Description

After a whirlwind summer of family vacations and beautiful Maui weddings, I'm back—and full of fresh perspective. In this episode, I’m sharing surprising takeaways from our recent travels (yes, even Disneyland taught me something about weddings!).


From the importance of a well-planned timeline to the emotional impact of how events begin and end, these reflections will help you think differently about your own wedding day. I also open up about how overwhelming travel can feel—and how that gave me new empathy for couples in the thick of planning.


Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, this episode is packed with thoughtful insights to help you stay calm, intentional, and focused on what really matters.


What You’ll Learn:




  • Why the beginning and end of your event are the most memorable




  • How Disney inspired me to rethink how we wrap up weddings




  • The parallels between vacation overwhelm and wedding planning stress




  • Why planning ahead creates more freedom (yes, I use Aisle Planner for vacations too)




  • The value of taking intentional breaks during the planning process
