On this show Alison welcomes back Sara Margulis co-founder and CEO of Honeyfund. Sara started her company 20 years ago in 2005 and the inspiration came from her own wedding when friends and family came together to help make her dream honeymoon a reality. On this episode, Sara shares some hot destinations couples are travelling to for honeymoons in 2025 (hello, Iceland!), up and coming spots she thinks are perfect for romantic travel, and why travelling together and specifically a honeymoon are vital for a happy marriage. Sara also chats about the etiquette surrounding wedding gifting and the one thing you should never, ever expect from your guests.

The custom engagement ring is having a mega-moment thanks to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. So too are romantic old mine cuts and elongated shapes, and on this show we get into all of these Taylor-centric trends with Cathy Shen, a Vancouver-based jewelry designer and owner of Ma Folie. Creating bespoke engagement rings is the foundation of Cathy’s Vancouver-based business and she is passionate about pieces stacked with meaning, and personalization. “If you want something very intentional you go to a small jeweler or designer to create that piece which reflects you and your partner,” Cathy shares in this chat. Host Alison and Cathy get into the specifics of designing a custom engagement ring; why she loves sapphires for as a star-stone to make a ring truly bespoke; and how Taylor’s instantly iconic engagement ring will shape trends for years to come.
