We at that point 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:49.880 we're both single and now oh my god, oh my gosh. Andy, 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.640 we were supposed to do a double date for that charity. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.560 I know. I think it was like all COVID stuff, 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.400 and the guy was like, it's fine. I just sort 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:02.920 of like donate. I was like, oh gosh, so much exchanged. Okay, wait, Anna, 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.320 did you ever picture that you'd be sitting here engaged 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:13.880 back on Bachelor half Hope? So, I mean, I feel 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:18.480 like it's all going accordingly to plans. Actually happened later 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:23.320 than I planned, but it still happened finally, And I 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.320 mean before we even get into anything with the engagement, 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.919 I have to see that ring because it is massive. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.400 It is so beautiful. It takes up your full knuckles. Really, 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:40.440 it's so big. That's yeah, I do love dimons. I 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.079 have no caning that. Do you have to do extra 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.320 weights on that are now just to just to be 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.560 able to carry that shit around finger cross to get 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.880 in the way of things happily. I'm like, yeah, okay, 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.679 that'll work. Yeah, just stuck on my shirt again. I 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.280 scratched you first world problems, get little wool on it. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:04.560 I'm like, you know, it's so beautiful, it's so pretty. Well, congratulations, 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.880 that's absolutely amazing. I'm so excited for you. I want 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.120 to get into it though, because neither of us are single. Now, 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.400 I kind of love it for it, I know, I know, 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.560 and well, you know we've talked about me getting engaged 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.840 way too much here on this podcast, but I will 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.440 say one last time, hoping it happened soon. So when 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.320 you actually when you got engaged, I think I was 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.079 on tour and I was just blinded by your ring 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.920 and I was like, oh, miss, look at this. My 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:33.959 friend Andy just got engaged. Imagine the at nothing more 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.000 than that, but you know they need it. Yeah, they 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.880 need a little kick in the ass sometimes. Um, so 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.920 I want to get into it because you I mean, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.600 I didn't even know you were dating anyone until you 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:49.480 guys became Insta official, which was back with what about 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.640 a year ago? Well, it was like what did they 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:56.080 say now? The soft launch, softch soft and hard launches. 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.360 I think it's still remember so actually my he was 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.920 coming for Thanksgiving with my family and I was like, okay, 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.720 I should probably like announce this like it was going 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.120 well my time, and I remember like calling my mom 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:10.800 was like, Okay, I'm gonna post a picture of him. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.840 She's like, well, can I see it? Firstly? Of course 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.720 here She's like I can't even see his face. I 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.480 was like, yeah, I know, it's a it's a soft launch, mom, 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:22.960 And then I love that. I think that first posted 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:26.200 his face like maybe like New Year's and then by 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.839 March you're engaged. But we've been dating since like August, 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.479 so yeah, I think people thought it was I mean, 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.039 it's still always like six months, but I think people 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.440 thought it when you know, you know that for sure, 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.920 I really like believe that I mean, look, I've known 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.000 and I've thought I've known and not didn't work out. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:47.840 But I think now you really know. And honestly, that 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.359 amount of time is like a decade in the bachelor world, 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.839 so you're totally fine. I think it's also like age, 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.640 like the older you are and he's you know, he 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.599 just turned thirty six, I'm thirty five. You just know 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.919 yourself better, you know what you want. You've been in 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.239 relationships to know like what works and what doesn't, and 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.280 you can kind of see those red flags. And with 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.640 Blake there were just no red flags. And remember, like 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.520 month by month, I'm like, all right, when is where 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.080 is the shoe gonna draw? I never did, and it 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:17.799 was long enough time for me to know like, Okay, 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.159 this is my person, Like this, Oh my gosh. I 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.000 feel like we have so much to talk about, so 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.880 much in common. We really do. But I really want 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:30.520 to know how you guys met. Well, how we met 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:35.480 in college at a party he playing baseball with one 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.359 of my good friends that I grew up with. I 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.320 remember I was like fourth of July lake house party. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.440 It was probably like eighteen or nineteen m and my 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:44.520 friend brought like all of his teammates down and I 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.160 remember like eyeing Blaine. I was like, all right, he's 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.440 really hot, like hook it up yea, And I never 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.880 got the set up. I'm assuming that like in hindsight, 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.720 Blaine probably had a girlfriend. I didn't even ask um, 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.160 but never got set up with him. And then literally 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.880 like fifteen years later, last summer, our mutual friends getting 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.360 married and Blame like hit me up on DM ask 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:07.640 me if I wanted to go to the wedding, and 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.640 I'm like, I've not talked to you in fifteen years 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.760 and I don't know who you are. No, not for 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.440 rigor not gonna happen. He's like, all right, well I'm 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:16.840 taking out for a drink. I was like, I live 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.800 in La now, and so long story show where I 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.760 was in Italy for the summer. He was there for 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.560 a wedding. He DMS me he's still don't have my 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.320 number and was like, hey, I want to take you 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:27.680 out for a drink. What are you doing this weekend? 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.080 I was I'm in Italy, obviously I saw in your instagram. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.279 Went stupid.

He was like, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.600 I guess I'm taking you both out for drinks and 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.960 literally like he walked into our hotel like courtyard and 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.080 I saw him. I was like, oh damn, he's still hot. 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:54.839 He was like a movie Truly. I'm so invested. I'm 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.279 so invested because I was hitting on my friend. So 0:06:58.360 --> 0:06:59.520 like the end of the night, I was like, you 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.280 know what, you guys like go for a nightcap. I'm 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:02.480 gonna go to see They were like, what are you 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.800 talking about? No, you two are connecting. He's like, gosh's 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.040 trying to be nice to the friend, you know. Oh, 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:13.640 oh my gosh. It all came full circle. So did 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.880 he where is he from? Originally he's from South Carolina, 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.600 so he's trying. Okay, he lives in Greenville, which is 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.240 just like thirty forty minutes away. Oh my gosh, that's 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.680 where one of my good friends lives. Damn. Okay, did 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:30.360 you ever ask him like did he purposely put himself there? 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.120 Like did he have intentions of going to that wedding? 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.160 Being like okay, like I have my eye on this girl, 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.680 like you ever because I don't even think I was 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.240 like in Italy at that point, like he was going 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.760 to the wedding, but definitely the posy Tano aspect of it, 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.040 because the wedding was like in Tuscany. He was going 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.880 to Rome, and he was just like, why am I 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.040 going to roam for a weekend by myself when I'm like, 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:54.679 go meet this girl and take her for a drink. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:59.240 So right, he drove three hours, came to Potano. Damn. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.520 I love this his own noteps. I was kind of worried. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.400 I'm like, I hope this guy doesn't think that, like 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.760 he's coming to crash with us. But you know, we 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.080 like run into friends in Europe all the time. I 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.680 feel like if someone's there, especially the New York Connection, 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.200 people are always over there. So we've been like hanging 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.320 with friends like all summer basically, So it wasn't weird 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.720 that he was coming. I was like, great, more than Marrier. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.960 But I was hoping he had his own setup going on, 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:23.760 because I was like, I'm not he's not about to 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:28.960 coach crash at our nice place here. Yeah, oh my gosh, 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.800 good for him. I love a man who goes for 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.680 what he wants. He said no to the wedding, but 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.480 he's like, fuck it, I'm going to meet this girl 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.720 in Europe. Yeah. Yeah, I came for him too, like 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.160 I was like, I'm good buddy. And then I mean 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:46.840 he was in fuzzy Tano, like Okaya, it is so 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.480 romantic there. So I have to ask them after that trip, 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.800 did you kind of know did you both feel like 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.840 you wanted to continue dating or what? Did it take 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.640 a while for you to be like, oh, this could 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.920 actually work out and be a thing. Yeah. I remember 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.679 like telling my friend the first day we met him, 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.600 I was like, he's just like too reserved for me, 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.680 too shy for me. And we ended up hanging out 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.400 more and he's great. We both like left Italy and 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.839 we were back in the States and kept talking, kept 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.599 face timing. I remember like getting on the plane and 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.440 I was just like, man, I really liked that guy. 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.960 Probably never see him again, but that was great, you know. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.240 I had a great time. And then we ended up 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.480 like meeting up I think a week or two later, 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.800 and that's when I kind of knew it was not 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.640 just like the Italian romance summer fling. It was in 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.760 the States. And then it was funny because I was like, 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.960 all right, I think I need to probably like tie 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:40.400 up some loose ends, like some summer reply right back 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:46.120 to you. And we were both single and like, yeah, 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.480 oh no, shame, yeah, I gotta type some loose ends. 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.719 He was like, yeah, me too, Aelia. At least you're 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.640 both on the same page. I love that you guys 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.400 can both be open though, and like nobody took it personally. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.560 I think it was our way of like asking each 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:06.680 other every girl exclusive. I love this between between the 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:12.360 soft launch, like knowing that he was the one how 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.160 much time? Oh no, I knew he was the one 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.080 with the soft launch, yeah, where you are such a 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.440 private person and when it comes to your relationships that 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.080 I feel like when you finally we're going to post 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:24.640 with somebody, I was like, he's going to be it, 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.280 like I already know, like I see what's going on. Yeah, 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.800 like a pretty good amount of guy. Since the show's 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.280 been like seven or eight years, and I don't think 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.360 I've ever posted any of them, but there was one 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.800 on Instagram where you posted somebody's feet. Was that Blaine's no, 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.679 He's gonna kill me for asking no no, no, I 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.200 remember that, and I literally thought, I think it was 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:48.720 like one of my friends and I'm like, can you 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.440 take a photo for me? Everyone freaked. I was like, 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:55.640 oh god, the internet went wild over that photo. It 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.520 was on like a story or like a post. I 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:58.880 think it was on a post, and you took it 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:03.199 down right. I was gonna say, I know what I'm 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.839 going after this podcast. It was so good because I 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.000 think you were in Mexico. I wanted to say you 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.560 were so much tropical, and and it was like it 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.320 was such a sexy photo of like you on vacation. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.760 It was your back and then his feet, and people 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.480 were like trying to find out who this man was 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.280 with just his tone nails, and I was like, people 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:29.400 are so invested in other people's relationships, it's wild. Also 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.440 why I kept it private was because I'm sure you 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.120 guys get this too, Like people make comments about past 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.200 relationships when they're trying to like guess who somebody is, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.240 just like I feel awful for the guy. Like even 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.280 when I post with Blaine, like people will kind of 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.840 make reference to, oh, it looks like so and so 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.080 or his demeanor, even people I haven't necessarily dated, but 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.640 people within the franchise, and it just kind of like 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.920 irks me. I'm like, really, do you think that if 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.160 you were a girl and your boyfriend posted of you 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.320 that you would want being compared to other girls? And 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.160 I don't right that way, but it just it always happens. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.480 So I feel like I kind of was a little 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:11.120 bit hesitant for that reason. That's I get and I 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.200 so respect that. That's so smart to have that mindset 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:15.800 to be like, I want to protect my partner who 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.840 I'm with now, And because I don't know Blaine's background 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.000 or what he does where he works, but I'm sure 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.840 this world is probably new and a lot to take. Yeah, 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.439 he's like a bro, like he is not a reality 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.440 TV watcher. He likes sports, he likes beer, he likes golf, 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.599 like he manly man in the sense of this is 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.640 not his world. And that I think other thing that 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.960 you know, when we've dated people in Batchel Nation, they 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.360 get it. But I think that level protection is more 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.400 so for the people that are not in this world. Yeah, 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.280 it's a lot to take. It's a lot for us 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.240 to take an a room after we've been in it, 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.920 and so yeah, being somebody who never grew up watching 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.520 it or kind of being infiltrated in it. It's oh 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.840 my god, I can't even imagine being in that position. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.600 It would be so much. Um, but I want to 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.480 get into your engagement and the proposal. Did you have 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:14.800 any idea that it was coming up? Yes? Okay, did 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.360 you help? Did you did you know what kind of 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.480 bring you on it? Or is that all? We picked 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.040 it out together? And he was like so excited he 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:23.880 can't He would like show me photos of the room 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.200 that he had picked up. Please don't show me any 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.720 photos I want. Yeah, You're like I want to be surprised, 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.559 so excited, and then um, he was coming for the 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.760 La marathon and our family was coming in and I 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.120 think he like literally told me he went to the 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:44.120 safety deposit box, like I knew he had. Because sometimes 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.480 men just can't keep secret it right, or they feel 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.480 like they are keeping a secret and they're really not. 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:51.920 But if you want to let them, okay. So take 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.000 us back to the the day or the night of 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.280 the proposal, Like waking up in the morning, You're like, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.480 I'm like, what day? I actually thought maybe it would 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.480 be the Saturday before the marathon, but Friday, like no 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.240 one's answered my calls, which my mom was like, oh, 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.880 I'm brunching or playing golf or something. I kind of 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.800 believe it. And then you're going down to the beach. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.200 He made like dinner reservations and we always go to 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.600 the beach when it's nice for like sunset cocktails, Like 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.760 nothing new. I love it there. It's like my happy place. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.200 And Friday, we're driving down to the beach and no 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.600 one's answered my calls and I FaceTime my friend Kelly, 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:26.760 who was on the show with me. She's like my 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:32.280 best friend, and her face was like, I'm like, why 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.400 are you doing that? He's like, oh, what do you do? 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.720 Like what's wrong with you? She's like, what are you doing? 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.080 I was like, oh my god. And Blaine was being weird. 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.160 We got down to the beach or like sitting there, 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.360 he's like being so weird. He's like kind of dressed up. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.760 I'm in like sweatpants, and I see a photographer and 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.560 I was like, Okay, this is it. This is the moment. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.560 It's like down to the water. I'm like, okay, babe. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.640 But the know was he was just by the way. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.120 We're not doing dinner. We're just gonna go to the 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.680 hotel bel Air and like hang out, have a great many. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.560 I was like, okay, let's drive home and well, I'll 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.720 be really quick. I'll just grab some stuff. And I 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.160 walked in the door and it was like double locks. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.840 I remember being like, that's weird. Maybe Blae like locked 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.080 both locks. And it was dark, and I think I 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.600 said to mine, or at least I thought, I was like, oh, 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:21.600 thank god, like no one's here and everyone it was 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:28.520 like whatpening like? So my family had come in early. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.920 His parents came, which is their first play, which is awesome, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.520 and like some of my closest friends, my sister came 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.080 with her husband and the kids, and that was a 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.400 huge surprise to me and posted a video. I was 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.640 like very very emotional for that, and I don't retually cry, 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.200 but that was a thing. H oh my god. And 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:48.840 you were still in your stebpants, right because you had 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.600 a chance to change, don't you wish now he would 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.080 have given you some sort of not an inklean, but 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.680 would have been like, oh, like let's stress up a 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.000 little bit. No. I think he kind of tried to 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.880 and just like this is what I'm wearing. I mean, 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.200 you're like jarred. They're like not sweatpants. But I didn't work. 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:15.040 Yeah company right now, wait, are these are the ones? Yeah, 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:21.720 it's probably. It's nice so symbolic, you know what. I'm 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.840 glad that he just let me be comfortable, Like I 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.200 didn't care. I liked the sweater, I liked the pants. 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.120 It was very casual, but like, it's like not me 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.040 to dress up like that for something kind of intimate 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.600 in that, right. I want to ask you this because 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.680 I feel like you and I are pretty similar, and 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.360 you know, speaking from experience, we went from the show. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.480 We had a very extract probably the most extravagant way 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.840 you could ever get engaged, right, it was in front 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:53.400 of millions of people, with this massive Neil Lane diamond. This, Like, 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.840 how did you feel with this proposal knowing that it 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:59.120 was only for your eyes and the photographers and very 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:03.480 intimate just between you two? Like, what did that feel like? 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.359 On a much different level? I mean obviously totally different. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.000 Only the second time I've gotten proposed to, so there's 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.639 not a ton of comparison, But it was just what 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.359 I wanted. Like, as you tells asually, when comes to 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.560 the relationships, I'm pretty private. I loved that the photographer 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.560 was there, just because I do love the photos that 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.360 we had and it kind of encapsulates that moment. But 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.320 I'm thirty five, I've been engaged, like you said, in 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.439 front of millions and millions of people. It's not the 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.360 way I wanted for it to happen a second time. 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.439 So it was a special place for us. It was 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.080 important for me to like do it in La in 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.439 my home, for my coastal right now, but it was 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.119 that was really important to me to just do it 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.719 in a place that was like my spot. H I 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.840 love that, And it was beautiful. Those photos were absolutely beautiful. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.520 And I mean, I just know you and how probably 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.080 excited you wore that you did find your man. But 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.280 I was so happy when I said, I got chills 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.359 all over my body. I was about to walk out 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.359 on the stage and sell, especially with your family, like 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.720 your friends and family and all of that too. That 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:05.600 had to be pretty cool that you're able to Like 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.040 I just I told him like two things, my please 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.920 don't propose like right after the marathon, because I've done 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.960 the marathon before and it's not gonna be pretty. And 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.280 goydn't do it anytime soon, like Mabe, do it while 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.800 I'm still thirty four. I was like if so, you know, 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.320 I'm so so impressed with you and your running capabilities. 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.640 I don't know if I have any desire to run 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.639 even a five k, Like no can he can he 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.000 keep up with like six for in an athlete like 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.119 he is way faster. I asked him to do the marathon. 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.160 I was like, yeah, it'd be great. Oh I wish 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:41.879 I could just be like, yeah, let's sign up for 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:45.000 this marathon, no big deal. Are like in good shape 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.280 like they do stuff athletically. I'm just like, really, like 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.439 you didn't even have to train very hard for that, 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.119 Like what you're running in sandals right now? You're not 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.679 even in ten and shoes. This is bullshit. He like, 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.119 I couldn't do it. Everything on to him, like all 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.000 my Gatorades and like any like waters. I had, like 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:07.640 a flexure, you go pack. I love that. I mean 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:09.879 it sounds like you are both so supportive of each other, 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.160 and so I'm glad that he can because that it's 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:13.919 such a passion of yours and I'm glad that he 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.080 can be alongside you and bring you up and partake 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.439 in it and not just be like, ah, you got this, 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.359 good luck. It's nice also trained together it was a 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.080 good way to spend time together. I mean, when you're 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.359 running for hours training, it's just like the two of us, 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:28.520 it's a it's a nice kind of quiet time for 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.400 both of us. Just like, yeah, so when you sound nice, 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.760 especially when you're like come off the show of you know, 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:38.800 everything's so luxurious and spontaneous, spontaneous and all these different 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.320 things to be able to like see your person fit 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.119 into your daily life and like spend time. You know, 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:46.479 what is your time look like Monday through Friday? Friday? 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:51.240 You know, I'm interested to know this. So when you 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.159 two run together and spend that time, do you have 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.040 your air pods in and you're both kind of listening 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.000 to music and zen out? Or are you both talkers 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.479 and storytellers? How does this fellow he is such a 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.879 talker when we run, like I feel like that's his 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:07.879 time to just chat chat chat away. Like he's not 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.520 he's chatty, but he's definitely a little more like reserved 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.040 and quieter than I am. We start running, he does 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:18.240
