Chapter 121: Tuesday Morning

"It was almost 1am by the time I got home on Monday morning, I think, although I don't entirely remember getting home," Ian muses, conversationally, glancing at his two coworkers across the table from him, all speaking into their podcast tabletop microphones.

"That sounds about right, you were trashed, and I left a bit after you around then," Damien confirms, with a shrug.

"Yeah, look, Sam and I were very drunk and I do not remember but that's about the time on our Uber receipt," Olivia laughs, "what a party that turned out to be."

Olivia doesn't really do the podcast much, especially now she's a little less permanently working with Smosh, but she makes an exception for this particular one.

"Yeah, so podcast friends, hello and welcome to this week's Smoshcast! We might all sound a bit rough, and if you're watching the video version I know I at least look a bit the same-" Ian starts, Damien laughing and cutting him off.

"Hey, dude, you didn't even have a real role in this, we did, I think we get to claim exhaustion more," he shoots back, and Ian grins.

"Oh, sure, but I hit the open bar a little too hard," Ian admits, before turning back to introducing the postcard, "so, today for your podcast you have me, Ian Hecox..."

"And I'm Damien Haas," Damien continues.

"Olivia Sui!" she adds, enthusiastic.

"We're recording this podcast on a Tuesday morning instead of what has become our usual Monday podcast recording sessions, because Smosh took a day off yesterday," Damien explains, although still not getting to the point – intentionally. Ian decides to cut the hinting.

"Because a certain couple we all love very much got married on Sunday. So, yes, it'll be a couple weeks before this goes out, but at the time of recording, Courtney and Shayne's wedding was two days ago, and of course, we were all there," he confirms, not able to stop himself from grinning proudly.

"Most of Smosh was there!" Olivia adds.

"It wasn't a small wedding, for sure – not extravagant, just between all their friends and family, they had a lot of people to invite," Ian explains, the others nodding on.

"Mm, the final count was just on 200 RSVPs," Damien confirms, "and it was seriously a great day."

"You two were both a little more involved than me, as Damien mentioned, of course?" Ian prompts, Damien immediately indicating for Olivia to answer first.

"We were, I was one of Court's bridesmaids, so I've been a little bit more involved in the planning too over the last few months," she grins, "but Damien over here got an even more important role."

"Okay, so yeah, I was Shayne's best man," he shrugs it off, a little, mildly embarrassed by the attention, "but honestly, have loved every minute of it. There's a whole lot of work involved in planning a wedding and it's the first time I've had anything to do with one as an adult, but it's actually been fun. Shayne and Courtney did most of the planning themselves, but when it was helpful, all of the rest of us, groomsmen and bridesmaids and things, all got into a big group to help out when we could. Never thought one of the most fun things would be hanging out in Courtney's Dad's living room working out seating plans with everyone, but damn that was a really good day, actually."

"Oh, I think it's all been really fun too," Olivia confirms, "Kari – she was Court's maid of honour, of course – and I planned the bachelorette party and some of the stuff around that, which was great. And yes, that was my drunk snapchat stories last weekend of only drinks because we had to keep it quiet. But I gotta say, my favourite was the dress shopping. I think everyone will have seen her dress by the time this goes out, and it was gorgeous. Bridesmaids dresses were beautiful too! But the whole process of it, the five of us girls went to a bunch of dress shops and tried things on and it was honestly like a cheesy rom com and I was so. Here. For. It."
