99. Why it's Time to Overhaul Weddings
Manage episode 290630519 series 2559109
"Women have rewritten every part of our lives, except how we marry. We’re still getting hitched in much the same way that generations before us have, albeit with the added modern pressures of having it be Instagram-perfect.” We chat with Michelle Bilodeau and Karen Cleveland, co-authors of The New Wedding Book: A Guide to Ditching All The Rules, which dropped 3 days ago in Canada. We talk about how you can drop the ball on your authenticity, budgeting, and priorities when you're planning for your big day and how "traditions" aren't really traditions. Michelle and Karen give us some tangible tips on keeping communication at the forefront, thinking about everyone to make events more inclusive and accessible, and sticking true to what's meaningful for your wedding. This ep is packed, we hope you love it!
