  • The Perfect Backyard Wedding in LA | Married Couple

    The pandemic threw a lot of us for a loop in the wedding industry, but it gave this couple the opportunity to celebrate in the way that they truly wanted — small, intimate, personal, and at home.

    We both think we really lucked out by having a pandemic wedding. Neither of us had any interest in planning and our parents both had a lot of requests. It was gearing up to be a nightmare. Then the pandemic hit and our parents were suddenly more concerned about us getting married than planning a big multicultural extravaganza.

    Jess, the CEO of Backbone Business, shares her wedding story and how they navigated the planning process prior to the pandemic and pivoted to get the wedding that they truly wanted in the end.

  • Loud Laughs and Lots of Love at this Wedding | Married Human

    When you're a loud laugher and get married in the mountains, it echoes. When you marry into a boisterous family, your wedding can be heard around the world.

    Sara is joined by the ladies behind Laughing with Gingers; Producer Liz tells the story of how she met, fell in love with, and married guest co-host Kristina's brother (that's a mouthful, huh?).

    Liz and Shaun had the perfect wedding for them — an intimate celebration in the mountains near Lake Tahoe, CA. Their Airbnb had an amazing view and the snow that fell the night before they said, "I do," couldn't have been more perfect.
