Hoda Kotb<\/a> is looking ahead towards a possible wedding in her future.\n<\/p>\n

On the Dec. 11 episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna<\/em>,<\/a> Kotb and co-host Jenna Bush Hager<\/a> discussed the “micro-wedding” trend. Nearly three years after her split from her ex fianc\u00e9 Joel Schiffman, Kotb imagined the day she might walk down the aisle again.\n<\/p>\n

Kotb was married to Burzis Kanga for three years, from 2005 to 2008. She was then in a relationship with financier Joel Schiffman<\/a> for eight years, during three of which they were engaged.\n<\/p>\n

Bush Hager asked Kotb if she’d want a large or small wedding one day.\n<\/p>\n

“When that day comes, probably a small [wedding], yeah,” Kotb said.\n<\/p>\n

The question came up in the two co-hosts’s conversation on micro-weddings, a trend that is gaining speed due to the high costs associated with the occasion.\n<\/p>\n

Micro-weddings typically have a smaller guest list, generally just 10 to 30 people, Kotb said. The ongoing trend offers a more traditional approach than an elopement, according to BRIDES<\/a>, and creates a more intimate environment for the special day.\n<\/p>\n

“They’re growing in popularity because I think people don’t want to spend a ton of money on the party and then afterwards and then the bills,” Kotb said.\n<\/p>\n

But the challenge with micro-weddings, Kotb said, is that they’re virtually impossible with large families.\n<\/p>\n

Kotb revealed the celebration of her nuptials with Kanga was a destination wedding \u2014 “it wasn’t small but it wasn’t huge.”\n<\/p>\n

Schiffman and Kotb were engaged in November 2019, just months before the COVID-19 pandemic halted many in-person events. Thus, the pair delayed their wedding<\/a> multiple times before ultimately separating in January 2022<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

At the time, she imagined a beach wedding \u2014\u00a0where Schiffman proposed \u2014\u00a0but prior to their split, she said she was apprehensive of another destination wedding. She then shifted her sights to a smaller ceremony closer to New York City, again to accommodate restrictions and changing norms during the pandemic.\n<\/p>\n

After a brief three-date romance earlier this year \u2014 with a man that Bush Hager introduced her to \u2014 Kotb shared<\/a> she’s just looking for simplicity in her next partner.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
