Hey, everyone, welcome back to the bash for Happy Hour.
I'm Joe and I'm Serena, and we are back for
part two with Branden and Christina.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hi guys, So before we jump off of all this
wedding chat, what does Blakely think of all of this?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Yeah, well, and I want to get I want to
hear about the night of the wedding, like sot inappropriate.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
But okay, that's not what I mean.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm like, did you I know you, I know you said, Christina.
I know you said you went to work, But did
you guys like go to dinner right after, get some
to eat, like have a drink, like a like a
celebratory drink or anything.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
No, no, okay.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I mean we're both I mean we're both.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
Not drinking right now.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I mean, damn, I thought our courthouse wedding was like
the most one of the most It's the most casual
wedding I've ever heard of, at least until today.

Speaker 6 (00:55):
Randon, Christia, you have us be we got we have
pancakes after at least.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
I mean, well, we would have done something.

Speaker 7 (01:02):
But the only issue was it was like, you know,
she had work after, and so it was like, you know,
we couldn't really go and do anything.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
We wanted that date, which.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
This is gonna this is gonna sound crazy, but like
why not take off of work the day your wedding.

Speaker 8 (01:17):
Because kind of just like we had been talking for
I guess it's been like probably two weeks tops, and
when we were when you realize like, hey, that's twelve
twelve twenty four, we were like, oh, maybe we can
just go to the car house and like a cool date.
What's a cool date coming up? Looks And he's like, oh,
twelve twelve twenty four. I'm like, oh, that is a
cool date. And it's like in the week, so it's
like not that complicated, like yeah, let's do that. And
then like as days were going on, it was like

(01:39):
the day before, like, so were we getting married tomorrow?
Like so we had it, like but we didn't plan it.
It was in our heads, like but nothing had been done.

Speaker 6 (01:47):
Oh yeah, okay.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
That's why that's a little different from ours because because
it was still like COVID was gone, but you still
had to wear like masks in the courthouse and you
had the pick a date.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
So we actually ye yeah yeah, because they could only
have like so many people you were only allowed to
bring like one person, like they were still following certain
COVID restrictions.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
So we did our marriage certificate.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Or license or whatever it is online and then our
date was two weeks later, so like we literally decided
to do it, got our is it the license or
the certificate whatever.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
We got it online and then we're like, hey, what's
the next soonest date and it was like October twenty seventh,
so that we knew leading up to it, but we
kind of had the same feeling like the day. The
morning we woke up, we're like, whoa, I guess we
like we're getting married today.

Speaker 8 (02:39):
Which I mean I guess if you you know, throw
a whole big event too. It's the same kind of
feeling waking up that day. I'm sure like oh is it?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Wait?

Speaker 8 (02:47):
What how is this?

Speaker 6 (02:47):
Today's the day?

Speaker 8 (02:49):
Is the day?

Speaker 7 (02:49):
And also like I mean with that, like when we
were planning ahead, we looked online, we did the research
ahead of time, and it was everything we saw. It said, oh,
you just come in and you don't have to schedule appointment.
You sit down, you bring X y Z, sit down
at the table, and they'll get you your certificate made
out right, and so as far as that, it was
just literally you just walk in.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
And so we walked in and twelve twelve, twenty four.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
We had that date set in our head and we're like,
we're gonna do it all one day, So we did it.

Speaker 8 (03:15):
We also kind of thought when we were looking up
that we could get married at the courthouse, like and
they would have someone there, like a judge or something,
but they that ours didn't provide that, so we had
to go somewhere else. And then day of like, like
I said, I was an event planner, so I know
a lot of venues and like have friends that own
some of them. I'm like, should I reach out to them?
But then someone would know, and I feel bad, like
not telling our families but having someone know. And so

(03:36):
we just, you know, went with the gazebo on the
side of the road. But it was yeah, so we
knew that it was gonna be happening that day, but
we didn't really like like, if it didn't happen that day,
I wouldn't have been surprised.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
I would have been surprised because in my head I
knew it was happened.

Speaker 8 (03:49):
Okay, well then I wanted to. I was like probably
the day before You're like, so are we're doing it?
I'm like, do you still want to marry?

Speaker 7 (03:54):
All right?

Speaker 8 (03:55):
Oh my god, Like I'm I'm blushing, like you really
want to?

Speaker 7 (03:58):
Mary?

Speaker 8 (03:58):
And then actually it was really cool so on away
back after we got the marriage to go, like or
maybe there, we were like, okay, so one of the
talks that we need to have because we've had, you know,
so many talks about like okay, what are really like,
you know, the things that we need to talk about.
One that sticks out to me, which I'm just going
there because why not? It was like, you know, we
both kind of have been wanting to pursue acting. It's like, okay,

(04:20):
are we allowed to like kiss if we get a
roll like kissing? Like all the things that we need
to talk about. What do we need to talk about?
What's your credit score?

Speaker 1 (04:27):
That's where you guys come.

Speaker 8 (04:28):
To Yeah, well it was it was weird things like
just blurting out and reminded me of this scene and
oh what was it in New Girls where Jessica and
Jake had been blurting out a few different things. I
don't know what it was.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Before they were talking about. He was like, oh, you're
they were talking about like it's an amazing scene.

Speaker 8 (04:48):
It wasn't well, we'll do the sound on our Instagram.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
Sure it was, Yeah I did, because we've watched the
whole show.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
I actually want to go back. We actually were talking
about going back and rewatching it.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
Yeah, my third time watching it. But I just I did.

Speaker 8 (05:00):
And it was right before I turned twenty nine, So
then I was like, twenty nine.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
Oh, I think it was right here in the beginning.

Speaker 8 (05:06):
Just in time. That made me feel better, just time.
But I mean, that is that question.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Oh you did answer the question. And back to my question,
what does Blakely think of everything?

Speaker 8 (05:18):
She's she loves him, I mean, and he loves her.
It's so awesome to watch and just that's kind of
what went to mind whenever I was watching the video
and what I was referring to when I said, like,
it's We've had so much happen this year and to
see him like step into dad mode. It has just
been incredible, including like the cheesy dad jokes are all

(05:38):
accustomer thing. Now you get it, like and I don't know,
like even just he got her into piano, he got
her into soccer, like she's doing these team sports. Now
she's on basketball and like I don't know, like she
hadn't done anything these things before.

Speaker 7 (05:54):
And gymnastics. Christina has definitely taken her gymnastics and stuff.
And it was just like, I mean, I think it's.

Speaker 8 (05:59):
A one woman show. Is kind of hard to do
all these things and really kind of put the foot
down of this is bedtime, this is when homework happens.
This is and to have like a partner, because I
didn't really experience that as a child or at any
point in my life, like having a partner to parent with,
Like I hadn't experienced at all, Like I'd watched movies

(06:19):
before and it's not real to me, and so to
like to see it happening, I'm like, wait, wow, like
that's incredible. Oh we can like both go to the
grocery store together, like we can do like it like
it's a parent like having a partner in like for
life and it's like wow, like that's that's so cool.
Why doesn't everyone do this?

Speaker 7 (06:37):
And it's been awesome, I mean it was it's been
It was cool to to get married and have Blakely
be there and like because I mean, me and Blakely
have had a lot of conversations and about different stuff, and.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
She's had moments where she's.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Also asked, She's like, you know, how do I know
that you're not just gonna leave me? Like those have
been conversations that she's had with me, and I'm like,
I'm like Blakely, like I'm not, like, that's not what
I'm doing.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
I'm here.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
And it was like and as a like, I.

Speaker 7 (07:00):
Can imagine how scary it would be. I mean, I
never had a step parent, but I'm sure the part
of it is being scared that like, you know that
person is coming into your life and you know they may.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Just literally yeah, and it's like you know they're not sure.

Speaker 7 (07:10):
You're not sure if they're going to be you know,
if you know Mom's boyfriend or you know what I mean,
it's going to be you know, actually staying in your life,
you know what I'm saying. And so for me being
able to have that like have that seal on it
where it's like, hey, like no, I'm in it now,
like and it's like and i mean I'm not saying
it's like changed our relationship because our relationship was like
really good before. But it's if anything, it's it's there's

(07:31):
a lot more trust involved because she knows that, Like
it's not just words, it's like there's actions at back
it too, because I mean she's a smart kid and
she's a big feeler too, and so it's like, I mean,
our relationship, I feel like after like me and me
and Christina getting maried has also been better where it's
like you know, and and it's just it's really cool
to you know, actually be a stepdad and not just
like feel like a step dad.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, it's so wild because you guys were here a
year ago and I think you were just about to
move brighton, like right when we.

Speaker 6 (08:00):
Talk to.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, but I remember you talking about like, oh my gosh,
like having a like a seven year old is crazy.
She's asking me all these questions and I don't know
what to say, and like, how has that changed? Like
do you feel just like less deer in headlight more
deer in headlight?

Speaker 6 (08:20):
A year later?

Speaker 7 (08:22):
I don't think deer in the headlights ever leaves as
a parent, because like there's new situations that pop up.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
You're like, what the heck is going on?

Speaker 8 (08:28):
You know what I mean, Like you're just saying, now
we get to look at each other and take that together,
like what and if anything.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
I think that that's kind of been more what's ironed
out is like Monte and Christina's like you know, teamwork
in regards that where it's like, I mean, we were
trying to figure out the teamwork before where it's like okay,
now I'm coming in this role.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
I've never done this role, like what is my.

Speaker 8 (08:46):
Less of a bridge between them?

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Now?

Speaker 7 (08:48):
Yeah, it's more like we're able to just be all
just like you know, a team. Yeah, it's our it's
all of us are team, I mean, and we all
have our roles in it. It's and it's super neat
because it's like you know, I mean just last night
we were going to bed and I was just like
I love you guys, love you family, And it was
like it was so cool because we are family and
it feels good because there's a unification in like that,
like that connection that it's like that's now there.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Well, I will say, even beyond what was there before.

Speaker 8 (09:11):
She says. She says things sometimes and I'm just like wow.
Like for Christmas, she got a phone which is crazy.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Okay, r there's lots of rules.

Speaker 7 (09:22):
I'm like, I have an app that like, but like
why like if any text messages where she says something
like anything on there, that'll it'll notify us.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
But she needed a phone because.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
A lot of just internet or anything like them really
restricted phone. But she hasn't. The point is is like
she like that's like the crazy like the best thing
she could have ever gotten in her eyes. So she
said to me that after, she was like, well, it's
really amazing that I have a phone now, and like
that's such a good gift. But I got something even better.
And she's like a family And I was like, okay,
I would.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Be falling my eye yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
And I'm like I'm like, yeah, you know what I
mean that. Yeah, you're just saying.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
That, Yeah, the folds better.

Speaker 6 (10:08):
So what is does she call you Braiden.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Sometimes?

Speaker 7 (10:15):
But a lot of time it's funny because it's like
her and then also her little cousin, Like they'll be
in the house and it's like when they're in the
house together, like hey.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Braiden, Hey Braiden.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
Heye Braiden, heyid And it's kind of a joke between
all the adults, because like they'll just say my name
over and over and over again until I get my
attention with stuff. It's like I get to sit down
for like five seconds before they say my name and
what wow?

Speaker 5 (10:35):
Is it?

Speaker 9 (10:36):
Like?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Okay, so do you guys have you talked about family
down the line? I'm only asking because when we got married,
we got married at the courthouse, so it was kind
of giving like shotgun wedding, and we got a lot
of questions on if we were pregnant, wish we were not.
Have you gotten those questions yet?

Speaker 8 (10:56):
That has been an on going Uh that's in my
life that has followed me around of like oh, she's pregnant,
she's pregnant, she's pregnant.

Speaker 7 (11:04):
Really started it started because we posted like a thing
when we were pouring out all the alcohol in the house,
and so it's like.

Speaker 8 (11:10):
That's kind of not where it started. It it started. I
mean there was from our engagement photos. It was like
from when I was on the show. And my whole
thing is like, I, you know, have a body that
like sometimes I am bloated, and like why like I'm
not just saying that, Like all the comments are like, well,
she's like definitely looks like looks like it, and then
other people are like, oh, well, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
It's actually no, it's wild.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Like I have posted photos of me from like weddings
and stuff, and like all get comments being like I
see a bump and that.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
So people think when they say that kind of stuff,
it's like I see all.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
It would be the first one to realize it and
then have like receipts of like see I knew or something.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
But even if I noticed the bump, I wouldn't say it.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
You were raised, well, I just it's like, you're right,
you do see a bump, Like I'm bloated.

Speaker 8 (12:03):
I just had like nine months pregnant. I won't say
it because I'm.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
Like, no, same, it's a cist.

Speaker 8 (12:09):
I don't know, like I don't want to offend anyone.

Speaker 6 (12:11):
I'm like my parents when I was younger.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
I remember they had friends over it and the woman
was like clearly about to pop, like she was like
wearing a taiout fit. She was fully pregnant. But my
parents hadn't grettened me so much, like you don't ever
ask that. After they I like tap, my mom was like, mom,
is she pregnant and like they were laughing, Like my
daughters asked me if you're pregnant, like yeah, obviously. I
was like they're like a good job, Like you don't

(12:35):
ever ask that.

Speaker 8 (12:36):
Yeah I have.

Speaker 7 (12:37):
I had a similar experience, except kind of different. I
was I forget where. I think I was at Disneyland
and we were in line and I was about like
five or six years old, and I remember sitting there and.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
I was like, I was like, mom, is she pregnant?

Speaker 7 (12:47):
And she wasn't pregnant, and I remember just the backlash
my mom gave me, like pregnant Matthews, I got his stuff.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
I'm like, well I don't know.

Speaker 8 (12:54):
I well, I mean, look there's the thing.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Yeah, so that now I know, don't ask. But that
was when I was a child. There are adults that
are asking.

Speaker 6 (13:01):
She and I saw us. I saw someone on Instagram recently.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
We're getting off topic, but they were like, I think
it's really nice that like people ask that, like even
if they're not like, it just means that they hope
you are. And I was like, okay, it's just not yeah,
like there's just yeah, you just.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
That person's worse than the comment.

Speaker 8 (13:24):
Oh and that's the thing that people will be defending too,
and like someone's like, oh, she's pregnant, and then someone's
like you don't know that, like never, and trying to
defend me, like you shouldn't say that to someone like
she just maybe she just enjoys, like having lots of
food at Christmas time. I'm like, thank you. I don't
know if you're helping right now. And so anyways, I've

(13:44):
made many different videos like hey, y'all not pregnant, because
they'll be articles and everything too.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
So yeah, there was an article.

Speaker 7 (13:49):
I was like, I didn't believe her because I was like,
I got I got off work and I was like,
why do you post this video about you not being pregnant?
And she's like because there was an article today. I'm like,
an article on you potentially being pregnant. Yeah, and she's
like no for real and she pulls it up and
shows it to me, and it was like someone had
sent it to her. There there was an article of like,
you know, someone saying are you pregnant? And they're asking
her is this true?

Speaker 5 (14:08):
And I was like, what the heck? Like people are
actually like saying this.

Speaker 8 (14:11):
Kind of stuff, And I guess I've noticed now with
my posture, like from the side, I think I like
stick my stomach or like hold it like we're my
hands in the back of my my lower back or something.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (14:22):
But regardless, like because even in an engagement people are like,
oh I saw a bump, That's why they got engaged.
I'm like, okay, AnyWho with your question, I accept it.
It's so polite the way you warned it, so nice.
Great job with the wording kids. He is excited about kids.
I was, I mean, like everything I want a baby.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
Well, her sister's having a baby soon and any any minute,
and we're all, I mean, it's exciting. And I was
sitting there, I was like, you know, we should have
another And because also I'm thinking timeline wise, like we
have Blakely blake Les eight now, and so if we
have if we wait too long, they're going to be
have such an.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Age gap that they're not going to like friends, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (14:58):
And then if they have too big of an age,
then we're gonna be parents in our like fifties. And
so it's like my thing is I fifties isn't bad,
but like sixties but and so I was sitting there like, Okay,
maybe next year, maybe we'll plan for next year. We
can talk about it, you know, put it out there
in the in the.

Speaker 8 (15:15):
Talks, which I will say, that's what's changed with likely too.
At first she's just like just don't ever like that
was her fear with him even being involved, like.

Speaker 9 (15:22):
Don't have a baby, and I don't want She didn't
want a sibling right because well, I mean with her
as far as like how she knows, it's like you
get married and then you can have a baby.

Speaker 8 (15:32):
That is like the extent that she knows. So she's like, oh,
if you're gonna get married, you're gonna have a baby.
And so I'm like that if that happens, that's forever
a way, like we get to decide, like, oh you do.
I'm like, we'll talk about that way later too. But
now she's like, do we get a sibling?

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Like I want a sister, like I want on this
se Do you think that like change in her was
going from not wanting you guys to have a baby
to wanting you to have a baby.

Speaker 7 (15:53):
I would say the family dynamic. I would say, like
I think that because we have a family dynamic. Now
that's like a lot more. I mean, we sit down,
we have game nights, we do a lot of things together.
It's not just like you know, there's not like it's.

Speaker 8 (16:06):
We've got established a routine now and like it's just stable, right,
it feels little.

Speaker 7 (16:12):
I think that, Like I think that in a kid's head,
you know, if you have a sibling, you're worried like, oh,
she's going to take attention away from me, and I'm
going to have But when you see a family dynamic
where you have additional people being added and yet no
time is really being taken away. In fact, like more
quality time is being spent together, I think that that
kind of makes, you know, makes her more excited or

(16:33):
makes her more comfortable with the.

Speaker 8 (16:35):
Idea that she's really she loves kids and babies too.
Even tonight it's my sister's birthday and we're having a
game night, and she's Last night we were over at
my mom's were the game night will be, and she's
setting up. She bought all these like toys and there's
a tint setup. She's like, I'm gonna read them this
book and I'm gonna have this game and this game
and then you know, there's like five kids, all under
the age of five, and so she's just like, I'm
so excited.

Speaker 6 (16:55):
Oh that's amazing. Oh that's a.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Pregnant right now, not pregnant, but looking looking into the
near future. Are you guys planning out celebrating with friends
or what happened?

Speaker 8 (17:11):
Maybe like a year. I was saying, not this year,
not like near future. So no more articles this year,
please about pregnancy.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yeah, leave Christina alone please, Okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
So, so so you're married now, do you plan on
having a party with friends celebrating anytime soon and honeymoon talks?

Speaker 7 (17:29):
Yes, So we've been talking about wanting to do a
big engagement party in December, probably on the one year
one year anniversary, like a wedding party.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
What did I say, engagement?

Speaker 9 (17:41):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Keep saying engagement.

Speaker 8 (17:43):
We're married.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
I know we're married. I forgot. I didn't forget.

Speaker 6 (17:46):
It's okay, I used to all the time anyways.

Speaker 7 (17:50):
So yeah, we're thinking about in December, probably we're gonna
throw a big old party and buy a bunch of
friends and family into town and or maybe go somewhere
else and have a location. We've also thought about doing
like trips together, like in bringing everyone on a trip
together and doing something like that. As far as honeymoons,
we have been talking about a little bit about places
we'd want to go together. Costa Rica is on that
list for me of somewhere i'd want to go.

Speaker 6 (18:12):
Highly recommend I just I.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
Love surfing, but I think I'd be worried because if I.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
Wasn't Costa Rica, she might not see a lot.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
Of it because I'd be surfing a lot. So maybe
not Costa Rica.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
Maybe somewhere there's no surf, so that way, I'm not
tempted to go into surf.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
We surfed for the first time.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
Yeah, we took surfing.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
We did.

Speaker 8 (18:30):
Yeah, I've never attended pop.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
Maybe we'll go surfing, you know what.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Like I thought I was gonna hate it, and I
thought I was going to be terrible.

Speaker 9 (18:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
He didn't want to do it originally, and then he
was like, I'll do one and if I don't like it,
like I'm just gonna stop. And I was like, yeah,
that's totally fine, like no pressure, just like test it out,
and he loved it. We ended up doing a second
lesson and they say Tim Rendo is which is where
we stayed in Costa Rica, a great area for surfing
and also has great beaches for beginners, like smaller ways

(19:01):
to learn how to surf.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
We felt like super comfortable. It was amazing.

Speaker 8 (19:06):
Well maybe we just decided it.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Maybe that was try. There was a lot of like
kids and stuff, a lot of kids kids.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Oh yeah, she got the invite for the wedding, which
she's cut for the honeymoon.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Christina, where would you where? Where? Where is your ideal honeymoon?

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Man?

Speaker 8 (19:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
I just.

Speaker 8 (19:24):
That's a good question. I've traveled a lot, but always
for like a reason, like while I'm there, like it's
not just like leisure and so to wrap my hat
around like whenever you guys just said it, I was
kind of in my head, like what would I even say.
I don't know. I enjoy the mountains and the snow,
but I think for honeymoon, yeah, need to be more
beach vibes and the beach called him.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
So I do miss the beach.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
And I'm not a great surfer either, Like guys, I'm
I'm not great, but it's so.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
I mean, how long have you how long have you
been surfing?

Speaker 5 (19:53):
For probably about three years now, I would.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Say, Okay, what's the highest did you know, like the
highest wave you ever a.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
Road anywhere between twelve to sixteen. So after the boat
incident me and.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
The after.

Speaker 7 (20:10):
Yeah, you know after and again it was stupid and
we shouldn't have done it. But after the whole boat
sinking incident last year or two years ago, now we
had an I mean we went bull riding. We've like
went surfing on one of the biggest days, like people's
boards were breaking and like, by the grace of God,
I'm not dead from those ways because those waves were scary.
Like I was on the ways and I was like,
I really should not be doing this, and I kept

(20:31):
doing it.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
So Yeah, speaking of Aarin, have you told him about
the marriage? Have you told anyone from Bachelor Nation? Yeahone
know about the marriage.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
I've talked to. I haven't gotten to talk to Aaron.

Speaker 7 (20:51):
I think he's busy with the fires right now, so
everything that's going. So he is a firefighter, so I'm
sure he's been pretty preoccupied. He got engaged me as well.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Yeah, beg you for both of you, I.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
Know, right, And so I told I told James from
Bachelor Nation.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
He was the lawyer on my season.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
He uh, he's a good buddy of mine. He's an
amazing dude, and I love him a lot. So I
told him, and then that's pretty much.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
That's pretty much. And then I told I didn't.

Speaker 8 (21:17):
Tell you, but I did tell Cherry and Katie did
you but you said, Dalton probably knows.

Speaker 6 (21:26):
I probably knows.

Speaker 8 (21:29):
Every probably knows.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
I don't know. That's cool.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
Well, we were honored to be part of the.

Speaker 8 (21:36):
Yeah, that's the most important thing.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
I love.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
I love the fact that, like you guys did something similar,
like I just I didn't know that.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
That's so cool.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, we really kept it low key, Like the only
I don't think I have any photos from that day.

Speaker 8 (21:50):
I was gonna ask, I want to see this legging
out then Cardigan, oh gosh.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
The only video of it we have. We didn't even
think about I guess. Yeah, Like we didn't even think
about photos or videos. But our witness was Natasha Parker,
and she picked us up on an over We went
to the courthouse and she like as they did like
a little ceremony at the courthouse, like you go in
and you stand and they do the speech and everything,
and she last minute was like, oh my god, I

(22:15):
should take a video of this, so our footage is yeah,
literally just like an iPhone shock.

Speaker 8 (22:20):
An eight year old took it.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, well like she's she's good and she's like on
point with the with the one angle. But yeah, thank
gosh she thought about it, because it totally slipped our minds,
but it was it was so special and we can
relate obviously, you guys also in the sense of like
we got engaged on the show and it was very public,
and there's something so incredible about that experience. But then

(22:44):
to have our marriage be the complete opposite, like just
completely stripped down and totally private, very intimate and just
bare bones was also incredible.

Speaker 8 (22:54):
The thousand person and I mean, here's the thing, we
did feel like a little bit guilty, like you asked
about the family and things like that. But even just now,
like on the comments and we'll be posting things, it's
like when's the wedding, when's the wedding, or like even
more in depth, people will be like please also share,
like thank you for sharing your daily adventures, but can
you also please share your wedding, Like are you gonna
broadcast it live? And I'm just like, man, it does

(23:16):
kind of hurt because we love we love the people
that like have been there for us, Like it really
does mean a lot to us. We go live a
quite a bit and we'll just chat with people and
join them on our lives and really want to hear
about like people's lives, Like there's so many everyone has that.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
That's one thing that's.

Speaker 7 (23:33):
Been so cool about the whole the whole thing is
it's connected you to so many different people in the
world where it's like you can get to meet someone
and just talk and chat with like what they're going
through in their lives, and it's so much fun and
so like I mean, I guess there is that level
of like okay, like these people will have been, you know,
supporting us, and you know there's that level of guilt
like okay, like you know, I know you guys wanted
to stay up to date, and I guess this is
what it is where they'll get to see a bit
of it.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
But again I think that our family wasn't there either.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah, all right, we are gonna be so excited for
you guys, Like no matter what form that comes in,
how like if it's a month later, two months later whatever,
Like they're just going.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
To be happy that you guys are happy and get
to see.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
I feel like like marriages and weddings are in a
way like a form of self expression too, and an
expression of like the love and the relationship and just
to see how you guys did that and how unique
it was to you.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
I mean, I think it's.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Harder for the families probably than the people that follow
along with you.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Yeah, we had we had that as well, and in
different ways too. You guys know it too, you know,
I think we we ended up having and this was
always the wing. We ended up having a full wedding,
and I think that that moment kind of it was
like a full circle moment, you know, like we start
we literally one year later ended up doing like the

(24:52):
walk down the island and everything. So I do think
your celebration when you have your one year anniversary, like
the people in your life that love you just want
to like shower you with love and celebrate you, guys.
And when that moment comes, I think it'll feel really
like beautiful and full circle for like everyone in your life.

Speaker 7 (25:08):
That's right, I Mean, that's what I've been looking forward
to big time with that is it's like that that
just finishing kind of touch on it, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 4 (25:14):
And so but I'm definitely.

Speaker 7 (25:15):
Glad that we did it the way we did it
and that we are where we are right now, and
so it's just it's exciting.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
