Emma Arletta Talks Plus-Size Wedding Dress Shopping, Toxic Exes & Her Rolls-Royce Exit

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.
