You're planning a wedding. You start researching online, follow some influencers on social media and suddenly you're inundated with information. Some of it's conflicting, some of it makes perfect sense. How do you know what - and who - to listen to? If this sounds familiar, this episode is for you! I'm dishing with an incredible DC-based wedding planner about filtering through advice, plus the shift we're seeing toward more "traditional" wedding celebrations for 2025.

We often think of destination weddings as being at a vacation destination. But, when you're in the military, you're often planning the opposite way. That's what Meg and Will did. While stationed in Hawai'i, they planned a wedding in Megan's hometown in Northern Virginia. That meant relying on family members and lots of travel for Meg while Will was deployed. Tune in to hear how they managed the planning process and had a beautiful wedding, steeped in military traditions!
