I’m walking you through how to make this choice with intention, clarity, and confidence, so your wedding day is surrounded by the people who bring out the very best in you.We’ll talk about why emotional alignment matters more than tradition, how to lovingly set boundaries with those you’re unsure about including, and thoughtful alternatives to the traditional bridal party roles.
