Chapter 1: Why are Morgan and Justin considering eloping?
You know, we got engaged quite some time ago now, September of 2023, and it is now February of 2025, and we are getting into wedding planning. Yeah. Probably a little late. Probably a little procrastinating.
Definitely that. Yes.
I haven't tried on dresses yet. So I don't know how this is going to go, but we've really started planning and looking into this and it's got us rethinking everything.
I feel like that must be a common experience. It has to be. I know people are like, die hard. Yes, we're going to have a wedding. But even though you know you're still going to have it, you have to hit that moment where you're like,
What are we doing all this for?
Yeah.
I'm there before getting there, I think. Like, I always talked about those videos I would see with that interstellar sound and they're like, no, screaming outside the window, watching them, like, do something, right? And a lot of the ones I've seen are just, like, wedding planning where they're like... Wedding planning together.
And then the couple is standing outside screaming like, no, just a lope.
That's funny.

Chapter 2: What are the challenges of planning a wedding?
You want to see someone else that's about to try to ruin a night?
Yeah.
This next one.
I'm done with Linda.
This next one.
I don't want to hear any more about Linda.
People are goofy, but this is like, again, like is it easier to elope? Because I think about the weddings I've gone to and like I've sat at a table with people and they're like, there's not enough food here. Like I'm still hungry. That sucked. Like people are going to complain and that's just a frustrating part of it. It's like people go to weddings to judge weddings.
That's fine. But at least they're coming up with half, you know, they half make sense with what they're saying. Not this completely just pulled out. I don't know. She's nuts.
She's nuts. And so is this next one. One of this week's partners is Lume. I just got back from a bachelorette trip and I had a 14-hour travel day. And there were a lot of people on those planes and shuttle buses that definitely did not put deodorant on. But you know who didn't stink? Me, because I remembered to put on my Lume before I left.

Chapter 3: Is it acceptable to start a wedding without the bride's mother?
And I think what's really interesting, and there's a movie with Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway, Bride Wars, Bridal Wars. And there is a quote in there. That another actor reads and it was like something about like sometimes weddings bring good couples closer together and sometimes they tear the bad couples that probably shouldn't be together apart.
Yeah.
And I think that is something that's really interesting because it's like it's a high stress situation. You have to make a lot of compromises.
Yes. It's one of the big three.
And so it is kind of one of those interesting things where it's like eloping is obviously kind of an easy way out. It's more affordable, less stress, less compromising, but weddings do highlight flaws in a sense. Maybe it's just recently and TikTok sharing information, but I've seen a lot of weddings fall apart Really close.
So I've had a revelation throughout this story here.
Are you on team wedding now?
Well, here, maybe this will answer that question.
Okay, okay.
