In this episode, we read the book The Wedding People.

The Wedding People is a dazzling, deeply moving. Set over the course of a single weekend at a luxurious New England inn, this story invites us into the heart of a destination wedding—where not everything is as picture-perfect as it seems.

At the center is Phoebe Stone, a woman at her lowest point who checks into the inn with no intention of making it to Monday. But when a twist of fate pulls her into the chaos of someone else’s wedding, what unfolds is funny, messy, heartfelt—and entirely life-altering.

From controlling brides and grieving grooms to teenage wisdom and coconut-scented absurdities, The Wedding People is both a sharp satire of wedding culture and a tender exploration of grief, connection, and what it really means to choose life.

This is The Wedding People, and it’s not just about saying “I do”—it’s about asking, what if life gives you another chance to begin again?
