Savannah, good afternoon.

**Savannah Locke** (0:02)
Hi, welcome to our show.

**Lee C. Camp** (0:03)
Welcome to our show.

**Savannah Locke** (0:05)
How are you feeling at the moment?

**Lee C. Camp** (0:07)
I'm feeling good. Grateful.
Enough of all things needful.

**Savannah Locke** (0:13)
How is wedding planning stuff going in your fam?

**Lee C. Camp** (0:16)
It's going well. Our youngest, yes, I guess I've mentioned maybe, is getting married this fall. And so we're learning. We've never married off one of our sons before.
And so, you know, we're learning.

**Savannah Locke** (0:31)
What an exciting time.

**Lee C. Camp** (0:32)
It's very exciting. It's very exciting.

**Savannah Locke** (0:34)
I love it.

**Lee C. Camp** (0:35)
Yeah, they're very sweet. They're both very, as a couple, they've been very intentional about all the process and honoring people along the way. And so, yeah, it's sweet.

**Savannah Locke** (0:46)
Has it got you thinking about your own wedding?

**Lee C. Camp** (0:49)
Yes. Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.

**Savannah Locke** (0:51)
How many people showed up?

**Lee C. Camp** (0:55)
Six hundred and fifty or so.

**Savannah Locke** (0:58)
Lee, you're lying to me. Your wedding was six hundred and fifty people.

**Lee C. Camp** (1:03)
I think it was, yeah.

**Savannah Locke** (1:04)
This is not what I was expecting.

**Lee C. Camp** (1:08)
Yeah, it, yeah.

**Savannah Locke** (1:11)
Where was it?

**Lee C. Camp** (1:14)
It was at a church on Weston Boulevard.

**Savannah Locke** (1:18)
Nice.

**Lee C. Camp** (1:18)
Here in Nashville, yes.

**Savannah Locke** (1:20)
Six hundred and fifty people is iconic behavior because I think if we did a survey of subtext listeners and said, hey, one of us has had a wedding with six hundred fifty people and one of us had a wedding with thirty people, they would have thought it was the opposite. The majority would think you had thirty.

**Lee C. Camp** (1:39)
And you had thirty.

**Savannah Locke** (1:40)
And I had thirty.

**Lee C. Camp** (1:41)
Well, see, that's one of the things that's so interesting is that, you know, our son and his fiancee are talking about their wedding being big because it's going to be maybe a hundred people.

**Savannah Locke** (1:52)
Yeah.

**Lee C. Camp** (1:52)
And I'm thinking, what?

**Savannah Locke** (1:56)
So you're like, I had a small town.

**Lee C. Camp** (1:57)
We're trying to figure all that kind of stuff out.

**Savannah Locke** (1:59)
Wow, that's amazing. Did you feed the people?

**Lee C. Camp** (2:03)
No, that was a difference between then. We didn't, we weren't feeding everybody. You know, it was like, you have the wedding, you have a reception with some cake and some refreshments and punch and no alcohol and you know, we didn't even dance, you know, so it was very simple in that regard.

**Savannah Locke** (2:20)
Which wasn't that kind of the vibes in general in that era?

**Lee C. Camp** (2:24)
Probably for Protestants, it probably was.

**Savannah Locke** (2:27)
Yeah, nice.

**Lee C. Camp** (2:29)
I always have been, envied the Catholics with their weddings. They seem much more enjoyable.

**Savannah Locke** (2:34)
Rambunctious.

**Lee C. Camp** (2:35)
Rambunctious party time. Yeah, wow. Protestants.

**Savannah Locke** (2:39)
600, I mean, I love learning new things about you in general, but that's a good fact. That's a good favorite. I love it.
I thought to myself when we got married, I was like, we are either going to have a 500-person wedding or a 30-person wedding. And I was like, let's just keep this manageable.

**Lee C. Camp** (2:55)
Yeah.

**Savannah Locke** (2:55)
Yeah.

**Lee C. Camp** (2:56)
Where did you get married?

**Savannah Locke** (2:58)
At this random church in Nashville.
It was so low key. I don't know what the deal was. We had four months that we had to plan it. And I bought the first dress I tried on and just kept things very low key. Our reception was at a restaurant, like in the back room. It was a private room and people would just eat or drink whatever they wanted. We didn't have dancing either, a commonality. So we kept things very chill.
Well, today I want to talk about two bits of feedback we've gotten from our listeners. So one is about me.

**Lee C. Camp** (3:34)
Savannah, this seems to be a recurring theme.

**Savannah Locke** (3:36)
It's dark. It's dark times to be me lately. No, I'm teasing. A gal messaged The Subtext and she is from Ireland. I don't know if she studies language or if she's just into language or something like that. But she was like, hey, I don't mean this offensively and I'm not criticizing you, but I notice you say, oh my God, a lot. What's so funny is I noticed because I listened through a bunch of our episodes before they got approved.
