The story of how we met is actually the story of how we didn't meet for a super long time. We went to the same tiny college, we taught at the same school... We have tons of friends in common. It's hysterical that we didn't meet for 20 years.
Myka and Dagan got married in Newport, OR. The day was perfect, but the planning process was not. Planning a wedding long-distance meant that these two weren't able to enjoy the "togetherness" of planning a wedding. 
Hear their story on this week's episode of The Wedding Dish!

This 2021 eco-friendly destination wedding in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, (just outside of Cancun) almost didn't happen - or so Jessica thought!

Get all the details as we dish on this week's episode!

When it comes to personalizing wedding ceremonies, we often think of writing our own vows, customizing the unity celebration, or choosing readings that mean something personal to us. Maybe we even think of having someone close to us perform the ceremony.
But, the options are truly limitless! Allie the Wedding Officiant shares stories of how her couples have created truly unique celebrations in this week's episode.

We're kind of normal-adjacent in the wedding world right now. It's not 100% back to carefree celebrations, but we're getting there. And, one of the cool things that has come out of the "pause" is that couples are doing what they really want during their celebrations.
Lean into that! Embrace it! You deserve to be happy and you shouldn't feel obligated to celebrate in a way that doesn't feel like YOU!

"I want to reiterate to couples that they should never take this bad behavior personally." Guests aren't always on their best (or most considerate) behavior before, during, and after your wedding. And, when that happens, it's not your fault!
Leah Weinberg of Color Pop Events is on a mission to reassure couples that no matter who might be giving you attitude, complaining, or just not acting in the most respectful way — it's not about you; it's about them.
Check out her book, The Wedding Roller Coaster.
