We’ve shared our engagement stories, and we've explored what helped us decide if our partners are "the one." And this week, we’re taking it up a notch! I’m joined by an incredible relationship coach – who also happens to be an experienced, happily married woman – to dive into the essential things you really need to know about your partner before saying “I do.”

Get ready for some honest advice and real-life insights that can make all the difference as you prepare for marriage!

💖  Introducing the Wedding Diaries! 💍

Wedding Diaries is a 5-part mini series where I team up with my chosen sister, RJ and other guests to talk all about wedding planning and marriage preparation. Weddings and marriage are such monumental chapters in our adult lives, and with my own big day just around the corner (okay to be fair I still have one year to go), I thought it would be fun to take you along and share my experiences and lessons that I’ve learned so far.

Whether you’re in the midst of planning your own wedding, preparing for marriage, or just curious about the whole journey, we hope our stories make you feel a little less alone and a lot more connected.
