    The Legalese of Wedding Planning

    The Legalese of Wedding Planning

    A wedding is a ceremony planned to formally execute (and celebrate) a legally binding marriage contract between two parties. While it may not be the sexiest or most romantic way to describe it, but at the crux of it all, a marriage is a legal contract and a wedding is the ritual that marks this life altering change.
    Even though weddings are incredible and magical and often described as the best day of someone's life, there is just no escaping the fact that a wedding is accompanied by several legal considerations, both in your union, and in the planning of the event itself.
    But the legal stuff can be really overwhelming. So we have an amazing guest with us to help understand it all. Kunbi Odubogun is a business attorney, speaker, and digital media expert with over 12 years experience in the creative and legal industries.
    She is the founder of two online businesses — Perfete, a digital media platform focused on highlighting the celebratory moments of life, and Legally Set, an e-commerce store offering legally sound, attorney-drafted contract templates for entrepreneurs, event professionals, and creative business owners. She's also one-half of the Legal Firm, Oduberg.

    "What Do I Do?" Get Answers To Your Biggest Wedding Etiquette Questions!

    For most of us, a wedding is something we view as a rite of passage filled with traditions we associate with the celebration, that often we might not understand or really know the history behind. So, naturally, there are a lot of questions when it comes to why we do weddings the way that we do. 
    To get some answers, we sat down with Mariah Grumet, founder and instructor at Old Soul Etiquette. She wrote an entire book on modern wedding etiquette called "What Do I Do?" and has made appearances on the Today Show, NBC News, and more.

    Laughing Down The Aisle

    Laughing Down The Aisle

    Tears are a big part of most weddings. Some even prepare for them with custom tissue packets or hope their partner will cry when seeing them at the other end of the aisle. But, while tears can't be planned, you can set an intention of joy throughout not just your wedding day, but your entire wedding planning process.
    Jameeta Lewis-Davis is a lover of fashion, listener of podcasts, writer of books, and a customer service powerhouse. She joins us to talk all about why joy and laughter are so important in wedding planning, her own experience prioritizing joy on her big day, her awesome book called "Laughing Down the Aisle!" and why that's exactly what she believes you should be doing!

It’s more than a wedding podcast

Caring about people as a whole and not just for one day of their life. Super helpful for many aspects of life (especially wedding ) but thanks for seeing that people are more than their weddings.

Conversational and Easy to Implement

This is an easy show to listen to, and the resources are super helpful and simple to put into action. Weddings are so complicated, and they help break them down into manageable bites.
