    From The Traitors Castle to Happily Ever After: Tara Lipinski and Colton Underwood Share Their Real-Life Love Stories

    Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove! This week, we’re revisiting two fan-favorite conversations with The Traitors standouts: Olympic champion Tara Lipinski and former Bachelor Colton Underwood—proving that while strategy and suspense may define the castle, love stories are where the real drama lives. From whirlwind meet-cutes and wedding blues to navigating fertility journeys and redefining what family looks like, Tara and Colton open up about the real moments behind their happily-ever-afters. Together, their conversations reveal what happens after the cameras stop rolling: the vulnerability, the growth, and the intentional choices that turn relationships into lifelong partnerships. Episode Highlights: - A meet-cute that proves love can start when you least expect it - The emotional reality of “wedding blues” after the big day - Lessons about love learned both on-screen and off - Honest conversations about fertility, family planning, and modern relationships - How reality TV fame shaped—but didn’t define—their love stories If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, or Love Stories TV’s YouTube channel. 💌 Have a question for Jove?

    She Walked Down the Aisle Bald… And There Wasn’t a Dry Eye in the Room

    Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove! This week, Jove is joined by viral beauty creator and founder Dani G for a vulnerable, honest, and deeply moving conversation about confidence, love, and showing up fully as yourself on your wedding day. Dani opens up about living with alopecia since childhood, how she built a career empowering others through makeup and self-expression, and the journey toward embracing her natural self both online and in her personal life. She shares how she met her husband Jack at the gym, the slow-burn romance that followed, and the unforgettable proposal on a beach in Alicante. The conversation then turns to their stunning destination wedding in Greece, where Dani made the emotional decision to walk down the aisle without a wig — something her husband had quietly hoped for since the day they met. From three iconic bridal looks and doing her own makeup to prioritizing presence over perfection, Dani reflects on what it truly means to create a wedding that feels authentic. Episode Highlights: - Dani’s alopecia journey and becoming a beauty influencer without hiding - The romantic beach proposal that caught her completely off guard - Why walking down the aisle without a wig meant everything - Her three bridal looks and embracing different versions of herself - Dani’s advice: ignore expectations and do what feels right for you If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, or Love Stories TV’s YouTube channel. 💌 Have a question for Jove?

    His Boyfriend Literally Swam Away During the Proposal

    Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove! This week, Jove is joined by newlywed author, global educator, creator, and host of And They’re Jewish, Hen Mazzig, for a joyful, emotional conversation about love, identity, and celebrating openly in a complicated world. Hen shares his modern love story with his husband Mark, from meeting on Tinder in London to navigating long distance, COVID separation, and ultimately building a life together in the UK. Along the way, we hear about a handwritten “be my boyfriend” T-shirt, proposals at sea in Greece, a counter-proposal with three rings, and the quiet care that defines lasting partnership. We then dive into their stunning Santorini wedding — a celebration that was part fashion show, part spiritual ceremony, and part communal healing moment. From breaking the glass together under the chuppah to a trans rabbi officiating, runway-style blessings, couture fashion, and fireworks over the Aegean Sea, every detail was intentional and deeply meaningful. Hen reflects on reclaiming Jewish tradition, queer visibility, and cultural pride through joy. Episode Highlights: - Meeting on Tinder and choosing each other through long distance - A Greece proposal that involved swimming away…  - Why both grooms broke the glass under the chuppah - Fashion, symbolism, and “coastal babes” wedding styling - Reclaiming tradition and celebrating queer Jewish joy If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, or Love Stories TV’s YouTube channel. 💌 Have a question for Jove?

    Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove! This week, Jove sits down with attorney, activist, policy strategist, and Bravo alum Preston Mitchum for one of the most powerful conversations yet. From Capitol Hill to the altar, Preston opens up about love, visibility, and what it means to build a marriage rooted in values, intention, and joy. Preston shares the full story of meeting his husband Donald, falling in love during the uncertainty of the pandemic, and ultimately choosing partnership grounded in shared values—even when their public lives look very different. Then, we dive into the wedding: a multi-day celebration in D.C. that honored Black culture, queer history, and community above all else. From activist-inspired seating charts and boundary-setting guest attire rules to fashion-forward looks and a Lauryn Hill first dance complete with surprise fog, every detail was intentional—and unforgettable.

    They Planned a Secret Second Wedding Behind His Back! Inside Ron Ben-Israel's Iconic Celebration

    Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove! Ten years ago, Jove interviewed Ron Ben-Israel when they were both single New Yorkers navigating the wedding industry. Fast forward to 2025, and they're both married men—not to each other, but to wonderful partners who've transformed their lives. This week's reunion episode is equal parts nostalgia, wisdom, and wedding industry tea. Ron Ben-Israel needs no introduction. He's the designer behind some of the world's most breathtaking wedding cakes, a Food Network star, and a man who's spent 30 years refusing to compromise on his aesthetic vision. But in this intimate conversation, Ron reveals a softer side—one shaped by falling in love with Hiroyuki, a Japanese man who introduced him to hot pot breakfasts, Zen cooking practices, and the art of letting go. From their friends-orchestrated matchmaking dates to their surprise City Hall ceremony (complete with flower crowns!), Ron's love story is as unexpected as it is beautiful. Episode Highlights: - Creating trends vs. following them: the Ron Ben-Israel philosophy - The evolution from Martha Stewart demonstrations to hosting his own Food Network shows - How friends orchestrated multiple dates before finding "the one" - The one fight they've had in their entire relationship (it was about TikTok) - Why City Hall felt more romantic than any ballroom If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, or Love Stories TV's YouTube channel. 💌 Have a question for Jove?
