149. Wedding Reflections From A 2001 Bride with Kristea Cancel
This episode came together because Ashleigh stumbled across a wedding website that was created in 2001. She reached out to who was the bride-to-be and what became of that was a great hour of conversation with Mrs. Kristea Cancel. We went back in time to revisit her wedding planning and wedding day and had a great conversation just about how things have changed in the last 20+ years. This was a good talk! Hope you enjoy!

Aisle Tell You What - Harry Belafonte: The Friend, The Father, The Husband
Harry Belafonte was an acclaimed vocalist, actor, and activist. Since his passing on April 25, 2023, many have given their tributes and shared fond memories about Mr. Belafonte. When most reflect on his life, they see the successes… but fail to remember how a lot of this came at the expense of his family. Today, we’re going to look at Mr. Harry Belafonte in a different lens where we examine his closest relationships, marriages, and family.

Aisle Tell You What - All in The Family: The Story of The Cookes & The Womacks
We really just turned a TikTok video series into a full-fledged podcast. Girl! We did it, Joe!
To celebrate the inaugural Aisle Tell You What podcast episode (you have to go to YouTube for the visual version), I am giving you an episode y'all have requested many many times: the story of Sam Cooke + Bobby Womack. But let's go further than that -- let's just talk about the Cookes and the Womacks because these two families go together real bad.
But you tell me what you think: about this story but also about the first episode! And share it out, Aisle Runners/Aislanders (the name is still TBD, by the way.)

For some, handling a lot of the decor and elements of the wedding yourself is not because you have control issues but because you want to be smart with your wedding budget. That's exactly why 2022 DIY bride Markee Williamson DIYed at least 90% of her wedding. She explains to us why, how she did it, what projects she took on, and what she'd do differently if she had more time. This is a great listen!

143. The Glam Wedding Aesthetic with Christie ”Niq” Williams and Christy Record
We once asked why do all Black weddings look the same and when we said "the same", we really meant this glam aesthetic. But we wanted to talk about it because it IS the wedding aesthetic that is commonly associated with Black weddings. We wanted to hear from two wedding planners, Christie "Niq" Williams of Niq Williams Events and Christy Record of Swank Soiree, their thoughts on what they believe actually makes a glam wedding. We're discussing everything -- budget, vendor types, DIY, location, and more.
We also asked our Hue Boos (fiancees, wedding vendors, newlyweds, and more) their thoughts on glam weddings, too. You can read all about that here.

133. Proof That You Can Have It All with Brittany Gerald
As women, we're often told that we have to choose. We can't have the great career and the family. We can't have the house and the wedding. Even more so, as Black women, the mainstream representation of "having it all" never includes those that look like us. But we know that's not the truth. We're talking with public health professional Brittany Gerald about how she's planning her wedding while maintaining a full-time career, growing her small business, buying a house, being a mom and fiancee all at the same time. Enjoy!

We know how hard it is for Black people to talk about death or future planning, but we need to. We want to be better than the generation before us and well, it may feel morbid, this is something we need to think about now.
