After a brief summer break, we're back!! Courtney starts us off with mentioning the disturbing neighbor drama that she's been dealing with, we break down some of the favorite shows we're currently watching and our thoughts on the new season of the bachelorette airing! While we were away two iconic 2000s "it girls" were got married, and a bachelor alum favorite is engaged! This week we're talking about inflation and the supply chain, but not in the way you might think! We know you see it everywhere right now...but when planning a wedding it's inevitable right now! While it seems like there is no end in sight when it comes to cost increases and demand shortages, we cover a few stories to uplift and get strategic! Starting off with a few contests you could win to help cover expenses, we move into what items have the longest production time (and no not just the wedding gown), stats on what couples are currently prioritizing, and Megan breaks down best ways to stay within budget and where to get crafty when saving! Make that coin, and pinch those pennies it's time to save!!
