Brooke's neighbor Nancy stops by to tell the gals all about her wedding. Details include: a long distance romance that caused her to upgrade her cell phone's data plan, finding a dress that doesn't make her feel like a cupcake, and an interesting pronunciation of the word "chuppah."
We also dive into listeners' submitted confessionals about holding RSVP-related grudges, the rules for late gifting wedding presents, and how to include step-parents into a ceremony without it feeling weird or forced.
If you like unlimited texting plans or step-dad awkwardness, this episode is for you!

SHOW NOTES:
Nancy's cake (which she had to keep making bigger and bigger!) was from Hansen's Cakes in Tarzana, CA.
