Happy Pride Month to our favorite Nearlyweds! 🏳️‍🌈

On this weeks episode, Tash and Kass wanted to share some great insights on planning a wedding if you identify with the LGBTQIA+ community. We know it can be challenging to know where to go for vendors, how to choose which side pays for what, as well as many other traditional wedding aspects that maybe you as a couple don't identify with or know how to navigate.

Plus, Tash found a great article that gives a few updated options for more gender neutral wedding terms if you don't see yourself as a bride or a groom! We are all about love, support and learning when it comes to our LGBTQIA+ friends!

Thank you to all of our listeners who have been supporting us on this fun journey of podcasting!

Did you know that to much nagging will send your husband into the arms of another woman? No? Well then today’s episode will be a real treat for you!

On this weeks episode, Tash and Kass are taking a modern spin on vintage marriage advice. Kass purchased some vintage Delineator magazines from 1932/1933 at a local vintage store here in SLC which inspired this episode.

These articles are a good reminder that living in modern day 2023 is 1000% better than Victorian era because this advice isn't not for the faint of heart. Maybe there is a silver lining among all of these old world advices but we aren’t sure we found any.

It only took us a couple times to get this episode recorded. But we promise you'll want to stay for the end to hear us serenade you all!

It's that time of year where we are looking ahead to 'future' bridal trends. According to various sources, the bride of 2024 is going to want everything and the kitchen sink...even things that seem to fit during a zombie apocalypse wedding, designed by Cruella DeVil herself. But Tash's favorite is the amout of 90s inspiration in future wedding dress styles.

What trend(s) are you most excited to see? Or what trends do you wish would never make a comeback? Be sure to check out our Instagram stories on the day this episode drops to vote what your favorite 2024 styles will be!

Kass is taking the reigns this week and y'all should be scared! (Too bad it's Thursday the 13th and not Friday...would have made it this episode that much better)

One this weeks episode we are discussing wedding horror stories. Not actual horror that involves blood, guts and ghosts.....but the strangest, most cringe stories you've ever heard. What kind of scenario did the bride walk in on with her fiance the day of the wedding? Or what did the overly drunk groom do on the dance floor during their reception? You'll have to listen to find out.

Don't say we didn't warn you!

They say a photo is worth a thousand words...imagine what a painting of you and your person would be worth!

This week Tash and Kass interviewed the sweetest, most amazing artist named Kay Potter from Livingston, MT. She sent the sweetest email telling us all about her mission as a live painter for couples in her area. (So of course we had to interview her!)

Artists are known for capturing beauty in all forms throughout history so it makes sense that our tech driven world is seeking old world ways to capture their wedding day. (This doesn't mean we don't love our photographer and videographer friends!) Take a listen as Kay tells us all about the benefits to having a live painter and how she found a way to help couples capture their perfect moment on canvas.
