- Please welcome my buddy and friend of the show, James Sexton. (audience cheers and applauds) All right, we got some
folks in the audience with some relationship questions, so let's just get right to it. Megan and Curtis aren't on the
same page with wedding plans. Megan, tell us what's going on. - Hi, Steve, hi, James. We are super excited,
because we just got engaged. (audience cheers and applauds) But we've been having a
lot of disagreements lately as far as what the
actual wedding should be. I, personally, think we should
have a really small wedding. I would even be okay if we
went to a courthouse, or Vegas, because I think it should be way more about the marriage, and not the wedding. I also don't wanna spend
all this money on a party. We're not the most
financially stable people, and I don't wanna start
our marriage off in debt. - I come from a big family,
and we have a lot of friends, and I wanna have a big ceremony. You know, money comes and money goes, but we're only ever gonna
get married one time, so I wanna--
(audience member claps) Thank you, yes! (audience applauds) - No, no! - There's this belief in our culture that the wedding's about the bride, and whatever the bride
wants is how it should be, and there's something to that. I think it is her special day,
and it's how it should be. But what I'll say to you is,
you didn't get here alone. Okay, you had your families
that brought you up, you have the friends that
maybe are there for you during the good times
and bad times together, and you're not gonna go
from here by yourselves. You're gonna need support,
you're gonna need people who are gonna cheer for your
marriage from the sidelines, you're gonna need people who are gonna be there when you have kids someday, they're gonna help you with your kids, so the wedding isn't just
about the two of you. It's about your families celebrating, and the people who love you
celebrating the two of you finding each other in 7.4 billion people. And you know what? It's also about the fact-- (audience applauds) And I'll tell you something
else very personal. My mom passed away three years ago after a very long battle with cancer. When I was getting married,
I remember saying to the DJ, whatever you do, don't play
that stupid chicken dance, okay? And my mom went over to him and said, I want the chicken dance. And I guess the guy was
smart enough to figure out, you know what, she
wants the chicken dance, she's getting the chicken dance. One of my favorite memories
of my mother will always be her doing that stupid
chicken dance at my wedding. (audience applauds) And when my mom passed away, I
have all these photos of her, healthy, alive, smiling
in a beautiful dress, on my wedding day, and I
have to tell you something. whatever happens from here,
and I hope you have a lifetime of happiness, you never
end up in my office, or anyone's like it,
but I have to tell you, wherever it goes from here,
if you have that special-- Do not let the first time
all the people you love be in a room, be your funeral. (audience applauds) A wedding is a chance to
celebrate with everyone you love, and if you pass it up, you're fools. - You know what? I have to change my answer. I do, because of what he just said. - Yeah. - Because, I was sitting
here thinking the whole time, it's her day. Most little girls dream of
the day that they get married. Women think about that. A lot of women think about that. Not all, but a lot of women
dream of the dream of our day. I have not met a single guy
that dreams of his wedding day, not one single guy. - [James] You have now! - Well-- - [Megan] Now you've met him! (laughs) - Well, he done latched on to it, but I don't think that's
been his childhood dream. His dream was to find
the chick of his dreams. That's all we want, is
the girl of our dreams. If we can get you without the
wedding day, we'll take it. (Megan laughs) It's just you gotta make
the two come as a pair, but after what James
said, the chicken dance, his mom, the people in your
life, it's more than just you, you're gonna need help to stay married. I was gonna say, look man, get off of it and give her her day, whatever she wants, but he just changed my mind. I never looked at it that way. He changed my mind. The only compromise I say is, instead of a large wedding,
give her a medium wedding, because you don't have as many
real friends as you think. Here is the rule that we gave our two daughters who got married. They came with these lists
of 400 people, 500 people. We said, no, listen to
me, have in the room, only people you know are happy for you, and have always loved you. You will not find 400 people. You will not find 250 people.
