Wedding season is all about the dress, the venue, and the perfect playlist—but what about life after the big day? In this episode, I’m joined by Colleen Marcoux, a wedding officiant and relationship therapist (and the newest member of Alexa Gelles Counselling) who has seen couples at their highest and lowest moments.

We talk about:

• The surprising overlap between officiating weddings and counselling couples
• How to prepare for marriage beyond the guest list and flower arrangements
• Why elopements are becoming more popular—and more meaningful
• The conversations every couple should have before saying “I do”

Whether you’re planning your wedding, recently married, or simply want to strengthen your relationship, this conversation offers insight, practical tools, and inspiration for building lasting love long after the honeymoon ends.
