We did a church wedding, which I think a lot of our friends were like, what? I have to sit through a Catholic mass. We chose that because we're both raised Catholic. And it was cheaper than getting the venue to host a ceremony. Our theme is gold. Why not? So did that ended up being super cheap. It's just maybe I'm too analytical and this is a downside for me in some cases. But I don't know if I want to spend that amount of money on this one day.
In part 1 of our 3-part series, we're joined be Amanda Natividad and Marissa Goldberg – two friends of the podcast – to discuss the traditions that surround love.
After getting engaged last year, Steph found herself in a place she didn't expect and with emotions that she didn't feel entitled to have. That led her down a deep rabbit hole of questions, ultimately ending up in a bunch of societal narratives.
She discusses them here with Amanda and Marissa, as they share how they navigated the narratives that underpin love, from engagement to name changes to family involvement and more. Without giving too much away, all three women have found their own unique way forward.
