Hey, the bird show.

This is probably a situation that I have very little to add to because I know when it came to my wedding, I had like nine people on my side and Stacey had like 120 people on her side.

But in the case here of Howard and of Karen, it's pretty split down the middle and it's kind of starting to cause a little friction between the two. They're going to be married in September. And Howard? Hey. How are you today? Doing pretty well. How about yourself? Karen, you there also? Yes. Hey, how are you today? Good. Thank you for joining us for couples, court. Hey, no problem, man. Even before we launch into the details here, let's just set the groundwork and say this, that you guys have agreed that if we do a couple's court with you and you let the Burt Show community kind of settle this for you, that the argument will be absolutely over after this, right? That's right. Okay. Karen? I agree. All right. I mean, you guys are going to agree with me, so I have no problem with it at all. Okay. All right, why don't you give details out? Then we'll take it to the listeners, and however they vote, that's the way you go with your wedding. Okay, this is what's going on. We're having a wedding at a reception in September and the beginning of September. Karen wants to keep the list at 200, 200 for the wedding, and those 200 go over to the reception.

But I've got such a big family between church members that are driving down from Nashville.

I've got fraternity brothers, friends, coworkers.

Everybody wants to come to this wedding, and I can't tell them, no.

I mean, these are people that have supported me my entire life and everything.

So my side is going to be well over the 100, probably 250, maybe 300 people coming down

for this wedding.

But obviously we can't afford all those people plus her side for the reception.

So what I say to do is to invite everybody to the wedding but only invite 200 people to the reception you know

either we take the other 200 people or the rest of the people to you know another party or i don't

know just not tell them about it i guess i don't know now karen what is your idea like what how do you

how do you want to split the guest list well it's supposed to be 100 from my side and 100 from his side.

And I figure our closest friends and family should be here with us.

If it's somebody that you don't talk to at least once a month, then they really don't need to be there.

I think a problem for guys, because guys will consider somebody their best friend who they haven't spoken to in two years. Well, that's the beauty about being a guy. Exactly. Is that we can go months without talking to each other, and then I could call you, and we'll pick up right where we left off, and we're best friends. This is a problem when I planned my wedding, too. My husband wanted to invite people I had never heard of. I'm like, we've been dating for

six years. If I have never heard the name before, they're not coming and I'm not feeding them dinner,

you know? So I think it does pose a problem for guys because your friendships are just so different

than ours are. Well, and then I think that a big problem is, and I may even agree if everybody lived here in Atlanta, but I'm from Pittsburgh and he's from Nashville, so everybody has to travel. So we can't ask people to travel from another state and tell them to come to a half an hour wedding, but don't come to the reception. Oh, Karen's right. That's a good point. That's a really good point right there. Absolutely. Karen, you're right. There's no doubt in my mind that you're right.

You guys have got to just narrow down that guest list.

It's one of the hardest things to do when you do plan a wedding.
