Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove!

Today Jove is joined by Brooke Hyland — the Dance Moms star we all grew up watching — who was recently married in Florida in what can only be described as one of the most thoughtfully detailed weddings out there. From dancing at Abby Lee Miller's studio at age three to filming Dance Moms at 11, to her viral "Summer Love Song" reunion on her own dance floor with the entire cast, Brooke shares it all.

She opens up about her surprise Mother's Day proposal, the four-week-old nails she didn't know she'd be photographed with, and her Type-A bride era — Pinterest boards, Canva docs, Cricut place cards, DIY gelato cups, and a no-rain-backup-plan she simply manifested into a perfect February day. Plus which Dance Moms castmates were there, the real reason Maddie Ziegler couldn't make it, and the sunrise vow-reading on the hotel balcony that was just the two of them.

In this episode:

- Almost quitting dance for cheerleading right before Dance Moms came along

- Her mom's secret history dancing for Abby Lee Miller's mom

- The surprise proposal and the four-week-old nails

- Destination wedding at La Casa Toscana — the venue she found on TikTok

- The Dance Moms castmates who were there — and the Maddie Ziegler truth

- The "Summer Love Song" dance floor moment no one saw coming

Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove!

Today Jove is joined by Nica Che, founder of FashioNica, the vintage designer bag business that took off virtually overnight. From sliding into a Cosmopolitan editor's DMs as a 20-year-old to landing celebrity styling gigs, leaving corporate to build her own business during the pandemic, and finally — after a five-year engagement — planning her entire dream wedding in just 90 days, Nica shares it all.

In this episode, Nica opens up about meeting her husband at an Orange County boba shop when he ordered her exact drink to start a conversation, the Party City plastic ring he used to "propose" at the end of their very first date, and the wallet test she put him through that night without him knowing dinner was already free. She gets candid about a five-year engagement her wedding planner had to politely beg her to actually plan, the texts to her mom from said planner, and the moment she realized she had 90 days to pull off a wedding dress, venue activation, and every detail.

She also takes us inside her intentional, design-forward wedding — the ivory Tony Hamawy gown by Lo-Ho Bride, the wearable-art Coleguer floral clutch she carried down the aisle (painted by hand by her florist), the custom sugar-free chocolate invitations from Phantom Chocolate that doubled as the party favor budget, the personalized handwritten letter she wrote for each of her 119 guests, the hidden ladybug on her nail (and matching pin on her husband's sleeve) for luck, and the live painter who painted her guests into the wedding portrait now hanging in their home.

Plus, Nica shares how she built FashioNica from a single TikTok that hit a million views overnight, the brutal first year of ""saying no to everything personally to say yes to everything for the business,"" and her tips for sourcing vintage bags around the world.

In this episode:

Whether you're here for vintage fashion inspiration, the chaos of planning a wedding in 90 days, or a meet-cute that genuinely belongs in a rom-com, this episode is full of heartfelt moments, behind-the-scenes laughs, and beautiful wedding ideas.

Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove!

Today Jove is joined by Arianna Davis Santana, executive editor of TODAY Digital and author of What Would Frida Do? From starting her career as Gayle King's assistant to running digital at Oprah and now appearing on the TODAY show, Arianna opens up about the decade-long love story that led to her dream Dominican Republic wedding.

In this episode, Arianna shares how she met her husband Jay at a Fourth of July party in Long Island City—where he flirted by quizzing her about the books on her shelves and walked away with her copy of The Alchemist. She gets candid about their year-long pandemic breakup, the clarifying time apart that brought them back together stronger, and the romantic Valentine's Day proposal in Puerto Vallarta complete with a hidden photographer and a ring box that lit up the diamond.

She also takes us inside her three-day "Dominican Gatsby" wedding weekend at the St. Regis Cap Cana, including the merengue-and-bachata welcome party with a custom Panama hat artist, the unexpected rainstorm that hit mid-vows (and what everyone called a "blessing"), and the Pinterest-inspired bookshelf seating chart that doubled as a love letter to her literary side.

Plus, Arianna gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her viral TODAY show April Fool's prank with Jenna Bush Hager and Willie Geist, and shares the wedding details she'd splurge on again versus the ones she'd skip.
