Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the
Speaker 1: hottest influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm
Speaker 1: Safeie Tolbert, and we have a very special and intermate edition.
Speaker 1: Today we're going to be speaking about Kate and Reese's wedding.
Speaker 1: We actually have Reese on the podcast. I never thought
Speaker 1: i'd see the day. Welcome my new brother, Rehys Turner.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, welcome.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you agreed to be on this
Speaker 1: because Sofa and I were just going to record it
Speaker 1: by ourselves because Amy's going to Melbourne today. But I
Speaker 1: asked Raes, do you want to be on it? And
Speaker 1: he said yes, So we thought we'd better do it
Speaker 1: quickly until you renag on that decision.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought one day in the good books and
Speaker 2: I might go do it, and then probably I'll be
Speaker 2: in the bad books again.
Speaker 1: Okay, you didn't introduce yourself with your new last name.
Speaker 1: Is that going to be a thing on this podcast?
Speaker 1: Are you going to be Kate Turner from now on here? No? Well,
Speaker 1: I said, I'm going to keep Kate Tulbah as my
Speaker 1: professional name and Kate Turner as my family name. Alrighty,
Speaker 1: then now we put up a question box on an
Speaker 1: Instagram and people have been sending in some other juicy questions.
Speaker 1: My favorite one was whether you consummated the marriage the
Speaker 1: night of? But I feel a bit awkward asking you
Speaker 1: guys this. Maybe we'll leave that one for later when
Speaker 1: Reese has warmed up a little bit. So now a
Speaker 1: lot of the questions were, of course about the dress. Kate,
Speaker 1: who was the designer? Can you tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit about it? So I got the dress from Bride
Speaker 1: Lab in Adelaide on King William Road, and the designer
Speaker 1: is Ammaline Vitali. I don't know if I've butchered that name.
Speaker 1: Actually you picked it out, didn't you? So you guess? Well,
Speaker 1: when we went there was this look. You had shown
Speaker 1: me a picture of a dress that was very similar
Speaker 1: to the one you ended up wearing, And there was
Speaker 1: a girl in the Chaine rooms next to us trying
Speaker 1: on the very dress. So I went and stole it
Speaker 1: from the change rooms after she'd gone. So, for those
Speaker 1: who haven't seen it, it's got long sleeves, it's off
Speaker 1: the shoulder, it was beautiful, had buttons down the back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: someone did ask why did I decide to have long
Speaker 1: sleeves during January with a lot of confused faces. I
Speaker 1: think it was a bold move considering the weekend before
Speaker 1: was nearly forty degrees. I was pretty nervous about it. Well,
Speaker 1: for those who were in Adelaide, it was perfect wedding weather. Yes,
Speaker 1: was degrees twenty five twenty six degrees, so it was
Speaker 1: actually perfect. I didn't sweat at all. It actually got
Speaker 1: a little bit cold in the night. So I felt
Speaker 1: very smug about that decision. Now, how did you know
Speaker 1: that it was the dress for you? Someone asked? Or
Speaker 1: it was actually really hard because when you tried the
Speaker 1: dresses on, I thought they'd have them all in different sizes,
Speaker 1: but the one I tried on was a lot bigger
Speaker 1: than I am, so I had to have it all
Speaker 1: pinned back, and it was really hard to imagine what
Speaker 1: it actually looked like. So I it was definitely the
Speaker 1: one I like the most, but I was kind of
Speaker 1: a bit on the fence. And then I had to
Speaker 1: make a really quick decision because apparently it took like
Speaker 1: six to eight months to actually get it made. Well,
Speaker 1: that was another question. Someone said, how far out from
Speaker 1: the wedding did you get the dress? And the general
Speaker 1: rule is you should start looking about a year before
Speaker 1: your wedding, So Amy and I have to start looking
Speaker 1: now that your big days overcame. Yeah, so we got
Speaker 1: We had a look in March, and then I made
Speaker 1: the decision after going to three different shops, and then
Speaker 1: we ended up getting it altered a few like three
Speaker 1: three times a couple of weeks before the wedding. Now,
Speaker 1: obviously we talk about a lot of influencer weddings on here, Kate.
Speaker 1: Did you have any inspiration for your dress? Did you
Speaker 1: see it online anywhere? Was anyone else wearing it? Well?
Speaker 1: I saw a similar one on Marquez Bridle and that's
Speaker 1: what piqued my interest on Pinterest. But I actually was
Speaker 1: scouring the designer's page trying to find someone else in
Speaker 1: it to make sure it looked good, and they just
Speaker 1: had a photo of it on the mannequin, and I
Speaker 1: was getting nervous because I had bored it, and then
Speaker 1: I was having second thoughts like oh did I rush
Speaker 1: into it? But I actually ended up really loving it
Speaker 1: on the day. I think that's pretty normal. I feel
Speaker 1: like everyone has a bit of a freak out because
Speaker 1: there's so much online, so much inspo. When the second
Speaker 1: you lock yours in because it is a very long
Speaker 1: time until your wedding. What did you think of the dress? Race?
Speaker 1: What was your reaction when you saw it? Was it
Speaker 1: what you're expecting?
Speaker 2: I had some thoughts about it because while practicing our
Speaker 2: Dan's Kate gave away some clues. But you know, overall,
Speaker 2: it was a beautiful dress and they did very well,
Speaker 2: and she looked very stunning in it. Right.
Speaker 1: I kept askings to guess what it looked like, and
Speaker 1: I stupidly slipped up in front of his friends and
Speaker 1: said it had a slit in it. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think you were expecting some sort of traditional
Speaker 1: bulk on fairy princess dress.
Speaker 2: No, no, it was very new.
Speaker 1: Now where were the shoes from Kate? They were from
Speaker 1: Steve Madden. I actually got them on Revolve. I think
Speaker 1: they've all sold out because I got them for like
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten dollars, so they were a bargain.
Speaker 1: What about the bridesmaid's dresses. We got a lot of
Speaker 1: comments on them because I think it was sort of
Speaker 1: a color that not too many people have done before.
Speaker 1: So the bridesmaids dresses were from Pilgrim. It was really lovely.
Speaker 1: They reached out and asked if I liked any of
Speaker 1: their dresses, and they said, no pressure if you don't.
Speaker 1: So I put it to you guys, and you really
Speaker 1: liked the Marley gown and coral, so they kindly gifted
Speaker 1: them to us. It was the only thing that we
Speaker 1: actually had gifted for the wedding. We did pay for
Speaker 1: everything else. They were really flattering. I think that's what
Speaker 1: we were all worried about. When you have silk gowns
Speaker 1: or satin gowns, there's always that element where they might
Speaker 1: be slightly unflattering. But these were amazing. I have to
Speaker 1: say though, I think the secret weapon was skims. We
Speaker 1: had a long time searching for some skims and they
Speaker 1: were great on the day. Yeah, I had mixed reviews
Speaker 1: about skims, but they were so good and they're actually
Speaker 1: really comfortable. They looked tiny when you get them out
Speaker 1: of the packet, but yeah, they were really good and
Speaker 1: I loved the color. So the color was coral, and
Speaker 1: I don't know that it just all went together really well.
Speaker 1: I was a bit nervous of how things would come together,
Speaker 1: but it looked really good. The color palette and Reese,
Speaker 1: where was your suit from?
Speaker 2: Oh? Thank you? Yeah, finally measure for the boys. So
Speaker 2: I got mine and all the guys suits from Beggy Pardon.
Speaker 1: Beggy Pardon, what was that called?
Speaker 2: Michael from Beggy Pardon's in the City. One of the best,
Speaker 2: top notch has some amazing fabrics, so we got to
Speaker 2: choose from and we ended up getting your dad's suit
Speaker 2: there as well.
Speaker 1: Now, Kate's been ragging on you for a while on
Speaker 1: this podcast about not going down the traditional path of
Speaker 1: having a black tuxedo, but I have to say I
Speaker 1: thought the suits were amazing. I feel like it all
Speaker 1: tied in so well with the color palette. Did you
Speaker 1: end up liking it, Kate? Oh, I love them. I
Speaker 1: love the blue color. I was nervous because Reese, originally
Speaker 1: before we got engaged, we were talking about weddings and
Speaker 1: he said, do you have a dress picked out? And
Speaker 1: I was like no, But he had a suit picked
Speaker 1: out and it was kind of a purply marone patterned suit,
Speaker 1: so I was he might pick something like that. But
Speaker 1: I love the blue color. It's my favorite color and
Speaker 1: it did go really well together, which I was surprised
Speaker 1: about because I thought it might look quite bad together.
Speaker 1: Weren't you're going to go for a brown suit as well?
Speaker 1: Until everyone said you look like mister bean.
Speaker 2: It was mentioned of it that was quickly down tent.
Speaker 1: No. It rees looked amazing. I was very impressed. O kay,
Speaker 1: you had quite a mane on you. I loved your hair.
Speaker 1: A good friend of ours, Marianne, she did it. She's
Speaker 1: been doing our hair for years. A lot of people asked,
Speaker 1: was that your real hair or were they hair extensions
Speaker 1: or were they permanent hair extensions? Look, it was obviously
Speaker 1: not my own hair. I have very thin natural hair,
Speaker 1: so I had hair extensions, some sitting pretty halo extensions,
Speaker 1: so it's like a non permanent extension. They're not you know,
Speaker 1: at the moment. But no, I love them. They were
Speaker 1: really comfortable during the day, surprisingly, And someone did say,
Speaker 1: were you worried about them being visible? Or I was
Speaker 1: because when I walked down the aisle, my dad accidentally
Speaker 1: stepped on my veil and it popped out, and I
Speaker 1: thought for a second that it had taken the hair
Speaker 1: extent with them. That was Someone did ask whether any
Speaker 1: mishaps on the day, and I think that was probably
Speaker 1: the biggest mishap because you were kind of umming and
Speaker 1: ring as to whether you wanted a veil in the
Speaker 1: first place. And I feel slightly guilty because I was
Speaker 1: on veil duties. But to be fair, when we rocked
Speaker 1: up to the ceremony in the big van, which we'll
Speaker 1: get into in a second, I noticed you had a
Speaker 1: black speck of makeup or eyeland or something on your face.
Speaker 1: So I was more concerned rushing back to the car
Speaker 1: to get makeup than what was happening with your veil. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were so proud because we actually arrived two minutes early,
Speaker 1: and everyone was raising us, saying because we run late
Speaker 1: to everything, that we would be late. And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're about to start walking, and so
Speaker 1: it's like, you've got something black on your face, and
Speaker 1: I was like, for fuck's sake, and Dad's just stressing. Well,
Speaker 1: after he stepped on the veil, we tried to put
Speaker 1: it back in, and it was quite windy during the
Speaker 1: ceremony and it blew out again. So I was so
Speaker 1: paranoid it would emerge from the bush because I ended
Speaker 1: up having to just tuck it into the plants. Oh
Speaker 1: is that? But I was so worried because you pay
Speaker 1: money for a veil and then I'm like, you can't
Speaker 1: even use it, and it's getting real. Well, you guys
Speaker 1: can use it for your weddings if you want, maybe
Speaker 1: just secure it with a few more pins. But I
Speaker 1: think it would have been blowing around the whole ceremony
Speaker 1: and annoying me. So anyway, it wasn't a big deal.
Speaker 1: As my friend Owen said, apparently, if something goes wrong
Speaker 1: during the wedding, then it means not going to have
Speaker 1: any issues during your marriage. I feel like it's on
Speaker 1: the tension though as well, because you know what, it
Speaker 1: gets all a bit serious and it's like it's a
Speaker 1: real day. I mean, you only see people's highlights in
Speaker 1: the videos. Yeah, we also had our two dogs, Shadow
Speaker 1: and Sunny there, and we had a dog handler from
Speaker 1: ard Pause who was incredible. But we'd only given Sunny
Speaker 1: some sort of sedatives rather than Shadow, like Shadow will
Speaker 1: be fine, and he was just like jumping about and
Speaker 1: well that was probably another mishap because my partner brown
Speaker 1: And was doing some behind the scenes filming and he
Speaker 1: captured the moment that Sonny decided to Oh, you can
Speaker 1: probably tell the story you were there she did a
Speaker 1: poo right before the ceremony.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, just as we arrived, like it just happened,
Speaker 2: so you could smell it from a mile away. It
Speaker 2: was lovely.
Speaker 1: Well, there was like fake grass around that area and
Speaker 1: they had to bring out a bucket and a mop, so.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Maximillion's proof clean that up.
Speaker 1: Now. A lot of people wanted to know, Reese, did
Speaker 1: you cry when you saw Kate walking down the aisle.
Speaker 2: I didn't cry when she walked down the aisle. I
Speaker 2: was just more probably in awe of what she looked like.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, there's plenty of teas coming along.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I remember walking down and I was rattled
Speaker 1: after the whole veil incident, and I was trying to
Speaker 1: pull myself together. And then I was like, hang on,
Speaker 1: Reese didn't cry. I was a bit like upset that
Speaker 1: you didn't cry. And then during your vows the waterworks
Speaker 1: came out, so I was like, Yes. A few people
Speaker 1: wanted to know about the vowels, and the vow's pretty cute.
Speaker 1: Do you guys want to give an insight?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we made a choice to create our own vowels,
Speaker 2: which for us is special. But for some that don't
Speaker 2: have a master's of journalism, it was quite difficult.
Speaker 1: So I know yours, yours so good. You should have
Speaker 1: a master's in journalism. Hard writing. I feel like you're
Speaker 1: very in touch with your feelings when you write stuff,
Speaker 1: whereas we're a bit like try and make things funny.
Speaker 1: I know Reese was like saying I wouldn't be emotional
Speaker 1: at all, and I did have a tear in my
Speaker 1: eye during his vows, But then I had to pull
Speaker 1: it together because I went, second.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what.
Speaker 1: What what are you gonna say?
Speaker 2: Just a hard person to make cry.
Speaker 1: I did have tears in my eyes, so you could
Speaker 1: see it, could you not. I thought i'd be a
Speaker 1: mess because I for some reason, like because I've been
Speaker 1: so excited for the wedding when I go to sleep,
Speaker 1: I was like sort of picturing what it would be like.
Speaker 1: But I think I only got teary when the mention
Speaker 1: of our all of our grandparents happened. That's when I
Speaker 1: sort of had a little tear. And I think it's
Speaker 1: different for the girls because you've been getting ready all day.
Speaker 1: So we started getting ready at what seven am a am?
Speaker 1: And it was almost felt more like a performance. Because
Speaker 1: you're all done up. You don't want to ruin your makeup. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm not very emotional in front of crowds. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't like public speaking either, so I just was
Speaker 1: a not to look at anyone. You mentioned Love Island
Speaker 1: during your speech, I feel like you've got to tell
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: I wanted to make it a bit more fun as well,
Speaker 1: So in the vow, like in terms of making promises,
Speaker 1: I said that Reese could watched all the basketball he wanted,
Speaker 1: as long as he watches Love Island with me. And
Speaker 1: it's good timing because the Winter Editions just started, so
Speaker 1: after Ginny and Georgia were going to start bringing that.
Speaker 1: What song did you guys end up choosing for the ceremony?
Speaker 1: We went with when You Say Nothing at All by
Speaker 1: Ron and Keating. We had a singer their James Terrence,
Speaker 1: who did a really good job. All the other ones
Speaker 1: we had all the other ones. We had Dreams and
Speaker 1: we had Ellie Goulding. Yep, that was when we walked
Speaker 1: back down. Is that still falling for you? That's the title,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, we had a couple of other ones.
Speaker 1: Someone did ask us how many Taylor Swift songs we
Speaker 1: had playing at the wedding. There was quite a few.
Speaker 1: It was mainly you Belong with Me. We had that
Speaker 1: performed live, and then we also had that when we
Speaker 1: walked out. We did get a few questions about what
Speaker 1: song the bridesmaids and groomsmen ended up walking into. Was
Speaker 1: quite cool because Reese and Kate met through work, which
Speaker 1: where they worked at the thirty six is obviously a
Speaker 1: basketball club. So you guys had this really cool MC.
Speaker 1: I can't remember his name, if you want.
Speaker 2: To give me Downtown Alan Brown.
Speaker 1: So he's the court announcer. Is that it? Yeah, the
Speaker 1: court announcer for the thirty sixers. So we had a
Speaker 1: basketball style themed entry and the girls ended up walking
Speaker 1: in or running in or whatever they wanted to do,
Speaker 1: dancing into Hanson's Where's the Love And it was so
Speaker 1: funny because we're all standing waiting. Pip, Kate's bridemaid was
Speaker 1: one of the first to walk in and she just
Speaker 1: pulled this dance out of nowhere. She's a professional dancer
Speaker 1: and was so funny. We were like, holy fuck, what
Speaker 1: are we going to do after that? Like we can't
Speaker 1: outdo that? Yeah, Well, the photographer was very taken by
Speaker 1: Pip because, as you said, she's a professionally trained ballerina,
Speaker 1: and she's like wow when she walked down the aisle,
Speaker 1: I was just like in awe and mesmerized by her,
Speaker 1: and we're like, wow, she's a dancer. She's like, oh,
Speaker 1: that makes a bit more sense. Someone wrote in saying
Speaker 1: that they loved that we arrived in a relatively normal car.
Speaker 1: Now this was your idea, Reese.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a look at getting some cars through
Speaker 2: different supplies and that sort of side of things. But
Speaker 2: you know, when we put it all together for about
Speaker 2: what twenty minutes drive altogether, it was pretty hard to
Speaker 2: come up with that amount of cash. And we decided
Speaker 2: to get an eight seat to get the boys around
Speaker 2: all weekend, and then you know Kate being disorganized for
Speaker 2: the wedding what and you know Kate's decision to steal
Speaker 2: it on the day as well and get Dale Amy's
Speaker 2: partner to drive and do that was was actually quite
Speaker 2: good and just probably normalized what we actually do.
Speaker 1: I think it was a great idea though, because it
Speaker 1: was really fun having everyone in there and it was
Speaker 1: quite spacious. I had Mum and Dad on either side
Speaker 1: of me, and the bridesmaids were in the back and
Speaker 1: we had a bit of a sing along to You
Speaker 1: Belong with Me, and it was probably one of the
Speaker 1: funniest moments of the whole day because even our dad
Speaker 1: was joining in, like how does he know the words?
Speaker 2: Poor dar? I'm sure it was a slightly different drive
Speaker 2: than the boys of the ceremony.
Speaker 1: Well, all your beers were left in the car. My
Speaker 1: mum was absolutely clinging onto my hand. She started getting
Speaker 1: teary as we got into the car. It was very cute. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I reckon it was my favorite part of the day
Speaker 1: as well, because I think that sometimes the drive can
Speaker 1: be a little bit somber and everyone's nervous, but I
Speaker 1: feel like everyone rose to the occasion and just made
Speaker 1: it fun. I reckon, I'm going to have to hire
Speaker 1: one of these minibuses too for mine, because it was
Speaker 1: just fun to share it with everyone, because I know
Speaker 1: sometimes it's just you and your dad, but I think
Speaker 1: it kind of helped curve a few nerves for you. Perhaps.
Speaker 1: Let's get into the reception, because I was blown away
Speaker 1: by how incredible it looked. You guys had it at Maximilian's,
Speaker 1: which is atver Done in South Australia and the flowers,
Speaker 1: I think they stole the show. Oh my gosh. I
Speaker 1: was very nervous about the flowers because I've obviously never
Speaker 1: planned a wedding and our friend has a friend who
Speaker 1: is a florist, and of course her wedding flowers were amazing,
Speaker 1: and so we booked her in her name's Adele and
Speaker 1: business is called The Lost Florists, and I would highly
Speaker 1: recommend her. She dropped the flowers off around ten a
Speaker 1: and it just got me so excited for the day
Speaker 1: because they were just so much better than I ever expected,
Speaker 1: so much better than the Pinterest board that I had created.
Speaker 1: I think what was good about them is I haven't
Speaker 1: really seen too many people have that exact color palette.
Speaker 1: So it was lots of blushes and corals and even
Speaker 1: a bit of yellow and orange and there it was
Speaker 1: so pretty. And then your bouquet was all white roses.
Speaker 1: It was enormous. You did such an incredible door. I
Speaker 1: couldn't get over it because I was expecting it to
Speaker 1: be smaller, and it just blew my mind how big
Speaker 1: the bunch of flowers were. It was incredible. I did
Speaker 1: copy Steph Clere Smith's color palette. I know you're saying
Speaker 1: it was very unique, but it wasn't. And because I
Speaker 1: don't have thirty three million dollars like Steph Clere Smith,
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, just substitute some of the premium
Speaker 1: roses out. I mean, there was still so many roses.
Speaker 1: But I was shocked at how similar it actually looked
Speaker 1: to Stamps. I was so happy with it. You guys
Speaker 1: also went down the route of having the long tables.
Speaker 1: There was lots of gold fairy lights and the food
Speaker 1: was amazing. Yeah, someone did ask saying they wanted to
Speaker 1: know all the details about the food. So I can't
Speaker 1: quite remember exactly what the meat eaters ate because I
Speaker 1: had a vegetarian meal which was like a barada salad
Speaker 1: and stuff zucchini leaves. You guys had like basically meat
Speaker 1: and chicken. But it was a bit fancier, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. We went up a couple of months before
Speaker 2: and had a fuel food tasting which was up my Ali,
Speaker 2: so that was great. And yeah, we ended up choosing
Speaker 2: a pork and salmon alternate drop for entree, and then
Speaker 2: a beef and chicken alturna to drop as well for dinner,
Speaker 2: which was sublime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, recently got pulled away just as the mains were
Speaker 1: being served and he had been really looking forward to
Speaker 1: his steak, but the kitchen nicely put them away for us.
Speaker 1: But it was so funny. We went to take our
Speaker 1: sunset photos and our photographer Megan Coles, who was also incredible,
Speaker 1: and our videographer Kelly from KMS Vision. They took us
Speaker 1: to this abandon I'd tell you, you'd call it a
Speaker 1: field on the side of the.
Speaker 2: Road, probably not an abandoned but well not abandoned.
Speaker 1: But they're like, we're empty. They're like, we're not sure
Speaker 1: this public or private property, but let's have a go.
Speaker 1: And there was this massive fence, probably what nearly taller
Speaker 1: than me alright, being.
Speaker 2: Melodramatic, melodramatic, it was like, you know, just below shovel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're like, oh, do you feel comfortable, you know,
Speaker 1: climbing over the fence. And I was a bit taken
Speaker 1: aback because I'd had no idea how I was going
Speaker 1: to do it, because my dress was pretty tight and
Speaker 1: my arms are really restricted in terms of because the
Speaker 1: dress was off the shoulder, I barely could lift them
Speaker 1: above my head. So Reese kindly helped me across the
Speaker 1: fence and we took the best photos there though, like
Speaker 1: I've only seen a few of them, but I think
Speaker 1: it was worth it. You guys haven't even touched on
Speaker 1: the gelati. I feel like that was a real standout feature.
Speaker 1: I loved it. Oh yeah, So originally when we met
Speaker 1: with our wedding planner at Maximilians, He's like, I'm going
Speaker 1: to be honest, no one wants to eat your bloody
Speaker 1: wedding cake. So originally we were going to have a
Speaker 1: big cake, but we went with one of those retro
Speaker 1: eighties nineties cakes and I loved it so much. It
Speaker 1: was from Little Lil's Bakery. And then we ended up
Speaker 1: having gelati, as you said, from Jelatissimo, and they were
Speaker 1: so great. We had a bit of a competition about
Speaker 1: who would pick the best favors. Frere rash Air was
Speaker 1: what I picked, and it was gone well it was.
Speaker 1: The other pick was mint Chock and that probably was
Speaker 1: the least popular.
Speaker 2: But it's a surprise surprise, but a lot of.
Speaker 1: People came up to me and raved and said they
Speaker 1: were so excited it was there. And we also have
Speaker 1: some Jelati to collect later, and I like chop mint,
Speaker 1: so that's left. Well. I loved it though, because it
Speaker 1: was this cute little cart so when people were hungry
Speaker 1: they could go up and have some ice cream. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like, here's your bowl of ice cream and light
Speaker 1: throw it at you. It was very cute. I hope
Speaker 1: no one was throwing ice cream. I think the speeches
Speaker 1: were another favorite part of mine, not just because Amy
Speaker 1: and I gave us not such double brag there. Yes,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the other speeches because you guys had your
Speaker 1: parents speaking and then the best man and maids of honor. Yes,
Speaker 1: we did. The speeches were really good. I think they
Speaker 1: set the tone of the night. A lot of people
Speaker 1: came up and was like, oh, we just loved how
Speaker 1: personal they were and also how funny they were. So
Speaker 1: Mum and Dad really blew me away with their speech.
Speaker 1: It was full of like lovely anecdotes and it's weird
Speaker 1: to see our dad get emotional. He's a man of
Speaker 1: few words usually, but he really rose to the occasion,
Speaker 1: as did Mum. When I gave my speech at the end,
Speaker 1: which someone did ask did Kate end up actually finishing
Speaker 1: writing her speech? Because you shared a little snippet from
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of me saying I hadn't written my
Speaker 1: speech yet. I have a story about why I didn't
Speaker 1: finish writing my speech. So it was my last thing
Speaker 1: to do. And Sophie has decided to wear contact lenses
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, and well, your wedding,
Speaker 1: so i''s have to see. So she got her nails
Speaker 1: done and she asked to get a very small tip
Speaker 1: on them. However, it wasn't exactly what you wanted. It's
Speaker 1: quite a large to have clause at the moment to
Speaker 1: be removed. So basically she was struggling to get a
Speaker 1: contact lens out. It got to one am and she
Speaker 1: still couldn't get it out, and we were sharing a
Speaker 1: room and I was trying to, like, I was like,
Speaker 1: the fuck, just get it out, and I was trying
Speaker 1: to like get my fingers into your eye and pull
Speaker 1: it out. And then I was like, I kept telling Kat,
Speaker 1: you're actually really hurting me. Going blonde, kept going on
Speaker 1: how painful it was, and then I looked into her
Speaker 1: eye and it wasn't even in there. It had come out.
Speaker 1: I know because you took an hour to try to
Speaker 1: get her so it must have popped out without knowing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a nice way to end the night anyway.
Speaker 1: So I blame you because I actually forgot to thank
Speaker 1: the bridesmaids in the speech, so I'll publicly thank you
Speaker 1: guys now for everything that you did for me during
Speaker 1: the wedding process. But well, Dad lost it during your speech,
Speaker 1: so he must have done all right. Like he was
Speaker 1: actually full on crying. One of our family friends was
Speaker 1: trying to catchize with us, being yeah, God. I looked
Speaker 1: up and I was like, what's going on because I
Speaker 1: didn't think I said anything that amazing in it, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it really got to him. And then when we did
Speaker 1: a dance later, I was like, Dad, were you crying?
Speaker 1: He's like, no, your parents and brother did a beautiful
Speaker 1: speech as well. This was very touching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. I think Dad went first for us
Speaker 2: and that was it was pretty good because he's such
Speaker 2: a business like man like, he's done plenty of speeches
Speaker 2: before in front of a lot of people, and he
Speaker 2: sort of went off script a little bit, which was nice.
Speaker 2: He hasn't done that a lot, so you know, he
Speaker 2: loves kid and he wanted to I guess share how
Speaker 2: much he does. And you know, Mum was on the opposite.
Speaker 2: She's all emotion and for her to get through that
Speaker 2: was sad was pretty special as well.
Speaker 1: Their speeches are beautiful. That's the thing. It is such
Speaker 1: an emotional day because you always think about the people
Speaker 1: who aren't there with you, and I think that you're
Speaker 1: focusing so much on the day. But then when you're
Speaker 1: there talking about everyone, I think that's when all the
Speaker 1: emotions start pouring out. I did enjoy Ryan's speech. He
Speaker 1: made a great joke about so everyone says that Reese
Speaker 1: is very chatty in work situations and that's probably why
Speaker 1: we you know, we met at work, but he's very
Speaker 1: quiet outside of work. And Ryan said that now that
Speaker 1: we're married, we can have our own spin off podcast
Speaker 1: called Unspoken, which I thought was pretty clever. He's starting,
Speaker 1: is correct? Oh? I know, yeah, you only say correct. Well,
Speaker 1: he's starting his podcast career now, so you know, let
Speaker 1: us know, do you want a spin off Cooled Unspoken? Unspoken?
Speaker 1: I think you're speaking quite a lot now if you
Speaker 1: can get a word in with us. And of course
Speaker 1: Sophie and Amy. I was a bit nervous when you
Speaker 1: guys did your speech because there were some disagreements about
Speaker 1: if it was appropriate. You kept having a fight with
Speaker 1: Amy in front of me about you coming up with
Speaker 1: some zinger lines. And I thought it was going to
Speaker 1: be a complete roast, and I was correct. It was
Speaker 1: a roast. But I really enjoyed it. I was just
Speaker 1: nervous because I didn't know how you took it.
Speaker 2: No, it was great. I loved it. There was some
Speaker 2: good one liners in there that some people in the
Speaker 2: audience definitely got as well. So it was good for all.
Speaker 1: And what about the dance, because Kate's been a bit nervous.
Speaker 1: You have been trying to give Kate some dancing lessons.
Speaker 1: How did they go? Well? Just to put it into perspective,
Speaker 1: Reese and his family are or like a grade dancers.
Speaker 1: His brother is a professional dancer. What was that? What
Speaker 1: was that show? Ryan was on?
Speaker 2: So you think you can dance?
Speaker 1: Yes? And then pip as I was saying, his partner
Speaker 1: is a professional ballerina and you, I mean you were
Speaker 1: a former stripper in your day. I'm just joking. Reese
Speaker 1: is very good at dancing. I think all the outspoken
Speaker 1: listeners saw him doing the worm recently. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: waiting for you to pull that one out.
Speaker 2: It's hard to do to Hanson or s Club seven.
Speaker 1: I know reeswere were you on the dance law because
Speaker 1: we were all having a good time and you were
Speaker 1: nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 2: Just keeping the guests happy. You know, someone's got to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: But what did you think of our first dance? Because
Speaker 1: we ended up practicing what four days out?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm trying to get her to practice probably
Speaker 2: a couple of months out, and she's like, no, No,
Speaker 2: that's your job, that's your job. It's like no, but
Speaker 2: you've got to actually join me in dance. So I
Speaker 2: went to a few YouTube tutorials just to see, just
Speaker 2: to see what I can do. Night one was probably
Speaker 2: the funniest experience in my life trying to get this
Speaker 2: robot to dance. We had two dogs just staring at us,
Speaker 2: going what is happening? So yeah, no, it was good fun.
Speaker 2: We pulled it together somehow. I don't know if anyone
Speaker 2: saw I was whispering, not some sweet nothings, but some
Speaker 2: dance steps and one then two.
Speaker 1: You guys did well. Though I was impressed, I was
Speaker 1: standing quite far away, but I didn't get much feedback
Speaker 1: from it, so I didn't know if it was awful,
Speaker 1: and I did ask the videographer. I said, look, before
Speaker 1: you feel it, is there anything you can do to
Speaker 1: make it look a bit better, any special effect? She
Speaker 1: said she'd just put it on slow mo. But Pip
Speaker 1: kept saying to me after, oh my god, Kate, you
Speaker 1: had the most perfect face for when you were dancing.
Speaker 1: I don't know what face I was playing. I surprised
Speaker 1: it wasn't resting bitch face, because that's usually what you
Speaker 1: have when you concentrated. Well, I just had resa at one,
Speaker 1: two three. I did stuff up the spin in at
Speaker 1: the end because it was meant to be a bit
Speaker 1: of a dip. But I was very nervous about ripping
Speaker 1: my dress and also just dancing in front of people
Speaker 1: because it never happens well our dad, because you guys
Speaker 1: didn't have the traditional daddy daughter dance where there's like
Speaker 1: a separate song. You had Reese, you had your mum
Speaker 1: come in and then dad came in, and the whole
Speaker 1: lead up that we kept saying to Dad, I think
Speaker 1: you got to practice your dance. What are you going
Speaker 1: to do? And he kept saying He's going to do
Speaker 1: a putuzzi. I don't even know what the fuck that is.
Speaker 1: But he definitely just did a normal dance and it
Speaker 1: was quite sweet. I feel like we need to mention
Speaker 1: the bouquet toss as well. We did have a florist
Speaker 1: asking us if we did a bouquet toss because she
Speaker 1: was saying it kills her when so much effort goes
Speaker 1: into the bridal bouquet and it's just thrown around. I
Speaker 1: did get a bunch of fake flowers from my gear
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to lose my flowers. And I
Speaker 1: did tell my cousin's girlfriend, Look, she's a six foot
Speaker 1: two netballer. I said, look, stand directly behind me and
Speaker 1: just hip and shoulder everyone out of the way and
Speaker 1: leap up to grab it. But you and Amy joined
Speaker 1: the crowd, even though you're engaged if you're not married yet,
Speaker 1: but you were engaged out of it anyway, but we
Speaker 1: were trying to make up the numbers. Anyway. You ended
Speaker 1: up catching the bouquet. So what happened was Kate throws
Speaker 1: it back. I was literally sort of just standing, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of close to you in the middle. Wasn't really
Speaker 1: going for it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: I saw that he and the bouquet hit the roof,
Speaker 1: and then I just went forward and got it. But
Speaker 1: I felt like a bit of an asshole because did
Speaker 1: you catch it or pick it off for the ground? No,
Speaker 1: I caught it. I felt like an asshole.
Speaker 2: While elbows out my stairs.
Speaker 1: Well, I saw my little second cousin who's like eighteen
Speaker 1: s Dowdy next to me, and I thought, holy fuck.
Speaker 1: I hope I did not push her over. So I
Speaker 1: quickly gave her the bouquet flowers and she was thrilled
Speaker 1: about that. But then afterwards Amy, she had this huge
Speaker 1: cut down her arm. Yeah, because apparently it did get
Speaker 1: a bit in there. The fingernails were coming out, like yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, people getting scratched up. But it's funny because
Speaker 1: I feel like there is some truth in it because
Speaker 1: I caught the bouquet at my friend Owen's wedding. It
Speaker 1: was five years ago, but I am the first to
Speaker 1: get married out of that whole group of girls. We
Speaker 1: know what, though, maybe it's a sign that Amy should
Speaker 1: move a wedding after mine now that I've caught the bouquet.
Speaker 1: Maybe that was a bit of a fuck you over
Speaker 1: the whole issue. Well, someone did ask us it was
Speaker 1: there any it was there a race to be the
Speaker 1: first married? And is there any competition around weddings? I
Speaker 1: think so could just answer that competition around it. But
Speaker 1: even like some of our interstate guests when they were
Speaker 1: like when you're in Amy's dex and one of them's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's a bit close to come over both. Oh, they
Speaker 1: have to pick which one they love more. For me,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a race. I just got engaged first. No
Speaker 1: burn there or anything. But I mean we were together
Speaker 1: for the shortest amount of time, so is another burning.
Speaker 1: That's just a message for Dale and Brandon. You know,
Speaker 1: someone did ask they wanted to know more about Kate's
Speaker 1: ring and how you selected it because you brought your
Speaker 1: good friend with you. I'd like to hear this too,
Speaker 1: because Reese was being really cryptic about it, which is
Speaker 1: very much like Reese.
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like me at all. Yeah, I took
Speaker 2: a good, really good friend of mine, Carli along. She
Speaker 2: knows me really well. Yes, you know, wholesome pinterest. A
Speaker 2: little bit before it's to my shock, we went into
Speaker 2: Class A Jewelers and we saw the amazing Daniel there.
Speaker 2: He picked out sort of two rings that might suit,
Speaker 2: and I pretty much instantly said, yeah, that one is fantastic.
Speaker 2: It's pretty much when I was looking at beforehand. Carli
Speaker 2: definitely agreed. So yeah, no, actually, overall it was pretty
Speaker 2: easy and I'm lucky probably I hopefully got it right.
Speaker 1: No, I loved it. I was very excited. I remember
Speaker 1: you opened the box when you proposed, and I was
Speaker 1: just like blinded by bling, and I was I was
Speaker 1: just just all shocked because I remember having a fear
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't like my engagement ry, not from you,
Speaker 1: but just in general, like Amy had a dream. I
Speaker 1: remember that Dale got her an Opal No offensive, anyone
Speaker 1: likes Ople's. But no, I was so thrilled with it.
Speaker 1: And then we got our wedding bands from Brandon's uncle
Speaker 1: who was a jeweler. So and they're amazing. You've got
Speaker 1: a little diamond.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a little bleaning got so much bling
Speaker 2: on their ring.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't even know the name of Brandon's auntie
Speaker 1: uncle's jeweler. Is it Urban I believe it's Urban Craft.
Speaker 1: So they're in Brisbane. And they were amazing. They did
Speaker 1: everything over email and they even sent us the rings
Speaker 1: before we paid for them and they just like arrived.
Speaker 1: I'm like, do you want us to send you some money?
Speaker 1: They're probably not usually that trusting to non relatives. I
Speaker 1: hope not. We did have a lot of questions from
Speaker 1: brides to be about advice. So what is your best
Speaker 1: advice for those who were sort of starting the planning process? Now?
Speaker 1: I did ask Reese for some input in this one,
Speaker 1: but I joked like I planned the whole wedding, which
Speaker 1: was an on running joke. During the wedding. He did
Speaker 1: organize the cars, and he did have a job to
Speaker 1: bring sparklers, but they.
Speaker 2: Was forgotten and the suits suits.
Speaker 1: I want to ask the listeners, I have to butt
Speaker 1: in here. Okay, you don't use talk like this in
Speaker 1: the podcast. I feel like this is your very loved
Speaker 1: up sort of like really your little like baby voice
Speaker 1: with Reese, is it? I think so? I think everyone's
Speaker 1: going to be shocked that, like, where's that girl who's
Speaker 1: just like what you about stuff? We're talking about our wedding? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: there it was. I hear a bit more of the
Speaker 1: novel voice, but we're usually screaming to each other during
Speaker 1: the podcast, and he's open eye. There's no fights currently
Speaker 1: because Reese is here, well, my best behavior. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: my advice would be to create a Google doc sheet
Speaker 1: and have all of your info in one document. So
Speaker 1: when I started getting quotes from suppliers, I had a
Speaker 1: tab for save venues, you know, different things, and then
Speaker 1: have your budget in there. And I think it's important
Speaker 1: to work the budget out first, because I was pretty
Speaker 1: shocked at how much weddings cost, Like I'd always heard
Speaker 1: they're expensive, but so only when you start getting quotes
Speaker 1: that you're like, holy shit. So it's really good to
Speaker 1: be able to track the budget. And I found setting
Speaker 1: the dates of when things would do was really helpful.
Speaker 1: And then I would suggest joining a Facebook group called
Speaker 1: wedge shed, so they it's in a national group in
Speaker 1: Australia and everyone just posts their inspo and have different
Speaker 1: questions in there, and I found it really useful. And
Speaker 1: then I mean I'd spent time on Pinterest, but I
Speaker 1: actually found webshed the group a lot better. I think
Speaker 1: it's because it's real people in there, so it's not
Speaker 1: these influencers or celebrities who have unlimited budget. It's actually
Speaker 1: what real people have done. Yeah, there was another question
Speaker 1: about what were some things that you could you can
Speaker 1: do cheap or maybe when you are in a budget.
Speaker 1: I suppose the car is probably one of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for us, I mean it depends if you're a car person.
Speaker 1: Like we weren't car people, and spending a couple of
Speaker 1: ground on cars wasn't really a priority for us. My
Speaker 1: other suggestion is to for like the wedding stationary so
Speaker 1: for your invites and envelopes to use Etsy. So we
Speaker 1: bought just a really cheap template. I think it ended
Speaker 1: up being forty dollars for a template for like the
Speaker 1: seating plan invites menus, and we ended up using that.
Speaker 1: But then I organized it to get printed at Peterkin Paper,
Speaker 1: so they're a Western Australian business, and they were so good.
Speaker 1: I literally emailed this woman probably like fifty times asking
Speaker 1: her different quotes on papers, because that was one thing
Speaker 1: that I was shocked at. I think I spent the
Speaker 1: most time in terms of planning trying to work out
Speaker 1: what colored paper to use for the invites. I suppose
Speaker 1: it sets the tone of what the wedding's going to be.
Speaker 1: I think what you guys did really cleverly as well
Speaker 1: was you didn't do is it bomb and areas. Is
Speaker 1: that what they're called. You didn't do like the little
Speaker 1: gift because I feel like no one even ends up
Speaker 1: taking the gift. And I thought it was clever because
Speaker 1: on the menus you had the person's name, so then
Speaker 1: you're not having to spend extra money on a name
Speaker 1: tag that's going to go missing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, because even though we did the Etsy ten plates,
Speaker 1: printing is really expensive in paper, so it was good
Speaker 1: to do have menu and name tag all in one.
Speaker 1: Another tip would also be with the seating plan. We
Speaker 1: had people dropping out the week of of course, when
Speaker 1: we had just paid the bill and the seating plan
Speaker 1: changed quite a few times in that week, and if
Speaker 1: we had purchased one of those really flash seating plans,
Speaker 1: I would have been really annoyed. So we ended up
Speaker 1: just getting a poster of it printed from Office Works
Speaker 1: and putting it in a frame, and we also did
Speaker 1: the same for our welcome board, and I think it
Speaker 1: still looked effective, Like I was happy with that. I mean,
Speaker 1: no one really gives a shit about those signs, I do.
Speaker 1: They blow over most of the time, and now we
Speaker 1: can use the frames again. So is there anything that
Speaker 1: you guys regretted on the day or think that you
Speaker 1: do differently personally. No, I was just shocked. How I
Speaker 1: did make a comment to you guys in the car
Speaker 1: before the ceremony. I'm going to regret it, but things
Speaker 1: are running so smoothie like. The morning was really relaxed.
Speaker 1: I actually had a really good time. I'd heard of
Speaker 1: people just stressing, but Marianne, our hairdresser, and Tire the
Speaker 1: makeup artists, were just like machines that were getting everyone
Speaker 1: done so quickly, and we had a really nice breakfast
Speaker 1: and just all were hanging out. We have to hear
Speaker 1: about the boys morning, so I haven't gone into that.
Speaker 1: I think it was very different because to set the scene,
Speaker 1: we were all staying at this incredible retreat in Sterling,
Speaker 1: which is up in the hills. It was like this
Speaker 1: old manner. It was just surrounded by all these beautiful
Speaker 1: trees and plants and everything, and you guys, all the
Speaker 1: boys were in sort of like a sectioned off area
Speaker 1: which wasn't quite as nigh out here. We got there first,
Speaker 1: and we did so I got the bridal sweet. I
Speaker 1: would say. It was a massive room with a king
Speaker 1: sized bed. There was this insane walking wardrobe, that's made
Speaker 1: me very depressed to go back to my built ins
Speaker 1: and it had an epic bathroom. I have to give
Speaker 1: you a big thank you so for you and Amy
Speaker 1: and the other bridesmaids for organizing the beautiful balloons. He
Speaker 1: really set the scene. But yeah, you guys had you
Speaker 1: still had a nice area.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that was amazing for us.
Speaker 1: When we saw the other side of the house.
Speaker 2: To day, Yeah, yeah, I didn't get the king sweet,
Speaker 2: but that's all right, No, it was good. We were
Speaker 2: super stressed. Now for us, it was super cruisy. The
Speaker 2: Sterling golf Club was right next door, so we played
Speaker 2: around of nine holes with nine guys on the friday,
Speaker 2: which is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Right, nearly
Speaker 2: killed all of us, my best man and brother, so
Speaker 2: none of us nearly turned up to the wedding.
Speaker 1: How did he do that?
Speaker 2: He managed to hit a golf ball backwards. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's actually possible, but it did say.
Speaker 1: That was just kept that quiet. You didn't hear about that.
Speaker 1: Just I mean, I know Ryan listens to the podcast
Speaker 1: and he got a little bit offended Amy and so well,
Speaker 1: Amy's not here. But when you guys said that you
Speaker 1: didn't know any of the bridal party, and I see,
Speaker 1: I would like to put that into perspective. I said
Speaker 1: I didn't know any of the grooms, meant and he
Speaker 1: was the best met I love right, and he's my
Speaker 1: new brother as well now, so shout out to Ryan.
Speaker 1: I also love Pip. I just want to steal her
Speaker 1: as my sister too. I know I think Pip's got
Speaker 1: three sisters now, if she likes it or not. But yeah,
Speaker 1: how did you guys go in the day of because
Speaker 1: we heard there was a lot of sitting around. You
Speaker 1: made a beautiful platter of fruit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it all started with a little spoon with
Speaker 2: each other because we had to sleep together in the
Speaker 2: same only two and two.
Speaker 1: But on Friday I get it's a message and I've
Speaker 1: literally written this full on itinerary. You know, I've got
Speaker 1: a map of the retreat for Reese to give the
Speaker 1: boys and it says like who's in each room? And
Speaker 1: I asked you you're happy with you know, do you
Speaker 1: want seven in your room? Or who do you want?
Speaker 1: And then I get this text, Oh where are the
Speaker 1: other rooms? Or like what's going on? Do you each
Speaker 1: have a room? But there's only six bedrooms you meant
Speaker 1: to be sharing.
Speaker 2: We were all happy to caudle. So yes, after that
Speaker 2: it was cruzy. So we went to Stirling to have
Speaker 2: some brecky. Then we went went got some fruit because
Speaker 2: you know what do you do that day off?
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, we had so much fruit you could have
Speaker 1: had needed it.
Speaker 2: Nice and fresh for the boys. Yeah. No, we got
Speaker 2: back and we just chewed out for a little bit.
Speaker 2: Videographer and photographer came in for us, which was like
Speaker 2: super cruisy.
Speaker 1: Do you have a hilarious moment with the photographer?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Meghan after our group shots in the in
Speaker 2: the lounde room. Meghan unfortunately for her because the boys
Speaker 2: picked up on it and said, Reese, you're gonna get
Speaker 2: your pet and Reese do you want to go get
Speaker 2: your portraits done? And oh, can you just follow me
Speaker 2: into the bedroom? So all the boys picked up on
Speaker 2: that for sure. I was like, oh, well I was
Speaker 2: getting married now. So that was a bit of fun
Speaker 2: during the day and relaxed everyone. So that was good.
Speaker 2: And then look, we watched them MBA and then you know,
Speaker 2: we were planning to leave about three thirty, so we
Speaker 2: all got ready about three twenty and hopped into the
Speaker 2: bus and wet. Good to go.
Speaker 1: So did you have your Did you originally get into
Speaker 1: the suits for the photos and then get out of
Speaker 1: them again?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, so that was easy.
Speaker 1: It was funny you say that about the bedroom photos
Speaker 1: because the videographer and photographer we're trying to get so
Speaker 1: they told the girls, can you go get into your dresses?
Speaker 1: And it was literally trying to to herd cats like
Speaker 1: you guys were just cats. Yeah, because it's impossible to
Speaker 1: hear them. Is that that's the same thing, Yeah, it is, okay. Anyway,
Speaker 1: you made it very difficult. You guys were all off
Speaker 1: in your own little world and they go, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we'll take some photos of you in this bedroom with
Speaker 1: all the balloons. Can you haven't even said what the
Speaker 1: balloons were. I got these balloons it spelled out bride
Speaker 1: to be, and then I got all of these helium balloons.
Speaker 1: I also almost died heading up to this retreat because
Speaker 1: I had I think it was fourteen balloons in the
Speaker 1: back of my cart. I drive a tiny Masda too,
Speaker 1: and I also had no natural but I couldn't pull
Speaker 1: over and stop because I was worried that the balloons
Speaker 1: would explode in the heat. So yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: dicey It was a dicey walk way back to the recovery.
Speaker 1: I very much appreciate it. It did look like a Pinterest
Speaker 1: photo when I went into the room, and so the
Speaker 1: photographer liked and she goes, so just get up onto
Speaker 1: the bed, and then it was like yeah, Kelly, well yeah,
Speaker 1: and her there was a male photographer of videographer two
Speaker 1: that was helping out, and they're like, yeah, so can
Speaker 1: you just like pull the balloons down and bounce around
Speaker 1: with them for a bit. And I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I hope the photos turned out okay, I've got no
Speaker 1: idea what they're going to look like. Also, in terms
Speaker 1: of your timings, it was quite funny because we were
Speaker 1: trying to go outside to take the bridal photos with
Speaker 1: the family and bridesmaids, and everyone's like, now, the boys
Speaker 1: are just about to leave, and it was just like
Speaker 1: this frantic communication back and forth because we were so
Speaker 1: worried you were going to see me. I kept screaming
Speaker 1: being like Brandon, where is res No.
Speaker 2: I was on a strict instruction to look forward and
Speaker 2: only forward.
Speaker 1: Oh so did you walk out when we were there no.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I was under strict instruction.
Speaker 1: I want to give some advice as a bridesmaid, because
Speaker 1: one thing I would say as a bridesmaid is make
Speaker 1: sure there's lots of tape just in case for you
Speaker 1: and the bride. There was a fair bit of like
Speaker 1: booty tape going on. Yeah, even Mum Mum was like
Speaker 1: fretting about this tape. So I think you need to
Speaker 1: equip yourself with all the things that the bride might need.
Speaker 1: And you also, Kate gave us these really beautiful gifts
Speaker 1: the morning of. So the night before you gave us
Speaker 1: some slippers to get around in, and then the morning
Speaker 1: of you got us these really cute ring boxes from
Speaker 1: the Daily Edited. So it was very thoughtful and also
Speaker 1: a bit of a handwritten note. So it made up
Speaker 1: for the fact that we didn't get a mansion in
Speaker 1: the speech. Oh, I did personal cards for you guys.
Speaker 1: Someone did ask me about what rees got me, and
Speaker 1: it was very sweet because you delivered. You got the
Speaker 1: box delivered the day before. Pip came and brought on
Speaker 1: Friday night this big gold box from Peter Alexander and
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, how many pajamas are in here.
Speaker 1: It was a massive box. I didn't know they did
Speaker 1: gift boxes. It was heavy too, so more than pajamas
Speaker 1: in here. Yes, we were under strict instructions to open
Speaker 1: the Presence on camera, you know, capture those moments, so
Speaker 1: we were running out of time. So I felt very rude,
Speaker 1: but because I opened it up and there were so
Speaker 1: many beautiful things inside, but I had to do a
Speaker 1: really quick rate of the card and then pull them out.
Speaker 1: But Reees got me these amazing pink, silky Peter Alexander pajamas,
Speaker 1: which I love. Yeah, they're so nice. And then some
Speaker 1: gray slippers and a beautiful necklace from I'm gonna Swarowski.
Speaker 1: Don't say that right, that means generational. There's a symbol.
Speaker 1: This is very special. I felt bad I didn't wear
Speaker 1: it on the wedding day only because the neckline was
Speaker 1: very didn't suit it. And then Reese also got me
Speaker 1: a candle and a candle plate. I opened the candleplate
Speaker 1: before and all the videographers like, what is it? We like,
Speaker 1: we think it's a mirror. What did you get, Reese?
Speaker 2: Oh? Is that all you got?
Speaker 1: Oh? And the beautiful charm from Pandora, which had family
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 2: I learned from the showercuty incident.
Speaker 1: See. I feel so bad because Reese never listens to
Speaker 1: the podcast, but I think someone gave you the heads up.
Speaker 1: You listen to the podcast where I discussed the shower
Speaker 1: caddy for those who didn't hear that. One got me
Speaker 1: some beautiful gifts at Christmas, but one was a shower
Speaker 1: caddy and it did trigger me. I think I hadn't
Speaker 1: had much sleep that date, so and we haven't returned
Speaker 1: it yet. We need to get onto that. No, but
Speaker 1: I just want to get a different one of them.
Speaker 1: You can return the shower caddy. It just doesn't fit
Speaker 1: the shower I digress. Now, Reese, wad cake get you?
Speaker 2: So mine was pretty special, as you all probably know,
Speaker 2: we have two beautiful colnen a tree was Shadow and Sunny.
Speaker 2: So my present was a amazing sort of cuff link
Speaker 2: personalized box. I don't know what you'd call.
Speaker 1: It, oh the jewelry box. Yeah, some daily edit as well.
Speaker 2: It is a box, I guess. And then in there
Speaker 2: was two customized cuff links of Shadow and Sunny, which
Speaker 2: actually four little pieces of clay that I'm figuring molded
Speaker 2: that they look spot on. So very very special for me.
Speaker 1: Did you wear them at the wedding because I didn't
Speaker 1: notice them?
Speaker 2: No, my shirt didn't have any Caulf links, So yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I'll make sure I'll wear them for a special occasion,
Speaker 2: maybe some weddings coming up.
Speaker 1: It was pretty cute because you've got the same ones
Speaker 1: for dad, but you got our cats on them, and
Speaker 1: our cat, Lulu has recently passed away, so it made
Speaker 1: it a little bit more special that she was at
Speaker 1: least there in spirit. Yeah, they're so cute. I have
Speaker 1: to link in the show notes, maybe the person that
Speaker 1: made them on Etsy, because they're incredible and the service
Speaker 1: was so good. Someone else wrote in asking how many
Speaker 1: guests did you have? So we had ninety four I
Speaker 1: believe in the end, so it was a really good number.
Speaker 1: Another person asked, would you have preferred a smaller wedding.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was a particularly big wedding. I mean,
Speaker 1: I originally thought we'd probably have about eighty people, but
Speaker 1: I think it was a perfect number. I hopefully got
Speaker 1: around to nearly everyone, and I think the vibe was
Speaker 1: just so good in there because we made sure we
Speaker 1: invited people that were legitimately close to us. Because I've
Speaker 1: been to weddings in the past where you feel like
Speaker 1: they've probably invited people that aren't as invested into them
Speaker 1: as you are. So yeah, did you think the guests
Speaker 1: were good?
Speaker 2: Rece Yeah, correct, got the number correct.
Speaker 1: What about the day? Everyone says that your wedding day
Speaker 1: goes super fast? Did you guys sort of try and
Speaker 1: soaker all in? It did go really fast? Like I
Speaker 1: when they said, oh, we're getting ready for your exit,
Speaker 1: I was shocked because I would have loved to stay longer.
Speaker 1: And I think that's why it was so good that
Speaker 1: we had the share accommodation with the bridal party, because
Speaker 1: it was really fun going back in the bus and
Speaker 1: having chats afterwards. But the day was just so incredible.
Speaker 1: I woke up the next morning just I feel like
Speaker 1: it's after the day that you take in all the
Speaker 1: special moments. But I mean, I think it was even
Speaker 1: though you know you missed out on having your meal
Speaker 1: completely hot, I think it was really fun going and
Speaker 1: doing the sunset photos together because I mean, we did
Speaker 1: have a team of photographers with us, but it was
Speaker 1: just nice to do something together because a lot of
Speaker 1: the day is just spending time with your bridesmaids or groomsmen,
Speaker 1: and you don't spend heaps of time together during the
Speaker 1: actual day. So but no, it did go so quickly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was the same. I think it probably dawned
Speaker 2: on me a little bit when Megan, our photographer when
Speaker 2: we went to the sunset photos, was like, so it's
Speaker 2: almost over, and you look at your watch and you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: we've only got like two hours left. And but yeah,
Speaker 2: little lots of little moments that make up a whole
Speaker 2: great memory. So it does go very quick. But it
Speaker 2: was a very special day.
Speaker 1: And that's why I think it's so important to have,
Speaker 1: if you can afford it, a photographer and videographer, because
Speaker 1: then you can always relive the moments. And I also
Speaker 1: think it was such a great idea that you guys
Speaker 1: had a recovery the next day, because I know that
Speaker 1: I wanted to catch up with so many people and
Speaker 1: hear their experience on the day, because like, quite honestly,
Speaker 1: not to pump up your tires, but it was the
Speaker 1: best wedding I've ever been to, and it's probably one
Speaker 1: of the best days of my life. It was so special.
Speaker 2: Into it.
Speaker 1: You did, though your speech was so cute. Everything was
Speaker 1: like really lovely and yeah, it was just very you guys,
Speaker 1: so it was special. Thank you. I'm very much looking
Speaker 1: forward to your weddings now because it's I think it's
Speaker 1: fun to be It's obviously fun to have your wedding,
Speaker 1: but growing up triplets, it's kind of daunting having I
Speaker 1: know it's two of us, but having a lot of
Speaker 1: tension on you not used to it. So I'm kind
Speaker 1: of looking forward to Reese's brother's wedding, Ryan and Pip's
Speaker 1: wedding in I think it's ten weeks now, and then
Speaker 1: Amy's in January next year, and then yours in March.
Speaker 1: You got an engagement party in there too, so it's
Speaker 1: going to be a fun time. I think this is
Speaker 1: a final question. Where are you guys heading off on
Speaker 1: a honeymoon soon or what's your dream honeymoon location? So
Speaker 1: we're not going on one soon. Reese's currently you're in
Speaker 1: season with the Adelai Lightning not playing. We did meet
Speaker 1: a neighbor the other day and Reese offered him Adelaid
Speaker 1: Lightning tickets. So those who don't live in Adelaide, they're
Speaker 1: the female professional basketball team, so reason why recent on
Speaker 1: the podcast to Plug the Lightning. Probably get your tickets
Speaker 1: head down Sport the Girls Saturday Night. Yeah. So, Reese
Speaker 1: is a general manager at Adelai Lightning and they're currently
Speaker 1: in season, so we can't go on a honeymoon, but
Speaker 1: I think we'd already planned to go sort of. I
Speaker 1: think in the middle of this year, try and get
Speaker 1: away from winter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think so. Unfortunately, Yeah, obviously I the
Speaker 2: busiest time of the year probably at the moment, but
Speaker 2: I'll get some time off in the middle of the
Speaker 2: year and hopefully Kate will as well. And I guess
Speaker 2: the spots we've been looking at it, I don't know,
Speaker 2: like Fiji, Singapore, maybe re experience and yeah, no, just
Speaker 2: a chance to get away for me, I want to
Speaker 2: do it properly. You know, you never know what is
Speaker 2: around the corner. So if we can, we can spend
Speaker 2: some special time together and not scrounge and that sort
Speaker 2: of stuff. And yeah, I do it really properly, go
Speaker 2: away and enjoy ourselves.
Speaker 1: I feel like kids was discussed a lot at the wedding.
Speaker 1: I know some people asked me if I was pregnant.
Speaker 1: I was like, did I look pregnant? No, you didn't
Speaker 1: look I'm not pregnant. For everyone wondering, not that I
Speaker 1: know it's very rude to ask. I know there were
Speaker 1: a lot of from your side in particular. Well, you
Speaker 1: made a comment to about kids. I mean, how dare
Speaker 1: you at our wedding talk about very presumptuously. Hopefully you
Speaker 1: get triplets as well, and you can just be as
Speaker 1: happy as I have heard. The older your eggs get,
Speaker 1: the more likely they are to split.
Speaker 2: So all right, so for off.
Speaker 1: Mama, bloody scramble. By the time I get mad, I've
Speaker 1: got some young sperm at all.
Speaker 2: Sort of Brandon does like scrambled eggs. Cook them.
Speaker 1: We do need to give Race a shout out. He
Speaker 1: was I think already. He got up at nine am
Speaker 1: to make everyone breakfast at the retreats. I think you've
Speaker 1: got a lot of brownie points for that. And I
Speaker 1: mean when I say breakfast, you did pancakes, bacon and eggs,
Speaker 1: mcmuffins sort.
Speaker 2: Of thingies, avocado and toast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very impressed. Yes, it was very young, and you
Speaker 1: raised the bar for husband's out there. Well, I think
Speaker 1: that's all we have time for. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for joining us near brother Reese and thanks for joining us,
Speaker 1: Kate Turner, It's been a quite a fun episode. I
Speaker 1: know we might have to do us bin off Unspoken
Speaker 1: where we just talked about nothing. Now we will be
Speaker 1: back to regular programming on Friday, but it will be
Speaker 1: just be Kate and I our dream. We've always joked
Speaker 1: that we're just going to get rid of Amy, make
Speaker 1: it easier. Just that's harsh. No, definitely not Amy's Damie.
Speaker 1: Amy's an important part. But yeah, so we'll be back
Speaker 1: on Friday with regular programming. Now. This podcast was recorded
