About this episode

This episode explores a chaotic wedding scenario and the complexities of bridesmaid relationships during family crises.

“He never proposed… but she booked the wedding anyway.” In this week’s wild submission, a bride schedules her own wedding without a proposal, spirals into a blackout reception meltdown, and leaves her guests walking out before sunset. But that’s not even the biggest twist. Then, I dive into a complicated bridesmaid fallout during a real-life family crisis and ask the hard question: where do boundaries end and empathy begin? This solo episode is messy, dramatic, and full of hard lessons. JOIN ME IN GREECE OCTOBER 2026! My new book Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris and Sloan Story is live! Get the book!
