1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: Hi wife, Hello husband.

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: We're married so many times, we are officially officially married,

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: and we have the rings to prove it. I actually now,

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: I think the thing I am most excited about is

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: we get to be public about this because we did

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: have the two weddings, and one of the things I

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: didn't think about was that I wouldn't be able to

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: wear my ring and really celebrate us in public until

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: we had this second wedding. And so I'm excited to

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: actually get to wear my ring. Something I'm looking forward

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: to because I would wear it around the house and

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: then I would have to take it off, leave it

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: in our bedroom and then go out about the day.

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: So everybody, we had two weddings. We want to make

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: sure we spill all the details for you all today

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: and share everything that we can with thank you over

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: these next few episodes of the most dramatic podcast ever.

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: And to clarify, yes, we had two weddings.

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 1: Let's start there, and you're right, we have some dirt.

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: We have some exciting things to talk about, some things

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: that I think are going to shake up Bachelor Nation

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: for sure, especially from our second wedding, and so yeah,

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: we have so many details, so many great stories, so

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: many things to dive into. We will break it up

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: over several episodes. And we were excited to tell all

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: right here, so.

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: You were so okay, we're to begin. So we got

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: married for the first time October fourteenth in Napa Valley, California,

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: a place near and dear to our hearts. We got

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: engaged there as well, And I just want to clarify

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: what you explained about the ring, because you were so sweetly.

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: We had this wedding in Napa and then we had

34
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: another one in Austin, and in between the two weddings,

35
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: we wanted to keep it private and just announced that

36
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: we were married all together as one and kind of

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: make both events feel really big. So yeah, you didn't

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: wear your ring in between. But what was so cute

39
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: was that you wanted to wear his rings so much

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: that I bought him. I bought Chris this watch as

41
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: a wedding gift, and he was wearing the watch all

42
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: the time, saying, well, this is kind of like wearing

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 2: my ring in between the two ways.

44
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: It was my hidden way of wearing something representing us

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: in public without making things public and yeah, the purpose.

46
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: People are like, why'd you do two weddings, Well, because

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: we wanted two different things. We wanted that intimate, very small,

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: private affair with our family, and that was NAPA. Again,

49
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: a very intentional wedding. Everything was intentional in that we

50
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: were in a place that was special to us. Not

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: only we got engaged there, but we've spent a lot

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: of time there and it's just a place that we

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: have found so many friends, we forged so many memories.

54
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: So it was a no brainer to go back to NAPA.

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: But that wasn't like the raging party that we wanted

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: to have with all of our friends.

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: You know what, Yes, there were any reasons, but a

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: huge part of what we kept thinking, I have heard

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: from so many people, I had this great wedding, but

60
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: I didn't get to even see this person. I didn't

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: get to say hi to this person. I didn't get

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: to talk to this person. And so we really wanted

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: to be able to spend important close time with the

64
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: people who have been with us since the beginning of

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: our relationship, our family, our closest friends. That was NAPA.

66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: Austin was a blowoutrage, rage party.

67
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: It really was was, it was everything. I just want

68
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: to put this into context for the listeners, because well,

69
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: Lauren's voice, you mean I sound great. I probably sounds

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: a little tired, maybe even a little hungover. Are you

71
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: hungover a little bit? I was.

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's seven pm at night on Sunday, November fifth.

73
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: We are about twenty four hours after I'm just and

74
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 2: you're just by the way all day.

75
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm hungover specifically because of you know,

76
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: a few tequila shots that we did do I did

77
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: several with Bachs or Nation friends last night. But this

78
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: is the culmination of so much emotion stress because we

79
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: wanted to pull this off and do it right and

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: keep it secret and announce it the right way and

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: save it for the podcast. So there's just I think

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: my body is just finally relaxing.

83
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: There's hungover, which is your nauseous, maybe you're vomiting. Oh yeah, no, no,

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: you've a headache. And then there's like a type of

85
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: hangover where you have an emotional hangover. Actually a friend

86
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: of ours, my friend Jen, who came to both weddings.

87
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: She's a real close maybe of mine. She had the

88
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: perfect phrase, I thought, after NAPA, she told me. She

89
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: was like, I'm so exhausted, and I think I figured

90
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: out why. She said, it's a love hangover. She said

91
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: NAPA was so full of so much love, and she

92
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: said Austin was a there too. But you know we

93
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: had toasts and speeches from the kids and my siblings

94
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: and our moms and your dad and your brother and

95
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: dear friends, and and you know we we had I

96
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: loved our vows. I'll say it, but she said I

97
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: left the events with a love hangover, where it was

98
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: so much wonderful emotion that she said, my body feels

99
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: exhausted from all the love.

100
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: And we'll break both weddings down. We'll get into the

101
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: nitty gritty and the details and the good, the bad,

102
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: the ugly. But overall, if we were to paint with

103
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: a broad brush, I would say NAPA for me was

104
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: emotion level a fifteen out of one to ten. I mean,

105
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: I cried seventy times.

106
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: I cried so much.

107
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: I cried like a baby. At NAPA.

108
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: You cried, but babe, hold on, I need to take

109
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: a minute. You cried way more than I thought you would.

110
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: I really and you said that to me. I wasn't

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: sure how to take it. Is that a bad thing?

112
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Like you're like.

113
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: Oky, well, because you're just a very strong person. Like

114
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: you're really not a big crier. I mean, I know

115
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: sometimes you're like, oh, I'm a ball back, but you're

116
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: only You're only a crier in like like sometimes things

117
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: with the kids can make you cry. To be honest,

118
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: you haven't really cried over you and I very much,

119
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: and I would never. I know that our love is

120
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: what it is, but I understand that parental love is

121
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: so different. I have to tell you the truth, and

122
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: I don't mean to dear up now saying this. I

123
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: was a little scared you weren't going to cry. And

124
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: I know that you love me, but I was a

125
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: little scared. You're just not like you're emotional, but you're

126
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 2: not the biggest crier.

127
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm usually pretty even keeled in situation.

128
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: Which is something I love about you. You stay very strong.

129
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm a little more wacky, and so you're very centered

130
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: for me. But I was I think I I think

131
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: I would have been hurt if you hadn't cried at all.

132
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: I thought, Okay, he's gonna cry a little bit, But

133
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: you cried during the vows and NAPA oh, probably five times.

134
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: I could not get through the vowel in Napa Valley,

135
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: I just and again we'll get to the details of it,

136
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: but again I would say Napa on a scale of one,

137
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: it's an emotion wise was a fifteen because I did.

138
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: I cried. I started crying in the morning. And again,

139
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to reveal everything about Napa, but there

140
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: were just so many things that triggered me during the

141
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: day in such a beautiful way. Because it's all about family,

142
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: and that's the one thing that you gives. Let's talk

143
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: about it, okay.

144
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 2: So why did you cry so many times?

145
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: Because the things that trigger me are family. That's what

146
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: always gets to my heart. You are family. Now you

147
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: have been family, but now your family is mine. So

148
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: your mom gave me a gift. This is where it

149
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: all started. Your mom. We I was doing pretty good.

150
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: I went to breakfast, I went to work out with

151
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: my buddy Chip. We got our we got our workout

152
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: in it's our tradition. We went back to the room

153
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: and your mom had left me a gift. And I

154
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: didn't quite understand exactly what the gift was because I

155
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: didn't dive into it. But I could see on our

156
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: bed table that she had left a picture of you

157
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: and your father, and so the a picture of you

158
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: and your dad, your late father for those that don't know.

159
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: And so I write there I just said, I'm not

160
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: ready for this yet, because I knew what was in

161
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: that letter, and I just thought it was a picture

162
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: in a letter. I didn't know that there was a

163
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: gift in there. I didn't see that. I waited for

164
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: you to leave. You left, I think around noon or

165
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: something to go get ready, and I had the room

166
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: to myself. So we actually, by the way, spoiler alert,

167
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: we saw each other the day the morning of our wedding. Yes,

168
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: we also decided that we stayed together the night before

169
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: our wedding.

170
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: This was a big debate and it's funny, do you

171
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: in looking back. So Chris was saying we should spend

172
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: the night apart the night before our wedding in this

173
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: very traditional way, which is sweet. But I said, look,

174
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: we have this special three day weekend that we've planned

175
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: in Napa with our best friends, with our family. I

176
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: want every minute with you. I want to be together

177
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: every minute. I want to wake up with you on

178
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: the morning of our wedding like a kid on Christmas

179
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: morning and I won and we spent the night together.

180
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: Are you glad or looking back, do you wish we hadn't?

181
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: No, I don't even know why I was going through

182
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: the motions of getting a different rooms. I think somebody

183
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: had given me the advice to stay apart that night.

184
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: It would make me, I guess, long for you or

185
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: get excited. I didn't need that.

186
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: Well, you know what made me long for you the

187
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: fact that, let's really tell it all, the week of

188
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 2: our wedding, and I think twenty four hours into marriage

189
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: should get some kind of wife award the week of

190
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: our wedding, Chris Harrison says to me, Babe, I have

191
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,359
Speaker 2: an opportunity.

192
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: Okay, No, I didn't announce this the week of our wedding.

193
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I announced this many months before, but it was going

194
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: to take place the week it would be.

195
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: I have an opportunity the week of our wedding, a

196
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 2: couple days before. In fact, I can go to Pebble

197
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 2: Beach and play golf and hang out with Tiger Woods,

198
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: and I would like to do that. It means we're

199
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: no longer going to travel and nap it together for

200
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: the wedding. I'll meet you there and I'll meet you

201
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: there on Thursday. And I said, Babe, absolutely go hang

202
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: with your real husband as Tiger.

203
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: Okay, so revision is history, and I will get back

204
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: to what made me cry about you.

205
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: Can I get a wife award?

206
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: No, because, oh my god, I mean, can I just

207
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: tell the real story of how way because it's actually

208
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: very complimentary first fight, because you'll agree this is how

209
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: it went, and this is very complimentary of the kind

210
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: of woman you are and why I love you. I

211
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: got invited to this event that I play in every

212
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: year with Tiger and a few other PGA guys and

213
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: some of my very close friends that I have known

214
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: for about twenty years, and I got this call to

215
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: go and I turned it down. I said no, And

216
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: you heard about this and you said what was that?

217
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: And I said, oh, that was a deal to go

218
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: play at Pebble Beach And you go, well, Babey, aren't

219
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: you going? And I said, well, it's it's our wedding week.

220
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: Zero chance I'm going on our wedding week. There's no

221
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: way I'm going because it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. No, And

222
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: so I just I said, don't Eve worry about it.

223
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I've turned it down, and you said, Babe, I know

224
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: you love these people, and I know you love this event.

225
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: You love to go do it, and you know I

226
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: love Pebble Beach. Go do this. And it took a

227
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: little time because I said, this is a really bad idea.

228
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: It's not going to end well. But you are the

229
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: one that actually pushed me and said, no, no, go

230
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: do that. My mom and sister are going to come in.

231
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: You go, and that's we will meet up in Napa.

232
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: You know what. You're right, and I stam corrected and

233
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: I don't know why. This is why I witness testimonies

234
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: unreliable in court. I really didn't remember it that way,

235
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: but you're completely right. It was like that, and I

236
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: should have told it that way because we actually both

237
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: look and sound like better people in the correct version.

238
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: And if people will go back to my social media,

239
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: there was this bit I did with Max Homa, who

240
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: just came off the Ryder cup one of the golfers,

241
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: and I announced on that Instagram post that video, I said,

242
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: if you make this shot, you will officiate my wedding.

243
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: What people didn't realize is that wedding was in two

244
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: days and so Max and Tiger, and all those people

245
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: knew about my wedding coming up. So that made that

246
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: video even better if you go back and watch it

247
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: that it was two days later he would have come

248
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: to our wedding. Takes were actually kind of the stakes

249
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: were high. But so I drove over Wednesday night of

250
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: our wedding, and I got there a day a night

251
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: ahead of you, which was actually really good because I

252
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: did some shopping. I got some things for our room,

253
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: I got some things for you. I was able to

254
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: kind of lay the groundwork and get things together. Being

255
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: the organizer, I like details done.

256
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: I'll sing your praises because I do remember this accurately. Yes.

257
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: So I ended up flying in with my mom and

258
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: my sister who came and stayed in Austin with me

259
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: while Chris was in Pebble Beach, and it was fun

260
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,239
Speaker 2: because we kind of had a little girls a week beforehand.

261
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: And then what Chris did before we got there was

262
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: he got me flowers. He got me a candle, a

263
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: Marlow scented candle. What a perfect I mean, I love

264
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: a candle and we're low for NAPA. And he got

265
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 2: my mom flowers and my sister flowers and wrote them

266
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: notes that were in their hotel rooms and wrote me

267
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: a note and while you were gone in Pebble Beach,

268
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: you all. So he left me a note for every

269
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: day that he was gone, and I had a letter

270
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: to open from him for every single day of our

271
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: wedding week leading up to our wedding, and then I

272
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: ended up opening the final letter on the day of Wow,

273
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: I'm really glad we're doing this podcast because now this

274
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: is a good record, because I was wishing I had

275
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: like journaled because I'm worried I'm gonna forget everything. So

276
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 2: this is good because.

277
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: It did go by. It went That's one thing about

278
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: That's one thing about NAPA that was I knew it

279
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: was so good because it went by so fast. And

280
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: I even thought, in my wisdom and experience, slow this down,

281
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: breathe it all in, take it all in, and it's

282
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: it's impossible. And obviously those who have been married and

283
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: had these moments, everybody knows the same.

284
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: Somebody. I think there's got to be a name for

285
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: the phenomena that happens to your body. Obviously, we're having

286
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: a lot of wine, and obviously I was just forgetting

287
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: to eat because I was talking to people in stress. So, look,

288
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: was that a little tipsy at our wedding events in Napa, Sure,

289
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: but not to the point of something else was happening

290
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: to my body. It's an out of body I don't

291
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,119
Speaker 2: know if you're on an adrenaline high, if your emotions

292
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: are high, but you feel almost like it's a blur,

293
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: you're watching it all happen from above or something. It's

294
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 2: kind of surreal.

295
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: And we had set originally to have a Saturday wedding,

296
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: so a Friday night kind of get together, a pre

297
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: wedding party. I guess it wasn't. It wasn't a rehearsal dinner.

298
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: It was this amazing thing. And then that we had

299
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: set up at this vineyard, and then Friday, and then

300
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: that was Friday, then we're gonna have Saturday. Well, we

301
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: all love each other so much, and there was this

302
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: great group of people, a very small group. There's only

303
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: forty people at this particular wedding. Forty what what was

304
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: the final number?

305
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: I think we had forty three or forty five people

306
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: including us at our wedding in Napa. Yeah, And so,

307
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: like you said, Friday, we did a welcome wine party.

308
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: But before we got to that Thursday became a thing. Yes,

309
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: well we had not planned on, but this was what.

310
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: We'd hoped for exactly, I really look. I guess Napa

311
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: was a destination wedding, even though a lot of our

312
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: friends live in California. But we really wanted everybody to

313
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: be fully present for the entire weekend. It wasn't a

314
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: thing of like, oh, we can't make Friday, but what

315
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: will be there Saturday. No, we wanted everyone there the

316
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: whole weekend. It was a destination wedding and I wanted

317
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: everybody to enjoy Napa. We had lots of great events,

318
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: but like, go do a tasting on your own if

319
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: you want. Though, people gotta be careful about coming in

320
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: hot to Napa. It's like Vegas, Okay, you can't as

321
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: professionals in Napa. I would say, if you're going do

322
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: two wine tastings a day, go to dinner. You can't

323
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: do more than that, or you are on the floor,

324
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: which should happen to some people on Thursday. So people

325
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: got excited. They started coming in on Thursday. Before we

326
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: knew it, thirty something people were already going to be

327
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: there on Thursday, So we had it a Thursday night dinner,

328
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: which was great and where people also got a little drunk.

329
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: Everyone's so excited and you get there and then you

330
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: do a tasting and you've been drinking all day. And

331
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: I think that was good because people sort of got

332
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: it together and then didn't end up getting super drunk

333
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: on Friday and Saturday.

334
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: And so Thursday night ended up being kind of this

335
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: beautiful I called a family meal where we just everyone

336
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: mixed and matched and no seating chart and we just

337
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: had this room to ourselves at this great.

338
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: We literally the week of grabbed a private room at

339
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: comp Lined. By the way, you haven't been an amazing

340
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: restaurant downtown Napa so yummy.

341
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: And by the way, we should say from the beginning

342
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: we stayed at the Archer Hotel in downtown Napa.

343
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: My new favorite hotel in Napa. I'm so glad we

344
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: found it. We only ever discovered it because we were

345
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: looking for a place with a rooftop view in Napa

346
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: and a friend of ours, Catherine Reynolds of roy Winery,

347
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: where we at her wedding dinner, which was amazing, she

348
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: told us about the Archer and gosh, if you're in Napa,

349
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: I mean they've got this rooftop. They have music, live

350
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: music there every Sunday for brunch. The rooms are gorgeous

351
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: and it's so conveniently located to everything, and so that

352
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: was another fun part. Every wanted everybody to stay at

353
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: the same hotel. Everybody stayed at the Archer. They put

354
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: us all on the same floor. I felt like I

355
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: was in a strority again. We were walking on the halls,

356
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 2: like knocking on each other's doors, hanging out. It was

357
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: the experience that I wanted.

358
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love the Archer and I like downtown Napa.

359
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: There's so many great resorts there and I've stayed at resorts. Well,

360
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: you and I have stayed at resorts around and it's

361
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: fun to be out in the countryside. And there's something

362
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: about being in downtown because you're buying Model Bakery, which

363
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: is famous for their English muffins, and you know, gots Burgers,

364
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: and you can go to I think Monday Bakery, and

365
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: there's tasting rooms and so being in the city is

366
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: just cool because it's such a walkable little downtown. It's

367
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: really cute. So the Archer is it's newly renovated, beautiful,

368
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: beautiful hotel, and then.

369
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: Big takeaway for me, I would say, if you're having

370
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 2: a destination wedding, it's helpful for everybody to stay somewhere

371
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 2: that has walkability, because then you know, and people are drinking,

372
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: you don't want them like renting a car, and so

373
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: everybody could walk and grab a coffee and we didn't

374
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: have to worry about everyone renting cars on top of

375
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: getting hotel rooms.

376
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: And so Friday, you and I kind of hung out

377
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: because people were arriving. Most of the guests that were

378
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: there went off and did tastings and enjoyed Napa Valley.

379
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: My family, the kids came in from college and they

380
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: arrived with my mom. My dad arrived on Friday as well,

381
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: and so we kind of hung around the hotel until

382
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: late afternoon when we headed off to our Friday event,

383
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: which was it one of our favorite wineries in the

384
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: world and just a beautiful tasting room at La Quoya.

385
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: Yes, now there was a forty minute shuttle ride to Laquoya. Yeah,

386
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: did people get to tips here?

387
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: Well, we decided to break up the buses.

388
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: Was this weird? I in retrospect? Okay, here's my idea.

389
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: So we, of course people are drinking, we want to

390
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: shuttle them all around, so we had two shuttles and

391
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: though tell the la Quoya was going to be the

392
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: longer one of the weekend, forty minutes. So I'm like,

393
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 2: we gotta have some champagne and tequila on the buses.

394
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: And I thought, you know'd be fun. It's to a

395
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: babes bus and a boys bus. Everybody's going to be

396
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: with their a couple all weekend. Let's split up girls

397
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 2: and boys. So we had a girl's bus and a

398
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: boy's bus. It was sort of like a really really

399
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: quick bachelor and bachelorette.

400
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: Party it was. And our bus we had great tequila

401
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: and it was pretty chill, had a little music going.

402
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: Your bus was not chill, no.

403
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: Which I thought the boys would have turned it up more.

404
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah know, your mom decided she was the bar tendress

405
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: of the bus, the bus tendress, which I loved, and

406
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: she was I don't know if she was violating transportation rules,

407
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: but she was walking up and down the aisle of

408
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: the bus, pouring the gals champagne throughout the bus ride.

409
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: At one point she did take the bus driver's microphone.

410
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was a violation either, but

411
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: shout out to Mariabeth Harrison for making a party happen

412
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: on the bus. It was a party bus and became.

413
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: A flight attendant, just walking up and down the aisle, serving.

414
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: Drinks, absolutely telling us to buckle our seatbelts and hold

415
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: on tight.

416
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: She's she's a bad woman.

417
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: There's zeals in Napa. It was a bit windy. I

418
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 2: was worried at some points, but we were ready to

419
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: catch her.

420
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: I can see his mom going down the day before that.

421
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 2: I don't want that to happen. But so, what was

422
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: happening on your bus? We never even talked about this.

423
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: It was so quiet.

424
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: I mean it was quiet.

425
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: To say it, it was chill. It was like everybody because

426
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: the guys were just there was lot a lot of people.

427
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: The guys didn't know each other, and so it was

428
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: a lot of just getting to know each other, talking

429
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: a few tequila.

430
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 2: Wait, you're saying the guys had the deep conmos.

431
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: No deep deep. We were talking sports. We're talking golf.

432
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: Of course, it's never deep. Guys getting to know each

433
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 2: other means so what football team teams? That's guys getting

434
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,040

00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: a bus, you will walk off crying. You know each

436
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,080

438
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Like today, And I'm going to flash forward to today

439
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: because we had a brunch today post wedding, and our

440
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: dear friend Sage Steele was here at the brunch along

441
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: with one of your sorority sisters. And we look over

442
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. They're both bawling. They've only been talking

443
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: for five minutes and they're bawling. That is the difference

444
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: between them, the women's bus and the boys bus, who

445
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: they just know. I root for the cowboys and I

446
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: like to play golf. So we get to La Koya

447
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: and they have rolled out the red carpet. It is

448
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: decked out, It is beautify It's perfect weather. We got

00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: And there was a heat wave in Napa the weekend

451
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: before our wedding. Our wedding weekend was perfect. It was

452
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: like crisp and seventy and sunny. So we were just

453
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 2: so blessed. I do like to think I sometimes think

454
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: that my dad is kind of watching over me with

455
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: those moments. I really feel like because in Austin. We

466
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 2: there was one thing. I'll be honest, I don't know

467
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: if I'm a bride on a budget. My dress is

468
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: not that expensive. My dress was pretty. You don't even

469
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,479
Speaker 2: know how much it was.

470
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: Can I guess five thousand dollars?

471
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: Dress was like fourteen hundred dollars.

472
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: You're dress as fourteen hundred dollars, not fourteen thousand. It

473
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: was fourteen hundred, which is still a lot of money.

474
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm not like negating that.

475
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 2: It's just it was.

476
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, that dress, we'll talk about it.

477
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: But man, that dress, Okay, that woman in the dress.

478
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 2: Thank you. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm not saying fourteen

479
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: hundred dollars is a small amount of money. In fact,

480
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: that's part of why waiting. But that's part of why

481
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: I wanted to wear the dress twice. I'm a Midwestern gal.

482
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 2: You've got to get your bang for your buck. Okay,

483
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: I love the dress. We spent some money on it,

484
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: Let's wear it twice. So, but I do want to

485
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: spend money on food, on wine, on like the experience

486
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: in the room and the space, and if you ever

487
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: get the chance to go to NAPA. We are giving

488
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: some recommendations on this podcast. Lacoia Winery. This it's stunning.

489
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. So they're tied in with Cardinal as well, same

490
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: wine maker as Cardinal, this guy Chris Carpenter, who's a genius.

491
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: And this is up on Spring Mountain, so it's a

492
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: bit of a drive up there, back into the valley

493
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: and then back up on Spring Mountain. But man, it

494
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: is at elevation on the mountain. It is so stunning,

495
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: so beautiful the architecture, but the views, and it is

496
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: some of the best wine in the valley as well.

497
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: And so we had multiple somaliers doing what we wanted

498
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: to do is also make it like a tasting experience,

499
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: so they were doing pourings and tastings with people. I

500
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 2: would call this a welcome wine party. We didn't want

501
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 2: to be two traditional guys. We didn't do any type

502
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: of rehearsal really, and we did a welcome wine party.

503
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: Have some taste. It was all past apps. We had, oh,

504
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: some crispy fries made in duck fat.

505
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: Heck, yeah, duck fat makes anything better. And just I

506
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: think the difference is we curated and again everything was intentional.

507
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: We curated the wine and the food and the music

508
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: and the scene that was Napa and that rolled over

509
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: into the next night as well, that was not Austin.

510
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: Austin was like rip roaring, bootscoot and let's have a

511
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: blast shooting tequila. And we should say, very different crowds

512
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: and different people attended both because in Napa very close

513
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,239
Speaker 1: friends and family of both of ours. As far as

514
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: the bachelor world goes, there was just.

515
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: One, well he's a lot backed into the strong body.

516
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: It was Andrew Firestone.

517
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: Andrew Firestone m Seed our Friday night welcome wine party.

518
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: That's the man's happy place, isn't it is Andrew Firestone

519
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 2: happier than when he's em seeing something.

520
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: When he's holding a microphone in a public forum, that

521
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: is that is his superpowers.

522
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: You know what subtle difference. You're a host, you're a tvo.

523
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying you can't m see an event,

524
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: but Andrew like is an emsy And when I say that,

525
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: I mean the man lays it all on the table.

526
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: And when I say that, I mean he literally while

527
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 2: he was emceeing this event, jumped on the table full

528
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 2: body slid down the table at one point. So we

529
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: just really wanted Napa to feel like, first of all,

530
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: every single person who was there we've both known for years.

531
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 2: They are intimate, close friends of ours. And then we wanted,

532
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: you know, people to kind of feel really part of everything.

533
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 2: So we said, Andrew, can you emcy Friday night? And

534
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: what he did was he brought up different people who

535
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: we'd asked to give toasts, your brother, my brother, a

536
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: really good friend's chip and list who did a dual

537
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: couple's toast. My dad spoke, and then Andrew was the

538
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: last person to speak, and he printed out the lyrics

539
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: to my all time favorite song I Want to Dance

540
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: with Somebody by Whitney Houston, and after giving a wonderful

541
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: he led the crowd in a group sing of I

542
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: want to answer Somebody, and he slid it did a

543
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: penguin belly side across it.

544
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: He was a team effort because his beautiful wife and

545
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: dear friend, Evanna, as Andrew was speaking, kind of gave

546
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: the she was.

547
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: His Vanna, she was his Evanna White.

548
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: And Evanna kind of went around the room handing out something.

549
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: We didn't know what it was. And when Andrew kind

550
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: of started going into the lyrics of the song in

551
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: his speech, it took us a minute to catch on

552
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: to what he was doing. And then we got into

553
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: the chorus and everybody jumped in and the whole room

554
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: was singing.

555
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: I think what was so funny about it? And clever

556
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 2: is he introduced it trying to mess with us and

557
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 2: not be too obvious. He said, and now we're reading

558
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: by the late great W. Houston's that's miss Whitney Houston.

559
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 2: So he was amazing, and and Andrew was the only

560
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: bachelor alum at NAPA. And by the way, it doesn't

561
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: mean I mean we love That's why all of the

562
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: wonderful people were in Austin. We'll get to that. But Andrew,

563
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: I think, is someone who you like, we're just very

564
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: close to you and I with both him and Havanna,

565
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 2: he's very near and dear.

566
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: He's been one of my best friends throughout this whole thing,

567
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: and we've become very close. But what I love even

568
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: more is that you have become close to him and Evanna.

569
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, I've been friends with him for over a decade.

570
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: That's how long ago we did that. Gosh, probably two pictures.

571
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: You guys have of like, you know, when their kids

572
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: are little, you're like sending you're helping change their diapers.

573
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: I was at the and it was really cool because

574
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: I was at their wedding when he got well. I

575
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: was at their engagement party actually when they came back

576
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: from Pismo Beach, and then I was at their wedding

577
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: as well, up at Losa Livos and Santy Naz and

578
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: so to have him there was really special. And spoiler alert,

579
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: we knew as well the Firestones could not make the

580
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: Austin party, so I'm glad that they were able to

581
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: make nap.

582
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: Up because I ask you an intimate question please, as

583
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: we're talking about like men the way men ways men

584
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: get closer than the ways women get closer. I kind

585
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: of feel like all my best friends of me naked,

586
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: maybe in part because we lived in a sorority house,

587
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 2: but I don't know, like women change in front of

588
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 2: each other, I don't know what we change front of

589
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: each Other's no big deal. Have you ever seen Andrew

590
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 2: Firestone naked?

591
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: I've seen him in his underwear. I've seen most of

592
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 1: the guys in their boxers or briefs or whatever from

593
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: the show. Well, from the show, especially back in the day,

594
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: we didn't like really it was so on a budget

595
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: and on the fly and cheap. I guess we could

596
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: say that when we were at the original Bachelor house,

597
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: there was one real master bedroom and primary closet, and

598
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: all of our clothes were in that one primary closet,

599
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: and so we would just get dressed, so you know,

600
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: like the makeup chair was there, so we'd each take

601
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 1: a turn and makeup and then we'd get dressed. And

602
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: so not a big deal that we've all kind of

603
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: been in our boxers. So but no, I don't think

604
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if I've really I mean, this

605
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: sounds weird, but if I've been naked with any of

606
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: the Bachelor's and I don't think so, but I think

607
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: I've probably been in our boxer briefs with everyone.

608
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: I think that that much like having sex, that that

609
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: just instantly increases your intimacy level with someone if you

610
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: just are in the room when they're changing or see

611
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: them change like all of a sudden, like we're really close. Now,

612
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: that's what happened to Ben Higgins and I, which made

613
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: it into his wedding toast to us in Austin, which

614
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: we will get into. But anyway, it instantly uh bonds.

615
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I get Yeah, I guess, well, because you're

616
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: so vulnerable, right when you're truly stripped down, you're also

617
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: stripped down emotionally, and it's like you're.

618
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: Not That's exactly why you just nailed it.

619
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why the naked shows do so well, because

620
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: what are you hiding?

621
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: Oh you mean like Naked It Free? Yeah, all those shows,

622
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: Naked and Best Friends. Okay, So Andrew Firestone m Seed

623
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: absolutely crushed it. We had our I mean, like you know,

624
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: I love when your friends and family can bring their

625
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: talents to the table. My brother's speech was so amazing.

626
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 2: My little brother John. He made us laugh, you made

627
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: us cry. And then we had our dear friend Nadine Levitt.

628
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: She is a world class opera singer and she had

629
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: actually started the evening with an opera rendition, which I

630
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: think really set the tone. I recommend music using music

631
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: to help set the tone at the beginning, middle, and end.

632
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: Because everyone can quiet down, settle in, and Nadine did

633
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: such a beautiful job. And the acoustics in the place,

634
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: the opera, it just it brings tears to your eyes.

635
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: So there's nothing like a song, no matter what you

636
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: could say. It's kind of like why American Idol always

637
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: worked so well because you get instantly emotional from music.

638
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: So we're all making small talk and chatting and getting

639
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 2: to know each other Friday, and then she comes up

640
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: and sings, and it instantly set this beautiful emotional tone

641
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: for the night. The speeches were amazing, and then you

642
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: know Andrew ending the night on a high by jumping

643
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: on the.

644
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: Tape, and there was just the whole party was just

645
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: a way for everyone to start to get to know

646
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: each other, have some great wines, good food. It did

647
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: turn into a bit of a dance party. We cranked

648
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: up the music.

649
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: I forgot about that. We were dancing around the charcuterie board.

650
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: We did dance around the charcuterie board. It just turned

651
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: into a and I guess wow, I was about to say,

652
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: yours our brother in law.

653
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: My sister's husband. He's both of our brother in.

654
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: Law laws, singular brother laws. So Andrew kind of became

655
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: a DJ. Started playing the bangers, and we started dancing.

656
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: Had an absolute blast until they kicked us out. That

657
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: was really a theme for everything is we got kicked

658
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: out of every place. And I don't mean in a

659
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 1: bad way. It was just you guys have to go.

660
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,239
Speaker 2: We're shutting it down.

661
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: We are closing this joint. And so we close the

662
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: joint again.

663
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: Let people do their thing. Andrew, he is so good.

664
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: He's the director of Vibe. He's so good at creating

665
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: really good playlists. He brings dance moves. So he went

666
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: in the back of Laquoya Winery found their like control room.

667
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: We was in there with their security cameras taking over

668
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 2: their sound system. I'm shocked they didn't kick us out sooner,

669
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: to be honest, but luckily there are friends and we

670
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 2: know them. Can we talk about one thing quickly before

671
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: our outfits. Oh yeah, Friday night, Yeah, you looked so handsome,

672
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: thank you.

673
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: I wore a Billy Reed jacket that I bought. We

674
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: bought together when we were in Monterey together previously hosting

675
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: an event for the AIM Gala, and we saw this

676
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: jacket and we just both said, that's the one. So

677
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: I wore this beautiful Billy Reed kind of jacket vest

678
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: and you know what, I just.

679
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: Realized my dress I wore Friday night we also bought together.

680
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: That's right, because we just went. I listen to you, guys,

681
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: I planned a lot, but I was also I didn't

682
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: have a wedding planner at all. We didn't have a

683
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: wedding planner at all, not for NAPA, not for Austin.

684
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: You're looking at your wedding planners right here, Chris Arison

685
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: and Lauren Zema, and listen. I come from a place

686
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: of grateful privilege, like right now, I wouldn't say I

687
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: have Like when I was full time at entertainment tonight,

688
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: I don't think I could have done this work. Was

689
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: just too demand it. But it's been really fun to

690
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: over the past I don't know, a little less than

691
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: a year spend time on all this and get to

692
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: do it together. And part of that was a lot

693
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: of planning, and part of it was a little, you know,

694
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: fly by the seat of your pants kind of stuff.

695
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a procrastinator, and I don't know.

696
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: I went and bought a bunch of dresses and we're online,

697
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: shopped and returned and I hadn't found anything. And the

698
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: week before I still didn't have a Friday night dress.

699
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 2: And you said, Babe, let's just go shopping. We went

700
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: to our favorite little boutique store in Austin Estilo where

701
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 2: we always find stuff, and sure enough, walked in and

702
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: got two white dresses and you.

703
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: Tried one on and it was I knew when you

704
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: walked out there was actually another woman trying things on

705
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: next to you. She stopped, The store owner stopped, and

706
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: I stopped, and we're like, that's it, ballgame, that's the dress.

707
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: One thing I love so much about you is that

708
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: your years of television have made you pretty stylish. And

709
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: I love like we genuinely go shopping together and you

710
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: are into it and you will give me yes as

711
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: or nos. And he also knows it looks good in

712
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: photos and stuff so you'll tell me that stuff. And

713
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: it was really fun and I just realized that I

714
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: love that. Friday night we both wore stuff that we

715
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 2: picked out together, and Saturday we both wore things that

716
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 2: we picked out on our own.

717
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: So cool because obviously I had no idea. I'd never

718
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: seen your dress and I.

719
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 2: Wanted to make sure I didn't see your suit, and.

720
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: My suit was something very special to me. There is

721
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: a store, a men's It's one of my favorite words, habitasherie,

722
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: a true habitasherie, and it's old school.

723
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 2: I think you need to find it is a.

724
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: Men's clothing shop and when. But there's a difference between

725
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: like they have men's clothes and a habitasherie like they

726
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: that is when they you go get a suit, you

727
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 1: have a suit made, and the service there is second

728
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: to none. They truly this isn't clear.

729
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: I've made him explain it to me more. I think

730
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: a habitasherie how I would describe it as like it's custom.

731
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 2: They might even offer you a drink while you're there.

732
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: It's kind of an experience. It's like what Julia Roberts

733
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 2: wanted and pretty woman, but they wouldn't let.

734
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: Her shop big mistake each So I go to Kin'sman

735
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: Shop in Dallas, Texas. And this shop has been in

736
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: my family for decades, almost a century. It was owned

737
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: by my uncle Ken and it's now run by my

738
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: cousin Corey. And if you ever go to Kin'sman Shop,

739
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: asked for Corey greatest service in the world. So I

740
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: brought my brother, your brother, my son Josh, who was

741
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: my best man, and we had suits made. We all

742
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: had our own suits made. We picked the color and

743
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: the fabric and then the inlay and what was monogrammed

744
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: on our inside coats, and we made shirts as well

745
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: with everything. Everything to a tea was handmade. And it

746
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: was a phenomenal experience. It brought us all closer together.

747
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: It turned into a kind of my bachelor party. We

748
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: ended up going to a Texas Ranger game that night,

749
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: just the boys, and it was such a great experience.

750
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: So that was my suit from kinsman Shop, custom made

751
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: suit that fit like butter. I love that suit. Black, beautiful,

752
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: and I went very It wasn't a tux, but it

753
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: was a beautiful black cut suit with a black tie,

754
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: so it looked like black tie.

755
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 2: You looked so handsome. I just wanted you in a

756
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 2: black suit. I know you kind of thought about gray,

757
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: but I did.

758
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: Kind of tell you about it.

759
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 2: Well, you're just so classic in a black suit.

760
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: I was going to go. I was thinking between dark

761
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: dark gray, and when I got there, I was like, Okay,

762
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: this is a no brainer. But the boys all, I

763
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: guess my grooms men I would call them, although we

764
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: didn't have people stand next to us. We'll talk about that.

765
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: But my grooms men all had gray suits, and they

766
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: got the same ties, matching suits, matching ties.

767
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: So gosh, I feel like we're like running through the

768
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: logistics and you just made me think of something and

769
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 2: I want to just pause and take a moment. Everything

770
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 2: about both of these weddings was perfect.

771
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

772
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: I feel so grateful. I feel so lucky. I am overjoyed.

773
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: The day after our wedding and NAPA, I probably cried

774
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: six more times just out of sheer joy. At one point,

775
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 2: I was showering because we're gonna go to a morning

776
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 2: after the wedding brunch and I'm crying and Chris comes in.

777
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 2: He's like, what's wrong. I'm like, I'm just happy.

778
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: We were getting dressed and crying, heaving in the shower

779
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: and I run it. I was like, oh my god, babe,

780
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 1: what's wrong. What's wrong? You're like, I'm just so happy,

781
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 1: which is great. And I mean, honestly, as I sit

782
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 1: here now and I look at you, I and my ring,

783
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: I feel on my finger and I am I am

784
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: so happy to be your husband. I'm so excited to

785
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: be married. I'm so hopefully we're not just dragging this

786
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: on because I love talking about I love reliving this.

787
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: We've talked about it a million times, and that's that's

788
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: how I know this is great because we have so

789
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: only great memories from every event. And that morning, Saturday morning,

790
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: was our wedding day. What did you do in the morning?

791
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: Because I got up and I went to work out

792
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: with my boys. We went to the gym, got a

793
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: little sweat on. What did you do?

794
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,399
Speaker 2: Well, I need everything get takes women getting ready takes

795
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 2: a lot longer, so I kind of just woke up,

796
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: got coffee and went.

797
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: To go get ready.

798
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 2: I would have loved to get a work out in well.

799
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we didn't have bridesmaids and groomsmen in

800
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 2: the way of like yeah that they stood up there

801
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 2: and we both like, like my mom got makeup and hair,

802
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 2: and my sister did, and and you know, Taylor did,

803
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 2: and so we needed to get everybody ready, and they did.

804
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 2: You know, my sister and Taylor and your brother and

805
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 2: Josh did walk down the aisle with us. So so

806
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 2: you know, you're just getting ready, is what we were doing.

807
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,479
Speaker 2: And I probably at that point I was a little Okay,

808
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 2: let's let's we haven't talked about this. Yeah, I'm glad

809
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: you brought that up, So let's set the scene. It

810
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 2: is our wedding day. And I will say that now

811
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: that both events are done, and they were both so magical,

812
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't have changed a thing. They were different,

813
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: and each was exactly what we wanted it to be

814
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 2: and had planned it to be, so I couldn't be happier.

815
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: But I do think NAPA is to me, our anniversary

816
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 2: is when we got married.

817
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: October fourteenth will be I think the anniversary.

818
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: NAPA was so much more. Austin was emotional because we

819
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: were with a lot of people we know in love,

820
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,479
Speaker 2: but NAPA was emotional because it was with our very

821
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: closest people, I think, and also it was the first time,

822
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 2: and so that's what made me think of it, because

823
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 2: we haven't talked about this when you said how would

824
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 2: you do that morning? How nervous were you that morning

825
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 2: or what was going through your mind in the morning

826
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: of so.

827
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 1: At peace with everything. Everything had come off so well,

828
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: and again you and I had a fingerprint on everything

829
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: that was happening, from the gift bags to the hotel.

830
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: To the way we are going to go a big

831
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 2: announcement career change. We're going into wedding planning.

832
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.

833
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: It's called let the Journey Begin, Wedding Planners Incorporated. And

834
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: we're here to start your journey.

835
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: By the way, good idea.

836
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: Write that down.

837
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, write that down, somebody write that down. I was

838
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: so at peace, and there was something I really wanted

839
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: to have happened that day, which was be around the

840
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: people I love. You know, you and I were going

841
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: to separate. You were going to the wedding site to

842
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: get ready. I was kind of left to my own devices,

843
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: and so I went to work out with my boys,

844
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: and then we got done, got showered up, and I

845
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: grabbed the kids, Josh and Taylor and my mom and

846
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: we walked down to Model Bakery, one of our favorite

847
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 1: places there, and Napa to get the famous English muff

848
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: and breakfast, and so we walked down there and it

849
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: turned out your Theta sisters were there for Missoo, your

850
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: sorority sisters, and a few other of our wedding guests

851
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 1: were there, and so we ended up like like twenty

852
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: of us just sitting around having this breakfast again impromptu

853
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: because it's such a small town, one of the things

854
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: I love about Napa. And then on the way back,

855
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: because it was kind of late in the morning, football

856
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: had started, and so everybody had gathered at one of

857
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: the local saloons. And yes it was called a saloon.

858
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: You know, as much as I wanted every moment with

859
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 2: all of our friends of the family, that we again,

860
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: I'm okay that I missed the football go on.

861
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: So like Michigan was playing, and of course the man

862
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: who officiated our wedding was a big Michigan fan. TCU

863
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: was playing, so Josh and I and Taylor we wanted

864
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: to see TCU play, and so we all just hung out,

865
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: had a little bite and then they stayed there and

866
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. And that's when I

867
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: headed off to go get ready to head to the

868
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: wedding site as well.

869
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: So you were at peace.

870
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, really, we're you know the I got it back

871
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: up though, because this whole thing came full circle to

872
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: why I was so emotional. I had not looked at

873
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: the gift. I left at lunch and I went back

874
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: to our room. You had left by now, and so

875
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: I'm now alone, really for the first time in the day,

876
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: and it kind of starts hitting me. And I walk

877
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: in our bedroom at the hotel and there's the gift

878
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: that you left me. There's the picture of your dad,

879
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, okay, here we go. I grabbed

880
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: the letter and when I realized that the picture was

881
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: not holding up on its own, it was leaning against

882
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: a jewelry box, and so I didn't look in the

883
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: jewelry box and I sit down on the bed. I

884
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: open the letter, and your mom explains to me that

885
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: in this box, oh god, I'm not going to get

886
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: through this, h Okay. In this box are a pair

887
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: of cuff links and they are your father's and she

888
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: has never given anything of your dad's to anybody else before,

889
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: and she gave me a pair of well, your brother

890
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: John has some stuff but outside the family, and so

891
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: she gave me a pair of your dad's cuff links.

892
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: Didn't ask me to wear them, just she wanted me

893
00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: to have them and said she loved me. Now you

894
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: see why I didn't make it through my valves and NAPA.

895
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: And she was excited that we were going to spend

896
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: our life together. And she loved the way that I

897
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: loved you. And so I am bawling like a baby,

898
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 1: sitting by myself in bed, losing it just and now

899
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: I'm done. And I think that was the impetus for

900
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: being done for the day. I am now an emotional

901
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: basket case. I'm at the tipping point now the rest

902
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: of the afternoon. So your mom just gets me. So

903
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: I shower and I get ready. But your dad's cuff

904
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: links were very much just it hit me. It hit

905
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: me that I have expanded my family. I love your mom,

906
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 1: I love your brother, I love your sister. I love

907
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: the people in their lives. Your sister's husband and your

908
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: brother has an amazing girlfriend, Casey. So it just hit

909
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: me like I'm family and you're my family. And so

910
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: I got ready and I.

911
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 2: Think, I, well, what it just means so much to

912
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 2: me to say that, because you know I have in

913
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 2: the past, I've I've never been in a relationship where

914
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 2: someone I mean, obviously it's the the reason why I

915
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 2: married you, but I just want to spotlight the simple

916
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 2: fact that you respect and cherish the meaning of becoming family.

917
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 2: And I love the way you put it that. Yeah,

918
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 2: we're married and our husband and wife, but like you,

919
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 2: I said this in my vows that you love your

920
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: family as you love my family as your own, and

921
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 2: I feel the same way. And I feel like we're

922
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 2: really on equal footing about that. And I didn't have

923
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: that before, and it should have been more of a

924
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: red flag for me before. I think I was in

925
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 2: relationships before where I thought, oh, this will come in time.

926
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: In time, they'll grow to love and appreciate my family.

927
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: It takes time. But you've always respected my family, and

928
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 2: I can see how much you are are grateful that

929
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 2: my mom like that. My mom gave you that, and

930
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 2: it is a big deal. My mom had never given anyone.

931
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 2: I have some of my dad stuff, my sister and

932
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 2: my brother, no one else had ever gotten anything.

933
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: Well, I guess I buried the lead too. So Louren

934
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: and I are big letter writers. We like to leave

935
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: each other's notes we like to write letters. I had

936
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:16,280
Speaker 1: written letters to her all week, and then we wrote

937
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: letters which I didn't know, but she wrote letters to

938
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: my kids, Josh and Taylor, our kids, Josh and Taylor,

939
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: and gave them to Josh and Tay the day of

940
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: our wedding. I had done the same for your mom, Donna,

941
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: your brother John, and your sister Christina, and so I

942
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: delivered letters to their rooms and slid them under the

943
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: door the day of the wedding because I just wanted

944
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: to say thank you and just show my appreciation for

945
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: being welcomed into your family, and just let them know

946
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: how excited I am to love you, how excited I

947
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: am to be a part of this family. And so

948
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: that's how we also started the day, was exchanging letters

949
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,280
Speaker 1: with our loved ones, and then we gave each other letters.

950
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: I didn't give you yours yet, but you left mine,

951
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: and so after I read your mom's letter. This may

952
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 1: have been a mistake, but after I read your mom's letter,

953
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: I then opened your letter because you left me a

954
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: note when you left to go get ready, and now

955
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: that I was back from lunch, your letter was sitting

956
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,479
Speaker 1: on the bed, so I went straight from your mom's letter,

957
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: and I said, well, I'm already bawling, I might as

958
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: well just keep going. And so then I opened your letter.

959
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: There were other letters that we left each other, but you, yeah,

960
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: you left one letter in my suit bag, and I,

961
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, like, how there. You know, we traveled, and

962
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: so I put my suit in a little suit bag,

963
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,399
Speaker 1: a little cloth thing that you zip up, garment bag

964
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: if you will, and I pulled it off and I

965
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: just threw it on the closet floor and I did

966
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: not realize that you had left a letter in there.

967
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until that day when I'm like, you know,

968
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not going to get dressed here. I'll

969
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: get dressed at the wedding site. So you know, I'm

970
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: going to put everything back in the garment bag. And

971
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 1: so I picked it up and I'm like, this feels

972
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: a little heavy, it's weird. And I reached in there.

973
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, there's your letter was

974
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: in there. I would have missed it.

975
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 2: Well, that was fate because I was trying to surprise

976
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: you with it, and I just assumed you would be

977
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: taking the suit house, so, okay, learn more about suits.

978
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: So then it was time to head to the wedding

979
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,800
