In this episode, they talk about planning their own wedding over 10 years ago, launching the S&B Chicago franchise in 2020, and what it’s really like being married to a wedding planner. They also chat about life with their daughter Scarlett, how she views mom’s wedding world, and the hilarious traditions that make their family unique—including the Christmas tree that transforms into a Valentine’s tree every February. From “this takes the cake” moments to business, family, and love, this episode is a sweet (and very Chicago) look at building a life together on and off the aisle.
