Savannah Chrisley is preparing for a major wedding celebration with her husband, Jason Galanis. However, her grandmother, Nanny Faye Chrisley, had some reservations about spending heavily. The reality star playfully dismissed those concerns during a recent podcast conversation.
Savannah dismisses Nanny Faye’s concerns about expensive weddings
During the November 10 episode of Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, the pair discussed wedding expenses. Nanny Faye shared her thoughts about what couples should prioritize when getting married. She recalled spending just $15 on her own wedding to Gene Raymond Chrisley.
“Well, you know, me and your papa went to the preacher’s house and got married,” Nanny Faye remembered. She explained that couples previously had different financial priorities. She also argued that they would not have spent large sums on wedding celebrations.
“But you know what? I think marriage really is between the partners,” she added. Nanny Faye emphasized that commitment mattered more than an extravagant event. She specifically cautioned against “spending millions of dollars on a wedding.”
Savannah immediately raised her hand and responded, “Speak for yourself, lady. Speak for yourself.” She agreed marriage was about partnership but still envisioned a grand celebration.
Savannah and Galanis secretly married in the Cayman Islands on July 14. They now plan to celebrate with a larger wedding in May 2027. The couple is also expecting a baby boy before their celebration.
Savannah explained that she had imagined this wedding since childhood. She also revealed that her father, Todd Chrisley, had helped plan it. His prison sentence had previously made her uncertain about having that moment.
Todd was sentenced in 2022 following the convictions involving bank and wire fraud. The case also involved tax evasion and conspiracy charges. He served approximately 28 months before receiving a presidential pardon in May 2025.
Savannah said she was excited to celebrate with Galanis publicly. She also wanted their son included in the special family memory. Nanny Faye ultimately supported her granddaughter’s decision despite their differing views. She also encouraged her to ignore outside criticism and enjoy the occasion.
