The Truth About Prenups: What Every Couple Needs to Know Before Saying 'I Do'

The Pre Nup: A Wedding Planning Podcast

In this episode, host Adriana is joined by attorney Nicole Noonan, affectionately known as the “Divorce Fairy Godmother,” to tackle everything you didn’t know you needed to about prenups, postnups, and the dreaded “dirty D-word”—divorce. While these topics may not feel glamorous, Nicole reframes the conversation, showing how these agreements are actually acts of love and planning for a secure future.
Nicole shares real-life stories about the surprising things couples fight over, from airline miles to family farms, and explains why having a prenup is like wearing a seatbelt—you don’t plan to crash, but it’s better to be prepared. Adriana and Nicole also dive into postnups, estate planning, and how to approach tricky conversations with your partner while keeping the romance alive.
