I Got Engaged (In the Rain): The Proposal, the Ring, and Why Weddings Stress Me Out

Hey Idiots!

I got engaged — and of course, nothing went according to plan.

In this episode, I tell the full, chaotic, unexpectedly romantic engagement story, from a rain-soaked Santa Barbara proposal to the secret ring swap I never saw coming. We’re talking surprise engagement, family heirlooms, Christmas morning emotions, and why realizing someone can keep a secret from you is both hot and unsettling.

Then we get into the real spiral: wedding planning stress, bridesmaids politics, budget anxiety, and why the idea of a “perfect wedding” might be a scam. If you’ve ever been engaged, are thinking about marriage, or just enjoy listening to someone overthink joy in real time — this one’s for you.

Funny, honest, and slightly unhinged reflections on love, commitment, and why I may or may not want to get married at a comedy club.
