With football season officially kicking off, Alex has been getting into the spirit by doing some fantasy drafts. That got us thinking... what if we did the same for weddings? Welcome to the Fantasy Wedding Draft! In this episode, we’re bringing the excitement of football season to wedding planning.
Here’s how it works: There are 11 key categories to make up your “wedding” or “team.” You’ll have to fill all 11 slots, but there’s no budget! Each category has three options — some great, some not so much.
Let’s see how you’d build your ultimate wedding. Grab your fiancé and a notebook, and sit down for a fun date night to see how you each would draft your fantasy wedding!
