He Said, She Said

We’re heading to the altar this week as Louise and Ryan plan their dream wedding! The pair recap their chaotic proposal story, they discuss what marriage ultimately means to them and answer the big question… why aren’t they married yet? Wedding planning then begins as Ryan reveals his aspirations of a wedding in the Swiss Alps, Louise ponders what a UK wedding might look like and the pair nail down outfits, food and of course – the stag and hen dos.  Send your voice memos or stories to hesaidshesaid@astridpodcasts.co.uk [hesaidshesaid@astridpodcasts.co.uk] for Louise and Ryan to address your dilemma on the show.

Things are a little different this week. Louise is back in hospital due to emergency surgery, so Ryan is here to share important updates and his side of the story.

Plus, Ryan dips into the mailbag to help with your dilemmas. He helps one listener who is struggling with their confidence, a listener who wants to be better at championing her partner, and finally, someone who needs guidance on settling down with the right person.  Send your voice memos or stories to hesaidshesaid@astridpodcasts.co.uk [hesaidshesaid@astridpodcasts.co.uk] for Louise and Ryan to address your dilemma on the show.
