Can you believe it? It’s our 100th episode! Thank you for being here whether it’s your first time or your 100th time – thank you for tuning in. In today’s episode, we Tell-ALL! From wedding horror stories to some controversial hot takes, it’s going to be one fun episode. Also, as I mentioned in past episodes, I’m actually reversing the roles for today’s episode.

So make sure you turn up your volume because things are going to get a little risque in today’s episode.

And that’s a wrap for season 3! I can’t believe Season 3 has come to an end. But this season was a big season for us as we recorded 33 episodes for you! The first season (if you’ve gone back to it or you’re an OG and have been around since the beginning) was about 35 episodes, but we also alternated between a full-length episode and a Wedding Wednesday Quick Tip.

Season 3 had fuller-length episodes, which I honestly liked more because I felt like I could connect with you more personally. 

The show has also gone through some permutations since season 1. We’ve reduced the number of ads, added some segments like This or That, or listener reviews, and finally picked a name for our Loverves, our listeners! 

If you have ideas for segments for Season 4 or guests you want on the show for Season 4, please continue to leave them in your reviews on Apple Podcasts! We’re scheduling interviews with guests over the summer so we can come back with more awesome content in Season 4 in October.

The close of Season 3 doesn’t mean we’re completely saying goodbye, though. I’ve already picked several episodes that we’re going to re-broadcast during our hiatus because they’re so relevant for couples getting married this summer or fall, are recently engaged, or were our top downloaded episodes and deserve to be re-aired – or all of the above, actually!

I hope you enjoyed hearing from Ali and Riley who came on this week’s episode. If you want to hear more of them, let us know in your 5-star review on Apple Podcasts, too! I love the questions they asked me. We always have a good time together. Also, shout out to Daniel, our audio editor who had to edit this episode, which was probably much harder than our other episodes. Thank you, Daniel!
