I've got a very specific and seemingly different way of looking at how to create a wedding, it's my own little wedding planning method, The Withers Wedding Method. If that was a sexier name I'd probably make a book, but until I get a sexier book title, I'll drop it here as an episode of The Rebels Guide To Getting Married podcast and vlog. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/therebelsguide/message

Would you trust your wedding photographer if the only camera they had was an iPhone 11 Pro? This week I talk to my friend, and Indianapolis wedding photographer, Jen Van Elk who did just that, her husband Steve helps me find the best wedding venue on the Gold Coast, Sharne Perrett from the Australia-wide Virtual Wedding Fair explains what a virtual wedding fair is, and Michaela wants to know what to do about her partner wanting a big white wedding while she wants to elope.

The most popular place in the world to get married is probably not far from your hose, it's the beach! Here's some reasons why it's the worst, but also how you can make it great.

Britt's grandma always said you should start how you want to finish. In saying that she was encouraging you to think about the entirety of the project, including how you would like it to end. Here's an episode on how your wedding might end, but keep in mind I haven't covered disaster weddings like the one where the groom's father gets into a fist fight with his son. When that happens you'll just have to figure it out on your own. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/therebelsguide/message

Sorry. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/therebelsguide/message
