FEATURED QUERY: Do you rely on tips for a living? Tell us more
A couple of weeks ago, I asked people in our Public Insight Network about how the recession was changing their wedding plans.
Lindsey Wollschlager replied that instead of the big reception, she and fiance Justin Johnson were going to trim costs by moving the event to their favorite lakeside campground. Their story, by Marketplace reporter Ashley Milne-Tyte, aired today on Marketplace Morning Report.
