OM DENNE EPISODE
Lauren Snead didn’t plan to work in weddings. Then a friend asked them to officiate. Today they’re a queer love celebrant and best-selling author who builds every ceremony out of long, honest conversations with the couple. Sebastian and Lauren talk about what goes into a ceremony that sounds like the two people getting married, and not like a template. They also cover the pressure the wedding industry puts on couples to follow the usual script, how Gen Z is choosing smaller and more adventurous celebrations, and the real difference between a vendor who is queer-friendly and one who is queer-affirming. Then the conversation turns personal: the emotional labor of correcting pronouns, why visibility for non-binary people is never a one-time thing, and why love deserves a bigger definition than romance. If you’ve ever planned a celebration that didn’t feel like yours, this one’s for you.
