Betches Brides

Betches Brides
When a bride accepts a proposal, they’re not expecting to say yes to distress. But wedding planning can be the most stressful time in any relationship — families collide, personalities clash, and wallets empty even before your mother-in-law adds her entire bridge club to the invite list. Good thing Betches Brides is here to help you laugh (cry?) through it all. Each week, stand-up comedians Selena Coppock — the mind behind the @nytvows parody account — and Chelsea White meet to swap stories about their own wedding journeys, while answering listener emails to help you not trip down the aisle. Selena and Chelsea are here for all Betches Brides and newlyweds in need of advice, empathy, and laughter — including themselves.

The Hosts

Selena Coppock
Selena Coppock is a standup comedian, writer, author, and storyteller based in NYC. She is the creator and voice of @NYTVows, the parody Twitter and Instagram account that lampoons the New York Times Wedding section, the wedding industrial complex, WASPs, and courtship rituals of the rich and insufferable. She is also the creator and host of 'Two Wick Minimum', America’s favorite and only podcast about candles. In December 2017 she released her debut standup album, 'Seen Better Days' (Little Lamb Recordings) which hit #1 on the iTunes comedy chart. She was also a guest star on the sitcom 'Red Oaks' (Amazon) and has been seen on Bravo, Lifetime, VH1, and elsewhere.
Chelsea White
Chelsea White is an Emmy-nominated TV writer, producer and host who Kris Jenner once called “so adorable” and to whom Beyonce once said, “Hello,” as she passed by her in a hallway. You may have seen her talking pop culture on MTV, ABC, VH1, or People TV, bartending on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, or interviewing guests like Awkwafina and Desus Nice with their cats for her web series Show Me Your Kitty. She lives in Harlem with her husband and their two cats, Tanooki & Miranda Hobbes, and is trying to figure out if she’s still a newlywed after two years of marriage (what’s the cutoff??). Ask her anything about weddings, true crime or Netflix’s Love Is Blind.
