Nashville is infamous for being a bachelorette paradise, but what about the “I dos”?

In this episode, we talk to newlyweds about their experiences planning and having the biggest day of their lives in Middle Tennessee. We also hear from a wedding planner about recent trends and the state of the wedding industry in Nashville.

But first, hundreds of Tennessee children have spent the night in offices belonging to the Department of Children’s Services or transitional housing. Tennessean reporter Josh Keefe joins us at the top of the show to talk about his investigation into the struggling state agency.

Guests: 

  • Josh Keefe, investigative reporter for the Tennessean
  • Meaghan and Tanner Zerick, newlyweds
  • Kaliyah Halsey, newlywed
  • Raina van Setter, wedding planner and owner of Weddings & Events by Raina
