The new Netflix original series Marriage or Mortgage is a reality show romp through Nashville, Tennessee that gives 10 couples the choice of spending their savings, up to $35,000, on either a fairytale wedding or dream home (via Time). Each pair meets with Nashville-based real estate agent Nichole Holmes and wedding planner Sarah Miller to help them make just one of these dreams a reality.

Who are Sarah Miller and Nichole Holmes?

Raised in Atlanta, Sarah Miller is now a Nashville-based event planner who founded Southern Vine & Co., which is described on its website as "a full-service interior design and event planning company, specializing in lovely luxury for homes, weddings and events." She has worked as an event planner for 20 years, according to Women's Health, and she told she's a traditionalist who believes marriage should be a priority. "It should come first," she said. "I was offered the same thing when I got married 10 years ago and I chose the wedding. We've taken the steps from then to purchase a house and have kids. Houses come and go, but a wedding is supposed to be one time."

On her company's website, she notes that she enjoys getting to know her clients when planning a wedding so she can design the event around their unique personalities. "I believe each and every one of us are given a unique talent — making things beautiful is where mine fell into place," she adds.

Nichole Holmes is a real estate agent based in Nashville, Tennessee, which is where Marriage or Mortgage is based, Decider cites. Her realty company, Parks at Home, primarily specializes in luxury real estate in the Nashville area. Twice-divorced Nichole has a different view of things than Sarah and thinks that a home is a more practical, and sometimes longer-lasting, investment in your happiness than a wedding.

According to Distractify, Sarah Miller and Nichole Holmes were only acquaintances before filming the Netflix series, but they quickly bonded. Miller shared a photo on Instagram of the two celebrating the show's hiatus from filming, writing, "Two red heads just starting out as acquaintances to a friendship growing stronger everyday."

Marriage or Mortgage was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic

"Whatever the couples decided, it ran back into 2020," Sarah says. "So, if they chose wedding, of course we had to fulfill the wedding, and if they chose home, they moved into their homes."

But even if guest lists had to be reduced and other safety precautions taken, Sarah says the couples who opted to have a wedding still saw a lot of their dreams come to life. "I mean, especially nowadays—which I think is amazing—there's protocols that have to be taken to even have a larger wedding," she notes. "...Every single vendor had to follow protocols—masks, sanitizing, all of that kind of stuff. Safety was first, 100 percent."

On the real estate side, Nichole says buying homes stayed relevant throughout 2020, as cited by Women's Health. "Interest rates are still super low, so people are still very much interested in buying houses. In fact, we don’t have much inventory," she explains. "We can’t keep up right now since we don’t have that inventory on the market." But, when it came to how she showed homes, she had to switch things up: "We just had to do it much more carefully."
