Cleo joins me this week to talk about how she and Mike Yung planned their Pinterest-worthy multi-day wedding in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico that tied in both local traditions and details that were iconically them. We talk about how to limit your guest count, what they did instead of a first dance since they are not very "PDA", and how choosing a small town made the entire weekend feel like an intimate group vacation. Nothing rained on their (literal) parade - although the same could not be said about the custom dance floor. Cleo can be found on IG @cleovonsie
