About this episode

Brian Franklin discusses the importance of writing meaningful wedding vows and speeches, sharing tips and personal anecdotes.

The most important part of a wedding day is a detail that's often not given proper love: the vows. These are powerful words and writing them (along with wedding speeches and a personalized ceremony) can feel overwhelming for many of us which is why hiring a pro to coach you through the process and help you craft the perfect wedding script is a very smart idea. Brian Franklin is founder of Los Angeles-based Vows & Speeches a business he launched four years ago, and his superpower is making you sound amazing. "Getting help with writing your vows doesn't make it less personal, it's actually the opposite," Brian shares. On this show he chats with host Alison about what makes for the most meaningful wedding vows and why humour should be a key component of them. Brian also shares some wedding speech disaster stories, his process for working with clients and why rehearsing your wedding vows or speech to ensure a flawless delivery is the secret to public speaking success.
