Love stories have a funny way of finding us when we’re not white-knuckling the steering wheel. Sometimes they meet us at a black-tie gala. And sometimes? They meet us mid-leg-day at the gym in Newcastle. Dani G—beauty influencer, wig designer, radiant human—met her now-husband Jack between sets and side glances. A familiar face. A casual “hi.” An Instagram follow. And just like that, the algorithm of fate did its thing.

There’s something so Weddings-ish about a love that simmers before it sizzles. Dani and Jack orbited each other for a while—gym regulars turned long conversationalists—before it officially became capital-D Dating. He says he knew from the moment he saw her that she was the one. (A rom-com line if I’ve ever heard one.) Dani, beautifully grounded, took the “let’s just see” approach. And somewhere between the reps and the DMs, they built something steady, close, and real.

The proposal? A return to Alicante, Spain—their first big holiday together. Sunset. Beach. “Let’s get some Instagram photos,” he says. (We love a supportive content king.) What she didn’t know was that months earlier, he had written down exactly what he wanted to say when he asked her to marry him. So there they are, back in a place that meant something, and suddenly he’s down on one knee. Dani describes it as out-of-body, surreal, hot, emotional—in the best way. The kind of moment where your brain says, “Is this real?” while your heart is already screaming yes.

Now, if you know Dani, you know her presence is powerful. She lives boldly and publicly with alopecia universalis—no hair, lashes, or brows—and has built a beauty career redefining what glam can look like. What began as sharing makeup transformations evolved into something bigger: representation, confidence, and permission. Permission to wear the wig. Permission to take it off. Permission to be seen exactly as you are. Her brand, her content, her energy—it all says the same thing: beauty is not one-size-fits-all.

So when it came to her wedding day in Crete (because sunshine was non-negotiable), there was one deeply intentional choice. Jack had always told her: if we get married, I want you walking down the aisle as you. The way we met. No wig. No hiding. Just you. And so she did. Bald, glowing, fully herself. As Savage Garden’s “Truly Madly Deeply” began to play, she was already in tears. He was in tears. Everyone was in tears. It wasn’t just an aisle moment—it was a this-is-us moment.

And because Dani is Dani, one look was simply not enough. Three outfits. Three vibes. Ceremony: beautifully bare and ethereal. Reception: blonde bombshell. Party: brunette glam with bounce and body. She kept her makeup consistent (she did it herself, of course—no one else was touching that face), but changed the hair to match the energy. Different alter egos, same woman. And isn’t that the magic? We contain multitudes. Bride is not a single aesthetic—it’s a spectrum.

What I love most is how intentional they were about presence. Yes, there was content. Yes, there were looks. But Dani made a conscious decision not to spend the whole night in a glam chair. She wanted to taste the food. Dance with her people. Hold Jack’s hand and actually remember it all. With 60 guests in Greece for five joy-soaked days, it was intimate, warm, and wildly them. No one sitting down. Everyone singing. A wedding that felt like a holiday and a holiday that felt like home.

If there’s advice to gather from Dani’s Weddings-ish story, it’s this: do what feels right for you—even if it’s unconventional. Especially if it’s unconventional. Whether that’s going wig-free down the aisle, wearing three dresses, traveling five hours for the perfect suit experience for your partner, or skipping the tiny details no one will remember—center yourselves. Your wedding is not a performance. It’s a declaration. And the most powerful thing you can wear on that day? Is yourself.
