Would You Pay to Attend a Wedding?

The Debrief

Thursday, 28 August 2025 - 1 hour 32 minutes

We dive into the viral story of Marley and Steve from Idaho, the couple who charged guests to attend their wedding and ended up raising over $132,000 for charity _after_ covering their costs. Controversial? Definitely. Clever? Maybe. We unpack the backlash and the bigger picture.
That leads us into a debate: should men still be expected to pay on the first date? Old-school tradition or outdated thinking?
Plus, Guinness World Records turns 70! From mountains to mullets, we count down our top three favourite record holders.
