Diaries of a Wedding Singer

FINALLY right?! Ali's had quite the spring and needed a little extra time to get her shit together for you all but we're here!! We've got cancer updates and pet news (a new dog!) and our opinion on best practices when joining a new band. If there are still tickets, get yours to The Way We Were, a Celine Dion/Barbra Streisand Tribute Show with Susie AND Ali with the Maine State Music Theater in Brunswick, ME and an orchestra!! June 16th and 17th. It's gonna be EPIC, you won't want to miss it. Follow us on instagram @diariesofaweddingsinger or email us at diariesofaweddingsinger@gmail.com with your best wedding stories. Season 4, we can't believe it! This season we'll be able to talk all about our stint on Fox's I Can See Your Voice and we plan to interview all the cool and talented people we met. Watch Season 3, episode 8 "Twinning" to see us! Stay tuned for a great season. Keep Ali in your thoughts and prayers as she finishes up her cancer treatment so we can hopefully put this behind us and talk about more than that bullshit :)

Can you believe we made it?! Well, this season is slightly shorter than normal but that's because Ali will be busy with Chemo starting on Wednesday, Nov 1! We're all just ready to get this shit show started so it can be over before we know it. We will hopefully share a wedding write-in episode and another Magic of Christmas breakdown towards the end of the year, but we will default to however Ali is feeling during this time. We can't express enough how thankful we are to all of you who listen! This has brought us more joy than you could know! We'll keep you updated on Ali's progress through the instagram page @diariesofaweddingsinger. You can follow Susie's band @mixologyband and her personal page @susiestaubs. You still have time to give us your best wedding story! Write us at diariesofaweddingsinger@gmail.com. Pray pray pray for a speeding recovery!

WTF is all we can say. Thank you for waiting an extra week for this week's episode! We'll explain it all right off the bat. Also, in more happy news, CONGRATS Elise and Josh!

How is it already halfway through December?! In today's episode we get to talk all about Susie's American FAMily (AMFAM) Christmas concert and the number of times Ali got mistaken for being Susie! Honestly, it's a good mistake to make! Also, being in a new house means that there is a lot of furnishing to do! Because of that, Ali's house is rather empty and there wasn't a great spot to record without a little echo in there. So Ali's audio is not quite as good as we'd like. We apologize for all the technical trouble this year! New Year's resolution is good sound! Don't forget to DM us or write an email at diariesofaweddingsinger@gmail.com to give us your crazy wedding stories for our "write-in" episode next monday!

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!

We've had so much fun recording our conversations and at the very least, we'll have these forever to remind us of our crazy past lives!

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 explicit, but they are definitely an adult discussion. :) Check out our instagram for pics corresponding to stories we've told, like, the car from the golf course (it was a Jeep not a Subaru!), Bernadette's meltdown, or the concert menace! @diariesofaweddingsinger NEXT WEEK, Monday, will be our season finale!
