In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Wed and Worth It, Melissa sits down with Renee, a newlywed who shares the incredible 22-year journey that led to her luxe mountaintop wedding in West Virginia. From high school science class to long-distance love and a surprise proposal in Santorini, Renee walks us through every detail—from their black-tie ski resort venue to hiking Machu Picchu on their honeymoon (and yes, even adopting a stray kitten along the way). She shares budget realities ($130K including honeymoon), major wins, regrets, and honest advice for anyone planning a wedding they want to remember forever. This one is packed with laughter, real talk, and a gentle reminder to make your wedding day YOURS.
