Inspired by Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, this episode unpacks the beautiful chaos of weddings with a group of guests who’ve seen it all — from the altar to the afterparty. Alan Ball’s play puts five bridesmaids in one room during a lavish Southern wedding, and we channel that same energy for a roundtable full of honesty, humor, and hot takes.
Joined by Tessa (married and full of wisdom), Shannon (bridesmaid extraordinaire), and Karter (newly engaged and glowing), we explore:
💍 Something Old: The wildest stories and cringiest traditions from weddings past
🥂 Something New: What modern weddings are getting right — and very wrong
🎁 Something Gifted: The best and worst bridal/wedding presents we’ve seen
💙 Something Blue: What gets us emotional — the moments that caught us off guard or stuck with us
Whether you’re planning a wedding, recovering from one, or just love good stories about people in formal wear losing their minds, this one’s for you.
🎭 Five Women Wearing the Same Dress opens soon at The Forst Inn in Tisch Mills, WI. For tickets and performance dates, visit theforstinn.org and support local theatre that’s as bold, funny, and unforgettable as the weddings we love to dissect.
