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

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Back with my wife, Lauren Zema, and it's wedding day.

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:16.439
<v Speaker 1>This is where we pick up. It is our wedding day,

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's time to head to the wedding site and

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.079
<v Speaker 1>get ready. I've just read your letter. Well, it was

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>a card, a card, You're right, it was a card

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>that I found.

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 2>In my don You remember what it said? Or were

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>you too?

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I kept it. I kept everything. I've kept all your

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I cape all of Lauren's notes, I mean virtually all

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the notes. Even she leaves these little silly post its

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>around and I try to keep all I probably if

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>most of them I keep over the five years.

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I keep all of yours too. Actually, I've never asked

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 2>you this. Were you a note writer before me? Or

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>is this something that because I love to leave people notes.

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>I like to even like if my mom's in town,

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 2>already here a note, slip it under a door in

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>the morning or something.

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>You're more of a note writer and leaver than I was.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 1>I am a letter writer. That's something that was. I

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>mean not to plug it, but I wrote the book

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>The Perfect Letter because it was based on my grandfather

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Alfred Salinger who kind of taught us the art of

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>writing letters. And it was just impressed upon us at

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 1>an early age. If you have to say something to somebody,

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>write a letter, take the time to write something out,

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and it just meant the world to me. And so

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I've always written letters. My dad did that too. My

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>dad wrote me letters. My brother wrote me letters growing up.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I have them. My grandfather did. So They've just meant

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the world to me. And so I've tried to do

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>that with my kids. For each big event and graduations,

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I write them long letters.

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 2>You know what, You've influenced me in that way because

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I've become more of like a long note writer or

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe letter But I like the surprise element of it,

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>like I like to.

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I love finding your notes around.

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I hide them in places and I hit a few

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>in your bag when you went to Pebble Beach out

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 2>of the wedding week, and she.

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.559
<v Speaker 1>There was one of my dob kit. And what's funny

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>is I usually will text her when I get them,

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and I feel dumb sometimes because it's three days later,

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, oh, son of a God.

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>And so we we've left each other a lot of

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>notes and a lot of letters that.

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>We so do you. I'm not going to be offended. No, no,

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I do you remember anything in that note or was

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>it too sort of.

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>No that that day I have a day I remember

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>vividly obviously your mom's letter, obviously about your dad and

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the cuff links, and then I read yours and I

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>don't remember anything specific about it. Right now, I have it.

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I have all of them.

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'll tell you. I'll give you that. So what

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.239
<v Speaker 2>I really wanted to convey with you it was a card,

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 2>and now I can't remember the hypocrisy, what the you

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>know what already came printed on the card, but it

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>was something about time and love. And so the wedding

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.679
<v Speaker 2>gift that I gave to you was this watch. And

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Chris wore the watch. It's this blue watch, and I

0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 2>just love it because you know, he's got these blue

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 2>eyes and blue just is this color. It makes it pop.

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.799
<v Speaker 2>But I wanted to surprise you with that watch because

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>he I know you love watches. But b and this

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>is what I wanted the card to convey is you

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>are my forever for all time. And so I don't know,

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I've never I hate saying this because I've been married before,

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and I don't mean to demean my first marriage, but

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>it's just that when you like, really, I think I

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>really I would my younger self. She didn't mean to,

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>but she didn't fully understand and fully grasp the foreverness

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 2>of marriage. I think you're young and you're excited, and

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 2>you you want to get it right, but you don't

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>really get it.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>You've lived a little.

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Life, and then you suddenly and you've been through more

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.839
<v Speaker 2>struggle and you kind of understand that more. And that's

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 2>why what I wanted to say to you in the

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>card was I wanted the card to explain that the

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>reason I gave you the watch was because my present

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>in my future are.

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>You in time? And it was no, And it was that.

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>So I got back in that Omega, beautiful Omega box.

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>They put them in these beautiful pine boxes, and so

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I was.

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Sitting there very heavy. My whole care Can I tell I?

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Can I light the moon and talk about my carry

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 2>on suitcase for a minute, my carry on suitcase on

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.719
<v Speaker 2>the way to the wedding. Now, I will say I

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 2>did encourage you to go to Bubble Beach, but it

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 2>meant that Chris. He's got like his golf clubs and

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 2>he's leaving days earlier. So I'm at home and I

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 2>had to take a lot of wedding stuff. I had

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 2>to take my dress. I had to take a few

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 2>things of yours that I'm forgetting now.

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Mainly it was all the jewelry.

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, so that was the carry on. So in

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 2>my carry on and I checked my dress, which felt risky,

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>but I knew. I'm like, if American loses it, I'm

0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.960

<v Speaker 2>bag entirely for my dress. But I've seen people like

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.520

<v Speaker 2>watches of my carry on. I also have like our

0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>rings in my carry on, both of our wedding bands, yes,

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>which we both got both at M Robinson. They I

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>have a I guess we can reveal it now. I

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 2>have a custom designed by them. It's two rows of

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>pave diamonds on this gorgeous fourteen carrot white gold. I

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>think I could be wrong, and you have this beautiful

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>gold band.

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was not sure I was going to do gold,

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and I chose this. It's a little bit would you say,

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>not rustic, but it's a little bit. I think it's

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>moderssed distressed. It's a little stressed gold and.

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of a brushed gold with a more glossy yeah.

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>So it has a texture to it. It is a beautiful

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>texture to it. And one thing I can also tell

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>you is inside what I had etched inside, which was

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>something very important to me. My grandfather again, Alfred Salinger,

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 1>who is one of the idols and uh you know,

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the patriarch of our family. His ring was a lover's knot,

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and as each child got married, we all had lovers

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>not as our rings in honor of our grandfather. And

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>so inside this ring I etched a lover's not, just

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>as a nod to my grandfather, who means so much

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 1>to me. God rest his soul.

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how they engraved it, but they.

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Didn't, I know they and they had to send it

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>out to a special person who would engrave it who.

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how they do that. It makes no

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>sense to me, but the the art is so it's

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>spot on, it's perfect. And again it's something that only

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I will know about in you and we'll see. But

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just I just I mean, but it's like no

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.719
<v Speaker 1>one will see it. It's on my hand, but it's

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.439
<v Speaker 1>just it's something I the ring.

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I well, now we can share. You didn't

0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 2>think you were gonna know be a gold guy, and

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 2>I will say I kind of knew it on this one,

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and I had to let you come to the conclusion

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.319
<v Speaker 2>on your we went ring shopping. Chris kept saying he

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 2>wasn't gonna pick gold, but I kept thinking, of my mind,

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Chris is such a classic guy. He needs a gold

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 2>wedding ring. I think the problem is you were sort

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.599
<v Speaker 2>of picturing that very dated gold. You need it in

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>a more modern gold. But you kept trying on these

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 2>silver rings, and what was happening.

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I tried platinum, I tried graphite, I tried silver, I've tried,

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I tried everything. And I tried to be funky. I know,

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like a crazy funky hipster, so I knew

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of out. I wanted to be somewhat traditional.

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>But and again, it's like a dress it's like a suit.

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like anything to me when I know, I know,

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like marrying you. When I know I know. And

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I put this ring on and I'm done. I'm not

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 1>one that if I walk into a house or if

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm buying a car, as soon as I see it,

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to try fourteen more on. I'm good.

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I know my decision. I'm pretty firm believer in my gut.

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 1>And so I slipped this on and I was like,

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>oh damn, Like she's right. I love this gold ring

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>so much. And everybody, because I had kind of made

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the announcement to the jewelers at a Robinson as well

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>that I'm probably not going to get a gold so

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.679
<v Speaker 1>we'll just do those later. Let's let's try this stuff.

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>And when I put the gold on, everybody laughed at

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>me because I they could tell I was just looking

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>at it and I didn't want to love it, and

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I did, and so I'm so happy and I new

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.719
<v Speaker 1>classic man, you, and so I was excited. But then

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't you know, I didn't get a chance to

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:33.839
<v Speaker 1>see it again because you went and picked him money.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So in my carry on two Omega watches. Yeah,

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>and I'll just go ahead and give the people the numbers,

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 2>because that's what's part of the intensity of this is

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 2>how much money I had in my carry on. Two

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Omega watches were well into the tens of thousands of

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>dollars at this point.

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The one I borrowed, I'll just say, because I

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 1>did not purchase it, they loaned it to me for

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the wedding was a thirty seven thousand dollars watch, Okay, So.

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even realize it was that much. Wow, Okay,

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I was. I was olden onto this everybody. So probably

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 2>we're we're over forty thousand dollars in watches. Add in

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 2>our rings. That's taken us, you know, almost into fifty probably.

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Then I had in the carry on earrings. I borrowed

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 2>earrings from m Robinson and Fine Jewelers that were these

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:24.199
<v Speaker 2>gorgeous drop diamond earrings, custom designs by them, and those

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 2>were worth forty five thousand dollars. So I guess I'm

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>not great at math.

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 1>We're into the six figures were well, you said, over one.

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Hundred thousand dollars worth of jewelry in my carry on.

0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 2>And this wasn't like some red carpet situation where I

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 2>had a security detail with me. I'm just di y bride.

0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.559
<v Speaker 2>You had your mom, Donna, Well, Donna is a scary lady,

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 2>chures to be. That's a good point. I should have

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 2>felt safer. I did. I told her it was in there,

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:49.559
<v Speaker 2>and if I had to go to the bathroom, I

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>either took the carry on with ears and Mom she was, oh,

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not leaving it, like okay, I mean she was

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 2>sitting on the carry on. Ye, So listen, and you know,

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I will say airports are pretty safe. It's telling people

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 2>get their carry anstone all the time. But I had

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 2>one hundred grand of stuff in my carry on. It

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 2>was so heavy. So that was what I brought to NAPA,

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 2>because you had to carry your golf clubspell.

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 1>No, I didn't I ship sticks to book. I did

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>not have them. I shipped them back because I didn't

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>want to have them. So we have all this, and

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>so we exchange our letters. I didn't want to give

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you mine until I wanted you to read it there,

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and I wasn't sure how to hide that or do it.

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 1>So what I did is Josh and Taylor, our kids,

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>rode with me to the wedding site, which we had

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>at this at a private house there in Napa Valley,

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and you were getting ready there at the house, and

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>so I had Taylor who came up and spent like

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.839
<v Speaker 1>the last hour or so with you. I said, hey,

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 1>will you take this to LZ And so she brought

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>you my letter so you didn't get it for you know,

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>there's like two hours before game time is when you

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>got my letter, which was wonderful and it was it

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>was simple. It was just telling you how much I

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 1>loved you.

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you'd put a lot. You'd put a

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 2>lot into each letter up to that day. I actually

0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 2>that final day, I was glad you didn't like throw

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.680
<v Speaker 2>a ton at me in that one, because I all

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 2>right in my makeup, boll.

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I waited. So what I did was I wrote you

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>all those letters before I went to Pebble Beach, and

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I numbered them and gave you the date so you

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>would open them on a specific day. And okay, I've

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 1>never asked you this, honestly. Did you open them one

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>at a time on each day or did you open

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>them all at once? Okay? Because she wanted what she

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 1>was instructed to do was wait and open the morning

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 1>of each day.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to experience it all like that. I wasn't

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>like a little kid on Christmas morning opening every present

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to, I really wanted, and that was a

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 2>big part of what we wanted to do in NAPA

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 2>again time.

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, and I did pre write your letter on wedding

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>day because I didn't want to write that days before.

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I wanted because I knew I was going to be emotional.

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.079
<v Speaker 1>I knew I would feel things and go through things

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 1>with you and your family. So I wrote that the

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>day before because I wanted to express us being a

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.680
<v Speaker 1>NAPA together and those feelings, and so I waited to

0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>handwrite that one.

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I've kept all of them, and I I do plan

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to reread them because again, you're kind of I mean,

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.719
<v Speaker 2>I teared up, but I was glad it wasn't a

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>big long letter because hey, tip out there, think about

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 2>when the bride's reading it. My makeup was fully done.

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.440
<v Speaker 2>If I'd really sobbed, it would have been bad. So hey,

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 2>way to produce your.

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Wedding pal, and so we produced every set.

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 2>I do want to go back to something really quick. Yes,

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I asked you if you felt nervous the day of

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 2>you said no, you felt at peace. I was nervous

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 2>for it to go well, not nervous about marrying you.

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 2>And I actually had a really big realization And it's

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>a piece of advice I wish I could give my

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:45.040
<v Speaker 2>younger self, and it's that I don't think cold feet

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 2>is a real thing. I don't think cold feet is

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 2>something that's normal, I mean, or something that should be ignored.

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh it's just cold feet. Yea cold feet is a

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 2>red flag. And I don't think the day of your

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 2>wedding you should be super stressed and feeling super anxious,

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 2>like if you don't feel like I think what happens

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>is people might be really stressed out and they think, oh,

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 2>it's just the stress of a wedding. It's the roller

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 2>coaster of emotion. It's all the planning. But the truth is,

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:21.400
<v Speaker 2>if you don't feel at peace that day, if you

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 2>don't feel this is awesome, and if you don't feel

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 2>like you know what, yeah, I have like the I

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 2>think the entire wedding planning process, you should feel like, great,

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna throw a party, but I would marry this

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 2>person in my living room.

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Rid you should the nerve should be in a good way,

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that you're nervous about the great things ahead and wanting

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>things to go well, not nervous. Oh my god, am

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I about to make the biggest mistake of my life?

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 2>And as much as as much well certainly not that. Yeah,

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:51.640
<v Speaker 2>that's what I mean. Like but people say, oh, it's

0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 2>just cold feet. Cold feet is a red flag, and

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. Of course, I didn't feel any of that,

0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>and I felt nervous, but like you know, it's also

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 2>important to I think, and I'm I'm not I made

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 2>this mistake before. You shouldn't get too wrapped up in

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.800
<v Speaker 2>the party. I felt so good about the people we

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 2>had in Napa, the wine, the food, the beautiful setting.

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought we're good to go. And I kept saying

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I could spill red wine down my wedding dress right

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 2>now and I wouldn't care. The irony of that is

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 2>that we did spill some makeup on my wedding dress.

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, that story, Oh yeah, I know, I know.

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 1>You told me it was like minutes before.

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 2>You were so funny, and I didn't freak out. It

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 2>wasn't upset, but it just almost felt like God said,

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 2>you asked I were getting ready we are about to

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 2>go and walk down the aisle and my sister goes,

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 2>don't freak out, like what look down down the front

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 2>of my wedding dress is I think foundation or concealer.

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea how it got there, no clue.

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Then it's the decision of do we try to wipe

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 2>it off? If we do well, that make it worse. Right,

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 2>And luckily my mom, thank you, Donna Zema had brought

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>a little stain remover wipe because hey, I didn't have

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 2>a wedding planner, and that is something I forgot. Wedding

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 2>planner probably would have remembered.

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Rule number one, by the way, you should always have

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the stain remover.

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that was bad. That was my bad, but Donna

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 2>just dabbed at it. We hit it with a blow

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 2>dryer and it was a little bit there, but it

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.679
<v Speaker 2>was fine. And yeah, so I did spill something down

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 2>in the front of my wedding dress, but I didn't care.

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I was just happy to marry you.

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.399
<v Speaker 1>You were so calm, so cool the whole week and

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>leading up to it. It was so chill and so

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>relaxed because we just it was fun. Everything about it

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 1>was fun. And again I think it's where we are

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.959
<v Speaker 1>at our station in life. And what I mean by

0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.199
<v Speaker 1>that is our age and our experience and knowing what

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.239
<v Speaker 1>to appreciate, knowing what to care about. It's not like

0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you said earlier about demeaning and negating your earlier relationship.

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 1>You're not and I'm not either. It's I was a

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.919
<v Speaker 1>different man. It's on me. I was a different human

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>being then. Yeah, I was a kid, and so I

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 1>just enjoyed it. I knew exactly what I wanted out

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 1>of that day, which was spend some time with my kids,

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.440
<v Speaker 1>spend some time with my my friends, and of course

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>my parents were there, and then before the hour before

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 1>we got there are officiant, our good friend Mike Levitt,

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 1>who is just a very dear friend of ours. If

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 1>people are wondering who officiated or a wedding and why

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Mike Levitt is his name, he's now People Magazine famous,

0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 1>but he's not of this world. He's not an entertainment

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 1>in finance. The reason he was the unknown financi year,

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:43.400
<v Speaker 1>he's not anymore.

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.159
<v Speaker 2>The reason we asked Mike to officiate is he is.

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 2>He has the biggest heart. He is in his world.

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>He's spoken at hundreds of events. He's funny, he's he's

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.120
<v Speaker 2>a big lover. He just and he nailed it. He

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he is our officiant cride several times.

0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Yes and he so we asked him because aa he

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and his wife, Nadine, the opera singer, are incredibly good

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 1>friends of mine. I met them post my divorce and

0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.920
<v Speaker 1>they became very very close to me and really took

0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>me in and became counsel, friends, caretaker. It was many

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 1>many different hats that they wore, and we've taken care

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.719
<v Speaker 1>of each other. And then they were the first people

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that Lauren met. She's there their yeah, the first friends

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that I introduced you to. And we ended up going

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to Cobbo with and.

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 2>So and I think that I've said this before, but

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 2>that helped me fall in love with you. Was it

0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.160
<v Speaker 2>made me like you even more that when I started

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 2>to meet your friends and see what kind of people

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you surrounded yourself with, and they're wonderful.

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 1>And so that was a pretty easy choice for both

0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>of us. If we had said, Okay, who do you

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 1>want to officiate on three one two three, we both

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 1>would have said Mike Levitt that was a slam dunk.

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 1>And so but I I knew that I wanted to

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>spend the hour before with Mike, my dad, my brother,

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.520
<v Speaker 1>your brother, and my best man, my son. That's who

0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.439
<v Speaker 1>I just We hung out down in the wine cellar.

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:13.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, we weren't drinking anything. We didn't do any

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 1>shots or anything like that. It wasn't drink wine. We

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 1>just chilled. We listened to a little music, had some

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 1>country music on. Just very That's the way I like

0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 1>to be before a show as well. Just very chill,

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 1>very calm.

0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.199
<v Speaker 2>He has made the joke a few times that he

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.679
<v Speaker 2>produced our wedding, and he did. I didn't in a

0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 2>good way. I mean, listen, the guy's done a few weddings,

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 2>put a few on TV. So he's there like we did.

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:37.360
<v Speaker 2>We did do a walk through of the venue, even

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 2>though we didn't do a rehearsal. And he's there and

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 2>he's like, okay, so the light at this time, let

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.240
<v Speaker 2>me see whose eyes it's going to be at He's like, okay, babe,

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:46.400
<v Speaker 2>you stand on this time we get married because I'm

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.159
<v Speaker 2>better at dealing with the sun in my eyes at

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 2>this So we'll think about that, and Okay, where's Mike

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:53.880
<v Speaker 2>going to be and how why does this ile need

0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 2>to be for the I mean, really really helpful.

0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I know this because here's the thing. I know. I'm

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 1>a little aal retentive when it comes to that stuff.

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 1>And I overproduced because I know what I wanted to

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 1>look like and I know how it's it's going to

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 1>look great, and if I don't do it and then

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't look great, I'm like, if I had just

0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 1>said something, if I had just so, it's really for

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>me and my own neuroses if I just take care

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:21.159
<v Speaker 1>of it and produce it ahead of time. And so

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that's how I That's how I spent the hour leading

0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>up to and then our wonderful assistant who's worked for

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.920
<v Speaker 1>me for many years, Karen, came down and said, it's showtime.

0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Lauren's ready, let's go.

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I need to tell you a little bit more about

0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the hour before for me. Okay, So, well, first of all,

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I was nervous, But what would you guess I was

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:44.400
<v Speaker 2>most nervous about.

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Just your dress? I would think your dress.

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I was most nervous that you would think I looked beautiful.

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Really, yeah, there's no way you weren't going to look beautiful.

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, but you want that moment, you know, like we

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 2>did decide not to do a first look. We wanted

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:06.600
<v Speaker 2>to be walked down the aisle.

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that was really important. That's a good note because

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of people do that first look

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and our photographer asked us if we wanted to do that,

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted the first look to be in front

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of everybody at that moment walking down the aisle.

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:20.399
<v Speaker 2>That's why I was so nerd.

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>That was important to me.

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 2>So that's so much pressure, which I'm not upset about it,

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 2>but I was so worried about Oh, I.

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Didn't know I put pressure on you in that. Huh.

0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for letting me do that, because that was a

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>me thing I wanted. I didn't want it first. I

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:33.879
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to cheat.

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Well I wanted it too, but it but when you

0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 2>think about it, like every here's what people want from

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 2>the groom. They want to see that he's emotional. But

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.119
<v Speaker 2>how does the groom get emotional dependent on how the

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 2>bride looks. So I was and maybe I'm over simplifying

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 2>that and making it too much about the aesthetic. I

0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:56.360
<v Speaker 2>guess you love me and you would have been emotional

0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 2>no matter what. But I wanted to be so beautiful

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.080
<v Speaker 2>for you, you know, and I was so look like

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:04.879
<v Speaker 2>I said, we shopped together all the time. Usually we

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:06.680
<v Speaker 2>talk about we're going to wear before an event, an

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.880
<v Speaker 2>event we're not Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber, who apparently

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 2>don't talk about she recently said what they were two events,

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 2>but we coordinate. But you'd never seen the stress, and

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:17.920
<v Speaker 2>you didn't know how I was going to do my hair.

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.159
<v Speaker 2>And I was very worried about how I was going

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.160
<v Speaker 2>to do my makeup that day and how it would

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>look and how it would be me but elevated and special.

0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:28.920
<v Speaker 2>So that was the most nervous, nerve wracking thing.

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:30.919
<v Speaker 1>Can I and I just want to cut to the chase.

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Can I talk about when I saw you? So it's

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>game time and we did a small it was small ceremony. Again,

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 1>there's like forty something people there, and we did do

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a you know, a procession where

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:47.159
<v Speaker 1>we walked in and I, you know, Mike walked in

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 1>first and took his place. I walked in second, and

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I tried to slow myself down. It went so fast

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I was I was halfway down the aisle and it

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.520
<v Speaker 1>was a very short aisle, but you know. I still

0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 1>just was like, oh crap, stop man, look at your friends,

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:00.639
<v Speaker 1>look at everybody. So I tried to take it in.

0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny because I'm really good at that in

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 1>television hosting, and I know to slow the world down.

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:09.440
<v Speaker 1>When I'm hosting, I have control over that. I lost control.

0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I lost control of time, and I don't lose control

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 1>of time when I'm hosting. I have complete.

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 2>Control of time. Ever, at any moment in life. Sometimes

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I wish he would lose control of time.

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 1>And I blame my job, because my entire job since

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I was in college was TV, getting in, getting out

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:30.280
<v Speaker 1>on time, commercial breaks, hitting yeah, ins and outs, and

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 1>so I've always it's just been beat into me. And

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:36.880
<v Speaker 1>so I can feel. I can feel ten seconds, thirty seconds,

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:39.040
<v Speaker 1>forty five seconds, or a minute in my head. I

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:41.920
<v Speaker 1>can talk for exactly that amount of time and stop,

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's a beautiful gift that directors love. But I

0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:49.399
<v Speaker 1>lost control of time. I just I couldn't control it,

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:52.640
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to slow everything down and I couldn't.

0:24:52.680 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 1>For the first time of my life. And I got

0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.439
<v Speaker 1>to the front and I saw your mom, and I

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 1>saw my kids, I saw my dad, my mom, and

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I lost it. You weren't there yet. I start bawling.

0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:07.159
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know you.

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Cry. Yeah, I didn't even get to the wedding. I

0:25:09.640 --> 0:25:11.919
<v Speaker 1>didn't get to the wedding. And I start crying. I

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:14.159
<v Speaker 1>luckily I have a kerchief in my pocket, and I

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:16.119
<v Speaker 1>start dabbing my tears and I'm like, and I'm just

0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:19.439
<v Speaker 1>thinking to myself. I was really scared about my vows

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:22.399
<v Speaker 1>getting through the valves, and I thought to myself, oh,

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm dead. I didn't even see you, and I'm losing it.

0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:28.159
<v Speaker 1>There's no way I'm going to make it through this.

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 1>So then everybody starts scattering, so I know it's time,

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and the pianist starts playing in the piano. And the

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 1>door was open, and it was opened in a way

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 1>where it reflected back up where you were standing. So

0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>for three seconds I saw you walk across the reflection

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 1>of the door. That was my first glimpse of you,

0:25:53.080 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't expect it because it was just a reflection.

0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:58.879
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know it was coming, and it took my

0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 1>breath away. I saw this glimpse of this strapless dress

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and then she was gone. And so it was the

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 1>most beautiful romantic. If I was a movie producer, this

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 1>is what I would have produced this moment. Feel free

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 1>to use this in a rom com if you want.

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:16.919
<v Speaker 1>But I saw this three second glimpse of you, and

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 1>then you disappeared for another minute because you were getting ready,

0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:24.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you came around the corner and you walked

0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>down this It was probably it's probably about thirty yards

0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:33.240
<v Speaker 1>of a walk into this private house where we held

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the ceremony, and so I just got this really long

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:38.639
<v Speaker 1>glimpse of you and your brother, your brother John walked

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you down the aisle, and I just I couldn't could

0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't fully see you though

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I could kind of see the dress, but you're still

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:52.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty far away, but I saw your hair was kind

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:55.679
<v Speaker 1>of up, and your veil, and it was just a

0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>very simple, clean neck, no jewelry, because you have a

0:26:59.320 --> 0:27:01.880
<v Speaker 1>beautiful neck and a beautiful face, and so it accentuated

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:04.879
<v Speaker 1>your beautiful face and your jaw and your angles, and

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you just you looked radiant. You were glowing, and I

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 1>looked like you weren't even walking. It looked like you

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:17.520
<v Speaker 1>were just floating towards me. And you stopped at the

0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:19.359
<v Speaker 1>top of the eye. When you came in, your brother

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 1>took his seat and you stopped for a second, and

0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that's when I could really see you, because at this

0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 1>point you're about fifty feet away from me, and you

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 1>started walking down the aisle and I I was bawling.

0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I lost it. I couldn't take it. You were just

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:42.600
<v Speaker 1>such a vision, and you looked at me. We started crying.

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 1>You were I think if I could speak for you,

0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you take over. I think you also tried

0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to slow it down and couldn't.

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's so funny sometimes we It's like you'll say

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 2>something I was just about to say, which I don't

0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:00.200
<v Speaker 2>know if that means we're meant for each other. We're

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>just starting to turn into the same person, as married

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:06.600
<v Speaker 2>people say happens. But I so, my brother walked me

0:28:06.600 --> 0:28:10.040
<v Speaker 2>halfway down the aisle and then he went and sat,

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:13.199
<v Speaker 2>and I wanted to walk the next half myself, in

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 2>part because I'm an independent person and in part because

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:19.199
<v Speaker 2>I just really a huge part of it was I

0:28:19.240 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 2>really wanted this moment just for me and you, and

0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I tried to take a moment and take it in

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 2>and I did, And yet it's still.

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 1>What's funny is you don't remember doing it. You go,

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I wish I had slowed down, And then I go, babe,

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:36.280
<v Speaker 1>you did, and you saw the video later and you go, oh,

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>that's right, I did stop. You didn't even remember at

0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the time. You did not remember you stopped.

0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Now I remember pausing because I remember stopping taking a breath,

0:28:45.720 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 2>and yet I still it feels I mean, I was

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:53.320
<v Speaker 2>stone cold, sober walking on the aisle, and it almost

0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 2>feels like you're drunk or something. Yeah, Like, I can't remember.

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 2>This wasn't long ago, so I can't remember whose faces

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I saw as I walked down the aisle. I was trying,

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 2>and you're trying to kind of glance at your friends

0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:10.120
<v Speaker 2>and family, but I was also I did want to

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:12.560
<v Speaker 2>just hone in on you. I was trying to just

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:15.160
<v Speaker 2>connect with you and have this moment for you and I,

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 2>this moment we'd produced and build up to so much.

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 2>And the moment was perfect. I mean I was tearing up.

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 2>You looked so handsome, The light was beautiful. It had

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 2>been a bit of a cloudy morning, and I do

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 2>think my dad was smiling down on us and making

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 2>sure our day was perfect. Because the clouds sort of

0:29:33.320 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 2>parted and the sun was like.

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 1>I call them Jesus clouds. I don't know if anyone

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:39.160
<v Speaker 1>else calls them that. You know, when you have those

0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:41.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of religious paintings and you get the rays, the

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:44.080
<v Speaker 1>beautiful rays of light, the pinks, and yeah, I call

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 1>them the Jesus clouds that kind of hit the horizon

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's what was that broke and started shining through

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>as we started the ceremony at this house and again

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I just felt like, your Dad is shining down on us,

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was I had the benefit, and we'll get

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to the Austin wedding. We manufactured and produced the Austin

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:06.200
<v Speaker 1>wedding completely different, but this was very traditional, and I

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like the benefit of being able to stand there and

0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I get to watch it all unfold. I get to

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:12.360
<v Speaker 1>see you walk in, I get to see everybody's faces.

0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm staring at my kids, I'm staring at your mom

0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and everybody just it was so emotional for everybody. And

0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>again it was just the two of us standing up

0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>there with our efficiant Mike, the kids, and our groomsmen

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and bridesmaids were sitting in the front row of family,

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 1>and so we just wanted a very simple, elegant look

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:33.960
<v Speaker 1>to the wedding, and there wasn't a lot of pomp

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and circumstance. That was it.

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 2>So I'm there, You're there standing in front of me. Yeah,

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:44.320
<v Speaker 2>what was at that point? Were you nervous?

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:47.160
<v Speaker 1>You know? And she didn't do the veil over the face.

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>It was clean, you know, she didn't have to lift

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the veil. And I remember I kind of kissed you

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:56.360
<v Speaker 1>on the cheek and said I love you, and we

0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 1>were both kind of shaking, and.

0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I was so happy. Yeah, I was so overjoyed. I

0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:07.880
<v Speaker 2>if I thought I felt at peace before we got married,

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:13.600
<v Speaker 2>standing there looking at you, I just felt so calm.

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:16.240
<v Speaker 2>That really was when I felt like, okay, now I

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:16.960
<v Speaker 2>can take this in.

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Well. I always find comfort in your eyes anyway. Like

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I look at you, and when I look at you,

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Okay, we're good. I know we'll always get

0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 1>through everything together. We've already been through some trials and

0:31:27.360 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 1>tribulations in our life, and so I'm like, when I

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 1>look at you, I'm like, we're good. Yeah, And so

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I just felt I again, I was just trying to

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>slow the world down. Mike was about to start speaking

0:31:38.320 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and he did, and he did a beautiful job.

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:43.160
<v Speaker 2>You're right. It was that we were together. That was

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 2>when I felt, I'm like, okay, now we're in this together.

0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Now we're not.

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 1>But I wanted to look at you because it was

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 1>about us. Wanted to connect with you, but I also

0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 1>wanted to look around, like I wanted to look at

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>our friends. I wanted to, you know, look at our

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 1>parents and family, and so that was it was interesting.

0:31:58.240 --> 0:32:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I was just racing through my head and I didn't

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 1>have those thoughts. Oddly, in my first wedding. It wasn't

0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>like that. I don't remember that. I guess I was

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.960
<v Speaker 1>just so young and scared to death, you know, the

0:32:09.000 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 1>world coming at me so fast. Everything was so perfect

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 1>in this moment, I just wanted to connect with you,

0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and I just I stared at you. So the vows

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the most anticipated, dare I say, the most dramatic moment

0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 1>of our wedding, and it's something that you and I

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 1>were scared to death to do, which was right our vows.

0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Why we were so intimidated by doing this for each.

0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Other, It's funny we both were. I think it was

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the hardest thing of the whole wedding.

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 1>For sure, because I just didn't want to let you do.

0:32:40.240 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing. Yeah, I didn't want to disappoint you.

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:46.959
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want them to be uneven from each other. Yeah,

0:32:46.960 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 2>but like I had all the Yeah, I didn't want to.

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.080
<v Speaker 1>We didn't discuss what we were going to write. We

0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:54.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't discuss The only thing we kind of mentioned when

0:32:54.440 --> 0:32:56.560
<v Speaker 1>it was all said and done was about how long

0:32:56.640 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 1>are yours? And we kind of discussed the link because

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to be somewhat even. But we didn't say

0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 1>what we were going to do, what we were going

0:33:03.880 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to say. And you went first. You gave your vows first.

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I told myself, please hear this, don't just listen like

0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:21.960
<v Speaker 1>hear this, like try and hear the words. And I

0:33:22.000 --> 0:33:26.280
<v Speaker 1>failed miserably. Yeah, Like, I mean, I heard what you said,

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:29.520
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I I but I just I agree.

0:33:29.520 --> 0:33:31.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the blur thing again. I honestly, we

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.200
<v Speaker 2>should send each other our vows and read them.

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh we're going to And that's again what made Austin

0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:39.400
<v Speaker 1>so spectacularly special.

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I can't recommend getting married twice. Yes, even if you listen,

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 2>do it on a low budget, just do it because

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 2>it's like you you get a rehearsal and then you

0:33:48.720 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 2>get a show and you've covered it all.

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 1>But so you're you're doing your vows, you start crying.

0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I made the joke during the vows that

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 2>audio I didn't that audio. Can we fix it in post?

0:34:02.080 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Because my voice was shaky and I was crying, and

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I was worried that you wouldn't be able to understand me,

0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:09.440
<v Speaker 2>or that the people in the back wouldn't be able

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:10.960
<v Speaker 2>to hear me, because I wanted everyone to feel a

0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:15.560
<v Speaker 2>part of it. But yeah, I was crying because I

0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 2>don't even know if I can put a reason why

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 2>you cry. I think you're crying because of the culmination

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 2>of the emotion.

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think I cried? Well? When I was

0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 1>going through my vows, I knew I had I read

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:35.640
<v Speaker 1>mine two dozen times because I tried to and and

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean this in a bad way. I was

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 1>trying to desensitize myself to certain parts of it. I

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 1>wanted to get through it because I wanted to deliver

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:44.839
<v Speaker 1>it for you in the right way again, Host Guy,

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to deliver it.

0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Desensitize himself.

0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 1>That's a word. It's such a negative connotation, but that's

0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 1>what I want. I was trying.

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 2>I wanted you to cry.

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:56.839
<v Speaker 1>I know, well there was that was inevitable, but there

0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:58.320
<v Speaker 1>were parts of it. I knew I was going to

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:01.240
<v Speaker 1>choke on and I knew where that was. Of course

0:35:01.280 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>it was family, but I didn't even make it there,

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:08.920
<v Speaker 1>like I had to pause. I don't even I'm scared

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to even listen back because we videotaped it. I'm scared

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:14.840
<v Speaker 1>to listen back because I feel like I was a

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:18.080
<v Speaker 1>cat being strangled. I couldn't get words out. I had

0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to stop for me.

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think you sounded that way at all, and

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:22.239
<v Speaker 2>you did do your thing. You kind of paused and

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:25.719
<v Speaker 2>kept going back into your deep host voice and like projecting,

0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I think, to get yourself out of that. But listen

0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 2>to the vows.

0:35:29.160 --> 0:35:31.279
<v Speaker 1>It's my fail safe, it's my defense mechanism. I can

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:33.560
<v Speaker 1>always go back into that voice and bury it here

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:36.279
<v Speaker 1>in my chest so I can get through it. But

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't.

0:35:37.320 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 2>I was ready for coming up up next the vowels

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:47.120
<v Speaker 2>after the break. The vows were wonderful. I loved yours.

0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't think either of us disappointed the other.

0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I knew that the main issue for me was

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I got to your family, and there was where I

0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:59.239
<v Speaker 1>talk about one of the things I love about you

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:01.800
<v Speaker 1>is that you love your family and friends as fiercely

0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:04.879
<v Speaker 1>as I do. And it's something that means the world

0:36:04.920 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 1>to me. Family and friends and being protective of them,

0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 1>being loyal. And when I got to your mom, I

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 1>asked for her blessing to marry you. And how I

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:15.279
<v Speaker 1>would have loved to have reached out to your dad

0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and I would have loved to have Oh god, I

0:36:18.120 --> 0:36:19.880
<v Speaker 1>would have loved to have had a relationship with your

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:24.120
<v Speaker 1>dad and been able to talk to him about you.

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 1>And here's stories about when you were a silly little girl,

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just things that you get a chance

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:32.919
<v Speaker 1>to do. And I lament the fact that I will

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:35.719
<v Speaker 1>not have that. And so that's what I knew I

0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 1>wasn't going to get through as I just didn't.

0:36:38.719 --> 0:36:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Again, and you're the first person I've ever dated, maybe

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:50.080
<v Speaker 2>who's ever said that, but most importantly, who I've ever known,

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:53.160
<v Speaker 2>has meant that. Yeah, like I've said, oh I wish

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:55.400
<v Speaker 2>my dad could obviously wish your dad could meet the

0:36:55.400 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 2>people you're dating, And of course I feel that way

0:36:58.200 --> 0:37:01.000
<v Speaker 2>with you, but you're the first person where I know

0:37:01.080 --> 0:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>that you really mean them.

0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>And I told everybody that I was wearing your dad's

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:07.720
<v Speaker 1>cuff links.

0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:10.359
<v Speaker 2>And my mom did say you didn't have to wear them.

0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:11.840
<v Speaker 2>She didn't know if you had a plan, and I

0:37:11.880 --> 0:37:13.760
<v Speaker 2>know you actually planned. Were your grandfather's.

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it worked out. Again, just the beauty of

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:19.800
<v Speaker 1>things coming together. I had some very special cuff links

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:23.080
<v Speaker 1>that were my grandfather's. There's an S on them for Salinger,

0:37:24.320 --> 0:37:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and I've had these. I wear them at special events,

0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and of course this was going to be meaningful. I

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.239
<v Speaker 1>wanted my grandfather to be there, so I was going

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:33.920
<v Speaker 1>to wear his cuf links. And then I got your

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:37.960
<v Speaker 1>dad's cuff links, and I immediately thought this is perfect.

0:37:38.400 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 1>So I wore your dad's cuf links instead, and I

0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:44.520
<v Speaker 1>gave my grandfather's cup links to my son, Joshua. So

0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:47.320
<v Speaker 1>my best man, Joshi got to wear the cuff links

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and I got to put him. I had your brother

0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:52.879
<v Speaker 1>before the wedding. I called him over and John put

0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:55.719
<v Speaker 1>my cuff links on so and he knew. I said,

0:37:55.719 --> 0:37:57.799
<v Speaker 1>do you know who these cuff links belonged to? He said, oh,

0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:00.280
<v Speaker 1>these are my dads. I've seen these a million Timess

0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and I love that he knew right away. And then

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I put my grandfather's cup links it's his great grandfather,

0:38:07.560 --> 0:38:10.720
<v Speaker 1>his CUF links on Joshua. So it was just perfect.

0:38:10.800 --> 0:38:12.600
<v Speaker 1>And so in the vows, I talked about wearing his

0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:14.640
<v Speaker 1>CUF links and what it meant to me, and that

0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:16.400
<v Speaker 1>was just, you know, all of it just and I

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:19.840
<v Speaker 1>talked about my kids and you being a part of

0:38:19.920 --> 0:38:23.400
<v Speaker 1>our family and all of that. I didn't make it

0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:24.480
<v Speaker 1>through any of that stuff.

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think, you know, as nervous as we were,

0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 2>we both hit on the same themes right on family,

0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:34.440
<v Speaker 2>on making each other's family our own, on why our

0:38:34.560 --> 0:38:38.719
<v Speaker 2>relationship works, on our partnership, on the joy of it,

0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:44.200
<v Speaker 2>on you know, just the blessing that it is to

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:48.000
<v Speaker 2>be together. And so A, I don't you know, A,

0:38:48.120 --> 0:38:49.840
<v Speaker 2>we probably need to read them again, but B, I

0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:52.319
<v Speaker 2>think you know, some of that stuff well we'll keep

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:57.920
<v Speaker 2>for ourselves. But it was so it was perfect.

0:38:57.920 --> 0:38:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, my beauty of Austin is we got to do

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:02.239
<v Speaker 1>it again. Yeah, that was That was the beauty of

0:39:02.280 --> 0:39:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it is that then we got to kind of really

0:39:04.480 --> 0:39:06.319
<v Speaker 1>take it in. I think better when we did it

0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:08.840
<v Speaker 1>in Austin because we had kind of yes, yeah, not

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>that we made it through again, but because we didn't.

0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 2>But so Napa, we set our vows. Mike was an incredible, efficient,

0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:20.600
<v Speaker 2>funny and he included the audience and and I really

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe everybody says this, but people did come up to

0:39:24.239 --> 0:39:26.480
<v Speaker 2>us and they were like, God, we were crying. So

0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 2>it was Napa was a much. Napa was very emotional.

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was all of our best friends. We

0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:36.920
<v Speaker 2>were all crying. And luckily after that we got to

0:39:37.239 --> 0:39:42.080
<v Speaker 2>go straight to the incredible Roy Estate and have a

0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 2>beautiful wine filled dinner that had lots of laughs and

0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:46.160
<v Speaker 2>lots of fun.

0:39:57.760 --> 0:40:01.640
<v Speaker 1>So Roy Vineyard, which is where we held the celebration

0:40:01.920 --> 0:40:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and the dinner after was it's something that's it's a

0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:08.920
<v Speaker 1>place that's been special to me. Catherine Reynolds. I've been

0:40:08.920 --> 0:40:11.920
<v Speaker 1>friends with the prior owners who I met and actually

0:40:12.120 --> 0:40:14.200
<v Speaker 1>we used I think we did Roy on the show,

0:40:14.239 --> 0:40:16.799
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's kind of was how he was arin. Yeah,

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Ari season and we met them and you film something there, Yes,

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:22.440
<v Speaker 1>we did. Yeah, we filmed it Roy, but that house

0:40:22.560 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 1>burned down and the fires.

0:40:24.360 --> 0:40:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Of twenty seventeen.

0:40:25.440 --> 0:40:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and so they've rebuilt this beautiful tasting room. It

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>is magnificent, and it has this huge cathedral architecture and

0:40:35.840 --> 0:40:39.560
<v Speaker 1>this beautiful window I don't know, maybe sixty foot window

0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:41.640
<v Speaker 1>that looks out over the valley and over their vineyards,

0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:45.439
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's a place where you and I when

0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 1>we went to just visit Catherine, a friend of ours,

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 1>and have some wine. One day, we both left and

0:40:51.200 --> 0:40:53.719
<v Speaker 1>we're like, this, this is the place. We need to

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:55.120
<v Speaker 1>come back here and have our celebration.

0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:58.320
<v Speaker 2>It was about a year ago because it was harvest

0:40:58.320 --> 0:41:01.360
<v Speaker 2>time and napole last year. They said, we've just finished

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:04.799
<v Speaker 2>rebuilding after everything burned down in the horrible fires. It's

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:08.160
<v Speaker 2>taken years. Come see the new place. We went and

0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:12.560
<v Speaker 2>it was, you know, we I like a little gut feeling.

0:41:13.200 --> 0:41:14.520
<v Speaker 2>We didn't know where we were going to get married

0:41:14.520 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 2>at this point, and we didn't know where we were

0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:18.880
<v Speaker 2>going to even by that, I mean even what city.

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:21.919
<v Speaker 2>And we kind of both looked at each other and said,

0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:24.600
<v Speaker 2>this feels like a place or we should celebrate.

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:27.240
<v Speaker 1>It seemed ridiculous that we hadn't thought of it already.

0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:29.080
<v Speaker 1>It just how that's how right it fell.

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:31.279
<v Speaker 2>As we were leaving roy that day a year ago,

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:35.720
<v Speaker 2>a rainbow came into the sky, and then we really thought, Okay,

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 2>this is it.

0:41:36.400 --> 0:41:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you believe in signs for sure? Yes, karma signs,

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the energy.

0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:44.400
<v Speaker 2>This is something we should have discussed before getting I know,

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:47.239
<v Speaker 2>I fully believe. I mean I've never asked you that

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:50.000
<v Speaker 2>we're married. Yikes, still things to learn about each other.

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm a big believer in that. And so yeah, we

0:41:51.880 --> 0:41:54.360
<v Speaker 1>walked out and again if I told you, you know,

0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:56.480
<v Speaker 1>we have the picture, maybe we'll even post it because

0:41:56.719 --> 0:41:59.720
<v Speaker 1>it was so perfect and ridiculous the way it arched

0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:02.520
<v Speaker 1>over the exit as we were walking out. I mean

0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:05.520
<v Speaker 1>it was you'd be like, this is dumb, this doesn't happen,

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:08.240
<v Speaker 1>this is Hollywood, but it was. It was that perfect,

0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:10.240
<v Speaker 1>and we were like, this is it where we were

0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:13.040
<v Speaker 1>And so that's we had a little like an hour

0:42:13.640 --> 0:42:16.640
<v Speaker 1>or so of kind of we have some caviar.

0:42:16.920 --> 0:42:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh. I again I sound like a brat,

0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.359
<v Speaker 2>but I it was our wedding weekend and I had

0:42:24.440 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 2>caviar every day. I was so happy.

0:42:26.880 --> 0:42:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, the chef, so the chef at.

0:42:28.480 --> 0:42:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Roy, chef Tom Stafford, incredible chef Tom.

0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:32.880
<v Speaker 1>We got to give him a shout out and he

0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:34.759
<v Speaker 1>has a little Chicago tie. I think he worked at

0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Alenea in Chicago, Cruit and he was so brilliant, and

0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>so we we had about an hour because we were

0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:43.440
<v Speaker 1>taking some pictures as well, getting all the family photos

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:44.760
<v Speaker 1>doing all that. We had this amazing.

0:42:44.800 --> 0:42:46.040
<v Speaker 2>We took some pictures at Roy.

0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we took some pictures at Roy, went into the

0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:50.680
<v Speaker 1>vineyard and if you've been online on our Instagram, you've

0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:53.120
<v Speaker 1>seen kind of the hero shots of us in front

0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of the tasting room. And again, their wines are spectacular.

0:42:57.280 --> 0:43:01.719
<v Speaker 1>Chef Tom is incredible and he meticulously went through with

0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:03.960
<v Speaker 1>us because we wanted this to not necessarily be a

0:43:04.040 --> 0:43:11.360
<v Speaker 1>huge party. We wanted a wonderful coursed out wine tasting dinner, wines.

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Paired with incredible foods for the forty people we had.

0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I do think a struggle at a wedding is the

0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:19.640
<v Speaker 2>bigger the group, and it's just hard to feed a

0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:20.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of people. It's hard for the food to be

0:43:20.840 --> 0:43:23.359
<v Speaker 2>really good, and we wanted some really good food and wow,

0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 2>did Chef Tom deliver.

0:43:24.920 --> 0:43:26.640
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the best meals I've ever had in

0:43:26.640 --> 0:43:27.120
<v Speaker 1>my life.

0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:28.799
<v Speaker 2>I never had a meal like this before. Was fun.

0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:31.680
<v Speaker 2>The first few courses were plaited. We had a Barodica

0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:34.799
<v Speaker 2>prace salad. We had a short red bravioli with a

0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:37.439
<v Speaker 2>marscapone cheese. I don't think I'll ever forget this many.

0:43:37.520 --> 0:43:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I love the food so much. And then the next

0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:41.800
<v Speaker 2>part was really fun. It was like self serve it

0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:45.880
<v Speaker 2>they have a hearth, they're an open fire, wood burning

0:43:45.920 --> 0:43:50.000
<v Speaker 2>oven kind of and he made these incredible Texas little

0:43:50.000 --> 0:43:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Texas nod Wagoo steaks, grilled vegetables, salmon, quail. I mean,

0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:58.600
<v Speaker 2>if you had a dietary restriction, Chef Tom was looking

0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:00.759
<v Speaker 2>out for you that night. And so then that was

0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:03.480
<v Speaker 2>self serve and people kept going up for more and

0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:04.839
<v Speaker 2>more meat. I've never seen.

0:44:05.000 --> 0:44:06.439
<v Speaker 1>The Texas wagu was next level.

0:44:06.480 --> 0:44:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Just the quail, oh man, I'm in every every course

0:44:12.480 --> 0:44:14.239
<v Speaker 1>had a wine with it as well, and.

0:44:14.280 --> 0:44:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Of rose, incredible wines. So the food was amazing. After

0:44:18.680 --> 0:44:22.120
<v Speaker 2>our little cocktail hour where we had the caveat and

0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a little Haimon, a little champagne, we took some pictures,

0:44:24.719 --> 0:44:26.520
<v Speaker 2>we sat down for dinner and at the beginning of

0:44:26.520 --> 0:44:31.080
<v Speaker 2>dinner we did some toasts from our moms, which we

0:44:31.080 --> 0:44:32.719
<v Speaker 2>were we weren't sure if they were going to be

0:44:32.760 --> 0:44:34.720
<v Speaker 2>more roast and more toasts, but I think the moms

0:44:35.120 --> 0:44:38.680
<v Speaker 2>kept it emotionally complementary. Both of them married wouldn't be

0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:41.319
<v Speaker 2>where we are today without a little criticism from our

0:44:41.360 --> 0:44:42.240
<v Speaker 2>wonderful mothers.

0:44:42.320 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 1>They were perfec well. The thing is, I will brag

0:44:44.719 --> 0:44:47.160
<v Speaker 1>on them both. They are both brilliant women. They are

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:52.480
<v Speaker 1>both such well spoken, thoughtful women, both so strong and independent.

0:44:52.640 --> 0:44:54.560
<v Speaker 1>They obviously did a great job raising you, and I

0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:57.319
<v Speaker 1>will give my mom kudos for being an amazing mom

0:44:57.360 --> 0:45:00.839
<v Speaker 1>with me. And so to it. They parted. They each

0:45:01.000 --> 0:45:03.480
<v Speaker 1>imparted wisdom in very different ways. They both had some

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:04.680
<v Speaker 1>life lessons that they dropped.

0:45:04.719 --> 0:45:06.080
<v Speaker 2>They were both very complimentary of us.

0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they were. It was beautiful.

0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:09.000
<v Speaker 2>It's nice to get a compliment from mom.

0:45:09.440 --> 0:45:09.839
<v Speaker 1>It is.

0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:11.840
<v Speaker 2>It comes around once in a blue moon, on a

0:45:11.840 --> 0:45:12.480
<v Speaker 2>wedding maybe.

0:45:12.520 --> 0:45:14.879
<v Speaker 1>And then the kids got up. Josh and Taylor came

0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:17.520
<v Speaker 1>in and then rushed it and they killed it.

0:45:18.680 --> 0:45:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I gotta say, we didn't know about Josh, and he

0:45:21.040 --> 0:45:23.560
<v Speaker 2>will say this. He actually said it in his speech, Taylor,

0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:26.000
<v Speaker 2>your daughter, Taylor has done theater. She's used to being

0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:29.600
<v Speaker 2>on stage. Little more. Josh. He opened by saying, I'm

0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:32.400
<v Speaker 2>not a big public speaker, but oh my gosh, I

0:45:32.440 --> 0:45:36.600
<v Speaker 2>was so overwhelmed with he was so confident and natural and.

0:45:36.520 --> 0:45:37.840
<v Speaker 1>He landed some jokes.

0:45:38.000 --> 0:45:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh he crushed it.

0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:42.640
<v Speaker 1>But Taylor got up and she spoke as well, and

0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:46.040
<v Speaker 1>she was funny and thoughtful. And you know, parents, can

0:45:46.080 --> 0:45:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I talk to you for a second, So you know

0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:51.520
<v Speaker 1>how you feel like every day you're screwing up your

0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:55.279
<v Speaker 1>kids and you're ruining their life. That is childhood, right,

0:45:55.360 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean every day we're like this is going to

0:45:57.560 --> 0:46:00.520
<v Speaker 1>cost offs and therapy because you feel like you're messing

0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:05.840
<v Speaker 1>them up. Then there's these moments that your kids show

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:10.719
<v Speaker 1>up and they speak or they do something and you think, wow,

0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:15.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe I didn't screw them up so bad, Like maybe

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:19.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're gonna be okay. They're great human beings. But

0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:24.480
<v Speaker 1>they know we all as parents have those feelings of man,

0:46:25.200 --> 0:46:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, am I just screwing them up? But that

0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:31.040
<v Speaker 1>they the way they arrived in that moment just blew

0:46:31.120 --> 0:46:34.880
<v Speaker 1>me away. And it was beautiful and so Josh Taylor,

0:46:36.239 --> 0:46:37.759
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you how much I love you. I

0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:40.200
<v Speaker 1>can't tell you how proud I am of you. But

0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:43.120
<v Speaker 1>we did. We we buried the lead because before we

0:46:43.160 --> 0:46:46.719
<v Speaker 1>went in to sit for dinner and the speeches. We

0:46:46.760 --> 0:46:50.720
<v Speaker 1>all gathered for our first dance, and my daughter, Taylor

0:46:50.800 --> 0:46:55.239
<v Speaker 1>is a beautiful singer, songwriter, performer. It's not what she's

0:46:55.280 --> 0:46:57.880
<v Speaker 1>majoring in. She's not a music major, but she was

0:46:58.200 --> 0:47:01.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty proficient as a pianist and guitarist and as a

0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:04.960
<v Speaker 1>singer as a child and took voice lessons and all that.

0:47:05.120 --> 0:47:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Then she still just loves it, and we asked her

0:47:07.960 --> 0:47:12.080
<v Speaker 1>to sing, and we asked her to sing a specific song.

0:47:12.160 --> 0:47:15.319
<v Speaker 1>It's a song that was really popular. It still is,

0:47:15.360 --> 0:47:18.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's beyond we started dating, yeah, but really when

0:47:18.160 --> 0:47:22.880
<v Speaker 1>we started dating, it's beyond by Leon Bridges. And I've

0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:25.680
<v Speaker 1>was fortunate enough to know Leon Bridges. I know Leon.

0:47:25.760 --> 0:47:27.920
<v Speaker 1>He's from Fort Worth, Texas, and we did some charitable

0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:32.319
<v Speaker 1>stuff together and so huge fan of his. And that

0:47:32.440 --> 0:47:35.360
<v Speaker 1>song is obviously probably the wedding song of the decade.

0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:38.919
<v Speaker 1>But Taylor sang it for us, and.

0:47:38.600 --> 0:47:40.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it was supposed to be our first dance,

0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:43.120
<v Speaker 2>but we really didn't even dance because we just wanted

0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:45.000
<v Speaker 2>to watch Tay the whole time, and so we were

0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:47.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of standing there and swaying, and everybody gathered around

0:47:47.719 --> 0:47:49.880
<v Speaker 2>and again. A song set the mood we'd been in

0:47:49.920 --> 0:47:52.319
<v Speaker 2>the cocktail hour, and then Taylor was the perfect way

0:47:52.360 --> 0:47:56.399
<v Speaker 2>to kind of, you know, get everybody together a little bit.

0:47:56.520 --> 0:48:00.279
<v Speaker 2>And she had been practicing, which meant so much much,

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:01.680
<v Speaker 2>and she was just perfect.

0:48:01.719 --> 0:48:05.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's funny. And so there's the lyrics to

0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the song, and I swear I know the lyrics to

0:48:08.200 --> 0:48:10.600
<v Speaker 1>this song by heart. But there was a line in

0:48:10.680 --> 0:48:13.359
<v Speaker 1>there that Grandma would have loved you.

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she changed that. Taylor changed that.

0:48:16.800 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 1>It's in the lyrics. Oh it is, it's in I

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:20.239
<v Speaker 1>thought so too.

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:21.399
<v Speaker 2>I thought she changed.

0:48:22.719 --> 0:48:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I did too. So I spoke about my grandmother, who,

0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:28.680
<v Speaker 1>God rest her soul, lived in ninety nine and a

0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:33.520
<v Speaker 1>half and was just this spectacular, beautiful Jewish grandmother, and

0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:37.080
<v Speaker 1>it was the matriarch of our family. So much wisdom,

0:48:37.120 --> 0:48:39.840
<v Speaker 1>so much beauty. The way Taylor hit that line, I

0:48:39.880 --> 0:48:41.680
<v Speaker 1>thought she changed it too. I was like, I've never

0:48:41.719 --> 0:48:44.200
<v Speaker 1>heard that before. I went and looked up the lyrics

0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to beyond it's in there.

0:48:46.320 --> 0:48:48.520
<v Speaker 2>You know what shout out today knows how to deliver

0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:50.080
<v Speaker 2>a line from her dad.

0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:52.480
<v Speaker 1>And so yes, she did so. But that then I

0:48:52.520 --> 0:48:54.520
<v Speaker 1>lost it again. You're right, we didn't really dance as

0:48:54.600 --> 0:48:57.480
<v Speaker 1>much as we just stared at our daughter in this

0:48:57.600 --> 0:49:00.279
<v Speaker 1>beautiful and again, when I tell you, the picture that

0:49:00.320 --> 0:49:04.200
<v Speaker 1>God painted behind her was glorious. The sun was coming out.

0:49:04.400 --> 0:49:05.600
<v Speaker 1>It was magic, the.

0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Type of sky that cameras are never going to capture.

0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:09.279
<v Speaker 2>How it really looked to the human eye.

0:49:09.320 --> 0:49:12.080
<v Speaker 1>It was so because the clouds painted it perfect, gave

0:49:12.120 --> 0:49:14.880
<v Speaker 1>it the depth of field, and just it was magnificent.

0:49:14.920 --> 0:49:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And Taylor just just everybody was speechless. And she was

0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:21.920
<v Speaker 1>performing with this this young woman who.

0:49:22.040 --> 0:49:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, shout out to Ellie James, this musician who came

0:49:25.719 --> 0:49:28.720
<v Speaker 2>and thank you for keeping our secrets. She was the only,

0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:31.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, sort of outside the person there. And she

0:49:32.560 --> 0:49:36.080
<v Speaker 2>played the piano. As you walked in for the ceremony,

0:49:36.200 --> 0:49:39.960
<v Speaker 2>she played one by You two, a song that you

0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:41.600
<v Speaker 2>know you love you too, and I just.

0:49:41.600 --> 0:49:43.839
<v Speaker 1>Thought it and the lyrics are amazing perfect.

0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:47.319
<v Speaker 2>So that was a piano version. Then I walked down

0:49:47.400 --> 0:49:51.080
<v Speaker 2>the aisle and she played on the piano leve En Rose.

0:49:52.000 --> 0:49:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Now I wanted to walk down to that song for

0:49:55.239 --> 0:49:58.719
<v Speaker 2>many reasons. One when you again, when you and I

0:49:58.760 --> 0:50:01.359
<v Speaker 2>were dating, the movie A Star Is Born was big,

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:03.359
<v Speaker 2>and I was obsessed with it on Roses and Rose

0:50:03.480 --> 0:50:05.719
<v Speaker 2>the Bachelor Recap show. I did, I like, spoofed it

0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:08.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot. I sang shallow. I was totally into the

0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Lady Gaga version of Love on Rose from that movie

0:50:11.560 --> 0:50:15.520
<v Speaker 2>with her and Bradley Cooper. And then the one of

0:50:15.560 --> 0:50:17.799
<v Speaker 2>the ways I really knew I liked you was that

0:50:17.800 --> 0:50:21.160
<v Speaker 2>for Halloween Lash that year, you hadn't even seen the

0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:23.520
<v Speaker 2>movie yet, and I said, hey, I really want to

0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:27.120
<v Speaker 2>be Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's characters from A Star

0:50:27.200 --> 0:50:28.480
<v Speaker 2>is Born, and he said.

0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Cool, got it.

0:50:29.120 --> 0:50:31.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll look up a poster and you came up with

0:50:31.200 --> 0:50:34.920
<v Speaker 2>a costume that day, and I thought, you know, this

0:50:34.960 --> 0:50:37.319
<v Speaker 2>guy cares, this guy wants to make me happy. It

0:50:37.360 --> 0:50:39.080
<v Speaker 2>was a really early sign we'd on evenen dating a

0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:39.439
<v Speaker 2>few months.

0:50:39.480 --> 0:50:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Effort efforts, but in the effort.

0:50:41.719 --> 0:50:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, gosh, I could go on about how women

0:50:44.440 --> 0:50:45.840
<v Speaker 2>women are just like I just want to find a

0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:48.279
<v Speaker 2>guy who can like talk to people. But anyway, so

0:50:49.920 --> 0:50:51.960
<v Speaker 2>that song was meaningful for that reason, and also when

0:50:52.000 --> 0:50:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I really looked up the lyrics, well, and I'll give

0:50:54.120 --> 0:50:57.040
<v Speaker 2>a little shout out to look Levey on Rose Rose.

0:50:57.160 --> 0:51:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Obviously there's some ties Roses in your life and line

0:51:01.360 --> 0:51:03.799
<v Speaker 2>and our life and what brought us together shout out

0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:07.920
<v Speaker 2>to Roses. But the lyrics are about how when you

0:51:08.040 --> 0:51:11.600
<v Speaker 2>find true love you see life in rose like through

0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:17.200
<v Speaker 2>rose colored glasses, life is in pink. And that is

0:51:17.239 --> 0:51:19.800
<v Speaker 2>really how I feel. I really I did. I'll reveal

0:51:19.840 --> 0:51:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I did say this in the vows. I said, I

0:51:22.719 --> 0:51:26.040
<v Speaker 2>never knew life could be like this, and I don't

0:51:26.040 --> 0:51:31.600
<v Speaker 2>want to live it any other way. And I really

0:51:31.640 --> 0:51:34.160
<v Speaker 2>feel that way, and that really is what that song

0:51:34.239 --> 0:51:38.840
<v Speaker 2>means to me. So so I'm really grateful to be

0:51:38.880 --> 0:51:43.160
<v Speaker 2>your wife. And I walked down to that song. And

0:51:43.200 --> 0:51:46.000
<v Speaker 2>then after you and I got married, Ellie, as we

0:51:46.160 --> 0:51:48.560
<v Speaker 2>turned around and walked out to go take pictures, she

0:51:48.640 --> 0:51:51.480
<v Speaker 2>played Beautiful Day by you two, and it was.

0:51:51.520 --> 0:51:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Beautiful that was in it, and then Taylor saying beyond

0:51:54.560 --> 0:51:57.879
<v Speaker 1>and then yeah, the line I know that Grandma would

0:51:57.920 --> 0:52:00.400
<v Speaker 1>have loved her. And I could not believe that I

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:03.080
<v Speaker 1>heard that line for the first time in there. I

0:52:03.560 --> 0:52:05.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know how I missed it, and it was just perfect.

0:52:05.320 --> 0:52:06.840
<v Speaker 1>And I went and looked at the lie and maybe it.

0:52:06.840 --> 0:52:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Was meaningful that you heard it for the first time.

0:52:09.200 --> 0:52:11.040
<v Speaker 1>It is not until that moment because I had talked

0:52:11.040 --> 0:52:13.120
<v Speaker 1>about my grandmother and my vows as well, and so

0:52:13.280 --> 0:52:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I really thought Taylor had added it, and I gave sorry,

0:52:16.120 --> 0:52:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Leon Bridges, I gave that credit to my daughter. But

0:52:19.160 --> 0:52:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it was it was perfectly.

0:52:20.160 --> 0:52:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Meaningful because I loved your grandmother so much.

0:52:22.280 --> 0:52:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and that, and I talked about and honestly, without

0:52:25.840 --> 0:52:27.480
<v Speaker 1>even knowing that that was in the song, I had

0:52:27.520 --> 0:52:30.759
<v Speaker 1>talked about how I wish my grandma had known you.

0:52:31.080 --> 0:52:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I wish you guys had met because she would have

0:52:33.120 --> 0:52:36.320
<v Speaker 1>loved you. And I can't believe.

0:52:36.520 --> 0:52:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I can't believe that's in the song. I thought she

0:52:38.000 --> 0:52:50.920
<v Speaker 2>added it too. I have to say my little sister

0:52:50.960 --> 0:52:54.600
<v Speaker 2>spoke Christina. Oh yes, yes, she was wonderful. She is

0:52:54.719 --> 0:52:58.840
<v Speaker 2>a powerhouse executive and she delivers every time. She's solid

0:52:59.360 --> 0:53:03.480
<v Speaker 2>and she was. She loves you so much. She gosh,

0:53:03.480 --> 0:53:06.160
<v Speaker 2>she did everything for me. I didn't have a wedding planner,

0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:09.600
<v Speaker 2>but I had a little sister. She remembered to go.

0:53:09.719 --> 0:53:11.440
<v Speaker 2>She was the ultimate maide of honor. You know how

0:53:11.440 --> 0:53:13.160
<v Speaker 2>people are like, oh what can I help with whatever?

0:53:13.719 --> 0:53:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Just like do because that day as a brider a groom,

0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I think you're frazzled like she was, like I got

0:53:19.440 --> 0:53:21.520
<v Speaker 2>your dress. Don't worry like I picked up this. No,

0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:23.239
<v Speaker 2>I got that out of the bridle. Sweet. She was

0:53:23.360 --> 0:53:26.000
<v Speaker 2>just remembering things that day and kind of full.

0:53:26.080 --> 0:53:28.920
<v Speaker 1>In those situations you do not have to ask no,

0:53:29.160 --> 0:53:31.319
<v Speaker 1>they just they are two steps ahead of you because

0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:33.919
<v Speaker 1>you know your brain is frazzled, and so it's nice

0:53:33.920 --> 0:53:35.880
<v Speaker 1>when people are around you. That's like, I got you.

0:53:36.120 --> 0:53:39.440
<v Speaker 2>She was making sure. That's the ultimate sacrifice, right. She

0:53:39.520 --> 0:53:41.880
<v Speaker 2>was putting my happiness above her own that day and

0:53:41.920 --> 0:53:45.040
<v Speaker 2>making sure I had fun, and that probably meant she

0:53:45.280 --> 0:53:46.400
<v Speaker 2>was a little.

0:53:46.120 --> 0:53:48.680
<v Speaker 1>More soubers does your brother, because as you were about

0:53:48.719 --> 0:53:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to walk down the aisle, you realized it was funny,

0:53:51.880 --> 0:53:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't have my bouquet.

0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Oops, I forgot the bouquet.

0:53:56.560 --> 0:53:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, John, your brother has to sprint up the flight

0:53:59.760 --> 0:54:00.799
<v Speaker 1>is I.

0:54:00.760 --> 0:54:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Mean, we were running a little late because I gotten

0:54:02.480 --> 0:54:04.239
<v Speaker 2>the makeup down the front of my dress. Not very late,

0:54:04.280 --> 0:54:05.879
<v Speaker 2>but a few we had to get the makeup out.

0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:07.919
<v Speaker 2>So I'm a little I'm starting. I'm a little bit like, Okay,

0:54:08.880 --> 0:54:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Time, but you know, we're feeling it.

0:54:12.000 --> 0:54:14.400

0:55:04.960 --> 0:55:08.320
<v Speaker 1>So Lola Beauty, I only become a friend of ours now. Yes,

0:55:07.920 --> 0:55:09.920
<v Speaker 1>she's now a part of her life, whether she likes

0:55:09.960 --> 0:55:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it or not.

0:55:10.800 --> 0:55:13.680
<v Speaker 2>I told her your family now, yes, And so I

0:55:13.760 --> 0:55:16.719
<v Speaker 2>bring her up because another thing I maybe forgot without

0:55:16.760 --> 0:55:19.480
<v Speaker 2>my wedding planner. As I'm like going to walk down,

0:55:19.520 --> 0:55:22.040
<v Speaker 2>she goes, well, who's helping you? I got ready in

0:55:22.040 --> 0:55:24.280
<v Speaker 2>this house with this little guest house up these stairs.

0:55:24.440 --> 0:55:25.880
<v Speaker 2>She's like, well, who's helping you down the stairs in

0:55:25.880 --> 0:55:27.520
<v Speaker 2>your dress? Because my mom and sister were gone they

0:55:27.560 --> 0:55:30.120
<v Speaker 2>had to be in for the ceremony. I said, you know, Lauren,

0:55:30.160 --> 0:55:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess you are. You're family, and nowt thank you.

0:55:33.080 --> 0:55:35.480
<v Speaker 2>She did it all. So she helped carry me carry

0:55:35.520 --> 0:55:38.520
<v Speaker 2>my dress down these steps. But then we're carrying my

0:55:38.600 --> 0:55:40.839
<v Speaker 2>dress down, my brother comes out. He's going to meet

0:55:40.840 --> 0:55:43.719
<v Speaker 2>me to walk me down the aisle. We're about to go.

0:55:43.800 --> 0:55:46.040
<v Speaker 2>He's like, okay, he got the text it's time to

0:55:46.040 --> 0:55:48.360
<v Speaker 2>go from your wonderful assistant Karen. He's like, okay, we

0:55:48.400 --> 0:55:52.200
<v Speaker 2>got to go. And I said, John, I was carrying

0:55:52.239 --> 0:55:55.759
<v Speaker 2>my dress. I didn't carry a bouquet down here. And

0:55:55.800 --> 0:55:59.399
<v Speaker 2>my little brother runs and I said, god, you're in dress, shoes,

0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:02.319
<v Speaker 2>don't fall. Runs up the stairs, finds my bouquet. We

0:56:02.400 --> 0:56:03.960
<v Speaker 2>forgot to dry it off. It had been in water.

0:56:04.040 --> 0:56:06.160
<v Speaker 2>It's sopping wet. Each rise it off on his brand

0:56:06.200 --> 0:56:10.480
<v Speaker 2>new suit from you, my sweet little drawn, and just

0:56:10.520 --> 0:56:14.920
<v Speaker 2>a few minutes late we walked down the aisle. I

0:56:15.000 --> 0:56:17.359
<v Speaker 2>did find out later I also asked him to hold

0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:19.320
<v Speaker 2>my phone, but his suit was so well fitt he

0:56:19.360 --> 0:56:22.680
<v Speaker 2>said he couldn't keep two phones in the pockets, so

0:56:22.719 --> 0:56:26.640
<v Speaker 2>he threw his own phone into the bushes outside and

0:56:26.680 --> 0:56:29.200
<v Speaker 2>went back and got it later. This is why you

0:56:29.200 --> 0:56:31.440
<v Speaker 2>have a small, intimate wedding with just your best family

0:56:31.520 --> 0:56:34.040
<v Speaker 2>and friends, because when you forget crap, they're not mad

0:56:34.080 --> 0:56:36.520
<v Speaker 2>at you. And also they don't do any weird crap.

0:56:36.680 --> 0:56:38.719
<v Speaker 2>We should talk about that. In Austin, the bigger the

0:56:38.760 --> 0:56:40.680
<v Speaker 2>party gets as fun as it was. People do some

0:56:40.719 --> 0:56:43.200
<v Speaker 2>weird crap. You can rely on your friends and family

0:56:43.239 --> 0:56:45.760
<v Speaker 2>to not get well, maybe not all maybe not extended family.

0:56:45.960 --> 0:56:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Your close family and friends are gonna not be weird anyway.

0:56:49.200 --> 0:56:54.520
<v Speaker 1>So we wrap up with an amazing dessert, and we

0:56:54.600 --> 0:56:57.680
<v Speaker 1>wrap up with more incredible wines. And it was again,

0:56:58.040 --> 0:57:00.000
<v Speaker 1>this was so small and intimate. It was so easy

0:57:00.080 --> 0:57:03.239
<v Speaker 1>to walk around. Everybody kind of did got up and

0:57:03.280 --> 0:57:04.000
<v Speaker 1>walked around and.

0:57:04.040 --> 0:57:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Visibly we were just at two tables.

0:57:05.400 --> 0:57:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I was, you know, it was too big you know.

0:57:07.480 --> 0:57:09.640
<v Speaker 2>It was outside on this beautiful patio at Roy.

0:57:09.800 --> 0:57:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, downstairs, and it was two kind of farm tables

0:57:13.160 --> 0:57:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that ran the linkage, twenty people at each.

0:57:15.680 --> 0:57:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we were We didn't really have florals. It was candles.

0:57:17.720 --> 0:57:19.400
<v Speaker 2>We had a lot of wine glasses per plates. So

0:57:20.040 --> 0:57:21.720
<v Speaker 2>we had amazing florals at Austin.

0:57:22.320 --> 0:57:25.040
<v Speaker 1>No, no, because it was four, four or five wine

0:57:25.040 --> 0:57:26.240
<v Speaker 1>glasses in front of everybody.

0:57:26.280 --> 0:57:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Because I think we were outside, and you know, I

0:57:28.360 --> 0:57:31.240
<v Speaker 2>don't love when people. I wanted the setting to speak

0:57:31.280 --> 0:57:33.120
<v Speaker 2>for itself. If you get the chance to go to

0:57:33.200 --> 0:57:36.160
<v Speaker 2>nap but try to go to Roy. It's beautiful. The

0:57:36.240 --> 0:57:37.480
<v Speaker 2>outeror patios gorgeous.

0:57:37.520 --> 0:57:39.640
<v Speaker 1>The views are gorgeous, bringing sand to the beach. If

0:57:39.640 --> 0:57:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you're adding flowers to Harvest and Napa Valley, you're not

0:57:43.840 --> 0:57:45.040
<v Speaker 1>going to touch those colors.

0:57:45.080 --> 0:57:48.920
<v Speaker 2>So we had a gorgeous dinner and laughed and cried

0:57:49.080 --> 0:57:52.160
<v Speaker 2>and it was everything I wanted it to be. We've

0:57:52.200 --> 0:57:54.560
<v Speaker 2>got to have the entire weekend. We got to have

0:57:54.600 --> 0:57:57.480
<v Speaker 2>that quality time with the people we love the most.

0:57:57.840 --> 0:58:00.960
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I wanted to do this small wedding

0:58:01.440 --> 0:58:04.080
<v Speaker 2>followed by a big celebration in Austin because I wanted

0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:07.440
<v Speaker 2>that time. Now that being said, yes we party.

0:58:07.360 --> 0:58:10.320
<v Speaker 1>We did because we so we all jumped in the

0:58:10.360 --> 0:58:12.919
<v Speaker 1>shuttle and we all rode back together. By the way,

0:58:12.960 --> 0:58:15.360
<v Speaker 1>it was like, we didn't do that. Let's leave and

0:58:15.400 --> 0:58:18.240
<v Speaker 1>there's the car and we ride off into the sunset alone.

0:58:18.400 --> 0:58:20.360
<v Speaker 1>We wanted to be with these people. And that's one

0:58:20.360 --> 0:58:23.560
<v Speaker 1>thing I think we've learned in our just experience in life.

0:58:24.040 --> 0:58:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Everything in weddings, a lot of it is made to

0:58:26.520 --> 0:58:30.720
<v Speaker 1>separate you from the people you love, and the experience

0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:33.000
<v Speaker 1>is so different. You're not a part of the cocktails,

0:58:33.000 --> 0:58:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you're not a part you know, you're by yourself so much.

0:58:35.880 --> 0:58:39.080
<v Speaker 1>And R and I were like, no, no, let's you know,

0:58:39.240 --> 0:58:42.600
<v Speaker 1>not screw all the traditions. But some of them were like, no, no,

0:58:42.680 --> 0:58:44.320
<v Speaker 1>we want to be a part of these.

0:58:44.720 --> 0:58:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, I didn't want to spend a million hours taking

0:58:46.720 --> 0:58:49.760
<v Speaker 2>a million different pictures, although you do got to make

0:58:49.760 --> 0:58:52.200
<v Speaker 2>sure to dick some. But it's that balance. You want

0:58:52.240 --> 0:58:54.200
<v Speaker 2>time for each other and to connect and to take

0:58:54.200 --> 0:58:56.080
<v Speaker 2>it in, but you also want to be with the

0:58:56.080 --> 0:58:58.560
<v Speaker 2>people you love because it's a special moment where everybody

0:58:58.600 --> 0:59:01.200
<v Speaker 2>you love has made the time taking it out of

0:59:01.200 --> 0:59:03.840
<v Speaker 2>their schedules and I'm grateful to be together in one place.

0:59:03.640 --> 0:59:05.240
<v Speaker 1>And so we all did. We all hopped in a shuttle.

0:59:05.240 --> 0:59:06.560
<v Speaker 1>We got in the bus and we went back to

0:59:06.600 --> 0:59:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the Archer Hotel. And again one of the main reasons

0:59:09.120 --> 0:59:11.960
<v Speaker 1>we chose the Archer, other than it's this quaint, beautiful

0:59:11.960 --> 0:59:15.240
<v Speaker 1>little hotel with amazing rooms, the rooftop. I think it

0:59:15.320 --> 0:59:18.240
<v Speaker 1>is the only rooftop bar in all of downtown Napa.

0:59:18.360 --> 0:59:20.600
<v Speaker 2>And it was time for my dream to come true

0:59:21.080 --> 0:59:23.040
<v Speaker 2>rooftop dance party.

0:59:23.360 --> 0:59:27.120
<v Speaker 1>And we danced our asses off. We had late night food.

0:59:26.960 --> 0:59:29.919
<v Speaker 1>I eat my theory about a wedding and so same

0:59:29.960 --> 0:59:34.160
<v Speaker 1>as Elsie, you cannot have enough food. Just always have

0:59:34.320 --> 0:59:37.080
<v Speaker 1>food for people to nibble on. So we got there

0:59:37.120 --> 0:59:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and they had flatbreads, we had doughnut holes with I

0:59:40.240 --> 0:59:41.680
<v Speaker 1>think it was raspberry.

0:59:41.320 --> 0:59:47.680
<v Speaker 2>French fries, sandwiches, sliders, and again an open bar because

0:59:47.680 --> 0:59:49.760
<v Speaker 2>I think at this point we're pretty wind out.

0:59:50.160 --> 0:59:52.959
<v Speaker 1>Some people still drink some wine, but at this point

0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:56.240
<v Speaker 1>it was time for maybe a cocktail, maybe even some hydration,

0:59:57.120 --> 0:59:58.920
<v Speaker 1>but it was time to maybe have a tequila and

0:59:58.960 --> 0:59:59.360
<v Speaker 1>just settled.

1:00:00.040 --> 1:00:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Apologize to anyone who sees our reception photos in Napa

1:00:05.880 --> 1:00:10.120
<v Speaker 2>or Austin I am so sweaty in these pictures. I

1:00:10.640 --> 1:00:14.240
<v Speaker 2>have no regrets. I was dancing so hard and I

1:00:14.320 --> 1:00:18.720
<v Speaker 2>was oh, because I'm like, this is what I game for, Like, yes,

1:00:18.760 --> 1:00:20.760
<v Speaker 2>I came to marry you, Yes I love you. But

1:00:21.040 --> 1:00:23.520
<v Speaker 2>when do you get to dance then? Like when you're

1:00:23.520 --> 1:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>at a wedding and you're with all your favorite people.

1:00:25.560 --> 1:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>And we got to pick the songs. We got to

1:00:27.320 --> 1:00:29.680
<v Speaker 2>pick our eighties and nineties bangers. I did not want

1:00:29.680 --> 1:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>to hear the shuffle slide. I did not want to

1:00:33.000 --> 1:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>hear do you remember. No, it was like eighties and nineties.

1:00:38.080 --> 1:00:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I sound like a radio station eighties, nineties and today.

1:00:41.160 --> 1:00:44.800
<v Speaker 2>But it was all bangers and shout out to the

1:00:44.800 --> 1:00:46.920
<v Speaker 2>brother in law, Andrew. This is how diy and intimate.

1:00:47.000 --> 1:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>The wedding was. My brother in law Andrew made the

1:00:49.000 --> 1:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>dance party playlist director of Vibe. And I was in

1:00:53.360 --> 1:00:58.400
<v Speaker 2>a dress by Olivia Botega that I love. This dress.

1:00:58.400 --> 1:01:01.120
<v Speaker 2>It's called them in Roe Dress. You can get it.

1:01:01.120 --> 1:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>It's available and they, by the way, Olivia botake it

1:01:03.880 --> 1:01:07.360
<v Speaker 2>for free. Custom does custom measurements and you send them

1:01:07.400 --> 1:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and they do it a custom fit for you. This

1:01:09.560 --> 1:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>dress was so fun, sparkly twirling. Really, I went from

1:01:15.320 --> 1:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>an a line like, well, I guess I haven't talked

1:01:17.760 --> 1:01:21.960
<v Speaker 2>about picking the dress, so the dress I chose, I

1:01:21.960 --> 1:01:25.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't try on money. I saw someone the other day

1:01:25.120 --> 1:01:27.240
<v Speaker 2>say they tried on one hundred and fifty wedding dress.

1:01:27.360 --> 1:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>That's just that's crazy.

1:01:28.560 --> 1:01:30.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, baby, you're never going to get that

1:01:30.120 --> 1:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>time back. But to each their own, I tried on

1:01:33.360 --> 1:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe ten to twelve. At a certain point, I think

1:01:36.320 --> 1:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>you start to get like they all look like white dresses,

1:01:38.640 --> 1:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>and it starts to run together. But my gauge was

1:01:42.640 --> 1:01:45.880
<v Speaker 2>I just kept going back. I kept comparing everyone to

1:01:45.960 --> 1:01:49.160
<v Speaker 2>this one in my mind, and it's the fit that

1:01:49.200 --> 1:01:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I think works best for me after getting to wear

1:01:51.680 --> 1:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of amazing dresses on red carpet c et

1:01:54.320 --> 1:01:57.360
<v Speaker 2>strapless and it gave me a nice waist and then

1:01:57.400 --> 1:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>it was a little flowy, and I loved it, and

1:02:00.680 --> 1:02:03.120
<v Speaker 2>I did. I couldn't believe it. I did not. You

1:02:03.200 --> 1:02:04.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't think you were gonna cry, or you well, I

1:02:04.920 --> 1:02:07.520
<v Speaker 2>guess you were trying not to cry. I didn't want

1:02:07.600 --> 1:02:10.200
<v Speaker 2>or think I was going to cry in the wedding dress.

1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Try it. I'm like, no, this, I'm not gonna. I'm

1:02:12.880 --> 1:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm a chill bride. And I did tear up when

1:02:15.600 --> 1:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I put that dress on it because I could instantly see.

1:02:17.840 --> 1:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>You told me that. I remember you called me and

1:02:19.080 --> 1:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, had to go, you go. I tried one

1:02:21.040 --> 1:02:21.360
<v Speaker 1>on and.

1:02:21.320 --> 1:02:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I cried, yeah, because I could suddenly it was weird.

1:02:24.280 --> 1:02:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I tried it not and I could see walking down

1:02:27.920 --> 1:02:31.320
<v Speaker 2>the aisle in it to you, and that was all

1:02:31.320 --> 1:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I can that's the dream. So you changed in then

1:02:45.360 --> 1:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I wanted this other dress to kind of be similar

1:02:48.760 --> 1:02:53.040
<v Speaker 2>but different, like strapless, has a waste, a little flowy,

1:02:53.120 --> 1:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>but like sparkling fun, almost like Cinderella went to the ball,

1:02:56.320 --> 1:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>but then she she changed and so it was Towrillian fun.

1:03:01.760 --> 1:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>But with all that sparkle, it wasn't I don't want

1:03:06.280 --> 1:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>to throw shade. Get this stress. This is not shade.

1:03:08.160 --> 1:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to be clear. I love this dress. Get

1:03:10.000 --> 1:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>this dress. It wasn't the world's most breathable fabric. And

1:03:13.160 --> 1:03:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I am a sweaty person. I am the We've talked

1:03:17.040 --> 1:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>about this in interviews. When you and I used to

1:03:18.600 --> 1:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>do interviews, I'd get nervous because you don't sweat and

1:03:20.600 --> 1:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>I do. And the lights hit you for the interview,

1:03:22.960 --> 1:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm a sweaty babe, and I was dancing so hard.

1:03:25.040 --> 1:03:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I was doing so much good cardio and so anyway,

1:03:27.360 --> 1:03:28.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm really sweaty in all the pictures.

1:03:28.640 --> 1:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>And we tore it up. It was a great night,

1:03:30.200 --> 1:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and it got kind of intimate because the rooftop shuts

1:03:34.000 --> 1:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>down around on ten or ten thirty anyway, so we

1:03:36.440 --> 1:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>had the place to ourselves. We took over the entire rooftop,

1:03:39.840 --> 1:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>had it very private, very intimate, and it was just

1:03:43.080 --> 1:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>it was just wonderful because it was just our people.

1:03:47.840 --> 1:03:50.400
<v Speaker 2>The kids were dancing, of those our families, our friends.

1:03:50.880 --> 1:03:53.760
<v Speaker 2>If you see in some of the pictures Harry Potter

1:03:53.960 --> 1:03:58.480
<v Speaker 2>esque glasses. Yes, my sortie sister surprised me. They all

1:03:58.480 --> 1:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>showed up to the rooftop dance party in her Potter glasses.

1:04:01.160 --> 1:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Also another reveal, Harry Potter made it into the vows.

1:04:05.120 --> 1:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned Harry Potter and the vows. I actually think

1:04:07.120 --> 1:04:10.640
<v Speaker 2>our fici by the way, and you did so do

1:04:10.720 --> 1:04:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I need to real it isn't too much, so.

1:04:12.640 --> 1:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you you do? You?

1:04:13.920 --> 1:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>You know what's going to be funny. Also, is now

1:04:15.920 --> 1:04:18.400
<v Speaker 2>that people know that we got married, if they saw

1:04:18.400 --> 1:04:21.320
<v Speaker 2>it on Instagram, I did throw a Harry Potter Halloween party.

1:04:21.560 --> 1:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>And yes, I did throw a Halloween party at my

1:04:24.680 --> 1:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>home the week before the wedding in Austin, the week

1:04:27.800 --> 1:04:30.480
<v Speaker 2>after our wedding, and two weeks after our wedding in Napa.

1:04:31.080 --> 1:04:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Why did I do that? I don't know. I love

1:04:32.760 --> 1:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>a festivity anyway, I'm tired but happy and so yeah, fun,

1:04:39.440 --> 1:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>fun dance party. You babe, you dance.

1:04:41.960 --> 1:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I love to dance. I am of the age and

1:04:45.040 --> 1:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the era where dancing was cool, like I wish still

1:04:48.920 --> 1:04:51.840
<v Speaker 1>in the footloose era, like where you know, going to

1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>school in the you know eighties and you know nineties,

1:04:55.560 --> 1:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>And we danced. When we went to dances, we danced.

1:04:59.000 --> 1:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>We loved it. And so I still love to dance.

1:05:01.680 --> 1:05:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Not saying I'm good at it. I'm not, but I

1:05:04.680 --> 1:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>still love it and I will go at it hard

1:05:06.920 --> 1:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and enjoy it. And so we danced our asses off,

1:05:09.520 --> 1:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>had a blast, and then it was time to shut

1:05:12.720 --> 1:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>it all down again. They said it's over, y'all, need

1:05:15.520 --> 1:05:17.600
<v Speaker 1>to go home. No one wanted the night to end,

1:05:18.160 --> 1:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>and I guess I don't know. When it was twelve

1:05:19.960 --> 1:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>thirty one o'clock in the morning, we all kind of

1:05:21.760 --> 1:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>started making our way back to our rooms, which was

1:05:24.960 --> 1:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>somewhat eventful.

1:05:26.120 --> 1:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I was pretty tipsy at one point. You know, when

1:05:29.680 --> 1:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>you're the bride, you're like forgetting to I mean, I

1:05:32.240 --> 1:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>ate the meal. I loved it. I probably could have

1:05:34.600 --> 1:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>eaten more food physically, but I.

1:05:36.640 --> 1:05:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Was chatting, and every bride and groom probably has that

1:05:38.880 --> 1:05:40.959
<v Speaker 1>same thing. I wish i'd enjoyed the food.

1:05:41.040 --> 1:05:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I enjoyed it. I just should have eaten more.

1:05:43.400 --> 1:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I that is why I love nap as. I truly

1:05:46.640 --> 1:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>truly enjoyed every bite, and it was spectatorical.

1:05:50.320 --> 1:05:54.160
<v Speaker 2>I was tipsy, and we are about to at back

1:05:54.200 --> 1:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>to hotel room, and I think we should end this

1:05:56.000 --> 1:06:00.600
<v Speaker 2>podcast on this story. Yes, we're heading back and two

1:06:00.680 --> 1:06:03.160
<v Speaker 2>floors down, we are down the hall from your dear friend,

1:06:04.160 --> 1:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>and you and I are like being I think, just

1:06:06.640 --> 1:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of loud. As we're heading back.

1:06:07.920 --> 1:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>To Project the Innocent, we'll call him Chip.

1:06:10.760 --> 1:06:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I had tried to grab some French fries and

1:06:16.040 --> 1:06:18.680
<v Speaker 2>a fried chicken sandwichess. We walked out, but at some

1:06:18.760 --> 1:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>point the meat had fallen out of the sandwich. The

1:06:20.400 --> 1:06:20.960
<v Speaker 2>chicken was gone.

1:06:21.000 --> 1:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's just holding two pieces of bread and a thing.

1:06:23.440 --> 1:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really realize that. So we're laughing. You're laughing

1:06:26.360 --> 1:06:28.919
<v Speaker 2>at me loudly because you're like, babe, where's the meat?

1:06:28.960 --> 1:06:29.840
<v Speaker 2>You're just eating bread.

1:06:29.880 --> 1:06:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, you had given up halfway to our room down

1:06:32.160 --> 1:06:34.919
<v Speaker 1>the hall. You had decided your feet hurt and you

1:06:35.000 --> 1:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>gave up and you sat down on the floor in

1:06:37.760 --> 1:06:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the hall and said go on without me. I can't

1:06:41.800 --> 1:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>make it. She's folks, she's not dramatic or theatrical at all.

1:06:45.960 --> 1:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>So here we are. It's one o'clock in the morning.

1:06:48.960 --> 1:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>She's holding two pieces of bread with lettuce in it,

1:06:52.160 --> 1:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, where's the meat in here? And now

1:06:56.560 --> 1:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>we're being kind of loud again. It's one in the morning.

1:06:58.360 --> 1:07:01.040
<v Speaker 2>So your friendship open a person.

1:07:00.720 --> 1:07:03.400
<v Speaker 1>No, we don't know who this is. A door opened,

1:07:03.400 --> 1:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>so I'm like, oh my god, we've just woken somebody up.

1:07:06.520 --> 1:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get yelled at. I feel terrible. The door

1:07:09.600 --> 1:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>flies open and a gentleman walks out in his underwear.

1:07:13.880 --> 1:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>In his underwear, it turns out it's my best friend Chip.

1:07:19.400 --> 1:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>He had come out to see what the ruckus was.

1:07:21.440 --> 1:07:23.680
<v Speaker 2>I love how comfortable he felt at the Archer Hotel.

1:07:23.960 --> 1:07:24.919
<v Speaker 2>If it was his own home.

1:07:25.120 --> 1:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what his plan was. I don't know

1:07:27.080 --> 1:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>if he had a plan at all, why he what

1:07:29.680 --> 1:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>was he going to accomplish if it wasn't us, because

1:07:31.720 --> 1:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>he didn't know, he couldn't see us through the people.

1:07:33.920 --> 1:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>He didn't know who was out in the hall.

1:07:35.480 --> 1:07:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I love his confidence.

1:07:36.440 --> 1:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>He just walked down his underwear to like confront whatever

1:07:39.280 --> 1:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>was going on.

1:07:39.960 --> 1:07:42.800
<v Speaker 2>So we're already laughing because chips come out in his underwear.

1:07:43.520 --> 1:07:47.320
<v Speaker 2>And I should reveal that I did have people where

1:07:48.000 --> 1:07:52.280
<v Speaker 2>I had sort of themes aesthetics for each night. Yes,

1:07:52.360 --> 1:07:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Friday night in Napa was I called it Hampton's chic.

1:07:56.640 --> 1:08:00.880
<v Speaker 2>I wanted everybody in Cream's blues. They were actually Malakoya

1:08:00.920 --> 1:08:02.960
<v Speaker 2>and the aesthetic. I like to have a thing to

1:08:03.040 --> 1:08:04.760
<v Speaker 2>dress for. I don't know if everybody did, but I

1:08:04.840 --> 1:08:06.040
<v Speaker 2>liked to have a thing to dress work. So I

1:08:06.080 --> 1:08:09.120
<v Speaker 2>told them that on our website, I said, dress like

1:08:09.200 --> 1:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>you are the TikTok trend of coastal grandmother. Dress as

1:08:12.600 --> 1:08:14.720
<v Speaker 2>if you are in a Nancy Meers movie. Dress as

1:08:14.720 --> 1:08:18.320
<v Speaker 2>if you were Gwyneth Paltrow in courts elevated neutrals with

1:08:18.360 --> 1:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>pops of blue. Saturday Night, I said it's harvest in

1:08:22.080 --> 1:08:25.320
<v Speaker 2>nappa dress in the fall colors Ron's is and greens

1:08:25.360 --> 1:08:29.439
<v Speaker 2>and fall. Chip was so on theme that on Saturday

1:08:29.520 --> 1:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>night he wore boxers with pumpkin pie pieces on them in.

1:08:36.920 --> 1:08:38.519
<v Speaker 1>A pattern pumpkin pie underwear.

1:08:38.560 --> 1:08:40.599
<v Speaker 2>So this man is not only in this hotel all

1:08:40.600 --> 1:08:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the way in his underwear, but his underwear are covered

1:08:42.680 --> 1:08:46.080
<v Speaker 2>in it is a pattern of pumpkin pie and harvest.

1:08:47.000 --> 1:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>We get Lauren to her feet, but then we realize

1:08:51.600 --> 1:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>as we start walking away, Chip has locked himself out

1:08:55.000 --> 1:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>of his room. He's standing in the hall in his underwear.

1:08:57.720 --> 1:09:00.719
<v Speaker 1>We're walking after a room and he realizes, oh crap,

1:09:00.920 --> 1:09:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the door had closed, because where are you going to

1:09:03.320 --> 1:09:06.479
<v Speaker 1>put the key? You have no pockets. He walked out again.

1:09:06.840 --> 1:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Zero plan from this man, and he's standing there in

1:09:09.920 --> 1:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the hallway and we start to leave him.

1:09:12.800 --> 1:09:16.160
<v Speaker 2>And you say, well, you were gonna leave your best friend.

1:09:16.640 --> 1:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess you're thinking, it's my wedding night.

1:09:18.400 --> 1:09:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Every man for himself, it's my wedding night. I'm getting

1:09:20.720 --> 1:09:24.120
<v Speaker 1>my girl to the room. And you can use your

1:09:24.120 --> 1:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>imagination why.

1:09:26.400 --> 1:09:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Your own peril bezz friend locked out of his room

1:09:28.600 --> 1:09:30.920
<v Speaker 2>because his wife was asleep locked out of his room

1:09:30.920 --> 1:09:31.920
<v Speaker 2>in the hallway in his underwear.

1:09:31.960 --> 1:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>You know why he's my best friend. He understood, he said,

1:09:35.520 --> 1:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>you go, you go, buddy, it's your wedding night. I

1:09:38.320 --> 1:09:40.080
<v Speaker 1>am not going to slow your role as I'm standing

1:09:40.080 --> 1:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>here in my pumpkin pie underwear. And that is how

1:09:42.720 --> 1:09:45.519
<v Speaker 1>our wedding night ended. Well that's not how it ended,

1:09:45.560 --> 1:09:48.720
<v Speaker 1>but okay, that's how we got to the room that

1:09:48.840 --> 1:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>was NAPA.

1:09:49.520 --> 1:09:52.880
<v Speaker 2>NAPA was beautiful and perfect the only other thing and

1:09:52.880 --> 1:09:54.519
<v Speaker 2>we don't even need to get into it because everybody

1:09:54.560 --> 1:09:56.559
<v Speaker 2>was kind of hung over and exhausted in the best way.

1:09:56.720 --> 1:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>We did a little morning after brunch at the Archer Hotel. Well,

1:10:00.479 --> 1:10:02.479
<v Speaker 2>I love the debrief the morning after. It's so fun

1:10:02.520 --> 1:10:04.880
<v Speaker 2>to relive everything. And you know what, it's been really

1:10:04.880 --> 1:10:06.719
<v Speaker 2>fun to relive NAPA on this podcast.

1:10:08.000 --> 1:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>But it's only everything we ever wanted. It was everything

1:10:11.320 --> 1:10:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I ever dreamed of, everything you and I ever dreamed

1:10:13.880 --> 1:10:16.599
<v Speaker 1>of everything. Again, I use this word a lot. Everything

1:10:16.680 --> 1:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>was so intentional between us. We had planned it to

1:10:19.840 --> 1:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a tea produced it, if you will, being the TV

1:10:22.120 --> 1:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>people we are, and it came off beautifully.

1:10:25.640 --> 1:10:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't feel more grateful, blessed, not just yeah, I

1:10:30.200 --> 1:10:32.840
<v Speaker 2>had the perfect wedding, but that I got to marry you, well,

1:10:33.280 --> 1:10:37.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, the beauty.

1:10:36.800 --> 1:10:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I think of that wedding had a lot to do with. Yes,

1:10:40.000 --> 1:10:41.680
<v Speaker 1>we're in Napa and the wine and the food and

1:10:41.720 --> 1:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the people and all that. But we talk about this

1:10:44.360 --> 1:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot seasons of life, and we are in a

1:10:47.720 --> 1:10:52.479
<v Speaker 1>blessed season in our life where everybody's healthy, which is huge,

1:10:53.080 --> 1:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody's happy, everybody's good. And when you were in this

1:10:58.760 --> 1:11:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a season, the season's this will not last. Bad things

1:11:02.120 --> 1:11:04.800
<v Speaker 1>and shame things are going to change. That's inevitable. Life

1:11:04.800 --> 1:11:08.320
<v Speaker 1>is inevitable. It comes at you. So to embrace all

1:11:08.360 --> 1:11:11.679
<v Speaker 1>of this happening, our wedding and our marriage coming together

1:11:11.720 --> 1:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>in a great season that was beautiful and it was

1:11:16.280 --> 1:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>not lost on us, and it made us even more

1:11:18.200 --> 1:11:22.040
<v Speaker 1>emotional to respect that and enjoy it because it's fleeting

1:11:22.240 --> 1:11:24.599
<v Speaker 1>and it won't always be that way, so we will

1:11:24.600 --> 1:11:25.639
<v Speaker 1>always have that memory.

1:11:25.800 --> 1:11:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel so lucky. We got everything we wanted, and

1:11:28.360 --> 1:11:32.640
<v Speaker 2>I feel luckiest to have you. And the thing is,

1:11:32.720 --> 1:11:35.320
<v Speaker 2>as much as we've loved to reliving this, it's only

1:11:35.400 --> 1:11:38.439
<v Speaker 2>just begun because we haven't even gotten to Austin and

1:11:39.240 --> 1:11:42.959
<v Speaker 2>Austin was a lot more spicy, yes, a lot more ragy,

1:11:43.320 --> 1:11:46.040
<v Speaker 2>and a lot more dramatic, so we will get into

1:11:46.120 --> 1:11:47.920
<v Speaker 2>it all. Wedding number two.

1:11:48.640 --> 1:11:51.760
