She booked the wedding date, only the whole month is included.

I am joined by Samantha Blake to share how her love for dramatizing everyday absurdities turned into viral content, starting with her Coldplay CEO satirical video. Together we dive into the world of mothers and the weird assumptions strangers make on them and their kids.

Samantha then shares her own wedding photography nightmare, where it unleashed harassment of a maid of honor, leading to legal threats, and a mother-in-law who completely hijacked her wedding cake.

To top off more wedding dramas, we read a listener's submission about two brides whose wedding dates turned an entire friend group upside down. Sparking questions about entitlement, and whether anyone can really claim a wedding season.

Is wedding planning bringing out the worst in people, or simply revealing who they really are?
