36: Planning a Proposal (With a Professional)

In today's episode, Georgie is joined by co-host Shivani Khatri, founder of The Proposal Planners! This week is something a little bit different... It's a look inside an industry most people never think about: what a proposal actually costs once you add up the venue, the decor, the photographer and everything else; the permits and contingency planning behind even the most "spontaneous"-looking public proposal; and the wildly different expectations different couples and cultures bring to the table. Along the way there's a proposal that ended in a very public meltdown over artificial flowers, a same-day double-booking with the exact same setup, and the story of the one time — after years of a perfect record — someone actually said no. Georgie also opens with a quick, practical nudge every couple planning an outdoor wedding element needs to hear: build yourself a proper Plan B, because the weather doesn't care how many apps you checked. A UK wedding podcast episode for anyone who's ever wondered what really goes on behind a picture-perfect "will you marry me."
