We're a few episodes into filming at this point. 0:00:22.550 --> 0:00:24.419 And I will tell you, it has been such a 0:00:24.450 --> 0:00:27.160 fun experience for me. On the outside, getting to be 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.260 a part of these couples' special days. So today, as 0:00:30.300 --> 0:00:34.779 we tease the airing of this show, I'm going to 0:00:34.830 --> 0:00:36.890 chat with a few of the couples who have already 0:00:36.909 --> 0:00:40.330 been a part of the journey to I Do. I 0:00:40.610 --> 0:00:43.470 get to start out with my friends, Savannah and Jace. 0:00:43.590 --> 0:00:44.310 Welcome to the show. 0:00:44.330 --> 0:00:46.030 Hi. 0:00:47.130 --> 0:00:47.660 How are you two? 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:48.800 We're good. 0:00:48.820 --> 0:00:50.040 Yeah, we're good. 0:00:50.620 --> 0:00:51.279 How's married life? 0:00:53.210 --> 0:00:53.850 We love it. 0:00:54.130 --> 0:00:54.710 I love it. 0:00:54.830 --> 0:00:58.710 I've been joking with everybody and saying as advertised, but no, 0:00:58.770 --> 0:01:00.660 but it actually has been wonderful. 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.220 Jace, there is a scene, I'm not going to give 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:04.640 it all away, but there is a scene in this 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.440 show where you make the comment, if you don't marry Savannah, 0:01:07.459 --> 0:01:11.119 you'll never get married. Do you feel that more now 0:01:11.180 --> 0:01:11.540 than ever? 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:13.110 Yeah, for sure. 0:01:13.130 --> 0:01:15.929 I actually had a customer of mine that I was 0:01:15.970 --> 0:01:18.030 talking with earlier and that got brought up in our 0:01:18.069 --> 0:01:21.170 discussion this morning. So it was kind of like, I 0:01:21.170 --> 0:01:22.450 was like, yeah, well, me and my wife were talking 0:01:22.470 --> 0:01:24.070 about getting married. I told her, I said, it's either 0:01:24.090 --> 0:01:24.790 you or nobody. 0:01:24.950 --> 0:01:27.030 And if it don't work, I ain't doing it again. 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:29.920 I believe it too. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:36.700 No, it's even more tenfold. Yeah, I'm very happy where 0:01:36.740 --> 0:01:37.020 I'm at. 0:01:38.180 --> 0:01:40.360 I bet. Well, it seems like it from the show. 0:01:40.980 --> 0:01:43.970 You know, I want to kick this off a little bit. 0:01:43.980 --> 0:01:50.040 I said yes to hosting, I do. because it feels 0:01:50.100 --> 0:01:52.100 like such a special show to be a part of. 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.900 I do get to be a part of your special days. 0:01:55.580 --> 0:01:58.500 We get to document these days in the most incredible way, 0:01:58.580 --> 0:02:01.580 from the resorts, the beauty of the resorts, to then 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.580 obviously your wishes, needs, wants for the wedding day, leading 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:10.070 up to the obvious ceremony. But we'll get to see 0:02:10.090 --> 0:02:11.929 it a little bit in this episode, but I'd love 0:02:12.550 --> 0:02:15.610 for anybody listening, as they have not got to watch 0:02:15.650 --> 0:02:18.090 you two say I do yet, how did the two 0:02:18.130 --> 0:02:18.530 of you meet? 0:02:20.010 --> 0:02:22.530 Um, we grew up in the same hometown and we 0:02:22.570 --> 0:02:26.220 went to the same church and we just met through there. 0:02:26.460 --> 0:02:28.510 I mean, we had known each other for years before 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:35.079 we actually met quote unquote, but, um, we just sat 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.100 down next to each other one day at church and 0:02:37.180 --> 0:02:39.459 we hit it off and it was kind of the 0:02:39.500 --> 0:02:40.380 history of that. 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.720 So, yeah, it's kind of just a crossing paths type thing. 0:02:43.740 --> 0:02:47.440 We ran around the same circles, but never conversated even, um, 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.760 Until we just sat next to each other one day 0:02:50.780 --> 0:02:56.579 and probably a meaningless question kind of turned into more conversation. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.320 And here we are about, what, eight years later? 0:02:59.340 --> 0:03:00.320 Something like that. 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:07.650 Eight years later, a few months into Married Life. You know, 0:03:08.010 --> 0:03:10.610 this show is interesting for a lot of reasons. I 0:03:11.290 --> 0:03:14.829 have seen the episodes. They are incredible and they are 0:03:14.889 --> 0:03:18.149 beautiful and they're well captured and the stories are amazing throughout. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:24.360 And you really do get a glimpse of the excitement 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.980 going into your wedding day. Also the nerves. But this 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.200 was a new show. It hasn't been on TV yet. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.600 We're launching it here. Right here on the Almost Famous 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.000 Podcast is the first time really I've talked about it publicly. 0:03:37.260 --> 0:03:39.060 It's a big, I feel like it would be a 0:03:39.140 --> 0:03:40.930 big deal for you two to say yes to it. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.220 You don't know what you're getting into. This could have 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:48.290 been a complete failure. So walk us through the process 0:03:48.350 --> 0:03:52.130 of saying yes to a show that has never existed 0:03:52.730 --> 0:03:55.710 with the promise of being a part of your wedding. 0:03:56.670 --> 0:04:02.600 Well, we actually were already booking a destination wedding in Cabo. 0:04:02.660 --> 0:04:06.200 So we knew we wanted to get married like destination, 0:04:06.260 --> 0:04:09.680 not in the States. So that part was easy for 0:04:09.780 --> 0:04:11.920 us to say yes to because we had already made 0:04:11.980 --> 0:04:14.420 our mind up to that. We were actually working with 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.560 a travel agent and she was like, I had my 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.960 heart set on a date of December the 31st. I 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.600 wanted to get married on New Year's Eve, but they 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.520 don't do weddings on those days. So we. 0:04:26.540 --> 0:04:27.990 In destination places. 0:04:28.110 --> 0:04:33.409 In destination places. So we actually were sent this opportunity 0:04:33.710 --> 0:04:36.750 and she promised us that it was for real. 0:04:36.850 --> 0:04:37.130 So. 0:04:38.650 --> 0:04:42.060 we applied we made a little short like video that 0:04:42.100 --> 0:04:45.240 was kind of silly and just showed our personalities and 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.600 they we interviewed and then they called us a couple 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.980 weeks later and we're like okay is this something that 0:04:51.020 --> 0:04:55.760 you want to do and jace was like oh gosh 0:04:55.870 --> 0:04:58.350 i don't know yeah it was kind of hard to 0:04:58.390 --> 0:05:01.969 win him over on it at first because it was 0:05:03.490 --> 0:05:05.630 so foreign to us like we had no idea if. 0:05:07.010 --> 0:05:09.630 They did a good job of sweetening the pot, though, obviously. 0:05:09.750 --> 0:05:11.190 I mean, they come to us like we were getting 0:05:11.250 --> 0:05:13.670 quotes at the time we applied of like how much 0:05:13.730 --> 0:05:15.590 it was going to cost for us to get married 0:05:15.990 --> 0:05:21.770 at a destination versus. And then, you know, obviously the 0:05:22.150 --> 0:05:26.710 production team, they took care of, you know, pretty much everything. 0:05:26.790 --> 0:05:30.390 So we were we were out of pocket, very minimal. 0:05:30.870 --> 0:05:33.930 And I said, you know, going into a marriage that 0:05:33.970 --> 0:05:36.030 was very attractive of not having debt. 0:05:37.710 --> 0:05:38.950 Like wedding related debt. 0:05:39.710 --> 0:05:42.630 And, uh, so many of that obviously wasn't the only 0:05:42.670 --> 0:05:44.170 reason we had our, like she said, we had already 0:05:44.190 --> 0:05:47.530 looked at getting married destination. Um, so at first it 0:05:47.570 --> 0:05:49.690 was kind of, uh, the only thing that I would 0:05:49.730 --> 0:05:53.910 say that we maybe were reserved about was like, we're 0:05:53.930 --> 0:05:55.650 putting a lot of faith into people. 0:05:55.470 --> 0:05:57.930 We've never met or we don't know their body of 0:05:57.970 --> 0:06:00.810 work or like, you know, like how good is this? 0:06:01.230 --> 0:06:02.589 How good can it actually be? 0:06:02.710 --> 0:06:04.450 But I think at the end of the day, we 0:06:04.500 --> 0:06:07.880 just decided, well, We're going to go get married regardless. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.279 They're going to give us the best product of that 0:06:10.339 --> 0:06:12.520 because we had seen the weddings that they do at 0:06:13.220 --> 0:06:17.380 the hotel. So we knew that the wedding itself would 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.040 be great regardless. And we were like, well, if the 0:06:20.100 --> 0:06:23.159 show is good, then that's even better. And but our 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.969 wedding is going to be it is what it is. 0:06:25.990 --> 0:06:29.029 So, yeah, you kind of fell in the proverbial like 0:06:29.350 --> 0:06:32.210 sword for the show, because from here on out, people 0:06:32.230 --> 0:06:34.500 are going to be able to see the product. And 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.640 then say, yeah, that would definitely be something I would 0:06:36.660 --> 0:06:39.400 want to be a part of. We're obviously here to 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.920 highlight the two of you and your incredible love story, 0:06:41.980 --> 0:06:46.360 but also talk about why, really just talk about your 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.289 experience on this show. So now that you went through it, 0:06:50.230 --> 0:06:52.390 but you did get married and you said, I do. 0:06:52.610 --> 0:06:57.390 There's no big twist there at the end. What would 0:06:57.430 --> 0:07:01.270 you tell any couple that's interested in Destination Wedding and 0:07:01.390 --> 0:07:03.529 possibly considering being a part of I Do? 0:07:05.029 --> 0:07:07.990 I think that the biggest thing that you have to 0:07:08.029 --> 0:07:10.670 be OK with is just putting all of the planning 0:07:10.710 --> 0:07:11.890 in somebody else's hands. 0:07:12.130 --> 0:07:13.070 Like you have to. 0:07:13.030 --> 0:07:16.950 Be OK with completely being hands off, which was kind 0:07:16.970 --> 0:07:19.890 of what I wanted to do anyway. So that wasn't 0:07:19.910 --> 0:07:23.870 a hard thing for me. But like in like I 0:07:23.890 --> 0:07:25.870 feel like it was and people will see in the 0:07:25.930 --> 0:07:28.500 show is you don't see it come to life at all. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.580 Like it's not there the night before. And then it's like, bam, 0:07:31.620 --> 0:07:33.920 you wake up the next morning and it's there. And 0:07:34.020 --> 0:07:37.370 so just trusting the process of the whole thing. 0:07:38.310 --> 0:07:38.630 Yeah. 0:07:38.890 --> 0:07:40.870 And I feel like throughout the whole process too, is 0:07:40.910 --> 0:07:43.450 like trust was a big factor because there was a 0:07:43.490 --> 0:07:45.930 lot of times where we thought that things weren't going 0:07:45.970 --> 0:07:48.830 to turn out the way that we wanted or maybe 0:07:48.870 --> 0:07:51.460 demanded them to turn out. And like, we're like, either 0:07:51.500 --> 0:07:52.820 y'all are going to figure it out. We got to 0:07:52.860 --> 0:07:55.900 figure it out somehow. But, but like at the same time, 0:07:56.140 --> 0:07:57.960 you know, in retrospect, there was some kind of like 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.900 curtain of production that, All they were trying to do 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:08.830 was surprise us because they wanted good TV. It took 0:08:08.870 --> 0:08:12.130 a lot of trust from the time that we said, yes, 0:08:12.150 --> 0:08:14.390 we're going to be on the show until the day 0:08:14.430 --> 0:08:16.770 she said that we woke up and we're getting married today. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.360 There's a lot of times where we were. 0:08:20.380 --> 0:08:24.960 I know Savannah especially was a little overwhelmed with, is 0:08:24.980 --> 0:08:27.600 this really going to. 0:08:27.580 --> 0:08:28.140 Turn out how. 0:08:29.900 --> 0:08:30.840 We wanted it to. 0:08:30.900 --> 0:08:34.059 And obviously, I mean, when people see the show at 0:08:34.420 --> 0:08:36.339 the end, it did turn out how we wanted it to. 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.160 But would you recommend somebody going on it? 0:08:40.580 --> 0:08:41.480 Yeah, absolutely. 0:08:41.500 --> 0:08:44.620 It was like one of the most fun experiences that 0:08:44.660 --> 0:08:46.559 we've I've ever had. 0:08:46.620 --> 0:08:47.040 I don't know. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.710 Yeah, I know. I mean, in retrospect, yes, 100 percent. 0:08:50.750 --> 0:08:52.530 But like I would just I would just caution that 0:08:52.550 --> 0:08:57.699 if you have anxiety, you probably shouldn't do it. because 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.870 like I said there were some times where we were 0:08:59.900 --> 0:09:03.530 really I mean like I kept telling Savannah and I 0:09:03.550 --> 0:09:05.530 think there's clips of it in the show I just 0:09:05.570 --> 0:09:09.030 said like just trust that it's going to get done 0:09:09.150 --> 0:09:11.630 stop worrying control what you can control either way we're 0:09:11.650 --> 0:09:14.530 getting married and she was all worked up and at 0:09:14.570 --> 0:09:16.170 the end it was like you're worked up for nothing 0:09:16.380 --> 0:09:17.979 it turned out to be everything you wanted it to 0:09:18.010 --> 0:09:20.140 be but yeah I would recommend it to somebody. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.460 Else yeah Jason I mean getting to be around you 0:09:23.500 --> 0:09:27.930 for a few days you do have like the beer taste. 0:09:28.010 --> 0:09:29.620 Like you're, you just want to hang out and have 0:09:29.660 --> 0:09:32.339 a beer where Savannah has more like the champagne kind 0:09:32.380 --> 0:09:35.640 of expectations of, Hey, there's a lot of things here. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.160 I want this to look like, be like, and I 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.719 think with a show like this, that would add stress. 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:45.260 But I would imagine Savannah, the stress fell on you 0:09:45.300 --> 0:09:48.209 more than Jace because Jace and his buddies just wanted 0:09:48.230 --> 0:09:50.670 to have a good time. Like they didn't want much 0:09:50.730 --> 0:09:53.310 more than hang out by the pool, float around for 0:09:53.350 --> 0:09:55.349 a bit and get married to his dream girl. 0:09:55.900 --> 0:09:56.300 Yes. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:57.830 Oh yeah, for sure. 0:09:58.650 --> 0:10:02.050 When people watch this, obviously one of the big reasons 0:10:02.070 --> 0:10:04.330 this can even exist is that people will tune in 0:10:04.429 --> 0:10:08.430 to learn about what a destination wedding is like, the 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.380 expectations of a destination wedding. Why would you tell people 0:10:12.410 --> 0:10:14.380 to watch the show? You were a part of the film. 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:15.839 You have an idea of what this is going to 0:10:15.860 --> 0:10:19.330 look like. what this was like, why would a viewer say, 0:10:19.450 --> 0:10:22.390 I'm going to spend, you know, 30 minutes to an 0:10:22.450 --> 0:10:25.770 hour of my day tuning into this specific show? 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:31.860 Well, no, I think just to see it unfold, I guess, 0:10:31.980 --> 0:10:35.040 like we talk about it and we have the experience, 0:10:35.059 --> 0:10:37.540 like all of our friends and family have the experience. 0:10:38.179 --> 0:10:40.790 And we've just kind of told everybody like, oh, it 0:10:40.830 --> 0:10:45.030 was an awesome experience. We got to do X, Y, 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.520 and Z during the show and during the week while 0:10:47.540 --> 0:10:49.790 we were there, but the wedding was awesome and all 0:10:49.809 --> 0:10:50.150 the things. 0:10:50.210 --> 0:10:51.710 And we had a very small wedding. 0:10:51.770 --> 0:10:53.790 Like there were not a lot of people there. 0:10:53.870 --> 0:10:59.750 So I think just telling, like giving them something like 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:04.079 that they can see of how much fun and how much, 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.540 like how genuine our experience was there. 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:11.320 No, I think like, I mean, she says our wedding 0:11:11.340 --> 0:11:13.900 was small, but in terms of destination weddings, it was 0:11:13.970 --> 0:11:16.610 actually kind of large in my opinion. So, I mean, 0:11:16.630 --> 0:11:19.590 like there's kind of a stigma around destination weddings that 0:11:19.630 --> 0:11:21.530 it's just like you and your wife and maybe like 0:11:21.590 --> 0:11:26.250 one or two other people. Um, but also it's like, uh, 0:11:26.590 --> 0:11:30.580 just seeing like, there was some, like I was in 0:11:30.620 --> 0:11:31.520 the wedding obviously. 0:11:31.540 --> 0:11:33.360 And so it was Savannah and there's so much stuff. 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:34.980 That happened on the day of the wedding that we 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.220 were like, we didn't really even have any idea was 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:38.880 going to be a thing until the day of the wedding. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:40.720 And so I feel like a lot of people don't. 0:11:40.620 --> 0:11:44.520 Know what goes into destination weddings. And like, there's a 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.540 lot of surprises that you would have been like, man, 0:11:46.740 --> 0:11:48.819 I would have never thought about that. And we said 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.699 the same thing, like after the wedding was over, we're 0:11:51.780 --> 0:11:55.470 in honeymoon phase, like we're recapping everything that just happened. 0:11:55.929 --> 0:11:58.210 And we both like could come up with things that 0:11:58.250 --> 0:12:00.170 were like, I didn't know that they were going to 0:12:00.190 --> 0:12:02.010 do that. Or I didn't know that that was a 0:12:02.090 --> 0:12:04.949 thing that people thought of whenever you do a destination 0:12:04.970 --> 0:12:06.969 wedding or whatever, you know, like it felt like we 0:12:07.010 --> 0:12:11.460 were at a stateside wedding. just like 1500 miles from home. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.679 It was really, really crazy because I was expecting it 0:12:15.740 --> 0:12:18.830 to miss aspects that normally you would have, but that 0:12:18.870 --> 0:12:19.520 wasn't the case. 0:12:19.540 --> 0:12:20.290 Yeah. 0:12:20.309 --> 0:12:22.770 It's one of the best weddings I'd ever seen done 0:12:23.429 --> 0:12:26.250 from the ceremony to the after party to even the 0:12:26.290 --> 0:12:29.130 rehearsal dinner. You know, for me, I think people are 0:12:29.150 --> 0:12:31.350 going to want to watch too. My wife has watched 0:12:31.390 --> 0:12:35.300 both episodes with me and she obviously wasn't around for 0:12:35.340 --> 0:12:37.780 the filming. And she's like, I want to watch this 0:12:37.820 --> 0:12:42.010 show one, for, as you said, Savannah, like the details, 0:12:42.790 --> 0:12:45.770 seeing all that goes into what a resort has to do, 0:12:46.530 --> 0:12:50.250 what a bride and groom wants in a wedding, how 0:12:50.290 --> 0:12:55.010 the resort speeds things up and functions leading up to 0:12:55.050 --> 0:12:57.580 the big day. But then also I think it's really 0:12:57.620 --> 0:13:00.119 cool because you get to see these resorts. So if 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:03.610 anybody's ever interested in getting married and At the Paradisus 0:13:03.630 --> 0:13:06.670 Palma Real in the Dominican Republic, they can see that. 0:13:07.050 --> 0:13:09.390 But you get to see your story. And I think 0:13:09.429 --> 0:13:12.090 that's the big reason here is you get to see 0:13:12.150 --> 0:13:16.470 a love story coming to a climax during the ceremony 0:13:16.790 --> 0:13:21.920 and seeing the groom's face when the bride walks down 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:26.599 the aisle. I do think the capturing of all these 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.480 little details make it something that most people say, I 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.059 want to watch. If for no other reason, because it's 0:13:34.300 --> 0:13:38.870 happy television, it's something that brings joy to our household 0:13:38.900 --> 0:13:42.030 because we get to see a love story take place. 0:13:43.070 --> 0:13:45.609 Yeah, for sure. I think like, if you look at 0:13:45.650 --> 0:13:49.240 traditional TV, you just hit it on the head. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.380 Like a lot of it's very negative or drama oriented 0:13:53.460 --> 0:13:55.400 and you don't get too many, too much like feel 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.890 good TV stuff anymore. I would definitely say that this 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:00.300 is going to fall in the, I mean, cause I 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:01.979 don't think there was a bad time had, and I 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.260 think you won't see anything with people smiling the whole 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.839 time in terms of, I can only speak on our experience, 0:14:07.900 --> 0:14:08.640 but yeah. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.980 I don't want to give up too much of the show. Uh, 0:14:13.100 --> 0:14:15.760 but obviously I do. I'm excited about this show. I 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.340 think it's a big deal. I think it's beautiful television. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.240 I do think it's happy television. I think there's a 0:14:20.260 --> 0:14:23.590 lot of Cool, intricate details that will be shown that 0:14:23.610 --> 0:14:25.609 you never really get to see before. It's part of 0:14:25.670 --> 0:14:29.510 my job while I'm there to make sure it's capturing 0:14:29.550 --> 0:14:31.550 what the resort is doing in the kitchen behind the 0:14:31.610 --> 0:14:34.470 scenes that's then being delivered to you and your guests 0:14:35.030 --> 0:14:37.250 on a table and how all that works out and 0:14:37.270 --> 0:14:39.050 the timing of it all and the stress that you 0:14:39.090 --> 0:14:44.020 guys don't ever see that's happening with the resort planning staff. 0:14:44.060 --> 0:14:46.300 That resort was so good to you guys. I do 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.720 think that. I think there's a lot of surprises that 0:14:48.740 --> 0:14:50.640 will be shown in this show that you two know 0:14:50.700 --> 0:14:55.580 about that the resort really made happen to make sure 0:14:55.620 --> 0:14:58.480 that this was the perfect moment for you. As we 0:14:58.500 --> 0:15:00.160 close up here, the one thing we don't get to 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.580 see on this show is the after party, or let 0:15:03.620 --> 0:15:06.970 me call it the honeymoon. How was your honeymoon? I'm 0:15:07.050 --> 0:15:10.130 guessing you stayed at the resort and the guests started 0:15:10.190 --> 0:15:12.130 to leave. Tell us about those few days. 0:15:14.010 --> 0:15:15.070 It was kind of funny. 0:15:15.210 --> 0:15:19.170 The first day, like when everybody left, we were like, 0:15:19.860 --> 0:15:22.800 kind of sad, like not in a bad way, but 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.880 we were like, it's literally over. You anticipate this day 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.620 for so long. And I don't think people talk about 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.880 it enough. It's like all of your friends and family 0:15:32.950 --> 0:15:36.150 are leaving. And you're like, now it's just the two 0:15:36.210 --> 0:15:40.450 of us, which is fine. And We got, we had fun, 0:15:40.590 --> 0:15:43.790 but it was just kind of a weird feeling after 0:15:43.910 --> 0:15:46.730 when it was like, we've anticipated this day for so 0:15:46.770 --> 0:15:48.510 long and now it's just over and it felt like 0:15:48.590 --> 0:15:51.490 it was like gone like that. But we had a 0:15:51.510 --> 0:15:55.470 blast after we were, we hung out by the pool. 0:15:55.510 --> 0:15:56.850 I feel like we didn't get to do that much 0:15:56.910 --> 0:15:59.530 before the wedding. So we hung out by the pool. 0:16:00.290 --> 0:16:04.640 We just, we had a good time. We got massages. 0:16:04.660 --> 0:16:07.400 We just enjoyed being around each other and kind of like, 0:16:08.020 --> 0:16:11.800 almost debriefed from the wedding planning stage of our life. 0:16:12.060 --> 0:16:14.120 And like, now we're moving into, okay, we're headed home 0:16:14.660 --> 0:16:19.160 and back to reality. Now as a married couple, Savannah 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.740 was calling it the post wedding blues. She said that 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.480 we woke up the next morning and all of our 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.420 friends were saying bye and headed back home. And it's like, 0:16:26.460 --> 0:16:29.080 she said, it's like, we've spent the better part of 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:29.760 six months. 0:16:29.820 --> 0:16:32.940 Like every, we were, we devoted two to three hours 0:16:32.980 --> 0:16:35.450 a day worth of, you know, planning, et cetera, to 0:16:35.500 --> 0:16:37.380 this moment. And it's gone. 0:16:38.060 --> 0:16:39.720 But once we got over that, we were having a 0:16:39.740 --> 0:16:45.460 great time. But it was very, at first, bittersweet, but 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.420 then it was all sweet. 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.490 I got to give a little credit to the production 0:16:51.530 --> 0:16:54.030 company and the resort because, yes, there's a lot that 0:16:54.070 --> 0:16:57.370 goes into making a television show. But I think what 0:16:57.390 --> 0:17:00.530 you're saying is even in the midst of the responsibilities 0:17:00.910 --> 0:17:05.820 of filming different activities and conversations and different parts of 0:17:05.859 --> 0:17:10.399 the planning process, you still had a great time leading 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.719 up to the big day. And I think that is 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.040 a credit to the resort one and also the production 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.110 company who tried to do what they could to stay 0:17:19.170 --> 0:17:21.109 out of your way, but also just let you guys 0:17:21.190 --> 0:17:23.570 do your thing with your friends and capture it as 0:17:23.630 --> 0:17:27.190 it went. I think that is a really fine balance 0:17:27.250 --> 0:17:29.659 where it could have become too much and frustrating and, 0:17:30.330 --> 0:17:33.350 You're like, hey, I haven't seen my family since I 0:17:33.369 --> 0:17:36.870 got here because I've been in a hotel room doing interviews. 0:17:37.650 --> 0:17:41.350 So I do think there is a huge credit that 0:17:41.390 --> 0:17:43.369 should be given to the people that made this show. 0:17:44.050 --> 0:17:46.669 Because I think especially with the two of you and 0:17:46.690 --> 0:17:50.390 your friends, you guys had a great time. You– You 0:17:50.410 --> 0:17:54.530 closed down that resort most evenings in the best of ways. 0:17:55.650 --> 0:17:56.270 Yeah, we did. 0:17:56.510 --> 0:17:59.010 We had a great time and they did really a 0:17:59.050 --> 0:18:01.770 great job. And we also talked about how we didn't 0:18:01.830 --> 0:18:05.290 notice anybody else but our people that were around, like 0:18:05.310 --> 0:18:08.810 the people that traveled with us. It felt like almost 0:18:08.850 --> 0:18:10.830 we were there on our own, like. 0:18:10.750 --> 0:18:11.950 Nobody else was there. 0:18:12.150 --> 0:18:16.190 So the resort production, everybody did a great job with 0:18:16.270 --> 0:18:19.980 that too, because it felt like It was just us 0:18:20.020 --> 0:18:22.540 with our people. Like we were the only people there 0:18:22.740 --> 0:18:26.220 and nobody else was there. Nobody else was ruining what 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:27.080 we were doing. 0:18:27.820 --> 0:18:30.700 Well, next up, I get to talk to Mackenzie and Josh, 0:18:31.180 --> 0:18:36.090 who got married in Cancun right before you all. Rough 0:18:36.130 --> 0:18:38.429 job I have. I went from Cancun to the Dominican 0:18:38.530 --> 0:18:41.710 to two separate weddings. It was pretty great.
