Then in our second hour, would you be offended if you were uninvited to a wedding during the pandemic? Thousands of couples have had to decide whether to postpone their weddings or scale them down dramatically.

Our guests will discuss everything from pandemic weddings to internet outrage and public shaming. Our guests:
