0:00:28.139 --> 0:00:31.179
<v Speaker 3>I don't know I got married. I cannot believe.

0:00:30.859 --> 0:00:33.579
<v Speaker 1>It for everyone listening, you guys might not know this story.

0:00:33.659 --> 0:00:35.859
<v Speaker 1>So Britt and I've been doing a podcast together for

0:00:35.899 --> 0:00:38.219
<v Speaker 1>six years now. I have been there through all of

0:00:38.259 --> 0:00:41.699
<v Speaker 1>your turbulent relationships. And when we started our podcast, Life

0:00:41.699 --> 0:00:44.659
<v Speaker 1>and carp it was all based around sex and relationships,

0:00:44.699 --> 0:00:46.779
<v Speaker 1>and a big part of that was Britt talking about

0:00:46.859 --> 0:00:49.859
<v Speaker 1>her dating life and talking about some of the absolute

0:00:49.899 --> 0:00:52.179
<v Speaker 1>monstrosities that she'd experienced in that time.

0:00:52.379 --> 0:00:54.459
<v Speaker 2>How was a tumultuous time, a lot of red flags

0:00:54.619 --> 0:00:55.219
<v Speaker 2>to navigate.

0:00:55.299 --> 0:00:58.379
<v Speaker 1>Britt came back from her first date with Ben and

0:00:58.419 --> 0:01:03.059
<v Speaker 1>I heard about this Swiss, extremely tall footballer who lived

0:01:03.259 --> 0:01:06.859
<v Speaker 1>overseas who she had had a one night stand with

0:01:06.938 --> 0:01:09.099
<v Speaker 1>that kind of evolved into a few more. It was

0:01:09.139 --> 0:01:11.819
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be a one nighter and then she drops

0:01:11.899 --> 0:01:14.898
<v Speaker 1>about a week before Christmas that year, I'm gonna go

0:01:15.018 --> 0:01:17.619
<v Speaker 1>over seas for a holiday, and I was like, I

0:01:17.779 --> 0:01:18.819
<v Speaker 1>see what's going on here.

0:01:19.219 --> 0:01:21.098
<v Speaker 3>And it wasn't until only a couple.

0:01:20.979 --> 0:01:23.059
<v Speaker 1>Of days before that she actually admitted she was going

0:01:23.098 --> 0:01:24.979
<v Speaker 1>over to see this guy that she'd hooked up with

0:01:25.059 --> 0:01:27.658
<v Speaker 1>on a dating site for three days whilst he was traveling.

0:01:27.378 --> 0:01:28.578
<v Speaker 3>Like two months with his team.

0:01:28.619 --> 0:01:33.059
<v Speaker 1>And I said, this is the worst idea you have

0:01:33.179 --> 0:01:33.699
<v Speaker 1>ever had.

0:01:33.738 --> 0:01:36.098
<v Speaker 3>I was like, this is gonna end in disaster.

0:01:36.458 --> 0:01:38.139
<v Speaker 2>Laura was like, do it, fine if you want to,

0:01:38.219 --> 0:01:39.098
<v Speaker 2>but don't say you didn't toast.

0:01:39.139 --> 0:01:39.898
<v Speaker 3>It's not gonna end us.

0:01:39.979 --> 0:01:41.458
<v Speaker 1>I was like, do it for the content, but come

0:01:41.499 --> 0:01:42.458
<v Speaker 1>home with a story, and.

0:01:42.458 --> 0:01:44.419
<v Speaker 3>Do not fall in love with this guy. Now look

0:01:44.458 --> 0:01:48.139
<v Speaker 3>at us. Now we're literally getting married. You are married.

0:01:48.499 --> 0:01:52.819
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, well look we've been through the journey with you, Britt.

0:01:52.859 --> 0:01:55.059
<v Speaker 1>Everyone here at the pickup but also across life on

0:01:55.099 --> 0:01:58.179
<v Speaker 1>cut the pot as well, and it's been such a

0:01:58.219 --> 0:02:00.619
<v Speaker 1>beautiful love story to be able to witness, to be

0:02:00.659 --> 0:02:01.819
<v Speaker 1>able to be in a small.

0:02:01.619 --> 0:02:04.178
<v Speaker 3>Way a part of And you know, I only did it.

0:02:04.219 --> 0:02:06.219
<v Speaker 3>Law was just sorely. I could say told you so,

0:02:06.899 --> 0:02:07.859
<v Speaker 3>I don't actually like the.

0:02:07.779 --> 0:02:10.538
<v Speaker 1>Guy, just just I was like, yes, anything, you know,

0:02:10.619 --> 0:02:12.899
<v Speaker 1>I'm also okay with saying when I'm wrong, and I

0:02:13.019 --> 0:02:16.019
<v Speaker 1>was very wrong. But Brittany, we have put together a

0:02:16.099 --> 0:02:20.139
<v Speaker 1>little recap of the last few years of your love story,

0:02:20.179 --> 0:02:22.819
<v Speaker 1>not just yours of Ben and how you guys met,

0:02:23.059 --> 0:02:24.219
<v Speaker 1>but also just some of.

0:02:24.179 --> 0:02:26.459
<v Speaker 3>The some of the ups and downs along the way.

0:02:26.579 --> 0:02:27.379
<v Speaker 3>Have a listened to this.

0:02:28.859 --> 0:02:33.618
<v Speaker 4>In twenty eighteen, a young, vibrant Britney Hockley braved reality

0:02:33.659 --> 0:02:36.099
<v Speaker 4>television seeking love on The Bachelor.

0:02:36.619 --> 0:02:38.659
<v Speaker 2>Definitely the most vulnerable I've ever felt.

0:02:38.418 --> 0:02:41.339
<v Speaker 4>Where she would make Bachelor history when the honey badgerint

0:02:41.418 --> 0:02:41.939
<v Speaker 4>picked No.

0:02:42.059 --> 0:02:44.259
<v Speaker 3>One Strong feelings for you, Brittany.

0:02:44.459 --> 0:02:48.298
<v Speaker 2>When I say those three words, I won't really mean

0:02:48.339 --> 0:02:50.099
<v Speaker 2>it right now.

0:02:50.418 --> 0:02:52.298
<v Speaker 4>I can't give one hundred percent off.

0:02:52.258 --> 0:02:53.339
<v Speaker 2>Me to you.

0:02:53.099 --> 0:02:55.179
<v Speaker 3>So you're all wake up.

0:02:56.138 --> 0:02:58.339
<v Speaker 1>It's kind a bit brightest day.

0:02:58.499 --> 0:03:02.139
<v Speaker 4>After an unsuccessful attempt at finding love on television, Brittany

0:03:02.179 --> 0:03:03.698
<v Speaker 4>Hockley found hope.

0:03:03.978 --> 0:03:04.459
<v Speaker 3>Woke up.

0:03:04.619 --> 0:03:06.499
<v Speaker 2>They literally sat out out of bed and I thought,

0:03:06.499 --> 0:03:08.459
<v Speaker 2>today's the day I'm going to get back on the horse.

0:03:08.538 --> 0:03:10.699
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, you know what, I'm going to have

0:03:10.779 --> 0:03:12.258
<v Speaker 2>my first ever one night stand.

0:03:12.499 --> 0:03:13.179
<v Speaker 3>And so I went on.

0:03:13.219 --> 0:03:18.379
<v Speaker 2>Raya this like six foot six beautiful Swiss man that

0:03:18.579 --> 0:03:21.299
<v Speaker 2>was here playing football like he was a professional athlete.

0:03:21.459 --> 0:03:22.779
<v Speaker 3>So I swiped right.

0:03:22.939 --> 0:03:23.538
<v Speaker 2>We matched.

0:03:23.739 --> 0:03:24.339
<v Speaker 3>We talked for.

0:03:24.299 --> 0:03:28.179
<v Speaker 2>About half an hour, so he came over. Eventually we got.

0:03:27.978 --> 0:03:30.579
<v Speaker 3>Down sanity, gritty, hooked up. It was amazing.

0:03:30.659 --> 0:03:32.939
<v Speaker 2>And then he shucked to go, and as he was leaving,

0:03:33.379 --> 0:03:35.179
<v Speaker 2>I thought, I'm never going to see this guy again.

0:03:35.619 --> 0:03:37.659
<v Speaker 2>Then the next day he messages me and he's like, yeah,

0:03:37.739 --> 0:03:39.259
<v Speaker 2>do you want to see each other again? I've got

0:03:39.259 --> 0:03:41.059
<v Speaker 2>a bit of time, and I was like, yeah, right.

0:03:41.179 --> 0:03:42.419
<v Speaker 3>We just fell in love from.

0:03:42.259 --> 0:03:45.299
<v Speaker 4>The very beginning, but not all was smooth sailing.

0:03:45.739 --> 0:03:47.859
<v Speaker 2>I'm in my first argument with my new boyfriend Ben.

0:03:48.019 --> 0:03:50.899
<v Speaker 2>So we've been dating for about four months now. I

0:03:51.019 --> 0:03:53.659
<v Speaker 2>had facetimed Ben because he'd asked me something, so we're

0:03:53.659 --> 0:03:56.699
<v Speaker 2>having a quick conversation. There was all this urgency because

0:03:56.819 --> 0:03:59.979
<v Speaker 2>back on air twenty seconds I signed off really quickly

0:04:00.019 --> 0:04:01.379
<v Speaker 2>on a phone call, and I was a bit panicky.

0:04:01.499 --> 0:04:03.259
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, okay, okay, I gotta go to

0:04:03.299 --> 0:04:05.219
<v Speaker 2>go love you bye. And then I hung out the

0:04:05.219 --> 0:04:07.499
<v Speaker 2>phone and I said, oh my god, I've just said

0:04:07.499 --> 0:04:10.019
<v Speaker 2>I love you. Seconds later, I get a text, did

0:04:10.019 --> 0:04:12.339
<v Speaker 2>you just say I love you? And I did what

0:04:12.379 --> 0:04:14.779
<v Speaker 2>any normal woman would do, and I gas lip him

0:04:14.779 --> 0:04:16.379
<v Speaker 2>and I said, I I do not say that.

0:04:16.459 --> 0:04:18.819
<v Speaker 3>Yes, lie. Two weeks later he said I.

0:04:18.739 --> 0:04:21.099
<v Speaker 2>Love you in another language, but I knew what he

0:04:21.179 --> 0:04:21.619
<v Speaker 2>was saying.

0:04:22.059 --> 0:04:24.419
<v Speaker 3>So now we're in this argument about who said they.

0:04:24.339 --> 0:04:25.019
<v Speaker 2>Love him first?

0:04:25.539 --> 0:04:27.618
<v Speaker 3>What doesn't kill your make of such?

0:04:27.819 --> 0:04:30.619
<v Speaker 4>Turns out they were both in love and their relationship

0:04:30.699 --> 0:04:33.739
<v Speaker 4>grew from strength to strength until one day she had

0:04:33.779 --> 0:04:36.299
<v Speaker 4>some exciting news to share with the pickup team and

0:04:36.419 --> 0:04:37.659
<v Speaker 4>Life Uncut community.

0:04:38.419 --> 0:04:40.419
<v Speaker 2>I've been single for the better part of ten years

0:04:40.459 --> 0:04:42.539
<v Speaker 2>and I was always a single friend, watching all my

0:04:42.579 --> 0:04:45.299
<v Speaker 2>friends fall in love, which made me so happy, but

0:04:45.379 --> 0:04:47.739
<v Speaker 2>it was definitely hard, and I started to think maybe

0:04:47.739 --> 0:04:48.339
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't for me.

0:04:48.539 --> 0:04:49.339
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I love love.

0:04:49.619 --> 0:04:51.819
<v Speaker 2>Then in twenty twenty two, I met this amazing guy,

0:04:51.939 --> 0:04:55.339
<v Speaker 2>but he lived overseas. My friends were really concerned because

0:04:55.379 --> 0:04:58.379
<v Speaker 2>long distance is never easy and I've always had commitment issues.

0:04:58.859 --> 0:05:00.939
<v Speaker 2>But this time it felt different and I thought he

0:05:01.019 --> 0:05:03.539
<v Speaker 2>was worth it. Flash forward to now and I've never

0:05:03.579 --> 0:05:06.299
<v Speaker 2>been happier. And last week, on a beautiful island, he

0:05:06.379 --> 0:05:07.539
<v Speaker 2>asked me to be his wife.

0:05:07.659 --> 0:05:09.259
<v Speaker 3>You crazy, know what's a Q?

0:05:09.459 --> 0:05:09.579
<v Speaker 2>Wait?

0:05:09.779 --> 0:05:11.579
<v Speaker 3>Tell my friends that I'm getting married?

0:05:16.619 --> 0:05:22.779
<v Speaker 2>So long to tell you?
