I really like, 129 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: for me, romance is something important to me. You're not 130 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 2: I'm not building a picnic, but intentionality figuring out if 131 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 2: you're on the same page and if you are committing 132 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 2: to it and doing it well, I think is one 133 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: of the most romantic gestures. So you had talked about 134 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: this was like shocking at the time, but not necessarily 135 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: something you were like, not something that like popped up 136 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: and you're like, oh my gosh, I don't know this person, 137 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 2: like this is this this could go really good or 138 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: really bad. You you had kind of walked into that phase. 139 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, we were solemn with each other and we were 140 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 4: planning on. 141 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 6: Building our family. 142 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 4: I just don't think we thought it would happen as 143 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 4: quickly as it did. But I mean, really like going 144 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 4: through that whole process, Miles really just taught me about 145 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 4: I mean he just kept saying like just trust me, 146 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 4: like have faith in us, like like we can do this. 147 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 4: I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, because I was like 148 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 4: all over the place, and he really just like tethered 149 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 4: me and pulled me in and just made me feel 150 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 4: really safe and strong, and you know, I kind of 151 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 4: worked that into our first bouts, just how much it 152 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 4: meant to just have a good man that was raised 153 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 4: very very well to build my life with. And for me, 154 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: like I didn't really have the healthiest relationships like in 155 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 4: my past, and so when you are dating someone that's new, 156 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 4: like you sometimes don't really recognize it.

I think 218 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 8: this is a few years ago, but yeah, I haven't. 219 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 8: I didn't really follow The Bachelor, so I Christal was. 220 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 8: I think it was a good thing in the start 221 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 8: of our relationship because I didn't have that that background 222 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 8: to mess up our you know, authentic connection, and we've 223 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 8: been set up through a friend and so okay for me, 224 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 8: there really none of that kind of filtered in until uh, 225 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 8: we were talking about and you know, when we got 226 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 8: a little more serious, when she was talking about announcing it. 227 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 8: That's when kind of the reality of like this is 228 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 8: a big deal, like Crystal is, you know, nervous to 229 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 8: announce it. That's when it kind of started to become 230 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 8: a bigger deal. And I think I've largely avoided most 231 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 8: of the negative, I guess or more positive aspects of 232 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 8: it because I'm not very involved on social media, but 233 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 8: starting to get a little bit more involved. 234 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 2: I think the positive it can even be a negative, 235 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: like just getting it brought up is odd, no matter 236 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: if it's even coming from a good place. It's it's 237 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: weird to think of the person that you love and 238 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 2: that you're committed to, and the person you know in 239 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: your love story that you know, there's a lot of 240 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 2: grit in depth there, like you guys have really had 241 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 2: to come together as a couple sooner and also stronger 242 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: than most have to in their relationship, and so then 243 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 2: to hold you know, Crystal so tightly, and then also 244 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 2: to just even the positive of like, oh, Miles, you're 245 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: so much better than the last like that's just not 246 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: a great comment, but you get it, and then you 247 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: have to just kind of like be like, all right, 248 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 2: I get it, I'm done, I'll move on.
