a guy you love very much. This is a very
very happy occasion. You are notoriously tight, and I'm sorry

wedding item and saying that's too expect Just when.

Sarah Ferguson slash Elton John Sarah Ferguson, Yeah, she spends
a fortune on flowers.

She can't afford that. I'll tell you right now. So okay,

So why princess Princess? That's too expensive? Princess Prince?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
We worked with.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
We worked with a woman who we both think is brilliant.
We love her very much. Her mother was getting married
not long before this person was getting married, and her mother,
who has a substantial amount of money, went to the
church where she was going to get married. Remember this,
The night before the wedding cut flowers in the garden
to do her bridal bouquet and to put flowers on

(03:02):
the her own flowers. She had her own flowers from
the church where she was getting married.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
The next day she was she wasn't in the grave.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
She went in under darkness and cut the flowers herself
at the church.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay, so I don't want anyone, I might just visa
the get some opinions on the somewhere somewhere between three
thousand and forty.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Thousand dollars, but not just that. The wedding game show
with Larry Enda.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Weddings are notoriously expensive. I had a friend who got
married number of years ago and she wanted to book
a car and they said yes, and then the certain price.
When they found out it was a wedding, they said,
oh no, it's going to be more than that on
this your Special day. And so that became the catch
cry for everything. On this your Special Day, we jack
it up.
