We’re sitting down with Adriana Brauckmann—host of The Pre Nup Podcast — to talk all things weddings, travel, and yes… flying fears. From destination weddings and honeymoon trends to the chaos of bachelor and bachelorette parties, this one’s packed with stories, laughs, and some seriously helpful insights if you’re planning a big trip (or a big day).

We also flip the script and let Adriana grill us as nervous-flyer passengers. We get into turbulence, airplane mode myths, overhead bin drama, and what’s actually going on behind the scenes at 35,000 feet. If you’ve ever had questions about flying—or wondered how to make your wedding unforgettable without going broke—you’re gonna want to hear this.
