Summary

Straight from New York City, Remi and Cal are catching you up on their recent travels — from their Midwest adventures in Wisconsin (yes, there were cheese curds involved) to the whirlwind reason they’re in NYC right now and their upcoming Honeymoon!

It was a Midwest wedding weekend that had it all — think: beer you can only get in Wisconsin, a venue fiasco straight out of a rom-com, and yes… a missing wedding gift. After all, you can take the guy out of Wisconsin, but you can’t take Wisconsin out of the guy!

They chat about Cal’s upcoming color analysis in Korea (place your bets on his color palette in the comments 👀), his signature “pink-ness,” and what it’s really like being part of a bridal party when it’s family — versus just being a guest. Plus, Remi opens up about scheduling “chill time” on their honeymoon, loving a fully booked calendar, and what she’s hooked on now that she’s finished Scandal.
