Storytellers: Love Stories
Most people have dreamed of finding their partner their whole lives. That moment where it finally all comes together, you realize you’re going to get your happily ever after, after all. One day, you’re engaged. You’re glowing. You’re a bride. The next, you’re still a bride with a big ass event to plan and don’t know where to begin. Host Ali Stagnitta, founder of What Do I Do Brides, is here to help. Sharing her own experiences as a 2024 bride, as well as interviews with brides-to-be, newlyweds and bridal industry all-stars, listeners will feel less alone and, hopefully, find ways to have fun and enjoy the wedding planning process.
This is Storytellers: Love Stories.
