This week, Ali has stories from her weekend but Susie had a break for once! So to make up some time, we found a bunch of statements from people who've canceled their weddings and weigh in on if we agree or disagree with their reasoning. Remember, these are just our opinions! Each situation is complicated and has more details that influence those decisions to cancel. We hope you enjoy! And if you h...

WE DID IT! We made it to the Season Finale! Guys, a serious thank you to all who listened through these past few months. On a whim, we decided to start this idea of a wedding podcast and so far we came in the top 5 of a nationwide podcast competition, and are being played in 8 COUNTRIES! (U.S.A, India, Germany, Australia, Canada, Brazil, UK, and Mexico). We've had so much fun recording our convers...

EXPLICIT Warning: some material might not be suitable for children. It's here! FINALLY we're talking about the stories that we've gotten from listeners! If you want to get straight to the stories, you'll need to skip ahead to around minute 20! We got a little carried away with a final few stories from Ali's last wedding. We've added an "explicit" tag, not because any of these stories are actually...

Happy to report that our faith in wedding planners was redeemed in this episode! The episode today is a little shorter because Susie's wedding season is over!

We get it, sometimes wedding planners are the perfect addition to make your wedding day go off without a hitch....and sometimes they are the WORST. This week we discuss our encounters with terrible wedding planners and the new trend to get around noise ordinances. Who knew?!

Thanks for waiting an extra day while we worked out some technical difficulties! We're back with another round of funny/embarrassing moments from our summer performances! In one of Susie's last stories today, she mentions an encounter with a guy that we talked about back in Ep. 8 with Meg Doherty.

This week we reminisce on that time Susie sang with Ali at a recent wedding and was less than professional... it's lucky Wisconsinites are the BEST and can take a joke!

This week we reminisce on our weekend spent TOGETHER! Living in different states, it's rare we get to perform with each other, let alone spend 5 days without kids! We had an eventful time to say the least... Also, Susie's big and beautiful new house isn't the perfect space to record, so you may notice a little echo in her voice for this episode.  THANK YOU for listening and if you like what y...
