Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Wedding Planning

A wedding is a ceremony planned to formally execute (and celebrate) a legally binding marriage contract between two parties. While it may not be the sexiest or most romantic way to describe it, but at the crux of it all, a marriage is a legal contract and a wedding is the ritual that marks this life altering change.Even though weddings are incredible and magical and often described as the best day of someone's life, there is just no escaping the fact that a wedding is accompanied by several legal considerations, both in your union, and in the planning of the event itself.But the legal stuff can be really overwhelming. So we have an amazing guest with us to help understand it all. Kunbi Odubogun is a business attorney, speaker, and digital media expert with over 12 years experience in the creative and legal industries.She is the founder of two online businesses — Perfete, a digital media platform focused on highlighting the celebratory moments of life, and Legally Set, an e-commerce store offering legally sound, attorney-drafted contract templates for entrepreneurs, event professionals, and creative business owners.

The Legalese of Wedding Planning

For most of us, a wedding is something we view as a rite of passage filled with traditions we associate with the celebration, that often we might not understand or really know the history behind. So, naturally, there are a lot of questions when it comes to why we do weddings the way that we do. To get some answers, we sat down with Mariah Grumet, founder and instructor at Old Soul Etiquette. She wrote an entire book on modern wedding etiquette called "What Do I Do?" and has made appearances on the Today Show, NBC News, and more. This episode is sponsored by Greenvelope.B$B BlogB$B on TikTokB$B on InstagramFree Invitation PrintablesWedding Deals!The Bookemail podcast@thebudgetsavvybride.com to collaborate!The Bouquet Toss is part of the Evergreen Podcasts Network Learn more about your ad choices.
