All the vendors such as the venue owners, decorators, and chefs will have been paid down payments that&#8217;ll now have to be forfeited. (We&#8217;re told that it might also cause some emotional distress, but hey, we&#8217;re an economics blog.) One entrepreneur has thought of a way to ease that pain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bridalbrokerage.com\/\">BridalBrokerage.com<\/a> individuals who&#8217;ve decided to call off their wedding can sell their wedding online.<\/li>\n<li>This allows another couple with slightly brighter prospects to get a wedding at a discounted price. They keep the same service providers who have already been given payments, and just proceed with the wedding as planned.<\/li>\n<li>Buyers can hope to save anywhere between 25% and 33% off the true cost of the wedding.<\/li>\n<li>The people behind the service say that while you may be buying somebody else&#8217;s wedding, you can still customize it for yourself. The chef, for example, may have been given a down payment, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t change the type of cake that will be prepared for the celebration.<\/li>\n<li>Despite high demand, other people&#8217;s wedding dresses and rings can&#8217;t be purchased through the site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read more about the service, how it works, and how much money you could save over <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2012\/09\/29\/bridal-brokerage-takes-the-financial-sting-out-of-canceled-weddings\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2012\/09\/29\/bridal-brokerage-takes-the-financial-sting-out-of-canceled-weddings\/\">Gigaom<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/marginalrevolution.com\/marginalrevolution\/2012\/10\/a-new-market-for-weddings-market-makers-in-everything.html\">Marginal Revolution<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having to call off your wedding is a traumatic experience.
