Paige & Sam Plan a Wedding

You might remember our good friend and frequent guest Brianne Dupuis. Well, Paige and Sam decided to sit down and chat with her parents, Bob and Heather, to get more of that intergenerational perspective!

Bob and Heather look back at how they met, dating and their wedding. As was the theme of this episode, they talk about the ups and downs of relationships and how they've grown closer through them after 35 years of marriage. They also talk about the most memorable part of their wedding reception. Here's a hint: it wasn't the crab cakes.

Bringing it back to their roots, Paige and Sam talk about another aspect of the wedding planning process! This time, Paige takes the reins and talks about her experience shopping for, and ultimately buying, a wedding dress. She talks with her mom, Karen, and one of her matrons of honor, Margaret, about the process and their own experiences dress shopping.

They cap it off by having a frank discussion about the fashion industry, particularly as it pertains to accessibility and size inclusivity.

In one of the most ambitious crossover events in history (well, at least this podcast's history), Sam and Paige sit down with fellow podcasters Aaron and Elizabeth Hinds! You may know them from their funny, insightful podcast "Married to the Idea." Today, they join forces with Sam and Paige to talk about their lengthy and adorable relationship.

Aaron and Elizabeth take us through the highs and lows of their relationship from the time they met in their middle school library, to school dances, long distance relationships, sharing water beds and sexy cruise directors. They also tell the story of how Elizabeth and Sam met in college and how they convinced Aaron to let her live with two guys he had never met before.

Keeping true to form with this format, they also talk about how they got engaged after years of dating, planning their wedding and, most importantly, creating a marriage that's built to last. The word "awwww" was said more than once in this episode.

On this very special episode Sam and Paige sit down with two VERY special guests: Sam's parents! They were a little gun shy at the start but they quickly settled in and had fun thinking back to their early days, dating, getting engaged and, eventually, married!

Sam asked them to stop there because he didn't want to hear how he came to be. Other topics include marriage counseling, Wisconsin weather, sleeve sizes and Sam's struggles with making male friends.

"Let's hurry, we have so much time to see and so little to do! Wait wait...strike that. Reverse it."

Or should they? In this episode Paige and Sam decided to check in roughly one year out from the big day to see how much they have done and still need to do. Using a handy guide courteous of The Knot, they look at where they are in the planning process in relation to what's "recommended" at that time.

Spoiler alert: one year is NOT that much time.

Coming up with a title for this one was a puzzler. But one thing that was definitely NOT a puzzler is who Paige and Sam wanted to be their wedding photographer: their dear friend Wendy Norman. In fact, they love her so much that just minutes after their consultation they dragged her into the studio to chat about her work, how she fell in love with photography and what the wedding photography industry is like in a town like Savannah.

In this episode, Paige and Sam do a deep dive into Wendy's life (after college) and learn how she decided to go from a cozy desk job to the high flying world of event photography. They also talk about posing, sexy vegetables, antiquated wedding traditions and puppy bouquets!

Wendy was an absolute delight to have on the pod and we hope you enjoy!

Regular listeners might remember our guest Kimmie Chonko from ep. 6 and how she masterfully helped with our proposal. Luckily we didn't scare her off last time because she is BACK! Not only that, she brought her husband Tim along for the ride.

In this episode, we ask Kimmie and Tim about their own Savannah wedding and how the last five years of married life has been. Other topics include grad school, volcanoes and teen pregnancy (that last one does NOT pertain to Tim and Kimmie, FYI.)

Make sure to listen all the way to the end for a HUGE surprise that even the guests didn't see coming!
