It's Halloween week, and Molly and Jessica trade ghost stories from the wedding venues. They cover Chicago's Congress Hotel, the Drake and the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. Molly shares her own spooky night at River Roast, and listeners share a story about a haunted painting and a gear-buying trip that almost end up like a real life horror story.

Contains strong language and a few heavy topics.

Whether you work weddings, are planning one, or simply enjoy a good behind-the-scenes story, this episode offers plenty of laughs—and a few reminders of what can go wrong when no one’s really in charge.

Millennial weddings can be super sloppy, Gen Z weddings can feel fake, and one bride just asked if the emcee would hide behind a curtain. If you work weddings or just love a good behind-the-scenes snark, this episode is for you.

Molly and Jessica unpack their most recent weddings and get into the curious new obsession with aesthetics over reality - including TikTok requests, late night snacks, stereotypical mother of the brides, and the unforgettable question: why do people want to hide the band?
