Have you ever wondered how planning a wedding might be different the second time around? And why does it feel like such a touchy topic? As if the couple and their guests need to pretend like the first marriage didn’t even happen.
What unique challenges do couples face, and how can they create a day that they’re really happy with?
Today, I’ll talk about why second marriage weddings feel, to me at least, like they’re more common than ever, what makes them so unique, and how you can approach planning with sensitivity, clarity, and joy.
Whether you’re planning your own second wedding, helping a friend, or just curious about this topic, this episode is packed with insights, anecdotes, and practical tips to help make the experience as stress-free and beautiful as possible.
So stay tuned to learn how to honour your past while fully embracing your new beginning, how to blend families with love and intention, and how to build a celebration that’s truly about you and your partner.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
