The Unconventional Wedding Planning Podcast Ashley C

Whether it's an over-involved mother-in-law who thinks this is her wedding, a mom who doesn't seem to care about your wedding, a stepmom who isn't on speaking terms with half of your guests, or not a mom issue at all, it's hard to deal with all of the family dynamics that come up when planning a wedding!
In this episode, I share my advice for how to deal with an uninvolved, over-involved or overly dramatic family member before, during and after your wedding. We discuss how to set boundaries, redirect, communicate clearly and rely on your partner for support.

How do you honour a loved one who is no longer with us on your wedding day? How do you pay tribute to them, without it being a major downer? How do you adjust your wedding plans if someone pivotal won't be there?
Listen in as I give suggestions for creative and personal ways to pay tribute to your deceased loved ones and offer alternatives to wedding traditions where a loved one usually has a major role. I'm also reminding you that it's okay to feel your feels about this shitty situation and skip any traditions that make you uncomfortable.
