Soundbite moment: “I honestly never thought this day would come!” 3. THE INVITATION DRAMA ·        Share the “fallout invite” story — how Kevin and J.R. got their invites. ·        Discuss being invited to both the ceremony and reception (after some confusion). ·        Joke about the long drive to the venue (48 miles away). ·        Lighthearted commentary about being “late additions” but still honored guests. 4.

THE BAND STORY ·        The wild “double payment” situation: o   Launa paying one musician not to show up. o   Paying another band she actually wants. ·        Classic “Launa move” commentary. ·        Speculation: “This band better be worth it.” Comedy beat: Co-hosts promise to “take notes” during the performance. 8. WILL PAUL CRY? ·        Both hosts predict: “Yes, 100%.” ·        Share Paul’s sweet texts before the wedding. ·        Contrast with the “Bird Theory” story — showing their playful dynamic. ·        Reflection: “They’re perfect for each other in the most chaotic way.” 9.
