Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the day of Josh and Stefano's wedding in Sydney,
and as Josh puts on the first taxedo he's ever
owned in his life with thanks to Yd, He's starting
to question is he about to make a huge mistake?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Done don du dah? Why am I doing this? I've
just arrived at my hotel room. I have like an
hour to get ready and it's to take me. What
is happening? Like what I've agreed to like for the
last few weeks. I think I've been thinking of it
more from like a production point of view, are a
maybe media point of view, like oh great farm, like
(00:33):
great idea, this whole real time concept. And now I'm
here and I have to put my tucks on. Shout
out to Wyd because I am looking fresh and at
not gonna lie I never dressed up. But it's like
I'm the one getting married, Like I'm not on the
other side anymore, Like this is me. I just hope
I like the guy, because if not, I can't fake
(00:56):
it and it's gonna be the world's shortiest experiment.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Meanwhile, in bond I, Stephano is just as nervous.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
In the morning I was okay, But like from no on,
I'm feeling cardinarious because I'm getting married with somebody that
I don't know. So I'm hoping to see somebody that
is very cool, a nice person, also hot. To be honest, yeah,
I'm trying to go with the flow. I don't have
(01:26):
any expectation more than that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Stephano is also questioning how the first kiss will go
and how things may go on the wedding night.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
In the moment of the In the moment of the kiss,
if I'm attracted by him, I can start. I can
do the first step for sure. But if I'm not attracted,
I don't know. I'm gonna try. I don't want to
think about that right now the wedding night, okay. To
be honest, I'm a very sea going person, so it
(01:58):
depends on the chemistry between the two of us. Uh
go for my kids or much more. I don't know.
I need to feel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
As Stephano now awaits for his car, Josh has now
arrived at Dalton House on Jones Bay Wharf for the ceremony,
which has been transformed with hundreds of white roses by
stylist Adorable Wedding Concepts.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
I feel like I'm about to be stood up.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
No, there's no way who would stand up you?
Speaker 6 (02:27):
We don't know you yet.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Oh exactly, But.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
He's quite late.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Got an updates should be another fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Sure, he's not good with time.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
No, it's clearly not the great z. Have you got
your vows? You're ready to go?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yes, great?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Got the ring?
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Perfect?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Tick tick hotel? Sweet?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Oh so you're all ready to go home? He arrives.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
He'll a right if not, I'm just having a wine
in our home.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
But how are you being a sweet bister?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Despite his fear of being stood up, Stephano has now
arrived and it's time for the ceremony to begin.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Megan and
I'll be conducting today's ceremony. Please remain seated as a
ceremony of love will now begin.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Hi, Hi, Josh, Stephano Stefano. Yeah, okay, nice? Well, how
we feeling awkward?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Welcome to the wedding of two complete strangers, Josh and Stefano,
who may have only just locked eyes with each other
for the very first time, but they are about to
embark on the biggest adventure of their lives and one
that will hopefully last for the rest of their lives.
This may not be the most conventional way to meet somebody,
but both rooms have been batched together perfectly by Pedro
(03:49):
based on their values, physical attributes, and most importantly.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Their geographical locations.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
They stand before us today, ready to commit not just
to each other, but to this experiment to help fast
track them to their their courtship, to relationship, to finding
everlasting love. Now, before we get into the vowels, I'd
like to do a reading what is love? Sooner or
later we begin to understand that love is more than
verses on Valentine's romance in movies. We begin to know
(04:19):
that love is here and now, real and true, the
most important thing in our lives. For love is the
creator of our favorite memories and the foundation of our
fondest dreams. Love is a promise that is always kept,
and a fortune that can never be spent, a seed
that can flourish in even the most unlikely of places,
(04:40):
and this radiance that never fades. This mysterious and magical
joy is the greatest treasure of all, one known only
by those who loved. Now I shall ask you to
say your wedding vows. Josh, would you like to go first.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
It's hard to describe my feelings for you, Hair, I
have none since you're a stranger. But what I can
right about is my feelings going into this experiment with you.
I am excited, I am hopeful, and I am also terrified,
mostly of getting hurt. But life is all about taking
(05:17):
leaps into the unknown, and that's how I ended up
moving to Australia, and that's how most great adventure start.
Throughout my life, all I've ever wanted to do is
find my person and fall in love. And I've spent
a long time looking now, unsuccessfully dating, investing my time
in the wrong people, shagging so many random people of
(05:39):
apps who I felt nothing for.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Gay world, so you understand.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
And over the last couple of years, I've realized, despite
wanting it so badly, I was not ready. I hadn't
worked on myself and didn't know who I was as
a person. But looking for you now I do. I
am a mess with the best intentions. I've also realized
the type of partner I am too. I'm an old romantic.
(06:08):
I will do anything to make you happy, and I'll
always have your back as long as you have mine.
I moved to this country alone. I left my family
on the other side of the world to come here
and build a better life for myself, which I've done.
And now I'm ready to share that with somebody. And finally,
to show you how committed I am to you from
(06:29):
this moment onto hopefully forever, I'm going to take out
my phone and the leyte grinder because the only thing
I'm now into is building a life with you. Oh,
and I also have this ring to give you as
a sign.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Of my commitment.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
This finger.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yes, that's it.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Now, Stephano, would you like to your vows?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
So today I'm here marrying you. I don't even know
your name still five minutes ago, su Ah. I don't
know where you habits or even if you snore at night.
But I'm jumping in because I think that the best
(07:21):
adventures start with a little bit of grazing, right, And
I promise I'm gonna I'm gonna be your teammate during
the moments, the good times and all the surprises along
the way. And I don't know what you like or
(07:44):
I don't know what makes you laugh. Oh, I don't
know even what do you do what you do during
the during the time when nobody is watching you? But
I'm very interested to find out, uh huh, And to
be honest, I don't know. I don't know what uh
(08:06):
this hour forever will look like. But I'm here today, ah,
just in you to start this while an amazing journey together.
Something else I want to say, is that an a
mess that we have a finale? People, Then you're gonna
(08:33):
find out what I said. Wait, try to it out
and we're away from Argentina Corbor.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Well, everyone, the ceremony is now complete by the power
vested in me by the Mass Funny podcast, I now
pronounce you both husband and husband. I now invite you
to share your first kiss.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Although Josh and Stefano hit it off down the aisle,
Pedro now wanted to separate them to get their real
thoughts on each other.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
You don't do a good job, but you have you
with your match.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, Like, he's obviously very attractive.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
When I saw him from the back, I had like
a good feeling, and then when he turned around, I
was like, Okay, are.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
You excited for the wedding night? What are you gonna playing.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
A few drinks hotel room and then.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yes, I don't know what to expect, but yeah, I mean,
who knows. I felt as my type, so it's okay.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
But actually now no, I do wish to but I'm
trying to prolong that because I'm trying to build a
like emotional connection, and so I'm going to purposely hold out.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
I think the leading Grinder is a good start.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I mean a lot of people delayed Grinder and then
the other day they downloaded again, so I don't know,
we had to see. I'm not gonna check his phone.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
But are planning on asking Stefano if he's a top.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I will ask him if he's a top robot. I'm
in private. That feels like not really something for you
to hear. Padria like, let's just get to know each
other as people, not what goes well, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
The wedding party then continued to the Terminus Hotel in
Piedmont for an intimate dinner in drinks before Josh and
Stefano departed to their hotel suite as husband and husband.
