It's Christmas time and one topic of discussion that is sure to come up around the Christmas table is your Wedding. Whether this discussion is pleasant or painful depends entirely on your family dynamics and how prepared you are beforehand. In this episode we wanted to give you some tips on how to share exciting wedding planning things with your family and friends but also how to squirm out of those icky conversations that are going to ruin your day. It's human nature for people to have opinions on the way they think your Wedding should go but only you can control what you share or how you react to their opinions. We hope this episode helps :)

Your Wedding Day is one of the biggest highs in your life and anyone who has ever been married knows the feeling of sadness that can come along after your big day is over. This is totally normal and happens to everyone after such a big life event. In this episode we want to share some ways that you can pick yourself back up from that post wedding slump and help you find purpose in life again. Plus we also give all the engaged couples some proactive tips that might prevent you feeling those post wedding blues months before your wedding day!! The biggest takeaway from this episode is that Post Wedding Blues are perfectly normal and they shouldn't be something you feel ashamed about feeling or talking about with others. Marriage is tough and sometimes it can feel like you are in it alone so definitely reach out to friends and family if things ever start to get hard.

Can you uphold Feminist ideals and have a Wedding in 2022? This week we discuss whether feminism can co-exist with weddings and marriage. We explore ways that Weddings have and continue to exclude Women and how you can change that by embedding feminism into your wedding and marriage. If you are feminist and wonder how you can get married, then this episode is for you.

This episode has been 30 weeks in the making since we released our first Budgeting Episode over 6 months ago. It has also been our most requested episode so this week we are sharing the total cost of our Wedding with the world! We broke it down for you guys into categories such as Venue Hire, Attire Costs, Vendors, Food, Decor & More so hopefully that will make it easily digestible and let you see what all of the individual costs were. Everything is in here and this is as open and honest as we can possibly be with just how expensive our Wedding was. I am sure the final number will shock people (in both a good and bad way) but we hope it can open your eyes to the costs of getting married and all the little expenses you should be prepared for. We also dive into some of the ways we saved money on our Wedding so definitely listen through until the end to hear those little gems. Enjoy and Happy Budgeting :)

The first thing that comes to mind when most people thing of Weddings is Family Drama and unfortunately the stereotype is true. A majority of Wedding Days (ours included) are plagued with family drama so in this episode we wanted to talk about some of the common causes and how you an get around them. We also touch on some coping strategies just in case the unthinkable does come to life for you. Fingers crossed it doesn't!

Have you noticed that as soon as you say the word WEDDING, prices sky rocket!!! You might be experiencing what us fellow wedding planners like to call the Wedding Tax! On this week's episode we discuss the wedding tax, what is it, when you have to pay it and how to get around it. Mike also gives us a vendors perspective on why the Wedding Tax exists and how it can be important in some cases.
