When Weddings Ruin Friendships

“We talk about our friends being with us through the toughest times, but we actually have more tension and conflict with each other around the best of the times”

I do... not want to be friends anymore.

A Practical Wedding

Name changes and emotional labor: AMEN.

"If you're a woman in Western culture, and you're getting married, you are almost guaranteed to be grappling with the decision of last names. Should you keep yours? Should you take your partner's name?"

Ohhhh I 👏🏻 felt 👏🏻 this 👏🏻 both personally and professionally.

It’s totally a thing.

Absolutely beautiful. People are good and magic is real.

Everything You Need To Know About Premarital Counseling

Matrimony Monday:

Your wedding is an incredibly important day in your life... but it's just not as important as the marriage that you're committing to.

In my opinion every couple headed for the alter should seriously consider pre-marital counseling to help them prepare for the huge step they're about to take together.

Check out this behind the scenes (literally!) sneak peak from Rebekah Marine’s big day! She and Jared are such a great match and it was an honor to help them officially tie the knot.

This past weekend I had the honor of managing and officiating the wedding of a dear friend (who just happens to be Rebekah Marine, Bionic Model), and Randy from Say Yes To The Dress was so touched by her story and her spirit that he joined us for her big day!

Pro tip: you know all those little moments that you want photographs of on your big day? Your grandma doing up your dress. Giving your flower girl her flowers. Handing your new mother-in-law a gift.

Make sure that your photographer has a list of those AND that you put times for those photos on your wedding day schedule. Don’t just assume they’ll happen organically! It’s going to be a wild and action packed day- don’t let those moments get lost.

We can help you make that happen- from getting everything scheduled on the master spreadsheet to making sure you stay on track during the day. Having a Professional Bridesmaid around means you won’t miss a thing and you won’t have to worry about it.

Unpopular opinion: the ceremony is the most important part of your wedding day.

Take the time to find and work with a wedding officiant you like and trust- they can help you craft a ceremony that really feels right for you and your future spouse. There’s no need for it to be fussy and boring!

This is the legal ceremony (and maybe even the religious/spiritual ceremony) that is going to permanently bind you to another human being. It matters!

Seriously guys. Srsly.

A growing number of couples are opting to not have a wedding party. They’re looking to spare friends and family the hassle and expense of serving as bridesmaid or groomsmen.

Being a bridesmaid is no joke. The anxiety around it for brides and maids alike is also no joke.

"The "Wedding Party" page on our wedding website remains blank. Because I have such anxiety — it's not about who I plan to ask but it's about the expectations that the Wedding Industrial Complex has set forth on bridesmaids."

Sure, you COULD try and DIY your wedding organization from scratch... or you could opt for a little extra support that will dramatically decrease your stress level. Your call.

It’s joyous and it’s stressful. It’s magical and it’s anxious.
It’s being engaged.

Let’s make it fun instead of fraught, shall we?

What is the best way to receive BIG news?

After yesterday's blog post I started thinking about the changing etiquette around the "supposed tos" of announcing big news.
How would you prefer to hear important news from a friend or family members?

When a friend or relative has LIFE CHANGING news to share, like announcing an engagement, marriage, or pregnancy, how do you want to hear it?
