This week Alyssa and Kevin crack open a celebrity wedding special edition of People Magazine from 2005 that likely spent years in someone’s basement, but made its way to them blessedly via Little Free Library. They discuss the fate of many of the couples featured, the extravagance of celebrity weddings, and even 2005 teeth trends versus teeth trends of today.
