little rustling promotion in Realm, Georgia. And Fantasy had just
had a something medical happened, and we get a benefit
show for and I met Drew there with her, and
I tell you what, that boy he loved, Oh God,
the way he looked at her. It's the way that
(17:15):
it gave me and my now husband hope, you know,
to what we could be one day. And marriage just
fill ups and downs, and they've they've went through it
all and they their love was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's absolutely beautiful. It's like it's timeless.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
And that's you know, that gives us hope for all
us married couples out there to have that kind of
love that she saw were between them.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So he was. So they were married for what twenty
two twenty three years something like that. Yeah, And so
that's how you met Drew. And what is one of
that What is one of the funniest, funniest things that
you've ever done that you can remember?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
They had a cage match in August twenty twenty and
Drew was the red that the girls were putting a
heart on somebody and that the faces he was making and.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
I actually said those pictures to Christie.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
So she could have them, and some of the film
it was just he was so expressive in his face
that he was just like, oh, have you know it
was It was just wonderful that that whole experience and
watching him not only the way he looks at her
and experiencing that, but I got to see him in
the ring in a pink cage, watching his girl and
(18:41):
Christy take on these other two girls.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
In the ring, and man, it was it was something special.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It was one of those one of those matches and
one of those moments in life that you're gonna remember.
And he made I mean, the girls were doing an
amazing job, but his expressions on his face were just priceless.
