00:04Hi y'all it's Yinka Birghini here and today I am sharing a diet coat break with blogger and
00:09journalist Katherine Omrod. After an established career in fashion journalism she launched her
00:13site Work Work Work in 2017 with an aim to reveal the truth behind social media. So we are in
00:20the
00:20thick of wedding season at the moment and obviously we are dressed for the occasion. How many weddings
00:25do you have this summer? So I've got another three but I've already had one. Oh my goodness. So and
00:30but
00:30that's nothing like one year I had 12. You have 12 friends in general that's that's mind blown. It
00:36was like this crazy crazy summer and by the end of it I was sleeping in a tent in like
00:41the car park
00:42because I had no more money left for the hotel. I was gonna say like don't you have to like
00:46buy your
00:47outfits of course you have to go and stay where they are wedding gifts engagement presents. I mean
00:52it's mad it's mad the amount of money you know you do all of that and then you don't get
00:56to go on
00:56your summer holiday so you have to really like your friends. You know we do complain about the
01:01hassle of spending money and you know getting there especially when it comes to booking hotels for
01:05weddings but you love going to them what is it about weddings that you love? I mean you know I
01:10can be
01:11in a city anywhere and see a wedding happen and it like absolutely touches my heart and I have like
01:17a
01:18moment of teariness and I don't even know these people. Are you one of those people like you know
01:22when you're on the bus and you see people taking wedding photos and it's like a tear you just cry?
01:26A little tear like my boyfriend has a lot like a lot of videos of me at other people's weddings
01:31just
01:32like that it's like his pet thing to do so there's a collection of Catherine tears through. I feel like
01:38you can come to my wedding just so at least one person cries you know what I mean because I
01:42thought it should be an emotional time and you are witnessing people bond in love you know. You know it's
01:46an
01:46amazing thing to make that commitment to each other to stand up in front of all your friends
01:50and however much we all say it's just a party and of course there is that but you know it's
01:56a big deal
01:56and it's you know pretty hard to get out of as well so you know everyone should celebrate that
02:02moment and it is a pure moment I think. I think that when it comes to hen do's and weddings
02:07there's
02:07a certain amount of you have to have care for people and you know their budgets because I got invited
02:14to a hen do which I you know politely declined because they wanted to go to a spa weekend and
02:18when I looked at the brochure it looked amazing massages hot stones you know rooms with steam
02:24yeah but it was it was 600 quid per person and I thought wow how are you going to afford
02:28a cake?
02:29Well quite I mean it's it's difficult isn't it because obviously you hope that you're only going
02:34to have one so you do want to make it special and I just think that really as with all
02:40these things
02:40it's all about communication and I think keep the the guest list small for a hen do you know make
02:46sure it's real intimate close friends so everyone can have a say to a certain extent obviously you
02:53can't have everyone happy. What song gets you up and dancing at a wedding? So I love 80s classics but
03:00my number one has to be Club Tropicana. Do you kick it off your shoes and dancing in the middle?
03:04Yeah drinks are free, fun and sunshine. What is it about the music that gets you going?
03:10I don't know it's just for that song it's the intro so you know maybe chatting by the bar
03:16then you hear it and you're like
03:17dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun like that you know. And you just wiggle along. Exactly make your
03:22way in um
03:23so yeah no I think you know any any song that people know the words to everyone kind of it's
03:29like the
03:30community spirit thing that you're all in it together like that's that's what you're looking
03:33it's all about the vibe isn't it. Because we've had such a lovely break yeah am I invited to your
03:38wedding? Well it depends how many people are coming if it's 500. Do you know what at least you're honest
03:43I thought you were going to say yeah but at least you're honest you know what can we do
03:46we love somebody who tells the truth thank you for joining me
