In keeping with tradition, we're doing something a little different to ring in the New Year. This topic has been requested for awhile now, so today, inspired by Episode 1 (How We Met) and Episode 21 (Our Proposal Story), we're doing another throwback! We're going back in time to January 2015 thru September 2017, to what happened after Andy proposed. Listen on to hear why we waited 2.5 years for a wedding, what expenses got out of hand, how "influencer"-dom played a role, "The Moment" that made it all worthwhile, and in retrospect, what we would have done differently!
