Hey lovebirds, welcome to For Better or Worse, a podcast where we talk about all things weddings. I'm Bryce. I'm Manda. We're married. And we like to talk about weddings, right? Yeah. I don't think so. Over the last, like I would say a lot during last season and now ramping up again during this season. I've been seeing this meme that I just I really, really enjoy. And it is hiring a witch off of Etsy to craft a spell for your wedding day.
SPEAKER_00I don't think it's a meme. I think people are actually doing it.
SPEAKER_02No, okay. So it's a meme, right?
SPEAKER_00I think it was a meme, and then people were like, I think this is a great idea.
SPEAKER_02It's the other way around. It is a thing. Um, and then Etsy updated their pology or their policy for metaphysical like services and stuff like that. So it became a meme of like, you know, people were like hexing hexing politicians or you know, hexing their ex-boyfriends and stuff like that. Um, and then it spread to weddings, and now it's become a thing because I I dove onto Etsy and I perused for about half an hour looking at different hexes and stuff that were related to wedding days, and I've come up with a list of 25 of them. That's a lot. We're gonna we're gonna do we're gonna rank them. Okay. So we have, you know, uh S tier, A tier, B tier, C tier.
SPEAKER_00Like what would be like the most worth it to spend money on with a witch for your wedding day? Got it. Yeah. That's what we're doing. Yes. So which one would be the most worth your money?
SPEAKER_02Like, which one would you I think it's it's a diminishing return kind of thing? Like the money doesn't matter if it's a good enough spell. Like, like if it's a if it's a spell um that keeps the grandma that you hate away from the wedding, that's she's invited though. Is she invited though? She's gonna show up. Yeah, but then she gets sick and she can't oh, she can't come. Okay, that kind of stuff. Okay, all right. Right? And and that's all that's all witchcraft, which by the way, just making sure everybody knows, I'm very superstitious, and I think all of this, like witchcraft, tarot card readings, all that stuff, I think it has some merit to it in a sense of-if you know what you're doing, yeah. If you hire the right, if you hire the right person though, I think it's one of those things that can give you peace of mind, and I love people who have peace of mind. So you just rank them either we'll do it like four tiers S, A, B, or F. Like if it's a total bad one, you put it in F. I'll keep track as we go, okay? All right, let's see. Very first one is a wardrobe malfunction protection spell, which it ensures zippers hold true, buttons stay fastened, and spells or and spills magically bounce right off the wedding attire. A. A tier?
SPEAKER_00A tier, yeah. Because I mean, there's a whole bunch of things that can easily go wrong early in the day with your dress. Zip, I mean, you get your dress from somewhere that maybe isn't super reputable, but it's a beautiful dress, and you don't know if the zipper's gonna hold, spend an extra$30 and why wouldn't you just make sure$30 is that is pretty steep.
SPEAKER_02Pretty steep. They're usually on sale for like six, maybe ten. The hexes?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like the the protection.
SPEAKER_02Super custom one is probably like fifteen to twenty dollars.
SPEAKER_00Then I will I will do that. I will put that at A tier. That's a good that that's a good thing. Because you're wearing that dress all day. You got the dress for the wedding. That you know, it's you know, usually like around here, it's it's a white dress or a light color dress. A tier.
SPEAKER_02Got it. Next one is happy party atmosphere spell. Uh to banish stiffness and invite an atmosphere of pure celebration, infectious happiness, and lively community.
SPEAKER_00That's an F tier. It's not my fault you associate with these people. Just because you normally hang around with people that are sticks in the mud, just because I put a spell on them, doesn't automatically mean it's gonna look like that scene from Hocus Pocus where everyone's kind of dancing, then all of a sudden she just like, dance until you die, and everybody's just like, you know what? Something's happening.
SPEAKER_02I feel like that's the I feel like that's the worry is that if you if you have somebody cast a spell, then that's what's gonna happen. Nobody's gonna leave. And you want people to start leaving during the wedding so you can start playing the dirty songs.
SPEAKER_00But I mean, like, if you have like stick in the mud friends, or like you only invite like old it looks like a retirement party, and you know people aren't gonna dance. I don't think spending an extra couple dollars is gonna change that.
SPEAKER_02F tier.
SPEAKER_00F tier.
SPEAKER_02Got it. Yeah. Um, the third one is no awkward speeches spell to magically tie the tongues of any relatives who might be tempted to bring up an awkward story, X's, or inappropriate opinions during toasts.
SPEAKER_00F tier. Yeah. You have people for that. You have a DJ that will not give people the microphone.
SPEAKER_02It's not to, it's to make sure that who you have selected for because you know, God knows we've listened to some speeches that where we're like, then I'll do C.
SPEAKER_00I'll do C tier because it's like these are things to just talk about with your people. Like, if you're like, yeah, Mikey's probably gonna give a really, really awkward and appropriate speech. Who should I talk to? Him and maybe go over talking points with him or spend money on an Etsy witch. Yeah, talk to your people.
SPEAKER_02We've had C tier. We've had groomsmen like best man's that have um shout out to the ones, and you know who you are, um, who have commented on their grooms, their best friends having relations with dogs. We've had grooms compare, say like all of groomsmen. We've had groomsmen and best man's in the speeches go, oh, your new wife's way better than the sock that you had growing up, huh, buddy? And it's like, give me a gun, let me die now. Holy shit, that's a worst. So I I think this is I'm not gonna be.
SPEAKER_00What's even worse is when you have somebody who's just like, I didn't write anything down. Comment is heart's coming from the heart. Here's looking at you guys, and everybody's like, Woo!
SPEAKER_02The next one is first look tears spell. The intention is to open your partner's heart so fully or so fully that the overwhelming love and gravity of the moment hits them all at once, and sharing a few beautiful tears the first time they see you on their wedding day. These are dumb. People are selling them, and which means people are buying them, which means they can't be dumb. You can only buy smart things, babe. There's no such thing as a scam. S A B C F.
SPEAKER_00See, like the thing is you should know this by this point. Like, if you have like if you're marrying somebody who's just always like, uh on your wedding day, they're not gonna be like I don't know the words. Like, it's it's not gonna be a thing. Oh my god. And I don't think these spells can do this. Not that I'm like skeptical, but it's also like you're gonna be even madder if they don't cry because you're gonna be like, I spent dollars for you to cry.
SPEAKER_02Oh, so that's the hookup is that like you I'm gonna be even more pissed money on you crying so much. Exactly. Cry.
SPEAKER_00That's what I think. Like you're you're setting yourself up to be even more disappointed. Like, just tell him to fake it.
SPEAKER_04Number five is beautiful. Wow. Go ahead. That's all it is. I'll do it for a sick real quick.
SPEAKER_02Ready? Sorry, I'll do it for the couple.
SPEAKER_04Oh my goodness, beautiful.
SPEAKER_00Maybe maybe five, six dollars is worth it. We got family peace. Aww. Aww.
unknownWho does that?
SPEAKER_02Family peace spell to soften hearts, encourage patience among family members, and keep drama at bay so everyone focus on celebrating your union. How deep is this family drama? I think even the closest family ties will tap their feet during a day when we're all like it's hurry up wait, and then we're like, oh my god, we're just sitting here. I got dressed half an hour ago, ready to go, do stuff, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00Like, I think if it's just like a, you know, we all are gonna be getting ready together, we're gonna be together for like two or three days, like let's say this spell to make sure that we all stay calm. But like, if we have like dad who's like three wives deep, and you have a whole bunch of step siblings, and all the stepmoms are invited, and they all have to be in the same room, and uh nothing's gonna stop that damn from breaking, man. Like, but if it's just like a general thing, I'll put it at B tier. Like, if it if it gives you that peace of mind of like, you know, we're being calm, we're all getting ready. Like a lot of people follow the couple's energy. Like, if the bride is really stressed out, everybody's gonna be like, we gotta do things to help the bride. We're all in, we're all fighting. But if she's like, I don't mind. It's okay, get ready. We're okay. Then everybody follows suit.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So it And especially like vendors can can help harmonize that too. For sure. I've taken a mom out in the hallway too many times and hey, real quick, can I have your opinion on something? Yeah, no, real quick. I'm I'm thinking that like maybe we should take the this little board here and put it on the other side of the aisle. I think more people would see it, and they're like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00You know, meanwhile, the bride's like in her room just being like so you got C tier for that?
SPEAKER_02Is that what you said? B tier? B tier. I think that's good. Introvert recharge spell. The intention is to create a calming bubble around you and your partner, allowing you to quickly recharge your social batteries when the crowds get overwhelming.
SPEAKER_00So this is the go to the bridal suite spell.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, this is go five five minutes after your married spell.
SPEAKER_00This is the go sit in the limo for five minutes spell. This is the have a eat a moon pie spell.
SPEAKER_02That's what we did. We had a recharge spell. We did. We kicked everybody out of our limo and we were like, we're taking this alone. We haven't seen each other since like that morning, and it our what our what our ceremony was at 5 p.m. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04So what did you put that one at? I'll put it at B tier. B tier? Okay.
SPEAKER_00I'll put it at B tier just because like maybe it will remind you, like, I spent money on, you know, making sure I'm giving myself time. Maybe this like thing going off in my head that I need a minute is that. All magic is about suggestion.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. You know, you need a little mysticism and suggestion in order for magic to work.
SPEAKER_00So you ever seen bed knobs and broomsticks?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yes, I have. Well, yeah, with the knights. But go ahead.
SPEAKER_00I think I have a dog hair in my mouth. Hold on.
SPEAKER_02Even the most dumbass grooms, if you were like, I spent money on a witch to, you know, um make sure that like we get some time during the day to ourselves. It'll be a suggestion in the back of his head through the day of like, oh, I remember you know, oh yeah, look, I'm getting a little overwhelmed.
SPEAKER_00I should probably take a minute.
SPEAKER_02Which. All right, this one's this one's a gimme. It's a gentle weather spell to invite beautiful weather. S tier. Yeah, be clear, skies, and gentle breeze, and ensure you both embrace whatever the elements bring with joy.
SPEAKER_00S tier and it's we're actually getting married in the rainforest in the height of monsoon season, but I spent six dollars, so it's not gonna rain. Yeah. Gotta be you gotta be pretty uh realistic about it. Yeah. Like if you're getting married in the height of winter in upstate New York, could be a blizzard. Probably snowy, it's probably gonna be cold. Could be, so you know it could happen. But if you're pr if you're putting it out there, so it's like we have a lot of people traveling in, and some people are flying, and the weather might not be the best. You could hope.
SPEAKER_02Um S tier. I think that's I think that's good.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I think it's the most like thing that you have no control over or anything like that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. But a witch totally would. We got the good hair day spell. The intention is to target the moisture in the air directly around you, ensuring your curls hold, flyways remain subdue, and the frizz is completely banished.
SPEAKER_04B.
SPEAKER_00I'm getting married in the summer and it's raining today. But there's a protection spell around me, so only I won't be affected. Like, I'm I get so easily disappointed when things do not go my way when I plan for things to go that way. So all of these have me just so pessimistic that it's like, and I paid an extra ten dollars, and look at my hair. I look awful.
SPEAKER_02This day is ruined. I feel like some of these are just like hire a good hairstylist, get some hairspray. Yeah, get some hairspray. Um, you can can you use like um statics? Yeah, like static garters or frizzies, frizzies. Yeah, like glue down your hair, dog. No, right?
SPEAKER_00Just do it like they did in the 50s. Make it just it doesn't move at all.
SPEAKER_02Get a hairstylist for potentially like what do they charge? Like$100 a head, maybe more for the for a wedding day. Yeah. Six dollars for a uh witch's hex. Not a hex, a blessing. When when they're it's it's a hex if they're witches. If they're witches, it's a hex. If they're blessing you with a day, they're practitioners, spiritual practice. Practitioners. Yes, that's what I learned today. Uh vendor teamwork spell. This one's good. The intention to align your vendors, planning caterer, DJ, photographer on the same frequency. So they work together seamlessly and anticipate your needs. Just want to note that on this Etsy listing, they did not list a videographer, which puts it the F tier for me.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Maybe we should reach out to them the next time we have a wedding and we'll do that and we'll see if it works. Yeah. And we'll be like, you didn't list videographers on your thing, and we're videographers, so does it still work?
SPEAKER_02Just roll up and we're like, fuck all you guys. Like, we're gonna get it doesn't upload to us. I'm leaving my in front of the DJ booth. I'm getting in front of the photographers, f all of you.
SPEAKER_00We walk in and they're all in like this weird calming circle holding hands, talking about like how they're gonna work together today. And we just walk in and just shove them. We're like, we're here.
SPEAKER_02A bunch of losers play duck duck goose in here, huh? Got a wedding to film. See ya. Losers. Uh, what did you put that one at? It's an A-tier one. It's an A tier one. Cool. I like it. The perfect vow spell. No. To clear your nerves and steady your voice so you speak your vows clearly without stumbling when words land deeply into your partner's heart.
SPEAKER_00Bro, just read it in the mirror a couple times. Practice your pauses, let your friend hear you read it. Don't write it the day before.
SPEAKER_02Your vows always sound way more special if you're tearing up through them, especially in the video. Crying always looks the best in video. Sometimes it's ugly in in photos, sometimes it's annoying as DJs to have to listen to all like the muddle and the breath and stuff like that. But for video, it's awesome. So we got the be in the moment spell to anchor you both in your in presence, slowing down time just enough so you can actually feel the joy and remember the details. This is the dumbest thing ever. These are real.
SPEAKER_00I know they're real.
SPEAKER_02These are real things I found on Etsy.
SPEAKER_00But this feels like this feels like the better, the Betty Crocker bacon fill. Like it's just like it's bogging down.
SPEAKER_02It's a baseball on the outside, but inside it's ice cream. That's what you're saying.
SPEAKER_00This is giving like aqua doodle. Like, this is giving like the Benderoos. Like the what am I what am I spending money on at this point, man? Like, hi, I'm gonna spend six dollars so that my husband loves me on my wedding day.
SPEAKER_02Like, I don't, I don't get it. Pick a better partner. Yeah, don't get to this point with a shitty partner. How about that? This is C tier for me. Eat your own wedding food spell to align the universe so that you and your partner actually get to sit down, taste, enjoy the beautiful food you paid for without being pulled away.
SPEAKER_00These are pissing me off.
SPEAKER_02These are real.
SPEAKER_01You can buy them. Just sit your ass down and eat. Have vendors that speak up for you. Have people that are like, you have a maid of honor, you have a best man, you have a mother.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, if we're there, if we're we're there, you have us. Remember, we had uh Ellie Seth's wedding, yeah, where people were trying to mini mouse, Mickey Mouse them by looking at the wheel.
SPEAKER_00They were Disney prince and princesses. Yes. And everywhere they went, somebody was stopping them and taking a photo and wanting to speak to them, and they hadn't eaten yet. Yes. And we were like, no, we're like, come on, we're gonna go sit down and eat. You can talk to them after they haven't eaten. It's their wedding day, you want them to eat, right? Like you flip it. You don't want you guys, don't want to be the people that are the reason their food's cold, right? And that they're hungry all night. Like they still have dances to do. These are your let them eat. You got to eat already. Let them sit down. Her feet hurt, you know, like it's good.
SPEAKER_02I think, I think, what did you put it at? Stupid. Stupid? I think I think it's a good tier to have because maybe that's a suggestion. Maybe Ally and Seth paid a witch for us to protect.
SPEAKER_00Ally and Seth did not pay for a witch.
SPEAKER_02Unless it's me and I am the witch. Empty bathroom spell, or sorry, this this is I wrote the name, but I rewrote the thing because I I misread the intention. The no bathroom spell, and is the intention is to bend time and space at the venue's restrooms so that you never have to take a break to use the bathroom.
SPEAKER_00So we're just this is the UTI spell? This is the UTI spell. This is the I'm gonna get a UTI on my wedding day spell.
SPEAKER_02You gotta be careful it's not Cinderella rules so that like there isn't a time when the clock strikes midnight and then you piss all over the floor.
SPEAKER_00Just like girls hit you, I lose.
SPEAKER_02What's wrong, Stacy? It's midnight, isn't it?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you're not gonna be able to get it. I must go. I must go, must go. Goodbye. Goodbye.
SPEAKER_00And he's like, oh hurt. I'm not picking that up to find out.
SPEAKER_02Somebody spilled on the dance floor. Are you gonna mop out here? That's a lot of spill. That is an F tier.
SPEAKER_00Take a piss, girl. Go piss, girl.
SPEAKER_02Um, let's see. I'm gonna skip that one because that one's stupid. We got the no exes allowed spell, the energetic bouncer that ensures no uninvited exes, former flings or ghosts of relationship past, even think about texting you or showing up.
SPEAKER_00Why would that even be a thought in your mind? Like there is no what?
SPEAKER_02Some people, some people have that problem. Some people have, you know, uh textured pasts, um, where they had to go through the mud. Why? That's well, how many dollars an hour for a bouncer?
SPEAKER_00Could you imagine if you spent$10 on a witch to like hex your ex to keep them like just like very sedentary on the day of your wedding? And then like they actually do show up, and you're like, no, no, no, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch. I paid a witch. Like, let's see what they do. They like walk up through the aisle during the vows, and they're like, I object. And you're like, no, no, it's coming. Let's let's see what I'm saying. And just like a dragon comes, like Shrek style, and you're just like, hold on, any minute now.
SPEAKER_02Staying alive, staying alive. Explodes like Abigail style. Stop. But that's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_00Like, that's they're like, hold on, hold on any second now. They just like turn to stone. You're like, proceed.
SPEAKER_03Anyone else? No.
SPEAKER_02Get out of here. Get out of here, Derek. Um, we got the no stress crying spell. The banish anxious anxious tears, ensuring that you only cry. Um, you're sorry. To banish anxious tears, ensuring that the only crying you do on your big day is born of overwhelming love and happiness. The Xanax spell. Yeah. Papa Zanny.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Like this is the I sometimes I get nervous on airplane spell.
SPEAKER_02I feel like a good affirmation would do better than this. One. What do you rank the X bell?
SPEAKER_04We didn't rank it. C tier. These are pissing me.
SPEAKER_02It's an S tier if it kills your X, but it's C tier. C tier.
SPEAKER_00No, we are not paying for murder. We're paying for just like keeping them sedentary. I'd say it's like a C tier because it's just And the no stress spell.
SPEAKER_04B.
unknownGot it.
SPEAKER_02Um we got the well-behaved toddler spell to gently guide any children in the wedding party so they walk in a straight line down the aisle instead of wandering off and eating the flower petals.
unknownWhy are they there?
SPEAKER_02The eating the flower petals part was a worry in one of the reviews of this. Why are they there? If you're worried about a kid eating flower petals.
SPEAKER_00Why is your kid there? Why are there toddlers there? Why do we have babies there?
SPEAKER_02I'm all for child-free weddings. I think child-free weddings run the smoothest.
SPEAKER_00Now don't get me wrong. If you're like, I really want my niece to be my flower girl, and like I babysat this little boy for two years, and he's gonna be the ring bearer, he's just my little buddy. Who is the designated handler of the tiny human?
SPEAKER_02The moon spirits.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah. Oh, S tier then.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, the the chakras and the Earth's magnetic alignment. I'm so pissed off.
SPEAKER_00That's that's the guide for the child. This is the lollipop and handler spell. This is all could just this all could be handled with just planning. Just physical planning of the day.
SPEAKER_02We got a packed dance floor spell to strip away self-consciousness for anyone who stops on onto the dance floor, compelling everyone to dance freely all night. The open bar spell? Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00The open bar spell. That's that's all this is. That's that's what it is. That's it. Like, how am I gonna get people to want to dance and lower their inhibitions and have just like a good adult time? Melikanam, nam nachu, nachu, melakanam.
SPEAKER_02Like it's I burned some sage. Come up on the dance floor.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like you guys don't normally dance, but like Mambo number five's on.
SPEAKER_02Um, we've got the on-time arrival spells to warp off traffic jams, flat tires, and delayed flights, ensuring all your guests and vendors arrive safely and exactly on time.
SPEAKER_00If it gives you peace of mind, it's S tier. I'm so over this. This is the dumbest, dumbest shit ever.
SPEAKER_01Mom, why are you late? I paid the witch for the traffic spell.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that'd be something that's like I I've actually cut off my mom right now. We're not speaking anymore because I paid a witch to make sure she got to our wedding on time, and her and my stepdad were fing late. So I'm not talking to her. She fought the spell. We've got the perfect wedding cake spell to alter laws of physics around the dessert table. Sharing your cake absolutely refuses to melt, lean, slide, or track rogue elbows. And I'd like to add that I think that this is this is C tier mostly, but if it keeps people from stealing desserts from the dessert table before you cut the cake, then it's S tier.
SPEAKER_00It's F tier. If you're like, yeah, no, like we're having an ice cream cake for our wedding, and it's a summer garden party wedding, and we want the cake on display throughout the whole cocktail hour so everyone can see it. And I paid a witch, so it's not gonna melt. Like you're setting yourself up to be sad. However, if you really want to like do like if if your dessert hex spell blessing is to keep old people away from the cookies until the dessert table is opened. I'll be that witch. I already am at the wedding. Nope, nope, the couple has that. There's a sign here that says please wait for the couple. And they're like, they're not gonna know. I'm like, they're gonna know because I'm gonna tell them.
SPEAKER_02Back, back, or I'll turn you into a frog. Get away from me. Get away, Grandpa Joe.
SPEAKER_01I have the power of God and anime at my side.
SPEAKER_02What uh what do you put that here?
SPEAKER_01S tier.
SPEAKER_02S S tier? If it keeps people away, hell yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Um quickly. Here, watch out, Lilo. Alright, I got a very last one. Alright, let's see. And the very last one is the happy marriage spell. The intention is to weave your lives together the long long after the party ends, blessing the marriage itself with mutual respect, enduring passion, and unshakable friendship.
SPEAKER_00This is like trying to save your marriage with a baby. Like maybe if we have a baby, he'll stop cheating on me and commit.
SPEAKER_02Like maybe if I hire a witch to babe, we can make this work. I hired a witch. And he's like, she's like, is she cute?
SPEAKER_00What'd she look like? Where's she based out of, huh? That is an F tier. If you need a witch to solidify your marriage, just get a good lawyer.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, to make sure you make sure you make that annulment, dude. Same at this point, just hire someone for a prenup. Alright, that ends our segment of F-tier ranking witches' hexes for your wedding day. You can get all of those on Etsy, by the way. So if you want to get them on Etsy, go right ahead.

SPEAKER_00So third major city.

No, we're trying to have a wedding in every major city in the country. Um, so if you're in a major city and having a wedding there and you need a wedding video, check us out.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so yesterday I was on a weddings group on Facebook. Like, you know, they have like Orlando Brides, Brides of Indianapolis, like that kind of wedding connection and blah blah blah. So I was on one and I saw this post, and immediately the second I see like attention or whatever, this one, I'm immediately like, what happened?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, give me the juice.
SPEAKER_00Warning for any couples getting married at the wedding venue, venue place. Okay, because I'm not saying the name of it.
SPEAKER_02Can you give it like a generic name?
SPEAKER_00Wedding venue.
SPEAKER_02Wedding venue.
SPEAKER_00Got it. At the wedding venue. I had my reception there in January at the wedding venue, and over$4,000 in cash and checks were stolen from our card box. We later learned that another couple the following Saturday had around$3,000 stolen as well. If you're getting married there, I highly recommend having someone monitor your card box or moving it to a secure place during the reception. I'm sharing so other couples can take precautions and hopefully avoid the same situation.
SPEAKER_02Holy shit. Yeah. That's bad. We wouldn't have been able to go to Disney if everybody if somebody stole our money.
SPEAKER_00I know. Isn't that crazy that we paid for our honeymoon just like the night after? Yeah. You're just like, all right, we got the money for it. We're going to Disney, baby.
SPEAKER_02Like weddings are an investment because you get money back and you can go on a honeymoon. That's crazy. Are they implying that it's somebody like staff at the place?
SPEAKER_00Or are they or is it like Well, somebody, well, that's the thing is so it happened Saturday at their wedding, and then she also found out that somebody the who was there the following Saturday, same place, same, you know, everything, had money stolen as well from their card box.
SPEAKER_02Jesus Christ. That's wait, how many, how much how do you know how much money you had? So that's what I was gonna say. Like the money was stolen.
SPEAKER_00How do you know? Like, unless like they left the cards there. Like, hey, Uncle, Uncle Max, um, you said you got us a wedding gift, but the card was empty.
SPEAKER_02How much did you give us because it's empty? They probably f factored in how much people usually give for weddings. Maybe, but who knows? I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Unless it's in the comments. I just screenshotted all the comments for the thing. Because it's I mean, when I when I got into this, it had been posted 21 hours ago and already had over a hundred comments on it. Ooh, jeez. So, like it had already been going strong. Nice. Okay. So somebody commented and said, My nephew got married uh on the second Saturday and had six thousand dollars stolen from cards.
SPEAKER_02From the same place?
SPEAKER_00No way. Yeah. It says this is public and it was like charges were filed. Uh, somebody said it's clearly employee employees um at that point press charges and bring people to justice. Somebody, and then the uh the author, the bride, said, you know, we have an ongoing police report going, and other couples have filed something. Unfortunately, the venue has no indoor cameras.
SPEAKER_02Well, why is this a thing? If we were to get open a venue, which is something that we've talked about before, if we were to open a venue, the very first thing we're doing is installing cameras.
SPEAKER_00Security is like of the utmost importance because it all falls on you liability-wise.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. Insurance thing, somebody gets into a fight in the parking lot or whatever, and they want to sue you because they got hurt in the parking lot or something, like having cameras there to dispel that they were off your out of out of your indoor property or whatever would completely take care of it. Or if people break your shit and you do insurance claims, they're gonna want videos of it. You know, it's important. It's very, very important. That's insane not to have cameras in your wedding venue, especially the very first time a card box gets stolen from you. Get a ring camera and just put it where your card box is or something.
SPEAKER_00So somebody actually does suggest that in the comments. That like they make apparently they make card boxes that have cameras on them.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, which is kind of cool. But it doesn't matter if they take it's like it's like portable safes. It doesn't matter if they can take the safe with them.
SPEAKER_00You know, no, they don't take they they leave the card box, they just jack some of the cash out of it. Um, somebody said somebody commented and said everybody one star that place, and I disagree with that because you don't know who did it. Who knows if it was like, what if they had the same vendor for like you know something in common, vendor-wise, and it was a vendor that was doing it? Who knows if it was a random staff member? Who knows if it was somebody who just lives in the area and is like there's another wedding there? Yeah, I could easily walk in with a suit and tie, and nobody would have any idea who I am. They'd be like, who was that? Do you know what I mean? Like maybe they would just like not because like I wouldn't recognize everybody from your side when we got married. I don't know. I've that person doesn't look familiar at all, but also I don't know half the people anyway.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So like you could easily walk in. I'm not suggesting that this is how you do it, but like watching a whole bunch of crime shows and movies and stuff like that. Anybody from anywhere can just walk into a public place and do things.
SPEAKER_02A lot of the time, people nowadays will have their wedding ceremony as a separate crowd from the reception. That does happen. We had a wedding where they had it was it was party crasher invite, right? So it was like, well, like 40 friends and their plus ones that joined the reception after dinner. Yeah. So they didn't have to pay for dinner. But they could still party. But they could still party and drink. Yeah. And drink. And they were wasted, and it was so like incomprehensible. It was insane. And like there were a whole bunch of-kicking us, they were elbowing you. They were just it was like a club at that point.
SPEAKER_00It was no longer like a wedding reception, it was it was uh just a party. It was crazy.
SPEAKER_02Very respectable golf course, by the way. I just want to say it was there, and they allowed that, which was just crazy.
SPEAKER_00Um, so somebody said there's no footage on outdoor cameras of anyone entering or exiting the venue that we don't recognize. The card box was placed in the back of the venue next to the employee kitchen door, and it would be a long walk for some random guest to get the card box unseen by any guests.
SPEAKER_02Who is is is that a bride? That's the bride who posted it.
SPEAKER_00Um, and then somebody's like, sounds like there needs to be cameras everywhere. I'm sorry this happened to you. Um, you know, a bunch of people are like, just contact the police. Clearly, people don't read comments. Um uh somebody said, as a wedding uh coordinator or planner, part of my timeline is I collect the items from the card box and give them to a designated family member, like a parent or a grandparent. Um, somebody's like, we remove the cards from the box twice during the reception and before cleanup at the end of the night. After talking to friends and family members whose cards were stolen, we put together a timeline and they were all uh put in during cocktail hour. Uh we removed the cards around dinner time, hoping to prevent that this happened. So this was like the first slew of cards. Yeah. Makes me wonder if like somebody just moved them and then they got chucked. Do you know what I mean? Like, who who knows? It's terrifying, but like that kind of stuff happens. Then somebody said you can find out who it is when they cash the checks, right? Like a whole bunch of people give checks. So, like, if you're cashing them and you have like the name out on or they just don't.
SPEAKER_02A lot of people do cash. Well, yeah, but I'm saying we had a lot of checks.
SPEAKER_00We had ours was 90% checks.
SPEAKER_02I didn't say 90% checks. We still have them. It was pretty it was pretty a good amount of checks.
SPEAKER_00So um somebody said as a wedding planner and a DJ, we always recommend that they put the card box inside the main room, preferably near the DJ, because they they rarely leave their spot.
SPEAKER_02That way I can take it when I want to steal it.
SPEAKER_00Well, no, but I mean, like if you think about it, a lot of the time, like when you think about like a venue setup, when you walk in, it's like there's a sign that says, like, welcome to the place, you know, welcome to the wedding of blah, blah, blah. And then the table's right there. Like, it's like the memory table, and then like the guest book in the card box. So it happens right there, but that also gives a really easy opportunity for somebody who's, you know, sticky fingers to snatch it and make their way out with it.
SPEAKER_02Ah, shame. Your grandma was hot. Anyway, I'll take this.
SPEAKER_00That's awful. The bride said we requested to move the card box, but they insisted the card box stay in the location that they request, which we trusted, knowing they had no prior incidents. So the venue said, No, this is where the card box goes. And somebody said somebody's like, that's extremely shady in hindsight that they insisted on keeping it in that location. I'm sorry, you're dealing with this.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I'm sorry too. Oh my god, I wish I could do something. I would if I heard about that at a like a past wedding, I would I wish I would wish I could do something about it. You know what I mean? Yeah, and somebody I would like to go through all the footage and see if we could see anybody that we didn't recognize.
SPEAKER_00Somebody says it's 2026. How are there no cameras in this place? That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02Insane. You can go get if you're especially if it's an indoor venue, then that means it's not just like a pavilion or a tent, right? It is not. It is so that it is a venue. That means that is like a dedicated venue, which means you're probably spending ten plus thousand dollars to go there at least. That's like at minimum to be in there, and they can't take uh you know a thousand dollars from that, spread out through all of their weddings and all their profits and stuff like that, and install cameras. That's bullshit, dude.
SPEAKER_00Hold on, I'm gonna show you what the venue is real quick so you can see.
SPEAKER_02How does this place not have cameras? I'm looking at the venue right now. It is it is kind of like a it is kind of like a ballroom style uh banquet hall style. It's a banquet hall, it's a banquet hall for weddings.
SPEAKER_04How are there no cameras in this place? I see plenty of corner for cameras. I I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Listen, you okay, so in this picture, this is an official picture from their website. In the background of this official, like they hired somebody to take a picture of this place. In the background is an exit sign, like a big red exit sign. So if you're worried about aesthetics, you have the big red exit sign, just put the camera right there next to it. You know what I mean? Corners are fine.
SPEAKER_00Or there's or there's I there's freaking um smoke alarms all over the place.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, there has to be I I don't under I don't understand. I don't get it.
SPEAKER_00Give me real quick. Yeah, I don't believe that there's no cameras because so many places are like sorry, I'm looking to see if there's any like on the ceiling that are like actually there. But it just doesn't make any sense how there wouldn't be cameras in a modern place like this.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, exactly. I I wouldn't believe I couldn't believe it. I would section out in any of my loans to buy a place or anything like that, I would section out money to get security cameras. Not only is it just peace of mind for all of your couples, but it's peace of mind for you if anything like this happens.
SPEAKER_00Exactly.
SPEAKER_02And now I also know that there's nothing that we can do now that's a bigger f up than that, than having a venue have multiple brides and multiple couples have their wedding gifts stolen, the cards and stuff, and to be like, God don't have cameras. Dumbest shit I've ever heard.
SPEAKER_00It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. Sorry, I'm seeing if any, but a bunch of people are like, let's leave them one-star reviews, and I disagree with doing that because we don't know what happened to bombing them with they're gonna delete them and be like, This person wasn't even here.
SPEAKER_02They're just gonna delete them because you're not there, you haven't been there. If you're a couple that was affected by this, but go by all means, go right ahead. Um, if it gets their attention, because it's the best way to get their attention, I think.
SPEAKER_00So um somebody says, like, I can't believe you waited this long to tell us about it because this was this wedding happened in January, and they just posted about it like two days ago on social media. It's not too too.
SPEAKER_02So the bride says probably we're talking to people. Go ahead.
SPEAKER_00The bride says, I agree. Uh we have waited more than five weeks to respect them and their business and did not want to bring it to social media until now, so we can try to work something out with them. Unfortunately, their lack of compassion and respect is the reason we have brought uh it to the attention of others. Um given how easy communication was with them while planning the wedding, we were sure they would be helpful and understanding, but that was not the case. They also don't understand how hard it is to look back on what's supposed to be the happiest day of your life and having it tainted by thousands of dollars missing. I wouldn't wish this on anybody. Um somebody's like, well, what do you want them to do?
SPEAKER_02There's insurance.
SPEAKER_00Somebody says, Where's the proof that there were stolen cards? Everyone's blaming the venue. It could have been a guest. Uh, our venue had the a box bolted to the wall. Multiple different there's a whole bunch of things.
SPEAKER_02There are multiple different weddings from the same venue that's had this happen.
SPEAKER_00There were two, like one weekend after the other.
SPEAKER_02I'm no detective. So it's either somebody from the venue or it's somebody proven if they had cameras. What the hell? Well, they're going for the you can't prove it wasn't me defense. There's no evidence until a photographer like has a picture of the venue older owner. Like a lot of venue owners leave hours before the event and they leave like their their head of coordination there or whatever. What is stopping if if you know Vicky the venue owner or whatever is like we had pictures of the box there at you know 9 p.m. but by 9 30 it was gone and Vicky left at 9 15. Yeah, it's like I it's like a Facebook ad game where it's like I'm no detective, but I think I can figure this out.
SPEAKER_00Somebody in the comments was like, Who's still giving cash or checks at weddings? Don't you have like a Venmo option? And somebody's like, We have that option, and five out of eighty people used it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's when SR you living in the future. God, we'll meet you there when we get there. Sorry, it gets worse.
SPEAKER_00Oh. Somebody's like, I worked there. My sister got married there. My friends have gotten married there. I've worked hundreds of weddings there. Never have I ever seen something so absolutely ridiculous and wrong. The owners are hands down the most wonderful, thoughtful, caring human beings that I know. And to accuse them of stealing money from you is absurd and childish. Why don't you take a look at the hundreds of people that were in the room at the time of your wedding? None of them could have done it, huh? Ridiculous. Grow up. And the bride's like, I also have many ties to this wedding venue. My husband's cousin and my sister-in-law both worked there for years. My sister-in-law got married there. My very good friend is getting married there at the end of the year. My post is to make sure brides do not make the same mistake I did and have extra precautions with their card box. Um I don't want them to experience this, blah, blah, blah. And someone sounds like sounds like you're accusing the owners of a lack of compassion and whatnot. Maybe it's coming across that way because you completely blindsided them with this and they have no idea how to deal with it because it's never happened before.
SPEAKER_02But now it's happened five times.
SPEAKER_00And then somebody goes, uh, from these comments and police reports, it's not like it's happened multiple times. Oh man, she goes, No, this sounds like a setup. All these people coming out of the woodwork within the last 24 hours saying this has happened before. No. They would have been shouting it from the rooftops as soon as it happened.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Well, maybe they were trying to compile a case.
SPEAKER_00Other comments say that police reports were filed at the same time as their wedding. Uh, so although they may feel comfortable sharing because of this post, their posts, their reports were already filed on various dates. It sounds like a very wise thing to have someone monitor a large box of cash at a wedding venue. I'm sure they're they're hit spots for crime. Um, and somebody's somebody goes, uh three times that we have just on this alone. Uh, January, February, and the end of February. I believe it's public record at the police station. And she's like, You guys are just being childish. Leave them alone. Leave Brittany alone. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02You guys are just pointing fingers. Who knows who could have done it? There are trashy guests, I'm sure, would have done it at every single wedding. But three weddings in a row within a month. Yeah, that's a little bit sketchy. So uh man, that's a great, that's a great little vendor bender, baby. Thank you for bringing that up. I appreciate it. If you find any vendor stories that are funny that or dramatic or anything like that, please make sure you send them to us. We have scoured the internet trying to find a bunch, and Manda's been really, really good at finding some good ones. But if you see any on your local drama, you know, internet wedding connection Facebook group or something like that, please send it to us. We'd love to hear about it. Let's move on now to something that you came up with. Um, why don't you introduce it?
SPEAKER_00Okay, so at our wedding, we got married on New Year's Eve, and our big thing that we wanted to do was we knew we were having dinner at like what 6 37? Yeah. We were partying until midnight. We were partying until midnight, uh, because it was a New Year's Eve wedding, obviously. And I was like, we're gonna have to bring in food at like 11 o'clock at night to make sure that people aren't just like dying, you know, drunk and sad, waiting for the new year or whatever. I needed to keep the party going. So we were like, we need some kind of late night snack, late night, like second easy dinner. Yes. So we decided on pizza. We just ordered 10 party-sized pizzas, and we're just like, everybody just grab some pizza, hang out. We're just, you know, we're getting there. Everybody grab your beer, have some beer. It was great because it was so nice because we had been dancing and chilling, and then all of a sudden, all these pizzas showed up, and everybody ate a bunch of pizza, and then we kept going.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it was it was great. And then people took pizza boxes home at the end of the night because we we got like like two.
SPEAKER_00We had a lot of pizza left over, but people were just like, can we take uh yeah, take it back to your hotel, man?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we took we took one, we did pizza and cupcakes, tell the money in our underwear, it was amazing. It was so awesome, and I think that everybody, if you're if you're planning on having like a later night, and this isn't for everybody because sometimes you have families that don't party as hard. You really have to take that in consideration.
SPEAKER_00It wasn't like a matter of like partying hard necessarily. It was just like I didn't want the party to end because people were losing energy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they weren't I I didn't want them being like, Yeah, I'm hungry. All there is is cake and beer. Exactly. Like I wanted there to be like an option to have people be like, I'm hungry right now. Like, we should get out of here and hit up a Wendy's. Like, no, I have something. Don't leave my party yet. I spent a lot of money on this party. Like, there's food.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You know, it's a thing.
SPEAKER_02So having a good midnight snack is a midnight snack. Yeah, we're calling it a midnight snack. I think I've seen other caterers call it like a midnight snack too, even though it doesn't have to happen at midnight. But having a good late night snack for your wedding day is very, very important. And Manna and I have come up with five of the best ones and five of the worst ones each. Yes. Uh, I haven't shared my list with you, you haven't shared your list with me. I have a feeling I know what's on your list. Okay, okay. I think I got a couple surprises, but I do have a couple honorable mentions first for good ones. Uh well, they could be on mine. Okay. Um you can you tell me if it's on yours, but for an honorable mention, in because we're in the Rochester area, I have garbage plates. We have seen that at weddings. That's always a good thing to have late at night. Tastes great with beer, tastes great after you've been drinking.
SPEAKER_00It's messy as hell, though.
SPEAKER_02I get it.
SPEAKER_00There's a meat sauce that goes over the top of it. There's mustard, there's onions.
SPEAKER_02It's it's having build your own garbage plates would be a bad idea, but the two times we've been build your own garbage. Well, it was it was two times we had it, it would they were catered. They gave us little tiny containers. And we only put like they gave us what we wanted. You could say, like, can I have a garbage plate?
SPEAKER_00Can I have a scoop of this? And it's it was cafeteria style. Yes, you didn't like make it yourself.
SPEAKER_02My next honorable mention is chicken and waffles.
SPEAKER_00I think chicken and waffles is a great late night option to just like just like one like waffle wedge wedge and like two chicken, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah. I guess it could get sticky though, it could get messy. It it could. I don't mind a dry chicken and waffle as long as the chicken is good, valid. So, um, and then just french fries. I think that is on my list.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that is on my list.
SPEAKER_02Where is it like you have do you have a one through five?
SPEAKER_00I don't have it like one through five. I just have like I have my good and I have my bad list.
SPEAKER_02I think just french fries is a great one to have. What is your reasoning for having just french fries?
SPEAKER_00French fries. One, they're easy to put into a container in the sense of like you just have like a little thing. You could have them on like a little plate thing, you could have them in like a cone, you could have them in little bags, you could just eat them with your hand.
SPEAKER_02Like you could just have like french fries, breadbasket full of just french fries.
SPEAKER_00They're salty, which is awesome. Get people to drink more, and they're also filling without being like weighing you down. And everybody likes french fries, and they smell good and they're warm, and it's just like a good thing. Like they will call to you. Do you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02Um, okay. So I'm gonna start.
SPEAKER_00But what's your first one?
SPEAKER_02We were let's do best, best, worst, worst. So one of my you had that on your best list. Yeah, french fries are on my best. What's what's one of yours? One of my best, and and this is just a game because we already talked about it, was delivered pizzas, but not pizzas from your caterer.
SPEAKER_00No, no, from an actual pizza.
SPEAKER_02From an actual pizza place pizza place, I think is way better than a caterer. Sorry, caterers. Um I a lot of the time when we've had your pizza, it's just not it's just not like the best pizza you could have when you're drunk. It's like pizza I would order from a pizza.
SPEAKER_00It's a bacteria pizza. Yeah, exactly. It's more like it's more like mass-produced, like instead when I think of like a late-night pizza, I think of ordering it from a place, opening the box. It's steamy, it's delicious, and I want that vibe. Yes, that's the vibe I'm looking for, is that you know, one guy tossing a bunch of dough. How many was I supposed to make? Like that's what I want that energy coming out of my pizza.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. Go ahead. What's one of your worst?
SPEAKER_00Like okay, so it's a great option, but I think it's I think it's too messy, and it's the tacos. That's a hot take. It's the reason being is because I'm thinking about the timing. Nobody's sitting at their tables anymore. Yeah, nobody's sitting anywhere, they don't have the cocktail hour stuff set up. Tacos are a jam. I love when we have gone to weddings and dinner is a taco truck. Or dinner, dinner is like a make your own taco right here type thing. Like somebody makes it fresh for you. Love it. Because then I go sit down and I can eat over the table. I have a napkin on my lap. I am mentally prepared to eat this taco. However, if I am sweaty, a little bit tipsy and have been dancing, and I'm just standing there eating a taco, I'm gonna be a mess. Yeah. I don't have anywhere to set it down, I don't have napkins, I don't have anything. So for a late night snack, I don't think taco is a good option. Dinner, late night, no.
SPEAKER_02Add on to that, because this was the number one on my worst, not the number one, this was the first one on my worst list. Is any sort of food truck, I think, is a bad late night snack at a wedding, solely because it pulls everybody off of the dance floor to go outside. Yes. And if they're going to choose between eating and going back inside and eating, and their car's right there, we could just leave, babe. Like they're gonna choose that. Let's let's grab the thing and go time. Yeah, we'll go eat it in our car and then we don't have to pay for it, and then we can just get in our car and leave.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, and everybody's already outside, so we're leaving.
SPEAKER_02So I think at the the detriment of like you food trucks are awesome because it's out of your hair and somebody's getting the food done, and that's like awesome. But at the detriment of like everybody leaves the dance floor, and then suddenly, where did everybody go? Yeah, we're not ever. I fed them to leave. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so um, so and tacos, a lot of food trucks are tacos and and of stuff of that. So I would put that at the the same level. You got one on your best list? Pretzels. That's a good one.
SPEAKER_00Hot, soft pretzels, just like the things that are on the little carousel in there. Yeah, somebody goes salted or unsalted, you know, and then you got like your little mustard packets if you want it. It's a handheld, not messy thing. Even if you get the little cheese cup thing, you still can just dip dip. It's two hands, it's not gonna go everywhere, it's not leaking. Little salt sprinkle somewhere, you're good.
SPEAKER_02But it's probably cheap too. It's probably like a really cheap one that that's and honestly, even if caterers did it, it's a pretzel. How do you go wrong with a pretzel? It'd probably be good. Uh, my next best one is hot dogs. I think late night hot dogs, but not again, not catered hot dogs. If you're gonna go for gold, hire a ballpark hot dog guy that walks around with the case like hot dogs, that dogs.
SPEAKER_00And they're already like they're already wrapped and stuff like that. And then you can have you can have your own little condiment place or whatever, but once again, it's not as messy as like there's not falling parts off of it. But then you have to be really careful. Like, we're not gonna have onions, we're not gonna, it's ketchup or mustard. That's it. It's just a quick thing to eat and get back on the dance floor. Exactly. The burps are gonna be pretty gnarly, though.
SPEAKER_02The burps are gonna be pretty gross. That's okay. It's it's a it's a wedding night. There's already a lot of smells going on. So yep. What's it? What's another one on your worst? Ice cream. I think ice cream. I'm gonna lump in cookies and milk along with ice cream.
SPEAKER_00I've seen that. I've seen that too.
SPEAKER_02Gross milk. Because it's like, what are we, cats? Ew.
SPEAKER_00No, it's not even that. You've been drinking so much. Imagine adding milk to that same with ice cream crock pot of your belly. Ice cream, I don't think of as much because it's like I wouldn't, once again, it's gonna freaking melt. And all of us are gonna be like toddlers at like the father-daughter dance, being like, I'm sticky, but girl, pitch, hallelujah!
SPEAKER_02Like it's gross. It's yeah, it just wouldn't mix well with their belly. I like having ice cream at a wedding. So if you want to feed your venerables, I like it for dessert. I love I love having ice cream. I like it for dessert. Like some people like a late night snack. Not a late night snack. I agree. Right when the dance floor opens up, if you want to roll out an ice cream card, yes, hell yeah. People can have an ice cream before they have a whatever. That's that's a good one.
SPEAKER_00Yes, but not for a late night snack.
SPEAKER_02Um, I said cookies and milk. I think that is just awful. That's just disgraceful. Like, who wants to fill their belly with milk while they're dancing full of beer and stuff? That's just up chuck city, dude.
SPEAKER_01Do you imagine just being like, yeah, they got milk? Babe, they got milk.
SPEAKER_02Like, what receptacle do you put it in? Babe, come on.
SPEAKER_01Stop dancing with milk. Honey, they have milk.
SPEAKER_02Do they have a hundred cups of milk? Do you have one big punch bowl of milk? If it's skim milk.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, what if you imagine that if they throw it up? That's what I'm saying. Like, it's one of those things that makes me nervous.
SPEAKER_02What's another one on your best list? Churros. Churros is a good night snack.
SPEAKER_00They're warm, they're somewhat filling. Like if they make a mess, it's just a little bit of cinnamon sugar. It's not gonna go everywhere. They're hot, so it feels like you're kind of getting like something fresh, like meal-wise, but it's just another handheld, easy thing that you can just go and grab.
SPEAKER_02Hell yeah. Um another one of my best is grilled cheese station with a panini press. Ooh! I think it's a high risk, high reward. I think a lot of drunk people is in a panini press.
SPEAKER_00It's like an uncrustable. Yeah. It's all kind of like self-sealed.
SPEAKER_02I feel like you can man like a staff member, like kitchen staff, to you know, make sure nobody's just giving yourself or whatever. But I think having like a plate of cheese, a bunch of uh like two different kinds of bread, like one hardier and one more white. Yeah. And then having you be able to, you know, press a grilled cheese would probably be like one of the best late night snacks.
SPEAKER_00Well, I mean, even if it was somebody who was just making them fresh, cutting them in half, and then like bing bing.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Do you know what I mean? I've seen that. Yeah. Or that's like a thing.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I think that's I think that's probably sounds other than delivered pizza. I think that would be my number one. No, what's one of your worst?
SPEAKER_00Okay. So it's not bad. It's not bad, but I hate them, and it's s'mores. It's s'mores. It's I don't, I don't like it's for me, it's purely the mess of it. It's like, oh yeah, look how like and then it's sticky and crumbling and melty and gooey, and it's on your face, and now you're just like, are your burn girls?
SPEAKER_02S'mores are the best idea until you are about to put it in your mouth and you're looking at it like, ah they're messy. How do I do this?
SPEAKER_00They're messy, and I don't like messy on wedding days. I don't like the idea of becoming yucky.
SPEAKER_02I've had some good s'mores at weddings, but or it's low tier for me. I completely agree. Yes. One of my on the worst list is is chips and dip. I think chips and dip as a late night snack is not only like what is it?
SPEAKER_00I feel like it's disrespectful. What is this?
SPEAKER_02The Super Bowl? Like, what is it?
SPEAKER_00I feel like it's disrespectful at that point.
SPEAKER_02I wouldn't want to have like an acidic salsa-y kind of thing going on. No, no, no. Chips are probably pretty good.
SPEAKER_00Down for like putting out like baskets of individual like little bags of things. Like you've got Lay's and Doritos.
SPEAKER_02It's a pretty good idea.
SPEAKER_00Just like like airline style. Yeah. Like big one. Go through and do that. Because that way, like, it's small and it's your own little thing, and it's okay.
SPEAKER_02People can people throw it away themselves, and then it's whatever. Yes. That's actually a great idea.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's not even on my list, but like if you're gonna do chips, like you want to have a whole bunch of chips and stuff like that, that's how you do it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I think so. Do you have another best one?
SPEAKER_00I think mass ordering like Wendy's or McDonald's is a thing. Just have some pe just, you know, like they have like the catering bags and whatever, just a whole bunch of burgers, whole bunch of nuggies.
SPEAKER_02I had that too. Like happy meals catered. Yes, happy meals is exactly what I wrote down. I saw it on Reddit, and I was just like, that's a great idea.
SPEAKER_00I saw it on Pinterest that people had like little happy meals brought in. And I think it's great, just a whole bunch of you know, little tiny, you know, you open it up, you have your small little food, a little thing of fries, just eat it and dance.
SPEAKER_02So good. I you know, and contradictory to your tacos being the worst earlier. I think Taco Bell would be a great catered one because they're all in the little packages.
SPEAKER_00Everyone will be vomiting, everyone will get indigestion so bad.
SPEAKER_02We have catered happy meals and also like a Baja Blast dispenser. That's fine.
SPEAKER_00Yes, that's fine. Yes, they I feel like you could probably just request to have Baja Blast at your bar.
SPEAKER_02That's a good idea.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Write that down, write that down.
SPEAKER_01Is anybody listening?
SPEAKER_02I had that as one of my best too, was catered fast food. So that's that's really good. On my worst side, I I saw this twice in on Reddit when I looked up like different late night snacks for wedding days. Clam chowder is probably one of the worst ideas you can have.
SPEAKER_00So my worst was anything fish related. Yes, anything fish related, but also don't you be on clam chowder.
SPEAKER_02Clam chowder is arguably one of the greatest foods ever. See, if somebody who comes from from after you've been dancing and sweating on a floor full of beer. I disagree.
SPEAKER_00Just get a cup of chowder to oh my god. Sorry, I'm a New England girly. I am uh I am born in born and raised in Massachusetts. If it was to be 11 o'clock at night and whatever, and somebody was like, yo, they got cups of clam chowder and oyster crackers, I'd be like, oh, you're telling me Jesus is in the building? I'd probably I'd I it's it's oh my god, it sounds so good.
SPEAKER_01I can't knock it out. Late night cup of chowder.
SPEAKER_02Are you kidding? I can't knock it until I try it for sure.
SPEAKER_00But I know for a fact that with your blanket that you got from like the ceremony and your little cup of chowder, like oh I know for a fact that I'd be worried that I would eat too much chowder because I love clam chowder. You don't have a bowl, it's just a cup. You just uh so good. My thing is anything fish related, so no fish sticks, no phala fish, no shrimp, nothing like that late night. Yeah, nothing fishy. Can you agree?
SPEAKER_02Calamari, no. Can you agree that that it would be a bad late night dance floor snack? I think it's a great thing for a wedding, especially a fall wedding. I don't agree.
SPEAKER_00Late night cup of chowder is probably the best. Lelo, what do you think? Lelo, if if the chowder's good, stay still. Who knows what's up?
SPEAKER_04Two to one. Um what's another one on your worst? Chinese food. Really?
SPEAKER_00Late night Chinese food, I think only because I think about the bloating of it all. Because people will overindulge. Like they'll be so excited that there's Chinese food, it'll just be messy and bloaty, and then no one's gonna want to keep dancing.
SPEAKER_02What kind of Chinese food? What are you talking? When you're talking to Chinese food, are you talking like the assortment or are you talking like the the three American staples and like what? Like lomain or something?
SPEAKER_00I'm thinking like like some type of lo-main, some type of fried rice, and some type of like Imagine. Could you imagine sitting down and having beef and broccoli after dancing and then being like, Yes, let's keep dancing. No one's gonna want to get up. The whole reason you're doing this is to fuel another hour of dancing, and this food is just gonna make everybody fall asleep.
SPEAKER_02I guess, I guess I forget how much Chinese food bogs you down until after I'm done eating.
SPEAKER_00The whole reason is to keep it going. It's supposed to be fuel, feel good fuel to keep you dancing.
SPEAKER_02As much as I hate to agree with you, because I love Chinese food. I will live off of Chinese food if I could, but Chinese food was my like choice of birthday for growing up was to go to a Chinese buffet.
SPEAKER_00But that's just dinner.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00You have time to sit and digest and whatever. This is just to keep the party going.
SPEAKER_02I'll agree. I'll agree. And I think I'll throw in.
SPEAKER_00For that purpose only.
SPEAKER_02I think I'll throw in on my side, my last worst one is a mac and cheese bar. I think is a really bad idea for a late night keep the dance floor going.
SPEAKER_00It's not gonna keep the dance floor going. No. And my worst one goes along the same thing baked potato.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. You have that on your worst list, really.
SPEAKER_00For the same reason.
SPEAKER_02For okay.
SPEAKER_00I'm gonna eat a baked potato with a whole bunch of fixins and stuff like that. And then I'm gonna sit down.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I'm gonna have a I'm not gonna dance.
SPEAKER_00If you give me a hot dog, I'm wolfing that thing down, and then I'm ready to limbo. But if I'm sitting there with a baked potato, I'm sitting down and eating it. I'm not standing up and eating it. I'm I'm actively taking bites. I'm enjoying it's cheese. It's it's wonderful, but I don't want to dance anymore because I just ate a baked potato. Dancing clean. Exactly. Exactly. But if I but if I'm dancing with like a Big Mac in my head, like you know, like a like a cheeseburger or something like that, something that's wrapped or whatever, I'm gonna keep dancing while wolfing a hot dog.
SPEAKER_02I get it. You know what I mean? Yeah, straight up. Yes, straight up. I think burgers are great. This is not an sliders, not burgers. Sliders are great. I think burgers are fine, like a medium-sized burger. I'm talking like a like a McDouble sized burger or like a dollar menu.
SPEAKER_00Something that's six bites or less. Value menu because six bites or less.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. I think sliders are a bad idea. They're not on my list, but I think sliders are a bad idea.
SPEAKER_00I mean like size-wise, something small. Yeah. Few bites, you're back out there. You're not gonna eat like four of them. You're just gonna have a couple bites of something and go back out on the floor. Yep. That's the whole reason for it. It's not for a second dinner, it's not for a second sit-down moment. It's just to you're not done. You're dancing! Eat something and get your ass back out there. Oh, pizza? Whoa! When she dance, exactly. Yes.
SPEAKER_02My last best one is a very like specific one for me. And if we could do it all over again, I would have pushed for this. Chicken wings. No, it's not chicken wings. Even though I I think chicken wings would be great, but I understand that chicken wings would probably not be great for a late night snack because the food and the sticky and stuff like that. Yes. I think the last best great one is uncrustables or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
SPEAKER_00I think that goes with my bags of chips.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, exactly. Just pop just six bites or less. Yeah. Here's some uncrustable. Down and uncrustable and then get back out there. Yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Exactly. Once again, it's a small handheld thing, not a not a huge mess. Easy to hold on to, easy to dispose of.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_00Light but filling.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_00Those are my chips. You can have chips and uncrustable. Cute little. Maybe we'll put some juice boxes out. Like we'll all have, we'll basically have this like a little it'd be cute.
SPEAKER_02That'd be so sick. Right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So I'm with you on that.
SPEAKER_02Oh, good. I'm glad. Nice. I thought I would have to argue my point. No! Okay. So when we do our like our 15 minutes, think about when we went to Disney.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. It was right after the fireworks. It's like 10 o'clock at night, and a lot of the restaurants were still open, but we needed to go because we wanted to get on more rides because we only had two hours in the park. We got kids' meals. We got uncrustables, grapes, and a small thing of fries, split of soda, and while we were running around, we were able to hold it in our hands and it didn't weigh us down, and we could still ride roller coasters.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. Exactly. This is the best. And and all of them were like still a little partially frozen, so the peanut butter was like a frozen disc. Nope. That ruins it for me. I hate that.
SPEAKER_00I like when there's a lot of things.
SPEAKER_04There's you're blending into the wall behind you. Right?
SPEAKER_02And uh I think I think that covers my list of late night snacks. Scratch my nose. Yeah, me too. Awesome. I think obviously our opinions. Um, if you want to have our opinions. Argue with me in the comments. If you want to have those kind of late night snacks at home, or not at home, Jesus. If you want to have those kind of late night snacks at your wedding, and you think it would be better for you and your party, then by all means go for it. But I just from our experience. This is from us. I think I know what on a dance floor people what I would like to throw up to or be like, well, whenever we've seen them at weddings, do you want to go get some cookies and milk like before we leave? And um, make sure, hey, porterhouse guys, make sure you video guys, make sure you grab cookies and milk before you leave. And I'm like, No! Just throw up immediately. So, yeah.
SPEAKER_00If you have had any types of these, you know, any kind of snacks like these, or you've had something that wasn't on our list that worked or really did not work, please let us know.
