As this year comes to and end, our schedules have been insane! Megan has been living out of a suitcase & because of all her traveling has caught every cold under the sun!

We catch you up on all that we've been tackling the past few weeks, as well as catch up on several bachelor couple weddings! When Megan was in the Florida Keys, she heard the story of the original corpse bride! While disturbing & unsettling, it is by far one of the craziest stories we've ever discussed on the Pod!!! Speaking of "pods", getting into this week's episode we are breaking down Love is Blind Season 3. Since we didn't do weekly recaps this season, we had A LOT to say! We know these shows are strategically edited & produced, so while we take strong stances on some of the issues that went down, we know there are always two sides to the story. Season 3 definitely redeemed the franchise from the dumpster fire that was Season 2, we need an After the Altar episode ASAP!! We hope by not having an episode last week you saved your "appetito" for some juicy gossip! Cheers! Cuties MojitosReal Corpse BrideJoe & SerenaMadi PrewKevin & AstridTik Tok Groom in Coffin

Weed at weddings is not something we could have imagined years ago, but now there are cannabis vendors, weed wedding expos & a man that calls himself the Flower Daddy?? What happens when a brother laces his sister's wedding cake with weed? Are bong rips the new equivalent to Champagne Toasts? What do you do when you're wedding guests start falling asleep after a few too many "magical" brownies? This is your sign to pop a big chill today, no matter what that looks like!!

We're back to some crazy reddit stories this week, and in this episode we're embarking on the age old debate....kids or no kids?? Megan gives us a fun fact that definitely makes Courtney regret not having more candy at her wedding, and we spill our thoughts on the Kravis nuptials!! As we dive into one of the most controversial topics when it comes to wedding planning, Megan plays devils advocate with some pros and cons of why or why not to opt for a kid free wedding. Is a plate of Mac and cheese worth $70? Can you have kids in your ceremony but not your reception? If you get invited to a kid free wedding what happens if you show up with them anyways? What age limit is "kid free" referring to?

A wise woman (the Queen Dolly Parton) once said, “I am a self-made woman, and I have the doctor bills to prove it!” We love some honesty around here, so we're breaking down expectations, realizations and truths behind all things beauty in the world that is 2022. We're breaking stigmas, hyping up treatments and quick fixes we love, while also sharing fads and procedures we regret or think are overrated. It's not easy being a woman, and adding a wedding creates so much more pressure to look your best. We're here to help navigate that process with tips that have worked for us, as well as provide some suggested timelines to prevent pimples on your wedding day and what treatments you can pass on! Always remember you're your toughest critic and to do your research before deciding on any type of significant change or improvement - and when you're doubting yourself, try a spray tan first just to make sure!

This week is a bit different from our typical format, but by far the most important episode we've ever done. While we are not medical professionals by any means, we are opening up about some health issues that are currently keeping us down. We hope that by sharing our stories, resources and experiences - we can be an outlet to anyone else struggling. From PCOS, periods & pooping to endometriosis, a flawed medical system and celery juice, nothing is off limits this week! Every body is different, but our biggest piece of advice this week is to be your own health advocate!! No one should have to live a life in pain, uncomfortable or without answers...you are not alone!!Signature Cocktail - The Crypt Keeper (from urgent care...iykyk) https://thedrunkenmoogle.com/post/179189768996/the-crypt-keeper-tales-from-the-crypt-cocktailSome resources mentioned in today's episode as well as products that have been helpful: https://www.happygutlife.com/the-book/https://www.medicalmedium.com/medical-medium-podcast.htmhttps://www.medicalmedium.com/medical-medium-celery-juice-movement.htmhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pcos-why-are-so-many-women-suffering-a-conversation/id1493579571?i=1000535137037https://seed.com/daily-synbiotic?gclid=Cj0KCQjw5-WRBhCKARIsAAId9Fmra_WvTZIHqxxb0bnJZMtHGr4a4iB8OqXQDemET9kayb4PBhTuNSEaArSoEALw_wcB

What in the world? Literally, things have been crazy these past few weeks and we felt like we could not start off this week's episode without addressing some of the scary and devastating situations going on right now. Our hearts are with the people of Ukraine and we start off this episode with some fun Ukrainian wedding traditions as well as a story of a young couple who demonstrate true love and bravery during such an uneasy and terrifying time. In the spirit of "the news" we're giving you our best take on what's happening in the world when it comes to weddings, from a region in Italy paying for your wedding - to getting married by proxy in Montana, this weeks stories are a little lighter but interesting all the same!  As Love is Blind has come to a close, we're ending this episode with our reactions to last week's finale, let's just say our eyes were as wide Shane's ceremony look, during most of the episode!

If last week were sweet, then this week we're sour!! It's been a while since we've covered some of our favorite wild and crazy stories, so this week you're in for a treat! We don't waste much time as we dive into a series of short stories and head scratching tales of real wedding guests. What would you do if the bride made you (as well as every other wedding guest) give her a compliment before the reception could commence? Or what if in order to RSVP you also had to send a $60 to attend? From brides in yoga pants, to a 20 minute auto tuned musical vow ceremony these stories are...crazy, bitch! (seriously you gotta watch that video we're talking about) Similar to last week, we end the episode covering the last 5 episodes to Love is Blind. We thought we'd keep it short....but then we had a lot to say! We pick our favorite couples, our most compatible cast mates, and our predictions on who will say I do! This week we're drinking: A Drunken Sour Gummy Worm Cocktailhttps://recipes-for-all.com/drunken-sour-gummy-worm-cocktail/Stories:https://www.reddit.com/r/weddingshaming/comments/ml9qlq/my_next_cringe_installment_the_april_fools_day/https://www.reddit.com/r/weddingshaming/comments/hbfl2d/our_best_mans_speech_including_joking_about/https://www.eugeneportman.com/just-for-fun/interesting-humorous-weird-wedding-facts-and-traditions/https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a39110563/why-shailene-woodley-aaron-rodgers-split/https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/taylor-swift-and-joe-alwyn-engaged-after-5-years-together/https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/02/21/man-fatally-shot-wedding-florida/6882039001/https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8452265/amp/People-reveal-cringe-worthy-things-theyve-seen-weddings.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSkHMSKgIWs
