Summary

This week Nick and I are on the mic basking in our wedding glow and answering some of the most common questions we've received. A year ago we had no idea where we wanted to have our wedding, how to find a planner, and what we wanted to do to make our day feel like "us". We pulled it off and managed to achieve our perfect day!

Here's the juice:

what we loved and what we didn't love
things worth spending on versus things we didn't need to spend on
the ceremony and ritual elements that we worked into the flow of our day
our private ceremony that we did all alone
the rituals we did before the wedding day to help us step into our new roles as husband and wife
the pros of having a welcome party the night before
why we chose not to drink during our wedding and the benefits of being sober during your wedding day
how we worked with our officiant beforehand to weave our own tradition into our ceremony
the changes we felt after getting married and our post-wedding plans!

0:00.0	Today's episode is sponsored by me, and as previously you've heard this before,
0:03.9	if you guys are new to this show or you know who I am, I am a clinical herbalist,
0:07.4	I am the founder, formulator, and CEO of Organic Olivia, a company that is my heart and soul,
0:12.5	where I make effective, high-quality herbal remedies for anything that ails you.
0:17.2	I'm a very passionate herbalist, I love to make the formulas that I do because they genuinely
0:21.4	impact and change lives and you can see that across our entire website with the reviews that we
0:25.7	receive, they really blow my mind. The two formulas that are sponsoring today's
0:29.4	episode are mood juice and flowers for my love, because these are two tinctures that have
0:34.9	an immense impact on your emotional health and your energetic state when you're stressed out and
0:40.3	need something to help loosen and open you up, and they are the two tinctures that Nick and I
0:45.0	used to create functional mocktails because we were doing an alcohol-free wedding for ourselves.
0:50.4	So starting the day before we packed up to go upstate for our wedding, we started drinking
0:55.2	these mood-boosting heart-opening mocktails that we were making at home, so that we could get
0:59.9	what people are looking for with alcohol, which is to be loosened up and stress-free in a natural
1:05.5	herbal way. So Nick and I took sparkling water, various syrups and non-alcoholic persecos and
1:13.0	yada yada, and we created our own little sparkling mocktails, and we put droppers of our tinctures,
1:19.4	mood juice and flowers for my love, into those mocktails, and the effect was incredible.
1:25.3	Both of these tinctures give you this uplift and the sense of happiness and freedom and
1:30.9	open-heartedness and sort of this inner child's connection without you having to drink alcohol,
1:36.9	which can often kind of make you actually feel shut down and more anxious. And all you need to do
1:42.8	is put one to two droppers of these herbal tinctures into any sparkling water or tea or anything
