  • Reimagining The Wedding Ceremony
    Dec 25 2025

    The marriage rate in this country has fallen nearly 60% in the last half century. So what’s motivating those of us still choosing to say I do? Anita ponders this question with the Hindu officiant who helped her build a ceremony that bridged the gap between her values and her dad's traditional desires. Plus, a comedian and queer ex-nun explains how she takes people from the place of "marriage is a dumpster fire" to a ceremony they're excited about.

    Meet the guests:

    - Raja Gopal Bhattar is a consultant, author and officiant who Anita and her family worked with to design her wedding ceremony

    - Kelli Dunham, a comedian, nurse and queer ex-nun who officiates weddings and funerals — and refers to herself as "queer secular clergy"
