    Jan 27 2026

    Welcome back to The Pre Nup, the podcast helping you plan your dream wedding without losing yourself in the process! This week, Adriana chats with Larry Walshe, the UK-based designer who's created some of the most iconic luxury weddings of the decade—and he's here to tell you why your inspiration should come from anywhere BUT other weddings.
