Lock up your grownup lady blouses, Angela Lansbury!  We’re counting down to the worst-planned wedding of ’96 as Jessica Morgan joins us for episode 1.22, “Caroline and the Bridesmaid(s)”!  Ladle yourself a bowl of soup and join the party as we attempt to untangle the pretzel-like timeline of Caroline’s wedding festivities, examine the preponderance of leather pants in the late ‘90s, and lament the lack of Jordan Almonds in our everyday lives.  Cool it, Garfield!
