I hang out with Dennis and Deanna a lot, and couples.
Sheldon and I go out with them a lot. They
are so good for each other and so perfect, and
they are so adorable, and they play off each other
and they have the cutest relationship. I don't think they
should take your advice at all. They are perfect for
each other.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Absolutely. I mean, look, nobody gets married thinking they're going
to get divorced. So absolutely get married. Yes, all right, and.

Speaker 1 (01:41):

at some point in the future, she's really happy right
now and enjoying this. Let's just let her be happy
and enjoy this. Congratulations.

Speaker 5 (02:11):

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah, don't.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
Yeah, my hotel is actually not available yet, but I
will send you the link. Yes, wait mid November.

Speaker 9 (02:24):
Yeah, let's rint out a barn and stay.

Speaker 7 (02:26):
Up bar like I'm gonna have to do a stay over.
I don't think you can drive back from Lancaster to
New York in one shot like that.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
You can't.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
I did it yesterday. Not if you're gonna drink and
have a good time.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Yeah, And we're having an after party, and we're having
a welcome party on the Friday night. So if you
come for two nights, you can come to.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
The welcome This is on a Saturday, thank you. Yes,
unlike these people that have Wednesday wedding scary friends.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
This is the whole Weekendana, It's the whole experience. Yeah,
because we figured a lot of people because the hotel
I don't think you could check it until like four,
and the wedding starts at four to thirty, so I
figured a lot of people would come on Friday.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
You guys shouldet an much buggy with cans on it.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yes, I asked, She said that like pumpkins, and I mean,
it's gonna be a great time.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
No, I can't. I've started collecting pumpkins, like fake pumpkins
to have around. I don't know if it's in the weird.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
But yeah, wedding theme, is there a theme?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
No, like just fall like it's love Loves colors.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yeah, my bridesaids are wearing burnt orange and yeah, Dennis
has to pick his outfit. But I got my dress
which is so exciting and.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
The location is gorgeous. She showed me pictures. You guys
are gonna You're gonna have the best line.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
It's gonna be so I'm socited. I can't believe it's
a year, Like a year away. I feel like I've
been engaged for ten thousand years.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
That. Yeah, it's so quick.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
After the holidays, it's gonna be like next year and
then it's gonna be here.

Speaker 7 (03:44):
Yeah, did you have difficulty making the list and who
was going to get the invite and who wasn't and
who's going to be in round one versus who's in
round two?

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Yes, it's Our first list was two hundred and fifty people.
We knocked it down to like one eighty, so that's good.
I'm still hoping less than that comment, I'm gonna be
like crowded. It was hard. It's still like on the
fence about people getting plus ones.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well you'll see where I'm gonna sa a year from now,
who knows you might find your you know, I don't know,
baby mamas. By then, Scott was.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Pissed about not getting a plus one to a different weddings.
If I don't get him a plus one, is you
get an.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
A year from now?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Year from now? Yeah? I think if if if you
have a significant other in your life at that time,
like that you're really serious with, you probably should give
a plus one. But if it's somebody like you know,
random you met on the street like two nights ago, maybe.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
You don't want strange danger at your your.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Wedding and all your pictures. My friends got married and
his they got divorced fairly quickly after this. But his
wife fiance at the time, was very specific. She did
not give anybody plus ones unless you had been dating
for a long time and she also knew you. So
my wedding invitation came with mine and my boyfriend's name
at that time, and it was not transferable. She said, well,

(05:04):
I'll want these hoes in my pictures.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
I mean, it's kind of true, spending a lot of
money per person, Like I was thinking the same thing.

Speaker 7 (05:10):
Yeah, just making that observation as as you just said
that this looks like a very high quality wedding and
a Saturday and I gotta say, this is uh, you know,
it's gonna be a big guest.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
Are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Are you gonna do what you normally do?

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Bring your blank check and just see how it is
and by the end decide how much your feeling is.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
I have a myth. I never did that. I did
it to one wedding. It was years ago. You did
years ago, and but honestly, I can already tell you
this is a high quality.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Look. I mean.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
The fact that it's a year away, it's in a
beautiful location.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
And Danielle says, yeah, on a Saturday night, this is
prime time.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah, I gotta go big or go home.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Can I ask a question?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Why did you guys decide in Lancaster as your destinations?

Speaker 5 (06:03):
So we looked at eighteen venues like in New York,
New Jersey and in Pennsylvania. It was actually the last
one we saw, and it was perfect. It was affordable.
I mean, it's like significantly cheaper than anywhere in New
Jersey or New York, and it had everything we wanted
Like every other venue we were like, we like it,
but we're miss it's missing this, it's missing that. Yeah,
this had everything that we wanted in.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
This because there's no power. What they have electricity?

Speaker 5 (06:24):
They don't have electricity. We would not get some place
that has no air conditioning because we are people who sweat.
So we're having a string trio for our ceremony, violin
cello and guitar, and then DJ for the reception.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, he's ready.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
I'll be sobbing.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
They be a table of singles if there, if.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
You want there to be, maybe there can be.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
You might not be single in a year.

Speaker 8 (06:49):
Okay, I'm just thinking our friends are significantly younger younger, No,
they're not you sificantly How old are you in my forties?

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Okay, what is your age? I'm twenty nine.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
That's fine, thirty nine, but that is as low as
I can go by the way I think.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Okay, let me ask you guys this. If I were
to date a guy who was like, if we're going
with these same age, go, hold on, I'm trying figure
out what your actual agent. If I dated somebody who
was like fifteen or sixteen years younger than me, you
all would have a whole lot to say about it.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Would you be happy?

Speaker 5 (07:21):
That's not important. I don't care.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I would say good for you. I would say good
for you.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
If you're a fifty dating a thirty five year old,
I would have no problem with it.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
But if you're.

Speaker 7 (07:31):
Forty dating a twenty five year old, I question it.
Just a question that, yeah, but you'd question the maturity
of a guy. These are very big question twenty five.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Versus just want your money?

Speaker 5 (07:43):
Gandhi.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
No, So it's different with men and women.

Speaker 7 (07:46):
Yeah, I think a woman dating a guy who's twenty
one and she's forty, at what.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
She did, he's based. She's basically just dating a.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
Guy for the hell of it, just for the the
sex of it or something.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
And the guys are not it's not fully the front.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
You know, your brain isn't fully developed.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay, if I agree with you on that.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
But I cannot ye old versus thirty one year old guy.

Speaker 9 (08:09):
I cannot wait for a hot single night at Deanna's wedding.
I mean it's just gonna be a show of just
women lining up going all right, my.

Speaker 5 (08:16):
Turn, Oh my god, that'd be so funny if you
hooked up with somebody at my wedding.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
It's like you're willing to exist.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
I kind of hope it happens.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Oh god, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
I'm not gonna give you plus one even for getting
somebody now, because now you have to all right, I
do I made of honor single. I think I showed
your picture for he said she was cute.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Okay, you might next year, though, will tell her to
not that would be helpful.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
What about your You have your cake person.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
And all that su Yeah, they have. It comes with
the like caterer. So we got to go to a
tasting you have. We actually just picked our efficient that
was stressing me out. It's actually gonna be Josh Martinez
who's on ze later in the day.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Why you shove an invite that because he shows up
and he the officiant.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
That he's still gonna be.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
You want no, of course, but that's exactly it.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
You want him at the wedding, but you don't want
to put nice, so you're making the officiant. It's like
hiring a DJ, like you know, somebody who's on staff.
You bring somebody else on you know, I'm saying this way,
you get as many people in the room as possible.
You hire a photographer, maybe you get our friend Rachel,
you know, then you don't have to save an invite
on you.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Know, Scary.

Speaker 9 (09:24):
Scary is open at MC the wedding.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, so you're saying all the people she doesn't necessarily
want to invite, she should.

Speaker 7 (09:29):
Just put them, saying she could save seats at the tables.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
She could do that by putting people to work.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Well, you know, he still needs a seat at the table.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
I'm basically gone from giving you a gift to wanting
a talent.

Speaker 9 (09:43):
He used to work at a catering hall.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
He would be great working serving food.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Oh my god, please No, I feel like after that
big choice, like we're pretty in a good spot right now.
Like now I'm just doing all my like things that
are like the core items I'm making. Yeah, I have that.
I have all the big things done. Now, you're gonna
do your bacheloret I didn't do it yet, but I
planned it for July. I'm going to Key West.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Honeymoon.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
That's Oh, that's a big thing we didn't do yet.
So that's the next thing we need to like actually
pick up.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Are you gonna do like a fund for the honeymoon
and know a lot of people now instead of like
a wedding gift, you put money towards a fund or
Gandhi and I got someone like an experience for their honeymoon.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
They want all of our money will probably partially go
to that, like whatever we get gifts, but I mean
on our like registry, we have like a honeymoon fund.
Oh yeah, yeah, if you want to like contribute to that.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
Will there be a Harry Styles themed anything?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Wait?

Speaker 5 (10:32):
So I actually asked. I was like, can we have
a half an hour of one direction in Harry Styles
music at the reception? He was like, Dana, literally, no,
who's that?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I really like this Dennis character.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
He did say though, that we could like maybe make
an entrance like to the reception to a Harry song.
So that's like my one win. He's into that. That's
about it. Yeah, And then we have to pick all
the music. Still, we didn't pick our first dance. We
had to pick like father daughter, like all those.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
You know what Adore You by Harry Styles.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
Is the perfect song for which to enter or to dance.

Speaker 7 (11:06):
Maybe to dance or maybe either one. It's I mean,
it's just a beauty has beautiful lyrics to it.

Speaker 9 (11:10):
But Dennis has to wear a hairy mask when he
walks in with Deana though that's the only issue.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
Non.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I know Dennis is gonna want to walk into the
song they play for the Yankee Closer.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
Okay, I don't even know what's called him. Yeah, we'll
put it on the playlist we do have. We have
a lot of do not plays though too. Oh like
what like? I don't like Bruno mars so so like
no uptown funk, no that oh go zone for Bruno.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
You know, I don't marry you, no marry you.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
No.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
I had chicken dance. I said, if anyone asks, you know,
freaking chicken dance, you tell them, no chicken dance.

Speaker 9 (11:42):
You know.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Also, we don't like like Halsey, like twenty one Pilots,
any of that, like type of grudge music.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
No, you gotta have some like old school eighties nineties.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Oh, he's he's the biggest nineties like Okay, good grunge, Nirvana,
of that vibe. He likes that vibe I'm talking about,
like the New Age alt he's not into. We're not
into together.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
So yeah, I gonna be a banger, Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Banger and wait for your assignment. I'm so excited for
your assignment.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
This is gonna be great, no pressure anything. Everybody's just
looking at me on the dance floor.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Maybe not her necessarily, but somebody else.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
We're very happy.
