Christie and Nicole are thrilled that they were able to record this week’s episode together from Nicole’s studio (her condo) in Baltimore, MD. In celebration of their sorority’s founder’s day, the dynamic duo includes two of their Sigma Kappa sisters, Natalie and Heather, in a discussion and cost/benefit analysis of wedding attendance and participation.

Many people joke that by being a member of a collegiate Greek community you are simply paying for your friends. What Christie and Nicole have come to find is that sorority dues are nothing compared to the endless amount of expenses resulting from these same friends deciding to tie the knot.

When it comes to weddings and bridesmaiding, Christie and Nicole have many thoughts and opinions and they are not afraid to share them in this episode. Key discussion topics include the cost of being a mere wedding guest, whether or not being the date of a groomsman (or bridesmaid) is the best spot to be in, how one should ask another to be a bridesmaid, the slow evolution toward weekend long destination bachelorette parties and the t-shirts involved, a woman’s best friend and worst enemy – David’s Bridal, wedding cake, and whether the passed hours d’oeuvres or mashed potatoes are the best part of a wedding.

She met her now husband, Kevin, in 2011 and moved with him to Cincinnati in 2012. They got an adorable yorkie named Galileo and started building a pretty sweet DINK life for themselves. At the end of 2015 they left their cushy DINK lives in Cincinnati to move to Richmond, VA. They now live in the suburbs of Richmond, VA with their beautiful daughter, Madeline.

Nicole was born and raised in Timonium, MD. She graduated from Delaney High School and also went onto attend the University of Maryland where she joined Sigma Kappa and paid for her friends.

After giving her soul to public accounting for a few years she decided to give teaching another shot and got her Masters in Education. She is now a fifth grade teacher (recently promoted from fourth) and a homeowner living in Baltimore, MD. She also has a boyfriend named Noah a.k.a. Snoah.
