Why are weddings so controversial?...and women of the Oscars

Who doesn't love a wedding?Join Kelly and Louise as they shoot the breeze around the Oscars and all the amazing women who are trailblazing this year. This leads to a slightly random dissection of the old adage, 'What's for you won't go by you', with differing opinions.The focus of this episode is in fact weddings. Most of us will, at some point, have been invited to a wedding and in a lot of cases, many, many weddings. Kelly and Louise recount the good, the bad and the ugly they have encountered, whilst agreeing we all love a good day out.They consider whether it's ever right to not get a 'plus one' invitation, whether kids should be included at these events, what kind of numbers make for a good wedding and how Scottish, Irish and English weddings compare. And, what about the single-penalty? Forking out for others when you may never receive in return? Finally they draw on their experiences to see what makes for a bad wedding? Do they exist?See us live!'Have You Frozen Your Eggs Yet?' is going live! We are being hosted by Tribe co-working space in the beautiful Portobello in Edinburgh.
