Show Notes

We’re in our mid-20s, and it seems like you can’t turn a single corner without getting into a conversation about weddings.

The good part is that one of us is married and the other isn’t, so this episode (hopefully) provides a nice balanced view of desi-weddings from a novel perspective.
