How did these two meet?
“We met by accident in the summer of 2017 when I was vising my parents.
We had some issues with the wi-fi at the house and called a friend to help.
He couldn't help me as he was away and sent his friend, Robert, to sort it out... 3 hours later the wi-fi was still broken... but the conversation was amazing...
The strange thing about our story is that we both lived for 8 years in the same city as high school students and later university students and have never met, although as students we used to hang out in the same places and clubs.”
On this week’s episode, we’re dishing with

Don't use an online calculator for tent size.
"They suck." - .tent_guy
While the idea of a calculator where you can plug in the number of people seems awesome, in practice, there are far too many variables (bar location, dance floor, table size, and more).
So, ask your rentals company. They will make sure you get the right size for your day!
And, Adam's answering all of our other questions about tents on this week's episode of The Wedding Dish, too!
