We did it fifteen years ago 25 00:01:28,307 --> 00:01:30,987 Speaker 4: with Elvis, and it was just crazy that this time 26 00:01:31,027 --> 00:01:33,507 Speaker 4: around it was the same Elvis that married us, remarried 27 00:01:33,547 --> 00:01:36,627 Speaker 4: us fifteen years ago. He's an absolute character. It was 28 00:01:36,667 --> 00:01:39,067 Speaker 4: amazing it was. 29 00:01:39,027 --> 00:01:42,587 Speaker 2: The same Elvis from because there must be many many 30 00:01:43,187 --> 00:01:46,227 Speaker 2: Elvis celebrants in Vegas. Did you specifically try to find 31 00:01:46,267 --> 00:01:46,827 Speaker 2: the same guy? 32 00:01:47,707 --> 00:01:50,787 Speaker 4: No, it was a fluke. He had actually moved chapels 33 00:01:50,787 --> 00:01:54,107 Speaker 4: from one chapel to another and it was at a 34 00:01:54,107 --> 00:01:54,867 Speaker 4: different chapels. 35 00:01:54,987 --> 00:01:58,067 Speaker 2: Me to be mean to be, I mean, you would 36 00:01:58,107 --> 00:02:01,827 Speaker 2: have remembered him? Well, I don't know. He probably marries 37 00:02:01,987 --> 00:02:04,667 Speaker 2: and renews vows for many couples. Did he remember you 38 00:02:04,707 --> 00:02:05,867 Speaker 2: from fifteen years ago? 39 00:02:06,787 --> 00:02:09,987 Speaker 4: I reckoned. By the end of the ceremony, he definitely clipped. 40 00:02:10,027 --> 00:02:11,347 Speaker 4: So I think so. 41 00:02:12,147 --> 00:02:16,227 Speaker 2: Now I've seen the photos, as I say, being the blazer, 42 00:02:16,267 --> 00:02:19,347 Speaker 2: the Warriors blazer that you're wearing, is that specially made 43 00:02:19,347 --> 00:02:20,147 Speaker 2: for this occasion? 44 00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:25,587 Speaker 4: Yeah, there was tailor made in Thailand, So there's an amazing, amazing, 45 00:02:25,947 --> 00:02:28,267 Speaker 4: well fitted suit, and then we had the boys cut 46 00:02:28,267 --> 00:02:31,227 Speaker 4: it out and warriors suits as well, so we're all 47 00:02:31,267 --> 00:02:31,867 Speaker 4: looking the part. 48 00:02:32,467 --> 00:02:34,587 Speaker 2: Anna, This is just what a cool family occasion.
