In this episode of Chats with Cat - The Wedding Era, I sit down with one of my oldest friends and the definition of a powerhouse, Paulina. She is an award winning, nationally top ranked real estate agent selling tens of millions in real estate every year, and she is also an award winning writer and director whose debut film has screened at festivals around the world. And somehow, she still makes it all look effortless.

Paulina found her forever person young. She and Logan started dating on July 4, 2012, which means fireworks have been built into their anniversary ever since. We talk about what it really looks like to build a relationship over thirteen years, from that weird in between phase when you go from friends to something more, to growing up together, doing long distance at nineteen, and choosing each other through the hard seasons.

Then we get into the wedding story, including the engagement trip that was supposed to be Iceland until the universe rerouted everything to Harbor Island, plus what it was like planning a Hamptons backyard wedding in just seven weeks during COVID. We talk rehearsal dinner on the beach, a boat night with friends, a Bavarian brunch that honored Paulina’s German roots, live instruments layered over the DJ, late night pizza, and the little choices that turned their wedding into an all time party.

This episode is for anyone who believes friendship is the root of real love, anyone who is growing alongside their person, and any bride who wants a wedding that feels like pure joy.
