Altared
Dre Jackson is married, and Alexis Jacobson is in the midst of planning her wedding, which was abruptly put on hold when the pandemic hit the US in March 2020. Altared was inspired by what happens when life doesn’t go as planned. Each Friday for our first season, we will specifically look through the lens of an “altared” wedding. The pandemic has rocked a lot of different industries around the world. The wedding industry essentially was paused. We will talk to different couples to see what they did, what advice do wedding vendors have, and pepper in some history about different traditions, whether outdated or simply odd. Will the wedding industry be forever changed? Weddings are so universal. In this divisive time, we want to talk to a diverse panel of people across the world, to help show that people have more in common than meets the eye, through the unifying element of love.
