- Inclusivity is key

It seems to all come back to what Julie Dolan told us in our grand-parenting episode about being the loving and loyal servant.
We talk about:
- The role of the bride and groom's family
- How the bride's family can help the groom's family feel more comfortable
- The role of the newly engaged couple
- Guest lists
- Finances
- and more
If you are in the stages of wedding planning and don't have the budget for a big time wedding planner, Michelle now offers a masterclass on her website. A tiny percent of what a full wedding planner would cost. Check it out her Master Class offer here.
