How we write

Love & Money is the blog of Our Bridal Fund, a US wedding and honeymoon cash fund site. We write about the money side of weddings: cash and honeymoon funds, gift etiquette, budgets and what we’re building.

Who writes it

Posts are written by Lauren A. Jean, the pen name of Our Bridal Fund’s founder. We use a pen name to keep the founder’s private life private; everything else about the byline is real: one person writes and checks every post, and answers for it. Every post shows who wrote it and when it was published.

How we use AI

Some posts are drafted with the help of AI. A person edits every one of them and checks every fact before it’s published, and those posts say so at the end. We don’t publish AI-generated photos of people, and we never invent couples, quotes or reviews.

Facts and figures

Figures about our own service (our fee, when gifts are paid out) come from one shared list, so they’re the same everywhere on the site. Figures about anything else link to their source, with the date we checked it.

Dates and updates

A post’s date is the day it was published. We never backdate posts. When we change a post in a way that matters, it shows an “Updated” date and a “What changed” note.

Real couples

We only write about real couples, or link to their fund pages, with their written permission.

Partners and disclosures

If a post links to a business that pays us or that we pay, the post says so.
