Well, That Was Awkward10 Jul 2025

I Got Married at 22 and Invited My Ex -- Here's the Awkward Truth

In this solo episode, Bree dishes from a literal closet at her mother-in-law’s Cape Cod home about her awkward journey into marriage at age 22. From engagement party antics at the Plaza Hotel to wedding-day wardrobe disasters involving high heels in soft grass, Bree humorously explores the messy decisions of young adulthood. Highlighted by an ex-boyfriend who made a bizarre fashion choice when he decided to attend her union, Bree's wedding story proves that awkwardness is both universal and strangely endearing. Tune in for laughs, relatable moments, and reassurance that no matter how awkward things get, you're never alone.

In This Episode:

Bree's existential closet musings: Why is her wedding photo tucked away next to old shoes?
Why getting married at 22 might not have been her brightest decision, but, hey, it took!
Bree’s swanky (but actually super sketchy) engagement party at the Plaza Hotel.
The legendary appearance of Nikolai, the ex who crashed Bree’s ceremony in a clown nose.
The epic "Linebacker-Hemingway Minister vs. Party Clown Ex" showdown at the after-party.
The awkward and ultimately sweet moments that defined Bree's uniquely chaotic wedding.
