## Resource

Wedding season is here, and apparently the average wedding now costs **$33,000**, which feels less like a celebration and more like buying a used car with centerpieces. Big Party and Molly start out talking about wedding budgets, open bars, flowers, transportation, and whether parents should still be expected to pay for the big day. Then, as usual, the conversation takes a hard left into Big Party’s teenage trip to Germany, a red light district story nobody was prepared for, Molly’s bachelorette party in Chicago, speed dating temptation, and why Big Party bought two suits: one for getting married and one for getting buried. Yes. A funeral suit. Because romance is alive and well. This episode has expensive weddings, awkward parenting questions, bachelorette party chaos, coffin outfit debates, and Molly repeatedly trying to steer the show away from emotional damage.
