Ring, ring! It’s 1-800-BRIDESMAID.
Author and professional bridesmaid Jen Glantz brings her hit newsletter to life in this judgment-free zone for all your messy, real wedding, love, and friendship dilemmas—plus expert advice to help sort them out.
In this episode of 1-800-BRIDESMAID, host Jen Glantz sits down with Brooklyn hairstylist and former ballerina Nathan Ayon to talk about wedding culture, the pressure around marriage, and what actually makes a wedding meaningful.
Nathan has spent years behind the salon chair — one of the few places where people share their most honest, unfiltered thoughts about relationships, love, and life. His unique perspective on what people really feel about weddings might surprise you.
Then, Jen and Nathan tackle a real listener dilemma: a bride finds out her maid of honor has started dating her ex-boyfriend — and now wants to bring him as her plus one to the wedding. They unpack the complicated line between loyalty and romance, and what it truly means to show up for a friend on one of the most important days of her life.
In this episode:
– What hairstylists hear in the salon that no one else does
– The real pressure people feel around marriage and weddings
– MOH vs. bride: where does loyalty end and personal life begin?
– How to handle a maid of honor who’s dating your ex
– Setting boundaries with your wedding party without blowing up a friendship
– What actually makes a wedding memorable — and what doesn’t matter at all
