<v Speaker 3>to twenty twenty one when this story hits.

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 2>So at one point, though, what year did he start?

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Twenty fifteen for number one and twenty sixteen for number two.

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.240
<v Speaker 3>He's strung um both along for five and six years.

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so he just like laid the groundwork with the

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 2>first one when he felt like she could this could

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 2>go on autopilot.

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Then he went to the next. He's apparently a fast

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 3>mover and a slow mover at the same time. So

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.559
<v Speaker 3>at one point, the dude he takes girlfriend number two

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 3>to girlfriend number one's house. She's not home, of course, right,

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 3>that would be weird.

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.959
<v Speaker 2>Elizabeth, Well, I mean I don't know they so they

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 2>let's establish the girlfriends don't know about each other.

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 3>No, they not know about each other.

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean because I don't know how some people want

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, some people.

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Roll that like that. But anyway, she's at work, and

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 3>so he takes girlfriend number two around the house for it,

0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 3>gives her tour of the home and it get this.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.319
<v Speaker 3>He tells her it's his house or no, it's about

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 3>to be his house, right, And she's like, oh baby,

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 3>this is great now. I bet you can start to

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 3>hear the dateline music start to play in your head.

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean about to be his house?

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 5>Right?

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Dah?

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 3>But I will I promise you the story is not

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 3>going to turn dark and bloody. You know this is

0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 3>We're keeping this one in ninety nine percent.

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Murder fat, don't worry.

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:19.959
<v Speaker 3>You want me to tell you nothing bad happens to

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 3>girlfrid number two a number one in that way.

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but he's still a sick o exactly.

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 3>He's still got Joe Marcus and there waiting.

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Around the other woman's house. Are you kidding me?

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.680
<v Speaker 3>So back to Joe, I'm sorry, did you say Marcus Brown?

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 3>After he showed girlfriend number two the home of girlfriend

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 3>number one. He told her it was his house. He's like, Yo,

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 3>we're about to be his house. He goes bigger. He's like,

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 3>you know you should move in with me, baby, stop it. Yeah.

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 3>She was like, for real, because I'm gonna go home

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 3>and pack up all my stuff right, And he's like, oh,

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 3>for real, for really, you need to come and she's

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 3>like okay, And so she goes home, She packs up

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 3>all of her stuff, she disassembles her furniture, she gives

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 3>notice on her place. She's out there, she schedules moving days.

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 3>She's out there moving day waiting for the truck to

0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 3>show up, Elizabeth. The truck never showed up. The day

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 3>of the move. Marcus called her and tells her, baby, Baby,

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 3>I got bad news. The deal fell through on the house.

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.600
<v Speaker 3>And she's like, what do you mean fell through? What deal?

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was your home? And so somehow she

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 3>skips past this, and if you can believe it, despite

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 3>that little hiccup in their love story, she stayed with

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 3>her man. She loved Marcus. Elizabeth. They've been together since

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 3>twenty sixteen and we're now we're in twenty twenty one.

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 3>That's five solid years. Meanwhile, girlfriend number one. She'd been

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 3>with her man Joe since twenty fifteen. Of course, right.

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 3>She knows nothing about the proposed move in of girlfriend

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 3>number two. Like I said, they weren't kinky like that,

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 3>she went into polyamory, nothing like that. She was just

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 3>living her best life with her man Joe. Now one

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 3>day she gets this itch though, this nagging little voice

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 3>that tells her that Joe may be playing around. I

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 3>don't know why, but she got.

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 2>The idea Usten.

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 3>But she didn't have any proof, right, So she's like you,

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.440
<v Speaker 3>so what do you think she does? She's like, I

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.559
<v Speaker 3>can't come at them with no evidence, so she hops

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:52.320
<v Speaker 3>on Facebook.

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't get on Facebook, but I will find the information.

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 3>That's what I mean. She was like an Internet special investigator, right,

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 3>one of your people, Elizabeth, I don't know. After like

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 3>seventeen minutes of Facebook sleuthing, she finds her evidence. And

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 3>what do you think that evidence was?

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 2>His Facebook base?

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Every friendly on the post she saw a photo of

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 3>girlfriend number two. Okay, and girlfriend number two was wearing

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 3>an engagement ring and a wedding band that looked nearly

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 3>identical to her own.

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 2>And a wedding band. Yeah wait, that looked it. Yeah,

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 2>did he give her a wedding band?

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. She was one of two rings In fact, Nope,

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 3>it was her engagement ring and her wedding band.

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.679
<v Speaker 2>So he was engaged number one.

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 3>No, you're about to find out.

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm so lost.

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, he was engaged in number one and engaged number two.

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 3>The ring that he given to number two was a

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 3>ring that number one had from her previous marriage. Thus

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 3>the wedding band messy. So he stolen her ring and

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 3>used it to propose to girlfriend number two, wedding band

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 3>and all. She's like, whatever, here's two rings. You're like

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 3>that is better than one. So girlfriend number one she

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 3>runs checks or jewelry box. Indeed, the ring is missing.

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 3>It is her ring, so she now has proof. Right,

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 3>so she her man Joe Brown has given it to

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 3>girlfriend number two. So what is she gonna do with

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 3>the evidence. Is she gonna go to him? No, she's smart.

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 3>She doesn't go directly to old good for nothing Joe.

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 3>She also doesn't go off full reality TV star. She

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 3>doesn't things like a human being and like an adult Elizabeth.

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 3>She plans to get revenge. Right, she goes. She contacts

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 3>girlfriend number two on Facebook. She calmly explains the situation

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 3>to girl friend number two that they engage her ring

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 3>and the wedding band on her finger belonged to her

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 3>and so then also, by the way, the man that

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.439
<v Speaker 3>she is engaged to is also engaged to her. Therefore

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 3>they are both engaged to the worthless, lying, trifling, no

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 3>good bum that would steal a wedding ring.

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:40.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 3>She's like, that is bad news to hear, right. Girlfriend

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 3>number two listens like I said, She's like, you mean,

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 3>so you're telling me Marcus is engaged to you. She's like, no, no, Joe.

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 3>And they eventually they figured out Joe as Marcus Marcus

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 3>as Joe, and they got everything all sorted out and

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 3>they confirmed they are indeed in both engaged to the Mary.

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.679
<v Speaker 3>This same guy, jarkis George. Yeah, jarkis. Now for number one,

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 3>she tells girlfriend number two, you should probably go check

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 3>your stuff make sure he hasn't stolen any of your stuff.

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for number three, that's a good point.

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 3>So she runs, she checks her stuff and good old

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.199
<v Speaker 3>good for nothing Joe had indeed rob from her too.

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, So she then girlfriend uh number two ask

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 3>girl forrid number one, do you live in Orange City,

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 3>and then she says the address of the house that

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Marcus took her to, and she's like, yeah, that's my house.

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 3>And girlfriend too is like I knew it. I knew

<v Speaker 3>that low down lazy ass had taken me to he

<v Speaker 3>had the nerve to take me to someone else's house.

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 3>So they go back and forth. No, you're looking at

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 3>me a little strange. Yeah, you hear Orange City and

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 3>you may be wondering, Saren, did this happen in Florida?

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:40.640

<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes he did. Eliza Florida going to Florida, right,

<v Speaker 3>So anyway, equally incense. These two women, these two score

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 3>and women, they're about to drop their wrath and so

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 3>they decide let's team up on them, so they get

<v Speaker 2>that took place in the same year, but no connection. Wow,

<v Speaker 2>we're always on this weird wavelength.

0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:22.679

<v Speaker 3>he lives in or owned at the time sixteen thousand

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 3>square feet.

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Wow, this is huge compound.

0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Had a grand ballroom but not just that, had a dance.

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Studio, he's five six.

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 3>It had a movie theater.

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow.

0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 3>It had a two lane bowling alley. It had a

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:53.000
<v Speaker 3>two story gentleman's bar. Wait, gentleman's bar like with lots

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 3>of wood, yes, exactly, but but more wood. It had

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.879
<v Speaker 3>an elevator because why not lighted tennis court if you're

0:19:59.880 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 3>in to that, like nighttime.

0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Tennis, that'd be fun night time tennis.

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 3>New one. But there's also a huge pool in hot tub,

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 3>because you got to have a huge pool in hot tub,

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.679
<v Speaker 3>long rolling lawns, gardens everywhere. You would have loved it, right,

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 3>little ponds with scenic walkways and get this. There was

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 3>also like an entrance trail that leads to the house,

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.320
<v Speaker 3>super long entrance traiale. The home boasts all these stained

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 3>glass windows. You would love it. Twenty nineteen, the home

0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 3>was listed for sale for five points seven million dollars

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.920
<v Speaker 3>just seal. Nowadays, I think that same house is a

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 3>few years later post pandemic would be I think ten

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 3>trillion dollars. I think, because I didn't look it up.

0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.640
<v Speaker 2>But he goes much mill I don't know. I won't

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.119
<v Speaker 2>get you that. In California, you.

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 3>Know, you get a three bedroom home right in and

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:41.360
<v Speaker 3>see you.

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Know, you get a cute little bungalow exactly.

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 3>So this dude, Nathan, he buys his mansion with his

0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 3>father's millions because his father made all of his money

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:53.919
<v Speaker 3>as an early in franchisee with IHOP. Oh yeah, now

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 3>do you see what an international pancakes for?

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:57.919
<v Speaker 2>Ye yes, I mean here we're cracking up about the

0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 2>home price and I'm laughing in home rentershit.

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.119
<v Speaker 3>Both of us. Anyway, one day, this guy he dropped

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 3>by the Finkel mansion, right, and he was there to

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.160
<v Speaker 3>attend an open house because the house was being listed

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:11.400
<v Speaker 3>for sale. Right. So he's having this open house having

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 3>people come through and say, oh do you want to

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 3>look at my two story gentlemen, bar this could be

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.439
<v Speaker 3>yours right right? And then he acted this guy who

0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 3>stopped by in the house. He acted like a prospective buyer.

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 3>He took the tour of the home, the surrounding grounds,

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 3>whatever he saw. It just stuck with him because he decides,

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:30.200
<v Speaker 3>I want to get married here, right. So a few

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.680
<v Speaker 3>months later he phones the family. He's like, finkeels, Hi,

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 3>I came buy the house a couple months back. I

0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:36.840
<v Speaker 3>was wondering, would you mind if like one hundred and

0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:39.240
<v Speaker 3>fifty or so of my friends and family used your

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 3>mansion for a weekend wedding. What do you say?

0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Huh? Well, I mean there are people who rent their

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 2>homes out totally, a.

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.639
<v Speaker 3>Lot of them right, especially out here in California, but

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:49.479
<v Speaker 3>they can't afford their homes, so they're like, help us

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 3>afford the home. So anyway, Finko reportedly listened to the

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 3>man's wedding plans. He's like, oh, you want to use

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the house? Okay? And how many one hundred and fifty people?

0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 3>And he's like absolutely not, No, don't ever come your

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.960
<v Speaker 3>hair again, No, don't call me right. So the groom,

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 3>though Elizabeth undaunted. He's like, this is just a mere

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.920
<v Speaker 3>stumbling block, a speed bump, if you will, on the

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.440
<v Speaker 3>road of my dreams. A dream had been born that day, Elizabeth,

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:15.040
<v Speaker 3>when he took that tour. He had to take his

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:19.400
<v Speaker 3>wedding there. He could be anything else to be unsatisfactory, right,

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:21.359
<v Speaker 3>I mean you got to see this place. Look at

0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 3>this place. Wouldn't you want to get married here if

0:22:23.320 --> 0:22:27.720
<v Speaker 3>you were into unchecked opulence and gagging displays of wealth? Like,

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 3>how would you describe this home? It's just it looks

0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 3>like something somebody like.

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 2>If a mcm was like tumorous and then just kept

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:42.720
<v Speaker 2>expanding and carbuncles? What is the what in the whatting glass? Like?

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Just it's huge, right, it looks.

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Like a dreams because here's the thing, like, how many

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:49.720
<v Speaker 2>people are living in this house?

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:54.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I think there's only a family, Yeah, exactly.

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:56.920
<v Speaker 2>And this you think of all the people that could

0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 2>be housed in this complex, it's like the size of

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:02.679
<v Speaker 2>a hotel. This is such waste. This is why we

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:06.200
<v Speaker 2>this is why I can't have nice that home.

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.920
<v Speaker 3>You just need to start, you know, an I hot franchise.

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 2>This is so ostentatious and it's so it's just wasteful.

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, insane, right, but.

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Because think about the heating like HVAC for that, or

0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 2>the lights, the water bill.

0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:24.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, good point. In Florida, it's muggy, so you're

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:25.919
<v Speaker 3>running air conditioning twenty four to.

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Seven sometimes, and you've got you've got the pool. And

0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 2>think of all the maintenance people, like they're not cleaning

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:33.719
<v Speaker 2>their own house. They have housem while they are like

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 2>supporting the economy. I suppose God the cost of that.

0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I wonder he's moving well.

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:43.199
<v Speaker 3>Cut to April seventeenth, twenty twenty one. The bride and

0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:47.200
<v Speaker 3>groom have opted for an early afternoon wedding. They've selected

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:49.439
<v Speaker 3>three thirty PM as the time for their wedding. The

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 3>invitations they send out tell their guests to please join

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:55.119
<v Speaker 3>them at the Wilson's Estate, which is the name of

0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.479
<v Speaker 3>the groom and soon to be the bride. They casually

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 3>referred to this as their home right, so as it reads,

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.760
<v Speaker 3>it is quote, it is our honor to welcome you

0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:07.120
<v Speaker 3>into our dream home and estate to share this special

0:24:07.119 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 3>occasion with us. We are excited to celebrate our wedding

0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 3>night with you and look forward to a wonderful evening

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 3>of celebration, exquisite feast and dancing at our royal extravaganza.

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like royal medieval celebrate our wedding night with you, Like,

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 2>whoa up here? I'm there for the ceremony of the

0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 2>reception that I am out?

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, which one of us is the lord of this land?

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 3>So the wedding invitation brought, Elizabeth. They promise that following

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 3>the ceremony, guess would be ushered inside for quote a

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 3>red carpet cocktail hour. Whatever that is.

0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, and think about it, like if you know this person,

0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Like if a friend of mine gave me this invitation

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 2>like this and said it are at our home, and

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:52.439
<v Speaker 2>be like, who are you fooling? Like I don't know

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 2>any of them who lives in a house? Like that.

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 3>You secret, Elizabeth when the lottery didn't tell me. So this,

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 3>by the way, after the red carpet cocktail hour, that

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.600
<v Speaker 3>would be followed by a reception proper and the party

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:07.920
<v Speaker 3>would keep on rocking until two thirty in the morning.

0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:10.399
<v Speaker 3>So don't come a knocking. But that wasn't the end

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:13.080
<v Speaker 3>of the party, no, sir, because guests were invited back

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 3>to the Wilson's estate. The next day, for quote a

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:19.920
<v Speaker 3>wonderful Sunday brunch that would feature and I quote delicacies

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:23.720
<v Speaker 3>from our renowned chef on our resort style pool, while

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.399
<v Speaker 3>being entertained by the sounds of a live jazz band.

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.320
<v Speaker 2>The reason why no one's like, how did you kiddl.

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:34.160
<v Speaker 3>You guys can could afford a jazz band. So the

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 3>reason why the soon to be Wilson's were going out

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:38.399
<v Speaker 3>all out on their big day was that they wanted

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 3>to mark the specialness of their love story. You see, Elizabeth,

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:43.640
<v Speaker 3>the soon to be newlyweds, they met back in high school.

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 3>They were in the same graduating class. Both were jocks.

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 3>She was quote very focused on pursuing her dreams of

0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:51.879
<v Speaker 3>a college scholarship, and he was a football player and

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:54.440
<v Speaker 3>something of a bad boy. So, you know, their roads

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 3>diverged in the woods, and over time, these two crazy kids,

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:01.120
<v Speaker 3>they drift apart, They lose track inside of you each other. However,

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 3>fate stepped in, played a hand, and thirty years later

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 3>they're now in their late forties. Somehow, some way, they

0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 3>found each other again. Sarendipity, Elizabeth. They called it, quote

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 3>the Lord's plan now to bring the soon to be

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 3>newlyweds back together, to quote the couple. Nevertheless, as fate

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:21.359
<v Speaker 3>would have it, we were divinely reconnected after thirty years.

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:23.639
<v Speaker 3>I had just ended a five years relationship and he

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:27.600
<v Speaker 3>a twenty year marriage. Now, God truly works in mysterious ways.

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Listening, judging. He's out here finaggling relationships.

0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 3>It's remarkable, it's amazing. And then there's a little thing

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.200
<v Speaker 3>called a pandemic that offered up a speed bump to

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:39.679
<v Speaker 3>their relationship in God's plans, but it didn't prevent their

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 3>love from growing and deepening. Finally, on Christmas Eve twenty twenty,

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:46.960
<v Speaker 3>he proposed to her. As she recalled in the wedding invitation,

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:49.520
<v Speaker 3>he took me and the children out riding to see

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Christmas lights when we stopped for pizza at al Capone's

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 3>on Hollywood Beach.

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Stop the invitation.

0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, but it gets better, Elizabeth. She goes on to say,

0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:00.360
<v Speaker 3>he asked me to take a photo with him. Well,

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 3>he was secretly planning to propose in the snapshot. What

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:06.200
<v Speaker 3>a magical moment. You're there in the al Capone's Pizza

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:07.720
<v Speaker 3>place in Hollywood Beach, Florida.

0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Was wonderful.

0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 3>God had more and sore for them.

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 2>It's not even just that he proposed in the Alky

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:20.919
<v Speaker 2>Pizza in Hollywood, Florida. She puts the story in the wedding.

0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, but that's not all. There's more going down

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:28.879
<v Speaker 3>in the al Capone's Pizza I need because they're in

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:32.399
<v Speaker 3>the al Capone's Pizza place in Hollywood Beach, Florida. God

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.080
<v Speaker 3>spoke to them, you see. According to the couple, that

0:27:35.200 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 3>was the moment when quote the Lord had revealed to

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.439
<v Speaker 3>me the purpose of our encounter and answer to my prayer.

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:43.760
<v Speaker 3>All that was left to do now was for the

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:48.120
<v Speaker 3>couple to get married. So when he asked him, Finkel

0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 3>had said, no, they couldn't use his mansion as a

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 3>backdrop for their sainted.

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:55.639
<v Speaker 2>Lovers, even if the event catered by Alcone Pizza. And

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:58.359
<v Speaker 2>I'll let you be there like al Capone.

0:27:58.440 --> 0:28:00.359
<v Speaker 3>Are you sure? Have you tried it in Hollywood Beach?

0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:03.640
<v Speaker 3>But that cat Finkle, he didn't understand. Like the Blues Brothers,

0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 3>this couple was on a mission from God and they

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:08.840
<v Speaker 3>were going to get married at this mansion. Whether he

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 3>liked it.

0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Or not is certainly God and like it is Christ's

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:15.880
<v Speaker 2>like behavior to steal someone's home, very Christ.

0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Like he was known for that and walking on water.

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 3>It's like the two things. So I don't know if

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:22.320
<v Speaker 3>that was part of the plan God revealed to them

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:25.159
<v Speaker 3>and al Capone's pizza place in Hollywood Beach, Florida, it

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:27.439
<v Speaker 3>might have been. I wasn't there. Anyway, The couple plans

0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:30.200
<v Speaker 3>their wedding, Then they arranged catering. They hired the live

0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:33.480
<v Speaker 3>jazz band I imagine or whatever. Then lastly, they invite

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:35.359
<v Speaker 3>all their friends and family to join them at the

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 3>finkel Mansion or say the Wilson's Mistakes for their big day.

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Now smash cut to the morning of the ceremony. The

0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 3>groom and his bride arrive at the Finkele Mansion. I

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.000
<v Speaker 3>guess they planned to prepare the site for their wedding,

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 3>but they were surprised to find that the house, although

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:52.320
<v Speaker 3>listed for sale, was not unoccupied, not like the groom

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 3>had hoped. Instead, someone was home, and that's someone was

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 3>the home owner. Oh No, Most importantly, he had not

0:28:57.600 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 3>heard anything from God about this wedding. So let's go

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 3>there now, Elizabeth, Oh, Elizabeth, I'd like you to close

0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 3>your eyes. Picture is It's a lovely April day in Florida.

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 3>There's a slight onshore breeze that's blowing the fragrance of

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 3>flowers through the air. There's that soft throb of insects

0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 3>in the distance. Occasionally a seabird takes wing and flies

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 3>up into the sky, which at the moment is a

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 3>light blue. But since it's floored, the skies and the

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:24.240
<v Speaker 3>weather could change in any moments, so don't get too

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 3>attached to it. But right now it's an idyllic April morning.

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 3>You are in the town of Southwest Ranches. This Miami

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 3>suburb is located north and east of the sprawling city.

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 3>It's up there on the eastern edge of the Everglades

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.840
<v Speaker 3>where the land once again turns sandy and dry. It's

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.760
<v Speaker 3>called Southwest Ranches to honor the many horse ranches in

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:44.680
<v Speaker 3>the area. There are countless equestrian trails that run throughout

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:48.880
<v Speaker 3>the suburban, semi rural yet upscale development. It's a relatively newtown,

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 3>by the way, It was incorporated in two thousand, if

0:29:50.920 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 3>you were wondering, Oh, that's when the people elected their

0:29:53.160 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 3>first town council, led by Mayor Fink. That's Mayor Mecca Fink,

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.480
<v Speaker 3>along with Vice Mayor Dollar that's Johnny Dollar like the

0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 3>old RADI show. The other council members are Astor Knight,

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 3>Forrest Blanton, and Freddie Phisickelli. These names right, they sound

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 3>like it was founded, but it was written for a

0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:12.680
<v Speaker 3>mystery novel in Florida total. Anyway, Southwest Ranches is a

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Florida development, if ever there were one, and also for

0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:17.800
<v Speaker 3>such a small area in a rural place, the town

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:20.719
<v Speaker 3>boasts a very super interesting list of notable people on

0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 3>its Wikipedia page. For instance, there are a number of

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:26.920
<v Speaker 3>former and current NFL stars who live there, like your

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 3>man Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins, also former Indianapolis

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Cults great Reggie Wayne and former Minnesota Viking quarterback Dante Culpepper,

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 3>but also the Rock Dwane Johnson, and perhaps most notably,

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 3>the former television psychic Miss Cleo.

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Wait so the Rock and Miss Cleo.

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Also, all of these people have called Southwest Ranches home

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 3>at one time or another, and at the moment, so

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 3>do you. Because you are a bright white bird, the

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 3>western cattle egret, you are a type of heron. You're

0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 3>a white feather, but you also have brilliant yellow feathers

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 3>for your plumage stock. The fields and streams of Florida,

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:04.480
<v Speaker 3>picking off insects between the hoofs of the cattle as

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 3>they graze, or you hop up on their backs and

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 3>nab ticks from their hides. You migrated to Southwest ranches

0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:12.400
<v Speaker 3>from your old home and the dry tortugas off the

0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 3>coast of Florida. The cattle here are good for a

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 3>steady diet of bugs and grubs. Anyway, you're presently standing

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 3>on the back of a cow as the gentle beast

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 3>grazes at the fence line. Standing there just across the

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:25.080
<v Speaker 3>street from the gate to the Finkle Mansion. You are

0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 3>not picking ticks at the moment, though, because you have

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:29.680
<v Speaker 3>a show. A car pulls up and a man in

0:31:29.760 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 3>a rented tuxedo and a woman in a wedding dress

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 3>get out. The man tells his bride to wait at

0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:35.880
<v Speaker 3>the gate. She sits on the hood of the car

0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 3>while he attempts to pry open the tall gates to

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:41.560
<v Speaker 3>stand guard at the driveway or the Finkle mansion. You're like,

0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:44.760
<v Speaker 3>what is going on here? The Finkel Mansion is one

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 3>of the most impressive spreads in the area. The place

0:31:46.960 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 3>has great bugs, and today it also offers up a

0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 3>great show. You watches the groom tries to figure out

0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 3>a way to pry open the gates. You have serious

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 3>doubts he can do this. Then so does the bride,

0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 3>it seems anyway. You spy a golf cart approaching from

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 3>the main house. Oh man, man, it's about to get good.

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:03.560
<v Speaker 3>The tuxedoed groom is still attempting to open the gate.

0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:05.880
<v Speaker 3>He's got a screwdriver and he's shoved it between the

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:08.080
<v Speaker 3>two tall iron doors of the gate, and he's trying

0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 3>to force the lock open by hand. The wannabe groom

0:32:11.760 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 3>pauses when he and the bride both spot the golf

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:15.880
<v Speaker 3>cart bearing down on them from the other side of

0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 3>the gate. You spread your wings and take a quick

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 3>few flaps, you know, just to get a better view

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 3>and to be able to hear everything. Because it's about

0:32:22.440 --> 0:32:24.000
<v Speaker 3>it get so good. You land on the fence that

0:32:24.080 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 3>runs alongside the gate. The golf cart pulls to a

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 3>squealing stop. A late middled age man hops out. He's

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 3>dressed in white slacks, a golf shirt, and a sweater.

0:32:31.800 --> 0:32:33.960
<v Speaker 3>He looks like a character from like a nineteen sixty

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:38.480
<v Speaker 3>sitcom about the wealthy. The tuxedoed groom greets him, good afternoon, sir.

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Just what do you think you're doing? The man replies

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 3>his words, they come hot and fast, getting married today.

0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:47.840
<v Speaker 3>It's a blessed day. The man answers, what about you?

0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:50.200
<v Speaker 3>I own this place, This is my home. What do

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 3>you mean today?

0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:51.720
<v Speaker 2>If it's today?

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:53.200
<v Speaker 3>What are you two doing out here? You shouldn't you

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:55.880
<v Speaker 3>be in a church? The homeowner shouts back to the gate,

0:32:56.040 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 3>We say where, we're getting married here? The wannabee groom

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 3>helpfully planes the homeowner. He may be dressed soft, but

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:05.760
<v Speaker 3>he talks tough wear here here, here, No, no, no,

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 3>you two are not getting married here. This is a

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 3>private residence. You are loving this. This is like a

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Fellini film set in Florida. The groom responds, His voice

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 3>is calm, almost too calm. No, you see, we are

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 3>getting married here today. We didn't think you were home.

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:20.840
<v Speaker 3>Would have been much easier if you weren't here. But

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.800
<v Speaker 3>if you'd like, we'd love to have you join our wedding.

0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:26.320
<v Speaker 3>The golf lover, he looks at the bride on the

0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:28.640
<v Speaker 3>hood of the car. Is he high? What's he talking about?

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 3>If you could laugh, you would, but instead you just

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 3>got a bird chuckle to yourself, and the homeowner says,

0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 3>you and people need to leave, and the groom he

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:38.440
<v Speaker 3>ain't hearing it. He just says, no, you see, you

0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:42.480
<v Speaker 3>don't understand. It was God's message that we be married here.

0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 3>God spoke unto me and he said, I don't give

0:33:45.880 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 3>a tanker's damn what God said. I'm calling nine to

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 3>one one. Homeowner shouts back, and with that he whips

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 3>out his phone and indeed phones nine to one one

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 3>operator answers. Homeowner tells the emergency operator. Yeah, hello, I

0:33:57.440 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 3>have people trespassing on by property. They keep harassed. They're

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 3>saying there they're having a wedding here, and it's God's

0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:04.840
<v Speaker 3>message and I don't know what's going on. All I

0:34:04.880 --> 0:34:07.479
<v Speaker 3>want is to stop. And they're sitting at my property

0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:09.399
<v Speaker 3>right here at the front gate. Yes, right now, please

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:11.920
<v Speaker 3>send police. You flap your wings again, lift up and

0:34:11.920 --> 0:34:13.640
<v Speaker 3>then gently land on the other side of the gate.

0:34:13.840 --> 0:34:15.879
<v Speaker 3>You gaze down at the wannabe groom. You look over

0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 3>at the bride. You look back the groom. He should

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 3>be embarrassed or annoyed something. Instead he's just smiling. He

0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:23.919
<v Speaker 3>looks back. You'll see it's God's plan that we're gonna

0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 3>be married here. You'll see. Don't you worry, baby, We're

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:29.640
<v Speaker 3>getting married here now soon enough patrol car rides. Two

0:34:29.680 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 3>officers step out, have to tell the wannabe groom and

0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:35.319
<v Speaker 3>his wannabe bride they will indeed be no wedding at

0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 3>the final mansion. SI's no, no actual trespassing. Accurd Elizabeth,

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 3>your fraudulent wedding occurred. No charges were filed against the

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:45.360
<v Speaker 3>wannabe groom or his bride. Now, if you're wondering what

0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:47.319
<v Speaker 3>the groom had to say after God fell through for

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:50.439
<v Speaker 3>him and the wedding planning, the Miami Son Sentinel caught

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:53.239
<v Speaker 3>up to the disappointed groom and a reporter asked him

0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:55.879
<v Speaker 3>for comment. He said, and I quote, I don't want

0:34:55.880 --> 0:34:59.799
<v Speaker 3>to talk about it. The Miami Son Sentinel. They also

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:02.320
<v Speaker 3>followed up in the couple's nuptial plans the courting to

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 3>the Broward County Public records, there was a marriage license

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:08.120
<v Speaker 3>issued to the couple for that wedding weekend, but the

0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:11.160
<v Speaker 3>following weekend there was no registration of a marriage So

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:12.840
<v Speaker 3>speed bumping anyway?

0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:13.359
<v Speaker 2>Does she know?

0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:13.719
<v Speaker 3>It?

0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like she didn't know that it didn't.

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:19.480
<v Speaker 3>I think she knew that's a little maybe they were

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 3>waiting a new venue from their divine wedding planner. I

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 3>don't know what's going down, but anyway, let's take her

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:27.240
<v Speaker 3>a little break and I'll be back with another wedding tale.

0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 3>This one will melt your mind. I swear to God,

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:53.720
<v Speaker 3>because this time it's the bride who gets stolen. Elizabeth Zaren,

0:35:53.760 --> 0:35:54.200
<v Speaker 3>We're back.

0:35:54.400 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Hi.

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 3>I almost didn't tell you this one. Oh yeah. I

0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:00.759
<v Speaker 3>was like, is this story too insane? He driving miss

0:36:00.880 --> 0:36:02.160
<v Speaker 3>daisies for even Elizabeth?

0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Really?

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah? And then I thought, well, what would Elizabeth say?

0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:06.919
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, oh, she would say who knows?

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Who cares?

0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:09.960
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh, I'm doing it, so buckle up, Buttercup.

0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:12.600
<v Speaker 3>It's about it all kinds of weird. All right, here's

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:15.680
<v Speaker 3>the headline. I'll just tell you the headline. I was stolen,

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 3>so my real dad and my abductor walked me down

0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 3>the aisle. I.

0:36:21.480 --> 0:36:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'm breaking it down right now. Give me a second.

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, doing the math on that one happened? Yeah, that's

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 3>one too many dads, so I can pay in the aisle.

0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:31.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm stuck on. I was stolen, Yes, that's what we

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:31.560
<v Speaker 2>call it.

0:36:31.600 --> 0:36:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and the abductor being invited to the wedding. Anyway,

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:35.960
<v Speaker 3>So the story goes, this bride wanted the husband of

0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 3>the woman who abducted her as a baby to be

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:40.439
<v Speaker 3>able to walk her down the aisle because he'd raised

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:41.319
<v Speaker 3>her and he was a good.

0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Father husband of the woman who her Okay, yeah.

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 3>He raised her as he basically was her father as

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 3>far as she knew for all.

0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.080
<v Speaker 2>And he didn't did he know she was abducted?

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:53.439
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't shut from the news stories. I would find

0:36:53.480 --> 0:36:55.440
<v Speaker 3>it hard to believe he didn't know, Like, how is

0:36:55.440 --> 0:36:57.279
<v Speaker 3>it that your wife is not pregnant and suddenly she

0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:58.520
<v Speaker 3>comes home with a baby.

0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he was like his daughter, Maybe he thought.

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:04.000
<v Speaker 3>That maybe he was working on an oil Derek and

0:37:04.080 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 3>he came home nine months later.

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Were they married when she abducted the kid? Because something

0:37:09.120 --> 0:37:10.600
<v Speaker 2>in like what if she abducted them? And then a

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:13.720
<v Speaker 2>year later is like good point he meets and marries

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:14.800
<v Speaker 2>him and he has no clue.

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Well I'll tell you this much. Okay, she the daughter

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 3>wanted him there, so we're just going off. So yeah,

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:21.839
<v Speaker 3>well yeah, anyway, this isn't old news. This is from

0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty three. Oh yeah, and this happened in South Africa.

0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:29.120
<v Speaker 3>The bride's name is Mika Zephanie Sheldon. I love that name,

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Zephanie Zephanie. Anyway. She's twenty six at the time and

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:35.720
<v Speaker 3>from Cape Town. She selected an autumn wedding for herself.

0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:40.440
<v Speaker 3>They were to be married on March twenty first, a Hemisphere. Yes, okay.

0:37:40.920 --> 0:37:43.239
<v Speaker 3>She'd been involved in a long term relationship before. She

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:45.319
<v Speaker 3>had two kids, a girl and a boy, but the

0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:48.200
<v Speaker 3>couple split up. Then some time passed, she meets this

0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:51.160
<v Speaker 3>guy named Justin. He's a teacher. The two met at church.

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:53.600
<v Speaker 3>They hit it off. He's kind, he's loving, He's like

0:37:53.680 --> 0:37:55.560
<v Speaker 3>no one she's known before. He's phenomenal. They date for

0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:58.959
<v Speaker 3>two years. They decided to get married. Now he knew

0:37:59.000 --> 0:38:01.000
<v Speaker 3>that there'd be issues before wedding, but he'd always been

0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:03.520
<v Speaker 3>very supportive and he knew her story. She'd shared with

0:38:03.600 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 3>him about her abduction as a newborn, so he knew

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:09.880
<v Speaker 3>the whole deal. Anyway, about that, About the abduction the

0:38:09.880 --> 0:38:13.000
<v Speaker 3>story here. Sheldon was born April twenty seven, nineteen ninety seven.

0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Three days later, she was stolen from her hospital crib,

0:38:15.960 --> 0:38:17.960
<v Speaker 3>spirit away from the maternity ward right. The woman who

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 3>stole her was his named LaVona Solomon. She was unable

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:23.719
<v Speaker 3>to get pregnant. She ate away at her till one

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:25.800
<v Speaker 3>day she was willing to do something desperate and cruel

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:28.000
<v Speaker 3>to make her dreams of motherhood come true. Right, So

0:38:28.040 --> 0:38:30.640
<v Speaker 3>she goes in. She sneaks and dressed as a nurse,

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:34.960
<v Speaker 3>she steals another woman's child, another mother's child, and actually

0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:37.359
<v Speaker 3>just a mother's child, and raises this so as her own,

0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:41.520
<v Speaker 3>right along with her husband Michael. Now that the daughter

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:44.720
<v Speaker 3>never knew, never suspected that she was not their biological child.

0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:46.239
<v Speaker 3>All she ever knew was a loving home.

0:38:46.320 --> 0:38:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Sure, three days old.

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:50.239
<v Speaker 3>Everything's changes when she's in high school. Right, The year

0:38:50.320 --> 0:38:53.240
<v Speaker 3>is twenty fifteen. New student transfers to her high school

0:38:53.280 --> 0:38:56.080
<v Speaker 3>exciting fun girl. Her name's Cassidy. The two girls kind

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:58.080
<v Speaker 3>of look similar, I mean, like real similar. People start

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 3>making comments about it. Eventually, people like the staff like, like,

0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:03.799
<v Speaker 3>there's a social worker schools like I think you two

0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:06.120
<v Speaker 3>may be related. They're like, what are you talking about?

0:39:06.120 --> 0:39:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Like you could be sisters, right, And they're like okay.

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Eventually the social workers like, I can get you a

0:39:09.440 --> 0:39:13.040
<v Speaker 3>DNA test, right, Well, we can run some DNA tests

0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:14.680
<v Speaker 3>and see if you two are related. They do, right,

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 3>and the girls like, yeah, sure, let's do it. They

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:19.520
<v Speaker 3>take the test. It comes back conclusive. They aren't just related,

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 3>They're not cousins. They are sisters, full biological sisters, same parents.

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:27.799
<v Speaker 3>Whoa how could that be? Right before? That's what they're wondering. Right,

0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:29.760
<v Speaker 3>this is the beginning of the end of the big

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:32.480
<v Speaker 3>lie of her life, right. So, and also it's the

0:39:32.520 --> 0:39:35.319
<v Speaker 3>beginning of the Sheldon's new family. So these are the

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:39.160
<v Speaker 3>two sisters. You can see how they would recognize each

0:39:39.160 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 3>other instantly.

0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay.

0:39:41.600 --> 0:39:45.360
<v Speaker 3>So after that, later that same year, February twenty fifteen,

0:39:45.480 --> 0:39:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Sheldon met Cassidy's mom and dad, her mom and dad,

0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:52.360
<v Speaker 3>and it did not go well. Sheldon said, quote, it

0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:54.799
<v Speaker 3>was extremely difficult because you've grown up thinking this is

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 3>your family. I mean, she says this, she means her

0:39:57.080 --> 0:40:00.399
<v Speaker 3>other parents, so the abductors of the bone Michael, So

0:40:00.560 --> 0:40:02.799
<v Speaker 3>she though still felt that they were her parents, like

0:40:02.840 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 3>in her heart of hearts, those are her parents. She's

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:06.400
<v Speaker 3>got these other people are now in her life, and

0:40:06.440 --> 0:40:08.480
<v Speaker 3>she's like, this is weird. So, as she says, and

0:40:08.480 --> 0:40:11.480
<v Speaker 3>I'll put in her words, quote meeting my biological parents,

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:13.880
<v Speaker 3>there wasn't that connection. I was looking for it, but

0:40:13.920 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 3>it just wasn't there. In the beginning. I had been

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:18.920
<v Speaker 3>raised by LaVona and Michael my whole life. Right. So

0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:21.960
<v Speaker 3>time is supposed to heal all wounds, but it sometimes

0:40:22.000 --> 0:40:25.920
<v Speaker 3>it may take more time than a human lifetime will hold. Right. So,

0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Sheldon's birth parents could not forgive nor forget what Sheldon's

0:40:29.520 --> 0:40:32.160
<v Speaker 3>other parents had done all those years ago when they

0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:33.880
<v Speaker 3>stole their child from the hospital, and.

0:40:33.880 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Those years of not knowing what and.

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 3>As as Sheldon blithely put it, both families were just

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:42.760
<v Speaker 3>so harsh with each other. She's trapped in the middle.

0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:46.000
<v Speaker 3>She anyway, she wants to get married and she wants

0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:50.759
<v Speaker 3>both of her families there. That made things super awkward, right,

0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:53.040
<v Speaker 3>And I should point out LaVona, the mother abductor, she

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:56.480
<v Speaker 3>was not invited to the wedding. Sheldon cut her out

0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:58.440
<v Speaker 3>of her life, and after she learned.

0:40:58.200 --> 0:40:59.680
<v Speaker 2>The truth, was she doing time.

0:40:59.840 --> 0:41:02.640
<v Speaker 3>She was arrested, tried, convicted and it was only ten

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:03.200
<v Speaker 3>year sentence.

0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:03.319
<v Speaker 2>OK.

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 3>So she couldn't go to the wedding even she was

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:08.960
<v Speaker 3>invited anyway. The father, Michael, he was free and she

0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:11.520
<v Speaker 3>wanted him at the wedding. So, as Sheldon put it, quote,

0:41:11.600 --> 0:41:13.719
<v Speaker 3>I really had to adjust to having two different dads

0:41:13.719 --> 0:41:15.359
<v Speaker 3>in my life, but I knew i'd want them both

0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:18.279
<v Speaker 3>walking me down the aisle whenever I got married. Now,

0:41:18.560 --> 0:41:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, I do not know how you do that.

0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm just not that forgiving. Like, I'm not

0:41:23.080 --> 0:41:25.000
<v Speaker 3>speaking as her I've never I've never been married. I'm

0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 3>talking as the father. Right, you steal my child. You

0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:29.759
<v Speaker 3>were not invited to their wedding. Yeah, that's just a

0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 3>drowned rule. Like, there's no way I walked down the

0:41:32.680 --> 0:41:35.080
<v Speaker 3>aisle with the man who stole my child, and you're like, yeah,

0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:35.480
<v Speaker 3>this is cool.

0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Was the world pals?

0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean look at us Mader family.

0:41:38.560 --> 0:41:39.320
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:41.800
<v Speaker 3>No, so her biological dad. He looked at things similarly

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:43.319
<v Speaker 3>to how I look at him, and he was like

0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:45.560
<v Speaker 3>hell no, right, she told him, But Daddy, I really

0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:47.560
<v Speaker 3>want you to be there. He's like or whatever she

0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:50.799
<v Speaker 3>called him, He's like, no, I am not into this. Right.

0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:53.799
<v Speaker 3>As Sheldon put it, quote, my biological dad wasn't too

0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:55.920
<v Speaker 3>happy at first, but this day was all about me,

0:41:56.040 --> 0:41:59.479
<v Speaker 3>my relationship with my husband, and eventually he said yes

0:41:59.560 --> 0:42:02.200
<v Speaker 3>for me, it was a miracle, right, So the dude,

0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:05.719
<v Speaker 3>he sucks it up, right, did you do that? No,

0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:07.960
<v Speaker 3>there's no way I could, right, So anyway, so that's

0:42:07.960 --> 0:42:10.000
<v Speaker 3>what they all did. They all swallow down this poison

0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:12.040
<v Speaker 3>of the past. The bride can't be happier about how

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:14.920
<v Speaker 3>it's all playing out, right, Sheldon says, quote, it was

0:42:14.960 --> 0:42:17.359
<v Speaker 3>such a beautiful day. I'm so glad my real dad

0:42:17.400 --> 0:42:20.200
<v Speaker 3>opened to his heart to walk alongside the husband of

0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:23.279
<v Speaker 3>my abductor down the aisle. Right now, if you can

0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:26.160
<v Speaker 3>believe that this saint walking among us, she doesn't even

0:42:26.200 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 3>have hate in her heart for the woman who stole

0:42:28.120 --> 0:42:30.960
<v Speaker 3>her from the hospital, Sheldon said, and I quote, I

0:42:31.000 --> 0:42:33.360
<v Speaker 3>don't see the mom who raised me as criminal and evil.

0:42:33.680 --> 0:42:35.799
<v Speaker 3>Everyone just got hurt the process. We all just need

0:42:35.800 --> 0:42:36.200
<v Speaker 3>to heal.

0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:40.359
<v Speaker 2>She needs she's she's such a she's glossing. She's not

0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:42.600
<v Speaker 2>a saint. She's not processing this properly.

0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:45.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, dude, I thought that reading it. But

0:42:45.480 --> 0:42:47.440
<v Speaker 3>I also think that she's just a better human being

0:42:47.440 --> 0:42:49.600
<v Speaker 3>than I am, because I don't even approximate this level

0:42:49.600 --> 0:42:53.560
<v Speaker 3>of forgiveness. She seems to be legitimately processing it. Maybe

0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:56.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm wrong. I don't know anyway, this whole that thing,

0:42:56.640 --> 0:42:56.880
<v Speaker 3>we just.

0:42:56.920 --> 0:42:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Kind of got hurt, like you were abducted.

0:42:59.360 --> 0:43:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, but she also came from a loving home, so

0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:05.040
<v Speaker 3>she doesn't feel that she was denied something I guess.

0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but if you know that, I mean it's a betrayal.

0:43:07.520 --> 0:43:10.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh totally. It would take me five six, seven lifetimes

0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:13.440
<v Speaker 3>of reincarnation to get close to being able to be

0:43:13.480 --> 0:43:17.200
<v Speaker 3>this forgiven right. I am nowhere near it. I don't

0:43:17.360 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 3>know anyway, micke Zephanie Sheldon. I will say you are

0:43:20.680 --> 0:43:23.320
<v Speaker 3>an inspiration for me. Elizabeth questions you, but whatever, we

0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:24.320
<v Speaker 3>have different opinions.

0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:27.440
<v Speaker 2>If I'm the birth mother, oh my god, I'm just

0:43:27.560 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 2>like outside their house.

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:31.040
<v Speaker 3>I didn't find her in the story. She was not

0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:32.960
<v Speaker 3>mentioned so much. Oh, I don't know what.

0:43:33.080 --> 0:43:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Maybe she has time now too exactly that's where it

0:43:36.120 --> 0:43:36.480
<v Speaker 2>would be.

0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So Sheldon she inspired her two families to mend

0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:43.640
<v Speaker 3>bridges and try to forgive right that that has not

0:43:43.719 --> 0:43:47.120
<v Speaker 3>happened yet, but she's reported yet, quote that the relationship

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:49.800
<v Speaker 3>between my two families is improving. They do get along

0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:52.839
<v Speaker 3>now we've all matured, realized we're a human and are

0:43:52.880 --> 0:43:56.080
<v Speaker 3>finally coming to terms with what happened. We show mutual

0:43:56.120 --> 0:43:58.640
<v Speaker 3>respect to one another, and we're all very understanding.

0:43:59.120 --> 0:44:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, could you know? No, I don't even know.

0:44:04.000 --> 0:44:08.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not I'm not sure like how I would process it, honestly,

0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:10.920
<v Speaker 2>because then you do start to think about how she

0:44:11.120 --> 0:44:13.680
<v Speaker 2>had another standpoint. I loved her in her.

0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:16.759
<v Speaker 3>View, firs standpoint, I get everyone else's. If I was

0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:19.160
<v Speaker 3>not the one who is my wedding and I just

0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:21.800
<v Speaker 3>have I'm just seething in my own emotions, I would

0:44:21.800 --> 0:44:24.960
<v Speaker 3>not be able to rapidly heal, to be able to

0:44:25.000 --> 0:44:26.880
<v Speaker 3>be present for her wedding. I don't know if I

0:44:26.880 --> 0:44:32.399
<v Speaker 3>could do that exactly that. So what's our ridiculous takeaway here?

0:44:33.120 --> 0:44:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Ah yeah, yeay uh. Weddings many bring They bring out

0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:41.640
<v Speaker 2>the worst in a lot of people.

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:44.160
<v Speaker 3>They really do. They bring up a lot of I

0:44:44.200 --> 0:44:47.840
<v Speaker 3>think that's like they ratchet up the tension on people

0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:49.680
<v Speaker 3>and then it causes some things to just spring out.

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:53.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think it's like twofold you have like the

0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:56.719
<v Speaker 2>wedding industrial complex. It's just like everything is is like

0:44:56.760 --> 0:45:01.280
<v Speaker 2>a money grab. And then also it kind of there's

0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:05.640
<v Speaker 2>this this pressure societally that I see that people think

0:45:05.680 --> 0:45:08.960
<v Speaker 2>that they have to do certain things for the ceremony

0:45:09.000 --> 0:45:11.319
<v Speaker 2>and for the reception and for just the trappings of

0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:13.360
<v Speaker 2>it and how you do everything.

0:45:14.360 --> 0:45:15.840
<v Speaker 3>There's a certain capitalist judgment.

0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, and so you have to have it like

0:45:17.920 --> 0:45:20.200
<v Speaker 2>at a country club. You're not country club people like

0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:22.400
<v Speaker 2>you're not you know, you wouldn't normally do this kind

0:45:22.440 --> 0:45:24.640
<v Speaker 2>of thing. So that's you know, it's a lot of

0:45:24.640 --> 0:45:26.960
<v Speaker 2>pressure and it makes people do stupid stuff. But then

0:45:27.000 --> 0:45:29.879
<v Speaker 2>you also have like the whole it's my special day.

0:45:30.400 --> 0:45:34.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not your special bride zell and groups. It's two

0:45:34.680 --> 0:45:38.960
<v Speaker 2>families coming together. It's not your special day that you

0:45:39.000 --> 0:45:41.800
<v Speaker 2>want to be a princess. This isn't Halloween.

0:45:42.120 --> 0:45:44.360
<v Speaker 3>What do you view a wedding as in terms of

0:45:44.440 --> 0:45:45.600
<v Speaker 3>it's not your special day? What is?

0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:47.879
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the celebration of the couple and it's

0:45:47.920 --> 0:45:51.200
<v Speaker 2>two families coming together. Like no, it's an even you know, yeah,

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:51.719
<v Speaker 2>I always.

0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:53.239
<v Speaker 3>Think of it's about the people who are there at

0:45:53.239 --> 0:45:55.279
<v Speaker 3>the wedding more so than the bride. Yeah, because they

0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:55.719
<v Speaker 3>already know.

0:45:55.840 --> 0:45:58.160
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like a gang initiation exactly.

0:45:58.320 --> 0:46:00.920
<v Speaker 3>You're getting jumped into like whatever that is.

0:46:00.960 --> 0:46:03.240
<v Speaker 2>On the other side, you're making a new filly is Saron,

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:05.080
<v Speaker 2>what's your ridiculous takeaway?

0:46:05.400 --> 0:46:08.759
<v Speaker 3>That's it right there, you gang initiation. I like that

0:46:08.800 --> 0:46:11.600
<v Speaker 3>you're getting jumped in. I'm taking that one away. I'm

0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:13.200
<v Speaker 3>gonna start telling people that. It's like, Yo, man, I

0:46:13.239 --> 0:46:15.040
<v Speaker 3>gotta go to this gang initiation. What do you mean

0:46:15.080 --> 0:46:17.239
<v Speaker 3>it's a June gang initiation. I'm trying to pick out

0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:19.840
<v Speaker 3>a suit. What are you talking about? Yeah, it's like

0:46:19.920 --> 0:46:23.880
<v Speaker 3>the friend he made me go. We've known each other forever, agister,

0:46:24.320 --> 0:46:27.279
<v Speaker 3>what are you talking about? Yeah, man, I'm getting jumped in. Well,

0:46:27.320 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 3>he's getting jumped in, but I'm in the way. I'm

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 3>in the jumping party.
