RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. Most brides end up buying a wedding dress and storing it away somewhere, never to be worn again. Audrey Moore wanted to give her friends a reason to put them back on again. So she told her wedding guests they could either wear black, white, a costume or their own wedding dress. The actress from "Better Call Saul" wore a gorgeous, light-blue gown. When her friends expressed concern that their outfits would take attention away from her during the nuptials, she told them, I dare you to outshine me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
