Episode 21 • How to Get Married
Following on “Why Get Married,” we take on the topic of “how.” Specifically, what the ceremony means to each of us, and what ours in two weeks is going to be like. Along the way we discuss P’s wedding dress, our hack through the thicket of Italian marriage bureaucracy, and Jeff’s skin-care regimen.
