Summary

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re answering ALL of your engagement questions! From the story behind Harrison’s proposal book (and where he actually got it) to what life feels like now that we’re officially engaged, we’re giving you the full play-by-play. We get into the juicy topics you guys asked about: our updated thoughts on a prenup, whether Alex will legally change her last name, and how we handled judgment around having a baby before marriage. Plus, the wedding talk — what kind of wedding we’re planning (traditional? city hall? somewhere in-between?), if we’ll invite kids (other than Tate), our one non-negotiable detail (spoiler alert: mine is CAKE), and whether there will actually be a bridal party / groomsmen. Basically, nothing’s off-limits this week… if you asked it, we answered it :) LOVE YOU GUYS!
