We've missed you! While it's been a few weeks since our last podcast, we are back and ready to tackle your wedding questions!

Whether you're getting married this July or deciding to postpone to next year, we've covering everything from wedding insurance (will it cover COVID related issues?) to how you can meaningfully celebrate your wedding ceremony now and at a larger party later.

We're baaaaaaack! What a crazy time this has been! So, the coronavirus has curtailed A LOT of your wedding plans, and you of course have questions.

We're answering this and your other coronavirus-related wedding planning questions on this week's episode!

We're hearing a lot from couples who have made the hard decision to postpone their wedding, but now have questions surrounding other wedding events (such as your bridal shower and when to have yours) as well as when to send out invites and RSVPs when you have a new date. On this episode we'll be answering your latest wedding questions, as well as sharing our tips for handling stress (wedding related or not). Hang in there and stay safe!

Welp. We're still in it, and we're not sure when things will go back to normal. Which leaves A LOT of questions for those planning a wedding. Are summer weddings still safe? Heck, what about the rest of the year? We'll walk you through what you should expect, as well as what to do once you DO decide to reschedule. PLUS: We're sharing the funniest tweets about co-working with your partner during these trying times, and how to actually get stuff done when you're always together.

There is so much uncertainty right now. From the safety of ourselves and others to what the economy and everyday life will hold the next few weeks with the coronavirus among us. And if you're planning a wedding on top of that it can feel even crazier. We're dedicating this week's episode to answering your wedding planning questions in the time of a global pandemic. Whether you're deciding to postpone your wedding, or what to do once you've changed your date, we'll guide you through one step at a time. 

The best wedding advice is from couples who've been through it, especially when it comes to picking out your wedding gifts. So we thought it would be fun to gather our favorite wedding registry tips from real brides and grooms. From the most overlooked gifts you'll get a ton of use out of to one thing to always remember when you receive an unwanted gift (aka that crazy vase from your Aunt Shirley) this episode is filled with lots of great wedding registry tips.

We recently came across an article where wedding experts (photographers, planners, officiants, and more) shared their experience with couples planning a wedding that they felt would help predict whether their relationship was going to last. From hiding the true cost of wedding expenses to not showing up to vendor meetings, these wedding vendors claim that the behaviors they've seen couples exhibit while planning their own wedding might predict their relationship future.

From wedding cakes to that tacky garter toss, we're talking about the most popular wedding traditions AND those that couples are throwing out the window (like that garter). We share our thoughts on each for this week's episode, so don't miss it!

If you think about it, your guest list is one of the trickiest parts of planning a wedding. From figuring out who should (and shouldn't) be on it to waiting for RSVPs and dealing with unexpected plus ones, things can get a bit complicated when it comes to those friends and family members you want to invite to your big day. This episode will help you figure it all out (including those infamous A/B lists!).

In case you missed it last week, you'll want to catch up and listen to both of these special episodes!

Seriously, these two episodes might be our favorite. So don't miss them!

From dealing with wedding budgets to unexpected guest drama, they share the insight they wish they would have gotten BEFORE their wedding. Don't miss this two-part special!

99% of the time finding a wedding venue is HARD. It's usually the biggest struggle that couples encounter when planning their wedding. In fact, it's THE reason why I started WomanGettingMarried.com.
