Well, well, well, today is a very special episode because Chandler is on her honeymoon, everyone. She's working soft. She's on a beach somewhere. And I have brought the other blonde in my life, the third blonde in my life to the show today. So blessed. My bestie, Elizabeth Chandler. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you so much for having me. This is such an honor. Oh my gosh, you are so nice.
I dragged you reluctantly to join.
Not at all. No, I'm so excited. I'm going to channel Chandler as much as possible. Oh my gosh.
Well, you have rare sized shoes to fill. Yes. You know, lots of shoes to fill. I feel like there's so much to get into this week. So much has gone down pop culture wise. A lot of royal news. Yes. And I didn't want to do a solo episode because, A, I just really want people to get to know you. Everyone, if I'm not recording on this show, I'm probably voice noting Elizabeth.
We voice note back and forth constantly. And I just feel like you're one of the most funny, smart, wonderful people I know. And you're so chic. And I just want people to get to know you. So I'm so happy you're here in lieu of our other favorite Chandler. Yes. While she is sunning in Cancun. Yes. You know.
Can I hear a little bit about the wedding? I know you'll probably do a whole recap, but I want to hear some tidbits. Okay.
It was spectacular. It was really, really beautiful. And this is what I will say. I had no idea, really, how stressed out we all should have been about the weather. Because it was a beautiful wedding in Prospect Park at the boathouse, and half of it was outside. And if we had done it all inside, it would have been candlelit and gorgeous. Yeah. But it would not have been the same outside.
And it was the most radiant, warm, 80 degree day. Thank God. I know the weather was not looking great. The forecast was looking a little precarious. It was. And ever since the wedding, it has been rainy. It has been horrific. Today's a disaster. Today is a disaster. Complete disaster. The day after their wedding, it was terrible weather. So anyway, they just got so lucky. Ugh. I'm so glad.
