In this episode, I chat with the lovely Liv Clarke about her sweet supermarket romance with Leighton, their surprise Fiji proposal, and how they pulled off a fun, relaxed Tree Church wedding that truly felt like them.
💜 From grocery checkouts to saying “I do”… the sweet way Liv and Leighton’s story began.
💜 How a group trip to Fiji turned into the ultimate surprise proposal.
💜 Why they secretly planned a small wedding and a surprise engagement party for 150.
💜 How Liv found her dream Trish Peng dress for less at a sample sale.
💜 The best wedding spend ever: an on-the-day coordinator to keep things chill.
💜 Why DIY grazing platters were her only regret (and what she’d do instead).
💜 How they skipped the sit-down dinner and had a pizza truck party instead.
💜 Fun TikTok-inspired content ideas they filmed on the day.
💜 Their wedding budget goals and clever ways they saved.
...and so much more!
