Twenty Good Summers

Okay, gang, you asked for it: a lengthy recap of our wedding. It’s a bonus episode, so don’t expect any of our usual penetrating insights. Just a rundown of our Italian nuptials, from the dress to the wrecking of our hotel room. Hope you enjoy our joy!

We return to the mics and return to our mailbag, answering your questions about dating after widowhood, dating using dating apps, dating to figure out who you are and what you want, and embracing grey hair and baldness. It’s a wide-ranging, hair-raising conversation, so join the fun!

We got married, y’all! Which is weird, because it means we have some new nouns in our lives — both unfamiliar ones, like “stepdad,” and repurposed ones such as “husband” and “wife.” What does that feel like? Tune in as we sort it all out!

Following on “Why Get Married,” we take on the topic of “how.” Specifically, what the ceremony means to each of us, and what ours in two weeks is going to be like. Along the way we discuss P’s wedding dress, our hack through the thicket of Italian marriage bureaucracy, and Jeff’s skin-care regimen. Join us in holy matrimony!

“Cher, do you believe in the institution of marriage?”“Yeah, but who wants to live in an institution?”In three weeks we’re getting married, even though when we met we’d sworn off marriage entirely, Find out why in our very special twentieth episode.
