The Secret Society of Brides

In today's episode, Georgie is joined by co-host Shivani Khatri, founder of The Proposal Planners!This week is something a little bit different...It's a look inside an industry most people never think about: what a proposal actually costs once you add up the venue, the decor, the photographer and everything else; the permits and contingency planning behind even the most "spontaneous"-looking public proposal; and the wildly different expectations different couples and cultures bring to the table. Along the way there's a proposal that ended in a very public meltdown over artificial flowers, a same-day double-booking with the exact same setup, and the story of the one time — after years of a perfect record — someone actually said no. Georgie also opens with a quick, practical nudge every couple planning an outdoor wedding element needs to hear: build yourself a proper Plan B, because the weather doesn't care how many apps you checked.

This week is a lot more honest than usual — fair warning, it's an explicit one 😂 Georgie's co-host is Persia Lawson, dating and relationship coach and author, whose own very public, very messy dating history became the foundation for a career helping other women build relationships that actually last.It's a funny, properly honest conversation that starts with the tabloid headline Persia once wanted to disappear from and ends with her owning that story completely — and in between, it wanders through why people really cheat, the odd, dinosaur-shaped run of coincidences that led her up the aisle to her own husband, and the quieter, more grounded habits that keep a marriage going long after the big day.

This week's co-host is Kayleigh O'Connor, a holistic grief coach and founder of Good Grief.**WARNING"" This episode is deep, honest, and the girls go deep into a wide-ranging conversation about grief as well as wedding planning.They talk about what actually happens when loss and wedding planning collide: why grief so often resurfaces once you're engaged, how to prepare for the parts of the day that might catch you off guard, the wedding paperwork detail nobody warns you about, and why the "wedding blues" you feel afterwards is a genuine form of grief in its own right. Georgie also shares her own experience of grief around her parents' divorce. The episode closes with a listener's real, ongoing dilemma: how do you plan your wedding when you don't know if your dad will still be here to see it. If you've ever wondered how to hold grief and happiness at the same time, this one's for you .Check out Kayleigh;Website - https://good-grief.co.uk/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/goodgrief_uk/This is OUR society, so please share your thoughts and ideas on socials, in the comments or by email at hello@secretsocietyofbrides.co.uk-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Society is now open 🥳Wedding planning can be lonely — 100 tabs open, the bridesmaid chat's gone quiet, and nobody really gets what you're going through.
