Wedding planning isn’t just about logistics, budgets, or aesthetics — it’s about identity, relationships, expectations, and emotion. And that’s why it can feel so overwhelming, even for the most capable, organized couples.

In this episode of Handled, Alyson explores the emotional architecture of a wedding — the invisible layers that make planning feel so big, so personal, and sometimes so heavy. From identity shifts and family dynamics to money narratives, social pressure, and the gap between Pinterest and reality, this conversation validates what so many couples are feeling but rarely hear acknowledged.

If you’ve ever wondered “Why does this feel so intense?” or “Why am I struggling with decisions that should feel simple?” — this episode is for you. You’ll leave feeling grounded, understood, and reminded that you’re not doing anything wrong.

This is your permission to slow down, lead with values, and plan from a place of intention — not pressure.
