In today\u2019s world, trying to get married has become... a hot mess. So, to all the COVID brides to have been, grooms and wedding professionals: you\u2019re not alone. Welcome to Bride To Have Been, a StudioPod original podcast hosted by Emily Lewis, with the purpose of building a community by sharing the reality of this new normal in the wedding industry. Let\u2019s keep inspiring each other and celebrate the thing we treasure the most: love.

In this week\u2019s episode of Bride To Have Been, bride Llan\xe9e tells us all about how she had just dropped off her wedding dress for alterations when shelter-in-place orders started dropping. Llan\xe9e and her fiance Andrew were set to get married in May 2020 in Jamaica, but the global pandemic forced them to make a new plan. Now the couple is looking forward to tying the knot this summer, and only with a slightly scaled down version of their original tropical vision.
