  Why Peloton's Matty Maggiacomo Didn't Speak to His Husband for a Week Before Their Wedding

  Sep 17, 20261h 18m

  Peloton instructor Matty Maggiacomo and his husband Evan join Weddings-ish with Jove to tell the story of their relationship — a dating app match right as COVID hit, months of long-distance FaceTimes, and a proposal on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Matty and Evan get honest about the real cost of a wedding: they started planning a 150–200 person blowout upstate before scaling all the way down to 60 guests in Central Park — and why neither of them regrets it. They also break down their custom wedding fashion (a Tom Ford-inspired coat and a bespoke Brooklyn-made suit), the surprising reason they went a full week without speaking before the ceremony, and how PBS NewsHour co-anchor Amna Nawaz ended up officiating their wedding. Plus: Matty's path from local news reporter to Peloton instructor, and why Evan took Matty's last name. Topics covered: - Meeting on a dating app at the start of the pandemic - Long-distance dating during COVID lockdown - The Met rooftop proposal - Cutting a wedding from 200 guests to 60 - Custom-made wedding fashion vs. designer labels - Skipping the "first look" tradition - Amna Nawaz officiating their ceremony - Taking your husband's last name If you liked this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Amazon, Apple Podcasts, or here on Love Stories TV’s YouTube channel.

  Plus-Size Model Emma Arletta on Body Positivity, Bridal Fashion & Her Oklahoma Wedding

  Aug 6, 20261h 13m

  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.
