In this heartfelt episode, Palm Beach owner Jacque and Atlanta owner Madison open up about the tender side of wedding planning: celebrating a day of joy while missing someone you love. They discuss how grief can show up in unexpected moments, the balance of honoring someone without making the day feel heavy, and the deeply personal ways couples can keep their people close. Madison shares the meaningful tribute she included in her own wedding, and Jacque offers thoughtful ideas planners can use to support couples walking through loss. This one is warm, real, and a reminder that love has a way of being present — even when the people we wish were there physically can’t be.
