United States - November 5th 2013 - The cash register’s software was down. The sale was made, but
what about the amount due back? The downed registered highlighted the fact,
that the retail clerk didn’t know how to count the required change due at the
end of the transaction! - She had never learned how to do this! This
article is about something like this. If you don’t read this article, then you
prove my point. And, if you do, perhaps we can talk about smartening up the
wedding industry, and inspiring thoughtful brides through providing great
wedding planning learning platforms via Internet.

A cursory Internet review of keywords related to “wedding articles” left me briefly stunned. Mind you, an exhaustive or detailed survey could render a different yield. But, at present, the findings seem to suggest far more interest in wedding related reading amongst the English, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand peoples! Or, at the very least, even if not true, certainly, these countries' citizens seem more aggressive at bringing content to the top of search engine recognitions. Also, not a scientific experiment, certainly there are variables or exceptions to consider.
Moreover, when coupling the above with anecdotal experience,
I find cause to further wonder. If this generation’s American bride is not
devoted to education through reading…. And, if the American wedding professional
is not locked into professional growth through writing, discussing and reading....
then, how do they learn? Is it possible that
American brides or their wedding professionals are not convinced about learning
this way? Nor, that some of the most impressive and imperative learning comes
from organized ideas and facts formed into word communications?
A prominent national
wedding professional wrote:
“We offered to write blog articles for wedding professionals, and at no charge. But, the value of the offer failed them. Then, looking at their blogs or Facebooks’ or other social networking efforts…. Well, they were not even well plotted or tended verbal gardens. Vacant and filled with nothing, or something looking much like verbal weeds. Also, there were no signs of life, like that often seen through the participation of others stopping by for a good discussion, or to procure some new wedding planning insight. There were few or no comments, discourses, objections, etc. Why?”
Moreover, we too even offered career wedding service providers and brides the opportunity to add to our articles, or help us write relevant ones. But, only a few takers! Don’t get me wrong, our articles are read. It is more the lack of participatory interest that is glaring! Collaboration is a wonderful way to accomplish many important goals through teamwork. And, if you are reading this article, I don’t need to tell you this. In fact, for those who have participated, thank you. Professionals, such as Wedding Manners expert, Maria Erdman and Healthy Bride Nutritionist Donna Schuller are a few of the exceptional experts who have collaborated with some fine article writing. With new articles scheduled for the future.
For the American bride, is it really true that she just doesn’t want to learn in this way? Perhaps, she thinks a simple “Internet search” will make her a wedding expert! Or, is she just the product of a failed school system, which does not emphasize the basics, while, at the same time, ascribing a “god-like” self worth to her that leaves an unwitting bankruptcy?

1. We are wired to learn. So
learn!
2. We find joy in learning. So be joyful!
3. We mature through discussion & thought. So grow & discuss!
4. We pass on good information to the next generation. So pass it on!
5. We avert mistakes, by learning from those who didn’t dodge
them. So do it rightly!
6. We are exposed to things that we did not know. - Giving us new things to try. So, try something new!
7. We learn from experts, determining what is outside our
reach, makes us wise consumers – This helps
the non-expert to direct time and efforts and expectations accordingly.
8. It is a wedding professionals obligation to advise, and
writing about their subject is a vehicle. So,
advise!
9. It is a part of a bride’s wedding planning enjoyment. So,
enjoy!
10. Generally, reading energizes critical thinking. Critical
thinking is “valuable livings” advisory
tool, medicine, and protector!
11. It encourages and develops creativity while participating in a planning endeavour. So, be creative!

Concluding Thoughts
There is a lot to learn that must be placed in print, so to
speak. – Both for the one writing, and
the one reading! Not to mention how amazing the wedding planning experience
could be, if done in an educated manner. So, wedding professionals, how shall
we teach them? How shall we learn without discussion and the important
interpersonal communication of writing and reading? Brides, when planning a wedding, thinking
about things is beneficial. And doing
that through reading wedding articles or contributing to a written discussion
can propagate a sort of “Wedding Planning
Nirvana”.
About This Article – Why aren’t they reading wedding articles? My article is
not a rant, but, about an observation. It is about the potential loss of
something valuable, both for the wedding professional and the wedding planning
bride. Take time to write, read and discuss wedding articles, then share the
joy of learning with others. Wedding professionals make the wedding industry
what it could be through increasing knowledge and understanding, while honing
your skill set. Through the reading of wedding articles, brides explore the
wedding planning process by acquiring new ideas, facts and interests. Make the
journey to the wedding aisle interesting and memorable. If not for any other
reason, your first grade reading teacher would be proud! Use it or lose it!
