Summary

This week, Nicole is joined by athlete, activist and 2022 bride, Taylor Rae Almonte to chat about bringing on inclusive and diverse vendors for your wedding. First we get to know Taylor, her fiance, and their wedding planning so far. Then, Nicole asks about Taylor’s activism and how it sparked the idea to seek out vendors of all backgrounds and her reasoning behind it. Next, they listen to a Voicemail from a bride wondering what to do when her fiance's family is expecting her parents to pay for the wedding. Lastly, they end on “Unpopular Opinions” discussing if you need to have every relative at your wedding, if you really need a wedding party, and if you need to go around and greet everyone at the reception.
