1. The Hook

Joyful Love Celebrations For Sentimental, Fun-Loving & Beautifully Non-Traditional Folks.

Podcast intro bio (ready to read aloud):

Lauren Snead (they/them) is an award-winning Love Celebrant and #1 Amazon bestselling author with nearly 20 years of experience creating and officiating joyful love celebrations for sentimental, fun-loving, and beautifully non-traditional folks. Rooted in Northern California (happy to travel), Lauren has helped hundreds of couples move from performing, proving, and people-pleasing into feeling deeply connected, seen, and celebrated for exactly who they are… on their wedding day and beyond. For a lot of people, especially queer, trans and beautifully non-traditional folks, a wedding ceremony is the first time the world has been asked to gather, witness, and celebrate the full truth of who they are. Lauren guides that moment with warmth, tenderness, and a spark of playful mischief. Their book, Joyful Love Celebrations, is a warm invitation into creating a ceremony that feels wildly, truly and cosmically yours.
