"I’m more Disney than Coke" 

It’s the run up to Christmas, so the girls get us ready by talking about all things money and big spend weddings.

Today’s episode is mostly about Maddie Brockway’s wedding and we try and understand what that level of money is like! 

In true UFB fashion, the girls go totally off topic and talk about whether or not they have been in trouble before. Who do you think has been in trouble the most?

How on earth do you spend $57,000,000 on a wedding weekend?

-    Transport

-    Flowers

-    Photography & Videography

-    Content creation

-    Hair & Makeup

-    Venue

-    Catering

-    Bar

-    Cake

-    Maroon 5! 

But with the girls tallying thing up they’d said they spent around $36,000,000 so where has the additional $20,000,000 gone?! 

Somehow tattoo’s come up in conversation and Georgie gets rinsed for her ‘seize the day’ tattoo! It brings up the question of do you cover your tattoo’s for the big day?

Does a celebrity have a better wedding compared to ‘us lot’ – what is the VIBE? 

Bitches from a Bride: A bridesmaid is not happy with where she is sat – do you change? 

 Tip Jar: 3 Tips on how to manage spending for your wedding.

1.   Look at the actual figure you want to spend

2.   Look at all kinds of suppliers to see who you might want/need

3.   Be realistic and learn to say no!

"I hate everyone"

Beth has been cheating… or at least flirting… okay, accidentally sent a kiss to a supplier, same thing.

Disaster averted, today the girls today are discussing all things hen do!

The girls talk through Georgie’s hen do – the full weekend itinerary. From the fancy dress, the activities, the cost.

Side note - One of the games the girls played (which Georgie highly recommends as it was hilarious!) is to line up the guests in order of most to least sexual partners! 

Should you plan the hen do without involving the bride? And the big question – should the bride pay? 

Beth talks about some of her brides who have had to take over the hen do planning, because the girls are arguing! 

All the common hen do questions are answered...

- Who should be invited to your hen do?

- Would you go to a hen do if you were pregnant? 

- Would you go if you were getting married that year? 

- How honest should you be? 

- How much is too much? 

Georgie talks (carefully) about how flirty hen do’s can be. Are the girls worse than the boys? Scavenger hunts, getting condoms, pouring drinks into mouths… Sorry Brian.

Georgie poses the questions... can men and women be friends? 

Bitches from a bride: From cancelled hen do's to MOH problems!

Tip Jar: Tips for being a good bride and a good guest when it comes to hen do planning.

"With all due respect, you’re a danger"

This episode is another catch up with the girls. Videos, bitches and stories from the month.

We start with a video showing the famous Georgie Deep Dip, which failed hard. We learn to not behave like Beth would and let it ruin the whole wedding.

Next, the girls comment on a first dance that is filled with Kids and that bride is NOT happy. How would you react, would you care? 

Beth tells us all about her week and the killer weddings that are coming up. From cocktail tastings, penthouse weddings, Christmas wholesale and more.

And if you hadn’t heard it already... the girls ARE GOING ON TOUR! Signature cocktails, banging suppliers and big plans… but more on this on another episode.

Georgie has a big bitch – wedding magazines who charge to credit the suppliers, as well as talking about her venue visit, mean photographers and the mother from hell. 

Brian even gets chance to chat on the pod! He tells us all about a story of a groom arrested the morning of the wedding! 

Bitches from a bride -: Guest done for manslaughter, do I need to invite them? A groomsman has been court marshalled for a sex crime… what should they do? 

Tip Jar: How to be a good couple for your suppliers! 

-    Be realistic

-    Don’t ghost

-    Leave reviews

-    Communication

-    Attitude on the day

"Give a fu*k?"

Today's episode is all about those elopements and micro weddings

Is it an elopement if you have a party after?

And what number is intimate, small and micro?! It's all very confusing.

Would your family be annoyed if you eloped?

Beth explains her elopement wedding, which goes from just the 2 of them, to 40, to a party, to a full blown evening do!

We hear from Georgie's brother Dan who eloped and he gives us all the deets from the gardener who attended, to the cake cutting and the 4 hours of photos.

The girls discuss ways to enhance a micro wedding. Confetti, champagne tower, the list is endless.

Georgie tells us all about her micro legal wedding and it was epic. She also breaks down the cost.

Top 3 tips for an elopement

- Talk to your family

- Do as many traditions as you like

- Invest in a good photographer/videographer

Bitches from a bride: Married 2 weeks ago and hate the decor - am I being a diva or is it normal to feel like this?

Bitches from a bride - take 2!: My bridesmaid is only just sorting out her tailoring even though she's had 11 months to sort it- one job! Should she be annoyed?

"I’m willing to go to war on this"

It’s a catch up episode from the girls. 

We start the episode with girl maths, for example, the wedding venue is £2500 cheaper on a Friday, therefore I have made £2500. 

Beth tells us all about the sexist pig she came across at the weekend and how he even made her cry! Georgie even came close to tears when the photographer she met swore on the dancefloor. Is it a women’s world in the wedding industry? 

Georgie fills us in on her influencer trip! (Ps it was called Tenuta re Ferdinando) Are we going to witness 

Bad guest etiquette – the girls give us loads! 

1.   Putting jackets on the back of chairs

2.   Swapping seats 

3.   Bringing reception drinks in 

4.   Moving anything!

5.   Talking – during speeches, ceremonies or any key moment

6.   Don’t wear white

7.   Don’t be late

8.   Don’t be rude to the staff 

9.   Don’t request music 

10. Being annoying in group shots 

Big news – table numbers are lazy. It’s a really easy way to add some personality into your day – cheap, cost effective and can be aesthetic. 

The girls discuss the 2024 predictions – do you agree? More traditional, more relaxed, 2 day affairs, dress changes, cocktails, cute signage, cake cuttings, spice up the prosecco, no more sparklers 

How to make cake cuttings not awkward;

-    A countdown helps

-    Needs to be a filler on route to something else 

-    Have a laugh 

And finally a word of warning – DO NOT HOLD SMOKEBOMBS!
