Wendi: So, yeah, I wanna talk about wedding experiences and one of the best wedding.
Rachel: The best wedding I've ever gone to was probably my friend, well, OK, wait, hold on, pause it for a second.
Wendi: No worries because
Rachel: What is our scale of best? Like most fun? Most emotional?
Wendi: That's a good question. I guess what ever was the most kind of rewarding wedding you've ever attended. And I guess you have to chose that based on your scale.
Rachel: What are the questions going to be so I can think of how to break it down.
Wendi: Anything. It's totally random usually.
Rachel: Oh, OK.
Wendi: It's totally random. And actually, it's even good for the listener's for the people that are going to be listening to hear you thinking in your mind, like, "Ah," I don't really know. Just total natural conversation.
Rachel: No cause like there are three weddings where I can think of: The Wiccan wedding. My friend Amanda's wedding which was just massive. There as like 13 bridesmaids and thirteen and the other one that was on a ship.
Wendi: Wow. Was it like on a cruise boat kind of thing, or?
Rachel: Not a cruise boat. It was a smaller kind of like sail boat, sailing around the Netherlands.
Wendi: That sounds crazy. Was it like a super quaint wedding kind of thing?
Rachel: No, it was kind of like a metal wedding.
Wendi: A metal wedding?
Rachel: Yeah.
Wendi: What do you mean?
Rachel: Well, it was a whole bunch of metal heads on a boat...
Wendi: Seriously?
Rachel: Eating vegetarian food.
Wendi: That sounds crazy.
Rachel: Yeah it was pretty brilliant.
Wendi: Wow. So out of all of the weddings you've been ever experienced in your whole life does anyone kind of ring out to you at all as that's the wedding I want to have.
Rachel: No.
Wendi: No.
Rachel: First off, I think I would elope.
Wendi: OK.
Rachel: And then just throw kind of like big parties all over the world because I have a feeling that my wedding would pretty much be international.
Wendi: Right.
Rachel: I think that, well the ceremony, I don't even know what kind of a traditional per se ceremony that I would want.
Wendi: Yeah.
Rachel: Yeah, I think I'd rather it just be a private more intimate thing between me and whoever I'd be marrying.
Wendi: Right.
Rachel: And then just have a party for everybody to celebrate it with.
