Author and pro bridesmaid Jen Glantz brings her hit newsletter to life in this judgment-free zone for all your burning real wedding, love, and friendship drama questions—plus expert advice to help sort it all out.
In this episode, Jen is joined by New York Times bestselling author K.L Walther (The Summer of Broken Rules, A First Time for Everything) to explore whether obsessing over romance novels is a red flag—or a roadmap to finding your person. From hiding love notes in suitcases to writing swoony vows, K.L. shares how fiction shaped her real-life love story (and why her fiancé might just be her ultimate book boyfriend).
Plus, Jen and K.L. take a heartfelt caller question from a listener who’s worried she’s too in love with love. Is writing your dream romance in your head before you meet someone setting you up for heartbreak—or helping you stay true to your standards?
Episode Highlights:
• What romance novels really teach us about relationships
• How to write your own vows—even if you’re not a writer
• The pressure of planning a wedding (when you’re a professional storyteller)
• Why it’s okay to be “picky” in dating—and what that actually means
• How to stay grounded in reality while dreaming big about love
If you’ve ever made a list of traits inspired by your favorite fictional crush, this one’s for you.
