Fallon asked for the audience for a destination bride getting married in Italy and indeed, she received. Enter RBB Kim Hawkins, joining the podcast this week to share all the things you need to know (and what you should expect) when planning a destination wedding. From firing a wedding planner due to cultural differences, to finding a venue for the ceremony that accommodates multiple religions, she’s been through it all. Then, hospitality guru Antonella Merli steps in to discuss one of our all-time favorite topics: the guest experience. Through her own experience as the Area Director of Sales for Belmond Hotels, she recommends the little touches for guests that go a long way.

Your Destination Wedding Survival Guide Ft. Kim Hawkins & Antonella Merli

When a bride accepts a proposal, they’re not expecting to say yes to distress. But wedding planning can be the most stressful time in any relationship — families collide, personalities clash, and wallets empty even before your mother-in-law adds her entire bridge club to the invite list. Good thing Betches Brides is here to help you laugh (cry?) through it all. Each week, stand-up comedians Selena Coppock — the mind behind the @nytvows parody account — and Chelsea White meet to swap stories about their own wedding journeys, while answering listener emails to help you not trip down the aisle. Selena and Chelsea are here for all Betches Brides and newlyweds in need of advice, empathy, and laughter — including themselves.
