Transcript

 Alright, when I close the door, you're good to go. Okay, thank you.

 Welcome to the Nuptial Nonsense Podcast brought to you by Okanwillah Vinco. I'm Valerie, founder and lead planner of Okanwillah Vinco, host of the Nuptial Nonsense Podcast. This is Riley, my oldest daughter and my co-host. Yeah.

 So, since it's our first episode, we're just going to give you a little bit of, well, not we. Ah, she's not in the wedding business. I'm going to give you a little bit of backstory on how I got there, how it's affected our family,

 our weird family dynamic that we have. And then Riley's going to tell you a little bit about herself, and we'll just go from there. We hope you enjoy it. We're pretty real and authentic, and we just want to show that we're pretty unfiltered also. So, hopefully that comes across okay. But is there anything you want to say? Don't cancel us. Yeah, don't cancel us. Here's your disclaimer. You never have. Yeah. You don't like it.

 Sorry. Sorry. Oh, really? Sorry. Your phone. That wasn't even me. It had to have been. No, it wasn't. Anyway.

 Okay, so I have been running, owning, whatever, the Oak and Willow Event Co. Coming up on two years. It's going to be two years, I think next week, maybe? I don't know. I had no idea. Yeah, I know. Me neither until I thought about it today. But so I got into the wedding industry. I was actually working for a venue, a local venue here. We are based out of close to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and I was working in a venue there. I've always loved a theme. I love a party theme. The go-to person in our family. Sometimes we love that. Sometimes we don't love that. Yeah. Love our family. Just so you all know.

 Anyway, so I started working at the venue.

 Not in a planning capacity, in a different capacity. Got moved into coordination and planning. Absolutely fell in love with it. So it just kind of took off from there.

 And then a couple years ago, I turned 40. I'd always wanted to kind of own an event planning business. And I decided that this was going to be the year to do it. So I did it. And it's been a blessing. It's been amazing. I've had the best clients ever. I've heard horror stories from other, not that I necessarily know, planners and coordinators, but just on the internet, social media, whatever.

 I have been very blessed to not experience any Bradzillas really. So thank you to my wonderful clients for that. On this podcast, it's going to be primarily just tips, tricks, do's, don'ts, crazy stories, some of them funny, some of them like WTF. I have one today. I'm going to tell that Riley has not heard yet. It's not my story. It's somebody else's and I cannot wait to hear her take on it and see her facial expression.

 It's going to be amazing. So, okay, Riley, tell us about you girl. Can I say like the name of the hospital? I wouldn't. So she works at a hospital. Talk me. When I blow up. That's the goal. I was speaking of a pause to sponsor us. Okay. This is at every wedding that I go to. Y'all bought this for me for what? My birthday. I bought it for you. Yeah. Shout out to you.

 We love you. And this I have two. I have another one and actually I have two other a wallas. I'm a water bottle addict. Sorry. For sure.

 I love them. And then my youngest daughter also has the walla that I think you. Yeah. Bought her for her birthday. So look, we're in a wall of family. Okay. Okay girl, your turn. So I work. I'm a tech in the ER at a level one trauma center. It's exciting. It's fun. I'm in school for biology. I plan to go to PA school. Tell us what PA school is for those who don't know. Physician assistant. It's like, it's a medical provider. It's some places it's the same level as a nurse practitioner. Some places it's a little above a nurse practitioner, but it's basically just a graduate level medical provider.

 And I thought I wanted to do emergency medicine with that. So I started working in the ER. And I feel like now that I've gotten into it, there's like, I just, you know, it's different. I love it. It's the best job I ever had.

 But I don't know. I'm just interested in there's a lot. You don't know until you're in it. Yeah. And so I feel like now that I'm in it, I'm like, Oh, well, I could do this, this, and this that I didn't even know existed. So. Yeah. I have a heavy interest in psych patients. They're my favorite. I have coloring pages from them online. Literally in our house on the refrigerator to Riley loves. I'm like, who gave you this girl? Like, who is this from? Yeah. I love them. They're my favorite. I wish I could take them home with me. Literally all she calls me and she's like, Mom, there's somebody here today. I'm not really in the homeless people. Oh my God. Love them. Love them. I have a couple. We're like this.

 So yeah. And I play a lot of Minecraft with my best friend whose name is also Riley. We're the Riley's. They are the Riley's. You'll meet her in a future episode. Yeah. She's messy for the rest of you. Been friends forever and ever. And yeah, I just play Minecraft and I like to read a big reader.

 We have an educated girlie. Yeah.

 It's mostly books about murder, but I hear you. I'm so on brand with our family.

 And yeah, so,

 and I have a periodic table hung up in my room, so don't know if that tells you anything. But is Kimmy's a treat your best? No, but I have, but I have taken Kim to four times. So nothing. It's fine. Whatever. It's totally okay. This next time she's going to get it for sure. Fifth time's a charm. You know what I'm saying? So literally is what it is.

 Oh man. Okay. So back to wedding talk for a minute. So man, weddings are crazy. Like even the smoothest running wedding is never smooth.

 It's literally never smooth. Like I have seen so many crazy things and not even like the bride and groom are crazy. Side note, I do want you to know this. I'm about to preface.

 Here's the preface to this next statement. This does not apply to you and your sister. Okay.

 But let me say this for all the couples out there.

 This is your day and you should do what you want to do. Again, this does not apply to you and your sister. Book the vendors that you want. Do what you want. Except she already has all mine picked out and the DJ picked out for my wedding. I don't even have a boyfriend by the way.

 It's fine though. It's because I know. These vendors personally and I have seen them in action. I've seen them with clients, which is going to be our next episode actually is vendor recommendations preferred vendor list. We're going to go over all the things.

 Please don't go rogue. Y'all please don't go rogue on your vendors. But anyway, I'll try to thought on that. Oh yeah. You should just do what you want to do. That's one thing I will say about me if you and unless you're Riley or Avery. And then I do it mom once.

 You know the comments. She's so controlling. Help me.

 Her children are so unhappy.

 They're not y'all. They're fine. They're fine. Anyway,

 I'm not the planner for you if you want something super traditional and you want to do exactly what your parents want. I'm the planner for you. If you want to do what you want to do, I'm going to honor that in every way that I can. And my job is to be your advocate on your wedding day. Period. I take that very seriously.

 Obviously if you want to honor the input of your parents, grandparents, significant others, parents, whatever, that's fine. We can do that. But like it is my job to make sure you have the day that you want. And unless you're Riley and Avery and then they have the day that I want. Avery's my sister by the way. Yeah. So I have a 14 year old. She has a little sister. She's perfect. I love her. Okay y'all. Actually, she's insane.

 She's such a cutie patootie though. There's something wrong with her. Yeah. She's fine. Sometimes she scares me, but she's, it's fine. She's cute. She, yeah. Whatever. Okay. So I have this story to tell you. Okay.

 And I just, I hope you react the way that I think you're going to because when I heard it, I was literally like, what the crap. Okay. So obviously being in the industry, I follow a lot of vendors. I don't necessarily know them. They're on social media, but you can learn a lot from other people. Like I definitely have a lot to still learn.

 You know, and just some people have way better ideas than I would have never thought of that. You know? So anyway, her name is Lindsay. I saw this story on TikTok. She owns, I think it's called Lady Bird. It's in North Carolina. She like, it's a venue, but they live on the property kind of the way she describes it and some of the pictures. Sort of like a modern barn, that whole vibe that's going on, but they live like on the property. But she's also the wedding planner. So she was saying how she had a wedding. I can't remember when she said,

 but she, they're at rehearsal. So normally a wedding rehearsal, generally speaking, people kind of run them along the same. Like the wedding party shows up, the wedding planner is obviously there. The officiant,

 98% of the time will be there. They probably should be there. It's really great to go over all of their stuff and make sure they know announcements to be made that they're doing what the couple wants, et cetera. Anyway, so she says she walks up to the officiant and she introduces herself and she's like, Hey, I'm Lindsay, whatever. And she says, I'm going to line everybody up and we're going to walk down the aisle and then I'll let you do your thing, which is super standard. Like that's a normal processing for rehearsal. So she said, he starts laughing at her right there. I'd been like, what? Yeah. And she was like, I'm sorry. Like, is there a problem? Of course I'm paraphrasing. I can't remember all the details, but, um,

 so she kind of like repeats it again. You know, he, she might, he makes some like side comment about like, yeah, that's not going to happen. This is my show. Again, I'm paraphrasing, but basically like, I'm going to do this how I want it. Like, you know, whatever. And she was like, trying to be nice and professional. Like, sir, I've worked with this couple. I think she said this particular couple almost two years. And she was like,

 it's very important that like, we get this down, like how she wants it. Like this is important to the bride. She knows. And he doesn't. Girl, it was the bride's future father in law. It was even surprising, not even a little bit. Unfortunately, I think it's better. They was talking to her like this. So she's like talking to the bride and she's like, Hey, this is what the officiant said. And that's when the bride's like, Oh yeah, like that's my future father in law. And of course the Wayne planner is like, okay. Sorry. So anyway,

 she goes back out to him and she's, you know, she's saying like, I just decided to like, let him have it because I didn't want to cause a scene. Like I didn't want to suck become more uncomfortable because like, I'm sure people were probably looking, you know, whatever. So she's like, okay, look, I'm just gonna sit right here, you know, whatever. And so this is the kicker right here.

 She turns around. She being the wedding planner turns around to walk away and the groom's brother throws an empty beer can at her and hits her in the back. Immediately death. Immediately. What?

 That's crazy. Just happened.

 Why? Yes. She didn't say, I mean, there was no context for that. There's absolutely no reason that should have happened. There's never a reason that should happen. I hate men.

 Like please shut up. Always. So she said, of course she's like trying to hold it together because she's like, no, there would have been no way. So she calls her husband who's on the property and she's like, obviously upset and like, whatever. And she's like, Hey, this just happened. You know, can you come down here? And she's like, I mean, he does, you know, and so that's where like part one ends, of course, because you have to like leave it on a cliffhanger. And the comments are like, I hope he canceled the wedding. I hope he told them to leave. I hope he shut it down immediately. Give him a refund. Tell him to go somewhere else. Okay. So honestly, those were all my thoughts also like, yeah, just because that's so inappropriate and so disrespectful and gross and also like, I'm not trying to judge, but like, do you want, do you want to marry into a family? You want to be in? Like that's, I don't know. Like that's not concerning anyway. So part two was like, think about that more. Yeah. Part two was like the husband comes and he just, he's a very big, like six, five. She said like a big presence of a guy, you know, and he just kind of like stood as her body guard. Like, I don't think he actually like did anything. And then she said like, it was fine. And like the wedding went fine or whatever, but like, I don't know.

 Maybe and me, I don't know. I mean, obviously I don't think I would have like canceled the well, number one, I don't own a venue, but I just don't, I don't know what I would have done. Like I know what I would have done. Like it's, um,

 I don't, I just think there's so much to unpack with that. Like there's just so much disrespect and like, there's genuinely no way. And I have had not officiants, but I have had other vendors, um,

 make comments about like, you know, that they think that their part in the day is more important or whatever. And like, I think that's like one thing I really want people to take away is like, we are a team working together to make this event happen for this couple. And like, that is all that matters is like your timeline versus this timeline versus this timeline versus this person's contract. I don't care about any of that crap. I could not care less about that because my bride doesn't care about that today. Yeah. I think I also don't think it's a good idea to have somebody that you know, doing things like that, because like that's stressful for them also. And then to put a job on top of that, like I don't, it's hard to think about other things going on when you have to worry about doing what you're doing correctly. And then also that's like his son getting married, you know, like, but I think people do that a lot. Like it is a lot of, um, grandparents, uncles, brothers, like a cousin or uncle or something like that. But a dad, like, I don't know. Yeah. I mean, it's just considered like an honor basically to like, I mean, I guess you wouldn't want like Poppy to marry you. No,

 thanks for asking.

 So Poppy is their grandfather just for obviously y'all don't know he is a king. He's, he's a good one, but gosh, that'd be hilarious. But anyway, doomsday preps y'all like it's legit. I've said legitimately doomsday. You know, sometimes I think like maybe he's not wrong. Like maybe he's not wrong in that. I mean, it's like, I mean, he's always like, well, when the world does it and y'all are going to thank me and he's right. Cause we won't be here in a real flashlight. That's not true because he's bought you like a bazillion. I mean, I don't know where they are. I fully use my phone. I hope he never listens to this. He will be so disappointed. I don't think he knows how.

 Shout out to technology. I thought you were gonna say shout out to Terry. I don't know though. He's a YouTube fanatic. He might. Oh yeah, that is true. He learned how to build. I don't think we'll be next to the men digging holes in the mud. He loves that so much or like the, what's the other one? Ancient aliens. Yeah. You watch like tree house buildings on HGTV and like that should have been the subtle foreshadowing to like two men and like it really escalated from there. Like that's my bad for supporting that behavior. Oh y'all. Gosh. Anyway, it's considered an honor basically to have people like that, that are close to you to like marry you. But I get what you're saying. It is sort of like a, I can see how it could be like a conflict. And I actually have. A conflict of interest is what I was thinking. Like we're not allowed to take care of people we know at work. Like it's stressful and it's personal. It's not. And I have had somebody before, like a couple before that asked like, I can't remember if it was one of their dads was a minister and they asked and he declined. Like he was just like, I just want to be able to like enjoy the day and like, you know, have like quote unquote responsibility. Which like that does make sense, I guess. Because it is, I mean, well yeah, you want to be able to enjoy it. I mean, that's the same as like Isaiah's wedding.

 Yeah. Which is my nephew. Yeah. I'm excited to go as a guest. You don't have to like work the wedding for sure. That would be, I mean, I wouldn't have worked at myself, but um, well just because like I love him so much and like, I just want to like share in that with him and you know, yeah. I mean, I definitely could have done like the before the handwork, but like the day of absolutely not. However, I feel like I'm going to be sitting there critiquing like everything that happens that day. Like I'm going to have to remind myself to just like be in the moment for him and not like why are those flowers like that? Why is that candle-stick crooked? Which I'm sure her coordinator is amazing that she has. I don't know who it is, but I'm sure she's going to do. Yeah. She's fiance.

 You know, she's shout out Clarissa. We love you.

 Um, you know, she likes nice things and she likes to look nice. I'm sure like whoever it is is going to be top notch. You better read. Okay. Because that's my baby nephew and I would ruin the world for him. Okay.

 Um,

 I think any other story you want to tell us any art story? I'm trying to see what your, you all had to make the list. Oh yeah. We already did that. Yeah.

 I don't know. I have a lot of stories, but I'm like, what is one that you like? I don't know. You have listened when I tell you. So it's not true because I go to work and I tell them like I think it's okay. What's one that you think? I mean, I don't want to tell one where somebody like, you know, it's still here. I don't think that's like, no, no. Yeah. I think more so like about your coworkers. I think that dynamic is like the funniest part of it all because it's literally like such a shit show all the time. Oh yeah. Sorry. Whoops. Um, yeah, it is because they let a bunch of 20 year olds run the ER, which whatever. I mean, I think it's because y'all have the energy. I'm said 21 year old. So because at 42 there is no, okay. That's a lot because I don't know. I'm older. Like, like there are nurses that are in their thirties and forties, but, um, those are also the ones that have been there since they were my, like they've been doing that type of nursing like that's their college. Yeah. Like they couldn't do anything else. And um, I think it's that they couldn't, I think it's they don't have the desire to do so. I mean, yeah, I'm saying like they've been doing it for so long. Like you wouldn't want to do anything else. Yeah. Um, but like all the doctors and stuff, except for all the residents are young. All the attendees are pretty much old and they're so cutie. They're just so cutie. I love them, but some of the residents are crazy and they like,

 I don't know. They just are crazy. And like, it just cracks me up. Cause like you think they're like, be professional guys. And then like the security guard and our charge nurse are like wrestling behind the like charges. And I'm like, guys, this is allegedly, this is all alleged. That's never happened. That's just like, this is an area. If you're listening to this, don't fire me, but, um, that's my boss. I love her most of the time.

 But anyways, yesterday a psych patient told me that I had to fire Stephanie and I was like, I'll get right on that. And I was like, Stephanie, you're fired girl. And she was like, I didn't make the cut. And I was like, no, I hate it for you.

 Um,

 a lot of times we'll like, I don't know. A lot of the stories are like, I'm professional. I don't want to get this. Yeah. Maybe we'll have to come back to that the next episode. We can like go through some and like, you can pick them out. I will say this though. I personally feel like you having this job because I mean, you worked at other healthcare settings before this one, obviously what like an nursing home, assisted living. Yeah. I worked with, I love old people like I, so that's really all I've ever worked with before this.

 Um,

 I feel like that's like, here we are. Part of my calling is like, uh, even like when we have psych patients that are like dementia psych patients and not like crazy psych or like crazy. Is it derogatory? Drugs, psych.

 Anyways.

 Um, I love them. They're just, you know, I don't know. I just love older. I'm also really close to my grandparents. So I think that's where that comes from.

 Although they're not that old, but they're older than me. I mean, obviously has been old my whole life.

 I mean, Lord.

 Anyway, but, uh, I don't know. I, my rally always asks me if it's like Grey's Anatomy and I would say to the degree of like, to a degree, yes. It also cracks me up now when I watch like medical shows and I see them doing CPR and they're like,

 and it's nothing because I would, it doesn't have better. Yeah. And if you're not doing it, they will tell you that like, you need to do it more. And I'm like already sweating. My glasses are sliding off my nose.

 Actually don't have any more to give. Um, but I hear you, but yeah, one time we, like, we have the life force, like helicopter and one time I had to get on top of somebody and do a CPR like on the way down, I was sweating. Is that, is that protocol? Are you actually supposed to do that?

 I don't know. If not, it's a lead. I like it like that. I'm not the only one that does that. So I'll take you all these things are alleged. Yeah. Um, but anyways, so.

 Yeah. I mostly like being out front, like in the lobby because I like being around all the people most of the time. Sometimes I don't. Um, but most of the time I do and I love people. Like I'm a big people person. Y'all since she was little, like I would be like Riley get stop talking to that strange man to be my friend and I know it. I can feel it in my bones. I don't know about that. My bones.

 Um, so I don't know. I feel like, uh, it's just like when you, you know, when you're like, you know, when you are where you're supposed to be. And I feel like I have never fit in more than I do there. You mean the, why? Because y'all are all a little bit crazy. I know. Like that is something I have determined since you've worked there's like to be in the ER, you have to be a little bit like, like something's not. We were joking yesterday because one of our providers like, uh, asked me a question and I was like, no, like sarcastically. And she just looked at me and walked away. And one of my coworkers shout out Rebecca. She's my best. She's my work wife. Love her. Uh, she was like, I think she like might be a little on the spectrum. And I was like, I think everyone here is actually, and she was like, it's a requirement actually. Literally. I was like, yeah, honestly, I honestly think everybody on the planet is a little bit on the spectrum. Like we all have our little quirks and like things that make us. And I love how diverse everyone is in the ER, but also like there's no like, I don't know, we're very much a family.

 I would say very much so. But I mean, there's always the one or two you don't like, but. That's everywhere in every situation ever in your life. But it's like, everyone dislikes them and it's not just me. So it makes me feel better.

 Oh my gosh. Okay. Certainly back to weddings for a second.

 I digress. It's fun. So I think that's how we always are though. Like our conversations, I thought this podcast, our whole life, our like family discussions are very like, um,

 ding, ding, ding, ding. Like they're all over the place. Like we have a very hard time saying, um, subject or, um, completing a story without telling 15 other side stories, like with the one story. I don't know. Is everybody not like that?

 No.

 Um, I mean, Riley's my only friend. So the only one I have to go out. We do love you like part of the family. So, um, anyway, so I think moving forward, we're going to talk about the next episode specifically, we're going to talk about vendor recommendations, like I already said, we're going to have some special guests on here. Um, one of my favorite makeup artists has agreed to come chat with us. Um, you'll love her. She's so sweet.

 Um, one of my musician friends, um, is going to come at some point. I got someone to talk to. Oh, one of my associate coordinators, Hannah Riley. Yeah, I'll get there. One of my associate coordinators turning with Hannah. She's going to come chat with us sometime. Hannah, my God y'all. So Hannah got married in this past March. Um, and she was her own wedding coordinator,

 which she has now said is the craziest thing she's ever done and does not recommend whatever works at all. That's before she, um, started working with me and I think now she's had a whole new like, okay, there's a lot more that goes into it than I actually realized, but you know, she handled it. I think her mother-in-law helped her a lot. So anyway, we'll hear from Hannah.

 Um, Avery, we can bring her on here one day. She's not much of a dog. Y'all that would not work out. She just sits there looking at you with a blank face. Not much of a talk. No, but the other Riley will join us at some point. Um, she's going to start helping me out doing some content creation, maybe some social media stuff. Yeah. Follow her photography account on Instagram. It's a.

 Yeah. What is it? I think it's Riley Jordan photography. R L E E. Yeah. Jordan. I think it is Riley Jordan. I think so. Follow her. She's good. Yeah, she is pretty good and she's really sweet. She's her and Riley, him and friends for, I don't even know how long we've got to get her to tell the story about you in middle school though. Like don't tell it. We have to get her to tell it. It's so funny. I've had, I've lived a lot of lives. Y'all live to be there. I made it 21. Yeah. Um, but yeah, if there's anything you guys want to know, want to hear about, want to hear, you know, somebody you want to hear from specifically, um, any questions that you have, like I'm more than happy to try to take those, um, into consideration, I did post on the Oak and Willow event, co Instagram. I think last week or maybe a week before, um, asking people if they had any questions that they wanted answered. Um, yeah, we could do like a Q and a piece.

 They did ask them, but, um, I can't remember what they are. I can't remember what they are. Um,

 I'll, I'll have to do that later. I'll write them down or something. Cause I'm trying to remember now if I wrote them down or not. Anyway. And this is 3d printed in case you were curious.

 Did he say that? Yeah. Okay. I knew it. Oh, okay. It's Kenny. I know. Um, yeah. So this whole podcast is being brought to you by, um, build something media. We really appreciate them. Um, they are local here to the Chattanooga area. I'm excited to be working with them. They're super helpful, super nice.

Yeah, literally. Um, but yeah, we're just hoping for a good time. Um, it's always going to be chaotic because we're chaotic. Yeah,

 literally our lives are chaotic. Um, if you have worked with me at a wedding, if you have been one of my couples, you know, I always have my black water bottle. These sunglasses are usually, excuse me, microphone on top of my head. Um, I'm always looking for my clipboard and I'm always looking for my phone because I can never seem to keep up with them. My team is amazing. They have learned me so well now if I'm walking around looking clueless, they're like, Hey Val, your phone's over here. Hey, I have your clipboard. It's, they're phenomenal. Um, but yeah, we're always a little bit cuckoo, but we're here for a good time. Um, as far as wedding planning goes, it's important to me. It's an honor for me every time a couple chooses me. Like I remember the first couple of times, like I booked somebody on my own. I was literally like in tears. I was just so excited and so appreciative and like, I don't know. It's just been amazing. But join us for the next episode. We can't wait to be back with y'all.
