The dissertation work continues with three interviews scheduled for this weekend. The response rate to my online survey has quietened down, but I have 110 responses to work with which is a fairly good number! This week has consisted of working on my literature feedback to add in those extra references and critical analysis to strengthen the work.

This afternoon I also got speaking to one of my tutors about the possibility of publishing my dissertation when it is complete, and he was very keen to help me with this. I feel very passionate about education, university and weddings, and the idea of publishing my work to help other people in my shoes is a brilliant feeling. There isn’t currently a lot of literature on the wedding industry, let alone on something as specific as wedding consumption. This has really motivated me to keep going with my work in the hope that one day I’ll have a publication!
