Our Wedding Story

In keeping with tradition, we're doing something a little different to ring in the New Year. This topic has been requested for awhile now, so today, inspired by Episode 1 (How We Met) and Episode 21 (Our Proposal Story), we're doing another throwback! We're going back in time to January 2015 thru September 2017, to what happened after Andy proposed. Listen on to hear why we waited 2.5 years for a wedding, what expenses got out of hand, how "influencer"-dom played a role, "The Moment" that made it all worthwhile, and in retrospect, what we would have done differently!0:00 - Introduction2:35 - City Hall5:33 - Considering A Wedding10:23 - Choosing A Venue14:15 - Postponing14:54 - Deciding To Hire A Planner15:38 - The "Influencer Wedding"20:49 - Thoughts On Having A Planner21:43 - The Dress34:10 - Tasting35:23 - The Cake35:33 - Our Cake Topper36:31 - The Dress, Continued38:06 - Wedding Day41:02 - The Big Reveal42:37 - Our City Hall Officiant43:57 - "The Most Important Day In Your Life"46:03 - Wedding Day, Continued46:47 - The Ceremony50:11 - Cocktail Hour/Reception50:38 - The Moment53:50 - Wedding Favors54:06 - Jewish Traditions54:30 - In Retrospect: Regrets, Surprises, Things We're Happy About1:08:48 - Overall TakeawaysIf you have a relationship question, write us at: [email protected] Dear Shandy: https://redcircle.com/dear-shandy/donationsSubscribe - https://bit.ly/SubscribeDearShandyListen on iTunes - https://bit.ly/DearShandyiTunesMore Dear ShandyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/dearshandyFacebook - https://fb.me/dearshandyMore SharleenInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/sharleenjoyntBlog - http://www.alltheprettypandas.comMore AndyInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/machinelevineProduced by Gabrielle Galon - https://www.instagram.com/gabsamillionSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dear-shandy/donations Learn more about your ad choices.

The hours of research, writing, transcription and translation are worth it when we get to see Altoni’s Spiedo section in action at the Baglioni Palazzo, Fiore’s armor techniques displayed on the battlefields of San Giovanni in Persiceto, Liectenauer’s rossfechten techniques thundering across the terrain of southern Germany, the Anonimo’s sword and gauntlet brought to bear in the lists of Mantua; these are the moments where history and martial arts meet, and we’re dedicated to bringing these moments to you our dear listeners.
