In this episode, I chat with the lovely Liv Clarke about her sweet supermarket romance with Leighton, their surprise Fiji proposal, and how they pulled off a fun, relaxed Tree Church wedding that truly felt like them.

💜 From grocery checkouts to saying “I do”… the sweet way Liv and Leighton’s story began.

💜 How a group trip to Fiji turned into the ultimate surprise proposal.

💜 Why they secretly planned a small wedding and a surprise engagement party for 150.

💜 How Liv found her dream Trish Peng dress for less at a sample sale.

💜 The best wedding spend ever: an on-the-day coordinator to keep things chill.

💜 Why DIY grazing platters were her only regret (and what she’d do instead).

💜 How they skipped the sit-down dinner and had a pizza truck party instead.

💜 Fun TikTok-inspired content ideas they filmed on the day.

💜 Their wedding budget goals and clever ways they saved.

...and so much more!
