Like all rites of passage in modern America, the wedding is undergoing a transformation. From who officiates to the vows that are taken to whether a church setting is involved, wedding bells ring in very personal ways for couples, some of whom have only been allowed to marry in the last few years.

We talk with him about the cost of weddings and who pays, the most desirable settings and the impact of marriage itself on our economy and changing as so much did in the wake of the pandemic.
