Worse than Bridezilla - the HST attacks BC summer weddings

VICTORIA - It's June, and that means wedding season is in full swing.
But this summer, perhaps the only thing worse than an attack of the Bridezilla blues is the attack of the HST.

For many couples, the tax is showing up as an uninvited guest to many receptions and adding thousands to the final bill.

How does the HST fiscally dampen the special day?

Weddings are all about service: so hair, nails makeup will cost seven per cent more, along with catering, the cost of renting a hall, and hiring a wedding planner to pull it all together.

Still, couples tying the knot this summer can look forward to something old, that was the PST.

Something new: that's the new HST.

Something borrowed, about $2.8 billion worth that's the BC deficit, and something blue: that sinking feeling when the bill comes.
