Are you quirky, funny, adventurous, nervous about public speaking, cheeky or shy?

Because, just like when you’re hungry, you might be craving a multi-course feast, a toasted sandwich or just a cookie, your wedding vows can be as elaborate or straightforward, as romantic and soppy or practical, as you like as long as they suit your taste.

So while many engaged couples are concerned with writing the perfect blend of hilarious, tear-jerking and meaningful vows, the smart ones, who are aware of their options, are tailoring the type or kind vows, as in the format of them, to their unique personalities.

And while you might be across what personalised wedding vows are, they are NOT your only option.

In this episode you’ll learn about:

• what personalised vows, ninja vows and whisper vows are,
• with some examples of each, plus
• the 3 questions to ask yourself to work out which type of wedding vow is perfect for you and your fiancé.

If I have to read or hear about yet another entitled bride bitching and moaning about how her bridesmaids don’t like the style of dress she’s chosen for them, or the colour, how much skin it shows, or they haven’t ordered them when she told them to, I’m going to scream.

While I’ll always be an advocate for you to have whatever the hell you want for your wedding and I would never say that all tradition should be scrapped for all time, in this day and age, is the angst worth it?

Today I’m going to teach you about where the tradition of bridesmaids all wearing the same dress comes from and why. And then I’ll share my 7 compelling reasons why you might want to stop expecting bridesmaids to wear the same dress or outfit.

What are your wedding memories worth to you?

One of the most frequently asked questions that I hear is, how can I easily and securely collect and save the photos that my guests take in the leadup and on my wedding day?

Some people use Facebook groups, but then others won’t go near Facebook, others will use Dropbox, but then realise too late that they’ve run out of storage. And please rest assured that hashtags are dead as well.

So when I heard that serial overachiever, Travis Cornish, had solved this predicament for you, I knew I had to get him to explain it to you himself.

In this episode, Travis will teach you:

• The simplest way to get your wedding guests to share their photos and videos with you,
• plus how to get as many of your guests to participate and be motivated to actually DO IT (because, just in case you didn’t know, getting wedding guests to share photos and videos in the past, has been like pulling teeth).

There are 3 big roles in your wedding which, should you have some strength or previous experience, you may choose to do all by yourself.

And they are wedding planner, wedding stylist and wedding coordinator.

But for those without the personality type, skills, connections, time and energy, taking on these responsibilities can seriously affect how you enjoy the lead-up to your wedding, your stress levels, whether or not you can stick to your budget, and also more crucially, how you experience the day itself.

In this episode, you will learn:

1) the responsibilities and roles that a wedding planner, wedding stylist and wedding coordinator fulfil in your wedding, and then

2) the personal skills and strengths, experience and talent you need to have to ensure you’ve got their role covered if you choose not to hire a pro for your wedding.

While in the past, a woman changing her last name to adopt her husband’s surname after getting married was expected in many countries and cultures, it’s not the case any more.

Many of the couples I marry want to know how to make a decision on whether or not to change their last name or names and what it means for their career, family life, their parents and their identity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• a brief history about the custom of changing last names after marriage,
• what the expectations are around the world,
• the pros of changing your last name,
• what the options are in a mixed orientation marriage,
• the potential downsides of changing your birth last name, plus
• a few handy questions to think about before you make your final decision.
