This week Brooke and Pam are joined by animator, illustrator and comedy guy, David Kantrowitz! Not only is he the husband of Heather Woodward, guest from Episode 24, but he also created our new Wedding Confessionals logo!
David got married a few months ago on New Years Eve, so he's got tons of wedding stories to share, including a hilariously sweet proposal, picking out an unconventional groom's outfit and dealing with senior citizen wedding crashers!
--
SHOW NOTES:
David proposed at The Alamo Motel in Los Alamos, CA. Brooke still hasn't been able to book a room there, but maybe you'll have better luck than her!
David & Heather were married at the Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City, CA. Great location, beware of aging wedding crashers.
David & Heather's Los Angeles-based wedding photographer was Clay Larsen.

Also, the gals learn how to properly pronounce the word "moissanite"...and find out what the hell moissanite is.

Fellow podcaster and co-founder of #Hashily Ever After, Sara Tenebein, joins Brooke and Pam to talk some shit about weddings.

Somehow they eventually stop talking about cheese and chat about weddings, including someone who made Freud's Oedipus complex the main topic of their wedding speech. (Yikes!)
The gals also tackle listeners' confessionals about Midwestern wedding bar crawls, inappropriate touching at a receptions, and the complexities of having a family member as your wedding photographer.
