  Plus-Size Model Emma Arletta on Body Positivity, Bridal Fashion & Her Oklahoma Wedding

  Aug 6, 20261h 13m

  This week on Weddings-ish, Jove sits down with content creator, model, and newlywed Emma Arletta for a candid conversation about love, plus-size bridal fashion, and building a wedding that actually reflects you. Emma opens up about her slow-burn love story with husband Kelton (including the Hinge left-swipe he tried to hide for years), leaving a toxic relationship, and navigating a cross-country long-distance stretch before their Oklahoma wedding day. She also traces her path from speech therapy to viral TikTok star and full-time content creator advocating for size inclusivity in fashion and bridal. The two dig deep into wedding planning highlights, including: Private vows over coffee instead of a public ceremony A runway-style processional with a wheelchair-spin entrance A surprise gospel choir performance embedded in the crowd Matching her wedding dress to her cake (by accident) A red-carpet-style paparazzi grand exit in a vintage Rolls-Royce Why she believes every couple should splurge on a wedding planner Emma also shares the story behind launching her own inclusive bridal line, designed to fill the gaps she experienced while planning her own wedding — from getting-ready robes to rehearsal dinner looks, sized 10 to 32. Plus, in this episode's Ask Jove segment, Jove and guest co-host Sloane tackle a listener question about navigating traditional wedding expectations as a queer couple — and why writing your own rules is a gift, not a compromise.

  Coming Out in a Persian Family, Getting Married in Oaxaca | Alix Trager & Zoya Royan

  Jun 25, 20261h 7m

  Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove! Today Jove is joined in studio by Alix Trager and Zoya Royan — newlyweds, content creators, and one of the most magnetic couples on the internet. Alix is the Persian-American creator known as "the internet's fruit peeler" whose viral videos have racked up tens of millions of views. Zoya is the author behind the free coming-out e-book It's Not a Big Deal, written for anyone navigating queer identity within a cultural or religious family. Together they share everything: from a Hinge prompt about orange wine, to a breakup at Wisdom Tree, to a three-day destination wedding in Oaxaca that wove Persian tradition and Mexican culture into something entirely their own. They get candid about coming out later in life, the healing work that had to happen before either of them was ready for real love, and what shifting your energy actually looks like in practice. Then: every detail of the wedding. A Oaxaca celebration timed to Día de los Muertos. A Persian wishing well seating chart honoring loved ones who had passed. Laser-printed menus on fresh flour tortillas. A suit made from actual vintage Persian rug fragments. And a Persian knife dance Alix reclaimed — ending with her father as the final surprise. In this episode: - Coming out as a Persian woman and the decade of living a double life before telling family - The Hinge match over orange wine that neither of them actually loves - The Wisdom Tree breakup — and what happened when Alix came back down the mountain - A three-day destination wedding in Oaxaca timed to Día de los Muertos - Laser-printed menus on fresh flour tortillas, printed on-site the hour before dinner - A wedding suit made from actual vintage Persian rug fragments - Reclaiming the Persian knife dance — and the surprise final dancer - Anxious-avoidant attachment, healing in isolation vs. in relationship, and letting go Whether you're here for the love story, the wedding inspo, or proof that letting go at the top of a mountain can change everything — this one is for you.

  Losing His Sight, Finding His Person & Laughing Through All of It | Matthew & Paul Castle

  Jun 11, 20261h 7m

  Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove! Today Jove is joined by Matthew and Paul Castle — the couple the internet fell completely in love with — right on their ten-year anniversary. From matching on Grindr across the US-Canada border, to an immigration attorney accidentally moving them in together three months into dating, to a rooftop wedding in a tiny Mexican fishing village with a 12-piece mariachi band they specifically said they didn't want — Matthew and Paul share every detail. They take us inside their December 2019 wedding at Casa Arco Iris — the rooftop bed and breakfast in Sayulita run by a gay couple who became their unofficial wedding planners, the rainbow-tiled infinity pool, and why they originally planned zero photos, zero music, and zero fuss. Plus what actually happened: a last-minute photographer they now regret, and an all-female mariachi band that filled every inch of the rooftop and sang their hearts out despite Matthew's very specific ""no singing"" request. They also get candid about Paul's retinitis pigmentosa — the genetic condition that has taken 95% of his vision — the emotional TikTok Matthew posted about grieving that loss, and how a procreate tablet brought illustration back into Paul's life and sparked a children's book series now six books deep. In this episode: - Matching on Grindr across the US-Canada border and the first date that was secretly a violin lesson and a painting class - How a border guard's comment led to an immigration attorney and an accidental move-in — three months into dating - The rooftop wedding at Casa Arco Iris in Sayulita, Mexico - The 12-piece mariachi band they did not request (who sang anyway) - Paul's retinitis pigmentosa diagnosis and what vision loss actually looks like - How the pandemic sent two broke artists to TikTok — and the video that went viral - The Pan Grooms children's book series, six books in and self-published - Real love advice at the ten-year mark Whether you're here for the love story, the wedding inspo, or just to be reminded that the best relationships are full of laughter and the occasional uninvited mariachi band — this one's for you.
