  • Episode 41: Defying Gravity

    Amy and Darren discuss 'deconstructed weddings', where a traditional wedding day is broken down into bite-sized parts. How would they feel about having their legal signing, ceremony and reception on different days, instead of one big day? They also chat about other popular wedding venues, like manors, barns and people's back gardens.

    Darren's got Wicked fever, while also preparing to head to Manchester for a big United game this week. Since Amy is heading along too, she's quizzed on some past and present Man United players. And the couple try to figure out what presents they are getting each other for Christmas.

    Our listeners have been in touch too. One shares his experiences of the fore-mentioned "Yoke Yops" from last week's episode. And another wants to know more about Darren's taste in heavy metal music.

  • Episode 40: Advice for the Grooms

    After last week's episode with advice for the brides-to-be, it's only fair that this week we share advice for the grooms-to-be. From timing your wedding haircut strategically and learning how to tie a tie, to checking for suit tags and checking your best man's speech.

    Amy and Darren have officially sent out their wedding invitations. They've also put up their Christmas tree already - controversial? And the recent chat about 'egg ick' has ignited something in our listeners, and sparked another debate over 'milk ick'.

    Both of this week's listener questions involve the same person, through pure coincidence. One is a would you rather involving basketballs and Nike Air Max, and the other is asking how quickly Darren will open the cards on or after the wedding day?

  • Episode 39: Advice for the Brides

    Amy and Darren are sharing advice for brides-to-be ahead of their wedding day. From sharing tasks with your bridesmaids to carrying an emergency kit at all times on the big day. And even Amy as a fellow bride-to-be is learning a thing or two from this!

    Amy is thinking about creating an Instagram account for Frank and Dixie - but is Darren on board with this idea? With World Television Day coming up on Thursday, the couple chat about the best, worst and most missable television shows.

    And our listeners have sent in their questions - there's a plus-one dilemma, and is making a wedding gift list worthwhile?

  • Episode 38: Cufflinks, Collages and Candles

    Amy and Darren discuss getting each other gifts on the day of their wedding, and they've drawn some ideas from the internet. From Tiffany bracelets, to engraved Tequila bottles. Some are practical, most are cheesy. But they are definitely sentimental.

    Amy tells about Frank and Dixie's big day out in Howth. Darren's sceptical about the Gardaí helping a stranded florist on the day of a wedding. And is 'egg-ick' a real thing?

    We've got some more listener questions this week. Amy and Darren debate real or dried flowers for a wedding day? And is it acceptable to not go to someone's wedding because it's too expensive?

  • Episode 37: Am I The Asshole?

    Amy and Darren are doing the wedding edition of Am I The Asshole, where we hear various wedding scenarios from listeners and try to determine whether they are fair in what they're doing, or totally unfair. From bringing a child to a child-free wedding, having a strict colour code for wedding guests, and stopping at the deli for food between the wedding ceremony and reception.

    There's a dog on this episode - and it's not Frank or Dixie. It opens the debate of the difference between a golden retriever and a labrador. Darren recalls a memorable encounter from his one and only visit to Hill 16 in Croke Park. And Amy tells us about the movie she watched this week that kept her up at night.

    There are listener questions about eloping, being last minute with wedding plans, and a very interesting 'Would You Rather' about a wedding ring and a LOT of money.

  • Episode 36: The 'You Enjoy Yourself' Table

    Amy and Darren debate who to invite to a wedding and more importantly, who NOT to invite - from exes, distant cousins, work colleagues and neighbours. How should plus one invitations work? And will should you invite your friend that you know can get a bit messy as the night progresses?

    Fresh off the back of a live show, Amy and Darren catch-up on their game of Mr & Mrs in Vicar Street last weekend, and compare how they got on at the show to how they did during their trial run on last week's episode. You might have heard too - The Conways is nominated for Best Society and Culture Podcast at the Irish Pod Awards, so thank you to everyone for voting! And with Halloween this week, Amy and Darren reminisce on some of their childhood costumes, and share their Halloween plans for this year.

    Our listeners have been in touch again this week - wanting to know if Amy and Darren will read vows to one another on their wedding day, and what were their non-negotiables when choosing a wedding venue?

  • Episode 35: Here Comes Pork Scratchings

    Amy and Darren take a look at some of wedding trends which are set to be big in 2025 - from champagne towers and fun desserts, to pets being involved in the big day. Will they be opting in or out of any of them?

    We hear a pup-date about Dixie, and how Darren is obsessed with her every move. Amy's talking us through the wedding invite process after their appointment at the weekend, and in preparation for Amy's cameo at the Stall It live show, there's a fun (turning-argumentative) game of Mr and Mrs played on this week's episode.

    There's also a listener question in about "Day 2" of weddings. What are Amy and Darren's opinion on it, and will they have a Day 2 themselves?

  • Episode 34: What Are You Ringing Me For?

    You'll have heard of the wedding tradition "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue"...but what would Amy and Darren choose for each of these? Would Amy let her sister borrow her wedding dress, or would Darren lend his suit to a family member for their wedding? And the couple have some big ideas for what they are going to do with their dress and suit after the big day!

    Amy and Darren have got their new puppy, so you'll hear all about her. There's chats about tooth-aches and wedding invites, the podcast gets interrupted by a scam call, and Darren is blowing up his mam's phone to ask her a few questions.

    Some of our listeners want to know this week if Amy and Darren have a wedding planner or not, and there's options of wedding entertainment that needs to be chosen from.

  • Episode 33: Nude Weddings at a Bus Stop in Finglas

    With more and more couples opting out of church weddings, Amy and Darren chat about some of the wedding venues where people have been getting married - from IKEAs and takeaways, to caves and rollercoasters.

    Amy's got her new hair extensions - and Darren's got his say on them. And there's a live show at Vicar Street on the 20th of October to prepare for...for BOTH Darren and Amy!

    From this week's listener questions, Amy and Darren have to choose between a curse that's been put on their wedding by an Owl Wizard, they hear from John B (not Johnny B) from Tipp living down under, and one listener has a name suggestion for Amy and Darren's new puppy!

  • Episode 32: Money Well Spent

    Amy and Darren chat about the things at weddings that are worth the money, from entertainment and food, to photo props and videographers. Ever been to a wedding where there's been karaoke? And what is the general consensus on hiring a mobile content creator for your big day?

    Amy exposes Darren for sneaking off in the middle of the night, and you'll never guess where he goes? Amy loves getting her nails done, but hates pedicures for a specific reason. And Darren's taking a crash course on hair extensions.

    There are some more listener questions to be answered this week. A bride has a dilemma about who she should ask to be her maid-of-honour? And how did Amy and Darren know that each other was "the one"?
