It has been quite a while. My Wedding Blog has taken many steps, some tough and challenging, to have arrived to where it is today.

Wedding Blogging has been my life. It is my life.

It is not easy to go through life. Likewise for sustaining a wedding blog.

It is just as hard to sustain a marriage and making it stabilise.

When you are doing something good for people, there will be people who like it and people who hate it.

For those who love it, they send you thank you emails, letting you know their weddings were a success because of the help this blog has given.

For those who find it too commercialised, they may forget that sustaining a wedding blog needs support too, readers support as well as financial support.

Nothing comes free. Bus transport isn’t free. Postal service isn’t free. Likewise, surfing the net right now isn’t free because you have to pay for the computer, the internet access and the electricity.

A wedding blog isn’t free. A domain name is about US$10 per year, email support is about US$20 per month, the webhosting is about US$20 per month, the broadband subscription and other miscellaneous is about US$20 per month.

Not forgetting the tons of bridal magazines and wedding planning guidebooks I am reading to make me ready to answer most of the brides’ questions which I get about ten per day.

A wedding blog needs money to support it. Just like marriage, it can’t be sustained based on pure love.

Try having a wedding and building a marriage without money. And see what happens.

They put up their best show to persuade you sign the contract and threaten to launch a report if you fail to pay the installments on time.

Money still talks. If you have money, you can talk louder. If you have no money, don’t even think of having a wedding.

So, What are some of the wedding pitfalls you should learn to avoid?

1. Magazines seldom tell you the dirt of wedding planning
