What if you could rewrite the rules for your wedding day? For couples who don’t fit the traditional mold—or simply want to ditch outdated customs—creating a ceremony and an entire celebration that truly reflects their love can feel a little overwhelming.

In this episode, Monty Haron, an Australian celebrant with a very special flavour, joins us to explore the best alternatives to wedding customs without leaning on heteronormative traditions.

Honestly, our conversation was so good and we were having so much fun that I just kept recording! And that's why I’ve had to split his interview into two parts.

In this first part, you’ll learn all about Monty’s insights and wild stories from his weddings that defy expectations.

So whether you're LGBT+, non-traditional, or just curious about shaking things up a bit, this conversation will inspire you to make your day uniquely yours.

And next week, in Part 2 Monty shares actionable alternatives to traditional wedding elements like the processional, navigating family expectations, and infusing your unique identity into every single moment.
