Speaker 1 (00:03):
What up, y'all.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome to this week's episode of Cheeky's and Chill. Thank
you all for tuning in, and believe me, you're going
to want to listen to this episode because let me
introduce myself as Jinnay Sanchez. Woo.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm a married woman now, you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I am married, and I want to talk to you
guys about everything, well not everything, but most of everything
that happened in my wedding. So let's get started, okay, guys. So, yes,
I am now Jinney Sanchez. And yes, I'm going to
change my last name. That is one of the biggest
questions that I have been getting the past few days.
(00:43):
Are you going to change your last name? Are you
going to hyphen it? No, I'm going to change it,
you guys. I'm just waiting for the marriage certificate and
I'm going to go with it because he deserves it
and that's it and I'm happy to do that and
I can't wait. I'm actually thinking if I should had
a middle name since I don't have a middle name.
But that's a conversation I have to have with my husband.
(01:05):
Oh my god, husband, it's so crazy. Still still, it's
so weird.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Like coming out.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I don't know, it's beautiful, but it feels like just
foreign obviously. But anyways, I'm very proud. So I'll keep
you guys updated on when I change my name and
if I decide to do a middle name or not.
And I'm not going to say the middle name yet
until I figure that out, but I have the idea already.
I already know what I want. So yes, I am
changing my last name and now talking about that now
(01:31):
that I am a married woman. Let me tell you
guys a little bit about the wedding. We got married
in Vegas. I'm sure you guys have seen some videos
a little bit of footage on social media, but it
was in Vegas, and I wanted it very small and
intimate and very close, just family. It was just gonna
(01:53):
be family, very immediate family. And then it just started
trickling into like really close friends and then I just
have to like stop it at a point because it
was just getting out of control and what a media
and I wanted the most was like not to spend
a lot of money. We wanted it to be very
intimate so we didn't feel overwhelmed on our day because
usually when you have events where you have parties, like
you're hosting and you have to go say hi, you
(02:15):
never get to enjoy the damn party. And that's one
thing that was very important to Emilio. He's like, I
want to enjoy my wedding day. I want you to
enjoy it. I want to enjoy you. I want us
to be present. And it was exactly that. It was
so perfect, you guys, so beautiful. It was hot as
hell in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It was like one.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Hundred and eight I believe, but the days prior to
that it was like one hundred and eighteen, one hundred
and twenty. So I was really scared. We did decide
to have because it was like, you know, July and
it was going to be very hot. I wanted a
evening ceremony, so we did get married at seven o'clock.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Of course, I was late. Okay, I didn't want to
be late, but.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I was late, and then I was so stressed out
because I was gonna be late. But then I was like,
Emillion knows who he's marrying, Like he knows. I'm not
like this inconsiderate person that's like, okay, I'm late and
I want to be late.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
And if everyone. That's not who I am. You guys.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
If I'm late, it's always because something happened, Like it's
just honestly, I'm not even like lying. So yes, I
was what ten minutes late to my wedding, and I
felt really bad because I kept thinking about the guests.
I was like, they're sitting outside. It was like pullside
you guys. It was like about eighty people and it
was only able to be fifty and it became eighty.
(03:31):
So I was worried about the guest. I was worried
about a milia on his suit and I was like,
oh my god, it's gonna be hot. So anyways, just
moments before, I think like I was calm the entire
day a Milio and I.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It was my idea.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I told him, look, let's not sleep in the same
room the night of the wedding so that we can
miss each other. So I got a room at a
separate hotel. And he wasn't too happy about the idea,
but he went with it. And I think it was
really nice that we did that because we spent a
few days or should I say, couple days together and
we went to the spa the day before the wedding,
(04:02):
and we like hung out and we drank a tiny bit,
not a lot, because we're like, we want to be
fresh and feel fresh. So the day of the wedding,
I woke up in my room, he woke up in his,
and the whole thing was, We're just going to text
each other good morning, and I'll see you at the altar.
And that's basically what we did. He texted me first
and he was like, good morning. I can't wait to
marry you. I love you so much, I can't wait
(04:24):
to see you so cute. And then I responded, I
said a good morning, my love. I'm excited, can't wait
for you to be my husband, and I'll see you
at the altar. And then I sent him two songs,
and the two songs were I'll meet you at the altar. Bye.
I forgot the name of the damn group. It just completely.
I drew blink, meet me at the altar with your
watdress that song right, And then I sent him the
(04:46):
Shania Twain song There's Still the One, the only one
to Dream.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That song. I'm sure you guys have heard it.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So I sent him those two songs, and then after that,
Silence and Mind you, and Media is a type of
man that asks me at least every hour, babe, are
you good.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
What are you doing? Are you hungry? Did you eat?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You want me to send you a coffee. He's so attentive,
and I am with him too, like, hey, babe, I
love you. I miss you even after like three and
a half years. You guys like, we're like that, and
I hope it stays that way. God please bless our marriage.
I could just keep praying that because I know it's
not going to be easy, but I just love what
we have built together. So I just wanted to last.
So anyways, going back to my story, so we didn't
(05:28):
talk at all. I went to the spall, I got
a facial, he worked out, He went to you know,
to breakfast with a couple of friends, and I was calm.
I started writing my vowels. He bought us these books,
you guys, because I was like, okay, I'm just going
to write my vowels like I do everything else on
my notes in my phone. But a media is like,
(05:49):
absolutely not. You are not going to walk up to
the altar with your phone in your hand. So I
was like okay, So he bought us these cute little
vowel books because he's like, let's write them in here
and keep them forever. And I said, okay, his was black,
mind was white. So I started writing my vowels. I prayed,
I meditated, and it was just still not coming out.
So I was like, let me go to the spall
(06:09):
get in the jacuzzi, like relax. So when I came back,
I had a really nice lunch, you know, because I
was like, I'm not going to eat. I want to
look really cute in my dress. And all my friends
were like, you better eat. You need to eat. So
on the day of my wedding, I ate a little
salmon with some spinach. I did get a chocolate cake.
I had a little bit. So I had a very
very nice breakfast, which wasn't really breakfast.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It was like at one o'clock.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So anyways, that was my only meal. And then I
started writing my vowels and I wrote them in my
damn phone, right, and then everything started going really quickly
because I wanted to change my nails, and the Knill
lady took a little long. She was wonderful though, so
so sweet, but it took a little long to take
off my Jelgs and like the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Gave me a manicure.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So it took like, honestly, like three hours, so that
took a lot of my time. So that's when I
started getting a little antsy. And then hair and makeup,
you guys. Hair was there. He started because he was
waiting on me to finish my nails. He started to
Na's hair. My sister and makeup, you guys. Her flight
was delayed two hours. That's kind of when I was like, Okay,
I'm just gonna breathe. I'm just gonna breathe. I was like, okay,
(07:09):
worst case, I'll do my own makeup or Jenica will
help me do my makeup. So anyways, makeup was supposed
to start at three thirty. My makeup artists did not
get there toe five because all of the flights were
being canceled because it was so damn hot in Vegas.
So the more heat, the more turbulence this whole thing, right,
So anyway, she made it, and my sister, Jenica, well,
(07:29):
we got a little worried. So Jenica started kind of
doing my eyes and trying to help me because I
was kind of getting a little antsy. And then I
was like, oh my god, everything's delaying. I have to
be out there at six thirty and I still have
to write my vowels from my phone to my book.
So I started freaking out. So anyways, I sat there,
she got there, we got hair and makeup ready. Everything
was good, and I was about to walk out and
I almost forgot well, mind you, I forgot the ring.
(07:52):
That's another thing, the ring I bought Emilio. I forgot it.
We left to Vegas and Amelia was like, hey, you
know we got the ring. Oh my god, your ring.
I freaking left it. So I had Janica, my sister.
Thank god, she was leaving a little later than we did,
so she picked it up for me. So that's one thing.
So anyways, then going back to my story, hair and
(08:13):
makeup was done. I started putting on the dress and
I'm like, oh my god, my vowels. I had completely
forgot you guys, and I was like, I cannot walk
with my phone. He'll be pissed. So the last hour,
around six o'clock, that's when I started kind of getting like, really, Auntie,
I was like, I have to get dressed. We still
have to take pictures here. The photographer was there, my
nieces were there. It was really really beautiful, and you
(08:33):
guys are going to see all the details in my docufollow.
But anyways, it was beautiful. But I started getting antsy,
and that's when I started feeling very nervous, like not
scared to get married. It was just like, oh my god,
I need my person. The only person that calms me
down is a medio. And I was freaking out and
I wanted to make sure that I did what he
wanted for us, to transfer my vowels from my phone
(08:56):
to the book that he bought us. So that's what
made me late because it was so important. And you guys,
this is what I mean. Phones are digging over our
lives because I don't remember anyone's phone number but his.
That's the only number that I know. And he made
me memorize it because he's like, Janey, if your phone
dies one day, who the hell are you gonna call?
Because I know no one's number, only his. And that's
(09:19):
only because he told me I had to memorize it.
But you guys, I am not used to writing in
my notes. My vowel seems so short and like cute,
and I was like damn do I need to add more?
Thank god I didn't, because when I went to transfer them,
it took forever. My hand was hurting and I was like,
oh my god, this is so long. I was like,
oh my god, I'm not used to like using my
(09:40):
hands to write. That's insane, you guys. I told myself
I need to start journaling more and writing because I
do everything on my notes. I love reading actual books,
physical books, but like when it comes to journaling, I
do everything on my phone and I'm just like, no,
this cannot happen. And that's why it took so damn long.
And that's why I was ten minutes late, and that's
why I was freaking out. But anyways, I get out there,
(10:02):
I'm already bawling. I see my brother Mikey, and I'm like, brother,
oh my god, I'm marrying my best friend. I can't
wait to see him. I'm freaking out. He's the only
one that calms me down. Like that's when I started
just freaking out. I was just more, I just want
to see him. I just want to fall into his arms.
As I was walking from my room to the altar,
I was like, dude, I just want to lay in
(10:23):
bed with him, Oh my god, and like we're gonna
have dinner and all this stuff, and I was like,
I just want to lay with him.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I just want to lay with him.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I'm feeling so overwhelmed. And then he's the only one
that calms me down. And that's how I know. I'm like,
this is my fucking person. This is the person I
meant to be with. And as soon as I saw
my brother and I was like, brother, you look so handsome.
And I was telling him how he's gonna walk me
down the aisle because we didn't rehearse any of this.
This was all no. We didn't have any a dinner rehearsal.
I didn't have any you know that mas. How do
you call the amas the bridesmaids? I didn't have a
(10:48):
maid of honor. My sisters are basically my maid of
honors because they were there with me. But it wasn't
like something we talked about or my brother's Even the
day of I said, hey, guys, you guys are walking
me down the aisle.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Just FYI.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I was like, Mikey, you're going to start and then
you're gonna take me to Johnny. Then Johnny, you're gonna
take me to a media and that's how it happened.
As soon as I saw my brother Mike, we were
talking and I was just telling him I love him, dude,
like I love him, and I just started crying. I
was already crying before I even started walking, and I
still couldn't see him. And then he took me to
Johnny and then I was just like, oh my god.
I was like, oh my god. The first thing I
(11:19):
told him media when I saw him was I missed
you so much. And I was crying and he was
just like, I know me too. It was so beautiful,
you guys, and the vowels were amazing. I'm so proud
of both of us, and that was like, I think
the biggest compliment they gave us. Our guests were like,
oh my god, the vowels. So many people were crying.
I think you could just feel the love and it
(11:41):
was so peaceful. After that, after I was just he
was holding my hand and I was looking into his eyes.
I was just like, okay, yeah, I'm good now, okay cool.
I feel excited about the rest of the day because
walking there I wasn't. I was just like, oh my gosh,
it's gonna be such a long day. I was just
being like, you know, just a baby. But then everything
just went so fun after that. And I don't want
(12:04):
to give too many details because I want you guys
to see everything on the docu follow because my docu
cameras were there. But again, it was a very small
crowd and it was a very special, special ceremony. It
was so beautiful, exactly like what I wanted and I
dreamt of even better, I think than what I had imagined,
(12:25):
especially because we both love water, so there was like
a piece of like water with like a jacuzzi small
pool situation, and we both love that. And it was
just beautiful. It was perfect. It wasn't overly decorated. I
wanted the flowers to be wide. I wanted to be
very simple. I wanted my dress to be timeless, and
I think we nailed it. Like my designer, I told
(12:47):
her exactly the kind of fabric I wanted. I was like,
I want it to look like cake. I don't know
how else to explain it, but like not a fond
of cake, like a butter cream cake, like very silky
and just delicious. And it was amazing, and I was
very worried, you guys, because after the miscarriage, I hadn't
gotten my period and I was feeling very bloated. My
hormones still aren't leveled, so I've been feeling very bloated,
(13:10):
and like my last two shows, like I could see
it in my wardrobe and I'm like, oh my gosh,
like it's my hormones. My body's still trying to get
back to normal, and I'm worrying white. So I was
very nervous, but I was like, you know what, even
when it came down to it my dress, because I
was worried about it not fitting, it fit perfectly and
I didn't care. I was just like, whatever, I'm marrying
my homeboy, this is my homie, this is my man,
(13:31):
this is my best friend, Like whatever. He loved me
when I was seventy six pounds heavier, So we're fine.
And even that, I didn't care.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I was just happy. It was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
After that, we went to take pictures. Then we had
a dinner and the dinner was fantastic, amazing. This is
what I meant. But I wanted it to be small
and intimate because I was able to go to everyone's
table and not feel overwhelmed and just see my friends
and family and tell them that I love them and
that I appreciate them being there. And I was having
(14:03):
a drink and we're having a good time, and I changed.
I had three changes, but I only ended up doing two.
And then after the dinner, we went to a club
and that was so fun. Had a lot of fun,
a lot of fun. And then guys, check this out.
After the club, around two o'clock, I was already feeling buzzed.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
So my husband was like, we gotta go.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I was like, okay, cool, let's go. We get in
the elevator. I was one of the first ones to
get on, so I didn't realize how many people were
getting on the elevator. There were twenty people in the elevator.
Don't ever do that, you guys. We got stuck in
the elevator.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yes, we did. For two and a half hours.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
We were stuck in the elevator. I had a relax
because Emilio he does suffer from anxiety. So I said, okay,
I'm going to relax. I can't freak out because at
first I was like, oh my god, I can't breathe.
I was like okay, and I thought it twice and
I'm like, Okay, something's happening. I was like, but I'm
not going to freak out in a stay calm. Because
Emilio's mom was also in the elevat with us, you guys,
I was like, oh my god, he's if if I'm
(15:03):
not calm, he's going to freak out. Because there were
people freaking out again. It was all people I knew,
and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Mind you, it's
super freaking hot in Vegas. The music is blasting, okay,
blasting for like an hour, and so we were like,
please turn off the music because it's driving us nuts
because we were trying to talk. People were freaking out.
It was just too much. We were like so overstimulated,
(15:25):
it was. It was insane. Anyways, and media cracked open
the door him in one of our security guards, and
then we were I think that's when more people started
calming down because we started getting a little bit of air.
But yeah, that's what happened, guys. So it's gonna be
definitely a day and a night to remember in a
wedding to remember, because we could have died on our
wedding day. Thank god, we didn't, and thank God, everyone's safe.
(15:46):
They had to rescue us out of the damn elevator
you guys from you know, the elevator shaft, and they
put like a helmet on us and they put this
whole thing and like we had to get out one
by one. So by the time we got out of there,
it was four thirty in the morning. So that is
our story. We're going to be able to tell people now.
It's a little funny, but when we were in there,
(16:08):
there was a moment where I was like, God, okay,
let's talk a little bit Lord.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Because I was meditating. I was like, okay, I was chill.
I was like, I.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Honestly was chill because I always know God is going
to come through. But I did say, look, Lord, like
I still have a lot of things I want to
do and I just got married and this isn't I
don't want to go out like that. And I was like, God,
you got this. So that's when everything switched and I
was like, Okay, we're gonna be fine. But it did
feel eternal, and it's a good thing I guess to
(16:37):
tell our children or our child because I think we're
only going to have one or whatever God wants. And
the next day, I think we both woke up like,
oh my gosh, did that just happen? And we were
like in our heads, but I had to shake it
off because I was like, no, this is our wedding.
Our wedding was so beautiful. I don't want us to
just remember the damn elevator event. So I was like, no,
we have to get up and celebrate life because at
(16:58):
the end of the day, God allowed us to live today,
and let's go to the pool and have fun. And
we did that and we continued with our celebration and
it was wonderful and it's just something to add to
our story. Like Kimberly Annell, my assistant who you guys
met here on the podcast already the next day, she
was just laughing because she wasn't on the elevator. She
(17:19):
went to sleep. She's like, hey, guys, I'm not going
to Dre's if that's okay. So she wasn't there with us,
but she did say She's like, I think it's just
really funny, like within five hours, you guys had the
highest of highs and the lowest of lows all in
one day. And I'm like yeah, she was just it
was after I was like, okay, I can laugh a
little bit. So anyways, that is what happened. After the
(17:41):
festivities of the wedding. Now we can talk a little
bit about certain details. There are people that, yes, did
get their invitation only a few days before, and others
did know, like our immediate family, for about a few
months before. Not on purpose, you guys. I was just
so busy and so overwhelmed with life and work. I
(18:03):
tend to do that. I kind of procrastinate in that aspect,
where again I deal with things or things that I
have to do the week of I'm like, okay, this week,
I got to do this, this and this and that.
So some people did get the invitation a little late,
and yes, some others didn't get the invitation at all.
And it's not because I didn't want them there. It's
because it was just a different type of ceremony and
(18:25):
wedding and it was again meant for family only, and
then it just started kind of getting a little bit bigger.
And we are planning on having a more religious wedding
in the future the near future, and those people will
be invited. Other people that are still very important to
us that we love, but because we had this idea
of having a celebration later, we just kind of like
(18:46):
you know, said we'll invite them then. And people were
asking who made my dress? And her name is Cindy
of Our. I don't even think I'm pronouncing her name
her last name correctly, but she was awesome. She made
all three dresses, She made me three vels, She made
me two robes that I didn't even ask for. She
gifted me the robes which was like for me to
(19:08):
get ready, and then one for like, you know, for
consummating the wedding, which was really cute. And she also
made my mother in law's dress and my grandmother, well
a Medio's grandmother who's now like my grandmother who I've
adopted her like outfit so cute. And we did have cake,
you guys. We had a strawberry cake, which is so
weird because usually I'm more of like, we both love
(19:30):
funfetti type of cake or chocolate cake or Emelio loves vanilla,
but we went with a strawberry cake. We had a
tasting and we went with a strawberry cake, which was
so weird because a Medio doesn't even really like strawberries,
but he loved the cake. The cake was so freaking
delicious and very simple. I wanted everything very simple, just
very classy and elegant. And again, timeless is like the
(19:53):
only word that I kept like thinking of. I'm like,
I want everything to be timeless. And the cake was
so pretty, and we the whole thing where he's feeding
me cake and I fed him cake. It was just
really cute. And I think my favorite moment of the
entire wedding, i'd have to say, was when I saw him,
when I just was like, oh, there's my safe haven.
(20:16):
I'm like freaking out and the only one that could
just tell me everything's gonna be okay it's him, and
I was just like oh. It was just that moment
of relief of like, oh my god, I can breathe again.
And I miss him because I missed him. I really did.
Like it might sound silly, we didn't sleep together one night,
and we didn't really like talk for hours.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
It was just a lot. That's how I knew this
is it.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
This is the person for me, Like I really enjoy
my time with him, he doesn't bore me, He's my
favorite person to be around. Everything I said in my vowels,
which you guys will hear one day, is absolutely what
I felt. I wanted it to be one hundred percent honest,
and it was some like he's my favorite travel buddy,
he's my favorite human, like I don't get bored. And
(20:59):
I think that's why it's my favorite moment. Was because
when I saw him, I wasn't crying because I was
getting cold feet. I wasn't crying because I was scared
or nervous or I'm like, oh my god, I'm gonna
be married. I'm committed, like I'm like, can't do anything
in my life, like no, Like we had these conversations
prior to our wedding, like what I wanted, what he
expected as well in a marriage, and I didn't feel
(21:22):
pressured in any way. It was just I missed this person.
I love this person, like I cannot wait to marry them.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
So it was just so amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
And a lot of people were asking me, you know,
because I should be on my honeymoon right now, and
they're like, why aren't showing your honeymoon? Like, you know,
people think that I'm off social media because I'm not
on social media right now. People think that it's because
we're on our honeymoon, and that's not true.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I have a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I actually had a lot of work the monday after
my wedding, but I had to cancel it because I
don't know if you guys can hear it, but I'm
a little sick.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I got sick.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
My throat has been acting funny, and I think it
was just I was dealing with the cough the day
before the wedding and then I think it just got
worse because of the heat and then going into the
hotels and the whole thing. So it's just like I think,
once I got back home, I was in like my
comfort and I let like my guards down, and my
body was just like, Okay, you need a chill. You've
been drinking and partying and you know what I mean,
and you had a lot of fun. And my immune
(22:20):
system just, you know, took a toll. But I'm better.
So we're not on our honeymoon. We want to take
a honeymoon at the end of the year, and I
think we have decided to do Asia. We were between
Asia or Europe, and I think we're going to do
somewhere in Asia. We actually have to finalize that soon,
but we do. We're definitely going to do a honeymoon
(22:41):
and practice making children. You know, we're having a lot
of fun in that aspect. And now, like I told
my pastor, and I was telling I don't even remember
who I was, Like, you guys were not fornicating anymore.
Like we're just we're having great sex and it's awesome.
So now we're having married sex. Does it feel the same?
I love?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Does it feel better?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah? Has he put two thumbs up? You guys? All right,
we're good.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
He's in the living room because today I'm doing the
podcast you guys from my home and what else?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
What else can I tell you guys?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yes, my mother.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I don't know if you guys noticed in the pictures
that I posted on Instagram, but on my bouquete of
flowers Miramo, I had a picture of my mother and
I walked down the aisle with a very special song.
And we've talked about this song on the podcast, I
think in the first season. It's a song by Shade
and it's called by Your Side and it's one of
(23:35):
my favorite songs. And let me tell you a little
bit about this song because when I was going through
it very heavily in twenty In twenty thirteen, I was
driving Johnny to school and I was feeling very sad,
but I wanted to be very strong, and I was
just very overwhelmed, and I was just like, very sad
and depressed and very angry during that time, as you
guys know, and I've expressed here. And when I dropped
(23:57):
Johnny off at school, as soon as I dropped him off,
I don't know how, by the glory of God, the
grace of God, I did not get in an accident
because I was driving my mom's Mercedes that day. Because
Johnny loved to go in that particular car because that's
the car that my mom would take him to school in,
you know, and he would love listening to the Wave
because that was my mom's favorite ninety four seven the
(24:20):
way that one that was my mom's favorite station. So
that was like a little thing that we had. Let's
go in the Mercedes, I'll drop you off at school,
and we'll listen to the Wave. So as soon as
I dropped off Johnny, I was crying. I was a
freaking mess. I was just having one of those moments
of like I don't know if I can continue on,
like I'm just devastated in my life. And I was
(24:41):
praying and I was like, Mom, talk to me, like
I need to hear from you, like guide me, give
me a sign. And my mom was a huge Shadai fan,
and I knew of Shade because of my mom, and
all of a sudden, that song came on and I
feel like the times that I've talked to my mom
or when I feel my mom is through music. So
I felt and I took that as a sign because
(25:02):
if you guys listen to that song and you break
it down, it was like I'm here, I'm by your side.
You think I'm gonna leave you, like I'm here. So
I was just like after that day, that song meant
so much to me, and every time I would listen
to it, I would just cry or would give me
hope of like she's here with me. So that's why
I chose that song. But not only because of that.
It was kind of like my mom walking me down
the aisle as well, and I had her picture, but
(25:25):
also because Emilio dedicated me that song, so to me,
it was like a sign of when he dedicated me
that song he didn't know that my mom had from
heaven dedicated me that song, and that's how I took
it right. And when he dedicated to me that song,
I was like, oh my god. Like in that moment,
I felt like, this is the guy. I think my
(25:46):
mom sent him to me. And I don't know if
I ever even told Emilio that, but that's how I felt.
And it was like confirmation, like, oh my gosh, this
guy's special. He's not just another guy. And that's why
I walked down the eyele with that song. And I
definitely did feel my mom. I felt her more in
the room when I was getting ready, when I saw
(26:07):
my sisters and they were there, I felt her there.
I felt like she's here with me. You know. When
my nieces were there was such a beautiful moment, you guys,
Like my nieces were helping me Jayla who's now fifteen
years old, going to be fifteen, helping me put on
my shoes. It was just beautiful when I felt my
mom there, And of course when I heard the song,
(26:27):
I felt like she was walking me down the aisle
because that's how I had planned it, and it was
just so perfect, you guys, I wouldn't change a thing,
not even the elevator thing, because I feel like even
the whole elevator event, just like I felt safe because
Emilia was there and I was like, okay, he's here,
(26:47):
like he's the most important person in my life, you know,
and Jenica was there. I was freaking out because I
wish Jenica hadn't been there because then my whole thing
of like mama bear and big sister want to like her.
I was just like, I need you to get off
the elevator first before me, because I'm not going to
get off this elevator with you still in here. So
I made sure take her off before me. Take Emilia,
(27:09):
take them because I know myself, so I forced both
of them to get out of the elevator before I did.
That's just the motherly person I am. I guess I
don't know, call it what you will, but even that,
even that whole elevator situation, I feel like it just
really confirmed to me this is the person and we're
stuck together, you know, we're stuck together forever. It was
(27:32):
almost like that thing that kind of like solidified the
whole day and I we went through it together, and
I'm so glad that we were together and he wasn't
alone or I wasn't alone the elevator, like he wouldn't
have allowed it anyways. Like he's always like protecting me
and taking care of me and making sure I'm fine.
But even with that, guys, it was the most beautiful
day of my life. And I'm just I'm just grateful.
(27:56):
I'm grateful that God sent me this person and the
person that I can count on and something that I
will share with you, guys. In my vowels, I said,
thank you for loving me like no one else has
ever loved me, not even my parents. And I really
mean that. And I know that might sound weird, but
(28:17):
I asked my sister Jackie the other day after the
wedding and I said, look, I said this in my
vowels because other, I know people heard it because the
microphone was amazing. So I all the guests heard my vowels.
They heard our vowels like clearly. And I said, I
don't know. Did the kids, my siblings, did they mention anything.
Did I offend you, guys? I don't mean to offend
you or to take anything from mom, because I know
(28:37):
my mom loved me.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I know she did.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I know she didn't know how to show it sometimes
because I was the eldest and we were so close
in age. But the love that I'm experiencing right now,
I feel like God sent it to me so that
I can really believe and know what real love feels like,
because he's been very patient and even in my ugliest moments,
(29:02):
he's been very patient and loving and gentle. And you know,
sometimes I'm not saying he's never like gotten crazy or
anything like that, like we're all human, but I want
to say ninety percent of our relationship he has been
very gentle and diligent, and that stability that my life needed,
(29:25):
and the love that he shows me, I've never experienced
where it's like.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
It's just beautiful.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's I don't want to get into details, but like
it's just a beautiful thing that I'm experiencing. And my dad,
I'm sure he loves me and loved me when I
was little and things happened there, but I can't explain
it like it's this is this is a different type
of love, you know, And I really truly mean that,
(29:52):
And without offending anybody, Because my mother was a great mother,
she wasn't a perfect mother, but she was the perfect
mother for me who I needed. And now I have
the perfect man for me. I'm not perfect, he's not perfect,
but it's that person that just came to really give
me hope and for me to believe in love again
(30:16):
and in marriage because I didn't for so long because
I was let down. I felt let down, and he
has helped me heal. Because that's another thing. I was
very honest with him, like, hey, I'm not doing good
when we first met, and he has helped and said
I want to help you. You don't have to do
this alone. And he's never once abandoned me, and I've
(30:39):
had a lot of abandonment issues because of my childhood
and things that have happened. So that's what I meant,
and not that I feel like I have to explain
myself because I really don't care what anyone thinks besides
my siblings, really, but I just wanted to explain it
because I just hope that everyone can find that type
of love one day, because we do deserve that, and
(31:00):
I for so long felt that maybe I don't deserve
this person because I am so jaded. I have so
many things I have to work through and now I
know that I do deserve it, that it's heaven sent,
and it's going to be work, and we both have
to put in our part, and I'm willing to do it.
And there's no other person that I'm I would love
to do this with. I just wish that for everyone.
(31:23):
I hope that everyone can find that and really experience
that and give themselves a chance to love and to
love again and not give up on love, even if
you've been hurt, and if you've been cheated on, and
if you've been lied to, and if you've also been
the person to hurt other people, like we deserve to
be loved no matter what and experience this, but we
have to be open to it, and we have to
(31:44):
be willing to do the work, our own work, our
own internal work, so that we can attract who we
want to attract. And I think that we both were
in that space in our life where we were working
on ourselves, and now we can work on ourselves together
and for each other. And that's what it is. And
(32:05):
it took me a long time to understand that, and
I know it won't be perfect, but it's okay. I
am willing to put in the work and I know
he is too, and that's all there is to it, guys.
So yeah, that is my story. And yeah, I just
wanted to take a little sigh because I really wish
(32:27):
I can go back to that moment. It was so fun.
But I'm also glad to be home because I'm pretty
Vegas out. There's a lot of days in Vegas and
I can only do like maybe three days in Vegas, max.
But it was awesome, it was beautiful, it was perfect,
and I just wanted to share that with my listeners
here on Cheeky's and Chill because I know you guys

What up, y'all.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome to this week's episode of Cheeky's and Chill. Thank
you all for tuning in, and believe me, you're going
to want to listen to this episode because let me
introduce myself as Jinnay Sanchez. Woo.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm a married woman now, you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I am married, and I want to talk to you
guys about everything, well not everything, but most of everything
that happened in my wedding. So let's get started, okay, guys. So, yes,
I am now Jinney Sanchez. And yes, I'm going to
change my last name. That is one of the biggest
questions that I have been getting the past few days.
(00:43):
Are you going to change your last name? Are you
going to hyphen it? No, I'm going to change it,
you guys. I'm just waiting for the marriage certificate and
I'm going to go with it because he deserves it
and that's it and I'm happy to do that and
I can't wait. I'm actually thinking if I should had
a middle name since I don't have a middle name.
But that's a conversation I have to have with my husband.
(01:05):
Oh my god, husband, it's so crazy. Still still, it's
so weird.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Like coming out.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I don't know, it's beautiful, but it feels like just
foreign obviously. But anyways, I'm very proud. So I'll keep
you guys updated on when I change my name and
if I decide to do a middle name or not.
And I'm not going to say the middle name yet
until I figure that out, but I have the idea already.
I already know what I want. So yes, I am
changing my last name and now talking about that now
(01:31):
that I am a married woman. Let me tell you
guys a little bit about the wedding. We got married
in Vegas. I'm sure you guys have seen some videos
a little bit of footage on social media, but it
was in Vegas, and I wanted it very small and
intimate and very close, just family. It was just gonna
(01:53):
be family, very immediate family. And then it just started
trickling into like really close friends and then I just
have to like stop it at a point because it
was just getting out of control and what a media
and I wanted the most was like not to spend
a lot of money. We wanted it to be very
intimate so we didn't feel overwhelmed on our day because
usually when you have events where you have parties, like
you're hosting and you have to go say hi, you
(02:15):
never get to enjoy the damn party. And that's one
thing that was very important to Emilio. He's like, I
want to enjoy my wedding day. I want you to
enjoy it. I want to enjoy you. I want us
to be present. And it was exactly that. It was
so perfect, you guys, so beautiful. It was hot as
hell in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It was like one.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Hundred and eight I believe, but the days prior to
that it was like one hundred and eighteen, one hundred
and twenty. So I was really scared. We did decide
to have because it was like, you know, July and
it was going to be very hot. I wanted a
evening ceremony, so we did get married at seven o'clock.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Of course, I was late. Okay, I didn't want to
be late, but.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I was late, and then I was so stressed out
because I was gonna be late. But then I was like,
Emillion knows who he's marrying, Like he knows. I'm not
like this inconsiderate person that's like, okay, I'm late and
I want to be late.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
And if everyone. That's not who I am. You guys.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
If I'm late, it's always because something happened, Like it's
just honestly, I'm not even like lying. So yes, I
was what ten minutes late to my wedding, and I
felt really bad because I kept thinking about the guests.
I was like, they're sitting outside. It was like pullside
you guys. It was like about eighty people and it
was only able to be fifty and it became eighty.
(03:31):
So I was worried about the guest. I was worried
about a milia on his suit and I was like,
oh my god, it's gonna be hot. So anyways, just
moments before, I think like I was calm the entire
day a Milio and I.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It was my idea.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I told him, look, let's not sleep in the same
room the night of the wedding so that we can
miss each other. So I got a room at a
separate hotel. And he wasn't too happy about the idea,
but he went with it. And I think it was
really nice that we did that because we spent a
few days or should I say, couple days together and
we went to the spa the day before the wedding,
(04:02):
and we like hung out and we drank a tiny bit,
not a lot, because we're like, we want to be
fresh and feel fresh. So the day of the wedding,
I woke up in my room, he woke up in his,
and the whole thing was, We're just going to text
each other good morning, and I'll see you at the altar.
And that's basically what we did. He texted me first
and he was like, good morning. I can't wait to
marry you. I love you so much, I can't wait
(04:24):
to see you so cute. And then I responded, I
said a good morning, my love. I'm excited, can't wait
for you to be my husband, and I'll see you
at the altar. And then I sent him two songs,
and the two songs were I'll meet you at the altar. Bye.
I forgot the name of the damn group. It just completely.
I drew blink, meet me at the altar with your
watdress that song right, And then I sent him the
(04:46):
Shania Twain song There's Still the One, the only one
to Dream.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That song. I'm sure you guys have heard it.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So I sent him those two songs, and then after that,
Silence and Mind you, and Media is a type of
man that asks me at least every hour, babe, are
you good.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
What are you doing? Are you hungry? Did you eat?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You want me to send you a coffee. He's so attentive,
and I am with him too, like, hey, babe, I
love you. I miss you even after like three and
a half years. You guys like, we're like that, and
I hope it stays that way. God please bless our marriage.
I could just keep praying that because I know it's
not going to be easy, but I just love what
we have built together. So I just wanted to last.
So anyways, going back to my story, so we didn't
(05:28):
talk at all. I went to the spall, I got
a facial, he worked out, He went to you know,
to breakfast with a couple of friends, and I was calm.
I started writing my vowels. He bought us these books,
you guys, because I was like, okay, I'm just going
to write my vowels like I do everything else on
my notes in my phone. But a media is like,
(05:49):
absolutely not. You are not going to walk up to
the altar with your phone in your hand. So I
was like okay, So he bought us these cute little
vowel books because he's like, let's write them in here
and keep them forever. And I said, okay, his was black,
mind was white. So I started writing my vowels. I prayed,
I meditated, and it was just still not coming out.
So I was like, let me go to the spall
(06:09):
get in the jacuzzi, like relax. So when I came back,
I had a really nice lunch, you know, because I
was like, I'm not going to eat. I want to
look really cute in my dress. And all my friends
were like, you better eat. You need to eat. So
on the day of my wedding, I ate a little
salmon with some spinach. I did get a chocolate cake.
I had a little bit. So I had a very
very nice breakfast, which wasn't really breakfast.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It was like at one o'clock.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So anyways, that was my only meal. And then I
started writing my vowels and I wrote them in my
damn phone, right, and then everything started going really quickly
because I wanted to change my nails, and the Knill
lady took a little long. She was wonderful though, so
so sweet, but it took a little long to take
off my Jelgs and like the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Gave me a manicure.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So it took like, honestly, like three hours, so that
took a lot of my time. So that's when I
started getting a little antsy. And then hair and makeup,
you guys. Hair was there. He started because he was
waiting on me to finish my nails. He started to
Na's hair. My sister and makeup, you guys. Her flight
was delayed two hours. That's kind of when I was like, Okay,
I'm just gonna breathe. I'm just gonna breathe. I was like, okay,
(07:09):
worst case, I'll do my own makeup or Jenica will
help me do my makeup. So anyways, makeup was supposed
to start at three thirty. My makeup artists did not
get there toe five because all of the flights were
being canceled because it was so damn hot in Vegas.
So the more heat, the more turbulence this whole thing, right,
So anyway, she made it, and my sister, Jenica, well,
(07:29):
we got a little worried. So Jenica started kind of
doing my eyes and trying to help me because I
was kind of getting a little antsy. And then I
was like, oh my god, everything's delaying. I have to
be out there at six thirty and I still have
to write my vowels from my phone to my book.
So I started freaking out. So anyways, I sat there,
she got there, we got hair and makeup ready. Everything
was good, and I was about to walk out and
I almost forgot well, mind you, I forgot the ring.
(07:52):
That's another thing, the ring I bought Emilio. I forgot it.
We left to Vegas and Amelia was like, hey, you
know we got the ring. Oh my god, your ring.
I freaking left it. So I had Janica, my sister.
Thank god, she was leaving a little later than we did,
so she picked it up for me. So that's one thing.
So anyways, then going back to my story, hair and
(08:13):
makeup was done. I started putting on the dress and
I'm like, oh my god, my vowels. I had completely
forgot you guys, and I was like, I cannot walk
with my phone. He'll be pissed. So the last hour,
around six o'clock, that's when I started kind of getting like, really, Auntie,
I was like, I have to get dressed. We still
have to take pictures here. The photographer was there, my
nieces were there. It was really really beautiful, and you
(08:33):
guys are going to see all the details in my docufollow.
But anyways, it was beautiful. But I started getting antsy,
and that's when I started feeling very nervous, like not
scared to get married. It was just like, oh my god,
I need my person. The only person that calms me
down is a medio. And I was freaking out and
I wanted to make sure that I did what he
wanted for us, to transfer my vowels from my phone
(08:56):
to the book that he bought us. So that's what
made me late because it was so important. And you guys,
this is what I mean. Phones are digging over our
lives because I don't remember anyone's phone number but his.
That's the only number that I know. And he made
me memorize it because he's like, Janey, if your phone
dies one day, who the hell are you gonna call?
Because I know no one's number, only his. And that's
(09:19):
only because he told me I had to memorize it.
But you guys, I am not used to writing in
my notes. My vowel seems so short and like cute,
and I was like damn do I need to add more?
Thank god I didn't, because when I went to transfer them,
it took forever. My hand was hurting and I was like,
oh my god, this is so long. I was like,
oh my god, I'm not used to like using my
(09:40):
hands to write. That's insane, you guys. I told myself
I need to start journaling more and writing because I
do everything on my notes. I love reading actual books,
physical books, but like when it comes to journaling, I
do everything on my phone and I'm just like, no,
this cannot happen. And that's why it took so damn long.
And that's why I was ten minutes late, and that's
why I was freaking out. But anyways, I get out there,
(10:02):
I'm already bawling. I see my brother Mikey, and I'm like, brother,
oh my god, I'm marrying my best friend. I can't
wait to see him. I'm freaking out. He's the only
one that calms me down. Like that's when I started
just freaking out. I was just more, I just want
to see him. I just want to fall into his arms.
As I was walking from my room to the altar,
I was like, dude, I just want to lay in
(10:23):
bed with him, Oh my god, and like we're gonna
have dinner and all this stuff, and I was like,
I just want to lay with him.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I just want to lay with him.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I'm feeling so overwhelmed. And then he's the only one
that calms me down. And that's how I know. I'm like,
this is my fucking person. This is the person I
meant to be with. And as soon as I saw
my brother and I was like, brother, you look so handsome.
And I was telling him how he's gonna walk me
down the aisle because we didn't rehearse any of this.
This was all no. We didn't have any a dinner rehearsal.
I didn't have any you know that mas. How do
you call the amas the bridesmaids? I didn't have a
(10:48):
maid of honor. My sisters are basically my maid of
honors because they were there with me. But it wasn't
like something we talked about or my brother's Even the
day of I said, hey, guys, you guys are walking
me down the aisle.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Just FYI.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I was like, Mikey, you're going to start and then
you're gonna take me to Johnny. Then Johnny, you're gonna
take me to a media and that's how it happened.
As soon as I saw my brother Mike, we were
talking and I was just telling him I love him, dude,
like I love him, and I just started crying. I
was already crying before I even started walking, and I
still couldn't see him. And then he took me to
Johnny and then I was just like, oh my god.
I was like, oh my god. The first thing I
(11:19):
told him media when I saw him was I missed
you so much. And I was crying and he was
just like, I know me too. It was so beautiful,
you guys, and the vowels were amazing. I'm so proud
of both of us, and that was like, I think
the biggest compliment they gave us. Our guests were like,
oh my god, the vowels. So many people were crying.
I think you could just feel the love and it
(11:41):
was so peaceful. After that, after I was just he
was holding my hand and I was looking into his eyes.
I was just like, okay, yeah, I'm good now, okay cool.
I feel excited about the rest of the day because
walking there I wasn't. I was just like, oh my gosh,
it's gonna be such a long day. I was just
being like, you know, just a baby. But then everything
just went so fun after that. And I don't want
(12:04):
to give too many details because I want you guys
to see everything on the docu follow because my docu
cameras were there. But again, it was a very small
crowd and it was a very special, special ceremony. It
was so beautiful, exactly like what I wanted and I
dreamt of even better, I think than what I had imagined,
(12:25):
especially because we both love water, so there was like
a piece of like water with like a jacuzzi small
pool situation, and we both love that. And it was
just beautiful. It was perfect. It wasn't overly decorated. I
wanted the flowers to be wide. I wanted to be
very simple. I wanted my dress to be timeless, and
I think we nailed it. Like my designer, I told
(12:47):
her exactly the kind of fabric I wanted. I was like,
I want it to look like cake. I don't know
how else to explain it, but like not a fond
of cake, like a butter cream cake, like very silky
and just delicious. And it was amazing, and I was
very worried, you guys, because after the miscarriage, I hadn't
gotten my period and I was feeling very bloated. My
hormones still aren't leveled, so I've been feeling very bloated,
(13:10):
and like my last two shows, like I could see
it in my wardrobe and I'm like, oh my gosh,
like it's my hormones. My body's still trying to get
back to normal, and I'm worrying white. So I was
very nervous, but I was like, you know what, even
when it came down to it my dress, because I
was worried about it not fitting, it fit perfectly and
I didn't care. I was just like, whatever, I'm marrying
my homeboy, this is my homie, this is my man,
(13:31):
this is my best friend, Like whatever. He loved me
when I was seventy six pounds heavier, So we're fine.
And even that, I didn't care.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I was just happy. It was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
After that, we went to take pictures. Then we had
a dinner and the dinner was fantastic, amazing. This is
what I meant. But I wanted it to be small
and intimate because I was able to go to everyone's
table and not feel overwhelmed and just see my friends
and family and tell them that I love them and
that I appreciate them being there. And I was having
(14:03):
a drink and we're having a good time, and I changed.
I had three changes, but I only ended up doing two.
And then after the dinner, we went to a club
and that was so fun. Had a lot of fun,
a lot of fun. And then guys, check this out.
After the club, around two o'clock, I was already feeling buzzed.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
So my husband was like, we gotta go.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I was like, okay, cool, let's go. We get in
the elevator. I was one of the first ones to
get on, so I didn't realize how many people were
getting on the elevator. There were twenty people in the elevator.
Don't ever do that, you guys. We got stuck in
the elevator.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yes, we did. For two and a half hours.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
We were stuck in the elevator. I had a relax
because Emilio he does suffer from anxiety. So I said, okay,
I'm going to relax. I can't freak out because at
first I was like, oh my god, I can't breathe.
I was like okay, and I thought it twice and
I'm like, Okay, something's happening. I was like, but I'm
not going to freak out in a stay calm. Because
Emilio's mom was also in the elevat with us, you guys,
I was like, oh my god, he's if if I'm
(15:03):
not calm, he's going to freak out. Because there were
people freaking out again. It was all people I knew,
and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Mind you, it's
super freaking hot in Vegas. The music is blasting, okay,
blasting for like an hour, and so we were like,
please turn off the music because it's driving us nuts
because we were trying to talk. People were freaking out.
It was just too much. We were like so overstimulated,
(15:25):
it was. It was insane. Anyways, and media cracked open
the door him in one of our security guards, and
then we were I think that's when more people started
calming down because we started getting a little bit of air.
But yeah, that's what happened, guys. So it's gonna be
definitely a day and a night to remember in a
wedding to remember, because we could have died on our
wedding day. Thank god, we didn't, and thank God, everyone's safe.
(15:46):
They had to rescue us out of the damn elevator
you guys from you know, the elevator shaft, and they
put like a helmet on us and they put this
whole thing and like we had to get out one
by one. So by the time we got out of there,
it was four thirty in the morning. So that is
our story. We're going to be able to tell people now.
It's a little funny, but when we were in there,
(16:08):
there was a moment where I was like, God, okay,
let's talk a little bit Lord.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Because I was meditating. I was like, okay, I was chill.
I was like, I.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Honestly was chill because I always know God is going
to come through. But I did say, look, Lord, like
I still have a lot of things I want to
do and I just got married and this isn't I
don't want to go out like that. And I was like, God,
you got this. So that's when everything switched and I
was like, Okay, we're gonna be fine. But it did
feel eternal, and it's a good thing I guess to
(16:37):
tell our children or our child because I think we're
only going to have one or whatever God wants. And
the next day, I think we both woke up like,
oh my gosh, did that just happen? And we were
like in our heads, but I had to shake it
off because I was like, no, this is our wedding.
Our wedding was so beautiful. I don't want us to
just remember the damn elevator event. So I was like, no,
we have to get up and celebrate life because at
(16:58):
the end of the day, God allowed us to live today,
and let's go to the pool and have fun. And
we did that and we continued with our celebration and
it was wonderful and it's just something to add to
our story. Like Kimberly Annell, my assistant who you guys
met here on the podcast already the next day, she
was just laughing because she wasn't on the elevator. She
(17:19):
went to sleep. She's like, hey, guys, I'm not going
to Dre's if that's okay. So she wasn't there with us,
but she did say She's like, I think it's just
really funny, like within five hours, you guys had the
highest of highs and the lowest of lows all in
one day. And I'm like yeah, she was just it
was after I was like, okay, I can laugh a
little bit. So anyways, that is what happened. After the
(17:41):
festivities of the wedding. Now we can talk a little
bit about certain details. There are people that, yes, did
get their invitation only a few days before, and others
did know, like our immediate family, for about a few
months before. Not on purpose, you guys. I was just
so busy and so overwhelmed with life and work. I
(18:03):
tend to do that. I kind of procrastinate in that aspect,
where again I deal with things or things that I
have to do the week of I'm like, okay, this week,
I got to do this, this and this and that.
So some people did get the invitation a little late,
and yes, some others didn't get the invitation at all.
And it's not because I didn't want them there. It's
because it was just a different type of ceremony and
(18:25):
wedding and it was again meant for family only, and
then it just started kind of getting a little bit bigger.
And we are planning on having a more religious wedding
in the future the near future, and those people will
be invited. Other people that are still very important to
us that we love, but because we had this idea
of having a celebration later, we just kind of like
(18:46):
you know, said we'll invite them then. And people were
asking who made my dress? And her name is Cindy
of Our. I don't even think I'm pronouncing her name
her last name correctly, but she was awesome. She made
all three dresses, She made me three vels, She made
me two robes that I didn't even ask for. She
gifted me the robes which was like for me to
(19:08):
get ready, and then one for like, you know, for
consummating the wedding, which was really cute. And she also
made my mother in law's dress and my grandmother, well
a Medio's grandmother who's now like my grandmother who I've
adopted her like outfit so cute. And we did have cake,
you guys. We had a strawberry cake, which is so
weird because usually I'm more of like, we both love
(19:30):
funfetti type of cake or chocolate cake or Emelio loves vanilla,
but we went with a strawberry cake. We had a
tasting and we went with a strawberry cake, which was
so weird because a Medio doesn't even really like strawberries,
but he loved the cake. The cake was so freaking
delicious and very simple. I wanted everything very simple, just
very classy and elegant. And again, timeless is like the
(19:53):
only word that I kept like thinking of. I'm like,
I want everything to be timeless. And the cake was
so pretty, and we the whole thing where he's feeding
me cake and I fed him cake. It was just
really cute. And I think my favorite moment of the
entire wedding, i'd have to say, was when I saw him,
when I just was like, oh, there's my safe haven.
(20:16):
I'm like freaking out and the only one that could
just tell me everything's gonna be okay it's him, and
I was just like oh. It was just that moment
of relief of like, oh my god, I can breathe again.
And I miss him because I missed him. I really did.
Like it might sound silly, we didn't sleep together one night,
and we didn't really like talk for hours.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
It was just a lot. That's how I knew this
is it.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
This is the person for me, Like I really enjoy
my time with him, he doesn't bore me, He's my
favorite person to be around. Everything I said in my vowels,
which you guys will hear one day, is absolutely what
I felt. I wanted it to be one hundred percent honest,
and it was some like he's my favorite travel buddy,
he's my favorite human, like I don't get bored. And
(20:59):
I think that's why it's my favorite moment. Was because
when I saw him, I wasn't crying because I was
getting cold feet. I wasn't crying because I was scared
or nervous or I'm like, oh my god, I'm gonna
be married. I'm committed, like I'm like, can't do anything
in my life, like no, Like we had these conversations
prior to our wedding, like what I wanted, what he
expected as well in a marriage, and I didn't feel
(21:22):
pressured in any way. It was just I missed this person.
I love this person, like I cannot wait to marry them.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
So it was just so amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
And a lot of people were asking me, you know,
because I should be on my honeymoon right now, and
they're like, why aren't showing your honeymoon? Like, you know,
people think that I'm off social media because I'm not
on social media right now. People think that it's because
we're on our honeymoon, and that's not true.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I have a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I actually had a lot of work the monday after
my wedding, but I had to cancel it because I
don't know if you guys can hear it, but I'm
a little sick.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I got sick.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
My throat has been acting funny, and I think it
was just I was dealing with the cough the day
before the wedding and then I think it just got
worse because of the heat and then going into the
hotels and the whole thing. So it's just like I think,
once I got back home, I was in like my
comfort and I let like my guards down, and my
body was just like, Okay, you need a chill. You've
been drinking and partying and you know what I mean,
and you had a lot of fun. And my immune
(22:20):
system just, you know, took a toll. But I'm better.
So we're not on our honeymoon. We want to take
a honeymoon at the end of the year, and I
think we have decided to do Asia. We were between
Asia or Europe, and I think we're going to do
somewhere in Asia. We actually have to finalize that soon,
but we do. We're definitely going to do a honeymoon
(22:41):
and practice making children. You know, we're having a lot
of fun in that aspect. And now, like I told
my pastor, and I was telling I don't even remember
who I was, Like, you guys were not fornicating anymore.
Like we're just we're having great sex and it's awesome.
So now we're having married sex. Does it feel the same?
I love?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Does it feel better?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah? Has he put two thumbs up? You guys? All right,
we're good.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
He's in the living room because today I'm doing the
podcast you guys from my home and what else?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
What else can I tell you guys?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yes, my mother.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I don't know if you guys noticed in the pictures
that I posted on Instagram, but on my bouquete of
flowers Miramo, I had a picture of my mother and
I walked down the aisle with a very special song.
And we've talked about this song on the podcast, I
think in the first season. It's a song by Shade
and it's called by Your Side and it's one of
(23:35):
my favorite songs. And let me tell you a little
bit about this song because when I was going through
it very heavily in twenty In twenty thirteen, I was
driving Johnny to school and I was feeling very sad,
but I wanted to be very strong, and I was
just very overwhelmed, and I was just like, very sad
and depressed and very angry during that time, as you
guys know, and I've expressed here. And when I dropped
(23:57):
Johnny off at school, as soon as I dropped him off,
I don't know how, by the glory of God, the
grace of God, I did not get in an accident
because I was driving my mom's Mercedes that day. Because
Johnny loved to go in that particular car because that's
the car that my mom would take him to school in,
you know, and he would love listening to the Wave
because that was my mom's favorite ninety four seven the
(24:20):
way that one that was my mom's favorite station. So
that was like a little thing that we had. Let's
go in the Mercedes, I'll drop you off at school,
and we'll listen to the Wave. So as soon as
I dropped off Johnny, I was crying. I was a
freaking mess. I was just having one of those moments
of like I don't know if I can continue on,
like I'm just devastated in my life. And I was
(24:41):
praying and I was like, Mom, talk to me, like
I need to hear from you, like guide me, give
me a sign. And my mom was a huge Shadai fan,
and I knew of Shade because of my mom, and
all of a sudden, that song came on and I
feel like the times that I've talked to my mom
or when I feel my mom is through music. So
I felt and I took that as a sign because
(25:02):
if you guys listen to that song and you break
it down, it was like I'm here, I'm by your side.
You think I'm gonna leave you, like I'm here. So
I was just like after that day, that song meant
so much to me, and every time I would listen
to it, I would just cry or would give me
hope of like she's here with me. So that's why
I chose that song. But not only because of that.
It was kind of like my mom walking me down
the aisle as well, and I had her picture, but
(25:25):
also because Emilio dedicated me that song, so to me,
it was like a sign of when he dedicated me
that song he didn't know that my mom had from
heaven dedicated me that song, and that's how I took
it right. And when he dedicated to me that song,
I was like, oh my god. Like in that moment,
I felt like, this is the guy. I think my
(25:46):
mom sent him to me. And I don't know if
I ever even told Emilio that, but that's how I felt.
And it was like confirmation, like, oh my gosh, this
guy's special. He's not just another guy. And that's why
I walked down the eyele with that song. And I
definitely did feel my mom. I felt her more in
the room when I was getting ready, when I saw
(26:07):
my sisters and they were there, I felt her there.
I felt like she's here with me. You know. When
my nieces were there was such a beautiful moment, you guys,
Like my nieces were helping me Jayla who's now fifteen
years old, going to be fifteen, helping me put on
my shoes. It was just beautiful when I felt my
mom there, And of course when I heard the song,
(26:27):
I felt like she was walking me down the aisle
because that's how I had planned it, and it was
just so perfect, you guys, I wouldn't change a thing,
not even the elevator thing, because I feel like even
the whole elevator event, just like I felt safe because
Emilia was there and I was like, okay, he's here,
(26:47):
like he's the most important person in my life, you know,
and Jenica was there. I was freaking out because I
wish Jenica hadn't been there because then my whole thing
of like mama bear and big sister want to like her.
I was just like, I need you to get off
the elevator first before me, because I'm not going to
get off this elevator with you still in here. So
I made sure take her off before me. Take Emilia,
(27:09):
take them because I know myself, so I forced both
of them to get out of the elevator before I did.
That's just the motherly person I am. I guess I
don't know, call it what you will, but even that,
even that whole elevator situation, I feel like it just
really confirmed to me this is the person and we're
stuck together, you know, we're stuck together forever. It was
(27:32):
almost like that thing that kind of like solidified the
whole day and I we went through it together, and
I'm so glad that we were together and he wasn't
alone or I wasn't alone the elevator, like he wouldn't
have allowed it anyways. Like he's always like protecting me
and taking care of me and making sure I'm fine.
But even with that, guys, it was the most beautiful
day of my life. And I'm just I'm just grateful.
(27:56):
I'm grateful that God sent me this person and the
person that I can count on and something that I
will share with you, guys. In my vowels, I said,
thank you for loving me like no one else has
ever loved me, not even my parents. And I really
mean that. And I know that might sound weird, but
(28:17):
I asked my sister Jackie the other day after the
wedding and I said, look, I said this in my
vowels because other, I know people heard it because the
microphone was amazing. So I all the guests heard my vowels.
They heard our vowels like clearly. And I said, I
don't know. Did the kids, my siblings, did they mention anything.
Did I offend you, guys? I don't mean to offend
you or to take anything from mom, because I know
(28:37):
my mom loved me.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I know she did.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I know she didn't know how to show it sometimes
because I was the eldest and we were so close
in age. But the love that I'm experiencing right now,
I feel like God sent it to me so that
I can really believe and know what real love feels like,
because he's been very patient and even in my ugliest moments,
(29:02):
he's been very patient and loving and gentle. And you know,
sometimes I'm not saying he's never like gotten crazy or
anything like that, like we're all human, but I want
to say ninety percent of our relationship he has been
very gentle and diligent, and that stability that my life needed,
(29:25):
and the love that he shows me, I've never experienced
where it's like.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
It's just beautiful.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's I don't want to get into details, but like
it's just a beautiful thing that I'm experiencing. And my dad,
I'm sure he loves me and loved me when I
was little and things happened there, but I can't explain
it like it's this is this is a different type
of love, you know, And I really truly mean that,
(29:52):
And without offending anybody, Because my mother was a great mother,
she wasn't a perfect mother, but she was the perfect
mother for me who I needed. And now I have
the perfect man for me. I'm not perfect, he's not perfect,
but it's that person that just came to really give
me hope and for me to believe in love again
(30:16):
and in marriage because I didn't for so long because
I was let down. I felt let down, and he
has helped me heal. Because that's another thing. I was
very honest with him, like, hey, I'm not doing good
when we first met, and he has helped and said
I want to help you. You don't have to do
this alone. And he's never once abandoned me, and I've
(30:39):
had a lot of abandonment issues because of my childhood
and things that have happened. So that's what I meant,
and not that I feel like I have to explain
myself because I really don't care what anyone thinks besides
my siblings, really, but I just wanted to explain it
because I just hope that everyone can find that type
of love one day, because we do deserve that, and
(31:00):
I for so long felt that maybe I don't deserve
this person because I am so jaded. I have so
many things I have to work through and now I
know that I do deserve it, that it's heaven sent,
and it's going to be work, and we both have
to put in our part, and I'm willing to do it.
And there's no other person that I'm I would love
to do this with. I just wish that for everyone.
(31:23):
I hope that everyone can find that and really experience
that and give themselves a chance to love and to
love again and not give up on love, even if
you've been hurt, and if you've been cheated on, and
if you've been lied to, and if you've also been
the person to hurt other people, like we deserve to
be loved no matter what and experience this, but we
have to be open to it, and we have to
(31:44):
be willing to do the work, our own work, our
own internal work, so that we can attract who we
want to attract. And I think that we both were
in that space in our life where we were working
on ourselves, and now we can work on ourselves together
and for each other. And that's what it is. And
(32:05):
it took me a long time to understand that, and
I know it won't be perfect, but it's okay. I
am willing to put in the work and I know
he is too, and that's all there is to it, guys.
So yeah, that is my story. And yeah, I just
wanted to take a little sigh because I really wish
(32:27):
I can go back to that moment. It was so fun.
But I'm also glad to be home because I'm pretty
Vegas out. There's a lot of days in Vegas and
I can only do like maybe three days in Vegas, max.
But it was awesome, it was beautiful, it was perfect,
and I just wanted to share that with my listeners
here on Cheeky's and Chill because I know you guys
would appreciate it. So thank you for listening, Thank you
