Episode 37: Wedding Spending and Saving

In this episode of Adriana Talks Dinero, Adriana shares a more personal look into her wedding planning journey and how she is approaching it through a financial, cultural, and intentional lens.

Adriana walks through how she and her partner have made conscious decisions to celebrate without going into debt, stay aligned with their values, and create a meaningful experience for their community.
