Dear Prudence: I Was Only “Verbally” Invited to a Wedding. Help!

In this episode, Cheyna Roth (podcast producer for Slate’s The Waves) joins Prudie (Jenée Desmond-Harris) to answer your letters about weddings: whether parents are obligated to pay for weddings they don’t support, whether a mean sister should get to attend an elopement, and whether you are really invited if you don’t have a paper invitation in hand.

Podcast production by Se’era Spragley Ricks and Daisy Rosario, with help from Brandon Nix.
