Brian Franklin, co-founder of Vows & Speeches, joined host Rick Steiner on the Luxe Life Discovered Podcast on 30A.TV to answer the question behind the episode’s title: what exactly is a “Wedding Ringer”? They get into how a professional speechwriter ended up in the wedding industry, what writing and delivery coaching for vows, speeches, toasts, and ceremonies actually looks like, and Brian’s first book in progress, Engaged: Things I Learned About Love by Interviewing Engaged Couples and Their Wedding Party Speakers.
This was a fun one. We covered a lot of ground — why the vows and the speeches are the moments people actually remember from a wedding, why winging it is the cardinal sin, and what I’ve learned about love from interviewing engaged couples and their wedding party speakers for a living. It’s the same prepared-not-winged philosophy I talked through with Conan O’Brien on his podcast.
