Speaker 3: page because I posted it later. They were like, I
Speaker 3: don't know her, but that dress fit her perfectly.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: Not every wedding dress is great, but yours was beautiful
Speaker 3: and it fit you like it was like literally it
Speaker 3: looked custom made for your body.
Speaker 1: Well it was there enough money on tailoring that that
Speaker 1: makes me feel so justified.
Speaker 2: I know it was Honestly, it was perfect. And then
Speaker 2: your hair. I was wondering.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, ooh, how's Mandy gonna wear her hair?
Speaker 3: Because I know you're natural. I was like, is she
Speaker 3: gonna be curly? Like how's it gonna go? But honestly,
Speaker 3: that where you were, your hair was perfectly, like it
Speaker 3: fit them dressed perfectly because it was like old school
Speaker 3: yet like you know, I know you like you straightened it,
Speaker 3: but it wasn't like you got a perm but it like,
Speaker 3: you know, so you had fullness because you know, firms
Speaker 3: take away all the fullness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was perfect. And you had like this pretty.
Speaker 3: Little baret in the back that I like that held
Speaker 3: on to your your your your veil.
Speaker 1: That was my sister. She let me borrow it.
Speaker 3: Oh, it was really pretty. Honestly, it was perfect because
Speaker 3: you weren't working. You know, some people were like a
Speaker 3: lot of jewely. You weren't wearing like a lot of jewely,
Speaker 3: so it was a nice little like bejeweled touch. And
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, it's her dad gonna cry. Dad.
Speaker 1: My dad low Ki had probably like half a bottle
Speaker 1: of apple brandy before the wedding.
Speaker 2: He was hilarious.
Speaker 3: First of all, your dad was over there like getting
Speaker 3: something and your brother came because you guys were like
Speaker 3: after the wedding, so, well, what anyway during the wedding,
Speaker 3: you're officient?
Speaker 2: What do you call him? An afici?
Speaker 3: Right? So it was what was his name, Frank, Frank whatever?
Speaker 1: Really good friends? Frank.
Speaker 3: Yeah, amazed when I say amazing, amazing. First of all,
Speaker 3: I was like, Frank, you do this on the side
Speaker 3: or something, because I need to do my wedding.
Speaker 2: He was hilarious.
Speaker 3: So instead of doing a traditional sermon, did like the
Speaker 3: story of husband and Mandy how they met.
Speaker 2: But it was so funny. It was like sweet, it
Speaker 2: was funny.
Speaker 3: It was like every emotion we're all going through in
Speaker 3: the audience together and we were damn near hugged afterwards,
Speaker 3: like oh my.
Speaker 1: God, oh kind of make me cry again. I've been
Speaker 1: like such a wreck.
Speaker 3: It was so amazing, Yo, Frank was literally perfect. I
Speaker 3: mean perfect, because like I said, he was funny. He
Speaker 3: was a little irreverent, but then it was sweet. And
Speaker 3: then it was like, oh, it's just like all so
Speaker 3: many peaks and valleys and I was like, oh, like
Speaker 3: it was just such an awesome He did such a
Speaker 3: great job with the sermon part. And then Mandy, being Mandy,
Speaker 3: of course, was like, wait till I read my vows,
Speaker 3: you guys are gonna love that. She literally said that
Speaker 3: upside so I love that because that is so you
Speaker 3: and you're like, it's so good.
Speaker 2: They're so good.
Speaker 3: What I loved is that I loved how your vows
Speaker 3: and husband's vows that they weren't the same. But clearly
Speaker 3: you had a template because thing like that you didn't
Speaker 3: mean like a basic template like I promised you. I
Speaker 3: love the promises at the end that you guys made
Speaker 3: to each other. They were both really beautiful. And then yeah,
Speaker 3: it just was the service itself, like I said, I
Speaker 3: usually like usually the ceremony, I'm like I can take
Speaker 3: it or leave it. And then like where you had
Speaker 3: your reception, which is like right upstairs, which is great
Speaker 3: because I hate having to get into the car to drive.
Speaker 3: Totally agree on the sidebar. As we waited for the food,
Speaker 3: like the the appetizers were freaking yummy.
Speaker 2: People were like attacking the waiter.
Speaker 3: I thought so bad at them had like you had
Speaker 3: chicken and waffle bites, which were delicious. Yes, I don't
Speaker 3: even think he got two feet He was like, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, there's more. All we back people were like
Speaker 3: shut up and give me one and then but my
Speaker 3: favorite I must have had like six to them, and
Speaker 3: like I didn't want the one waiter who had them
Speaker 3: to see me, so I kept finding like another waiter.
Speaker 3: But the empanadas were everything.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yes, I'm so glad the food. See,
Speaker 1: we tried all that stuff. I didn't get by the way,
Speaker 1: I barely ate any of the food that we paid
Speaker 1: for because you know, of like we had to be
Speaker 1: walking and I wanted to just dance or whatever. But
Speaker 1: we I tasted everything. So we had a tasting back
Speaker 1: in November. So it makes me so happy because those
Speaker 1: chicken and waffles were everything, and we like that was
Speaker 1: a specific I've never we did, like a custom menu,
Speaker 1: and it was so cool because we wanted to like
Speaker 1: incorporate I love that, like a Latin and Southern.
Speaker 3: Sort of thing did perfectly, honestly, And that's what it
Speaker 3: was about it that it was very clear that both
Speaker 3: cultures were were represented because it's like, ooh, chicken waffles
Speaker 3: so yummy and Banaa is oohioso, you know, and just
Speaker 3: like I love that even though it's outside and it
Speaker 3: was like Savannah and now anyway, it was a little
Speaker 3: bit cool, but you know, the heaters made it and
Speaker 3: it just was so pretty. The reception where you had
Speaker 3: it like you know, the covering of like the tent,
Speaker 3: and then the food. I was like, Mandy had it.
Speaker 2: I told everyone, I'm like, there was a biscuit bar.
Speaker 3: I never even heard of one. People were like, biscuit.
Speaker 3: I'm like, all the way back to New Jersey and
Speaker 3: there was some hunt any honey gravy that you could
Speaker 3: literally slap on like a bark of a tree and
Speaker 3: eat it. That's how good that honey gravy was.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'll take your word for it.
Speaker 3: It was so good. The shrimp kebobs were delicious. It
Speaker 3: was just the food was really good. And then the
Speaker 3: music was like it was such a great mix of like, oh,
Speaker 3: traditional wedding music. Of course we did every line dance,
Speaker 3: which I loved, and then there was definitely Latin music
Speaker 3: where ever they could swing their hips if they wanted to.
Speaker 3: And then there was like a mix of like I
Speaker 3: guess contemporary pop, which I didn't know any of the word.
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know this one who shit
Speaker 3: to pull bull dog but it was great and just
Speaker 3: like the music that you guys danced out to were
Speaker 3: just it Just what I like is that somebodies are
Speaker 3: so uptight and you're like, oh, is anybody having fun?
Speaker 3: But everyone was having such a good time. That's what
Speaker 3: I liked about it that it just.
Speaker 2: It didn't seem pretentious.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like, you know, I don't know, Like I said,
Speaker 3: some weddings you go to because you have to, and
Speaker 3: you're like, all right, I'm ready to go. But this
Speaker 3: one was like fun the whole, from the beginning to
Speaker 3: the end. I'm like, this is such a It made
Speaker 3: me and normally, you know, I was like, I'm.
Speaker 2: Not having a Dagon wedding. We're going to Justine's piece.
Speaker 2: And I was like I could see it.
Speaker 3: Maybe if it's like this, like it's happening, that's what
Speaker 3: That's what it takes. I was like, I was telling Superman.
Speaker 3: I was like, wait, Mandy's wedding was good. I might wait,
Speaker 3: I don't know. He was like, oh boy, and what
Speaker 3: they have to say is your friend, I am. Any
Speaker 3: of my friends that are listening, thank you so much,
Speaker 3: because literally every single one of me and these friends
Speaker 3: or family member was like, oh.

Speaker 1: Totally I told you. I told you you will not
Speaker 1: stay alone.
Speaker 3: None of my family, your friends listened to the podcast.

Speaker 3: so nice. I was like, Wow, this is what support

Speaker 2: Name because you don't listen anyway. But that part I
Speaker 2: really loved. Who is that?
Speaker 3: How much you know they really like are into like
Speaker 3: what you do? And it was like the UN I
Speaker 3: was like, Maddy has a friend from every race and
Speaker 3: it was literally like we need Asian check.
Speaker 1: I know it looked like I did it like like
Speaker 1: from a marketing perspective, like when we get bridesmaids of
Speaker 1: every shade the right.
Speaker 3: Literally I was, I mean Indian, like I don't know
Speaker 3: if Chinese, Japanese. I means I just being the meat.
Speaker 3: I mean it was literally every race there meet and
Speaker 3: Nick for Magnified Money. We were like, wow, Maddy has
Speaker 3: the un a friend, so you do.
Speaker 2: It was just really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm already starting to cry again.
Speaker 2: I've never Yeah, it was great honestly, Maddy, well done.
Speaker 2: You know. Husby was like, yeah, she she did it all.
Speaker 1: I really did. I really did. But it was so important.
Speaker 1: It's like everything you're saying is everything I wanted it
Speaker 1: to be, which was like a celebration not just of
Speaker 1: like you know, marriage is, you know, obviously the point,
Speaker 1: but like the fact that like the only reason I
Speaker 1: could just having a wedding, as if we were going
Speaker 1: to do it and we're going to have the most
Speaker 1: amazing time and we're going to give people the most
Speaker 1: amazing party they were going to talk about for years,
Speaker 1: And every picture and every video that I've seen has
Speaker 1: been like it was worth it. Like to see my
Speaker 1: like nineteen year old baby cousin Anna, who was my bridesmaid,
Speaker 1: who I used to babysit when I lived in there
Speaker 1: my uncle's basement after college, when I was broke, you know,
Speaker 1: if she was twelve, to see her be a bridesmaid,
Speaker 1: and then to see her dancing with my my sister's
Speaker 1: wife who's from Wisconsin, and like seeing my mom dancing
Speaker 1: with Enrique's Dominican dad, and like you like just all
Speaker 1: those its like crossover of life, man, and all those
Speaker 1: moments when just watching, because when you're in it, you
Speaker 1: don't like, I'm seeing things happen. But there's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff that I missed, And I've literally be spening
Speaker 1: the last like seventy two hours just reading, like watching
Speaker 1: every video, looking at every photo I can, and just
Speaker 1: reliving every moment and waking up with a huge stupid
Speaker 1: smile on my face.
Speaker 3: And now it was I mean, honestly, it was just great.
Speaker 3: Like what I thought was so awesome was like when
Speaker 3: I I met well, I mean, I knew as soon
Speaker 3: as I saw a husband's mom, I'm like, Okay, that
Speaker 3: is clearly his mom, your mom and his mom. There's
Speaker 3: something about moms who have kids that are getting married.
Speaker 2: It's the same.
Speaker 3: I mean, they look like twins on the inside because
Speaker 3: they were both like, it's my day, it's my day.
Speaker 1: It was their day, Oh was it?
Speaker 3: That's what I love is that, like they both your
Speaker 3: mom is so adorable. I was like, look at Mandy's mom.
Speaker 3: She was clearly like you know, I mean, Manny's getting.
Speaker 2: Married, but it's my day.
Speaker 3: Just so we're clear. Yeah, they were both so so
Speaker 3: adorable and they're both so excited, like, yes, the day
Speaker 3: had finally arrived, so that I thought was really cute.
Speaker 3: When you guys, because Mandy had a picnic the day
Speaker 3: before the wedding, and because.
Speaker 2: I didn't really know any of your friends by sight,
Speaker 2: I'm looking.
Speaker 3: I'm looking, and I'm like, okay, there's a group, a
Speaker 3: motley crew of group, and I'm looking, and then I
Speaker 3: saw a guy that looked just like Drake. Sorry, Mandy's brother.
Speaker 3: He told me not to call him that, but whatever,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, there's Drake, literally Manny's brother. When
Speaker 3: I say Drake, I mean build heights, frame faith, Like.
Speaker 3: He looks so much like Drake it's ridiculous. And as
Speaker 3: soon as I saw Drake, I was like, Drake's putting
Speaker 3: up the tent. That must be the you weren't there yet,
Speaker 3: that must be the party right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of silly. Then now that he started
Speaker 1: bulking up, he looks like even more. But whatever, I'm
Speaker 1: done defending him, Like, just call him Drake, it doesn't matter, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's worse things too, there's worse people to look like.
Speaker 3: He can goin, right, Drake is good looking. Yeah, everything
Speaker 3: was really Yeah, it was just a great weekend and honestly,
Speaker 3: you just chose a perfect place because Savannah it's such
Speaker 3: a great backdrop.
Speaker 2: There's certain cities that you.
Speaker 3: Know, you go and you're just there for the wedding
Speaker 3: because you know the city itself, you know, there's nothing
Speaker 3: really to do Summerset in New Jersey or something. You know,
Speaker 3: but nothing does anything wrong with Summerset. But the city
Speaker 3: itself doesn't necessarily lend itself to like good times on
Speaker 3: its own, you know. But Savannah itself is a destination.
Speaker 3: So it just was a great backdrop to your wedding.
Speaker 1: The fact that so many it was you know, well,
Speaker 1: we need to like set this up. I need to
Speaker 1: so behind the scenes this week Savannah. The day of
Speaker 1: the wedding was just I mean, it was like Savannah said,
Speaker 1: and I am going to bless this union with the
Speaker 1: best day of weather. Yeah not too hot, not too cold,
Speaker 1: and like a cloudless sky the entire day. But let
Speaker 1: me tell the week leading up to it, because we
Speaker 1: got down there on Tuesday and Tuesday Wednesday were my
Speaker 1: big busy days. I was like, we have so much
Speaker 1: to do these last two days. My sister was there,
Speaker 1: my rider died, made a matron of honor, who you know,
Speaker 1: I just just you know, have never loved more in
Speaker 1: my life than than this week when she was supporting
Speaker 1: me so much. But anyway, we were running around like
Speaker 1: and on Wednesday I was we were looking at the weather,
Speaker 1: and the weather looked great for the wedding day. And
Speaker 1: on Wednesday it was like, oh, chance of thunderstorm, but
Speaker 1: it kept getting moved ahead every hour. You know it's
Speaker 1: gonna hit at three, and then I was going to
Speaker 1: head at four and there all these really ugly dark
Speaker 1: clouds were sort of just behind the horizon all day long,
Speaker 1: and I was saying, I was like, oh, look the
Speaker 1: weather is just going to hold out for me so
Speaker 1: I can finish all these errands. Look at it go
Speaker 1: so nice. Little did I know that this huge storm
Speaker 1: system was going to screw up, like all the flights
Speaker 1: of people trying to get in on Wednesday, because everybody important,
Speaker 1: well not important, but like everyone in the wedding, most
Speaker 1: of the bridesmaids and grooms when we're coming in Wednesday night,
Speaker 1: and many of them were flying in from New York
Speaker 1: City and on rehearsal day because of the storm, people
Speaker 1: couldn't get in. So on the day of the rehearsal
Speaker 1: on Thursday, we had we're missing like half the groomsmen.
Speaker 1: I already was pretty sure that one of our dear, dear,
Speaker 1: dear friends, who's the wife of one of our groomsho
Speaker 1: wasn't being able to come at all. I had a
Speaker 1: friend who was stuck trying to get here from Missouri
Speaker 1: and her flight was canceled, and just oh and so
Speaker 1: you have that going on. But like I remember, at
Speaker 1: a certain point, like this week was brought to you
Speaker 1: by meditation, because I kept telling myself like, Okay, everything
Speaker 1: is happened, like things are going wrong, but you still
Speaker 1: have a lot of people here who you know, are important,
Speaker 1: a lot of people who have come and some you know,
Speaker 1: Thank God, Enrique's parents managed to get in somehow, somehow
Speaker 1: they got in at a six pm flight with his
Speaker 1: brother and his brother's girlfriend. They all made it. It
Speaker 1: was the people here on the later flights, like eight
Speaker 1: and nine o'clock on Delta. For some reason, Delta really
Speaker 1: just lost his damn mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was on Delta, and I when I say
Speaker 3: I never fly Delta never they canceled. It was only
Speaker 3: by the grace of God, Like I think I came
Speaker 3: in Thursday morning, and I just missed the storm the
Speaker 3: night before in the Savannah, and I just missed it
Speaker 3: as it was coming to New Jersey. As I was
Speaker 3: flying off, it started to drizzle and then I heard
Speaker 3: as soon as I you know, like, so I didn't
Speaker 3: have any trouble getting into Savannah. But that's because I
Speaker 3: missed the storms on both in Georgia and Jersey at
Speaker 3: the same time.
Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, and then flying home.
Speaker 3: I flew home Sunday morning, and in the evening they
Speaker 3: kept sending me texting, your flight is poked back fifteen minutes,
Speaker 3: your fighters pushed back twenty minutes, your fliers pooked back
Speaker 3: two hours. And I woke up like three o'clock in
Speaker 3: the morning it was like, your flight is pushed back
Speaker 3: like six hours. And I was like, uh so, I
Speaker 3: thankfully I was able to go online and find another flight,
Speaker 3: and I booked myself and I said, okay, and I'm
Speaker 3: going to head to the airport early just in case.
Speaker 3: And sure enough I was able getting out of Savannah.
Speaker 3: That was the hard part, I thought. So I finally
Speaker 3: was able to get on a flight. I didn't wait
Speaker 3: long because I was like constantly on my computer, like
Speaker 3: rebooking myself. And I got to Georgia Atlanta because I
Speaker 3: had to fly from for whatever reason, Savannah to Atlanta.
Speaker 3: It was a cheaper ticket, like getting out of Atlanta.
Speaker 3: They were like, oh, yeah, you're one o'clock is canceled.
Speaker 2: We put you on a nine PM. I'm like, what, No,
Speaker 2: it doesn't eve make any sad, So.
Speaker 3: I'm going online. I rebooked myself. I don't know why
Speaker 3: they put nine pm. I rebooked myself on my computer
Speaker 3: at three and then I looked at the board and
Speaker 3: the board said there's a flight leaving in twenty minutes
Speaker 3: to Newark.
Speaker 2: I run to the.
Speaker 3: Gate, like could you get me on this flight?
Speaker 2: And the lady was like get on now. So I
Speaker 2: just made it with five minutes to spare.
Speaker 3: I know, so I mean it. I saw bad. I
Speaker 3: don't know what happened with Delta. I'm like, so many
Speaker 3: people are still we're still struggling with Delta.
Speaker 1: Days after, yes, days after, and it did sadly, like
Speaker 1: I would say, a handful of people didn't weren't able
Speaker 1: to come at all because of that whole situation. And
Speaker 1: you know, one of the Enriga's best best best friends
Speaker 1: was a groomsman and he was stuck. And not only
Speaker 1: was he stuck, but his baby girl, eight months or
Speaker 1: nine month old daughter was really really sick at the airport.
Speaker 1: But by the grace of God, like the the two
Speaker 1: groomsmen we were missing, arrived five am the day of
Speaker 1: the wedding, I think or four am, and we're able
Speaker 1: to be there. And my one of my men of honor,
Speaker 1: Baron Brown, who's a huge fan, so I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: him a shout out, hey bear, he was he was
Speaker 1: stuck in Atlanta and managed to still get here. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so there was there was all these you know emotions,
Speaker 1: You have the tension with like this what was happening
Speaker 1: with the flights, But then you have the rehearsal day,
Speaker 1: which was gorgeous, and you know, I did have a
Speaker 1: lot of people there, and I really I just had
Speaker 1: to tell myself just to be in the moment, because
Speaker 1: I didn't want to look back on this week and
Speaker 1: have any regrets of how, you know, or missing anything
Speaker 1: or being out of the you know, being out of
Speaker 1: it or being cranky or being or whatever. So I
Speaker 1: just really really put my head in a good place
Speaker 1: and one of the things I did that I would
Speaker 1: tell anyone who's planning any sort of event, like I
Speaker 1: know that I need like an hour at least before anything,
Speaker 1: just to be alone and to be quiet, like in
Speaker 1: the dark and the like, you know, or just with
Speaker 1: you know, one or two people. And that's what I
Speaker 1: did the day of the rehearsal. And that's what I did.
Speaker 1: I built into the timeline because I had every hour
Speaker 1: of the wedding day planned as realistically as possible, but
Speaker 1: I built in an hour an hour and a half
Speaker 1: of just me sitting in a room at the venue
Speaker 1: where I was just with a couple of bridesmaids, you know,
Speaker 1: and no one was allowed to bother me, like no knocking,
Speaker 1: no photographer, no video, no nothing. And I just sat
Speaker 1: there and I was braiding my best friend Kristen's hair,
Speaker 1: who's a bridesmaid, because her hair was all. It was
Speaker 1: so windy that day, like like the the wind was nuts.
Speaker 1: We were taking we did photos before the wedding, and
Speaker 1: my mom was like running when we were doing make
Speaker 1: hair and makeup. She was running around with hairspray and
Speaker 1: chasing me. She's like, come here, it's not gonna stay
Speaker 1: I swear to god, I had like a gallon of
Speaker 1: hairspray on my hair.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: It was because the hair stylist was amazing. And that's
Speaker 1: a whole story, honestly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you I didn't really I saw your picture
Speaker 3: on Instagram where she was straightening. I said, wow. I mean,
Speaker 3: I alway knew you had a lot of hair, but
Speaker 3: I'm like Mattie, I've got a lot of hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was what I loved. I found a natural
Speaker 1: hair stylist in Savannah, and I loved her. I got
Speaker 1: so lucky because I don't I mean, I literally had
Speaker 1: to just google. I don't know any hairstylists there. I
Speaker 1: didn't know any I didn't know any African American women
Speaker 1: I could talk to in Savannah about where do you
Speaker 1: get your hair done? And also you're entrusting someone with
Speaker 1: your like the huge wedding day, and I didn't know
Speaker 1: if I wanted to do curly or straight. I needed
Speaker 1: someone who could do either. I found Divine Allure Salon,
Speaker 1: which was owned by a woman named Aliyah, and I
Speaker 1: got in touch with them. They they didn't have any
Speaker 1: bridal photos, but I liked what I saw on their website,
Speaker 1: I could at least tell, okay, well she knows how
Speaker 1: to work a flat iron and she also knows how
Speaker 1: to work some curl Okay. So I booked them, and
Speaker 1: I booked them for my two cousins too, and I
Speaker 1: did not meet her until Tuesday when I went when
Speaker 1: I landed in Savannah, I went straight to her for
Speaker 1: a hair trial.
Speaker 3: Okay, and at the hair that you with the wind
Speaker 3: at the wedding was like the hair that you got

Speaker 1: I kind of planned my outfits as if I was
Speaker 1: going on a press tour, you know, like I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear this to thatause for several reasons.
Speaker 3: Like your picnic outfit, I was like, oh cute, and
Speaker 3: then your hair was cute to match. I was like
Speaker 3: I could tell like from your shoe being perfect. I
Speaker 3: was like, look at Mandy. Mandy is a damn planet
Speaker 3: to the end. Look every last drop. She's like, everything
Speaker 3: will be perfect, it will and you'll love it.
Speaker 1: Well, No, I think it was more just like it
Speaker 1: was more I didn't want to have to make decisions
Speaker 1: about what I was going to wear and I wanted
Speaker 1: to feel good on the way, you know, I wanted
Speaker 1: to feel good at every moment and look because everyone's
Speaker 1: taking pictures. Yeah, and you're gonna get these pictures forever
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna look crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It was like I love that. Like I think
Speaker 3: they call it like tea length right under the knee. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it strappy. It was honestly the dress. And what
Speaker 3: I loved is that I was like, oh, such a
Speaker 3: great dress, because that's the kind of dress that you
Speaker 3: could totally wear like over and over, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and I definitely will. I mean I call
Speaker 1: it the shredder dress because I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: ever worn a full on SEQ one dress before. But
Speaker 1: it rubbed the inside in my arms sover all. I
Speaker 1: woke up the next day, it was like the next day,
Speaker 1: I woke up and I was like, did I get
Speaker 1: run over by a truck? First of all, I barely
Speaker 1: drank my own wedding because everyone sort of brings you drinks,
Speaker 1: but I was I just had my priority, which was
Speaker 1: to dance and to be there, so you take once.
Speaker 1: I maybe had one entire cocktail in total, And the
Speaker 1: next day I was like, why do I feel like death.
Speaker 1: My feet I couldn't feel like three of my toes.
Speaker 1: I had blisters everywhere. The inside in my arms were
Speaker 1: completely shredded from that glitter dress. Like I mean, it
Speaker 1: was like I had been beat, but like the most amazing,
Speaker 1: like lovely pain. I guess that is how I'll put it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you just the adrenaline, it's pumping all day. And
Speaker 1: really i'd been going on and like I hadn't been
Speaker 1: sleeping because not only was I, you know, just nervous
Speaker 1: and like nerves and jittery and I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know if you remember, but we did a surprise dance
Speaker 1: for our first day.
Speaker 3: Yes, I saw.
Speaker 2: I thought I was wondering.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, you guys did the traditional like oh,
Speaker 3: you know, we come out and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: it was like psych get into these hips.
Speaker 1: We couldn't have a Dominican wedding without doing a little
Speaker 1: bit shot that, like it's just yeah, Possiblee and Rique,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just gonna call him and Rique husband,
Speaker 1: mister Santos. He was in the beginning. It took me
Speaker 1: months to get him to agree because he's shy for
Speaker 1: one thing, and not give, you know, not for a Dominican,
Speaker 1: not the most you know, adept with the hips as well,
Speaker 1: and you tell I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: Stay it nicely, and I fairly have a little shuffle
Speaker 2: in me.
Speaker 1: I mean I make up for that, I feel like,
Speaker 1: for both of us. But finally, like about I don't
Speaker 1: know a month or two, but maybe six five, six
Speaker 1: weeks before the wedding, he was like okay, mostly because
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm putting, I'm paying for this, We're
Speaker 1: doing it. And we started lessons and it was rough.
Speaker 1: I mean, I felt like I was in a Dancing
Speaker 1: with the Stars episode like down to the Wire and
Speaker 1: our instructor Mario bless you. Mario got to give a
Speaker 1: shout out to Salsa on Fever Too or Salsa Fever Onto.
Speaker 1: It's in Jersey Jersey Heights, Yeah, Jerseys the Heights area
Speaker 1: of Jersey City. He runs his own little studio. He's
Speaker 1: an army veteran amazing person. He had the most incredible
Speaker 1: patience for us, and he taught us the steps for
Speaker 1: this like ninety second but shots on dance and it,
Speaker 1: you know, it was really up to us in the end,
Speaker 1: though we learned the choreography and then I and it
Speaker 1: was practicing. And what really killed me is I couldn't
Speaker 1: tell anybodys. I wanted to I wanted to keep it
Speaker 1: a surprise. And so I was like leaving work at
Speaker 1: four thirty to go to you know, dance class, and
Speaker 1: you know, stressing out and and all that about this
Speaker 1: dance class. And that was really at the end, that
Speaker 1: was what was keeping me awake. It's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: is this dance gonna be good?
Speaker 2: They're gonna like, yeah, they were good. You know who
Speaker 2: was really good? I think is that his brother?
Speaker 3: Is that Allen?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What is that his wife's girlfriend?
Speaker 1: His girlfriend? Yeah?
Speaker 2: They were so cuy. I was like, look at that
Speaker 2: and look like a movie. They were like like, I just.
Speaker 3: I love to see because I cannot dance that well,
Speaker 3: and especially not to Latin music. So just to see
Speaker 3: when people have the moves and the steps and the
Speaker 3: hips and the swings. I love like when people have
Speaker 3: it all together.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, look at Alan showing off on
Speaker 2: the dance floor.
Speaker 1: I know. I was like, yeah, you guys can dance
Speaker 1: after us because it's not going to be that good.
Speaker 1: But I've watched that. I've watched our dance like like, no, lie,
Speaker 1: probably sixty five times makes me so happy and just
Speaker 1: you know, and the fact that he did it, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, I mean you heard my vows.
Speaker 1: I was like, this guy is willing to go so
Speaker 1: far outside his comfort zone just to Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I can tell you know with me because when
Speaker 3: you you dragged him out on the dance floor, it
Speaker 3: was like near the end you took off his jackie,
Speaker 3: took off his tie then and he was like, look,
Speaker 3: I won't force for as no time, but this color
Speaker 3: will stay up. We're like, we're like yo. Husbane was like,
Speaker 3: look I've already been as as I get.
Speaker 2: This collar is not popping. I thought that was so cute.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, Mandy was like okay, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 3: this is good. This is good.
Speaker 2: Well, I won't push you too far.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Nick was there A magnified money team was
Speaker 1: out in full force.
Speaker 2: They were awesome. Honestly, it was great sitting next to them.
Speaker 1: I'm glad everyone anyway. But one thing I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've ever and I'll show up about the whole
Speaker 1: wedding thing is I can go on forever. But the
Speaker 1: one thing I didn't anticipate, you know, the next day,
Speaker 1: I had a whole weekend plan. The Thursday was the
Speaker 1: welcome picnic and the rehearsal lunch and the rehearsal, and
Speaker 1: then Friday was the wedding, and then Saturday, We're gonna
Speaker 1: do like a beach day and get everyone together and
Speaker 1: continue celebrating. Here's why I didn't anticipate. One is how
Speaker 1: like emotional I would be the day after the wedding.
Speaker 1: Because I held it together. I didn't cry during the ceremony.
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, I teared up a little bit,
Speaker 1: but I heard everyone around me crying. I just was like,
Speaker 1: you got to keep it together. You got to get
Speaker 1: through these like everyone's losing it. And then leading up
Speaker 1: to the week, I was keeping it together because the
Speaker 1: flights were delay and I was trying to, like, you know,
Speaker 1: play it cool. And not just that, but the whole
Speaker 1: like year, like the weeks before preparing at work to
Speaker 1: get ready for this, and just like the wedding, just
Speaker 1: all the ran, like the regular stresses of planning a
Speaker 1: wedding building up over a year. And on Saturday we
Speaker 1: were setting. We had to say all the goodbyes. You know,
Speaker 1: you go into the lobby to say goodbye to one person,
Speaker 1: and then ten more people show up. And there are
Speaker 1: ten of your dearest friends that you've known, you know,
Speaker 1: since college and you know since you know, years and years,
Speaker 1: and they've traveled from Iowa and they traveled from Seattle,
Speaker 1: and you know, you're trying to have an intimate, an
Speaker 1: intimate moment with everybody to tell them how much it means.
Speaker 1: And then our parents we had to say goodbye to,
Speaker 1: you know, my parents, and then and that took, you know,
Speaker 1: several hours. And then because you know, we got stuck
Speaker 1: at a as you do, you get stuck at these
Speaker 1: family lunches you didn't really want to go to, and
Speaker 1: they're like dragging you and you can't say no because
Speaker 1: they've come from so far. And then you know, by
Speaker 1: the time we wrapped up all that, it was about
Speaker 1: two pm. And I literally felt dead. And then it
Speaker 1: was the weather was really cold and windy, and I
Speaker 1: just decided. I was like, I can't give anything else,
Speaker 1: I can't do anything else, Like I just want to
Speaker 1: sit in a dark room and just like sob into
Speaker 1: a pillow. And not only that, but it was like
Speaker 1: the fact that everything had gone so well when you
Speaker 1: have all that built up stress and then when everything
Speaker 1: goes perfectly, you're like what because you're so happy? And
Speaker 1: we ended up so we we everyone sort of did
Speaker 1: their own thing, and you know, a lot of people
Speaker 1: went to the beach, a lot of them went, you know,
Speaker 1: in sightseeing around Savannah. We ended up like taking an
Speaker 1: hour to ourselves, and then some friends met up with
Speaker 1: them at some like some like in retrospect amazing like
Speaker 1: outdoor crab shack, like Crab Restaurant or whatever, which is
Speaker 1: like has like live Savannah oaks and in the middle
Speaker 1: of the restaurant and the restaurants like built around them
Speaker 1: and they have alligators and birds you can go see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was amazing, but I wouldn't know because I got
Speaker 1: out of the uber. The uber driver just had to
Speaker 1: play this one. I don't even know what song. It
Speaker 1: was Coldplay or something, but it's it's set it set
Speaker 1: me loose, Like it was like and the faucet is
Speaker 1: on and it will not be turning off for the
Speaker 1: next hour and a half because you're just gonna sit
Speaker 1: there like a crazy person and be sobbing, like in
Speaker 1: public with your you know, three foot tall cocktail that
Speaker 1: someone orders you because they feel so bad.
Speaker 3: So everyone was like, what is wrong? I said, nothing
Speaker 3: is wrong. I'm so happy.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And Enrique's like, yo, what is happening.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't know, because you didn't blame this thing.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, no, you know what.
Speaker 1: It was a release, Yes, absolute totally was, and it
Speaker 1: continued until it's still there. It's still I need I
Speaker 1: probably need like a week to decompress just like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it takes, because it's it's it is such a
Speaker 3: release because it's just like because you know, you don't
Speaker 3: realize how much pent up just anxiety comes from, you know,
Speaker 3: planning such a momentous occasion and like you said, for
Speaker 3: everything to go well, especially it's not even just normal anxiety.
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, yeah, it's the normal I'm planning a
Speaker 3: wedding anxiety. But then for everything to look like it
Speaker 3: was going to go to you know, hell in the
Speaker 3: handbasket just the day before, with the weather and the
Speaker 3: travel and the and then for it to go well,
Speaker 3: I just can't even imagine. I don't even know how
Speaker 3: you held out for as long as you held that
Speaker 3: before sobbing.
Speaker 1: I'm a tough chick. Man. I had my sister, That's
Speaker 1: what I am. My sister and my mom and here
Speaker 1: I go.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, I don't think you had an older brother.
Speaker 1: Oh we do not speak of him, you know, there's
Speaker 1: always one in the family. He ain't right, No, but
Speaker 1: my little brother was there, and yeah, you know, and
Speaker 1: Enrique's family. I don't know, man. I don't mean to
Speaker 1: be like annoying about it, but I don't know what
Speaker 1: I did to like, I have married into an amazing family,
Speaker 1: and not just family, but his friends. And I think
Speaker 1: I said that during my toast, although it's all a blur,
Speaker 1: but like one of the first things about that I
Speaker 1: loved about Enrique was not just him, well h yeah,
Speaker 1: of course him, but then you really can tell who
Speaker 1: a person is by the people around him and like
Speaker 1: his friends or I mean, everyone just gets along and
Speaker 1: everyone's just good, just good. You know, there's you know,
Speaker 1: the Randas, but everyone's just good for the most.
Speaker 3: Partner there You're like, I don't really like it, but
Speaker 3: the rest of them green. Then my favorite, probably my
Speaker 3: favorite part of the whole now that I think about it,
Speaker 3: was when your dad got up and did such a
Speaker 3: dad speech. I was god hollery. So for those who
Speaker 3: don't know, Mandy's dad is awesome. He does this speech
Speaker 3: where he talked about basically it was very much a
Speaker 3: dad baby girl speech, like oh my baby girl, like
Speaker 3: he was just like talking about her as a baby girl.
Speaker 3: He talked about how how Mandy learned how to count
Speaker 3: by counting French fries.
Speaker 1: I knew my daughter was gonna be some kind of
Speaker 1: some type of mathematical yeah, some type of love.
Speaker 3: It was such a dad move. I always knew she
Speaker 3: was going to do something mathematical or financial because my
Speaker 3: girl learned how to count the French fries. Every time
Speaker 3: we passed by Donalds, we had to hold her down
Speaker 3: in the car because baby girl wanted frenk fried And
Speaker 3: if you add baby girl for a French fry, she
Speaker 3: would dig in the bottom of the bag, find the
Speaker 3: smallest fry and break it in half and give you.
Speaker 3: I was like, if that is not the most dead
Speaker 3: moment of all time, and it was so cute. I
Speaker 3: was like, that probably was my favorite. Everybody at the
Speaker 3: table was both cracking up and like, oh, look at
Speaker 3: Manby's dad, Like you could tell He's like, wait, this
Speaker 3: used to be my baby. What's going on? How did
Speaker 3: she get married? But yeah, that was like the that
Speaker 3: I mean, you could not have planned that better. That
Speaker 3: was such a sweet, tender, hilarious moment.
Speaker 2: Friends.
Speaker 1: Speech was brought to you by Crown Royal and thank
Speaker 1: you for all the sponsors of this wedding. He was
Speaker 1: lit when he started walking up. I was like, Oh no, Daddy,
Speaker 1: what have you done? What have you been doing? Where
Speaker 1: have you been what have you been drigging? And I
Speaker 1: held my breath the entire time because he actually had
Speaker 1: practiced the French fries speech. It's been dubbed the French
Speaker 1: fry It's like his Nikki Pickle juice speech or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like everyone is like, I'll never forget the French
Speaker 1: fry speech. And when he started, I was holding my breath.
Speaker 1: I've never heard my dad like speak in front of
Speaker 1: more than two people ever. That was really but I
Speaker 1: think he did.
Speaker 3: He did a good job, and he did he did
Speaker 3: a great job.
Speaker 1: It was his big day too. And I haven't seen
Speaker 1: my dad in a suit since I was ten, and
Speaker 1: he used to work as a car salesman. He just had,
Speaker 1: you know, he guessed he had gastric bypass surgery two
Speaker 1: years ago, and he's still wearing his like five X
Speaker 1: size like Fubu and Sean John like track suits. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you look homeless. Put some fitted pants on.
Speaker 1: And to see him in that nice tailored suit and
Speaker 1: his little bow tie, and he looked yeah, yeah, yeah,
