| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Dear prudence. I'm your prudence, Janay Desmond Harris. Today we'll be answering |
| 0:10.1 | letters about what to do with wedding photos that include a sibling's ex, how to break it |
| 0:14.9 | to your dad that he's not invited to walk you down the aisle, and whether it's okay to |
| 0:19.1 | tell loved ones you never want to vacation with them. Here to help me out is Caroline Moss. |
