We've received so many questions over the season we decided to jump back in your ears and give you all the answers.

From dealing with feelings of overwhelm (when you thought you'd be excited) to what to do if you hate the ring.  We unpack a lot in this bonus episode. There's even a surprise cameo from Leish’s husband Rich.

So let’s get started...

You're officially married! Congratulations!!

It's time to pour yourself a drink and settle in for our final episode where Leish tackles all the things that happen after you've said: "I do."

Like whether you have to have sex on your wedding night?  Or if you can ask for money without sounding like a grabby douche.  Oh, and of course, the honeymoon.

You've sorted the ceremony and now it's time to partaaaayyyy!  But before the DJ starts pumping out the Grease Megamix there are a few things you need to consider.

Are you going to have a live band or are you just going to prepare a kick-arse Spotify playlist?  Who's going to do the speeches and do you have someone you can trust as the MC? Are you hiring a fancy car to get around or should you just get an Uber Black? 

Lucky Leish has all the tips and tricks to make sure this celebration is one to remember.

The bridal party is sorted, you’ve got the dress and now it’s time to talk about what happens when you walk down the aisle.

The wedding ceremony is the ‘main event’ and the reason you're planning a wedding in the first place but so often the details of the ceremony can be an afterthought.

So how do you personalise something that seems so traditional? How far in advance should you book a celebrant/minister/Rabbi/officiant? And how long should the whole thing run for? 30 minutes? An hour?

Well lucky for you, Leish has all the tips and she also speaks to wedding celebrant Josh Withers.

You’ve locked down your venue, sorted the dress and your budgeting skills are off the charts but how do you deal with the bridal party?

Maybe you've already decided Sonia from high school is going to be your Maid of Honour and cousin Georgie will be your bridesmaid. But what if you're feeling a bit bored by the whole bridal party thing? Or maybe you just want to rock this party solo? 

Well, good news!  You don’t need them because, as Leish explains, it’s time we moved away from the traditional idea of the bridal party and embraced the new world order.

It’s an exciting time to be a bride, friends...

You’ve got the guest list sorted, you've found the dress but where are you going to have this thing?

Your choice of wedding venue will have a massive impact on the vibe of the day so you need to get it right.  

Do you want to have the ceremony and the party at the same place?  Are you going to self-cater or let the professionals handle everything? And what about grog?  Flowers?  Transport? 

There's so much to think about it. 

Lucky Leish is here to help...

The venue is sorted, the guest list is done and now it's time to work out what you're wearing!

How do you find a dress without blowing your budget?  What if you're not really a makeup person?  And how do you find underwear that's sexy but that won't be riding up your bum?

If you're freaking out, stop!  Because Leish has got you covered.

This episode is full of tips on how to get a beautiful wedding dress for less, how to overcome the problem of hitting the dance floor in stilettos and how to make sure you get the right make up for your big day.

Because let's be honest, the most underrated word when it comes to bridal attire is...COMFORT.

So you’ve set the date, you’ve worked out whether to go solo or hire a wedding planner and now it’s time for the tough bit...choosing who to invite.

Setting clear goals and guidelines around your guest list is going to make your life so much easier and Aleisha is here to tell you how to do it.

From making an A and B list, to saying no to obligation guests, this episode will have you cutting those pesky third cousins out quicker than you can say “pesky third cousin.”

Because let’s be honest, who wants to meet someone for the first time on their wedding day? Not you!

You’ve got the whole money thing sorted, but how do you actually put this event together?

On this week's episode we break down why hiring a wedding planner or coordinator can save you money and time.  Especially if you aren’t that jazzed about all of the tiny little details that go into making your special day happen.

Like organising chairs...or making sure someone is onhand when Aunty Beryl realises you're not getting married in a church and has a panic attack.

Leish is here to break down the difference between wedding planners and coordinators so you can work out which one is right for you or whether you're going to bite the bullet and go DIY.

Now you’ve gotten the engagement out of the way, how do you plan your dream wedding without having to sell an organ to pay for it?  Does using the word "wedding" really make a quote three times higher?  And how do you keep those family members or ‘wedding donors’ from trying to take control in exchange for their generosity?

There's no denying weddings are expensive and it's easy to feel pressure to spend way more than you can afford.  But is a wedding any better if it's four times the price or should you worry more about staying out of debt so you can start your new life on the right foot?

There's nothing uncool about sticking to a budget and in this episode of Hitched we're here to help you ditch perfection and stick to your budget.

Congratulations! You’re engaged!

Now that you've got a ring on it and you've made the big announcement on Instagram, where do you go from here?  What's the first thing you need to put on the to-do list?  And what can you start planning now that means you won't be pulling your hair out later?

In this episode of Hitched we look at how to set yourself up for wedding planning success before you've even started.  From having the all-important "How much do we REALLY want to spend" conversation with your partner to working out whether those dreams of getting married on top of the Harbour Bridge are realistic.

Planning a wedding can be stressful, which is why we're here to help.

So cool your jets, put your credit card away and take a deep breath. 

You've got this.
