Our Wedding Story

In keeping with tradition, we're doing something a little different to ring in the New Year. This topic has been requested for awhile now, so today, inspired by Episode 1 (How We Met) and Episode 21 (Our Proposal Story), we're doing another throwback! We're going back in time to January 2015 thru September 2017, to what happened after Andy proposed. Listen on to hear why we waited 2.5 years for a wedding, what expenses got out of hand, how "influencer"-dom played a role, "The Moment" that made it all worthwhile, and in retrospect, what we would have done differently! 0:00 - Introduction 2:35 - City Hall 5:33 - Considering A Wedding 10:23 - Choosing A Venue 14:15 - Postponing 14:54 - Deciding To Hire A Planner 15:38 - The "Influencer Wedding" 20:49 - Thoughts On Having A Planner 21:43 - The Dress 34:10 - Tasting 35:23 - The Cake 35:33 - Our Cake Topper 36:31 - The Dress, Continued 38:06 - Wedding Day 41:02 - The Big Reveal 42:37 - Our City Hall Officiant 43:57 - "The Most Important Day In Your Life" 46:03 - Wedding Day, Continued 46:47 - The Ceremony 50:11 - Cocktail Hour/Reception 50:38 - The Moment 53:50 - Wedding Favors 54:06 - Jewish Traditions 54:30 - In Retrospect: Regrets, Surprises, Things We're Happy About 1:08:48 - Overall Takeaways If you have a relationship question, write us at: [email protected] Support Dear Shandy: https://redcircle.com/dear-shandy/donations Subscribe - https://bit.ly/SubscribeDearShandy Listen on iTunes - https://bit.ly/DearShandyiTunes More Dear Shandy Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dearshandy Facebook - https://fb.me/dearshandy More Sharleen Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharleenjoynt Blog - http://www.alltheprettypandas.com More Andy Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/machinelevine Produced by Gabrielle Galon - https://www.instagram.com/gabsamillion Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dear-shandy/donations Learn more about your ad choices.
