In Part 2 of my conversation with Courtney Daniella, we move from discussing culture, identity and marriage to exploring her personal journey.

After coming out of a relationship, Courtney made a decision: the next man she dated would need to be her husband.

What followed was seven years of singleness filled with growth, purpose, travel, entrepreneurship and discovering who God had called her to be, without putting her life on hold for marriage.

Whether you're single, dating, engaged or married, this conversation offers practical wisdom for pursuing God's best while remaining rooted in your identity in Christ.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Courtney Daniella and I explore the messages women are receiving about marriage, relationships, and identity today.

From social media and dating advice to church culture and the pressure to get married, we discuss how women can navigate these conversations through a biblical lens without making marriage the centre of their identity.

We also explore questions such as:

• Has the church prepared women for marriage or simply encouraged women to desire it?
 • When does a healthy desire for marriage become an idol?
 • What does it mean to build an identity outside of relationship status?
 • How do we keep Christ at the centre in a culture obsessed with relationships?

Part 2 coming soon.

Conversations on weddings, faith, and marriage

#marriagepreparation #weddingadvice #relationshipadvice

Most couples spend months planning how their wedding looks… but that’s not what guests actually remember.

In this episode of Behind the Veil, I sit down with wedding MC Crespo, who has over 11 years of experience hosting weddings across different cultures and countries, to unpack what really makes a wedding feel amazing from start to finish.

From guest experience to preparation, team dynamics, and common mistakes couples make, this conversation gives a behind-the-scenes look at what truly shapes a wedding day beyond the aesthetics.

We talk about:
What guests actually remember about your wedding
Why preparation and clarity matter more than you think
Common mistakes couples make when planning
Why a bigger budget doesn’t always mean a better wedding
The importance of having the right team around you
How to create a wedding experience that truly reflects you
If you’re currently planning your wedding, this episode will help you think differently about what really matters.
