When the Bride Dances with Everyone but the Groom: Red Flags at Receptions

Wedding cakes on chandeliers, fondant masterpieces smuggled from Las Vegas hotels, brides dirty dancing with everyone except the groom—these are just a few highlights from our laugh-out-loud part two exploration of wedding dysfunctions.

We're picking up where we left off last week, diving into the evolution of wedding cake trends from the elaborate fountain-adorned creations of the 80s to today's artistic fondant designs. Kerry reveals the great cake escape story from her Mandalay Bay wedding, complete with seashells and brown sugar "sand" that had to be wheeled through the casino and smuggled home.

Welcome to the Dysfunction.

DJ Nick: 0:09

Junkies Podcast. We may not have seen it all, but we've seen it all.

DJ Nick: 0:14

And now here are your hosts, Chrisy and Kerry.

Kerry: 0:22

Hello Junkies, I'm Kerry

Chrisy: 0:24

and I'm Chrisy

Kerry: 0:25

. Well, we went down the rabbit hole of weddings and we didn't get to talk about half of what we wanted to. So here we are, part two, Part two.

Chrisy: 0:34

Weddings Of the greatest event in everyone's life.

Kerry: 0:41

Yes, well, let's see, I think, where we left off is we were starting to talk about. We were talking about the reception and you guys falling for each other literally as you were exiting the room, and so what's good where we want to pick up with. How about the cake?

Chrisy: 0:56

Yeah, the cake is, it's wonderful. And boy, I tell you what they do with cakes now.

Kerry: 1:01

I'm jealous. Yeah, so we didn't have those options. You were cheated.

Chrisy: 1:06

A little bit. Yeah, I mean, cause my cake wasn't anything fancy and the only thing that was fancy about it and it was kind of a thing. And boy does this date Like. I remember my my oldest sister when she got married. It was those typical early eighties, late seventies, 80s, late 70s, early 80s cakes that had, like all the wedding party was represented by a little figurine.

Kerry: 1:27

Oh, okay.

Chrisy: 1:28

With the. Usually there was a little fountain in the middle. And there were like little staircases and you put all the little bridesmaids and groomsmen, with the bride and groom on top. I mean, that's what she had.

Kerry: 1:38

Right.

Chrisy: 1:39

And that was like wonderful then, right. I mean, if you saw that now you'd probably be like, oh my God, this is so horrible. But then it was what you had, right? I think there was a little bit of a time period that this was sort of popular when I got married in the early 90s, putting your cake on a chandelier. I never saw that was actually lighted. Mine was on a chandelier that was actually lit up Really.

Kerry: 2:02

Yeah, a chandelier, like you mean, like it was like the cake stand was crystal and the cake stand was like I think it was actually maybe gold, uh huh, like a can, like a chandelier, that was hanging from the ceiling.

Chrisy: 2:16

My cake was not hanging from the ceiling. That's what I'm imagining it was basically taking the chandelier off the ceiling, putting it on top of a table and then placing your little cake pieces around it. And it was illuminated. We can post this. I guess I have the rights to that now, since I did purchase my negatives. And so that was kind of a thing. But I tell you, if I had to do it again, again, here you just sort of think oh, if I could do it again.

Chrisy: 2:43

I tell you, if I had to do it again again here you just sort of think, oh, if I could do it again, just with the use of fresh flowers, or even just the simplicity of some of these, that speaks volumes, even more than the extreme extravagance that people used to do or maybe still do. Yeah, I don't understand the fondant thing.

Kerry: 3:01

Well, I have. Actually, we had fondant on on my well, jim and i's wedding. So, from here on out, when I say my wedding, we're just going to talk about the third one, the most important one, right? Okay, so, but we actually we have a funny thing about our cake. Okay, because we had to sneak it out of the hotel.

Chrisy: 3:19

Wait a minute, here we. What are you talking about?

Kerry: 3:26

Okay, so we got married at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and this is when they had their own chapel. That was out by, and the Mandalay Bay if you've never been there is very like tropical themed and they have a big, huge pool that's like palm trees all around it has a sand bottom pool and like it looks like you're sitting at the beach. You know, all around it has a sand bottom pool and like it looks like you're sitting at the beach. You know. Well, they had a building separate from the casino and the hotel. That was their wedding chapel and it was beautiful. So, even though we got married in Las Vegas and we were at one of the casinos, it didn't feel like you were in a casino and you weren't doing the drive by and you didn't have Elvis and you didn't.

Kerry: 4:04

You know it was actually it was. You know I'd want Elvis, I know you would, but that's why we picked this one chapel. So of course they have wedding packages. So whenever you get married there, you've got, you know, you get the chapel, you get the flowers included, you know. So they have this basic package.

Kerry: 4:18

Well, part of it was you could have, you know, your cake. Well, like I mentioned before is, we got married and we all went to the bar where they had a little band playing, so we had a little, you know, a little, get together. Right afterwards, the next day is really when we had the reception and we basically had a big cookout at our house and that's when we wanted the cake. They brought the cake up to our room because that's where we were gonna like, we had this big suite, so the reception was supposed to be in our room. They brought the cake up to the room and it was on this beautiful, like you know, rolling nice table and it had this very simple two-layer fondant covered cake that was all like beachy. It had like seashells and it was. It was really beautiful. They had like brown sugar that looked like sand.

Chrisy: 5:08

Yes, I do, we should. I can post it.

Kerry: 5:11

Post it okay yeah, I took the picture so I can post it. I own the rights to the picture.

Kerry: 5:17

so we're like, oh, we never thought about how we were gonna get this cake home. You know, like that just never ended our mind. So here we are, rolling this cake down the hall of the you know 30 something floor of the Mandalay Bay, down the escalator, rolling it out to the valet parking lot. It was a big cake and it was on this nice like, oh, I'm sure it's just fake marble plastic, but you know. So we're like shoot, how are we going to? Well, we're just going to just take it like this. So we snuck it out. And now I say snuck. We bought the damn cake. It wasn't, you know, but it was not intended for transfer, it was meant to be eaten at the hotel. So, but yeah, that was our fondant cake. It was really pretty.

Chrisy: 6:03

So what were your? Did you have a specific color, oh, no Theme, or was it just the nice simple like ivory or white?

Kerry: 6:12

It was just very simple, yeah, yeah, my sister-in-law made my dress and it was kind of like a silvery, like a bluish, silvery, simple dress. She made it for me. It was, you know, not the big kind of a dress, but it was. It was nice for a third wedding. It wasn't white because, again, third wedding, because everything was already decorated. The hotel was very like tropical themed, you know. But it was elegant, but yeah, but the cake was a beach theme wonderful.

Chrisy: 6:39

Well, I knew there are people who have been married more than once that continually go back to the white wedding white cake, not cake dress.

Kerry: 6:47

Yeah, this is my wedding, I wore a white dress yeah lace yeah, so I don't know but not froofy, right? Well, yeah, no, they probably get less froofy.

Chrisy: 6:55

I guess I don't yeah, the fondant, because maybe I didn't, maybe it wasn't really, it wasn't maybe really a thing yet yeah, it right, correct, back when we got you have so much the capability of what you can do. Yes, with how you're going to decorate your cake.

Chrisy: 7:11

Yes, the fondant offers a wonderful flexibility and options with that and I guess when I got married it was still old school, so you just wanted all the lovely frosting, yes, and the sweeter, the better and the better. And the other way I was a real traditionalist. Sometimes you go to these weddings and they have these wonderful cake flavors Like and there'll be more than one. Oh wait, do you have?

Kerry: 7:32

a picture of it. I have a picture. Oh yeah, oh, you have it right there, yeah.

Chrisy: 7:50

It had like all these were like seashells'm glad because now I got a good idea of what that looks like. That that is beautiful. I am jealous because, again, my cake was lovely and it was very good and you know, we took part in what was, I guess, sort of the the theme of the time with the chandelier thing, and uh, chandelier I can't wait to see a picture of that.

Chrisy: 8:04

Yeah, it was what it was. You know again, if you had to do it again when you got married as an older person, yeah, my cake would have been much different. Yeah, would you let me smash it in your face this time? Oh, yeah.

Kerry: 8:17

Okay, so here's where this goes.

Chrisy: 8:19

You just if you've been at a wedding where this occurs and everybody sort of eggs on the couple with doing this. Usually by the time you get to the cake, people have had a few beverages by then. Everybody's a little bit hyper and intense and they really want to see someone get nailed with this.

Kerry: 8:38

And I was like.

Chrisy: 8:39

I was so like, first of all, I spent a lot of money on my dress, Did a lot of time with makeup, Again with my makeup, I wasn't spent a lot of money on my dress, did a lot of time with makeup again with my makeup? I wasn't going to get the ashes on my head.

Kerry: 8:50

So now why am I going?

Chrisy: 8:51

to wear cake, I'm opting out again. Horrible human being not there for your entertainment. So I did pretty much threaten my future husband slash husband with his life if he dare smush that thing. So we had the most probably boring and most civilized the cake exchange in the history of the cake cutting, bride and groom sharing. Thank you for being kind. I think if we did get married now probably would be fun to smush cake at each other.

Kerry: 9:25

And I'm sure we probably, maybe we should just do this for the hell of it.

Chrisy: 9:28

I don't know, yeah, but so yeah, but I mean gosh, some of these people they get yeah.

Kerry: 9:35

Oh, I have an issue with that Again, I think personally, my personal opinion is, if the bride and groom smush the cake on their faces, each other's faces, I think that is a first sign of dysfunction in their marriage and they will end in divorce. And I always, I cringe, I'm always like, oh god, please. You know, especially if I really like the couple and I we get to the cake part, I'm like oh god, please, don't, please, don't do it, please, don't get it. And I am like I'm, I'm getting all worked up until they do the cake. And then, you know, if it's civil, then it's like, oh good, okay, yeah, they're gonna make it good they got a chance this fascinating.

Chrisy: 10:13

I think this would make an incredible study for somebody who was doing a research or something like that, and maybe even your personal, because you've been to weddings. Yes, so just you don't have to name names or anything else, but just like shuffle back in your memory with these weddings. And who did the extreme? Do you know if you have the data that supports your idea that the worse off people are smushing that cake at each other. Are they still married now I?

Kerry: 10:40

have to think Because, I will tell you, most all the weddings I've been to they have not smushed and all of those people are still married. So I'm trying, I know I've been to some where they have smushed but they were not like close, like it might have been someone like Jim knew, or extended, you know. So and I'm trying to think about like those ones, if they smushed, and then do I know them enough now? No, they're not married. I'm gonna start keeping track of that yeah, that's a good that's a good one like a over years

Chrisy: 11:06

yeah at a thing you need to mark okay, smush cake.

Kerry: 11:09

Five years, ten years, oh nope, divorced off the and I will tell you when jim and I did our vow renewal and they had a cake there. No, no, no, no, you didn't, no, no no, no, no okay.

Kerry: 11:19

but but I can say I could see in some relationships where that could be okay, like so it's a no for me personally, but I could see, like how you guys were saying like I could see that being totally like oh yeah, that's, we've grown into that and it would be OK. It's just on a personal preference. No, I still don't want that and it didn't happen. But I could see as a vow renewal or 2050 anniversary or 50th anniversary doing it then given that you've had several years of like.

Chrisy: 11:48

you know you've made it in your evasion. And there's that one thing that bothers you about this person. You know they snore too much. The damn toilet seat you left up again. You never put the toilet seat down and I think then it's humorous.

Kerry: 12:02

Right.

Chrisy: 12:02

You know what another telltale sign is that probably a marriage isn't going to work out. What when you go to a wedding and the bride is dirty dancing with every other person at the wedding except the groom? Yes, and I've been to such a thing. No. First of all, a theme wedding's great and, if you like, a rustic wedding, yes, absolutely.

Kerry: 12:26

Yeah.

Chrisy: 12:26

You know it's all about what means to you and your, your future husband, your future spouse.

Kerry: 12:32

Right.

Chrisy: 12:32

This was at a, and this is more about me. It has nothing to do with them, their choice. I was going to a wedding and remember I was much younger too this was quite a long time ago where I was not told what type of wedding it was Right.

Kerry: 12:46

Okay. And when we got there, so you didn't get a hint by the invitation, or it didn't say black tie or casual, or wear a costume, or where you know it was. Just here's the date.

Chrisy: 12:57

Here we are, boom, here's the wedding okay, and I expected, uh, because I was wearing a dress that I actually had bought at bloomingdale's.

Kerry: 13:05

Oh, my word you were going all out well, I, what am I?

Chrisy: 13:09

I hate to say this my first credit card, because my mom told me I had an established credit which I was kind of mad at her because I was like now you want me to be committed to paying a bill. All the time I've had my life has been so easy, you've been paying everything. Now you want me to pay for something. So I said I'll show you my first credit card. No, it's not JCPenney, it's not, no, no, bloomingdale's. Thank you.

Kerry: 13:32

We don't even have a.

Chrisy: 13:33

Bloomingdale's around here. They had a catalog. They mailed me a catalog. Oh okay, and I ordered and stuff was delivered and I had the card, oh my God. So I wore a very nice dress and I would have to venture to say that my dress probably cost way more than the bride's, although she was in a legitimate wedding dress, right. But it was also in like this when you say barn, you think of something lovely. So in like this, when you say barn you think of something lovely?

Chrisy: 13:55

Yeah, but this was more like a farm equipment garage. Oh, it was a very nice open, large space.

Kerry: 14:01

Okay.

Chrisy: 14:08

But in my mind, when I walked in, I could see very large, big tractors and maybe like a little puppy dog and a horse walking around saying you know E-I-E-I-O, but hey, whatever, but yes, this bride was like I don't know if she had too much to drink. I don't know if this was just in her personality, okay, but we were sitting at the table and just people watching.

Kerry: 14:31

Oh, that's the best, that's the best to do.

Chrisy: 14:34

Bride was skirt up gyrating oh, no all over, I'm like is that the groom?

Kerry: 14:41

no, that's not there, oh my oh wait, there's a new.

Chrisy: 14:44

That's the groom right oh, no, oh oh my, it was just a bunch. Is that the groom? No I just kept getting no's from Nick and there she goes again after like 14 guys. I was like whoa and then I looked at him and I said Guess who's not dancing tonight. You're grounded, unless you are connected to me with a nice mellow slow dance. I'm not going out there to dance because as soon as that girl enters your personal space, I'm entering hers.

Kerry: 15:20

You're going to go all Beth Dutton on her.

Chrisy: 15:24

It was intimidating.

Kerry: 15:25

I wasn't going to go. Wait, who was intimidating more wasn't going to go. Wait, who was intimidating more, Chrissy or the bride?

Chrisy: 15:32

That's what I want to know. No, the bride Chrissy didn't have to do that I wasn't going to go up there.

Kerry: 15:38

No, but I mean Chrissy threatening you that if you got on the floor was more intimidating than the bride gyrating on everybody but her now husband he probably really. That was probably the one time where I laid the law down and he didn't think.

Chrisy: 15:51

You know you're being a little overbearing. I think he was like you're already telling me something I you don't even have to waste your breath on. So pretty sure nick did update me shortly thereafter. Yeah, uh that didn't work out there we go.

Kerry: 16:04

The writing was kind of on the wall with that one See, when you were saying barn, at first I'm because, see, I love a good rustic theme and they're lovely and I totally am on board because it's all about what means to you and some of them. They, I mean, they really are beautiful. But now that you're describing it as a, you know, more of engine tractor kind of garage, yeah, that does kind of have a whole different feel.

Chrisy: 16:30

You know how you go to a wedding too, and generally, no matter where you have it in a in, like a rustic theme, or you know a social hall, or maybe even outdoor in, like a gazebo type thing there's a specific kind of lighting that you expect when you know you're celebrating, you're having dancing, you're having a lovely meal yeah, it's usually, generally it's a romantic theme it's a wedding. So usually the lighting is like at a certain level.

Chrisy: 16:57

But this had like Bright LED, because somebody has to work on this flipping tractor. They need enough light here. So the light never came down. I mean it was like you saw every blemish and flaw on everybody. It was like so bright in there I mean it was almost like you stood outside just to sort of get a break from the brightness, you know.

Kerry: 17:17

So wow, hey, it is, it is what it is, but the theme weddings.

Chrisy: 17:21

now you did mention a little bit. Yeah, I mean, have you ever been to anything that you really thought was like really clever, or that you like really were impressed by the idea of doing a theme type thing?

Kerry: 17:30

I haven't personally, but I've known of people that have had them. You know, like this one couple was really into the oh, what are those? Like Renaissance fair, okay, you know. So everyone was, you know, dressed in the Renaissance fair and the, you know, the dinner was goblets and turkey legs and stuff, and so it was. It really was cute. They were really into it, was you know? So I, I totally can get into things like that if that's what they want. I've just never been invited to something like that, right.

Kerry: 17:59

And then I also do know somebody that had a more of a star wars themed wedding so again, I think those are very yeah again, personally not my thing, but I think if that's what you guys both love and everything, I have no problem with themed weddings like that. But I do think it's important to tell your guests so that they know what to expect. Right, so you know, if you send a very elegant, you know calligraphy, beautiful invitation and then you show up and it's a hoedown, that was misleading to your invitation.

Chrisy: 18:30

Well, I do have to say, with the theme idea of that, I think that actually does really speak volumes about that couple getting married. Because they had a connection with something. Probably might have been what brought them together in the first place. So to have a wedding that follows in with that.

Kerry: 18:47

Yes.

Chrisy: 18:48

I think it's lovely.

Kerry: 18:49

I think those are going to be people that would be on the more likely to survive their marriage list.

Chrisy: 18:54

Yes, as long as the bride's not, you know, dirty dancing on all the male guests.

Kerry: 19:02

What's your take on honeymoons? Well, planning.

Chrisy: 19:06

I guess you do a lot of planning for that and where are you going? What you know?

Kerry: 19:12

What do you feel about these people that say well, we're not going to take our honeymoon for two years later? Well, if you really To me that's not a honeymoon. No, probably not at that point.

Chrisy: 19:22

But you obviously feel like it's something, there's a place that you really want to go. But you obviously feel like it's something, there's a place that you really want to go, and maybe the timing is right, because maybe work or other commitments are stopping you from being able to go for as long as you want, right? So you have to delay it, right? Maybe it's a such a an extravagant thing that you dream of that you want to do and you just need to save up more money. You're trying to be responsible with it.

Kerry: 19:44

Right so.

Chrisy: 19:52

But don't call it a honeymoon. No, that's my thing, because by then you've had enough time living together. Although you know people, they're together before weddings anyhow, so maybe it doesn't really matter. But, yeah, they're getting away. Probably just the idea of because you've planned so much for a wedding, yeah, and then just to have the two of you and the noise is gone. Yes, the, the pressure is sort of gone. Yes, I think that it is nice.

Kerry: 20:09

That was the one thing that I remember that you know we used to have this place in Youngstown. That was really, really nice to stay. I'm sure you would probably remember it was right across the street from where our high school was Wick Pollock yes, the Wick Pollock.

Chrisy: 20:23

Inn. That's where I went there my wedding night. Yes, yes, the Wickpullock Inn, that's right, I went there my wedding night?

Kerry: 20:26

Yes, so I remember that was like, oh my God, that was the place to stay. We're going to stay there on our wedding night. Well, that was like one of the worst decisions because, first of all, by the time we checked in and got there, it was already like I don't know midnight, one in the morning, and then we left for our honeymoon that next day. So we had to be out by like eight o'clock in the morning because we had to go do the breakfast and get the car and then get to the airport or whatever. So we got in there, we crashed, that was like there was no honeymooning, but I was like but we didn't even get to enjoy this beautiful place and so I was like, man, that was not proper thinking.

Chrisy: 21:09

Well, we chose that. Like you said that was sort of the place that was highly recommended at that time. The one thing that we did do, because of the way just our flight was going to be scheduled, we didn't leave the very next day to go on our honeymoon, so that Sunday we were still in town. Okay.

Chrisy: 21:30

So you might've got to enjoy it a little bit, so yeah, so we, you know, and the fact that my father said you're leaving and don't come back, so we didn't hang, you know, and so, yeah, I mean, but it was, it was a nice place and now, well, they used to have a big hotel attached to that building.

Kerry: 21:49

Yes.

Chrisy: 21:50

And I know the Wick Pollock very well. On another reason we didn't talk about it I probably should have mentioned it, but it's not there anymore.

Kerry: 21:55

No, it's not.

Chrisy: 21:56

It was the president's house for a while for the. Youngstown State, but they used to have the best Mother's Day. Yes, we went for Mother's Day there for a very long time and I can never say anything bad about it. It was always lovely.

Kerry: 22:10

Yeah.

Chrisy: 22:11

Yeah, it was very nice, but we left on the Monday. Yeah, after our wedding.

Kerry: 22:16

Yeah, you know, and speaking of the honeymoon, I have no problem too with the ones that want to do the destination weddings, because now that to me is even more ideal, especially now as I'm older. It's the same thing. It's just like me and everything else in my life If I want to get away or if I'm having anxiety over big group events, I just go and go on a trip somewhere. Here you go. You can avoid all the dysfunction of all the wedding planning and a lot of the drama, because now only few people are going to probably make that flight to your destination wedding in Fiji or wherever, and the fact that you don't, you're already at your honeymoon.

Kerry: 22:56

Yes, you're already there. Yes, so I have great admiration for that. I have no problem and, honestly, as far as like the wedding day is, it's your day, so why are you doing all this for everybody else, you know. So get there, have your honeymoon If other people happen to be there to see it right, but it's you guys. So I'm definitely all for the destination wedding and getting away and yeah if I wasn't such a chicken about going places it sounds great to me too.

Chrisy: 23:28

The one thing, too, I remember that you kind of miss out on is after the wedding is said and done. We were able to hear the stories of what occurred after with the wedding party generally yes, and I do know that our wedding party, because where we got our reception was at a hall which is still over there, mr Anthony's.

Chrisy: 23:46

Oh yeah, so a big time hall there in our area and across the street from that back in the early 90s was a very popular night spot. Oh yes, nick, you got to remind me of the name of it. It was the Magic Twanger.

Kerry: 24:04

I knew that one.

Chrisy: 24:05

I couldn't remember Big time place and a lot, because of its location next to that hall.

Kerry: 24:12

And now the Magic Twanger is iHeartRadio, which is one of the people that, or one of the companies that, broadcast our podcast.

Chrisy: 24:19

Yeah, no, it's definitely that, and sometimes you have to wonder, because that thing was a multi-level, I know, with all that space.

Chrisy: 24:26

I know have to wonder, because that thing was a multi-level, I know, with all that space, I know, but in the day and we went there a couple of times when it was still the magic twanger, but we didn't go, probably because it was a little bit out of the way and yeah, it was, it was a lot, there was a lot happening, there was, but they had volleyball courts, yeah, and a lot of people were talking about playing volleyball in their dresses, like my br, my bridesmaids.

Kerry: 24:48

We weren't single anymore. That's why. That's why I wasn't.

Chrisy: 24:51

Oh, maybe, but quickly we probably need to check, because we're not talking so much about the dysfunction. Yes, let's talk about all these crazy wedding guests that just get out of sorts and fights and other things. It's people watching it is people watching it is.

Kerry: 25:09

It's just like a funeral. You get the other half at the wedding. So yeah, I've not seen. I don't think I've actually witnessed a fight at a wedding Closer to one at a funeral, but not at a wedding, I don't think I have either believe it or not.

Chrisy: 25:24

Yeah, the one thing I do remember is that there was a person at my wedding who was very much intoxicated.

Kerry: 25:31

Oh yes.

Chrisy: 25:32

Like overly intoxicated. Yeah, and almost to the point where some of the other guests were worried and my boss at the time, who was at my wedding. I remember her coming up to me and saying, coming to the bride to try and intervene with this issue and said you know, so-and-so is really intoxicated. They look like a wet noodle because they're just like not even able to like stand up as a person anymore.

Chrisy: 25:58

They've turned into some other type of creature and they said we're just so worried that she's either going to pass out in the middle of our table or she's going to be sick or something like that. They're like can you really? Maybe you need to have intervene. And I do believe that some people just said it wasn't carrying her out because she wasn't really fighting or anything. She's just, it was just bad. Oh, my.

Kerry: 26:18

So she had to be like basically carried out, and at that time we didn't have Uber, you know.

Chrisy: 26:23

So you just usually park them somewhere, like in the lobby on a sofa until you got to them With a wastebasket next to them. Yeah, and you're like okay, so just hang here, don't move, and we'll get you home at some point. Aw. You know one of our episodes does have to be we're not going to do it today because of time but I just thought of another great thing we need to talk about. I can't believe we didn't think of it. Bachelor slash, bachelorette parties oh yes.

Chrisy: 26:50

I got a doozy with this man sitting over here. I wasn't there, but, boy, I did hear the backstory on it. It's a good one, uh-oh, all right.

Kerry: 27:00

We'll save that for a future one that will have to be coming soon.

Chrisy: 27:02

Yes, I plead the fifth. I bet you do, sir.

Kerry: 27:06

Well, I can't believe it. We did make two whole episodes out of weddings.

Chrisy: 27:10

And I bet there would be. Maybe down the road we go to a couple weddings, yep, there'll be more. We might have some more fun.

Kerry: 27:15

Same with funerals.

Chrisy: 27:17

Same with all of them.

Kerry: 27:17

But hey, we have to talk about two things that are coming up that we have to acknowledge Because it's going to happen between now and our next episode is. First of all, father's Day is coming up this Sunday, so we do want to give a shout out to all the fathers out there. So, dj Nick, happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day, farm boy Jim. Both of our fathers, chrissy and I's fathers, have passed away, so that will be a shout out up to the heavens of Happy Father's Day to them. But we also have coming up Chrissy's birthday is coming up.

Kerry: 27:56

Now, I wish, I could wish you a happy birthday, but I can't. We're a weird place here, yeah, but just to know that her birthday is coming up this coming Tuesday, the 17th. So we'll talk about that definitely a little bit more next week, because then I'll be allowed to acknowledge your birthday.

Chrisy: 28:14

It's really hard because all those people partying hard for Watergate Remembrance Day, you know I am really hostile. You want to know about my husband Having to share. It was never with Father's Day. It was the people who were out there just totally partying for Watergate the break-in. Yeah, you're so funny. Yeah, it was just. You know. Geez, oh man, really, again, I know, wow.

Kerry: 28:35

Yep and anniversaries. Jim and I have our anniversaries. That's right On your birthday. That to me, see, now that's celebrating the birthday thing should take it back.

Chrisy: 28:50

So I'm trying to think, maybe we'll, maybe, I don't know, should I do a vow renewal. I'll say, maybe it sounds like we have some new ideas we want to explore. We do so I think, couldn't it be funny? We could be like the Brady girls, we could have a double vow. Oh yeah, we do our vows together. And a birthday and a yeah, just do the whole thing.

Kerry: 29:04

Woo, carrie Chrissy, woo Carrie Chrissy. Yeah, carrie Chrissy, go, carrie go, yeah. Alrighty, well, what we do want to know is we want to know more about your wedding stories.

Chrisy: 29:14

Share those pictures of your wedding cakes, your, your dresses oh, the one thing I didn't mention real quick, but just to give a credit to where we're from, our area specifically Youngstown, pittsburgh area the one thing we are known for, we didn't talk about it. The cookie table, oh my gosh it is one out of many things that we really appreciate and love about where we're from.

Kerry: 29:37

Yes, and the sad thing is a lot of the women who used to do this yes have gone, unfortunately, but it's still a tradition that a lot of people hold dear, and so if you know about the wedding tape or the cookie table and you had a cookie table at your wedding we want to see those pictures too, yes, so absolutely, and then maybe we can talk about those on our uh thankful sunday episode.

Chrisy: 30:01

Uh next month yes, that would be great all right.
