After Kiki and Ian experienced a number of wedding-day setbacks, they reflect on the different ways they've made peace with -- and, in some cases, come to love -- the unplanned aspects of their wedding. NOTE: this podcast discusses menstruation. You are probably fine with that. I am too. Carry on.

During Episode 5, we hear from Sunita Deshpande, who wrote and starred in A Sari for Pallavi, a short play that features two cousins getting ready for a wedding.

(Also, we apologize that this episode is coming out on Thursday rather than Tuesday. We wanted to make sure we gave this episode all of the attention it deserved, which meant we had to release a little later. Forgive us!)

After all of this talk of others' weddings, I was wondering how Kris is feeling about her planning process. During this episode, Kris fills us in on her progress. We talk about the pressure to look thin in a wedding dress, the double-edged sword of getting advice from loved ones, and the perils of having only one tissue for two sisters at a wedding. Join us for Episode 4!

Planning a wedding is hard for most couples, but it was especially hard for Dan and Natalie. They came from different countries and different faiths, so they had to go through a lot of work -- and THREE wedding ceremonies (yes, three!) -- to get married in the eyes of all of the relevant governments, religions, and their friends and family. So much work! Good thing they really love each other. Join us for Episode 3 to hear Dan and Natalie's story: The Couple with Three Weddings!
