Sorry for getting Nickleback stuck in your head, we know, we're wrong for that! It's been a while since we got down and dirty with some drama filled wedding stories, but we're back better than ever this week! We start off this episode with some honest discussion on reliving your wedding day through photos and videos, and how it's okay to feel disappointed sometimes. We're covering crazy vendor stories this week, mostly focusing on photographers! From a hungry photographer deleting all the images after not being fed, a couple who is not a fan of black and white filters, to why getting Kybella before your engagement photos is sometimes a good idea...we cover it all! 

This Week (against our better judgement) we are drinking: AMF

Life is stressful and we could use some good news, can we get an Amen? After a month of all thinks dark and spooky, we needed our faith in humanity restored! We've found some super sweet stories of serendipitous encounters, a couple that walked down the isle twice 20 years apart, family traditions that led to the marriage of a clay pot, and why Courtney has no regrets in her love of Uber Pool after hearing how it brought one couple together! While we are all about spilling the tea, this week is more about drinking said tea curled up on the couch with sweatpants and a messy bun! Sit back, relax, and tune in for some exciting updates Megan shares of new platforms you can reach us at!

Calling all Crime Junkies! As we come to an end in our spooky series, we wrap up this week with chilling true crime wedding stories! We uncover 4 tales that involve murder, stalking, a woman who married a man on America's Most Wanted List, and another who married a prison inmate! We do want to add a disclaimer that this is not an episode for the faint of heart, and does involve disturbing stories involving SA and DV. If true crime is not your vibe, we will be back with our regular scheduled program next week! Our hearts are with the victims from the stories this week, in honor of Gladys Ricart we have included a link to next year's bridal march against domestic violence.

You know what they say about the number 13, and wow the people in this week's stories were no exception to serious misfortunes! We're breaking down our favorite ghost stories as we continue our spooky series for the month of October! Megan shares a few creepy experiences, and we break down a chilling childhood photo Courtney still can't get over! This week's episode includes a crazy tradition of weddings in the after life, a groom who marries his bride's sister after the bride dies at the altar, and the divorce of a 300 year old ghost pirate named Jack! And as if that wasn't scary enough for you, we end this week with a different interpretation of "ghost" as we cover a bride left at the altar hours before the wedding! Listeners beware, you're in for a scare (cue Goosebumps music)! 

This week we're drinking: The Black Widow (because tbh all the ghost cocktails have cream and the aftermath of that mixture is scarier than this episode)

In our second spooky episode of the month we're covering bone chilling wedding tales! To start us off, we're sharing some of our favorite Halloween costumes from the past, and recanting how embarrassing parents can be this time of year! Megan shares a ghost story involving a haunted wedding dress, and why playing hide and seek may not be the best wedding day past time. Courtney reminds us that exes do not belong on the wedding guest list, and to never accept stuffed animals from anyone other than your grandmother! We end this week with a tale that has left us so baffled we're packing our bags and heading to Mexico to investigate! Is there truly a corpse mannequin at a bridal shop in Chihuahua?? We'll let you be the judge...

Ladies and Gentlemen, spooky season is upon us! For the month of October we will be featuring stories even scarier than your crazy mother in law as we embark on mysteries, ghosts, true crime and more! In our first episode of the month, we're covering a story that surprisingly has gone under the radar. In 2015 a group of Hollywood's Elite take a trip to Bora Bora to celebrate the marriage of America's Sweetheart, Jeniffer Aniston. The trip is off to a great start...until one of the guests goes missing...

We'd like to dedicate this episode to Carmel Musgrove, she was a young talented individual with much promise in the movie business, we hope this story can shine a light on her short but vibrant life.

What's the best way to save on a wedding dress....? Not to wear one at all! This week's episode originated from a story that truly blew our mind. What would you do if the dream wedding you planned ended up being on a nude beach and you couldn't change your venue?  We cover this story and many more including streakers at weddings, naked dating shows and a tumultuous situation a photographer is faced with! Listen in as we bare it all....metaphorically speaking of course!

This Week We're Drinking: The Naked Man! And it's Legen....wait for it....Dary!

We have our first special guest joining us, Mama Lori has joined the chat!! This week we are covering some of the wildest stories and wedding themes we've ever seen, and we would advise not listening while eating, trust us! Megan takes us down a rabbit hole of wedding themes and even shares some "super" exciting wedding ideas of her own. We discuss if Storm Troopers should be allowed at your wedding reception, Gollum Nipple Pasties, dancing with a serial killer, and most importantly DO NOT go on a weird diet right before your wedding day!
