Aubrey’s Bridal Update! Real Talk on Exp...

Dear Media
About this episode

The bride is back! Victoria’s best friend of 20 years, Aubrey Gavello, spills the tea on all things wedding planning and what it’s really been like stepping into her bridal era. They dive into the highs and lows of planning a wedding, the traditions Aubrey’s keeping (and skipping), and how she’s shifting into that marriage mindset. From how she knew her fiancé, Wood, was the one to navigating the whole merging-finances-or-not thing—nothing’s off limits. Aubrey also opens up about the pressure to make the big day perfect, staying grounded in what really matters, and her best tips for current or future brides. Tune in for the real, unfiltered version of wedding planning you definitely won’t find on Pinterest!
