We're back & better than ever for season 3 (can you believe it??)! After some relaxing time off, we had so much to cover this week! Megan shares the latest updates with wedding planning organizing the year; Courtney is on a wellness kick & like anyone that does dry January, she goes on and on as a reminder that she's doing it! So much happened over the last few weeks that we mainly focused on pop culture updates & some trends on their way in and on their way out! We discuss Jenna Marbles & Ashely Olsen's recent nuptials, JLO's next wedding movie, Madi Prewett's wedding cost breakdown & why we think too much color at weddings might be a bad idea. We have so many exciting things to discuss this year, let's get that white grape juice poppin', cheers!!

We're not sure where the time has gone, but Christmas is nearly a week away!! Courtney shares another DIY, but this one is much less painstaking & great for a fun date night! Megan has margaritas on the mind, and this week's cocktail doesn't disappoint! Before jumping into this week's holiday themed stories, we must discuss the TLC King who got engaged over the past week!! All in favor for a "Randy In Love" reality show documenting his wedding planning say "I"!!! This week we're in full blown holiday spirit as we share a variety of weddings and engagements from this time of year!This week's stories include a surprise christmas pub crawl wedding, a dog who ate his mom's passport before a holiday wedding event & a sister in law that's mad she received items off of her wedding registry for Christmas?? Wishing all our listeners a very very Merry Christmas, XOXO!!

It's one of those week's where too much is going on in the world to choose just one topic! Courtney starts us off with her DIY from hell & Megan shares some holiday festivities she's looking forward to! We have a cocktail so sweet this week, it could turn any Grinch into Clark Griswold with just two sips! Our first story this week is a dream for us all, can you imagine winning the lottery two weeks before your wedding?? Speaking of winning the lottery - what if you miraculously got Taylor Swift tickets only for your cousin to announce you are gifting them to his bride at their wedding?? From unconventional wedding venues, like the grocery store or tower of terror...this week has a little bit of everything!

The holidays are upon us, but why are we in our true crime era?? We can't stop talking about the Idaho 4 & discuss the newly released Casey Anthony docuseries! While the holidays are an exciting time, they can definitely be financially exhausting. This week we're featuring some couples who couldn't be bothered with costs, debt or financial stress - we're talking about the cheapskates! An Australian couple hosts a $100 wedding, a bride opts for two dresses instead of enough food for her guests & one wedding attendee gives us a full breakdown on the reality of a pot luck wedding...spoiler alert you cannot have your cake and eat it too!

This week we're drinking....the Cuba Libre!

It's Thanksgiving week & we have a lot to be thankful for! We share our holiday plans and have a very important discussion on which Thanksgiving foods are the best (it's all gravy baby!!) Megan shares why November is the luckiest month of the year to get married & Courtney gets us up to date on pop culture news with Love is Blind Drama, medieval engagement rings & two American "royal" weddings! We're back to our bread and butter (no pun intended) this week with drama filled reddit stories! We have crazy cousins who caused 40K in damage at a wedding, a bride who pisses off family for wearing white & a mother of the bride who won't come if her dog cannot attend...(honestly respect to the last one). Wether you're thankful these stories aren't your own, or are thankful you're not the only one with a wild family, grab that gravy bowl & douse that dinner roll - we're leaving you "full" this week with the family drama!!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know Taylor Swift's concert ticket sales began yesterday! While the world was sitting in a never ending queue and looking in couch cushions for spare change, we came across a story that brought us to this week's theme! Upon Taylor announcing her concert dates, at least 2 brides have had their wedding room blocks canceled or triple in price! It got us thinking about how high profile events and concerts effect weddings & if guests have ever chosen a concert over their best friend's wedding. Spoiler Alert...the answer is yes!! Tune in to find out who deems Lizzo & Adele more worry than a wedding, what band included on stage weddings as part of their 2012 tour & which artist officiated a fan's wedding last week! Good luck to all those Swifties out there!

As this year comes to and end, our schedules have been insane! Megan has been living out of a suitcase & because of all her traveling has caught every cold under the sun! Courtney is moving and feels like her life is a mess...which you know as a Virgo is not ideal. We catch you up on all that we've been tackling the past few weeks, as well as catch up on several bachelor couple weddings! When Megan was in the Florida Keys, she heard the story of the original corpse bride! While disturbing & unsettling, it is by far one of the craziest stories we've ever discussed on the Pod!!! Speaking of "pods", getting into this week's episode we are breaking down Love is Blind Season 3. Since we didn't do weekly recaps this season, we had A LOT to say! We know these shows are strategically edited & produced, so while we take strong stances on some of the issues that went down, we know there are always two sides to the story. Season 3 definitely redeemed the franchise from the dumpster fire that was Season 2, we need an After the Altar episode ASAP!! We hope by not having an episode last week you saved your "appetito" for some juicy gossip! Cheers!

We're back with another scary episode this week & we're recapping our trip to New Orleans! We took the podcast on the field this past week, finding some stories for you in real time on ghost tours throughout the city! There's no better place to get some spooky inspiration than New Orleans that's for sure! From ghosts, witches, vampires & haunted hotels - NOLA certainly does not discriminate when it comes to the supernatural! Feeling inspired from some of these haunting locations and stories, we're also sharing other locations in the US that you can book as a haunted wedding venue or maybe your next travel destination to see a ghost bride?? Listen if you dare!
