Do we really NEED to after all? They exist for the purpose of pushing 'stuff' at you. Websites like this are all you need at the end of the day - the info is there on what is out there, but without the in-your-face pressure to buy into anything and everything, and noone there to be critical of your less 'mainstream' decisions. I'm steering well clear! :D What about just not going to wedding fairs ;) ? Do we really NEED to after all? They exist for the purpose of pushing ‘stuff’ at you.

I'm strong enough to not buy into the whole wedding business too much, but other people aren't and they are ending up spending money they don't have on things they don't need that end up going to waste. Maybe you could start green wedding fairs? (and bring one to Edinburgh of course!)
