The girlies walk you down the aisle through the history of American weddings — everything from the origins of the white dress to the deranged people who still decide to get married on plantations. Digressions include tomato soup activism, Ye's antisemitic turn for the worst, and a DJ tag that couldn't have dropped at a worse time. Support the podcast on patreon at patreon.com/binchtopia
