You only get one just-engaged era. Iris handles what's next so you can actually enjoy it. Iris is the only wedding checklist that pays attention — to your dates, your saves, and every detail you tell her. KNOWS WHAT'S NEXT — AND HOW No 200-item lists on day one. Iris shows the next few things to do, timed to your dates — even if your answer is "sometime in fall 2027." Every task opens into real guidance: what to ask, what things cost, what to watch out for. YOUR SAVES BECOME YOUR PLAN Share anything from TikTok, Instagram, or Pinterest straight to Iris. She reads it, tags it, and notices what you keep coming back to — then suggests the next step that matches. "You've saved 5 garden and outdoor posts — worth touring venues that live outside." SHE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING Which venue offered October 10th. Who quoted what. When the tour is. Paste any vendor email into the chat and Iris files every detail — then just ask her. She keeps track of your whole engagement so you don't have to. Start with your date (or your best guess). Iris takes it from there. Iris offers auto-renewable subscriptions: • Iris Yearly — $49.99/year (intro offer: $24.99 your first year) • Iris Weekly — $7.99/week Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
