• 42: Late Vendor, Red Flags & A Family Dressed in all Black

  What happens when your in-laws hate you so much they all wear black to your wedding?  This week, I’m diving into a listener story that starts with a secret elopement and ends in family chaos. We're talking group chat meltdowns, cold shoulders, and a mother-in-law who calls her “the family shame.” Then we’re spilling tea on a viral makeup artist who showed up late, blamed her calendar, and still thought a partial refund was enough. Spoiler: I have thoughts. Plus, the latest round of wedding confessions, from best men brawling to guests peeing in driveways. Because no matter how pretty the venue, no wedding is safe from the drama. JOIN ME IN GREECE OCTOBER 2026! My new book Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris and Sloan Story is live! Get the book!

Because at the end of the day, the best weddings aren’t perfect, they’re honest, intentional, and unapologetically you. JOIN ME IN GREECE OCTOBER 2026! My new book Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris and Sloan Story is live! Get the book!

They’ve got it right, they’re just making sure nothing ruins their day.” - Bailey Lavender About Bailey Bailey Lavender is a vibrant hairstylist and digital creator known for her bold aesthetic and engaging online presence.

• 40: A Postpartum Wedding, Seating Chart Snafu, and More Wedding Day Shockers

  Imagine being told to pack up your three-day-old newborn and 18-month-old toddler, drive three and a half hours through a snowstorm… all to make it to a wedding. Wild, right? That’s just the beginning of this week’s story: because the drama only snowballs into kids being banned from weddings and a brother-in-law stuck in the middle! I’m also sharing the ultimate mother-in-law move: trying to hijack the bride’s carefully planned seating chart just to cozy up to her ex. You cannot make this stuff up. And of course, we’ll wrap it all up with quick-hit confessions: think sabotaged bouquets, off-white dresses, and a garter-removal protest that had the whole room cringing. JOIN ME IN GREECE OCTOBER 2026! My new book Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris and Sloan Story is live! Get the book! Must-Hear Insights and Key Moments Snowstorm Showdown – A couple was expected to drive 3.5 hours through a blizzard with a three-day-old newborn and a toddler. Fresh Out of Delivery – The bride still demanded attendance, even though the mom had just given birth days before. MIL’s Seating-Chart Sabotage – Another listener story of a mother-in-law secretly trying to swap the bride’s seating plan at the venue. The 11-Year Revenge Laugh – Despite her MIL predicting divorce within a year, the couple is still happily married over a decade later. Bridal Shower Gone Wrong – The MIL’s last-minute bridal-shower invite left the bride’s family scrambling. Family Photo Standoff – The MIL refused joint photos, forcing the wedding photographer into an awkward split-family shoot. Confessions Segment – From a guest who slept in the groom’s bed with the best man to the cousin yelling during the garter toss. The Ivory Dress Excuse – A rehearsal-dinner fiasco when a sister tried to pass off an off-white dress as “not white.” Song-Stealing Drama – A future sister-in-law sparks outrage over a DJ playing “her wedding song” at someone else’s reception. Words of Wisdom: Standout Quotes from This Episode “People always say these MIL horror stories can’t be real… but I get them in my inbox every single week.” - Christa Innis “If you feel the need to say, ‘It’s not white, it’s ivory,’ then guess what? It’s probably white.” - Christa Innis “Some venues just don’t want to tell a pushy relative ‘no’, and that’s how the seating-chart sabotage begins.” - Christa Innis “I would love to hear these stories from the mother-in-law’s perspective. What does she think actually happened?” - Christa Innis “If a tradition makes everyone cringe—like the garter toss, maybe it’s time we let that one die.” - Christa Innis *This conversation is for entertainment and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.
