🎙️ In this heartwarming episode of the Called 2 Serve Podcast, Our Host Reggie Hubbard sits down with Our Today’s Guest Kitti Nalley
A Romanian-born wedding coordinator whose story blends shyness, strength, humor, and faith in an inspiring journey from Europe to the heart of the American South.
Kitti opens up about growing up shy but naturally friendly, making instant connections even as a child in Romania. After moving to the U.S., one of her biggest challenges was speaking English. She shares openly how weak her English was at first — and how she overcame language barriers with humility, courage, and a willingness to keep trying, even when she didn’t get it right the first time.
Now a skilled event planner, Kitti finds confidence and purpose in coordinating weddings, where structure and timelines help her shine. She also speaks about the emotional pain of having to cancel her dream wedding in Romania due to COVID, and how the outfits and plans she once carried back home remain there, untouched.
From that heartbreak grew other dreams — like someday owning her own wedding venue. And in a delightful surprise twist, Kitti reveals that she’s also a certified scuba diver, who swam with over 15 sharks on her very first open-water dive!
