Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your hand us together and we're going to start
to party.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
And the start I'm running a party.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
See Elvis Duran After Party.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
All the After Party podcast County Love It talking on
the show about people who give up the thought of
a massive wedding with all the family and all the
friends and all the money spent, and just like go
to the courthouse and get married, or maybe run away
to another state just to get away from everyone and
(00:35):
just get married with the one you love. I got
Amanda from Akron. So, Amanda, is this you? Is this
really you? Amanda? Yes, Amanda's getting married in secret and
then running away to Tennessee. Are you getting married in Tennessee?
Or are you're running away to Tennessee after you get
married in secret? Tell us everything both.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I'm running away to Tennessee to get married.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Wow, Now why have you decided to oh do it?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
So?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Why have you decided to do this rather than you know,
inviting everyone to the wedding and the big hoopla.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Honestly, so the whole process of this whole thing has been, honestly,
so much easier listening to you guys every morning. Oh,
thank you, you guys are wonderful.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Oh thank you, You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
But serious. Okay, So I got divorced recently. I know
this sounds crazy. Okay, I got divorce a year ago.
The guy that I married was my high school crush.
Twenty two years later, here we are getting married.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You know, you hear the story every once in a while,
people got married to someone, they divorced them and they
end up going back to someone they knew a thousand
years ago. And I think that's awesome. That's a great story,
a full circle story, it really is.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
But the so the kicker is who I was. I
was married to a female prior to.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
All of this.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
We were together for seven years and it was a
very controlling relationship, like very narcissistic. I actually I've been
on air with you guys quite a few times. I
actually won a cruise with you guys, and I wasn't
allowed to take that cruise.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
What wow, Yeah, because she was toxic and controlling.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Oh god, well goodbye. But now you're getting married. Yeah,
but why did you have this on the down low?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
It's just people probably haven't a lot to think about
the sacon that I'm getting married directly a year after
I got divorced.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
There's nothing wrong with that, But you don't think there's
anyone in your circle that's happy for you, that would
love to celebrate with you.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I mean there is, Like my mom knows, his mom knows,
Like it's just the rest of everyone that we know
don't doesn't really know.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Okay, you know what, that's your business. It's your decision.
I always hate when people decide to get married and
have a big wedding and they are so so careful
in considering everyone else's feelings before their own.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I mean, I understand the importance maybe having parents there,
especially if they're praying for it, But you know what
I'm saying, it's just like, it's your decision. Gandhi, what
do you think?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I have so many questions? Okay, So what is the
reason that you are doing it exactly a year after
you got Is there like significance to you in that?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So we have kids, and my daughter has never had
her dad in her life, and this is the first
healthy relationship that I've been in. And she looks up
to him. She's fifteen, and she looks up to him
like a dad. And she actually proposed to him and
asked him to adopt her and he said absolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh my god, what a lovely story.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah. So, I don't know if it's across the board,
but in Ohio you have to be married for six
months before you can do an adoption process.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
My other question was gonna be do you think, like,
what is a time frame for you that you think
you'll be comfortable telling people or will there ever be
a time you're comfortable telling people?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Girl? Literally, as soon as it happens, then we're going
to be like, Okay, So.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
You just don't want people to try to talk you
out of it.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah. Not only that, but I don't want to hear
any kind of negative feedback. I guess you know, we're
super comfortable. I mean, I'm in my mid thirties. He
as well. We're just we've stayed friends since high school.
We've always kept in touch. It was either I was
in a relationship and he was single or vice versa.
(04:57):
It was never the right time, and it's finally the
right time for end. And I don't really want to
hear any kind of negative feedback from anyone to discourage that.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I get that good.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I mean, it's so easy to get I want to say, Gandhi,
this is my first time being on air and actually
being able to speak with you. I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Oh I love you.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Thank you for calling.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yes, I love you too.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You should marry Gandhi Oh yeah yeah, to get them.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I am from Ohio.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
She's not the marrying time now. It's so easy to
give advice to people like like like you, Amanda, like, well,
you know, who cares what people say? You know, there's
nothing wrong with like not giving them an opportunity to
say anything. I love the way you're doing this. It's like,
screw them. It's not about them. It's about you and
your happiness.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Absolutely. I mean, honestly, I feel like being in my thirties,
it's a little different. Like I don't want to spend
all of my money on this big, lavish wedding. I
want to go and make memories. I want to have
a small wedding and then go and have a good
time while we're in God and get pictures and make memories.
Because that's really, honestly, what it's all about. It's not
(06:05):
about the thousands of dollars I spend on everyone to
look at me.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I agree. What about you, Daniel, what are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I think that it's what she wants to do, and
she's in love and she didn't care what anybody else thinks.
I think, you know, and especially if she thinks it's
a really good thing for her child, because you know,
she said, you know, coming out of a crappy situation,
this is an amazing situation. And the fact that your
your daughter is the one that proposed and adopt me,
I feel like kids also know things, like they have
(06:32):
little inklings into things, and she knows who's a good
person and who's not.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You know, it is a great story. I'm glad you
shared that with us, by the way, and.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah, yes, and you guys, honestly, you guys have helped
me so much, Like when I was in the marriage
that I was in prior and listening to you guys
in the morning, it helped me so much because there
would be days some days I was like I can't
do this, like I'm just don't even feel like going
to work. I just feel like sleeping all day doing nothing,
(07:01):
like I'm just miserable. And I've listened to you guys,
and you guys were your phone taps, like I just
love everything. And and when you guys hurt, I hurt, Like,
I'm very empathetic. So I just you guys are like family.
And like I said, I've been on air a few
different times, like I've won the phone taps and played
match game, i won the Cruise, I did the Brooklyn betting,
(07:24):
I want to bed, and I've been on air with
you guys a ton of times.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Wow, you've been here more than we've been here.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I literally love you guys so much.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Well, thank you. You got to have questions, Karry, Yeah,
I just want to know what's it like from going
from being with a woman to being with a guy.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
So absolutely it's.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Like a big old honker. I'm kidding. I mean, what
do you think.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I can answer that. I mean, it's just it's not
I was with a man before. Obviously I have kids,
and then I was always interested in females. I thought,
you know, well we'll just see. I had a you know,
some health complications, ended up having to have a hysterectomy,
(08:21):
and I was like, well, I can't have any more kids.
I'm just gonna explore my options. And I found her
and we got married and it did not work out,
and I was stuck for about seven years and I
dipped literally January second, right after New Year's It was
literally a new year last year for me. Wow, and
(08:42):
my daughter.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Good for you, you know what you made that decision, you know,
and don't don't ever look at it like, oh, seven
years of my life wasted. No, it was all necessary
to get you on this journey that you're doing. For
whatever reason, the universe wanted you there in that relationship.
But now look where you are now. Good for you.
We're happy for you, Amanda. Good, good for you and
your family.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yes, thank you so much. I mean, we're counting down.
We're literally weeks away. We leave on the twenty eighth,
and we're getting married on the thirty first and getting close.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
