1
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: It is time because last time you met him on

2
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: my podcast, he was being introduced as my boyfriend, mister

3
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: b aka his real name is Bryden, but this time

4
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: he's being introduced as my fiance.

5
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: Fiance.

6
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: Still feels weird to say that. Does it feel weird

7
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 3: for you to say that?

8
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: No? I like it. I like it. A lot of

9
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: people have talked about the difference between fiance with one

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: E and two ease.

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is very much a French thing, and people

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: do not differentiate between masculine and feminine.

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: But I'll take you one e to ease doesn't matter

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: all the ease.

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: Welcome to the podcast, fiance.

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you for having me.

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: To tell our engagement story. The people have been waiting

18
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: to hear the whole thing, so let's get into it.

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: From your perspective, tell us when you were going to propose.

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: When was the idea you wanted to propose, the whole

21
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: backstory before the.

22
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: Ring even got here.

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: In my mind, I always thought that I was going

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: to propose after a year March twenty ninth, because we

25
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: met March twenty ninth at precisely eleven thirty pm, So

26
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: I guess I always thought that I was going to

27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: propose after a year. So this all kind of started

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: the night that we went to the comedy club and

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: we went out with a couple of friends and it

30
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: was my first time meeting them. And after Alison, she

31
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: looked at me and she said, listen, if you mess

32
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: with her heart, people won't be able to recognize you

33
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: when I'm done with you. But on a second note,

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: you seem pretty great. So if you need a ring,

35
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: let me know because I have a guy. I was like,

36
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: that was quite the turn in the sentence, and immediately

37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: I was like, I'll text you tomorrow.

38
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 3: Did you tell her that night that I'll text you tomorrow?

39
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: Yes?

40
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: Really, that just went over my head.

41
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were walking down the street. It was when

42
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: after we left and we were walking down the street.

43
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: I did not hear you say I'll text you tomorrow.

44
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And so I messaged her on Instagram the

45
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: next day and I was like, Hey, I'm ready yesterday

46
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: to get a ring for this girl. And she was

47
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: so excited. And she's one of those texters where you

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: get five texts in a row and it was just bing, bing, bing,

49
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: bing bing.

50
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: She has a guy and she's also the same person.

51
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: I told you, I think in the car going home,

52
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: I said, because we've had a conversation about getting engaged,

53
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: that was already a very big topic of conversation. We

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: had gone and looked at a ring rings in general.

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: One ring really stood out to me. It was a

56
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: marquee and we went to Brilliant Earth. That was the

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: only place that we went to, and we checked it

58
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: out and I really liked it, and I was like, oh, yeah,

59
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: we'll probably go look for some other ring places. Unbeknownst

60
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: to me that you were already in the works of something.

61
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: But I had told you that night after the comedy show,

62
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: I said, when it's time for you to start looking

63
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: at engagement rings, I think you should reach out to

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Alison because she's a master communicator.

65
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,279
Speaker 3: She's also a master negotiator.

66
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: She's got all the connections that you could possibly want.

67
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: She's just a freaking rock star at everything she does.

68
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: So reach out to her.

69
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: And he already was playing on it as I'm just

70
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: finding out in this moment, yep.

71
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: So I started messaging Alison and immediately it was like

72
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: too many messages over Instagram, and I got her number

73
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: and then I had to change her name and my

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: phone yep, because I knew that. Yeah, and so I

75
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: had changed her name to Randy Thompson. So I was

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: talking to Randy Thompson, one of my clients at work,

77
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: a whole lot, and we literally, I think we texted

78
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: every single day since the day of the comedy show,

79
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: which was hilarious because there were moments when we had

80
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: talked about her and I wanted to say different things,

81
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: but obviously I hadn't spoken to your friend from the

82
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 2: comedy club since that night, and that was really fun

83
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: for me. So we had started. I had taken the

84
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: ring from Brilliant Earth because we had found a lot

85
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: of features of that ring that we both really loved,

86
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 2: and with Alison, we were able to start designing the

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: jeweler has a CAD program where he could tweak different things,

88
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: and so we went back and forth and talked about

89
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 2: obviously the shape the Marquee diamond, but then we talked

90
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: about different styles of gold, and we talked about I

91
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: really like the whimsical what did you call it, the

92
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: nature rope on the side.

93
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the nature inspired line, but it is whimsical.

94
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: That's a better word for it.

95
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it being dainty, and so we went back

96
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: and forth just designing this ring, and I was obsessed

97
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: with it from day one and Allison was so excited

98
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: about it. At the end of the day, I didn't

99
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: think that the ring was going to be done until

100
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: after Christmas.

101
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: Wait, and before you move on from the ring, you

102
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: want to talk about what you decided to do underneath.

103
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, so underneath the big diamond there's a hidden halo,

104
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: and so those diamonds are a little bit more rigid

105
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: and square, and so it's that was like my base,

106
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: letting you be the big diamond and to shine. So

107
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: that was something that like, I thought the ring told

108
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: a story which was really fun for me.

109
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 3: And when you told me that made me tear up.

110
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: When you first told.

111
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: Me that I'll always be your support baby, when you.

112
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: Always have been.

113
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: You've always been this person who is so secure in

114
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: who they are and such a foundation that you shine

115
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: all on your own.

116
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: You are your own diamond.

117
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: But to be like, I'm going to be the little

118
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: diamonds and let you shine whenever you want to shine

119
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: was what that felt. And it felt incredibly amazing to

120
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: not only be loved in that way, but to be

121
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: seen in such a way.

122
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: I'm glad it hit home very much. Did that was

123
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: very important to me, and just the daintiness of it

124
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: and the shine of the diamond. And we went back

125
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: and forth with colors and I learned a whole lot

126
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: more about diamonds than I ever knew.

127
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: And you did absolutely perfect. Might I ask you? I'm

128
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 3: obsessed with it, can't stop looking at it. I'll be

129
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: driving and I'm like, oh, yeah, there she is hanging out.

130
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: That has been so fun for me to catch you

131
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: just looking down at it.

132
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: All the time randomly. Yeah, I'll be laying in bed.

133
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: I'm like, so, I'll.

134
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: Say something and you're like, remember, we're engaged. I think

135
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: it's just any point we can bring up that you

136
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: have a ring on your finger.

137
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been waiting for this my entire life. What

138
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: do you mean? This is like the most exciting time ever.

139
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: So I'm going to bring it up all the time. Okay,

140
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: keep going with your story.

141
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: So Alison and I had worked with Tom and we

142
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 2: came up with a final design and I was thinking

143
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: there was no way that the ring would be done

144
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: before Christmas, and all of a sudden, Alison texted me

145
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: one day and was like, oh my gosh, your ring's

146
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: going to be here tomorrow. That kind of jolted everything

147
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: into place, which the timing of that was hilarious because

148
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: Alison got really sick and you had taken her a

149
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: care package the day. She had texted me that the

150
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: ring was going to be there tomorrow, so you had

151
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: been to Allison's house, and then the next day I

152
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: was going to Alison's house to pick up the ring.

153
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: And so I remember coming home and wanting to tell

154
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: you about like how her pupp looks like Remy or

155
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: her cats are like Hazel, and I wanted to talk

156
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: all about it, but obviously it was still very much

157
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: part of the surprise, so couldn't do that. Yet she

158
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 2: did it.

159
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: When I was over there. She did not let on

160
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: anything that was happening. I had zero clue that anything

161
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: was happening.

162
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: And there's a coffee shop by her house, and she

163
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: was like, does Morgan have your location? And I was

164
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: like yes. She was like just tell her, like you

165
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: just went to go get coffee. It wasn't anything. So

166
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: she had like backup play.

167
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: You're really lucky that I didn't happen to look at

168
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: your location at that I don't ever really look at

169
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: it unless you're coming home from work and I just

170
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: want to follow you.

171
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: To see when you're going to be home.

172
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: And I had to go during my work day, like

173
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: I just popped over there because I knew that if

174
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: I went, like on my way home from work or something,

175
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: you were going to be Where are you going? Why

176
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: aren't you coming home to me?

177
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: I get excited when you come home. It's my favorite

178
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: time of the day.

179
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: And so obviously the second that I learned that the

180
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: ring was on its way, all of a sudden, I

181
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: was like, I'm going to be in Wichita for Christmas.

182
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: I'm going to be around her family. Maybe I can

183
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: make something happen. And so my first text was to Seth,

184
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: your brother in law, and I think I said, Yo,

185
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: It was like what's up? And I said, can I

186
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: call you all my way home from work today? I

187
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: got something big? And so I called him and I

188
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: explained the situation and I was like, I didn't think

189
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: I was going to get the ring, and no, we're

190
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: only like a week out, but I'm going to see

191
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: if we could throw something together here. And I said,

192
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: are there any family traditions that you guys have done,

193
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: like any special moments that that maybe I could incorporate

194
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: into my proposal, And I told him so my four

195
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: things I was looking for. I wanted your family involved,

196
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: I wanted a beautiful scene. I would love for Remy

197
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: to be involved. And the biggest one was I wanted

198
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: it to be a surprise.

199
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: Yes, surprising me is a very difficult thing to.

200
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 2: Do, and I love surprises like that, even small things.

201
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: I want to be surprises for you, like I'll make

202
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: you close your eyes with silly little things and you say,

203
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: what are we doing? So this I want wanted to

204
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: be a huge surprise. And I felt like all of

205
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: a sudden now that the ring was on the way,

206
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: and I was like, if I don't propose over Christmas,

207
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: I feel like anything after that it might become not

208
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: an expected thing but something you might suspect. So if

209
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: you got into Valentine's Day or like our one year,

210
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: if we weren't engaged by our one year, like you've known,

211
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: I've been ready for this for a long time. So

212
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: it was like I didn't want you to expect it.

213
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 2: I didn't want you to ever ask me the question like, hey,

214
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: should I get my nails done this weekend because we're

215
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: going on that trip, or like, I didn't want any

216
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: aspect of that, And so I told Seth kind of

217
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: my four non negotiables, and he was like, there's a

218
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: perfect spot. He said. It's called Botanica. It's in Wichita,

219
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: it's a bunch of Christmas lights, and it's something that

220
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: the family does every year. I think it could go great.

221
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, sweet, so started researching there and

222
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: later that night he texted me and he was like, bro,

223
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: we got a loop Taylor in on this.

224
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: Which is my sister.

225
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and because I wanted it to be a surprise

226
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: for as many people as possible, so your sister, your mom,

227
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: your Sarah, your other sister, and your dad I still

228
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 2: needed to talk to. So my whole plan for this

229
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: trip was originally I was going to talk to your

230
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: dad about proposing to you for our one year. I

231
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: was immediately kicking myself that I didn't talk to your

232
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: dad over Thanksgiving.

233
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 3: When they were here.

234
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they were here, So all of a sudden,

235
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: all these things were coming together and Seth, who was like, dude,

236
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 2: we gotta bring Tay in, Which.

237
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: Was really funny because you probably hadn't realized, but I

238
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: had helped him with their engagement. I had helped orchestrate

239
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: some of that, and I was very much involved with him.

240
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: He did a lot of the planning himself. I just

241
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: put certain pieces together for him. And so it was

242
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: cool for both of us to be in on each

243
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: other's engagement ahead of time. And you had no idea

244
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: that that was not a story I'd come out and

245
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: all right. It was like never came up in conversation,

246
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: and it was really cool now after it for us

247
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: to both have been involved in each other's engagements.

248
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he shared a little bit after we started

249
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: the conversation that you had helped and I was like, oh,

250
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: this is perfect, the give and take, and so we

251
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: looped Taylor in and then from that day forward, I

252
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: was on the phone every day coming home with Taylor,

253
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: and they were wonderful. They went out to Botanica a

254
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: few days early and they took pictures for me to

255
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: so I could envision where the different shots would be.

256
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: And so then as the plan progressed, it was like, Okay,

257
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: all of this is happening. And then the day that

258
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: I picked up the ring, my mom was here staying

259
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: with us, and so when you were upstairs and you

260
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: were doing your sauna, Matt, I knew you were trapped

261
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: in there for twenty five minutes.

262
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: Little hot pocket time.

263
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're hot pocket time. I grabbed the ring and

264
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: I run downstairs and or I actually my mom was

265
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: in the next room, so I was like, Mom, come here,

266
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: and so we went downstairs and I got to show

267
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: my mom the ring and she was just so excited

268
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: for us, and it was a super emotional moment for

269
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: my mom and I and knowing you were just upstairs

270
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: was sneaky and special too. And then we're walking back

271
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: up the stairs.

272
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: Wait, so did your mom say anything to you and

273
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: this is all happening? Were you guys like both crying?

274
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: What was that moment? Because I didn't get to be

275
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: a part of that moment.

276
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: It's funny. We had conversations and she had said the

277
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: phrase like I can see where this is heading going

278
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: towards marriage, but we had never really talked about it.

279
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: And I had the box and I was like, Mom,

280
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 2: I really want to show you something. And I took

281
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: out the box and she was like, oh my gosh.

282
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: And I opened it up and then she saw the

283
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: ring and she said, oh my gosh again and she

284
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: was like, Buddy, I'm so happy for you. I just

285
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: remember her. It's funny I blanked out during that conversation

286
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: with my mom, and then I blanked out a little

287
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: bit during the proposal. I will get to that, but yeah,

288
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: she was just she was super excited for us, and

289
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: I think there was a sense of like, my boy

290
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: found his person, and I think that's a special moment

291
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: for any mom. And then I put the ring in

292
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: my pocket and we're walking back up the stairs and

293
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't you know, hot pocket time is done, and who's

294
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: standing at the top of the stairs and my mom, Mama, Jay,

295
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: you are a rock star and I love you. We

296
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 2: walk up the stairs and my mom instantly brings you

297
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: down the hallway so I can because I was like,

298
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: where am I going to put this ring?

299
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: Panic? Instant panic.

300
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: And so then I snuck into the room and I

301
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: went to my little hiding place and I hid my

302
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: nice little blue box.

303
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: And that was also pretty foreshadowing because now that you

304
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: guys are going to hear the moments leaning up to

305
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: the proposal, I was very inquisitive, very aware, very in

306
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: his space.

307
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: Everywhere when things are trying to happen. So that was

308
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: for shadowing, yeah.

309
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: Multiple times. Yeah, it was very fun to navigate all

310
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: the obstacles that went through because everything got smashed into

311
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: such a small window because we're talking a week maybe

312
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: that where all of this happened, and then it was

313
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: got to get this done, got to get this done.

314
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: And at each moment there were small little hiccups of

315
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: you trying to be inquisitive, not intentionally.

316
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just inquisitive naturally.

317
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: That's my insert of just asking questions, and I want

318
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: to know what you're up to and what you're doing.

319
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: So I just didn't know what was happening. So I

320
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: obviously could avoid the questions and ruin.

321
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 3: My own surprise.

322
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: But I didn't ruin my own nice you didn't. So

323
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: the ring was in his bag going to witch Chap

324
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: didn't know that.

325
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: Yep, it was.

326
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: Traveling with us the whole time. And then we get

327
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 3: to witch Cha, we get.

328
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: To Witchitoe, and we woke up real early because it's

329
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: basically whatever time you leave is what time you're going

330
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: to get there.

331
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: So it's about like ten and a half hours from

332
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: here on a good day, If this guy doesn't pee

333
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: eighty times on the road trip.

334
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 2: I like water. I like to stay hydrated. We're driving

335
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: there and I'm thinking to myself, I just have to

336
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: get Terry alone. Yeah, I got to get your dad alone.

337
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: And just so everybody knows, like he could have tried

338
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 1: to take him out to dinner or lunch, but he

339
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: has me as his girlfriend. Yeah, and I instantly would

340
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: have known what was happening. There would have been no

341
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: shot for him.

342
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: There's a zero percent chance that. And again, surprise is

343
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: the biggest thing, So anything to tip you off, and

344
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: especially going that far and setting everything up then to

345
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: give it away, I would have been really bummed. I

346
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: know we would have still been very happy, but I

347
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: would have been bummed that I lost my surprise. And

348
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: so we get there and we're getting settled in and

349
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: they have this gorgeous backyard with all these trees and

350
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: everything's lit up, and they have a whole zoo of

351
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: squirrels and raccoons that.

352
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: They feed and not they my father specifically where to

353
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: go Terry.

354
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: I love it, And so I'm like, how can I

355
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 2: get Terry alone? So you had gone downstairs to go

356
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 2: grab something, and I was like, Terry, I've been hearing

357
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: all about this backyard. You got bird watchers, the raccoons

358
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: and squirrels. And I stood up like, hey, Terry, come

359
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: with me. So we go out back and he's talking

360
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: all about his trees and the different animals that are

361
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 2: back there, and some memories and gearing up planting the

362
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: seeds to get to talking about his daughter, and what

363
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: do you know, a cute little blonde pops her head

364
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: out the door and goes, what are you two talking about?

365
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 3: Naturally?

366
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: And I'm like, hi, babe.

367
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: You're like mid panic about to have a very important conversation,

368
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: and I'm just hey, what's up?

369
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: How's it going?

370
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 2: And even like the phrase of your question, I was like, oh,

371
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: I hope I didn't tip her off, because you're like,

372
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 2: what are you guys talking about out here?

373
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: You were out on the deck together like looking at

374
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: the backyard. I was like a bunch of weirdos out here?

375
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: What's happening?

376
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 2: And so you hang out for a second and then

377
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: you get my telepathic hint to go back inside.

378
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: No, I was just bored. That was more whatever you

379
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: guys were doing. I was like, Okay, I'm a stupid.

380
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: Do you go back inside, and you don't shut the door,

381
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 2: and you're sitting right inside the door, and I'm like,

382
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: do I whisper it? It's weird. I don't want to

383
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: do that. And so the conversation kind of fizzles and

384
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: Terry's like, want to head back in, and I'm just

385
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: like feeling so defeated, and so we go back inside.

386
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 2: And that entire night, I was just staring at the ceiling.

387
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't know when I'm gonna get Terry alone, because

388
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: the proposal was having the next.

389
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: Night, the proposal was happening, yes on the twenty third.

390
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: We got there on the twenty second. And so that

391
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: next morning, after a night of zero sleep, I'm taking

392
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: rem out. We take the dogs out front, and I

393
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 2: took Rammy outside and I'm just sitting there waiting for

394
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: her to go potty, and all of a sudden, I

395
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 2: hear like bags rustling, and I didn't realize that I

396
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 2: was standing behind the garage and the garage was open,

397
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: and whendn't you know Terry is just making it back

398
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 2: from the gym, and so we start chatting and I

399
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: was still like, didn't have coffee. I was real tired,

400
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 2: and I probably scared him a little bit, and I

401
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: was like, all right, Terry, since I have you alone,

402
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: i'd love to talk to you about this.

403
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: And it's like six thirty or seven in the morning

404
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 3: or something like that. I was still.

405
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: Sleeping, yeah, and I hadn't slept, so I was a

406
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: little sleepy. I just told him, I said, you can't

407
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: even imagine how much I love your daughter, like she

408
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: is the most wonderful person who completes me, and just

409
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: went off about all the mushy gushy stuff that.

410
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: Did he tear up when you were talking?

411
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: No, he didn't tear up in that moment, probably because

412
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: he was not expecting a can I marry your daughter

413
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: conversation that early. But his first initial reaction was oh, wow, wow.

414
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 3: Which is very much my dad, if you know my dad.

415
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he just talked through it and he was like,

416
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: you're guys's relationship, like you guys are so good together,

417
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: and I've never seen my daughter this happy before. And

418
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 2: it was a really sweet conversation. And I said, with

419
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: your permission, I would love to ask for your daughter's

420
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: hand in marriage. He gave me a big hug. I

421
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: don't even know if he ever said yes. Gave me

422
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 2: a big hug and I said, I just want you

423
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: to know that I'm going to take care of your daughter.

424
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 2: And he hit me in the shoulder and he said,

425
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to hold you to that.

426
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 3: Also, my dad.

427
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, he had to have said, yes, I

428
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: think you blacked out a little bit of that conversation, and.

429
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that conversation was a little because we talked to.

430
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 3: Him after and he's yah. I said yes.

431
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: I was like, what else did you say? I gave

432
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: him a hard time. He thought he was being funny.

433
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 2: His hard time was I'll hold you to it, which

434
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: is what a dad should say. Yeah, and then he

435
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 2: asked if he could tell your mom and I was like,

436
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: I really would like Jeanette to be surprised if you

437
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 2: can keep that secret. And he said, okay, when are

438
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: you doing it? And I said, I also want to

439
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: keep that a surprise because I wanted to have that

440
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 2: conversation with him. But I think there's something special about surprises.

441
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 2: And little did he know that I had a whole

442
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: plan for that night. And we walked back inside and

443
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: acted like nothing was happening.

444
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: And you want me to add the wrinkle in here too,

445
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: that also exists.

446
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 3: That is the peacoat. The peacoat because the vicat is

447
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 3: a huge little wrinkle in this whole story.

448
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: It's a main character in the story.

449
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 3: Honestly, we're the main characters. It's a wrinkle.

450
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: It's okay, it's like a it's the anti hero.

451
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: It's the comedic relief for sure. Okay, it's the comedic

452
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: relief character.

453
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: So it was Gosh, probably about a month and a

454
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: half prior to Christmas, he had ordered a pea coat

455
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: off of Amazon and showed up at the house.

456
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 3: He was really excited about it, and I was like, oh, yeah,

457
00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: that looks good.

458
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: But some times you get something from Amazon and it's

459
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: either really great quality or like really crappy quality, and

460
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: this was in between. I was like, a peacoat should

461
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: be really nice. You're gonna use it all the time,

462
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna wear it for the rest of your life.

463
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: It's one of those kind of staple closet items. And

464
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: if you really like this, let's look at getting you

465
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: one for Christmas. And both of our parents had been

466
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: asking for Christmas lists, and so I was like, I'll

467
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: just send this to.

468
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: My parents as an option for one of your Christmas.

469
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: Gifts and he's like, okay, great, I thought the conversation

470
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: was dead, and we're good.

471
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 3: That's cool, great, this is awesome. It wasn't.

472
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: So as the weeks followed, he kind of kept putting

473
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: on this pea coat and it was like, okay, I

474
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: really want this pea coat, like I'm going to keep it.

475
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 3: And he kept saying that.

476
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I thought we already had a conversation

477
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: dead and like this is over. The Peacoat's still at

478
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: the house come Christmas time and we're packing up getting

479
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: ready for us leaving, and he's like, I think I'm

480
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: gonna bring the peacoat. I was like, the hell you

481
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: are going to bring that pea coat. I asked my

482
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: parents to get that for Christmas. I bet they're going

483
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: to get it for you, So you should probably not

484
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: show up to the house with the peago the exact

485
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: same and whatever. So he still is going to pack

486
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: it and I'm like, okay, here's the deal. You just

487
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: can't wear it until at least after Christmas, because we

488
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: don't need this awkward thing of you wearing a pea

489
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: cooat and it was something you asked for Christmas, and

490
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: it's just awkward.

491
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 2: And if your parents are getting me a pea coat,

492
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: why would I wear that pea coat after Christmas? So

493
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: in your mind like, it doesn't none of it made sense.

494
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: My thought process was like, Okay, we're just going to

495
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: send that peago back after he gets the other one,

496
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: because it'll be a little bit nicer, a better quality,

497
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: and he'll be over this other peacoat. For whatever reason,

498
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: he had attached himself to this pea cooat And so

499
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: he brings it and we're there and it's the morning

500
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: of the proposal and I see this damn peacoat laying

501
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: out on the couch in front of everybody, and my

502
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: eyes I literally was like, why I've missing something? What

503
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: conversation did we not have? Did I have that in

504
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: my sleep? Did I not have that with him? And

505
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: so we get in the car. The peacot has been out,

506
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: and we get in the car and I just look

507
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: at him. I'm like, why is the pea coat out?

508
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: I thought you were supposed to bring it out until

509
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: after Christmas? And he's like, well, I was talking to

510
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: your mom and she's offering to help with any laundry

511
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: if we need anything. And I really needed that steamed,

512
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, but you're not supposed to wear

513
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: until after Christmas anyway.

514
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 3: And he's like, ah, I think I saved it.

515
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: It's fine, We're fine, and I'm like whatever, and I literally.

516
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: Looked at him. I was like, do not listen to me?

517
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: Do we just have a conversation and you just completely

518
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: forgot about it?

519
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: And they're That conversation on the way to the grocery

520
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 2: store was almost like it was a level of respect

521
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 2: of like, do you not listen to me when I speak?

522
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: It was a heavier conversation where it was just a

523
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: lack of respect or I don't understand your actions right now?

524
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: Can you please explain them to me.

525
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: Whenever we have conversations, we're very much like, once we

526
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: settled something, we're on the same team, Like we're on

527
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: the same page. And so it was very out of

528
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: character for you when we've had all these other conversations

529
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: before and this one was just not tracking. I was baffled,

530
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: was the best way I can describe it. I was

531
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: just baffled by the entire situation. And so I'm annoyed,

532
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: if you will. And we're we go grocery shopping and

533
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: we're still like I'm annoyed to the fact of just

534
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: like the stupid peaco But we go grocery jopping, We're

535
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: like having fun. We're dancing in the aisles of the

536
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: grocery store and just enjoying ourselves or whatever. We go

537
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: back home to get ready for going to Botanica, and

538
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: we're sitting there and getting dressed and whatever, and he

539
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: makes some comment and he's I just I think I'm

540
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: gonna be really cold tonight. And then I was like,

541
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: just wear the stupid peacoat. I'm still over the stupid picot.

542
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: Just wear it. I give up. Hands up. I don't

543
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: know what it is with this peacoat, but hands up.

544
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yes, So now you can tell the

545
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: peak out side from your story.

546
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: The peacoat that I had ordered, I had tried it

547
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: on and we did all that and it was like, okay,

548
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: we'll send it back. Then the ring's going to be ready,

549
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, I need to start thinking

550
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: about what I'm going to be wearing when I propose.

551
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: So I'm going through every jacket that I own because

552
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 2: I know it's going to be cold, and that dang

553
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: peacoat has a ring. Pocket right there, and I'm like,

554
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: this is the only thing, like my jeans, you'll be

555
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 2: able to see. I don't want someone else holding it

556
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: the whole time, and I just I couldn't picture it

557
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: any other way, and so I needed that pea coat

558
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: was the only option. Even after we went to the

559
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: grocery store, I'm thinking to myself, like, if she tells

560
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: me that I cannot wear this pea coat, I don't

561
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: know what I'm going to do. And so I just

562
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: let it go. And once I said that I was

563
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: gonna be really cold and you were like, just wear

564
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: the dang pea coat, I was.

565
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: Just like, I had no something that was stressing me

566
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: out because I was just trying to avoid awkwardness of

567
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: a gift. And it was also stressing him out return,

568
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: because this whole proposal was centered around.

569
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 3: This peacoat pocket and him having the ring in it.

570
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: So we were literally stressing each other out.

571
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: And I had no idea that this was happening over

572
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: this pea coat, but you did, and.

573
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: You gotta wear it.

574
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: Wear it.

575
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 3: And also come Christmas Day, a peagoat was on.

576
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: A present way nicer, not forty dollars pea coat for

577
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 2: Mamma Song also had two pea coats.

578
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: Ye pea coat, Rich, We.

579
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: Sent it back and we got you another color of

580
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: that one, because nobody needs two black pea coats. And

581
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: now the peacoat that you have that, I was like, hey,

582
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: send back is now a memento of our proposal and

583
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: we can't possibly send that back.

584
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: So I want to put it in this sh shadow box.

585
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 3: I know you do. I know you do, because it's

586
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 3: part of our story.

587
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: Now, the peacoat that almost had us in our biggest fight.

588
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: We really haven't had any like fights. We've had disagreements

589
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: and we've had conversations, but like that, that peaquoat was

590
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: like nearing maybe a moment of where we were going

591
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: to have a big disagreement.

592
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: And we don't fight because we communicate so well and

593
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: you're really good at let's talk this out. Let's use

594
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: communication as a tool. And in that moment, communication couldn't

595
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: be a part of it because it was me acting dumb,

596
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 2: being like I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do.

597
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: Your mom was asking me if I had laundry. I

598
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: didn't know what to say, and so that was, Yeah,

599
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: that was a more uncomfortable conversation just because we couldn't

600
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: fix it with our tool of communication.

601
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, very up so, And that was something like, very

602
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: early on in our relationship that I had mentioned to

603
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: them and a lot of the things I've learned and

604
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: the experiences I've had, I said, hey, we always have

605
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: to talk about things, even if it's uncomfortable, even if

606
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: it's not fun, because resentment is one of the number

607
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: one reasons that people don't end up either happy or

608
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: they end up divorced. And it's because people don't say

609
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: what they feel and they don't talk things out, and

610
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: they don't have important conversations when it's necessary. So that

611
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: was very much something that was early on in our relationship.

612
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: I said, if this is going to work, then you

613
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: have to tell me how you feel. And it sucks

614
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: if I do something to hurt your feelings or if

615
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: you know there's something we don't agree on, but I'd

616
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: much prefer us to have that conversation up front and

617
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: just handle it. Then you sit there for six months

618
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: and be like angry at me and I don't even

619
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: understand why. So that is very much a foundation of

620
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: our relationship. So when the situation of the beak out

621
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: was happening. That's why I say baffled, because I was like.

622
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: This is not how we operate.

623
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: We hear each other, we back to each other, We

624
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: know how the other person feels and we take that

625
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: into account, and none of those things were happening.

626
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 3: So I was just like, I don't understand. My whole

627
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: brain was.

628
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: Almost exploding because I was just like, this is the

629
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: moment where everything goes wrong and now every he's like

630
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: this horrible person, what was happening?

631
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: We're gosh. Yeah.

632
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: So that was the pea coat and the Peaco drama

633
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: that led us up to the proposal.

634
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I had part of Tay and Seth being

635
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: a part of the proposal was finding a photographer. And

636
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: we get into Botanica. We were the first people in line.

637
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 2: It was like rope drop at Disney and we get

638
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: in there, and.

639
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: Which I also, mind you, it was really funny that

640
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: we were that early because we're all standing there and

641
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: we're like, dang, we've never been early enough to anything.

642
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: When we're waiting in line to get in, we always

643
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: show up way too late. The end of our time

644
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: that we go in. It was a very noticeable difference

645
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: that we were standing in line waiting to get in

646
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: because the place hadn't even opened yet. And that is

647
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: not a Hulsmann family trait. We normally show up things

648
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: late as a family unit. So it was very unusual.

649
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: That was like, I look back, and I see that unusual.

650
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: Taylor was very specific about us.

651
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: Being on time.

652
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 2: She was a real one for keeping us on schedule. Yeah,

653
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: And so we had to be on schedule because I

654
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 2: had hired Stacy to do some photography and so she

655
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 2: was gonna jump out of the bushes and take our photos.

656
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: Something really special that Stacy did was she brought along

657
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: a videographer as well, And so we were getting in

658
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: the park and I was supposed to immediately go to

659
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: the bathroom and meet Aaron, the videographer, to put a

660
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 2: microphone on, and me being the guy who peas all

661
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: the time, mind you, he.

662
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: Had also just peed before we left. He was just

663
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 3: in the bathroom twenty minutes prior to this.

664
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: And so we get in and I'm like freaking out

665
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: because I'm about to go meet the videographer and once

666
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 2: I have a mic on, then if that's gonna feel

667
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: really real, time is on yep, And so ring in

668
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: the pea coat pocket. I go in the bathroom and

669
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: we get in the park and I go in the

670
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 2: there's a bathroom like at the entrance, and I see

671
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 2: a little child and I see a very old man, which.

672
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 3: By the way, as this is happening, we walk into

673
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 3: the park. He looks at me, I have to go

674
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 3: to the bathroom.

675
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: And again I'm like, Broski, you literally just peed what

676
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: you really have to be again?

677
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 3: You haven't even had any water? What's going on? And

678
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 3: he was just like, I have to go.

679
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, all right, another thing where?

680
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: And I always I use the word broski.

681
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: When he does something silly.

682
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 2: That's when I know I'm in trouble. Is when you're.

683
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 3: Brosky, like, Broski, what are you doing?

684
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brosky, are you kidding me? And I'm like, yeah,

685
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 2: I got a p I'm sorry. So I go in there,

686
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 2: little child, very old man. Neither of them looked like

687
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: they could work a video camera very well.

688
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 3: They were not, in fact, the videographer.

689
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 2: And so I'm sitting there and I'm like, I don't

690
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: even know what the videographer looks like, what's going on here?

691
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: And so I just look in the mirror and I'm like,

692
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: here we go and I go back outside, which then

693
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 2: your dad shared with us that he had an idea

694
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 2: of of everyone lining up in a line outside of

695
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: the bathroom to what cheer me on as I came in,

696
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: So that would have hit even harder. I probably would

697
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: have just turned bright red. And so I come out

698
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 2: and I look at Seth and I'm like he wasn't there.

699
00:35:55,239 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: He was like long bathroom and so family starts walking

700
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: and I was like, should we like go get a

701
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: beer because we had to go to the bathroom that

702
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: was on the other side of the park. And He's like, yeah,

703
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: we'll go get a beer, and so we like we

704
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: go to start walking away and you're probably like fifty

705
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: yards away by now because you were done with Broski,

706
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: You're done with me. And Seth was like, wait, she's

707
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: looking keep walk towards them, Walk towards them, and so

708
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 2: we just start walking and I'm like, I'm freaking out,

709
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 2: and oh, I lied. I said I had the ring

710
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 2: in my pocket. At that point, Seth still had the ring,

711
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 2: which was another tip off because when we were leaving,

712
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I need to go, I need

713
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: to go back downstairs, and so I went downstairs and

714
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 2: I had Seth follow me.

715
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you tried to say that you need to just

716
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 3: put a belt on.

717
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 2: Oh, I took my belt off, That's what it was

718
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: you did.

719
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 3: But and I was like, you literally just had a

720
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 3: belt on.

721
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: I had recognized that he did have a belt on

722
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: at one point, but he had taken it off in

723
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: between I the time I had seen him in there,

724
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: so he was like, I have to go back downstairs

725
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: to put a belt on.

726
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 3: I was like, you literally just had a belt on again.

727
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 2: Second I took it off on changing I forgot to

728
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 2: put it back on, and I thought it was smooth

729
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: about it. Apparently no.

730
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: And also when you were down there sitting in the bedroom,

731
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: you were sitting on the bed with your eyes closed

732
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: and just looking and I walked in.

733
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: I was like, are you okay? Is something wrong? Where?

734
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 3: What's happening?

735
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: And I was like really concerned about him that something

736
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: was not okay.

737
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: And I was literally reciting what I was going to

738
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 2: say when I was proposing, And she's given me a

739
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 2: hard time about keeping my eyes closed sitting on the

740
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: as I.

741
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 3: Was worried about you. I've never in my life seen

742
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: you do that. Yeah, you're not. You don't do.

743
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: Zin things like that. So I was very much are

744
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: you okay? Are you upset?

745
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 3: Is something wrong?

746
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: And I was very concerned about you, and you responded,

747
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm contemplating my outfit.

748
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, I was thinking about pea coats.

749
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 3: The pea coat.

750
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: I go back downstairs. I have Seth follow me, and

751
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 2: I give him the ring and we go back in

752
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 2: the We go back in their expedition and he goes

753
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 2: to get in, but he puts his big coat on

754
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 2: because he was holding the ring box. And I know

755
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 2: that you had said it was weird that he put

756
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: his coat on because he runs at a thousand degrees

757
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: all the time. He's always hot.

758
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I picked up on that.

759
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 1: When he came back, he like came back from inside

760
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: the house. So he said he went to the bathroom

761
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: and he comes back inside, like gets in the car

762
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: and he like grabs his coat puts it on.

763
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: And I was like, that's a little strange.

764
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: This dude is a thousand degrees literally always, he's always hot.

765
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: And so I was like, you're putting on your heavy coat,

766
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 3: Jack of Wall. We drive normally.

767
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: You never it's always like hanging over the seat, So

768
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: I recognize that. Again, though I'm seeing all these things

769
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: because I'm very perceptive and very aware of what's happening

770
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: around me. I'm very perceptive of the people in my life.

771
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: But I was not putting anything together. Nothing was fitting

772
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: like a puzzle piece. I wasn't putting the pieces together

773
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: that something was happen. I was just recognizing things that

774
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: were off.

775
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we overcame adversity, we did.

776
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 3: You never, guys, never tipped me off.

777
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: I was recognizing things, but again, was not tipped off

778
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: to what the actual surprise was.

779
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: So we ended up following you guys, and we're walking

780
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: around and we get to the big tree and it

781
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 2: has all the different led lights and it goes to

782
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: the music, and all of a sudden, Taylor looks back

783
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: and was like, do you guys want a photo here?

784
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, I was like, did I

785
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: get this wrong? The spot that I thought we were

786
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 2: going to is not this spot? And so I freaked out.

787
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: And so you walked ahead and I look at Taylor

788
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 2: and I'm like, are we doing this right now? And

789
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: she's poor ta thought. I was like mad at her.

790
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: But I was just freaking out inside. I was like,

791
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,879
Speaker 2: are we doing this right now? And so I had

792
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 2: grabbed a ring from Seth when she asked if we

793
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 2: were doing photos, because I thought maybe it was happening then,

794
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: So then we go and take photos in front of

795
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: that tree, and you kept trying to grab me, and

796
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: I was trying to not let you, like at one

797
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 2: point you wanted to be on the opposite side, but

798
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 2: you were going to be pushing up against it, and

799
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: so I had to like swing around you, and so

800
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 2: survived that photo.

801
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: And I had taken a picture of my sister and

802
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: brother in law with their new baby, Collins. It was

803
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: her first time at Botanica, and I was like, hey,

804
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: you guys want a picture together. And I was about

805
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: to take Taylor's phone and she was like, no, take

806
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: test phone. This is new, and I was like your's

807
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: is new also, whatever, and then I just take it.

808
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: But it was because Stacy the photographer was texting my sister,

809
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: and if I would have seen Stacy texting my sister,

810
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: I would have also figured it out. There's just so

811
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: many things that were playing the thing. So also avoided

812
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: it there.

813
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 2: So we keep walking through the park and all of

814
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: a sudden, I needed we figured out what bathroom the

815
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: videographer was in, and so I needed a little time

816
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 2: to go and meet him and get miked up, and

817
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: so Taylor became obsessed with the tulips there.

818
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: There's again another thing that toied me off. One is

819
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: when you guys were going to this bathroom, Taylor was

820
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: like looking around and I was like, who are you

821
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: looking for?

822
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 3: We're all here, just a Sarah, which is our other sister.

823
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, whatever, and then she was like,

824
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna get really busy here and I want to

825
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: go see the tulips, which are new. And I was like,

826
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: we'll get to them eventually, we're gonna be there, but

827
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: it'll be really busy later. And I was like, okay,

828
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: we're going to the tulips, which, mind you, when we

829
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: normally go Botanica, we just walk the path, we just

830
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: do the normal thing. So her being crazy about these tulips,

831
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: I was like, what is going on? And then you

832
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: guys were gone like half of the time in the beginning,

833
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,479
Speaker 1: because you were either in the bathroom getting a drink,

834
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: finding another place to get a drink, going to a

835
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: different bathroom, and I was just like, I don't understand

836
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: what's happening, and I'm just wandering aimlessly through Botanica, completely

837
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: unaware that I'm about to be proposed to.

838
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 2: So I get to the bathroom and I'm waiting out

839
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 2: there and I'm just sitting there waiting for someone to

840
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 2: pop out and say, oh, hey, Braiden. Fast forward five

841
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 2: minutes later, the dude that I had been standing next to,

842
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 2: all of a sudden seth was like, I think that's

843
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: a videographer and I like look at him and he's, oh,

844
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 2: are you Braiden? And I was like, are you Aaron?

845
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 2: And it like so real had just been sitting there, yeah,

846
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: And so popped the microphone in under my shirt. And

847
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 2: we were on our way back to the tulips, and

848
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 2: we had walked around a little bit and then I

849
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: was thinking I had a little bit more time. I

850
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: was like calming all my nerves from overcoming everything. And

851
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: we turned the corner and all of a sudden boom,

852
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: we're there. And I had a beer in my hand

853
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: and you.

854
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: Set it down, which also tipped me off because I

855
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: was like, you never say your beer down when we

856
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: take photos.

857
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 2: And so I set the beer down, and we were

858
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 2: we took a couple photos. Taylor was taking photos on

859
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: her phone, and then you saw a little someone pop out.

860
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I saw Stacy, the photographer. So Stacy and I

861
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 1: went to high school together. She's also been on this

862
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: podcast before, and she's done incredible work in all kinds

863
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: of photography, but particularly weddings and engagements and everything of

864
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: the like.

865
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 3: And so our.

866
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 1: Family's kind of all standing watching us take the photo,

867
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: which was not abnormal because the tree's down low and

868
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: you go take a photo and you trade off or whatever.

869
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: So my family was all right there and Taylor's taking

870
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: this photo of us, and I see Stacy's head pop

871
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: out behind my dad, and I was like, is that

872
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 1: Because again, if I saw her face there at that moment,

873
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: I was going to put it together. But as soon

874
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: as I finally figured it out, you were getting down

875
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: on one knee. So I didn't even have this list

876
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: second until not know that it was coming. It was

877
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: happening right then and there, and.

878
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 2: Then it was the moment.

879
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 3: And then it was the moment.

880
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 2: I got down on one knee. And I had been

881
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: reciting in my head over and over what I was

882
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: going to say and I got about halfway through it

883
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: and I definitely started tearing up.

884
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 3: And oh, I was tearing up from the beginning after

885
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 3: I said to you, what are you doing when you

886
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 3: were getting down on one knee.

887
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: Then there was just tears in my eyes, and I

888
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: was just like, I'm just going to see in your's

889
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: or I don't start sobbing uncontrollably.

890
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: It felt magical with the white lights and the Christmas tree,

891
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 2: and we love Christmas so much, and I was just

892
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: lost in that moment, and yeah, I just lost it

893
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: a little bit in the middle, and I just said,

894
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 2: I want to do everything with you, And do you.

895
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: Write down things that you wanted like this speech? Did

896
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: you write it down? Is it in your notesap on

897
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: your phone? Still you want to say what you had

898
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: planned to say? Yep, because I know you got most

899
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,760
Speaker 1: of it out, but there was things that you wanted

900
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 1: to add in there.

901
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, all you want me to just read the whole thing?

902
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to, you feel comfort, I want to.

903
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely you should say it.

904
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's getting ready. The eyes are welting.

905
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 2: All right. Here's what I actually had when I say

906
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: I love you more. It's not a competition. I've loved

907
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 2: you more each and every day since the night I

908
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 2: met you. March twenty ninth, at precisely eleven thirty pm.

909
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 2: My heart stops searching for its match the moment I

910
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 2: met you. I want to spend the rest of our

911
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: lives together, hand in hand. I want to laugh and

912
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 2: I want to cry. I want to succeed and fail.

913
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 2: I want to travel across the globe and watch movies

914
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: on the couch. I want to snuggle with Remy and

915
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 2: love on Miss Hazel. I want to be adventurous and lazy,

916
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 2: and I want to sing songs with all the wrong

917
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: lyrics and dance everywhere we go. I want to experience

918
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: everything this life has to offer as long as I

919
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 2: have one thing. You Morgan, will you marry You can't,

920
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 2: you can't be all deary.

921
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 3: I can't help it. It's so perfect.

922
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,919
Speaker 2: You're not I know.

923
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 3: It's like you're proposing all over again and me snore

924
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 3: couch next to us all she's here, Oh my gosh,

925
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 3: yeah it was.

926
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: You can have said any of it better, and all

927
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: of it was very self explanatory. But the fact that

928
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: I sing the lyrics wrong to every song. He loves

929
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: music Brandon is very much a music connoisseur, if you will,

930
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: and he loves to listen to music and play songs

931
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: and singing songs to.

932
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 3: Each others very much his love language.

933
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: And I will get in the car and he'll play songs,

934
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: and I can't feel life of me remember lyrics. So

935
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: I have very much turned into my father who does this,

936
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: And now I just make up my own lyrics.

937
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 3: So it's a common theme.

938
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: Whenever she changes the lyrics, I just go remix baby, just.

939
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 3: Which is often day.

940
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,439
Speaker 2: Often Yep, it'll be like from another room too. I'll

941
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 2: hear you you got the words wrong to Twinkle Little

942
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 2: Star the other day when you were singing to Collins.

943
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 2: I'm just like remix baby.

944
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: I cannot remember lyrics and by myself anymore, and I

945
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: have fully turned into my father, And that never used

946
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: to be a case until about three years ago, So I.

947
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 3: Don't know what happened. I used to be really good

948
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 3: actually at memorizing lyrics, probably COVID and all my issues

949
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 3: with COVID, but not anymore. So.

950
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: It actually has turned into a language for both of us.

951
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: And that's the only one that's in there that's not

952
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: self explanatory if you will, but I loved it. You

953
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: said every thing that I ever wanted to say, and

954
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: you Gosh, that moment, I was so teary, not just

955
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: because of what you were saying, because you've said and

956
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: have reiterated all of those things a million times over

957
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: to me in the times that we've been dating, but

958
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: more than that, you just in every single capacity, make

959
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: me feel seen, You make me feel loved, You make

960
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: me feel understood. And as you're getting down on one knee,

961
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: I was like having this realization where I was.

962
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 3: Like, it's finally happened.

963
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: I finally found the person that I've been wanting and

964
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: searching for and not settling for and not giving up

965
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: till I found this person who.

966
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 3: I knew existed but was so hard to find.

967
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: And you being down on one knee in front of me,

968
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: all of that was just like circulating in my brain

969
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: as I'm also listening to you and I'm crying, and

970
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: I'm just.

971
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 3: Trying to realized.

972
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: How incredible that moment was for me and for you,

973
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: for all the things that you've been through and the

974
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: experiences that you've had, and we're both sitting there and

975
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: just we've had our hearts torn apart, and to finally

976
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: be in this moment where it was so perfect and

977
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: so us and so just full of love and every capacity. Genuinely,

978
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: my heart was melting in every sense. And you did

979
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: everything so perfectly, even though I really tried to crash

980
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: it at every turn unintentionally, and I just the fact

981
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: that I also did so many things to make it

982
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: even harder on you, and you just were like, rolling

983
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: with every punch is the definition of who you are

984
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: as a human being, of just you've always rolled with everything,

985
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: and you love me and every single way that I am,

986
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: and I was every single way that I am on

987
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: our proposal day perfect and it was and it was

988
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: just everything about it was so perfect and you couldn't

989
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: have done better if you tried, honestly. And it was

990
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: funny because he recites his what he's going to say

991
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: and he gets done, and he asked me to marry him,

992
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: and I'm and I say yes, of course, I'm crying.

993
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: You can't really hear it. And I'm like, yes, of course,

994
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 1: of course I'll marry you. And then I like force

995
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: him to get up and I'm like, hug me, kiss me.

996
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 3: That's all I care about right now.

997
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: I just want to hug you, and you hear me

998
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: say yes a million times yes in this kind of moment,

999
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: and we're hugging and it's such a sweet moment. And

1000
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 1: then he pulls back from me and he's like, did

1001
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: you want the ring?

1002
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 3: And I was like, yes, I very much do.

1003
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 2: At that point, I hadn't even opened so I opened

1004
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 2: the box as you were saying, come up and hug me.

1005
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 2: And so it's funny you can see in some of

1006
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 2: the pictures I'm hugging you in the ring box is open.

1007
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 2: You hadn't even looked at the ring, which is awesome

1008
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 2: for me because it's, oh, you loved me. You're not

1009
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 2: just looking for a diamond, not even close.

1010
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: Like I was so happy of everything else that, like

1011
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:10,959
Speaker 1: the diamond was such a second.

1012
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 3: Thought for me.

1013
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: It became the main thought obviously after it was happening

1014
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: and he put it on and I was like, holy crap.

1015
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: There's a photo where I literally am like I think

1016
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: I said holy crap twenty five times in the whole

1017
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: process where I'm just looking down, Holy shit, holy shit,

1018
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: there's a ring on my hand. And he did amazing

1019
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,720
Speaker 1: and all the things, but in that moment, no, nothing

1020
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: else mattered. It was just you and me and in

1021
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: that moment happening, which.

1022
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 2: Was a beautiful aspect of it for sure.

1023
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: And then we gotta go say hi to all of

1024
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: my family and my mom was crying, my dad was crying,

1025
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: Taylor was so excited, and my other sister was crying.

1026
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: It was funny because it was the first moment you

1027
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 1: got to meet her, same moment meeting him, while also

1028
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: the proposal happens. Yeah, within the stretch of about an

1029
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: hour and a half.

1030
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 2: It was like, so nice to meet you. We're going

1031
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 2: to be a lot closer in a second.

1032
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: And she was so excited because she's met him of

1033
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 1: her face time and stuff like that. But we've definitely

1034
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: had a lot of conversations and she's known all about you,

1035
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: and they've loved everything about you, so it felt like

1036
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: they already knew you. But it was funny that particular

1037
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: relationship was happening in that moment.

1038
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 2: You Dancing with Collins was one of my favorite parts

1039
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 2: of after saying I'm a f.

1040
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 3: I did do that. There's a little cup of me

1041
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 3: doing that like I'm the fiance.

1042
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: And then so we walked around Botanica, and I'm just like,

1043
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 1: at this point, I'm glazed over. There's too much excitement happening.

1044
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm not really paying attention to the lights. And we're

1045
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: enjoying it and it's beautiful and all the amazing things.

1046
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 1: We go home, our first calls to his family and

1047
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,919
Speaker 1: we got to FaceTime and share all the exciting news

1048
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: with them and talk to them about all of it,

1049
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: and then we facetimed a bunch of our friends and

1050
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: then we got to play games and hang out and

1051
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: it was just everything about it was perfect.

1052
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 3: Oh andy.

1053
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, you're missing a big part

1054
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 2: of the story.

1055
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 3: Because you want to remy there.

1056
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: You tried a bunch of things to try and get

1057
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: her there, but it was not going to happen without

1058
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: again tipping me off. And if you haven't realized in

1059
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: this entire story.

1060
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 3: Again I figure out everything.

1061
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,479
Speaker 1: I'm realizing a really bad trait, sometimes great trait.

1062
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 3: Most of the time it's a.

1063
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 2: Good trait, just not when you're getting proposed to, yeah.

1064
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,280
Speaker 3: Or having a surprise in general.

1065
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1066
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: So we get home from the proposal and literally the

1067
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: first thing I say when I walk in the door,

1068
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: I was.

1069
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 3: Like, Remy, you're getting a permanent dad.

1070
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 2: So I run to the bedroom as a permanent dad,

1071
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 2: and I grab a little dog toy that I had

1072
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 2: mailed to Taylor and Seth, and it was a little

1073
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 2: soft chew toy of an engagement ring. And I got

1074
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: down on one knee and I asked Remy if she

1075
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 2: would be my dog t and she sniffed the toy

1076
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 2: and ran away.

1077
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 3: She didn't take the ring.

1078
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 2: And then Lola, little Lola comes over. It gras which.

1079
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: If nobody knows the Laura of Lola, Lola is a

1080
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,919
Speaker 1: dog that I rescued from the streets in Nashville and

1081
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: my parents ended up adopting her.

1082
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 3: So it was so ironic that she was the one

1083
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 3: that walked over and was like, yeah, I'll take that ring.

1084
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 2: I'll take that.

1085
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: It was funny. I was like joking.

1086
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: Remy said no, Remy like definitely declined that. But had

1087
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: you put a tree in there, she would have said

1088
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: yes a million times.

1089
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah I should know better.

1090
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 3: You should have. You should have.

1091
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: But it was a hilarious video and moment of where

1092
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: he tried to propose, and it was really sweet. But

1093
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: Remy just being Remy as she's so nonchalant. And if

1094
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: you're watching this on YouTube, which I hope you are,

1095
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: she's been laying in between us the entire time, touching

1096
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 1: both of us. She is just as much obsessed with

1097
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: him as she is with me. Now, which is what rude,

1098
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: because I've had her for ten years and he's been

1099
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: in her life for one almost one rude.

1100
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 3: It was that way for both of us.

1101
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: So it's fine, and that's a big reason why I

1102
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: knew between Hazel and Remy, you were.

1103
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:17,240
Speaker 3: The perfect match.

1104
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 2: My girls. I remember the first day that I said.

1105
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 3: My girls to me Remy and Hazel.

1106
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 2: I don't remember the exact date, but I remember texting

1107
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 2: it to you and saying something about my girls, and

1108
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 2: You're like, ooh, my heart just dropped a little bit.

1109
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 2: That was amazing.

1110
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, good heart drop, Yeah, good, good heart drop.

1111
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1112
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: What was your favorite moment for the entire day engagement

1113
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: leading up to it, What was your favorite moment.

1114
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 3: Of all of it?

1115
00:55:53,760 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 2: Oh? Gosh, it there was something really special about watching

1116
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 2: you embrace both your parents, like that hug with your

1117
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 2: mom and then your dad crying off to the side,

1118
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 2: and in between hugs, you'd look down at your ring

1119
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 2: and it was just like it was so special and

1120
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 2: it was just this is happening, like this is it.

1121
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 2: We found our person, and it was just the surprise happened.

1122
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 2: Family was there, so family, a beautiful location, sweet ram.

1123
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 2: Her time came later, and so it just I don't know,

1124
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 2: it just felt right. And after carrying around that ring,

1125
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 2: Alison said, she said, the moment you get that ring,

1126
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 2: it's just going to be burning a hole in your pocket.

1127
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 2: And it was it being in the suitcase and it

1128
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 2: being hidden in the bedroom, and I know then it

1129
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 2: was finally and then calling my family and I remember

1130
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 2: Ashton saying I have a sister. That was that because

1131
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: Ashton and I are so close, and her being so excited.

1132
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 3: And when we got.

1133
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 1: Home, not to forget this mention, your mom and sister

1134
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: had snuck into the house while we were gone and

1135
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: decorated and your sister got somebody commissioned somebody to make

1136
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: a really beautiful banner that said congratulations to mister and

1137
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: missus Everley, and there was balloons everywhere and pretty cupcakes

1138
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: and a picture of us from our engagement night. And

1139
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: it was so sweet, like the genuinely the outpouring of

1140
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: love and congratulations, not just from our families and not

1141
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: just from our friends and everybody that was excited, because

1142
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: what's so funny is any of our friends who have

1143
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 1: spent any significant time with us were not shocked in

1144
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: the slightest like they were shocked because they were getting

1145
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: an engagement at FaceTime, but it was like, oh, yeah,

1146
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: we knew this was coming, this was going to happen.

1147
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: Like there was not a single person who was like, oh, yeah,

1148
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: we didn't know this wouldn't happen, And that was so cool.

1149
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: All of those things, in your family's reaction to welcoming

1150
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: me in and being so supportive of you and our

1151
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: relationship and just welcoming me in the entire way of

1152
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: not just like in all of our meetings, but in

1153
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: every way, and them surprising us with that, and the

1154
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: love that we felt. Again also on social media too,

1155
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: of the outpour of people that were reaching out and

1156
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: wanted to show up and celebrate us, and just genuinely

1157
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: overwhelms me in so many ways because it's such a

1158
00:58:56,040 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: cool community that both of us have created in our

1159
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: personal lives, on my online life, my life with the show,

1160
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: and just all of it combined. There was so much love,

1161
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: so much support, and I felt so celebrated and so

1162
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: special in that moment, and I hope.

1163
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 3: You did too.

1164
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 2: I did, I very much did. I think. One of

1165
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 2: the first messages I got was from my sixth grade teacher,

1166
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 2: Miss Mackenzie. She's been a big fan of our relationship,

1167
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 2: and she called us a handsome couple.

1168
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 3: We are a.

1169
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: Handsome cop handsome. We're also a beautiful couple. We're also

1170
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: a gorgeous couple.

1171
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 2: We're all of it, every single thing, and so yeah,

1172
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 2: it was Yes. The response was just so positive and

1173
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 2: everyone was just so excited, and I know the people

1174
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 2: who have listened to your full story, like people were

1175
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 2: just so excited for you, and that just makes me

1176
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 2: feel good that I'm the safe space. That's huge for me.

1177
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: You've been the safe space since the week we started

1178
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: hanging out, and I was reluctant to it in the

1179
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: beginning because I was like, there ain't no way somebody's

1180
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: gonna finally come in and do this. I was pretty

1181
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: reluctant that it was ever gonna happen. I was very

1182
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:21,959
Speaker 1: much in that headspace where it there's just no chance

1183
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: nobody that I'm the person that I'm looking for doesn't exist,

1184
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: but genuinely like you getting down on one knee was

1185
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: that moment for me where I realized all of the

1186
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: times that I had been told so many different things

1187
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: from you need to bring your expectations down, you need

1188
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: to change this about your appearance, you need to go

1189
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: about it this way, you need to do this that way,

1190
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: You need to stop going on datsing, you stop doing this,

1191
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: And I just.

1192
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 3: Meeting you was proof of everything that.

1193
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: I had done correctly, every lesson I learned, every experience

1194
01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: that I had, every moment that led up to it.

1195
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 3: You were proof that I did everything that I.

1196
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: Was supposed to do for my life, not necessarily for

1197
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: anybody else's, because everybody else's journey is different, but I

1198
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: did everything that was necessary for me to find the

1199
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 1: person that I was supposed to find, and that was

1200
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: you and you getting down on your knee and that

1201
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: proposal happening, and I.

1202
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 3: Think, my word vomit of what are you doing.

1203
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: Was so encapsulated by just all of the things that

1204
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: I was thinking in that moment where I was like,

1205
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:35,919
Speaker 1: holy shit, I have finally found it. I finally found

1206
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: the person that I fell in love with. That I

1207
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: realized was my person that I realized was everything that

1208
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: I've ever wanted in a partner, and holy crap, I

1209
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: did it. I went from being the girl who is

1210
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: sitting in my therapist office saying I'm just gonna have

1211
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: to deal with somebody cheating on me for the rest

1212
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: of my life to finding the most insanely incredible, empathetic,

1213
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 1: kind human being as my partner. And I'm now freaking engaged,

1214
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: Like I don't know how and why and what all

1215
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: brought that together, but I feel incredibly lucky and very

1216
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: happy and just also proud of myself. And I'm proud

1217
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: of you for both of us continuing to fight the

1218
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: good fight to find the perfect person for us.

1219
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 3: And we did that. We both did that. And you

1220
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 3: did this.

1221
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 2: You did That's something she said right after. I propose

1222
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 2: she should look down at her ring and go, you

1223
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 2: did that. You did that to do that. I'm very

1224
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 2: proud of that.

1225
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of us. There's always going to be

1226
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: people who love to say things and have doubts and

1227
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: have all kinds of things. And you haven't had a

1228
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: doubt since the moment that we met. I haven't had

1229
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: a doubt since our first date, and my heart didn't

1230
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: have a doubt since our first date.

1231
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 3: My head took a while to catch up to her.

1232
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: But it's just so cool to be in this moment

1233
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: that we're in right now, and I'm so excited. We

1234
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: don't have anything planned whatsoever, we have no answers to anything.

1235
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 3: That'll be a while, we'll figure it out.

1236
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: And Brayden very much looked at me after he proposed

1237
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: and was like, I'll marry you today, tomorrow, or five

1238
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 1: years from now, it does not matter to me.

1239
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm not busy right now. I'm ready. You are, I'm ready, and.

1240
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out and we're gonna do all the fun,

1241
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: exciting things, and we're going to plan this wedding and

1281
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, you are a baby. You did this.

1282
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: One thing that I forgot to mention during this whole

1283
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: engagement story was about my nails. So several people asked

1284
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: online when we posted the announcement, was like, hey, what.

1285
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 3: Was up with your nails?

1286
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: Because they were definitely not done in some of the

1287
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: pictures and some of the other ones you had nails on.

1288
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: So let me just preface this by saying, none of

1289
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: it was ai, none of it was faked, none of

1290
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: it was staged anything like that. There was a lot

1291
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: of rumor circulating about my nails online.

1292
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 3: I'm not a nail done girly. I rarely paint my nails.

1293
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: I rarely get them done. It's very often that you'll

1294
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: see me with bare nails. And my boyfriend now fiance

1295
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 1: knew that if he tipped me off to go get

1296
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: my nails done, then I would have known that something

1297
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 1: was happening, aka ruining the surprise once again. And so

1298
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: my sister when we got into town, had seen our

1299
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Christmas photo that we did together posted on social media,

1300
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: and she made a joke about it, saying, hey, your

1301
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: nails look like chicken breast.

1302
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 3: Why would you have not painted your nails for that photo?

1303
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, First that was rude, and

1304
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: second of all, I don't care because that's just who

1305
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: I am, and it went straight over my head. But

1306
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,439
Speaker 1: she was insulting me, trying to give me to paint

1307
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: my nails. It did not work and true Morgan behavior.

1308
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: So thankfully, my fiance knew me so well that he

1309
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: made sure to have my sister bring along some fake

1310
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: press on nails that I could put on if I

1311
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: wanted to for any of the photos.

1312
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 3: So after the engagement happened, she.

1313
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: Walked up to us, offered me some of the nails,

1314
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: and I put them on my engagement ring hand for

1315
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: some of the photos, and then by like the later

1316
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: part of the night, I put on the other hand,

1317
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: so I wasn't walking around.

1318
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 3: With just half of press on nails.

1319
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: But that is the whole nail saga for anybody who

1320
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 1: is trying to figure that out online with all of

1321
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: the photos. If you have any other questions about our engagement,

1322
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: the whole story, anything around that, then go to the
