There’s a good chance (91% in fact) you’ve never planned a wedding before and that you’ll only have one shot at it - with no do-overs. Wedding regret is a real thing that can steal joy from the planning, have you feeling anxious on the day and can haunt you afterwards too.

But there are solutions to most dilemmas, circumstances and situations if you’re willing to listen and learn.

In this special episode, you’ll learn:

• 4 wedding truths that you need to accept,
• the 9 most universally common and heartbreaking (because they can be avoided) wedding regrets that I’ve either experienced, read about or heard about from my couples, plus
• some extra, more subjective, wedding regrets.
