Weddings-ish with Jove

Drag Race star Marcia Marcia Marcia (Marty Lauter) on their backyard wedding: ceremony AFTER dinner, their dog as ring bearer, and friends as vendors. Two weeks after marrying Kyle, their partner of nine years, RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 alum and Broadway Cabaret star Marty Lauter joins Jove Meyer to talk about the queer backyard wedding they planned on Long Island. They held the ceremony after dinner, both sets of parents walked the couple down the aisle, and their dog Poppy carried the rings in a dress Marty sewed. Friends served as the photographer, florists, officiants, and DJ, and they were paid for it. There were also thrifted centerpieces and three outfit changes. Marty also shares how they met Kyle in Newsies, landed Cabaret in one week, and why they’re stepping beyond drag. Their projects include All’s Fair Season 2.

For the first time on Weddings-ish, Jove sits down with a mother-daughter duo: content creator and nutritionist Healthy Emmie and her mom, Healthy Mummy. They planned what they both call a completely stress-free wedding, and they share exactly how they did it. Emmie married her husband on May 15, 2026, in Newport, Rhode Island, despite a 100% chance of rain in the forecast. The family buried a bourbon bottle, hired an Etsy witch, and found a dime they took as a sign from Emmie’s late grandmother, and they woke up to blue skies. Emmie and her mom also talk about repurposing her mom’s 1985 Kleinfeld wedding dress, skipping a traditional bridal party for a “Blue Crew,” and giving Emmie’s two cats their own reception moment. In this episode: - How to plan a wedding with your mom without the stress - The rain forecast and everything they did to beat it - Why she skipped the first look - The Blue Crew, Proud Mary, and a cat dance at the reception - Wedding-day tips: keep your makeup artist for touch-ups and hire someone to vlog for you - Emmie’s sweet potato method and her simplest healthy eating tip Find Emmie @healthyemmie on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

You've seen the photos. Now hear the full story from someone who was there. Bridal designer Hayley Paige just got married, and Jove was a guest. In this episode, Hayley takes us inside her maximalist wedding weekend at the Mission Inn in Riverside, California. She wore eight wedding dresses in one day, including a pink ceremony gown and a rhinestone "glimmer" look that she changed out of mid-ceremony. She also had three wedding cakes (one shaped like a dress), a hand-painted dance floor mapped with the couple's constellations, and a custom wine aged since the year she and Conrad got engaged. After a seven-year engagement and a long fight to reclaim her name and her brand, Hayley explains why she designed her own bridal collection around her wedding. She talks about why she and Conrad said their vows without notes, and why she thinks "timeless" is the most overrated word in wedding planning. If you're planning a wedding and wondering how to make it feel like you, whether that means wearing a colored wedding dress, having multiple outfit changes, or ignoring what everyone says you "should" do, this one's for you. In this episode: - The pink wedding dress and the surprise mid-ceremony change - How she wore eight dresses without missing her own party - A seven-year engagement and vows without notes - Three cakes, rose petal rain, and a hand-painted dance floor - Hayley's top tips for planning a wedding that feels like you - Hayley turns the mic on Jove Hayley's wedding dresses launch soon.

Peloton instructor Matty Maggiacomo and his husband Evan join Weddings-ish with Jove to tell the story of their relationship — a dating app match right as COVID hit, months of long-distance FaceTimes, and a proposal on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
