Brian Franklin on The Wedding Reporter Podcast
Brian joined The Wedding Reporter Podcast — hosted by Nashville Bride Guide — for a conversation on writing wedding vows and speeches that actually land: beating the nerves, why couples procrastinate, and the roles of personalization, humor, brevity, and (a little) AI.
It’s one of my favorite topics. The vows and the speeches are the moments people actually remember from a wedding, yet they’re the parts couples most often leave to the last minute or hand off with no guidance. On the episode I got into what makes the difference: start from real stories, keep it short, use humor in service of sincerity, and rehearse out loud so you’re not reading off your phone. It’s the same approach I brought to Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend — and the reason we don’t use AI to write any of it at Vows & Speeches.
