    <title>The Vows &amp; Speeches Podcast</title>
    <description>What people say during their wedding vows, the ceremony, or in the wedding speeches can make or break the event. This podcast will focus on the writing and delivery of these moments and how to make them fun, highly-personalized, and memorable for the right reasons. Host and Co-Founder of Vows &amp; Speeches, Brian Franklin, will talk to wedding planners/designers, videographers, psychologists, and other pros—but also to couples, wedding party speakers, and guests about their good and bad experiences.
