On today's episode, we’re talking about polka dot dresses, strange vegetables (like okra), and family traditions.

After attending the wedding of some dear friends this past weekend, we were inspired to talk about our own families' traditions and how they connect us to our history. Here's what we covered:

* How our families celebrate holidays like New Years and Christmas

* What traditions we're hoping to continue as we create our own family together

* Why we believe rituals and traditions are an important part of a relationship
