we are in the engaged era and in the initial stages of wedding planning and OOF - we are stressed. in this very vulnerable tell ALL episode, we are talking about the behind the scenes of wedding planning. no one tells you about the financial stressors, societal and familial pressures and expectations on what it's supposed to look like, who NOT to invite and if we even have a say over that, and so much more when it comes to these very glamorized wedding events. buckle in because this is a good one!
