Mekanism’s new commercial with Zola comes out just in time for engagement season (which kicks off on Thanksgiving) and will air nationally on linear and streaming.

The campaign, called 'No Regrets,' is about how wedding planning has become more stressful than commitment. Dreamy wedding inspiration is everywhere from Instagram to 11 spinoffs of Say Yes To The Dress. But we’ve lost touch with what matters - the couple.

This commercial is a humorous take on how Zola does put the couple first. Every wedding is beautiful, but Zola has helped over one million couples have an easy and stress-free planning experience.

Zola and Mekanism shot three weddings in one day. They show three couples who all appear to be reciting their vows but instead are stating regrets from their wedding planning, resulting in hiccups that Zola could have helped avoid.

Zola also has a corresponding NYC subway campaign.
