Here Comes the Drama with Christa Innis

15: Family Feuds, Bridal Boundaries & Wedding FAQs: With Cora Lakey


Listen Later

Would you risk a lifelong friendship over a wedding rule? Cora Lakey did—and it went viral. In this episode, Christa chats with Cora about the controversial wedding FAQ that lit up the internet, the truth behind her no plus-one policy, and why people still struggle with brides having boundaries.

They also dive into how social media shapes public opinion, how post-COVID relationships shifted weddings, and why guests sometimes act like the event is about them.

If you've ever been labeled a "bridezilla" for setting standards, this conversation is the validation you've been waiting for.
