Since the 2022 version of this episode was so popular, we decided to run it back for 2023 with bridal makeup artist B. Gandy from B for Beaute and wedding photographer Ashley Strickland of Ashley Nicole Photography. We've all seen our fair share of mess throughout 2022 so we want to leave it behindddd. This was the LONGEST episode we recorded so you already know it's going to be good. Go listen, boo.

As women, we're often told that we have to choose. We can't have the great career and the family. We can't have the house and the wedding. Even more so, as Black women, the mainstream representation of "having it all" never includes those that look like us. But we know that's not the truth. We're talking with public health professional Brittany Gerald about how she's planning her wedding while maintaining a full-time career, growing her small business, buying a house, being a mom and fiancee all at the same time. Enjoy!

We always knew we wanted to do an episode on safety, vigilance, and protection as Black women because that's the daily reality we live. As women planning weddings, bachelorette trips, families, and just existing, we must stay aware of what is going on around us. We brought on Robin Evans of Chicks With Triggers to talk about using firearms and other weapons, human trafficking, staying safe when traveling with friends, and a lot more.

Having a destination wedding in Europe as a Black bride is possible -- we all saw Issa Rae's gorgeous wedding photos and now we're chatting with recent bride Chelsea Vannucci about her fall Italy wedding. She's telling us how she pulled this off, how much it cost, how her presence and relationship was perceived amongst other Italians, and much more. A great episode to listen to if you're planning any European travel.

We're talking with one of our favorite wedding planners that we met via TikTok, Shaun Gray about a lot of stuff wedding planners don't usually tell you or share initially. We're discussing things he regrets, what he's learned over his ten years of planning, vendor and bride red flags, and so much more. If you're in the thick of planning, take note!

Can we discuss the stress of wedding planning? Like, not the vendor selection process or anything like that but when you're getting into it with your family or having to ask for money to help with XYZ... Or, outside of wedding planning, let's discuss how we evolve as people and how our spouse deals with that. We're talking to a great friend of the show, Omi Allen from BRIDEFRIENDS & DESTILAND about all of that and how it can bring us closer to our significant other.
