This week, Nicole helps you decipher your wedding contracts with the help of Nicole O’Toole, a Chicago-based attorney, and 2022 bride. They jump straight into a voicemail from a bride who has found her perfect venue and is ready to pony up the money, but should she ask a lawyer to look at her contract? What are some red flags she should look for? What should she be asking to make sure they put in writing? Nicole O. guides us through small, medium, and big contracts - reminding us along the way that every contract is negotiable. They end on a game of Unpopular Opinions, where they decide if couples should have a joint bank account, if you not only marry your partner, but their family as well, and if having different hobbies from your partner can be an issue.
