with your guest list.
Have you put one together yet?
Not really.
We talked about it, though.
[VIVIAN] OK, great.
How many guests were you thinking about?
At least 100.
What? When did we say that?
I mean, we didn't,
but I'm just guessing.
- [LAUGHS]
- Definitely less than that.
Fifty people, max.
Well, that's my daddy, his
kids, and they kids alone.
Uh, you don't have to
decide that right now.
That'll change. It'll go back and
forth until the day of the wedding.
I see.
So let's just say a ballpark
of 50 to 100 people for now?
[CHUCKLES] Yeah. Thank you.
Definitely closer to 50, though.
Maybe even less.
Damn, Kiesha. It's our wedding.
We've been waiting years for this.
Why you trying to play it small?
Because the more people,
the more expensive it's gonna be.
[SIGHS]
[VIVIAN] She does have a point.
Food and beverage,
those are the biggest
expenses at a wedding.
The more guests you have,
the more that's gonna drive up the cost.
Exactly.
All right, well, let's just
weigh out all our options,
you know, before we
start saying no to shit.
So are we gonna have an open
bar or signature cocktails?
- Open bar.
- Signature cocktails.
I just feel like our folks
would want an open bar.
I don't care.
[EMMETT] Uh, babe, it's
our wedding they coming to.
We should be treating our guests.
Yeah, that doesn't mean
endless food and drinks
- for 100 people.
- [EMMETT] Smokey's can cater.
Smokey's is not catering my wedding.
- Why not?
- We eat Smokey's every day.
So?
Weddings come with a lot of decisions.
It's all about finding
the right compromise.
Why don't you two sit and talk
