Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove!

This week, Jove is joined by viral beauty creator and founder Dani G for a vulnerable, honest, and deeply moving conversation about confidence, love, and showing up fully as yourself on your wedding day.

Dani opens up about living with alopecia since childhood, how she built a career empowering others through makeup and self-expression, and the journey toward embracing her natural self both online and in her personal life. She shares how she met her husband Jack at the gym, the slow-burn romance that followed, and the unforgettable proposal on a beach in Alicante.

The conversation then turns to their stunning destination wedding in Greece, where Dani made the emotional decision to walk down the aisle without a wig — something her husband had quietly hoped for since the day they met. From three iconic bridal looks and doing her own makeup to prioritizing presence over perfection, Dani reflects on what it truly means to create a wedding that feels authentic.

Episode Highlights:

- Dani’s alopecia journey and becoming a beauty influencer without hiding

Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove!

This week, Jove is joined by newlywed author, global educator, creator, and host of And They’re Jewish, Hen Mazzig, for a joyful, emotional conversation about love, identity, and celebrating openly in a complicated world.

Hen shares his modern love story with his husband Mark, from meeting on Tinder in London to navigating long distance, COVID separation, and ultimately building a life together in the UK. Along the way, we hear about a handwritten “be my boyfriend” T-shirt, proposals at sea in Greece, a counter-proposal with three rings, and the quiet care that defines lasting partnership.

We then dive into their stunning Santorini wedding — a celebration that was part fashion show, part spiritual ceremony, and part communal healing moment. From breaking the glass together under the chuppah to a trans rabbi officiating, runway-style blessings, couture fashion, and fireworks over the Aegean Sea, every detail was intentional and deeply meaningful. Hen reflects on reclaiming Jewish tradition, queer visibility, and cultural pride through joy.

This week, Jove sits down with attorney, activist, policy strategist, and Bravo alum Preston Mitchum for one of the most powerful conversations yet. From Capitol Hill to the altar, Preston opens up about love, visibility, and what it means to build a marriage rooted in values, intention, and joy.

Preston shares the full story of meeting his husband Donald, falling in love during the uncertainty of the pandemic, and ultimately choosing partnership grounded in shared values—even when their public lives look very different. Then, we dive into the wedding: a multi-day celebration in D.C. that honored Black culture, queer history, and community above all else. From activist-inspired seating charts and boundary-setting guest attire rules to fashion-forward looks and a Lauryn Hill first dance complete with surprise fog, every detail was intentional—and unforgettable.

- Why representation matters in Black queer relationships

Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove!

Ten years ago, Jove interviewed Ron Ben-Israel when they were both single New Yorkers navigating the wedding industry. Fast forward to 2025, and they're both married men—not to each other, but to wonderful partners who've transformed their lives. This week's reunion episode is equal parts nostalgia, wisdom, and wedding industry tea.

Ron Ben-Israel needs no introduction. He's the designer behind some of the world's most breathtaking wedding cakes, a Food Network star, and a man who's spent 30 years refusing to compromise on his aesthetic vision. But in this intimate conversation, Ron reveals a softer side—one shaped by falling in love with Hiroyuki, a Japanese man who introduced him to hot pot breakfasts, Zen cooking practices, and the art of letting go. From their friends-orchestrated matchmaking dates to their surprise City Hall ceremony (complete with flower crowns!), Ron's love story is as unexpected as it is beautiful.
