“What a buzz! I loved it even more than I thought I would, and cannot wait for the next one. How good is love?”

“It is just so joyful, especially in a time where there is a lot of negativity around being a part of such a happy day for people is just awesome,” she said.

“It is full on, like a full on course of 750 hours of study. It is a big commitment.

“They needed to regulate the industry a bit so it became quite a hefty course and it is not something you take on lightly.”

She continued: “A lot of it is legal studies because marriage is a serious commitment so now it is just about building the business I guess, which will be fun.”
