DY………..
There is a Huge difference between suggesting people curb wedding expenses. which merely reduces the amount spent, than stating not to buy a product that eliminates all money spent.
OOT. the chances are much greater that the florist, photographer and union musicians are not frum yidden or even Jews at all.
I married off one daughter last year and another will be wed I”H this August at our home. The caterer is a frum yid coming from NY. The florist, photographer, table and chair rental company are all local businesses, not frum. They do business with me and Mrs. CTL and we in turn do business with them. There is no local frum alternative and no reason to import these items or people. The chosan and his parents are providing the band. I have no information yet as to the name of the band, only know that it will be 6 men.
I know that the engagement and wedding jewelry are coming from frum craftsmen, but this is a purchase I am not involved in.
