Hue I Do Podcast: From Fiancee to Forever
Hue I Do is the podcast that gets you down the aisle without trippin’. Because truthfully, wedding planning is way more than picking out a dress and tasting cake — there are physical, mental, and financial stressors that come along with it. And there’s so much more once you’ve become someone’s wife. Hosts and best friends Ashleigh Coffie and Toniah Paryo Gray know exactly what you’re going through, having recently planned their own weddings. Listen to Hue I Do every Wednesday for relatable stories, supportive guidance, and a touch of humor to help you through every step of your wedding planning journey and beyond.

This episode came together because Ashleigh stumbled across a wedding website that was created in 2001. She reached out to who was the bride-to-be and what became of that was a great hour of conversation with Mrs. Kristea Cancel. We went back in time to revisit her wedding planning and wedding day and had a great conversation just about how things have changed in the last 20+ years. This was a good talk! Hope you enjoy!

Harry Belafonte was an acclaimed vocalist, actor, and activist. Since his passing on April 25, 2023, many have given their tributes and shared fond memories about Mr. Belafonte. When most reflect on his life, they see the successes… but fail to remember how a lot of this came at the expense of his family. Today, we’re going to look at Mr. Harry Belafonte in a different lens where we examine his closest relationships, marriages, and family.

We really just turned a TikTok video series into a full-fledged podcast. Girl! We did it, Joe!
To celebrate the inaugural Aisle Tell You What podcast episode (you have to go to YouTube for the visual version), I am giving you an episode y'all have requested many many times: the story of Sam Cooke + Bobby Womack. But let's go further than that -- let's just talk about the Cookes and the Womacks because these two families go together real bad.
But you tell me what you think: about this story but also about the first episode! And share it out, Aisle Runners/Aislanders (the name is still TBD, by the way.)

The girls want more than just a wedding gown now -- the wedding wardrobe now consists of the look for the engagement party, engagement session, bridal shower, bachelorette trip, rehearsal dinner, getting ready, and the reception. We brought back one of our fave friendors Dara Adams with Veil by Dara Adams to help us figure out how to find these looks with or without a stylist, how to repurpose what we already have, creating our own original bridal style, and so much more.

For some, handling a lot of the decor and elements of the wedding yourself is not because you have control issues but because you want to be smart with your wedding budget. That's exactly why 2022 DIY bride Markee Williamson DIYed at least 90% of her wedding. She explains to us why, how she did it, what projects she took on, and what she'd do differently if she had more time. This is a great listen!

You've asked us to help you with your wedding registry so we reached out to Melissa Trentadue at Zola to help us out. If you're in the Zola community, you are very familiar with Melissa. She gave us a lot of great information on how to build a registry from when to start, how many items do we need, and how expensive should our items be. And if you're married, we discuss how you can still use/build a registry long after your wedding is over. Listen up!

We've heard of destination weddings and we've heard of Nigerian weddings but what about a Nigerian-Jamaican wedding in Cancun? Danielle's wedding last year was one that would inspire us all. She tells us how planning was, if she stayed in budget, what she would do differently knowing what she knows now, and a lot more. This is a great one, especially for the desti dolls!

We once asked why do all Black weddings look the same and when we said "the same", we really meant this glam aesthetic. But we wanted to talk about it because it IS the wedding aesthetic that is commonly associated with Black weddings. We wanted to hear from two wedding planners, Christie "Niq" Williams of Niq Williams Events and Christy Record of Swank Soiree, their thoughts on what they believe actually makes a glam wedding. We're discussing everything -- budget, vendor types, DIY, location, and more.
We also asked our Hue Boos (fiancees, wedding vendors, newlyweds, and more) their thoughts on glam weddings, too. You can read all about that here.
