00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: an exciting time, right, All it was about was what

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: other people would say on a post. And I felt

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,880

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys would have. It would have been

39
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: even more pressurized.

40
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: Pats, because you still got your dress. You should put

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: up on Snapchat now and see what the girlfriends say

42
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:53,920

46
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,040

47
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:07,560

53
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 4: went back in.

54
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: We ate that dress like the first, and then we

55
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: got home and it was like a photo shoot for

56
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,320

57
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: the wall, taking the photo looking at it. No, that's

58
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: too filtered, Dad, stop using too many filters.

59
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: It looks too filtered. Then oh, I've got a lot

60
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: of filters, aren't that. It's a dress not very nice.

61
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 4: Even I was getting anxious. How does she posted? I

62
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 4: was like what they say? They say, Oh, is it

65
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: bold and she went, oh my god, they don't like it.
