Wedding Trends To See in 2023 - The Bridesman | iHeart Yes, the title did rhyme. Like what I did there? It's January but that doesn't stop any predictions or trends for what will be "in" for the coming year if you are ready to tie the knot.

Just a little note for our listeners. We’ve been on a little Summer break so as you probably could tell we haven’t had any new content last week and won’t again this week. We’ll have a new episode next week! 👰🏻♀️🤵🏻♂️
What's the WORST seating assignment/arrangement you ever had at a wedding? Seated next to an ex? Seated upstairs (if split floor reception)? Seated right next to DJ/speakers that blew out your ear drums? Tell us! We want to know! You're not alone...
The official story of how Dan and Marita legitimately became "Lady Marita" & "Lord Daniel The First"! You can listen to it unfold here in real time. Pretty cool.
Presenting Lord Daniel & Lady Marita - The Bridesman | iHeart Marita had a topic for this weeks episode but Dan surprised her with a late birthday present. Hint: it has to do with her so-called Scottish heritage.
No food at the wedding but hey don't worry Mickey & Minnie are here...for 30 minutes but they're here! Unreal. We discuss what this couple did and whether or not they are the AIRL...
Hint: Yes, yes you are.
No Food is a No Fun Reception - The Bridesman | iHeart There's a couple out there who used some of their wedding budget to arranged an appearance by Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Nice right? Well, it came at the cost of food being served to the guests. Take a listen.
The latest episode is out! Who's had a themed wedding? Star Wars themed wedding anyone?
Star Wars Theme Wedding - The Bridesman | iHeart In honor of Star Wars Day (when this episode was recorded) Dan convinced Marita to talk about how to have a Star Wars themed wedding. Does she like the idea or is she working for the Empire and hates it?

You know it's that time again...a new episode is out of The Bridesman Podcast!
We discuss a hot button issue and that is when guests are asked to attend a wedding AND pay for their own meal! Dive in with us, here!

Give us your suggestions for what title to replace Matron or Maid of Honor with?
Yo, should there really be two separate terms? Is it REALLY that necessary? We are in 2022, not 1922...or 1822! Dan & Marita discuss!
Maid or Matron of Honor. Why Should There Be A Difference? - The Bridesman | iHeart There are things that keep Dan awake at night. Why are we here? Why did George Lucas disappoint us and change it so Greedo shot first and not Han? And an all important one: what is the difference between the Maid of Honor and a Matron of Honor? Good thing Marita is here...
YAY or NAY on wedding day surprises? By that we mean surprises for the Bride or Groom that they did not plan...
We discuss in our latest episode, here!

Introducing the Bridesman After Dark! Where we discuss who does romance better Disney or Comic Books. Clearly it took a s*xual turn hence the "After Dark"!
*Not intended for children* As Dan says, "for safe s*x listen to the Bridesman podcast!".
This new episode available now on the iHeartRadio App, Spotify, or anywhere you listen to podasts!

The Best Man Guru Speaks - The Bridesman | iHeart How about Dan & Marita get advice from someone who has been a Best Man...twice! It's Marita's husband who joins them on this weeks episode.
This episode Dan tells us how he would write a best man speech in the unlikely event anyone ever asked him too... so his "fake advice" really...

P.S. We also hear about Dan's unhappy delivery experience...HA!
Can You Do A Best Man Speech? - The Bridesman | iHeart Dan's no expert when it comes to this topic because he has never been asked to be a best man...ever. Here what he might do if he was ever asked based on what others have done.
Marita was a Matron of Honor recently and so she decided to do a solo episode (she was sick of Dan) here giving tips for how to write a great MOH speech! Check it out!
Marita's Speech Tips - The Bridesman | iHeart Dan had to take a week off (which you can tell Marita is happy about) so this is a solo episode where Marita chats about how to give a Maid/Matron of Honor Speech!
