Wedding Prep Has Gone Too Far

This week in the House, we’re talking about the pressure cooker that is modern wedding prep — and how quickly “I just want to feel my best” can spiral into “Who even am I anymore?”From the narrative that this is “the most beautiful you’ll ever look” (hard no), to the slippery slope of lasers, injectables, skin treatments, extreme routines, and shrinking yourself for photos… we’re unpacking where it all starts to go too far.We talk about the pressure to look perfect, the temptation to “fix” things that were never problems, the financial and emotional cost of doing just one more thing, and how wedding planning can quietly become rooted in fear instead of intention.Gio shares what she actually did (and didn’t do) before her wedding — and what she’s so glad she didn’t obsess over. Katy opens up about the mental weight of planning, the absurdity of being asked “how’s wedding planning?” while holding a literal baby, and the reminder that life is happening around the wedding.Because here’s the truth:You don’t need to earn your beauty on your wedding day.The goal isn’t perfection — it’s presence.You want to look back and think, that was me.Looking good, feeling good, not spiralingFollow Gio Ingletto: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gioingletto/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gioingletto Follow Kat Filpi:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katfilpi/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@katfilpi
