WEBVTT - Tears, Two Weddings, and Tiger Woods (Part 1)

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.

0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Hi wife, Hello husband.

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>We're married so many times, we are officially officially married,

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>and we have the rings to prove it. I actually now,

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I think the thing I am most excited about is

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>we get to be public about this because we did

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>have the two weddings, and one of the things I

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't think about was that I wouldn't be able to

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>wear my ring and really celebrate us in public until

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>we had this second wedding. And so I'm excited to

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>actually get to wear my ring. Something I'm looking forward

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 1>to because I would wear it around the house and

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>then I would have to take it off, leave it

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>in our bedroom and then go out about the day.

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.800
<v Speaker 2>So everybody, we had two weddings. We want to make

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 2>sure we spill all the details for you all today

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 2>and share everything that we can with thank you over

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>these next few episodes of the most dramatic podcast ever.

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 2>And to clarify, yes, we had two weddings.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Let's start there, and you're right, we have some dirt.

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>We have some exciting things to talk about, some things

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that I think are going to shake up Bachelor Nation

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>for sure, especially from our second wedding, and so yeah,

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>we have so many details, so many great stories, so

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>many things to dive into. We will break it up

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>over several episodes. And we were excited to tell all

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>right here, so.

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>You were so okay, we're to begin. So we got

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 2>married for the first time October fourteenth in Napa Valley, California,

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.119
<v Speaker 2>a place near and dear to our hearts. We got

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 2>engaged there as well, And I just want to clarify

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 2>what you explained about the ring, because you were so sweetly.

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>We had this wedding in Napa and then we had

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>another one in Austin, and in between the two weddings,

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 2>we wanted to keep it private and just announced that

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>we were married all together as one and kind of

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 2>make both events feel really big. So yeah, you didn't

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>wear your ring in between. But what was so cute

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:08.799
<v Speaker 2>was that you wanted to wear his rings so much

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>that I bought him. I bought Chris this watch as

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>a wedding gift, and he was wearing the watch all

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the time, saying, well, this is kind of like wearing

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:18.839
<v Speaker 2>my ring in between the two ways.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>It was my hidden way of wearing something representing us

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>in public without making things public and yeah, the purpose.

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>People are like, why'd you do two weddings, Well, because

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>we wanted two different things. We wanted that intimate, very small,

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>private affair with our family, and that was NAPA. Again,

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>a very intentional wedding. Everything was intentional in that we

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 1>were in a place that was special to us. Not

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>only we got engaged there, but we've spent a lot

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:46.920
<v Speaker 1>of time there and it's just a place that we

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>have found so many friends, we forged so many memories.

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>So it was a no brainer to go back to NAPA.

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.239
<v Speaker 1>But that wasn't like the raging party that we wanted

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to have with all of our friends.

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>You know what, Yes, there were any reasons, but a

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 2>huge part of what we kept thinking, I have heard

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 2>from so many people, I had this great wedding, but

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get to even see this person. I didn't

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 2>get to say hi to this person. I didn't get

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 2>to talk to this person. And so we really wanted

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 2>to be able to spend important close time with the

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 2>people who have been with us since the beginning of

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>our relationship, our family, our closest friends. That was NAPA.

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Austin was a blowoutrage, rage party.

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>It really was was, it was everything. I just want

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to put this into context for the listeners, because well,

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Lauren's voice, you mean I sound great. I probably sounds

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>a little tired, maybe even a little hungover. Are you

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>hungover a little bit? I was.

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's seven pm at night on Sunday, November fifth.

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 2>We are about twenty four hours after I'm just and

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.839
<v Speaker 2>you're just by the way all day.

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm hungover specifically because of you know,

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>a few tequila shots that we did do I did

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>several with Bachs or Nation friends last night. But this

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>is the culmination of so much emotion stress because we

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>wanted to pull this off and do it right and

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>keep it secret and announce it the right way and

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>save it for the podcast. So there's just I think

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>my body is just finally relaxing.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>There's hungover, which is your nauseous, maybe you're vomiting. Oh yeah, no, no,

0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>you've a headache. And then there's like a type of

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 2>hangover where you have an emotional hangover. Actually a friend

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 2>of ours, my friend Jen, who came to both weddings.

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 2>She's a real close maybe of mine. She had the

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 2>perfect phrase, I thought, after NAPA, she told me. She

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 2>was like, I'm so exhausted, and I think I figured

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 2>out why. She said, it's a love hangover. She said

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 2>NAPA was so full of so much love, and she

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>said Austin was a there too. But you know we

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>had toasts and speeches from the kids and my siblings

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 2>and our moms and your dad and your brother and

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>dear friends, and and you know we we had I

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>loved our vows. I'll say it, but she said I

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 2>left the events with a love hangover, where it was

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 2>so much wonderful emotion that she said, my body feels

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>exhausted from all the love.

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>And we'll break both weddings down. We'll get into the

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>nitty gritty and the details and the good, the bad,

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the ugly. But overall, if we were to paint with

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a broad brush, I would say NAPA for me was

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>emotion level a fifteen out of one to ten. I mean,

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 1>I cried seventy times.

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I cried so much.

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I cried like a baby. At NAPA.

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>You cried, but babe, hold on, I need to take

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 2>a minute. You cried way more than I thought you would.

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I really and you said that to me. I wasn't

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>sure how to take it. Is that a bad thing?

0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Like you're like.

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Oky, well, because you're just a very strong person. Like

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 2>you're really not a big crier. I mean, I know

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you're like, oh, I'm a ball back, but you're

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 2>only You're only a crier in like like sometimes things

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 2>with the kids can make you cry. To be honest,

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 2>you haven't really cried over you and I very much,

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 2>and I would never. I know that our love is

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>what it is, but I understand that parental love is

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 2>so different. I have to tell you the truth, and

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean to dear up now saying this. I

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>was a little scared you weren't going to cry. And

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 2>I know that you love me, but I was a

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>little scared. You're just not like you're emotional, but you're

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 2>not the biggest crier.

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I'm usually pretty even keeled in situation.

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Which is something I love about you. You stay very strong.

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little more wacky, and so you're very centered

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 2>for me. But I was I think I I think

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I would have been hurt if you hadn't cried at all.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought, Okay, he's gonna cry a little bit, But

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 2>you cried during the vows and NAPA oh, probably five times.

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.919
<v Speaker 1>I could not get through the vowel in Napa Valley,

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I just and again we'll get to the details of it,

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 1>but again I would say Napa on a scale of one,

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>it's an emotion wise was a fifteen because I did.

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I cried. I started crying in the morning. And again,

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to reveal everything about Napa, but there

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>were just so many things that triggered me during the

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>day in such a beautiful way. Because it's all about family,

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's the one thing that you gives. Let's talk

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>about it, okay.

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.239
<v Speaker 2>So why did you cry so many times?

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Because the things that trigger me are family. That's what

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>always gets to my heart. You are family. Now you

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 1>have been family, but now your family is mine. So

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>your mom gave me a gift. This is where it

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 1>all started. Your mom. We I was doing pretty good.

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I went to breakfast, I went to work out with

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>my buddy Chip. We got our we got our workout

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>in it's our tradition. We went back to the room

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and your mom had left me a gift. And I

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't quite understand exactly what the gift was because I

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't dive into it. But I could see on our

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>bed table that she had left a picture of you

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and your father, and so the a picture of you

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>and your dad, your late father for those that don't know.

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>And so I write there I just said, I'm not

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>ready for this yet, because I knew what was in

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>that letter, and I just thought it was a picture

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>in a letter. I didn't know that there was a

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>gift in there. I didn't see that. I waited for

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you to leave. You left, I think around noon or

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>something to go get ready, and I had the room

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to myself. So we actually, by the way, spoiler alert,

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>we saw each other the day the morning of our wedding. Yes,

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>we also decided that we stayed together the night before

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>our wedding.

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>This was a big debate and it's funny, do you

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 2>in looking back. So Chris was saying we should spend

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the night apart the night before our wedding in this

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>very traditional way, which is sweet. But I said, look,

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 2>we have this special three day weekend that we've planned

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>in Napa with our best friends, with our family. I

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 2>want every minute with you. I want to be together

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 2>every minute. I want to wake up with you on

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the morning of our wedding like a kid on Christmas

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>morning and I won and we spent the night together.

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Are you glad or looking back, do you wish we hadn't?

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't even know why I was going through

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the motions of getting a different rooms. I think somebody

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>had given me the advice to stay apart that night.

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>It would make me, I guess, long for you or

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 1>get excited. I didn't need that.

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what made me long for you the

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 2>fact that, let's really tell it all, the week of

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.199
<v Speaker 2>our wedding, and I think twenty four hours into marriage

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.080
<v Speaker 2>should get some kind of wife award the week of

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 2>our wedding, Chris Harrison says to me, Babe, I have

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:27.359
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity.

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, No, I didn't announce this the week of our wedding.

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I announced this many months before, but it was going

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>to take place the week it would be.

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I have an opportunity the week of our wedding, a

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 2>couple days before. In fact, I can go to Pebble

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Beach and play golf and hang out with Tiger Woods,

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 2>and I would like to do that. It means we're

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 2>no longer going to travel and nap it together for

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 2>the wedding. I'll meet you there and I'll meet you

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 2>there on Thursday. And I said, Babe, absolutely go hang

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>with your real husband as Tiger.

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so revision is history, and I will get back

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to what made me cry about you.

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Can I get a wife award?

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>No, because, oh my god, I mean, can I just

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>tell the real story of how way because it's actually

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>very complimentary first fight, because you'll agree this is how

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>it went, and this is very complimentary of the kind

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>of woman you are and why I love you. I

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.680
<v Speaker 1>got invited to this event that I play in every

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 1>year with Tiger and a few other PGA guys and

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.719
<v Speaker 1>some of my very close friends that I have known

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.439
<v Speaker 1>for about twenty years, and I got this call to

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>go and I turned it down. I said no, And

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you heard about this and you said what was that?

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>And I said, oh, that was a deal to go

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>play at Pebble Beach And you go, well, Babey, aren't

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you going? And I said, well, it's it's our wedding week.

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Zero chance I'm going on our wedding week. There's no

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>way I'm going because it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. No, And

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:52.719
<v Speaker 1>so I just I said, don't Eve worry about it.

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I've turned it down, and you said, Babe, I know

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you love these people, and I know you love this event.

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>You love to go do it, and you know I

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.559
<v Speaker 1>love Pebble Beach. Go do this. And it took a

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>little time because I said, this is a really bad idea.

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to end well. But you are the

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>one that actually pushed me and said, no, no, go

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 1>do that. My mom and sister are going to come in.

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>You go, and that's we will meet up in Napa.

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 2>You know what. You're right, and I stam corrected and

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why. This is why I witness testimonies

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 2>unreliable in court. I really didn't remember it that way,

0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 2>but you're completely right. It was like that, and I

0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 2>should have told it that way because we actually both

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 2>look and sound like better people in the correct version.

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.319
<v Speaker 1>And if people will go back to my social media,

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>there was this bit I did with Max Homa, who

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>just came off the Ryder cup one of the golfers,

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and I announced on that Instagram post that video, I said,

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>if you make this shot, you will officiate my wedding.

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 1>What people didn't realize is that wedding was in two

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>days and so Max and Tiger, and all those people

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>knew about my wedding coming up. So that made that

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 1>video even better if you go back and watch it

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.679
<v Speaker 1>that it was two days later he would have come

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 1>to our wedding. Takes were actually kind of the stakes

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 1>were high. But so I drove over Wednesday night of

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 1>our wedding, and I got there a day a night

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>ahead of you, which was actually really good because I

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>did some shopping. I got some things for our room,

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.439
<v Speaker 1>I got some things for you. I was able to

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of lay the groundwork and get things together. Being

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.559
<v Speaker 1>the organizer, I like details done.

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll sing your praises because I do remember this accurately. Yes.

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 2>So I ended up flying in with my mom and

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 2>my sister who came and stayed in Austin with me

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>while Chris was in Pebble Beach, and it was fun

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.239
<v Speaker 2>because we kind of had a little girls a week beforehand.

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 2>And then what Chris did before we got there was

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 2>he got me flowers. He got me a candle, a

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.559
<v Speaker 2>Marlow scented candle. What a perfect I mean, I love

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 2>a candle and we're low for NAPA. And he got

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.839
<v Speaker 2>my mom flowers and my sister flowers and wrote them

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 2>notes that were in their hotel rooms and wrote me

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.960
<v Speaker 2>a note and while you were gone in Pebble Beach,

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 2>you all. So he left me a note for every

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.199
<v Speaker 2>day that he was gone, and I had a letter

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 2>to open from him for every single day of our

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 2>wedding week leading up to our wedding, and then I

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 2>ended up opening the final letter on the day of Wow,

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm really glad we're doing this podcast because now this

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 2>is a good record, because I was wishing I had

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 2>like journaled because I'm worried I'm gonna forget everything. So

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.079
<v Speaker 2>this is good because.

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>It did go by. It went That's one thing about

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.679
<v Speaker 1>That's one thing about NAPA that was I knew it

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 1>was so good because it went by so fast. And

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I even thought, in my wisdom and experience, slow this down,

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.280
<v Speaker 1>breathe it all in, take it all in, and it's

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.680
<v Speaker 1>it's impossible. And obviously those who have been married and

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.719
<v Speaker 1>had these moments, everybody knows the same.

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Somebody. I think there's got to be a name for

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the phenomena that happens to your body. Obviously, we're having

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of wine, and obviously I was just forgetting

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 2>to eat because I was talking to people in stress. So, look,

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 2>was that a little tipsy at our wedding events in Napa, Sure,

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>but not to the point of something else was happening

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 2>to my body. It's an out of body I don't

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.119
<v Speaker 2>know if you're on an adrenaline high, if your emotions

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 2>are high, but you feel almost like it's a blur,

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.440
<v Speaker 2>you're watching it all happen from above or something. It's

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:15.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of surreal.

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>And we had set originally to have a Saturday wedding,

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 1>so a Friday night kind of get together, a pre

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>wedding party. I guess it wasn't. It wasn't a rehearsal dinner.

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 1>It was this amazing thing. And then that we had

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>set up at this vineyard, and then Friday, and then

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that was Friday, then we're gonna have Saturday. Well, we

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>all love each other so much, and there was this

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 1>great group of people, a very small group. There's only

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>forty people at this particular wedding. Forty what what was

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the final number?

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we had forty three or forty five people

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 2>including us at our wedding in Napa. Yeah, And so,

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 2>like you said, Friday, we did a welcome wine party.

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>But before we got to that Thursday became a thing. Yes,

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 1>well we had not planned on, but this was what.

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 2>We'd hoped for exactly, I really look. I guess Napa

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.160
<v Speaker 2>was a destination wedding, even though a lot of our

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 2>friends live in California. But we really wanted everybody to

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.440
<v Speaker 2>be fully present for the entire weekend. It wasn't a

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 2>thing of like, oh, we can't make Friday, but what

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 2>will be there Saturday. No, we wanted everyone there the

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 2>whole weekend. It was a destination wedding and I wanted

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 2>everybody to enjoy Napa. We had lots of great events,

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 2>but like, go do a tasting on your own if

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 2>you want. Though, people gotta be careful about coming in

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 2>hot to Napa. It's like Vegas, Okay, you can't as

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>professionals in Napa. I would say, if you're going do

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 2>two wine tastings a day, go to dinner. You can't

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 2>do more than that, or you are on the floor,

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 2>which should happen to some people on Thursday. So people

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 2>got excited. They started coming in on Thursday. Before we

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 2>knew it, thirty something people were already going to be

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.200
<v Speaker 2>there on Thursday, So we had it a Thursday night dinner,

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:51.480
<v Speaker 2>which was great and where people also got a little drunk.

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Everyone's so excited and you get there and then you

0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 2>do a tasting and you've been drinking all day. And

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that was good because people sort of got

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 2>it together and then didn't end up getting super drunk

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 2>on Friday and Saturday.

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And so Thursday night ended up being kind of this

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 1>beautiful I called a family meal where we just everyone

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>mixed and matched and no seating chart and we just

0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>had this room to ourselves at this great.

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>We literally the week of grabbed a private room at

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 2>comp Lined. By the way, you haven't been an amazing

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 2>restaurant downtown Napa so yummy.

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, we should say from the beginning

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>we stayed at the Archer Hotel in downtown Napa.

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 2>My new favorite hotel in Napa. I'm so glad we

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 2>found it. We only ever discovered it because we were

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 2>looking for a place with a rooftop view in Napa

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and a friend of ours, Catherine Reynolds of roy Winery,

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 2>where we at her wedding dinner, which was amazing, she

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 2>told us about the Archer and gosh, if you're in Napa,

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean they've got this rooftop. They have music, live

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.400
<v Speaker 2>music there every Sunday for brunch. The rooms are gorgeous

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's so conveniently located to everything, and so that

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 2>was another fun part. Every wanted everybody to stay at

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the same hotel. Everybody stayed at the Archer. They put

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 2>us all on the same floor. I felt like I

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 2>was in a strority again. We were walking on the halls,

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.199
<v Speaker 2>like knocking on each other's doors, hanging out. It was

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 2>the experience that I wanted.

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I love the Archer and I like downtown Napa.

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 1>There's so many great resorts there and I've stayed at resorts. Well,

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you and I have stayed at resorts around and it's

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 1>fun to be out in the countryside. And there's something

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>about being in downtown because you're buying Model Bakery, which

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 1>is famous for their English muffins, and you know, gots Burgers,

0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and you can go to I think Monday Bakery, and

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 1>there's tasting rooms and so being in the city is

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 1>just cool because it's such a walkable little downtown. It's

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>really cute. So the Archer is it's newly renovated, beautiful,

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 1>beautiful hotel, and then.

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Big takeaway for me, I would say, if you're having

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 2>a destination wedding, it's helpful for everybody to stay somewhere

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.120
<v Speaker 2>that has walkability, because then you know, and people are drinking,

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 2>you don't want them like renting a car, and so

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 2>everybody could walk and grab a coffee and we didn't

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 2>have to worry about everyone renting cars on top of

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>getting hotel rooms.

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>And so Friday, you and I kind of hung out

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>because people were arriving. Most of the guests that were

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:03.119
<v Speaker 1>there went off and did tastings and enjoyed Napa Valley.

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 1>My family, the kids came in from college and they

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.399
<v Speaker 1>arrived with my mom. My dad arrived on Friday as well,

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and so we kind of hung around the hotel until

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>late afternoon when we headed off to our Friday event,

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 1>which was it one of our favorite wineries in the

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 1>world and just a beautiful tasting room at La Quoya.

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes, now there was a forty minute shuttle ride to Laquoya. Yeah,

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 2>did people get to tips here?

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, we decided to break up the buses.

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Was this weird? I in retrospect? Okay, here's my idea.

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 2>So we, of course people are drinking, we want to

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 2>shuttle them all around, so we had two shuttles and

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 2>though tell the la Quoya was going to be the

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 2>longer one of the weekend, forty minutes. So I'm like,

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.360
<v Speaker 2>we gotta have some champagne and tequila on the buses.

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, you know'd be fun. It's to a

0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 2>babes bus and a boys bus. Everybody's going to be

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 2>with their a couple all weekend. Let's split up girls

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.439
<v Speaker 2>and boys. So we had a girl's bus and a

0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 2>boy's bus. It was sort of like a really really

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 2>quick bachelor and bachelorette.

0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Party it was. And our bus we had great tequila

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and it was pretty chill, had a little music going.

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Your bus was not chill, no.

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Which I thought the boys would have turned it up more.

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah know, your mom decided she was the bar tendress

0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 2>of the bus, the bus tendress, which I loved, and

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>she was I don't know if she was violating transportation rules,

0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 2>but she was walking up and down the aisle of

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 2>the bus, pouring the gals champagne throughout the bus ride.

0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.680
<v Speaker 2>At one point she did take the bus driver's microphone.

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that was a violation either, but

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:34.119
<v Speaker 2>shout out to Mariabeth Harrison for making a party happen

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 2>on the bus. It was a party bus and became.

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>A flight attendant, just walking up and down the aisle, serving.

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Drinks, absolutely telling us to buckle our seatbelts and hold

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:42.920
<v Speaker 2>on tight.

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:44.639
<v Speaker 1>She's she's a bad woman.

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 2>There's zeals in Napa. It was a bit windy. I

0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.119
<v Speaker 2>was worried at some points, but we were ready to

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 2>catch her.

0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 1>I can see his mom going down the day before that.

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't want that to happen. But so, what was

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 2>happening on your bus? We never even talked about this.

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 1>It was so quiet.

0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was quiet.

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 1>To say it, it was chill. It was like everybody because

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 1>the guys were just there was lot a lot of people.

0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 1>The guys didn't know each other, and so it was

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of just getting to know each other, talking

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a few tequila.

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Wait, you're saying the guys had the deep conmos.

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:15.399
<v Speaker 1>No deep deep. We were talking sports. We're talking golf.

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Of course, it's never deep. Guys getting to know each

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 2>other means so what football team teams? That's guys getting

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 2>to know each other. Women give us forty minutes on

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.200
<v Speaker 2>a bus, you will walk off crying. You know each

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 2>other's how many breakups you've had, you know, like the

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.679
<v Speaker 2>names of each other's siblings. Okay, got it? That?

0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Like today, And I'm going to flash forward to today

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.440
<v Speaker 1>because we had a brunch today post wedding, and our

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.359
<v Speaker 1>dear friend Sage Steele was here at the brunch along

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.800
<v Speaker 1>with one of your sorority sisters. And we look over

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.920
<v Speaker 1>in the kitchen. They're both bawling. They've only been talking

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>for five minutes and they're bawling. That is the difference

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>between them, the women's bus and the boys bus, who

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 1>they just know. I root for the cowboys and I

0:20:56.760 --> 0:21:09.760
<v Speaker 1>like to play golf. So we get to La Koya

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and they have rolled out the red carpet. It is

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>decked out, It is beautify It's perfect weather. We got

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 1>so blessed with the weather.

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:23.600
<v Speaker 2>And there was a heat wave in Napa the weekend

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 2>before our wedding. Our wedding weekend was perfect. It was

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 2>like crisp and seventy and sunny. So we were just

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:35.880
<v Speaker 2>so blessed. I do like to think I sometimes think

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 2>that my dad is kind of watching over me with

0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:45.160
<v Speaker 2>those moments. I really feel like because in Austin. We

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.960
<v Speaker 2>had the weekend before torrential down four and thirty five

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.040
<v Speaker 2>degrees and then we just sad. The wedding in Austin.

0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 2>It was seventy and sunny and beautiful.

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Gary's looking up for it.

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I think he's part in the clouds for us. So

0:21:57.359 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Laquoia Winery on Friday, and oh my dreams came true

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.560
<v Speaker 2>because right as I entered, I was handed I'm gonna

0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:10.639
<v Speaker 2>be a little bougie, a caviar bite, a caviar bite,

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and like a little what was it? It was in

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 2>a pastry. It was so good. The food was so amazing. Look,

0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.639
<v Speaker 2>there was one thing. I'll be honest, I don't know

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:21.560
<v Speaker 2>if I'm a bride on a budget. My dress is

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 2>not that expensive. My dress was pretty. You don't even

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:24.479
<v Speaker 2>know how much it was.

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Can I guess five thousand dollars?

0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Dress was like fourteen hundred dollars.

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 1>You're dress as fourteen hundred dollars, not fourteen thousand. It

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 1>was fourteen hundred, which is still a lot of money.

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like negating that.

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:37.359
<v Speaker 2>It's just it was.

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.240
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, that dress, we'll talk about it.

0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:43.879
<v Speaker 1>But man, that dress, Okay, that woman in the dress.

0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm not saying fourteen

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 2>hundred dollars is a small amount of money. In fact,

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 2>that's part of why waiting. But that's part of why

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to wear the dress twice. I'm a Midwestern gal.

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:57.479
<v Speaker 2>You've got to get your bang for your buck. Okay,

0:22:57.640 --> 0:22:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I love the dress. We spent some money on it,

0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Let's wear it twice. So, but I do want to

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:08.560
<v Speaker 2>spend money on food, on wine, on like the experience

0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:10.160
<v Speaker 2>in the room and the space, and if you ever

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:12.440
<v Speaker 2>get the chance to go to NAPA. We are giving

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:15.879
<v Speaker 2>some recommendations on this podcast. Lacoia Winery. This it's stunning.

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So they're tied in with Cardinal as well, same

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>wine maker as Cardinal, this guy Chris Carpenter, who's a genius.

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 1>And this is up on Spring Mountain, so it's a

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>bit of a drive up there, back into the valley

0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and then back up on Spring Mountain. But man, it

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 1>is at elevation on the mountain. It is so stunning,

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 1>so beautiful the architecture, but the views, and it is

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 1>some of the best wine in the valley as well.

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 2>And so we had multiple somaliers doing what we wanted

0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 2>to do is also make it like a tasting experience,

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:50.399
<v Speaker 2>so they were doing pourings and tastings with people. I

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:53.199
<v Speaker 2>would call this a welcome wine party. We didn't want

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 2>to be two traditional guys. We didn't do any type

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 2>of rehearsal really, and we did a welcome wine party.

0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Have some taste. It was all past apps. We had, oh,

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 2>some crispy fries made in duck fat.

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Heck, yeah, duck fat makes anything better. And just I

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:11.920
<v Speaker 1>think the difference is we curated and again everything was intentional.

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.439
<v Speaker 1>We curated the wine and the food and the music

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and the scene that was Napa and that rolled over

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 1>into the next night as well, that was not Austin.

0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Austin was like rip roaring, bootscoot and let's have a

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 1>blast shooting tequila. And we should say, very different crowds

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:32.639
<v Speaker 1>and different people attended both because in Napa very close

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.239
<v Speaker 1>friends and family of both of ours. As far as

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the bachelor world goes, there was just.

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 2>One, well he's a lot backed into the strong body.

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:44.840
<v Speaker 1>It was Andrew Firestone.

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Firestone m Seed our Friday night welcome wine party.

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 2>That's the man's happy place, isn't it is Andrew Firestone

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:53.719
<v Speaker 2>happier than when he's em seeing something.

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>When he's holding a microphone in a public forum, that

0:24:57.640 --> 0:24:59.040
<v Speaker 1>is that is his superpowers.

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 2>You know what subtle difference. You're a host, you're a tvo.

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not saying you can't m see an event,

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:07.440
<v Speaker 2>but Andrew like is an emsy And when I say that,

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean the man lays it all on the table.

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:12.359
<v Speaker 2>And when I say that, I mean he literally while

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 2>he was emceeing this event, jumped on the table full

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:19.640
<v Speaker 2>body slid down the table at one point. So we

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:24.480
<v Speaker 2>just really wanted Napa to feel like, first of all,

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 2>every single person who was there we've both known for years.

0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:31.359
<v Speaker 2>They are intimate, close friends of ours. And then we wanted,

0:25:31.440 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, people to kind of feel really part of everything.

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:36.880
<v Speaker 2>So we said, Andrew, can you emcy Friday night? And

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 2>what he did was he brought up different people who

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:43.000
<v Speaker 2>we'd asked to give toasts, your brother, my brother, a

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 2>really good friend's chip and list who did a dual

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 2>couple's toast. My dad spoke, and then Andrew was the

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:53.880
<v Speaker 2>last person to speak, and he printed out the lyrics

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 2>to my all time favorite song I Want to Dance

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 2>with Somebody by Whitney Houston, and after giving a wonderful

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 2>he led the crowd in a group sing of I

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.879
<v Speaker 2>want to answer Somebody, and he slid it did a

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:08.119
<v Speaker 2>penguin belly side across it.

0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:10.280
<v Speaker 1>He was a team effort because his beautiful wife and

0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 1>dear friend, Evanna, as Andrew was speaking, kind of gave

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:15.040
<v Speaker 1>the she was.

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:17.560
<v Speaker 2>His Vanna, she was his Evanna White.

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 1>And Evanna kind of went around the room handing out something.

0:26:21.080 --> 0:26:24.160
<v Speaker 1>We didn't know what it was. And when Andrew kind

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:27.120
<v Speaker 1>of started going into the lyrics of the song in

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>his speech, it took us a minute to catch on

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 1>to what he was doing. And then we got into

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the chorus and everybody jumped in and the whole room

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:35.560
<v Speaker 1>was singing.

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I think what was so funny about it? And clever

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:40.639
<v Speaker 2>is he introduced it trying to mess with us and

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:42.959
<v Speaker 2>not be too obvious. He said, and now we're reading

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:49.679
<v Speaker 2>by the late great W. Houston's that's miss Whitney Houston.

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.120
<v Speaker 2>So he was amazing, and and Andrew was the only

0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:58.200
<v Speaker 2>bachelor alum at NAPA. And by the way, it doesn't

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 2>mean I mean we love That's why all of the

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 2>wonderful people were in Austin. We'll get to that. But Andrew,

0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I think, is someone who you like, we're just very

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 2>close to you and I with both him and Havanna,

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:09.360
<v Speaker 2>he's very near and dear.

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:12.600
<v Speaker 1>He's been one of my best friends throughout this whole thing,

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 1>and we've become very close. But what I love even

0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:18.200
<v Speaker 1>more is that you have become close to him and Evanna.

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I've been friends with him for over a decade.

0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:24.120
<v Speaker 1>That's how long ago we did that. Gosh, probably two pictures.

0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 2>You guys have of like, you know, when their kids

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:28.600
<v Speaker 2>are little, you're like sending you're helping change their diapers.

0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I was at the and it was really cool because

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I was at their wedding when he got well. I

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:35.080
<v Speaker 1>was at their engagement party actually when they came back

0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:37.400
<v Speaker 1>from Pismo Beach, and then I was at their wedding

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:40.399
<v Speaker 1>as well, up at Losa Livos and Santy Naz and

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 1>so to have him there was really special. And spoiler alert,

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.240
<v Speaker 1>we knew as well the Firestones could not make the

0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:49.879
<v Speaker 1>Austin party, so I'm glad that they were able to

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:50.359
<v Speaker 1>make nap.

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Up because I ask you an intimate question please, as

0:27:53.000 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about like men the way men ways men

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 2>get closer than the ways women get closer. I kind

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:00.639
<v Speaker 2>of feel like all my best friends of me naked,

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:03.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe in part because we lived in a sorority house,

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know, like women change in front of

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 2>each other, I don't know what we change front of

0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:08.920
<v Speaker 2>each Other's no big deal. Have you ever seen Andrew

0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Firestone naked?

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:13.359
<v Speaker 1>I've seen him in his underwear. I've seen most of

0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:16.719
<v Speaker 1>the guys in their boxers or briefs or whatever from

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the show. Well, from the show, especially back in the day,

0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:23.159
<v Speaker 1>we didn't like really it was so on a budget

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and on the fly and cheap. I guess we could

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 1>say that when we were at the original Bachelor house,

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:33.920
<v Speaker 1>there was one real master bedroom and primary closet, and

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 1>all of our clothes were in that one primary closet,

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and so we would just get dressed, so you know,

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.720
<v Speaker 1>like the makeup chair was there, so we'd each take

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:43.479
<v Speaker 1>a turn and makeup and then we'd get dressed. And

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 1>so not a big deal that we've all kind of

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 1>been in our boxers. So but no, I don't think

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to think if I've really I mean, this

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:52.760
<v Speaker 1>sounds weird, but if I've been naked with any of

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor's and I don't think so, but I think

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I've probably been in our boxer briefs with everyone.

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that that much like having sex, that that

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:05.680
<v Speaker 2>just instantly increases your intimacy level with someone if you

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:07.360
<v Speaker 2>just are in the room when they're changing or see

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 2>them change like all of a sudden, like we're really close. Now,

0:29:09.680 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 2>that's what happened to Ben Higgins and I, which made

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 2>it into his wedding toast to us in Austin, which

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.960
<v Speaker 2>we will get into. But anyway, it instantly uh bonds.

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I get Yeah, I guess, well, because you're

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 1>so vulnerable, right when you're truly stripped down, you're also

0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 1>stripped down emotionally, and it's like you're.

0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Not That's exactly why you just nailed it.

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's why the naked shows do so well, because

0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 1>what are you hiding?

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh you mean like Naked It Free? Yeah, all those shows,

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Naked and Best Friends. Okay, So Andrew Firestone m Seed

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:45.000
<v Speaker 2>absolutely crushed it. We had our I mean, like you know,

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I love when your friends and family can bring their

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 2>talents to the table. My brother's speech was so amazing.

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:52.959
<v Speaker 2>My little brother John. He made us laugh, you made

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:57.800
<v Speaker 2>us cry. And then we had our dear friend Nadine Levitt.

0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 2>She is a world class opera singer and she had

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 2>actually started the evening with an opera rendition, which I

0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:09.400
<v Speaker 2>think really set the tone. I recommend music using music

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 2>to help set the tone at the beginning, middle, and end.

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Because everyone can quiet down, settle in, and Nadine did

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>such a beautiful job. And the acoustics in the place,

0:30:18.280 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the opera, it just it brings tears to your eyes.

0:30:20.320 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 2>So there's nothing like a song, no matter what you

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 2>could say. It's kind of like why American Idol always

0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 2>worked so well because you get instantly emotional from music.

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 2>So we're all making small talk and chatting and getting

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:30.719
<v Speaker 2>to know each other Friday, and then she comes up

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:34.640
<v Speaker 2>and sings, and it instantly set this beautiful emotional tone

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:37.440
<v Speaker 2>for the night. The speeches were amazing, and then you

0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:40.000
<v Speaker 2>know Andrew ending the night on a high by jumping

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 2>on the.

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Tape, and there was just the whole party was just

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 1>a way for everyone to start to get to know

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:46.200
<v Speaker 1>each other, have some great wines, good food. It did

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:47.960
<v Speaker 1>turn into a bit of a dance party. We cranked

0:30:48.000 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 1>up the music.

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I forgot about that. We were dancing around the charcuterie board.

0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:53.080
<v Speaker 1>We did dance around the charcuterie board. It just turned

0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:56.320
<v Speaker 1>into a and I guess wow, I was about to say,

0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:58.880
<v Speaker 1>yours our brother in law.

0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 2>My sister's husband. He's both of our brother in.

0:31:01.760 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Law laws, singular brother laws. So Andrew kind of became

0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:09.160
<v Speaker 1>a DJ. Started playing the bangers, and we started dancing.

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Had an absolute blast until they kicked us out. That

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 1>was really a theme for everything is we got kicked

0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 1>out of every place. And I don't mean in a

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:17.479
<v Speaker 1>bad way. It was just you guys have to go.

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:18.239
<v Speaker 2>We're shutting it down.

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 1>We are closing this joint. And so we close the

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 1>joint again.

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Let people do their thing. Andrew, he is so good.

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:31.960
<v Speaker 2>He's the director of Vibe. He's so good at creating

0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:35.640
<v Speaker 2>really good playlists. He brings dance moves. So he went

0:31:35.720 --> 0:31:39.920
<v Speaker 2>in the back of Laquoya Winery found their like control room.

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 2>We was in there with their security cameras taking over

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 2>their sound system. I'm shocked they didn't kick us out sooner,

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to be honest, but luckily there are friends and we

0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 2>know them. Can we talk about one thing quickly before

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:04.520
<v Speaker 2>our outfits. Oh yeah, Friday night, Yeah, you looked so handsome,

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 2>thank you.

0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I wore a Billy Reed jacket that I bought. We

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 1>bought together when we were in Monterey together previously hosting

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 1>an event for the AIM Gala, and we saw this

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.120
<v Speaker 1>jacket and we just both said, that's the one. So

0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I wore this beautiful Billy Reed kind of jacket vest

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know what, I just.

0:32:25.200 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Realized my dress I wore Friday night we also bought together.

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:32.760
<v Speaker 2>That's right, because we just went. I listen to you, guys,

0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I planned a lot, but I was also I didn't

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:38.280
<v Speaker 2>have a wedding planner at all. We didn't have a

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:42.600
<v Speaker 2>wedding planner at all, not for NAPA, not for Austin.

0:32:43.280 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 2>You're looking at your wedding planners right here, Chris Arison

0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and Lauren Zema, and listen. I come from a place

0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 2>of grateful privilege, like right now, I wouldn't say I

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:57.640
<v Speaker 2>have Like when I was full time at entertainment tonight,

0:32:57.840 --> 0:32:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I could have done this work. Was

0:32:59.880 --> 0:33:03.440
<v Speaker 2>just too demand it. But it's been really fun to

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 2>over the past I don't know, a little less than

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 2>a year spend time on all this and get to

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:11.040
<v Speaker 2>do it together. And part of that was a lot

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 2>of planning, and part of it was a little, you know,

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 2>fly by the seat of your pants kind of stuff.

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm a bit of a procrastinator, and I don't know.

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I went and bought a bunch of dresses and we're online,

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 2>shopped and returned and I hadn't found anything. And the

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:25.440
<v Speaker 2>week before I still didn't have a Friday night dress.

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:28.239
<v Speaker 2>And you said, Babe, let's just go shopping. We went

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:31.560
<v Speaker 2>to our favorite little boutique store in Austin Estilo where

0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 2>we always find stuff, and sure enough, walked in and

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 2>got two white dresses and you.

0:33:36.120 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Tried one on and it was I knew when you

0:33:38.480 --> 0:33:41.200
<v Speaker 1>walked out there was actually another woman trying things on

0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 1>next to you. She stopped, The store owner stopped, and

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I stopped, and we're like, that's it, ballgame, that's the dress.

0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 2>One thing I love so much about you is that

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:53.440
<v Speaker 2>your years of television have made you pretty stylish. And

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I love like we genuinely go shopping together and you

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:58.640
<v Speaker 2>are into it and you will give me yes as

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 2>or nos. And he also knows it looks good in

0:34:00.800 --> 0:34:03.880
<v Speaker 2>photos and stuff so you'll tell me that stuff. And

0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:05.520
<v Speaker 2>it was really fun and I just realized that I

0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>love that. Friday night we both wore stuff that we

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:10.839
<v Speaker 2>picked out together, and Saturday we both wore things that

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:12.160
<v Speaker 2>we picked out on our own.

0:34:12.680 --> 0:34:14.920
<v Speaker 1>So cool because obviously I had no idea. I'd never

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>seen your dress and I.

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Wanted to make sure I didn't see your suit, and.

0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:21.920
<v Speaker 1>My suit was something very special to me. There is

0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>a store, a men's It's one of my favorite words, habitasherie,

0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:28.640
<v Speaker 1>a true habitasherie, and it's old school.

0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:30.279
<v Speaker 2>I think you need to find it is a.

0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Men's clothing shop and when. But there's a difference between

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:35.879
<v Speaker 1>like they have men's clothes and a habitasherie like they

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:39.359
<v Speaker 1>that is when they you go get a suit, you

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:43.240
<v Speaker 1>have a suit made, and the service there is second

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to none. They truly this isn't clear.

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I've made him explain it to me more. I think

0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 2>a habitasherie how I would describe it as like it's custom.

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:53.279
<v Speaker 2>They might even offer you a drink while you're there.

0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:57.040
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of an experience. It's like what Julia Roberts

0:34:57.160 --> 0:34:59.480
<v Speaker 2>wanted and pretty woman, but they wouldn't let.

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Her shop big mistake each So I go to Kin'sman

0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Shop in Dallas, Texas. And this shop has been in

0:35:06.480 --> 0:35:11.320
<v Speaker 1>my family for decades, almost a century. It was owned

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:13.719
<v Speaker 1>by my uncle Ken and it's now run by my

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 1>cousin Corey. And if you ever go to Kin'sman Shop,

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:19.799
<v Speaker 1>asked for Corey greatest service in the world. So I

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 1>brought my brother, your brother, my son Josh, who was

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.680
<v Speaker 1>my best man, and we had suits made. We all

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 1>had our own suits made. We picked the color and

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the fabric and then the inlay and what was monogrammed

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:38.320
<v Speaker 1>on our inside coats, and we made shirts as well

0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:43.680
<v Speaker 1>with everything. Everything to a tea was handmade. And it

0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 1>was a phenomenal experience. It brought us all closer together.

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 1>It turned into a kind of my bachelor party. We

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:50.879
<v Speaker 1>ended up going to a Texas Ranger game that night,

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.920
<v Speaker 1>just the boys, and it was such a great experience.

0:35:54.960 --> 0:35:58.919
<v Speaker 1>So that was my suit from kinsman Shop, custom made

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 1>suit that fit like butter. I love that suit. Black, beautiful,

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:07.319
<v Speaker 1>and I went very It wasn't a tux, but it

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 1>was a beautiful black cut suit with a black tie,

0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:13.239
<v Speaker 1>so it looked like black tie.

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 2>You looked so handsome. I just wanted you in a

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:17.359
<v Speaker 2>black suit. I know you kind of thought about gray,

0:36:17.400 --> 0:36:17.759
<v Speaker 2>but I did.

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Kind of tell you about it.

0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're just so classic in a black suit.

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I was going to go. I was thinking between dark

0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:25.080
<v Speaker 1>dark gray, and when I got there, I was like, Okay,

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 1>this is a no brainer. But the boys all, I

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:29.799
<v Speaker 1>guess my grooms men I would call them, although we

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:32.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't have people stand next to us. We'll talk about that.

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:36.719
<v Speaker 1>But my grooms men all had gray suits, and they

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:39.880
<v Speaker 1>got the same ties, matching suits, matching ties.

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:45.560
<v Speaker 2>So gosh, I feel like we're like running through the

0:36:46.239 --> 0:36:48.520
<v Speaker 2>logistics and you just made me think of something and

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:52.759
<v Speaker 2>I want to just pause and take a moment. Everything

0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:58.280
<v Speaker 2>about both of these weddings was perfect.

0:36:58.680 --> 0:36:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I feel so grateful. I feel so lucky. I am overjoyed.

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:10.560
<v Speaker 2>The day after our wedding and NAPA, I probably cried

0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:13.840
<v Speaker 2>six more times just out of sheer joy. At one point,

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.840
<v Speaker 2>I was showering because we're gonna go to a morning

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:19.759
<v Speaker 2>after the wedding brunch and I'm crying and Chris comes in.

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:22.240
<v Speaker 2>He's like, what's wrong. I'm like, I'm just happy.

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:25.240
<v Speaker 1>We were getting dressed and crying, heaving in the shower

0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and I run it. I was like, oh my god, babe,

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:29.720
<v Speaker 1>what's wrong. What's wrong? You're like, I'm just so happy,

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:31.879
<v Speaker 1>which is great. And I mean, honestly, as I sit

0:37:31.920 --> 0:37:34.760
<v Speaker 1>here now and I look at you, I and my ring,

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:37.279
<v Speaker 1>I feel on my finger and I am I am

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 1>so happy to be your husband. I'm so excited to

0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:44.160
<v Speaker 1>be married. I'm so hopefully we're not just dragging this

0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:46.799
<v Speaker 1>on because I love talking about I love reliving this.

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:49.040
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about it a million times, and that's that's

0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:51.359
<v Speaker 1>how I know this is great because we have so

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:57.560
<v Speaker 1>only great memories from every event. And that morning, Saturday morning,

0:37:57.920 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 1>was our wedding day. What did you do in the morning?

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Because I got up and I went to work out

0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:03.920
<v Speaker 1>with my boys. We went to the gym, got a

0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:05.520
<v Speaker 1>little sweat on. What did you do?

0:38:06.480 --> 0:38:10.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, I need everything get takes women getting ready takes

0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:11.719
<v Speaker 2>a lot longer, so I kind of just woke up,

0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:12.560
<v Speaker 2>got coffee and went.

0:38:12.440 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 1>To go get ready.

0:38:14.560 --> 0:38:16.799
<v Speaker 2>I would have loved to get a work out in well.

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:21.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look, we didn't have bridesmaids and groomsmen in

0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the way of like yeah that they stood up there

0:38:23.480 --> 0:38:26.040
<v Speaker 2>and we both like, like my mom got makeup and hair,

0:38:26.080 --> 0:38:28.719
<v Speaker 2>and my sister did, and and you know, Taylor did,

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:32.879
<v Speaker 2>and so we needed to get everybody ready, and they did.

0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:36.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, my sister and Taylor and your brother and

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Josh did walk down the aisle with us. So so

0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:42.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're just getting ready, is what we were doing.

0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:45.479
<v Speaker 2>And I probably at that point I was a little Okay,

0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:47.839
<v Speaker 2>let's let's we haven't talked about this. Yeah, I'm glad

0:38:47.840 --> 0:38:50.160
<v Speaker 2>you brought that up, So let's set the scene. It

0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:55.560
<v Speaker 2>is our wedding day. And I will say that now

0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:59.200
<v Speaker 2>that both events are done, and they were both so magical,

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:02.280
<v Speaker 2>and I wouldn't have changed a thing. They were different,

0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and each was exactly what we wanted it to be

0:39:04.520 --> 0:39:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and had planned it to be, so I couldn't be happier.

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 2>But I do think NAPA is to me, our anniversary

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:13.319
<v Speaker 2>is when we got married.

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:17.000
<v Speaker 1>October fourteenth will be I think the anniversary.

0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:23.960
<v Speaker 2>NAPA was so much more. Austin was emotional because we

0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:25.759
<v Speaker 2>were with a lot of people we know in love,

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.479
<v Speaker 2>but NAPA was emotional because it was with our very

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 2>closest people, I think, and also it was the first time,

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.279
<v Speaker 2>and so that's what made me think of it, because

0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:35.279
<v Speaker 2>we haven't talked about this when you said how would

0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:38.520
<v Speaker 2>you do that morning? How nervous were you that morning

0:39:38.640 --> 0:39:40.280
<v Speaker 2>or what was going through your mind in the morning

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:41.239
<v Speaker 2>of so.

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:44.800
<v Speaker 1>At peace with everything. Everything had come off so well,

0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and again you and I had a fingerprint on everything

0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:52.240
<v Speaker 1>that was happening, from the gift bags to the hotel.

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 2>To the way we are going to go a big

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:56.919
<v Speaker 2>announcement career change. We're going into wedding planning.

0:39:57.000 --> 0:39:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's it.

0:39:57.800 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 2>It's called let the Journey Begin, Wedding Planners Incorporated. And

0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 2>we're here to start your journey.

0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 1>By the way, good idea.

0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Write that down.

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, write that down, somebody write that down. I was

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:13.360
<v Speaker 1>so at peace, and there was something I really wanted

0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:15.319
<v Speaker 1>to have happened that day, which was be around the

0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:16.840
<v Speaker 1>people I love. You know, you and I were going

0:40:16.920 --> 0:40:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to separate. You were going to the wedding site to

0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:22.240
<v Speaker 1>get ready. I was kind of left to my own devices,

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:23.920
<v Speaker 1>and so I went to work out with my boys,

0:40:24.160 --> 0:40:27.239
<v Speaker 1>and then we got done, got showered up, and I

0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 1>grabbed the kids, Josh and Taylor and my mom and

0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:33.400
<v Speaker 1>we walked down to Model Bakery, one of our favorite

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:35.439
<v Speaker 1>places there, and Napa to get the famous English muff

0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:37.719
<v Speaker 1>and breakfast, and so we walked down there and it

0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:41.040
<v Speaker 1>turned out your Theta sisters were there for Missoo, your

0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 1>sorority sisters, and a few other of our wedding guests

0:40:44.719 --> 0:40:47.720
<v Speaker 1>were there, and so we ended up like like twenty

0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:50.960
<v Speaker 1>of us just sitting around having this breakfast again impromptu

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:52.879
<v Speaker 1>because it's such a small town, one of the things

0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I love about Napa. And then on the way back,

0:40:56.280 --> 0:40:58.480
<v Speaker 1>because it was kind of late in the morning, football

0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:02.800
<v Speaker 1>had started, and so everybody had gathered at one of

0:41:02.840 --> 0:41:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the local saloons. And yes it was called a saloon.

0:41:05.239 --> 0:41:07.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, as much as I wanted every moment with

0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:08.520
<v Speaker 2>all of our friends of the family, that we again,

0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay that I missed the football go on.

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:12.839
<v Speaker 1>So like Michigan was playing, and of course the man

0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:16.760
<v Speaker 1>who officiated our wedding was a big Michigan fan. TCU

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:19.080
<v Speaker 1>was playing, so Josh and I and Taylor we wanted

0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 1>to see TCU play, and so we all just hung out,

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:25.719
<v Speaker 1>had a little bite and then they stayed there and

0:41:25.800 --> 0:41:27.400
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. And that's when I

0:41:27.440 --> 0:41:30.120
<v Speaker 1>headed off to go get ready to head to the

0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:31.680
<v Speaker 1>wedding site as well.

0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:33.080
<v Speaker 2>So you were at peace.

0:41:33.320 --> 0:41:37.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, really, we're you know the I got it back

0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:40.840
<v Speaker 1>up though, because this whole thing came full circle to

0:41:40.880 --> 0:41:43.480
<v Speaker 1>why I was so emotional. I had not looked at

0:41:43.480 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the gift. I left at lunch and I went back

0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:49.879
<v Speaker 1>to our room. You had left by now, and so

0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:52.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm now alone, really for the first time in the day,

0:41:53.560 --> 0:41:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of starts hitting me. And I walk

0:41:55.520 --> 0:41:59.520
<v Speaker 1>in our bedroom at the hotel and there's the gift

0:41:59.560 --> 0:42:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that you left me. There's the picture of your dad,

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and so I'm like, okay, here we go. I grabbed

0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the letter and when I realized that the picture was

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:12.040
<v Speaker 1>not holding up on its own, it was leaning against

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:15.560
<v Speaker 1>a jewelry box, and so I didn't look in the

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:17.799
<v Speaker 1>jewelry box and I sit down on the bed. I

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:21.839
<v Speaker 1>open the letter, and your mom explains to me that

0:42:22.000 --> 0:42:23.960
<v Speaker 1>in this box, oh god, I'm not going to get

0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:33.359
<v Speaker 1>through this, h Okay. In this box are a pair

0:42:33.360 --> 0:42:39.440
<v Speaker 1>of cuff links and they are your father's and she

0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:44.600
<v Speaker 1>has never given anything of your dad's to anybody else before,

0:42:45.280 --> 0:42:47.760
<v Speaker 1>and she gave me a pair of well, your brother

0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:50.719
<v Speaker 1>John has some stuff but outside the family, and so

0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:52.480
<v Speaker 1>she gave me a pair of your dad's cuff links.

0:42:53.040 --> 0:42:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Didn't ask me to wear them, just she wanted me

0:42:55.280 --> 0:43:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to have them and said she loved me. Now you

0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:04.440
<v Speaker 1>see why I didn't make it through my valves and NAPA.

0:43:05.000 --> 0:43:07.680
<v Speaker 1>And she was excited that we were going to spend

0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:09.319
<v Speaker 1>our life together. And she loved the way that I

0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:14.040
<v Speaker 1>loved you. And so I am bawling like a baby,

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:17.760
<v Speaker 1>sitting by myself in bed, losing it just and now

0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm done. And I think that was the impetus for

0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:22.880
<v Speaker 1>being done for the day. I am now an emotional

0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:25.800
<v Speaker 1>basket case. I'm at the tipping point now the rest

0:43:25.800 --> 0:43:28.400
<v Speaker 1>of the afternoon. So your mom just gets me. So

0:43:28.440 --> 0:43:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I shower and I get ready. But your dad's cuff

0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:36.080
<v Speaker 1>links were very much just it hit me. It hit

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:39.320
<v Speaker 1>me that I have expanded my family. I love your mom,

0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:41.319
<v Speaker 1>I love your brother, I love your sister. I love

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the people in their lives. Your sister's husband and your

0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:48.120
<v Speaker 1>brother has an amazing girlfriend, Casey. So it just hit

0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:51.319
<v Speaker 1>me like I'm family and you're my family. And so

0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I got ready and I.

0:43:54.000 --> 0:43:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Think, I, well, what it just means so much to

0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 2>me to say that, because you know I have in

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:05.719
<v Speaker 2>the past, I've I've never been in a relationship where

0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:08.279
<v Speaker 2>someone I mean, obviously it's the the reason why I

0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:11.600
<v Speaker 2>married you, but I just want to spotlight the simple

0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:19.080
<v Speaker 2>fact that you respect and cherish the meaning of becoming family.

0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:22.319
<v Speaker 2>And I love the way you put it that. Yeah,

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:24.359
<v Speaker 2>we're married and our husband and wife, but like you,

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:26.839
<v Speaker 2>I said this in my vows that you love your

0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:30.400
<v Speaker 2>family as you love my family as your own, and

0:44:30.440 --> 0:44:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I feel the same way. And I feel like we're

0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:34.680
<v Speaker 2>really on equal footing about that. And I didn't have

0:44:34.719 --> 0:44:36.120
<v Speaker 2>that before, and it should have been more of a

0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:39.000
<v Speaker 2>red flag for me before. I think I was in

0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:41.879
<v Speaker 2>relationships before where I thought, oh, this will come in time.

0:44:42.160 --> 0:44:45.000
<v Speaker 2>In time, they'll grow to love and appreciate my family.

0:44:45.040 --> 0:44:48.400
<v Speaker 2>It takes time. But you've always respected my family, and

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:54.400
<v Speaker 2>I can see how much you are are grateful that

0:44:54.480 --> 0:44:56.319
<v Speaker 2>my mom like that. My mom gave you that, and

0:44:56.560 --> 0:44:58.960
<v Speaker 2>it is a big deal. My mom had never given anyone.

0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I have some of my dad stuff, my sister and

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:03.560
<v Speaker 2>my brother, no one else had ever gotten anything.

0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:05.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess I buried the lead too. So Louren

0:45:05.760 --> 0:45:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and I are big letter writers. We like to leave

0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 1>each other's notes we like to write letters. I had

0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:16.280
<v Speaker 1>written letters to her all week, and then we wrote

0:45:16.360 --> 0:45:19.440
<v Speaker 1>letters which I didn't know, but she wrote letters to

0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 1>my kids, Josh and Taylor, our kids, Josh and Taylor,

0:45:23.600 --> 0:45:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and gave them to Josh and Tay the day of

0:45:27.640 --> 0:45:32.200
<v Speaker 1>our wedding. I had done the same for your mom, Donna,

0:45:33.239 --> 0:45:36.560
<v Speaker 1>your brother John, and your sister Christina, and so I

0:45:36.640 --> 0:45:39.360
<v Speaker 1>delivered letters to their rooms and slid them under the

0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:42.200
<v Speaker 1>door the day of the wedding because I just wanted

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:46.120
<v Speaker 1>to say thank you and just show my appreciation for

0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:48.279
<v Speaker 1>being welcomed into your family, and just let them know

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:51.200
<v Speaker 1>how excited I am to love you, how excited I

0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:53.000
<v Speaker 1>am to be a part of this family. And so

0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that's how we also started the day, was exchanging letters

0:45:56.560 --> 0:46:00.280
<v Speaker 1>with our loved ones, and then we gave each other letters.

0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't give you yours yet, but you left mine,

0:46:03.520 --> 0:46:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and so after I read your mom's letter. This may

0:46:07.920 --> 0:46:09.919
<v Speaker 1>have been a mistake, but after I read your mom's letter,

0:46:10.239 --> 0:46:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I then opened your letter because you left me a

0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:14.279
<v Speaker 1>note when you left to go get ready, and now

0:46:14.320 --> 0:46:16.759
<v Speaker 1>that I was back from lunch, your letter was sitting

0:46:16.800 --> 0:46:19.479
<v Speaker 1>on the bed, so I went straight from your mom's letter,

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:21.759
<v Speaker 1>and I said, well, I'm already bawling, I might as

0:46:21.800 --> 0:46:24.399
<v Speaker 1>well just keep going. And so then I opened your letter.

0:46:25.080 --> 0:46:28.160
<v Speaker 1>There were other letters that we left each other, but you, yeah,

0:46:28.160 --> 0:46:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you left one letter in my suit bag, and I,

0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:33.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, like, how there. You know, we traveled, and

0:46:33.040 --> 0:46:35.920
<v Speaker 1>so I put my suit in a little suit bag,

0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:39.399
<v Speaker 1>a little cloth thing that you zip up, garment bag

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:42.759
<v Speaker 1>if you will, and I pulled it off and I

0:46:42.800 --> 0:46:46.200
<v Speaker 1>just threw it on the closet floor and I did

0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:48.839
<v Speaker 1>not realize that you had left a letter in there.

0:46:49.760 --> 0:46:52.560
<v Speaker 1>And it wasn't until that day when I'm like, you know,

0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'm not going to get dressed here. I'll

0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:57.000
<v Speaker 1>get dressed at the wedding site. So you know, I'm

0:46:57.000 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 1>going to put everything back in the garment bag. And

0:46:59.040 --> 0:47:00.439
<v Speaker 1>so I picked it up and I'm like, this feels

0:47:00.440 --> 0:47:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a little heavy, it's weird. And I reached in there.

0:47:03.040 --> 0:47:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my god, there's your letter was

0:47:05.360 --> 0:47:07.120
<v Speaker 1>in there. I would have missed it.

0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, that was fate because I was trying to surprise

0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you with it, and I just assumed you would be

0:47:12.920 --> 0:47:16.680
<v Speaker 2>taking the suit house, so, okay, learn more about suits.

0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:21.440
<v Speaker 1>So then it was time to head to the wedding

0:47:23.280 --> 0:47:26.800
