There are 3 big roles in your wedding which, should you have some strength or previous experience, you may choose to do all by yourself.

And they are wedding planner, wedding stylist and wedding coordinator.

But for those without the personality type, skills, connections, time and energy, taking on these responsibilities can seriously affect how you enjoy the lead-up to your wedding, your stress levels, whether or not you can stick to your budget, and also more crucially, how you experience the day itself.

In this episode, you will learn:

1) the responsibilities and roles that a wedding planner, wedding stylist and wedding coordinator fulfil in your wedding, and then

2) the personal skills and strengths, experience and talent you need to have to ensure you’ve got their role covered if you choose not to hire a pro for your wedding.

While in the past, a woman changing her last name to adopt her husband’s surname after getting married was expected in many countries and cultures, it’s not the case any more.

Many of the couples I marry want to know how to make a decision on whether or not to change their last name or names and what it means for their career, family life, their parents and their identity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• a brief history about the custom of changing last names after marriage,
• what the expectations are around the world,
• the pros of changing your last name,
• what the options are in a mixed orientation marriage,
• the potential downsides of changing your birth last name, plus
• a few handy questions to think about before you make your final decision.
