Weddings! One of the happiest days of your life…until you realize you’ll be paying off the bills for years to come. In our debut episode, host and comedy writer X Mayo brings us back to her New York roots, when she had a coveted job at reBar, a wedding venue in Brooklyn that was actually affordable. But turns out, the small price tag came with a big risk. We hear from one woman who lost thousands and then talk to a thrifty bride for tips to hear how she managed to throw a wedding in NYC for less than $5K.
