But Elsie, 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: we have still gotten so many questions, and so I thought, 6 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: let's jump back into this and let's take wait, let's 7 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: get married again, Let's have one more.

It was 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: a lot. The silence of this week is very welcome. 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: I'll just say that. 16 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 3: I also, after we'd finished these podcast episodes, I'm going 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 3: to literally have a break of silence and rest my voice. 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 3: So I'm sorry I sound like this, but we're so 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 3: excited to answer your questions and thank you all so 20 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 3: much for caring about our wedding.

He's asking how 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 4: did you guys decide who to invite from Bachelor Nation? 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: So our basic guideline there was who do we talk 29 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: to fairly regularly? Who do we still feel close with? 30 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: I mean, I covered the show for five six years. 31 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 3: You yeah, so you've got a lot. I mean, gosh, 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: when you do the numbers on thirty people per season, 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: that's a. 34 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: Lot of people, over a thousand people. 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 3: So obviously Chris can't keep in touch with everybody, and 36 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: I you know you and I. I also think we're maybe 37 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: a little bit closer with some people because of age, 38 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 3: Like I know, you're really close with Andrew Firestone and 39 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: Bob Guiney because they you were the same age as 40 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 3: them when they were on the show. So we were 41 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 3: just going by who are we still pretty close with, 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 3: Who do we talk to regularly? Who do we have 43 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 3: that history with and keep in touch with regularly. It 44 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: doesn't mean if if we didn't invite people, it doesn't 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 3: mean we have animosity towards them. 46 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: It just might be that we even talked to them 47 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: in a long. 48 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: Time and to me. And this is how I kind 49 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: of tried to separate it, because again I could have 50 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: gone on and on and on, and I started going 51 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: down this rabbit hole, and I think Lauren noticed it 52 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: was really weighing on me. 53 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: We were afraid of missing someone. 54 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't want to hurt anybody. You don't and 55 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: I didn't want to leave anybody out. But at the 56 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: same time, I wanted it to be very special. And 57 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: so I think where I started to draw the line, 58 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: and you helped me with this is who has a 59 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: connection with both of us? Who has a connection with us, 60 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: not me with us? Because again I can go back 61 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: and yeah, there's Andrew Firestone, but Andrew and Ivanna are 62 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: dear friends of ours. Very same thing with Bob Guiney. 63 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: Bob Guiney has now come into your life. We went 64 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: to the Kentucky Derby with him, and so there are 65 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: people that aren't just special to me. I wanted it 66 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: to be an us thing. They're at our wedding and 67 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: share in our love, and so I think that really 68 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: helped us. 69 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: We were really trying. 70 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 3: We'd heard actually from Wells Adams's brother and his wife, 71 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: his brother Brett. 72 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: They had a rule at their. 73 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: Wedding that they didn't want to meet anyone for the 74 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: first time at their wedding, And in Napa, of course 75 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 3: we had our very closest friends. But Austin that was 76 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: a risk and ultimately some people did you know, people 77 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: get plus ones, We get it. So there were a 78 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: few people we met for the first time, but you know, 79 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: we had that spirit in mind if we wanted it 80 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: to be people we were connected with. And I did 81 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 3: say this in Austin as we stood up on the 82 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: little stage to do our vows, I said, we look 83 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: around this room and we recognize everyone, and we feel 84 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: close with everyone, and so we wanted to have that feeling. 85 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: I also will admit that. 86 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: Because you had so many over a thousand people on 87 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: the show over the years, when we were doing the 88 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: guest list, we did pull up Wikipedia the Bachelor page 89 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: and we went through all of the leads and then 90 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 3: kind of glanced to do his their season, because I said, Babe, 91 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 3: it's just what if you forget. 92 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: Someone, and inevitably Banks Wikipedia two people that I kind 93 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: of forgot. 94 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: Too that Oh okay, let's ad minute. 95 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: No Brad Womack, we invited and because he's from Austin 96 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: here and he lives here and you've got to know him. 97 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: We've gone to dinner that was. 98 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: Going to come and ultimately couldn't make it. We forgot 99 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: to mention him in the other podcast episode. He was 100 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: invited to yes. 101 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: Because he's he's always been a very good friend of 102 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: mine and so and former ESPN Sports Center host Sage 103 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: Steele was here as well, a good friend of ours. 104 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: So that's kind of whether they were part of the 105 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: bats or outside like Courtney and justin a you know, 106 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 1: baseball player, it's because they're friends of ours, and that's 107 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of moving to Austin. The reason we're here 108 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: is it's something Lauren and I built together, and I 109 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: wanted our wedding to be about everything together. 110 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 3: And I guess we could segue that into something we 111 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: haven't talked about yet, which is how we chose Wells 112 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 3: and Ben to make a toast for us. Yeah, we 113 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 3: really we wanted the toast to be fun. We've been 114 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 3: to weddings before where the toasts on and on, or 115 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: there's too many people giving toasts, or I hate to 116 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 3: say it, but not everybody's a performer I think sometimes 117 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: people pick the people they're close to. But Chris and 118 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: I we have producers minds. As much as our wedding 119 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 3: wasn't was our wedding and it was real, we can't 120 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: help but think this has got to be fun and 121 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: have a good run of show. And so you want 122 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 3: to pick people who you know are going to perform 123 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: and be both emotional and funny. 124 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: And are beloved by all. Yes, you know it's neither 125 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: one of them you're gonna choose and be like, oh, 126 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: he chose him instead of me? 127 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 3: You know, No, we and I think everybody knows we're 128 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: all so most importantly we're close with Wells and Ben Well, 129 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: like Chris said, we wanted people know us both. 130 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 131 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 3: So Ben was the very first Bachelor and I ever did. 132 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 3: I had started at ET and actually I've said this before, 133 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: but I had never watched The Bachelor. I was a 134 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 3: Housewives still am a Bravo Housewives fan, and I started 135 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: doing The Bachelor just because no one was doing it. 136 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: So I've known Ben for a long time. Wells was 137 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 3: one of the first interviews I did so and they 138 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: crushed it. 139 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: Their toasts were amazing. 140 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: All right, Kendall, what else you got. 141 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 4: Speaking of Ben Higgins, people are wondering what Ben and 142 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 4: Jojo were like around each other. 143 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: Again from the same season this had. This was the dynamic. 144 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: That's so funny when you do this. And I did 145 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: not at all consider whose season was coming and who 146 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: was on whose season. I think we forget a lot 147 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: and who's dated because you can drive yourself crazy. But 148 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: the dynamic with him is awesome. They are jovial, laugh 149 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: make fun of each other about you know, and I 150 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: think Ben even said about you know, Jojo not picking him, 151 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: and I said, great choice, Jojo, good, you know, bullet dodged, 152 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: and everybody got. 153 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 2: Alongst that joke. 154 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben and Wells has some good Bachelor jokes in 155 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: their toes. 156 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: They did call you out. 157 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: I think Wells said Chris Harrison. I'm paarphrasing his joke, 158 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: but he basically said, Chris Harrison is a matchmaker. But 159 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: as I look around this room, he really only made 160 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 3: one or two successful matches. So I think he joked 161 00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: that it turned out the Bachelor was a long count. 162 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: No Will said, he goes, you're a Matchmaker's like you 163 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: are terrible at your job, and so he went around 164 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: the room and he goes, isn't that right, Ben, isn't 165 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: that right? Jojo is you know?

Simple answer to that is, I 236 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: think is no. 237 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: No, no, I no exes, no ex boyfriends or girlfriends 238 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: of any kind. 239 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, no exes of any kind from either of us. Yes, 240 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: that I know about, but no.

They'd want me to ask that, 246 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 3: and I think, unfortunately that question immediately it makes it 247 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,599 Speaker 3: sound like there's something amiss, like, oh, you don't have 248 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 3: a good real relationship.

Yeah, 315 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 3: I was all over at the bar doing shots with 316 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 3: Bob getting well. 317 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: My boys were there and we were just having a 318 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: good time. So I mean four or five probably by 319 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: the end of the night. And I look, here's the 320 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: good news. In all seriousness, no one got belligerent, no 321 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: one made a fool of themselves, nobody was crazy silly 322 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: in a bad way. We did run out of tequila 323 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: we did run out of tequila, and I was it 324 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: wasn't early. It was later in the night because the 325 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: party went later than it was supposed to. And I 326 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: said to Chris, like, oh no, we're out of tequila, 327 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: and he said, maybe that's a good thing. It probably was. 328 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: It was like, as I said to Justin Turner, who's 329 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: a professional baseball player with the Red Sox, I said, 330 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of like baseball at the seventh inning, they 331 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: cut everybody off so you can kind of sober up 332 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: before the ninth inning. That's how this was. I think 333 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: we cut everybody off at the seventh inning and everybody 334 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: could just dance it out.

We actually had a 349 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 4: soon to be bride reach out who is currently planning 350 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 4: her wedding and her dad passed away ten years ago 351 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 4: and she wants to know your advice on what she 352 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 4: can do to honor her dad at her wedding. 353 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: Well, all my love to her. What a wonderful question. 354 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 3: I have seen a Well, I will say that I 355 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 3: think you should say something about your parents or your 356 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 3: loved one who's lost, if you want to. I actually, 357 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 3: in the past had a wedding coordinator at my first 358 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: wedding said I don't think you should say anything. I 359 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 3: think it'll bring the mood down. And that was like, what, Like, 360 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 3: you need to honor your that's the biggest thing. Honor 361 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 3: your person, because you don't want to look back at 362 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 3: that moment and wish you'd said or done something. Honor them, 363 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 3: most importantly in a way that's meaningful to you. I 364 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 3: don't care if it's what other people don't do. Be 365 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 3: specific to you. At my first wedding, I stood up 366 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 3: and just gave a little speech about my dad. 367 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: I did cry during it. 368 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 3: We had a couple pictures of my dad framed out 369 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 3: at my first wedding, which I loved. My little sister 370 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 3: did that at hers too, and then at our wedding 371 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 3: in Austin. Well, I guess and Napa, we honor my 372 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 3: dad at both. Do you want to talk about that? 373 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: Well, I would just say, as the person on the 374 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: other side of this, if your significant other is not 375 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: into this and not willing to honor your father, that's 376 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: a red flag to me. It was important to me. Well, 377 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: family's everything to me, first of all, and so it 378 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: was really important to me to honor your father. I 379 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: think of him often. I think of him watching out 380 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: on me and watching us, and I wanted to honor him, 381 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: not not because you wanted it, because of us, and 382 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: because he's important. And he left an amazing you know, 383 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: as I said this in my vows, he left an 384 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: amazing family. Not just a daughter that I love, but 385 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: a family your mom who I adore, and your your 386 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: sister and your brother. Like he did the work, and 387 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: he left this amazing family that I'm not now a 388 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: part of So I'm grateful and I wanted to honor that. 389 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: And it was important to Mike, our officiant, our good friend. 390 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: He knew that too. So your dad Gary was a 391 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: part of the whole, the or the entire ceremony. He 392 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: was a part of my vows. So we all wanted 393 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: to do that. It wasn't just because Lauren asked for 394 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: it by any means. We just knew it was important. 395 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 3: It should come from a place of honoring, respecting, not 396 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 3: something obligatory. And I agree, look for that red flag 397 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 3: if it doesn't feel that way, but do whatever makes 398 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: sense to you. In Austin, we danced our first day 399 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 3: chants to my dad and nice favorite song, you know, 400 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 3: because I never had that father daughter dance moment. I also, 401 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, there were lots of little ways. I 402 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 3: had my little brother walk me halfway down the aisle, 403 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 3: but then I walked to the rest of the way myself, 404 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: because I feel like my dad raised me to be 405 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 3: an independent person, so that was a little nod to 406 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 3: him as well. So those little nods, however, and how 407 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: many you want to do, will make the day more 408 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 3: special and will make you feel good. Emotion is great 409 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 3: on a wedding day. Everybody wants it and everybody wants 410 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 3: to feel part of it. Don't let anybody feel like 411 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 3: you shouldn't do it. 412 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 4: Others asking how did you manage to keep the October 413 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 4: wedding from being leaked to the media? 414 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 3: Great question, and actually had did I ever tell you this? 415 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 3: I didn't want to make you nervous?

We're not going to be 477 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: psychotic about it. We would love for it to remain 478 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: a secret just for everybody's experience, including our own, but 479 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: if it gets out, it gets out. And the fact 480 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: that we're married and we're in love gets out. That's 481 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: not a big thing for a leak, and so we 482 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: wanted it to have have that special moment and save it. 483 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: But if it didn't, you know, we weren't going to 484 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: live and die by it. 485 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 3: We were We were careful about not wearing our wedding 486 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: rings after NAPA, but you were so bad about it, 487 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 3: I had to keep it. We'd be going to dinner, 488 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 3: I'd say, take your ring off, or you'd go post 489 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 3: something on Instagram, like showing off your new golf clubs, and. 490 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 2: I'd be like, you have to reach rise. 491 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,239 Speaker 1: I could wear my around the house only, and then 492 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: I would take it off before we'd go to dinner 493 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: or go to events, and I would often forget because 494 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm excited. I want to wear my ring. It's very 495 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: cute that and so what I would do instead is 496 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: I would wear the watch that Lauren gave me, and 497 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: I would take the ring off put my watch on 498 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: so I could just have a little something to let 499 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: me know that, you know, hey, we're married, it's real. 500 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: It was a little sign, a little signal, a little 501 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: symbol of our love. 502 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 4: Christy is asking now that you saw Jason and Caitlyn together. 503 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 4: Do you see them ever getting back together? 504 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: Oh? Great question. I think that's a fair question. And 505 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: first of all, I'll take it well. 506 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: I'm just thinking of how much to say. I'll be honest. 507 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: I texted Caitlyn jokingly and said, so are you guys 508 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 3: back together? And I think what came out of this 509 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: weekend was that they were able to heal post breakup 510 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 3: and move into a place of really good friendship. 511 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 2: Now, I will. 512 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 3: Say I'm not knowing both of them. I am not 513 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 3: one hundred percent sure the door is closed forever. I 514 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 3: loved seeing them together. If it's best for them to 515 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 3: be broken apart, of course, I want them to do 516 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 3: it's best for both of them. I always like them together. 517 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: So as my mom says, never say never, and so 518 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: I will not say never. But I agree with Lauren. 519 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: I know for a fact where they got this weekend 520 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: at our wedding was to a wonderful, friendly, amicable place, 521 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: and I think it was important for them just to 522 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: take that step. The animosity is gone. It's so funny 523 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: when you are famous like they are. You know again, 524 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: they're not, you know. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck but 525 00:23:54,600 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: they're still famous enough that public figures. It's weird. You 526 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: get in this cone of just your people, and so 527 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: you only hear the bad and you hear people talking 528 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: and you see articles written in podcasts, and so it's 529 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: easy for that animosity to build because the communication between 530 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: the two of you stops like a normal breakup, So 531 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: you're not communicating and you're not resolving things. So the 532 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: animosity builds, and that can be cancerous. And so I'm 533 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: glad that the animosity is gone. The friendship is there, 534 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: and now I think what's important is the lanes of 535 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: communication are open, and so I think this friendship will exist. 536 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: Are they going to be best buds and hang out 537 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: all the time. I don't think so, but at least 538 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: they could reach out to each other should anything else arise. Now, 539 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: will they ever be together a hook up? Who knows? 540 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: And I just wish them the best. I love them both. 541 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: They're both friends of mine ours, and I just wish 542 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: them the best. And I hope this weekend and I'm 543 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: I'm grateful that this weekend was something for them to 544 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: just get over that first hurdle and come back together. 545 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 2: And they both looked great. They did I did wonder. 546 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 2: I did wonder, yeah, if they would hook up because 547 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: they both looked so good. They both had great outfits. 548 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: They both looked fit and just gorgeous, and I was 549 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 3: like crushing. 550 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 2: On both of them. 551 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 3: And you know, look at weddings. Alcohol's flowing, people are dancing. 552 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 2: I ha a good time. Love is in the air. Yeah, 553 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 2: I'll be honest. 554 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 3: I was secretly hopeful for not Jason Caitlin, but I 555 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 3: was just topebal for like some surprise hookups side of 556 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 3: the weekend.

There were two hundred 558 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 3: and twenty five people there, so we'll see. 559 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: We'll keep you posted. 560 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 4: Okay, I have three more questions.

No, Honey, if I can make Bono happen 582 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 3: for you, at some point, I will. It is the 583 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 3: great lot in life for Chris to meet Bono. He 584 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 3: has nearly met him, no joke, been in the same 585 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 3: room as him. But then like he thought he'd get 586 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: to say hi with then Bono left too early. 587 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: Like five or six. 588 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: Can't wait to write this book.

But we 598 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 3: knew we were gonna have all of our bachelor friends 599 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 3: at this Austin party, and so we knew that we'll 600 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 3: give a certain bachelor element to it. And also, obviously, 601 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 3: why are people listening to this podcast because they grew 602 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 3: to know and love Chris through The Bachelor and maybe. 603 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 2: Me through covering the Bachelor and. 604 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 3: Part Anyway, so we had that discussion and we decided 605 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 3: on doing a few little nods, like we did have 606 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 3: some red roses, although maybe red roses are just romance. 607 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 3: I talked to our florist about this, which was something Pretty. 608 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 3: Floral's out of Dallas, an incredible floral designer named Taylor Davis. 609 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 3: She owns her own company There's Something Pretty, and man 610 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 3: are their arrangements pretty?

Yes, So we talked 614 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 3: about this because I said, like, you know, obviously roses 615 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 3: are a thing for Chris. We met via The Bachelor, 616 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: so I want to honor the way we met, but 617 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 3: I don't want it to be over the top for cheesy. 618 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 3: And Taylor really worked with me on, like, we had 619 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 3: some red roses sprinkled around the love signs, and we 620 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 3: had this beautiful champagne wall of Peyju champagn where people 621 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 3: could take a glass as they entered, and so Taylor 622 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 3: sprinkled red roses around there. But she said, you know, 623 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 3: actually she said this, and I really appreciate it. She said, Lauren, 624 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 3: Chris is so much more than like She's like, he 625 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 3: does so much. He is, like I mean, she was 626 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 3: singing your praises and just saying he is like an 627 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 3: icon of television to people. So we need to make 628 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 3: a little nod, but do much more than that. And 629 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: so that's where the roses stopped. And then she did 630 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 3: these beautiful fall blooms for us, with gorgeous fall colors 631 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 3: and a beautiful arch that we got married under. So 632 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 3: thanks to something pretty for doing that, right. 633 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: Let me connect two dots and follow me here. Taylor 634 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: also did Raven and Adam's wedding. She did, and that 635 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: led me to think Raven and Adam we also invited. 636 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: They were going to come. They are very good friends 637 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: of ours. They were at another wedding and actually Raven 638 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: was in the wedding. 639 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 2: Raven was a Ta Booth's wedding. 640 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: So our congratulations to Tea Booth who got married this weekend. 641 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: God bless you. And unfortunately Raven and Adam couldn't make it, 642 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: but I wish they had been there. 643 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 2: We love them so much. 644 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 3: That one hit hard because we're very close friends with them, 645 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,719 Speaker 3: and I know they were torn between being at two 646 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 3: places at once. I think my favorite little nod was 647 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 3: the signature drinks. 648 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, this was all you too, This is Elsie. 649 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 3: I love to craft a signature drink. I like to google, 650 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 3: and you're also naming them. I love to name a 651 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 3: signature drink, so they were. We had two signature cocktails. 652 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 3: We had the Final Rose, which was Samprey tequila, a 653 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 3: little lemonade and some rose syrup garnished with edible rose 654 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 3: petals and people loved it. And then we had the 655 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 3: Bachelor no more, which Jake it how you want. Yes, 656 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,959 Speaker 3: he's not a bachelor anymore. 657 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: And he's not a bachelor anymore. 658 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 3: And that was fresh muddled strawberries, Semprey tequila, lime juice, 659 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 3: and a little triple sex. So that was kind of 660 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 3: a yummy, fresh strawberry margarita. And it had that pink, 661 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 3: you know, that red rose hue to it, and then 662 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 3: the final rose drink had that pink queue to it. 663 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 3: So they were pretty, they were yummy, and that was 664 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 3: like the perfect little fun nod to me. 665 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: My main thing was it wasn't necessarily things I had 666 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: learned from the show. But you know, I guess, you know, 667 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: having been to so many weddings and some I officiated 668 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: on television, many you know, weren't on TV. You know, 669 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: I guess Ari Lauren are great example. I went and hosted, hosted, 670 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: officiated their wedding in Hawaii, and you pick up little 671 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: things like at their wedding, it's just the end of 672 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: the day. I wanted it to be us. I wanted 673 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: everything to be intentional. I wanted it to be one 674 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: hundred percent. Why are we doing this, Why are we 675 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: spending money on this? Why are we taking this step, 676 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: Why are we inviting this person? I wanted everything to 677 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: be very intentional, so when I saw it or went 678 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: through it, everything had meaning. Everywhere I looked, everywhere I stepped, 679 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: everybody I met, everything I ate had meaning. And there's 680 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: nothing that felt frivolous or pomp and circumstance. It all 681 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: felt so heartfelt to me, and I think to you 682 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: that was the most important thing. And I urge you 683 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: as you plan your own wedding. And I gave somebody 684 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: this advice the other day, make sure it's your day, 685 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: and I get it. Yeah, you got to make sure 686 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 1: the certain people are taken care of and feed everybody 687 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: all that, but I just make sure it's your day 688 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: and the decisions you're making, I guess be a little selfish. 689 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: It's your day. You should be a little selfish. 690 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 4: Okay. This final questions for me, Chris. I want to know, 691 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 4: from looking at the photos and seeing you all with 692 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 4: your Bachelor Nation friends, how do you feel emotionally about 693 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 4: the show these days? Like? Did this weekend make you 694 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 4: miss it at all? 695 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: No, it didn't make me miss my job. It made 696 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: me sentimental for sure, emotional absolutely, but feel really good 697 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: again as we talked about with Jason and Caitlin how 698 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: cathartic it was for them to kind of maybe bury 699 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: the hatchet a little bit. Maybe there was some still 700 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: still some things lingering in me that I didn't even 701 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: know about. That Friday night especially helped resolve, and then 702 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:54,239 Speaker 1: seeing everybody on Saturday helped resolve. Just really nothing but 703 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,239 Speaker 1: love in my heart. Grateful that these people are in 704 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: my life. And again I've said it before, I'll always 705 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: be grateful for the Bachelor and that job that I 706 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: held for twenty years in something I created. And as 707 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: looked as I looked around the room that night and 708 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: I stood up on a chair and I was giving 709 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: a toast, the only reason all of us the connective 710 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: tissue was me in the show. And so it made 711 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: me feel really good, and so it didn't make me 712 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: long for the days. It just made me happy and 713 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: content for the days that I was blessed to have everybody. 714 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your questions, your comments, your support, 715 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 3: your compliments.

It's all about love. 729 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: It's all about relationships, you know, officiating weddings, going through 730 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: a very public divorce, and then trying to date. When 731 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: I found Elz and I fell in love and we 732 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: went public, there was nothing but love and support and 733 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: we shared that with you.
