Hot Take Hour: Wedding Etiquette in 2026

say the thing you've been too polite to say.

Thu Jun 25 · 7:00pm – 8:00pm CT
Google Meet · Virtual

Hot Take Hour is a virtual hangout where the whole room takes on one question, and the way in is your hot take. This edition: wedding etiquette in 2026.

Each breakout group gets its own piece of the wedding: the ceremony, the cash bar, the guest list, the dress code. Your group debates its corner for 20 minutes, then reports its most controversial opinion back to the room.

Free, 25 spots, cameras encouraged but never required. Nothing is recorded, so you can actually say it.

    How does it actually work?

    One topic, and you come with a take on it. Quick icebreaker, a few live takes in the main room, then breakouts: each group of 4 or 5 gets its own piece of the wedding (the ceremony, the cash bar, the guest list) and 20 minutes to debate it. Every group reports its most controversial opinion back to the room.

    Do I have to be on camera?

    Cameras are encouraged but never required. In breakouts everyone shares their take in the first 2 minutes, but it's 4 or 5 people, not a stage.

    Is it recorded?

    No. That's the point. Anonymized quotes might become social posts later, but anything you label off-the-record stays off-the-record, and names never leave the room.

    Is it really free?

    Yes. RSVP and the Google Meet link lands in your inbox the day before.

    Who can come?

    Everyone, from any city. It's virtual.

    What counts as a hot take?

    Provocative, not cruel. No roasting real people, no political flamebait, no punching down. The host keeps it sharp, not heavy.
