Buckle up, gals and guys - this episode is a wild ride through the world of weddings! TV director - and more importantly, Pam's husband!! - Jeffrey R. Daniels finally makes an appearance as a guest on the podcast!!!
The gals thought they were going to grill him on how he prepared for his wedding proposal to Pam, but instead got engrossed by Jeff's hilarious story about his best man speech that ended up being a total trainwreck. They also discuss the time Brooke inadvertently crashed a wedding reception and Pam's current situation - accidentally getting invited to a celebrity wedding!
Jeff and the gals also read listeners' confessionals about smelly reception halls, the difficulties in getting stuck with unenthusiastic bridesmaids, and the danger in smushing wedding cake on an unsuspecting new bride.

Brooke and Pam chat with actress and comedy gal, Heather Woodward, about all the ups and downs in planning her upcoming wedding. They also help a stressed out bride deal with her own mom-zilla! Then the gals try to figure out how they would handle wedding guests accidentially getting charged for drinks during an open bar. (One option is to hop on the bar and start spraying everyone with champage!)

SHOW NOTES:
Pippa Middleton Book Confusion! We recorded this episode before our summer break, so Brooke's rant about Pippa's book - though still very real - is not in chronological order with the other podcast episodes. But don't worry, Brooke now has that damn book and is trying to figure out how to determine if it sucks or not. Stay tuned!

Join Brooke and Pam as they explore how their guest - literary agent, Michael Bourret - ended up with a ring on his left hand, despite his political views against the institute of marriage. They also discuss terrible trips to the dentist, why the first season of Survivor can lead to romance, and how Brooke, though not invited, bulldozed her way into attending Michael's wedding.
