Host Emily Lewis was supposed to get married on September 12, 2020, to her best friend, in front of her tribe of 150 loved ones. Needless to say, the vision she had crafted on Pinterest was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter in place. In March, she was optimistic that she and her husband were safe, but as time progressed, the realization set in that she had to bob and weave. From 150 to 7, she had an unexpected dream wedding; not everyone has had that same experience.
On the Bride to Have Been podcast, Emily will interview fellow COVID Brides about their experiences planning a wedding during a pandemic; the highs, the lows and the pro tips. Additionally, she will connect with wedding planners, wedding photographers, wedding venues and other individuals who have also been impacted. Her goal is to build a community, a #COVIDBrideTribe, to let people know they are not alone and shine a light on this new normal in the wedding industry.
Follow and connect with her on social media @bridetohavebeen, to share your stories, suggest topics to touch on or just to show support to the other brides on this journey.
Bride to Have Been is brought to you by GiftPod and produced by StudioPod. Edits were made by Nodalab. Special thanks to GaryOAKland for the original track "late night ride". Subscribe, rate and share with your #COVIDBrideTribe.
