Abstract

Bridechilla x Somewhere on Earth - Episode 2

What happens when Bridechilla meets Somewhere on Earth? Tech, tradition, and a touch of tulle collide in the second of two special crossover episodes, exploring how technology is transforming weddings around the world.

In Episode 2, hosts Gareth Mitchell and Leah Haslage dive into intimacy tech, virtual reality ceremonies and even hologram guests with award-winning body-tech pioneer and regular Somewhere on Earth studio expert Professor Ghislaine Boddington. You’ll hear how today’s weddings are blending real-world love with digital innovation - from heartbeat-sharing smart rings to 360° livestreamed vows, and NFT wedding certificates in the metaverse.

Plus, a special field report from India with Somewhere on Earth studio expert Chhavi Sachdev, revealing how the wedding tech boom is revolutionizing big fat Indian weddings.

The show is presented by Leah Haslage and Gareth Mitchell.
