Melissa and Marisa are hitting the hard topics like why must the bride cut the cake? WHY? This episode is all about traditions - Which ones need to go? Which ones make the guests behave like a pack of crazy animals? Get the behind the scenes POV from two wedding photographers that have seen it all. This episode was recorded March 2021, right when we hit one year of covid. The ladies discuss one of the disappointments the pandemic gave them as well as their opinions on certain wedding traditions. Why do people still do the garter belt? Do you need 5 different toasts?
