Speaker 6: We didn't forget that.
2:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, I'm going to dig into that a little
2:18
Speaker 2: bit because now that's fresh in my mind. But one
2:21
Speaker 2: of the reasons that you're here is because you are
2:24
Speaker 2: a good friend to Dylan and Hannah. Their wedding looked
2:28
Speaker 2: it looked so nice that it's hard to believe. Is that?
2:31
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? Like it the pictures make me go,
2:34
Speaker 2: what's going on here? Like what happened that? Like this
2:37
Speaker 2: wedding was pulled off the way it was like, I
2:39
Speaker 2: don't get it. It's not it's not computing in my mind,
2:43
Speaker 2: and so I need your help and explaining to me
2:45
Speaker 2: and the audience, Uh, like what was going Like what
2:49
Speaker 2: was happening? This looked like a wedding I would watch
2:52
Speaker 2: on national television for like a prince and princess.
2:55
Speaker 6: It was like the Royal wedding.
2:56
Speaker 5: We kept saying that, like in the pictures, don't you
3:00
Speaker 5: and capture like the I'm like, oh, that doesn't even
3:02
Speaker 5: look like it, Like it just couldn't even capture it.
3:05
Speaker 6: But yeah, guys, it was insane.
3:07
Speaker 5: It was so basically it was in We were in
3:10
Speaker 5: Paris at the hotel, like the whole party pretty much
3:12
Speaker 5: stay at the same hotel, and we get bused.
3:13
Speaker 6: To like an hour hour away from the city, like
3:17
Speaker 6: out in the middle of nowhere. We're like arriving. We're
3:19
Speaker 6: all in these little like Mercedes buses. Like what's it
3:22
Speaker 6: going to be like?
3:23
Speaker 5: And we show up and we walk out in this
3:25
Speaker 5: just long driveway up to this like beautiful chateau and
3:29
Speaker 5: we're walking on cobblestone.
3:31
Speaker 6: And all of a sudden, like a string quartet starts.
3:34
Speaker 5: Playing, and like it's so quiet and everything, and then
3:36
Speaker 5: people can come out like giving us champagne and AfterAll
3:40
Speaker 5: sprits and we're sitting down like it just feels like
3:43
Speaker 5: you're transported to like a different time, completely different time. Yes,
3:47
Speaker 5: like I was is this like where are we? It
3:50
Speaker 5: was just and everything was just so beautiful, and then
3:52
Speaker 5: the ceremony.
3:53
Speaker 6: Was so intimate and Hannah looked like as she always looks,
3:58
Speaker 6: but just like simple and elegant and the stunning.
4:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then we had cocktail hour. I don't know
4:04
Speaker 5: if you guys want detail by detail, but so.
4:06
Speaker 4: The theme her look was supposed to be nineties super
4:10
Speaker 4: model inspired and that whole like that whole vibe, which
4:15
Speaker 4: if you were to watch commercials from the nineties was
4:17
Speaker 4: kind of their their theme for the whole wedding.
4:20
Speaker 6: Yes, and there was kind of very.
4:23
Speaker 5: Just the like every little is the elegance, but like
4:26
Speaker 5: simple elegance.
4:27
Speaker 6: It was like it's so hard to describe.
4:30
Speaker 5: Everything was just like it seems simple, but it was
4:32
Speaker 5: the most extravagant thing ever.
4:34
Speaker 6: So just her just the way she looked.
4:36
Speaker 5: It was like her dress was the most stunning dress ever,
4:39
Speaker 5: but it was just plain, no frills nothing. Her hair
4:42
Speaker 5: was just back like perfectly and a half a half.
4:44
Speaker 6: Down in a long veil.
4:47
Speaker 5: Even the music was just like yeah, it was just
4:50
Speaker 5: it was the you felt the nineties then kind of
4:52
Speaker 5: parent trap theme too. I think that's what she was
4:54
Speaker 5: kind up to it, which is great. Their first dance
4:56
Speaker 5: song was the Love but the parent Trap so cute.
5:01
Speaker 2: So I mean, I gotta let's start it then from
5:04
Speaker 2: the beginning. For those that don't know, including myself, why Paris,
5:10
Speaker 2: I think Paris.
5:11
Speaker 5: I think they wanted to do something special, But I
5:13
Speaker 5: think Paris was something that for Dylan and Hannah they
5:15
Speaker 5: just had like a special place in their heart.
5:17
Speaker 6: And they're like they didn't know where they I think.
5:19
Speaker 5: They tore a bunch of different venues like here, and
5:22
Speaker 5: they're both in San Diego now too, and I think
5:24
Speaker 5: they just like fell in love with Paris.
5:26
Speaker 6: And the spot and they're like, let's just freaking do it.
5:29
Speaker 5: And they brought everything to Paris, like their hair people
5:33
Speaker 5: they're making like everyone had.
5:34
Speaker 3: The same flower people.
5:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the flowers were unrealist.
5:38
Speaker 3: Like I was like, oh my gosh, they sent all
5:40
Speaker 3: they sent them there.
5:41
Speaker 6: Everything everything to Paris.
5:43
Speaker 2: It can it be cheap? Right, Ashley.
5:48
Speaker 4: I think a lot of us out there are speculating.
5:50
Speaker 4: Just be like, okay, so what was trade? What came
5:53
Speaker 4: as influencer trade? And what was paid for by the
5:58
Speaker 4: you know them and the family. Yeah, I didn't even
6:01
Speaker 4: know what you've did that come and what are the
6:03
Speaker 4: translation the money? You know?
6:04
Speaker 3: Was it cheaper to do in Paris or was it
6:06
Speaker 3: more expensive to do in Paris?
6:08
Speaker 5: And yeah, and it was a Wednesday, so like maybe
6:10
Speaker 5: it was a Wednesday, But also at the same time.
6:13
Speaker 6: I'm like, I don't even think they were thinking about
6:14
Speaker 6: that and it doesn't matter.
6:15
Speaker 4: And being a Wednesday because people have to travel that
6:18
Speaker 4: far anyway exactly.
6:19
Speaker 6: So it didn't matter.
6:20
Speaker 5: But yeah, I don't even I couldn't even begin to
6:23
Speaker 5: imagine what it costs. But I don't even know if
6:26
Speaker 5: that was a Yeah, it was just I was like,
6:28
Speaker 5: this will be something I will never I've never experienced
6:31
Speaker 5: before and I'll never experience again.
6:33
Speaker 6: Like It's just it was one of those.
6:35
Speaker 2: Things, isn't it weird? I don't know if you felt
6:38
Speaker 2: this way I felt. I feel like this wedding would
6:40
Speaker 2: have made me feel like this more than ever. But
6:43
Speaker 2: you get invited to a wedding and you're obviously good
6:46
Speaker 2: friends or you're family members with the people getting married,
6:50
Speaker 2: You know them well, you're a part of their you know,
6:53
Speaker 2: top four hundred or five hundred or one hundred or
6:56
Speaker 2: whatever it is, and then you get see these weddings,
6:58
Speaker 2: especially ones like this, and they feel like untouchable in
7:02
Speaker 2: a sense, like celebrities. Does that ever happen to you?
7:05
Speaker 2: Like you're almost like nervous to be around them at
7:08
Speaker 2: these weddings because they're such in the spotlight and they
7:11
Speaker 2: look so beautiful and that it's their night too, and
7:13
Speaker 2: so you want to respect that. But that always happens
7:15
Speaker 2: to me at weddings where the bride and the groom
7:18
Speaker 2: feel like celebrities. To me, they feel untouchable in that
7:22
Speaker 2: moment totally.
7:25
Speaker 5: And I feel like even at this wedding even more
7:26
Speaker 5: because people were like, you know, it was like talked
7:28
Speaker 5: about and they kind of arease celebrities.
7:31
Speaker 6: So I was like, I don't deserve to be here.
7:34
Speaker 6: Why am I here? You like, I'm pos now?
7:36
Speaker 3: And there was only about one hundred and fifty people, right.
7:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm really bad at numbers. But it was not
7:41
Speaker 5: big at all, I mean in comparison to what it
7:43
Speaker 5: could be. It felt intimate too, It felt very intimate,
7:48
Speaker 5: But yeah, I was I had that feeling ben for sure.
7:50
Speaker 5: It was like, what is happening? How I shouldn't be here?
7:54
Speaker 5: These people are too cool for me?
7:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean. But you did show up. So
7:58
Speaker 2: you showed up to Paris, you said they You stayed
8:00
Speaker 2: in the hotel with a few other Bachelor alum and
8:03
Speaker 2: some friends and people that you probably knew. Did you
8:07
Speaker 2: have any expectation of the beauty that this wedding was
8:11
Speaker 2: gonna be or the extravagance of this wedding or were
8:15
Speaker 2: you shocked throughout the process.
8:19
Speaker 5: I think I knew it was going to be beautiful,
8:21
Speaker 5: and I had seen like little bits and pieces of
8:23
Speaker 5: like you know, some details and stuff like that, but
8:27
Speaker 5: I could not even begin to imagine. I don't even
8:31
Speaker 5: think pictures or videos could even begin to explain. Like,
8:33
Speaker 5: I think it was like a feeling that you felt
8:36
Speaker 5: that they like so curated so perfectly that I couldn't
8:40
Speaker 5: even begin to.
8:41
Speaker 6: Like picture it or like even imagine what was going
8:44
Speaker 6: to be.
8:44
Speaker 5: So no, I did not think it was going to
8:46
Speaker 5: be as magical or extravagant as it was. And I
8:50
Speaker 5: think the venue had a lot to do with that,
8:52
Speaker 5: because it was just like, yeah, you're transported back in time,
8:55
Speaker 5: and the backside of the venue was even better than
8:57
Speaker 5: the front, and it was just like it was something else.
9:11
Speaker 3: What were the vows?
9:11
Speaker 5: Like?
9:13
Speaker 6: They were so sweet and so personal.
9:15
Speaker 3: I remember anything specifically from them.
9:18
Speaker 5: I think, honestly, I don't know specific Let me try
9:22
Speaker 5: to think I think Dylan was I had never seen
9:25
Speaker 5: I like don't picture Dylan as emotional, like I just
9:29
Speaker 5: I didn't even think, like, I don't know, they're kind
9:30
Speaker 5: of like silly and like really sweet with each other.
9:32
Speaker 5: But I don't really I don't think I personally ever
9:35
Speaker 5: see them super like, I don't know, emotionally vulnerable towards
9:39
Speaker 5: each other at least, you know, not in like that
9:43
Speaker 5: public way. And it was so sweet to see like
9:46
Speaker 5: Dylan so emotional and.
9:48
Speaker 6: Crying, like crying when he see her saw her walk
9:50
Speaker 6: down the aisle, and his vows were just like really sweet.
9:53
Speaker 5: Still had like the Dylan like funny jokes in there,
9:56
Speaker 5: but so so sweet and like yeah intimate and just
10:01
Speaker 5: like really like vulnerable and tender, which I thought was
10:05
Speaker 5: really really cute.
10:06
Speaker 6: And Hannahs were the same.
10:07
Speaker 5: They're they both were just like I was really glad
10:09
Speaker 5: they did like their own vows because I wasn't sure.
10:11
Speaker 5: I was like, maybe I'll just be like more formal
10:13
Speaker 5: to make it more perfect, like you know, just do
10:15
Speaker 5: the vows of what they like, repeat after the pastor
10:18
Speaker 5: or whatever it was. It was yeah, very sweet, very emotional,
10:22
Speaker 5: and I don't know, it just felt it didn't feel
10:25
Speaker 5: like a TV type situation at all, you know, it
10:27
Speaker 5: felt like they just met each other.
10:28
Speaker 2: And yeah they're in love. Yeah, so you know, obviously
10:34
Speaker 2: we've been around Dylan a few times. I've never known
10:36
Speaker 2: him to be emotional either.
10:38
Speaker 4: Uh.
10:38
Speaker 2: They're always funny and goofy and just ready to have
10:41
Speaker 2: a good time wherever they're at.
10:43
Speaker 4: Uh.
10:44
Speaker 2: You know, I do know many of the guys that
10:48
Speaker 2: are part of Bacheloration, Like, I've never heard anybody dislike Dylan,
10:52
Speaker 2: but I and I'm very unfamiliar And so can you
10:55
Speaker 2: remind us if any of the guys from the show
10:58
Speaker 2: were invited and at this wedding? And Okay, so who
11:03
Speaker 2: was all there? I guess maybe just from Bachelor Nation,
11:06
Speaker 2: because I do know a lot of them that would
11:07
Speaker 2: consider themselvesselves friends with Dylan. I just don't know how
11:10
Speaker 2: many of them are that close of friends.
11:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, so for the guys, it was only Jed and
11:16
Speaker 5: Mike were there.
11:17
Speaker 6: Those are the only two guys, Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson.
11:20
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh I didn't see pictures of him. Yes, I
11:22
Speaker 3: guess I didn't see pictures of Jed either. I just
11:24
Speaker 3: saw pictures of the girls.
11:25
Speaker 6: The girls probably the only ones who took actual VOTs them.
11:30
Speaker 6: But yeah, so for on the guys that it was
11:32
Speaker 6: just Jed and.
11:32
Speaker 2: Mike's because those are two people that did not come
11:36
Speaker 2: to mind when I think of people that I know
11:38
Speaker 2: to be friends with. Dylan.
11:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, I honestly didn't know who to expect coming from
11:43
Speaker 5: Dylan sid. I thought maybe Mike, but yeah, I didn't know,
11:46
Speaker 5: and so yeah, it was just those two.
11:48
Speaker 4: Some fans are speculating that it's weird that Tyler Cameron
11:50
Speaker 4: wasn't there.
11:52
Speaker 6: I wasn't sure. I was wondering if Tyler Cameron was.
11:54
Speaker 5: I think maybe Tyler was invited and he couldn't come,
11:58
Speaker 5: But I don't yeh.
11:59
Speaker 6: I was surprised for that too.
12:01
Speaker 2: Why are they is Dylan and are Dylan and Tyler friends?
12:05
Speaker 5: I think that Tyler they were on the same season,
12:07
Speaker 5: so I think there are Yeah, from what I know,
12:10
Speaker 5: but I'm not too familiar either.
12:13
Speaker 2: The well, the girls obviously did take the pictures. Many
12:19
Speaker 2: of these women that were there are in relationships some
12:22
Speaker 2: of you are not to at least publicly yet. One
12:26
Speaker 2: of the things about a wedding, especially one that's romantic
12:28
Speaker 2: and extravagant, is it brings love to life, and there's
12:32
Speaker 2: usually amazing stories at weddings of people finding love. Maybe
12:38
Speaker 2: at it, there is there any love stories that you
12:41
Speaker 2: would like to share, or maybe about you personally that
12:44
Speaker 2: came from this wedding.
12:47
Speaker 6: There is none. There wasn't many single people out of
12:50
Speaker 6: this wedding.
12:51
Speaker 3: I have to say, at least I know so no.
12:56
Speaker 5: I mean, how amazing would that have been meeting someone
12:58
Speaker 5: in Paris at a wedding.
13:00
Speaker 6: I would love to say that was my story. Sadly,
13:05
Speaker 6: it seems like a movie, it does. It would be great.
13:08
Speaker 6: I would love to have been that one up.
13:11
Speaker 4: Well, I have to ask about food because I'm a foodie.
13:14
Speaker 3: I hate calling myself a foody.
13:15
Speaker 4: That's so stupid, but I do think about the food
13:17
Speaker 4: when I go to a wedding. I'm like, that's all
13:18
Speaker 4: I really care about, beyond the vows, like vows, Now
13:22
Speaker 4: it's food time. Okay, So what did you guys have
13:24
Speaker 4: as entrees or appetizers?
13:26
Speaker 3: Cocktail? Hower tell us everything was the signature drinks.
13:29
Speaker 5: I was so.
13:29
Speaker 6: Excited about it.
13:30
Speaker 5: Okay, but first of all it was really cool. Was
13:31
Speaker 5: an ice sculpture that had had like a little thing
13:35
Speaker 5: and espresso Martini coming out of it, which was just
13:37
Speaker 5: to me.
13:38
Speaker 3: Wait, especial Brcini was coming out because I was.
13:41
Speaker 5: Like a little from the top, like they could like it,
13:43
Speaker 5: like came down through the bottom and it was just
13:45
Speaker 5: awesome with their initials on it.
13:47
Speaker 6: I was like, oh my gosh, so perfect.
13:50
Speaker 5: So that was amazing for drinks, and then the best
13:54
Speaker 5: French onion soup I've ever had in my life was
13:56
Speaker 5: the appetizer. We were all going crazy. I was like,
13:59
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, that's the best tend and soup ever. Truly,
14:03
Speaker 5: I'm like, it's just not gonna live up to that again.
14:05
Speaker 5: And then at dinner, I I know, I love I
14:08
Speaker 5: love the food too. The dinner, I had a really
14:11
Speaker 5: good truffle nocchi and I also split some of my
14:15
Speaker 5: sisters like steak, beef whatever.
14:18
Speaker 6: It was so good. And then I didn't have dessert.
14:21
Speaker 6: I should have had. It was on the table after,
14:23
Speaker 6: but everyone was dancing and I was really bummed about that.
14:26
Speaker 2: The wedding, obviously, we know Dylan Hannon, they do like
14:29
Speaker 2: to party, one of one of the things at weddings
14:33
Speaker 2: as well. I'm just I just really really want to
14:35
Speaker 2: know that the juicy stuff to this wedding. So far,
14:39
Speaker 2: it sounds like romance was not in the air. So
14:41
Speaker 2: I'm assuming then you you drink your pains away. H
14:47
Speaker 2: an hour long shuttle ride between a venue and a
14:51
Speaker 2: hotel can be one of two things. It can be
14:54
Speaker 2: awful because after a wedding and everybody is on then
14:58
Speaker 2: on a bus, stuck on a bus for an hour
15:00
Speaker 2: going up and down the hills of France. Or it
15:03
Speaker 2: can be incredible with sing alongs and you know all
15:08
Speaker 2: the extra stuff that goes on. How was the van home?

15:35
Speaker 5: That's so interesting that you ask. The van home was
15:40
Speaker 5: a wild ride. I don't know how much to describe,
15:43
Speaker 5: but it was. I think, yeah, everyone had been It
15:46
Speaker 5: was till one in the morning, so everyone had been
15:48
Speaker 5: drinking all I my sister doesn't drink, and I really
15:53
Speaker 5: I think it was just distracted. I wasn't really drinking
15:56
Speaker 5: that much, but it was. I think most people were
15:59
Speaker 5: drinking it and it was.
16:01
Speaker 6: It was a wild ride, that's all.
16:03
Speaker 5: I don't know how much detail to go into, but
16:04
Speaker 5: people were there was lots of situations going out on the.
16:09
Speaker 4: D tell us the situations, Yeah, you know, just like,
16:15
Speaker 4: did it feel like a high school like field trip
16:18
Speaker 4: us a little bit?
16:19
Speaker 6: Yeah.
16:19
Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of high school field trips
16:21
Speaker 2: you went on, Ashley, but from what I understand, this
16:23
Speaker 2: was not a high school field trip.
16:25
Speaker 6: I do know what you're saying.
16:26
Speaker 4: I I know, yes, like did somebody make out and
16:29
Speaker 4: it was just like, oh my god, they're making out?
16:31
Speaker 6: No? No, no, no.
16:32
Speaker 5: It was more just like a I don't know, like
16:35
Speaker 5: people were getting their little tips. Maybe people were, you know,
16:39
Speaker 5: it was just like it was just everyone was on
16:41
Speaker 5: a different level on the ride home and it was
16:44
Speaker 5: fine by the end, but it was an.
16:46
Speaker 2: Interesting I asked this because I know with Jessica and
16:49
Speaker 2: I's wedding, we had a shuttle that was about a
16:51
Speaker 2: forty minute shuttle back to downtown Nashville, and uh, one
16:55
Speaker 2: of my best friends tells me that is one of
16:57
Speaker 2: the most fun forty five minutes he's ever had. You had, Yes,
17:00
Speaker 2: you had little arguments going on because people are, you know,
17:04
Speaker 2: tired and they've had a long night. You also have
17:06
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of drink. Yea have romance going on.
17:09
Speaker 2: And then you have the singing typically and the karaoke
17:12
Speaker 2: and the dancing, and this bus or this shuttle just
17:17
Speaker 2: feels like a mix of chaos and beauty and memories
17:22
Speaker 2: and and so I'm curious just when you sit in
17:25
Speaker 2: that environment, and yes, you probably do remember it because
17:29
Speaker 2: it's you, Heather, Like, did it did it just feel
17:33
Speaker 2: like a beautiful ending to a beautiful wedding?
17:39
Speaker 3: Why it was this bus?
17:43
Speaker 6: It was?
17:44
Speaker 5: It was a beautiful, and it was I think everyone
17:46
Speaker 5: was just on a different level, that's all.
17:48
Speaker 6: It like. It was just yeah, ever, it was just wild.
17:54
Speaker 4: How many people were on this Because you said they
17:56
Speaker 4: are a little Mercedes one, so they had a little
17:58
Speaker 4: shuttle like the shuttles.
18:00
Speaker 6: So it was big. It was like a full on
18:01
Speaker 6: it was like a school bus size.
18:03
Speaker 4: Oh okay, all Bachelor Nation was in one bus.
18:09
Speaker 5: Three buses so so now no, I wasn't even on
18:13
Speaker 5: the same bus as I think the girls. I was
18:15
Speaker 5: with the girl Demian Cathy, and then a bunch of
18:20
Speaker 5: some people. A lot of people didn't know there was
18:22
Speaker 5: like so there's three different sections of buses, but I
18:25
Speaker 5: don't know.
18:26
Speaker 6: I just sat back.
18:26
Speaker 5: I think the bus ride from me, I sat back
18:28
Speaker 5: and I watched it felt like I was watching the show.
18:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was great, Ben. You had to have known
18:44
Speaker 3: there was something about the bus.
18:45
Speaker 2: No, I just know buses bring out the best people. Uh,
18:48
Speaker 2: Heather h to kind of continue on here. Uh, would
18:52
Speaker 2: you rank this as a top five most beautiful wedding
18:55
Speaker 2: that you've been to? Considering you've been to.
18:58
Speaker 5: It's it's the best, most beautiful wedding I will ever
19:03
Speaker 5: be like go to that truly.
19:05
Speaker 6: I just yeah, I don't think anyone will do it
19:08
Speaker 6: like it.
19:09
Speaker 5: I know that I'll never have a wedding like that,
19:10
Speaker 5: and it's totally I've accepted that.
19:12
Speaker 6: There's no you know, it's just one of those things.
19:14
Speaker 5: It was.
19:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had your shot to have that kind of wedding.
19:18
Speaker 2: You didn't meet your prince charming in France, and so
19:21
Speaker 2: it brings us then into your personal life a little bit.
19:23
Speaker 2: Do you have a prince charming in your life? In general?
19:26
Speaker 6: I do not, Ben, I do not have a friends charming.
19:29
Speaker 6: You guys have let me know.
19:31
Speaker 2: Your storyline during the Bachelor was that I think, what,
19:34
Speaker 2: you've never been kissed or something? Then you got kissed,
19:39
Speaker 2: and uh, have you been kissed since?
19:42
Speaker 5: I say, I don't kiss and tell anymore goodness, but
19:49
Speaker 5: I have dated sense, and I just think it's tough
19:51
Speaker 5: out there.
19:52
Speaker 6: It is just it's a world.
19:55
Speaker 2: It's a rough one, it is. I'm hearing that more
19:58
Speaker 2: and more. I mean, we've gre to headline yesterday that
20:02
Speaker 2: Susie Evan said dating has become I think the quote
20:06
Speaker 2: was almost like some of the people are discussed like
20:08
Speaker 2: they just like really been disgusting, and it sounded like
20:11
Speaker 2: they had been based on her quote, but dating had
20:13
Speaker 2: just been really hard. That's why I'm thankful I'm not
20:17
Speaker 2: doing it. But yeah, it's just it's for you. It's
20:19
Speaker 2: not easy, Huh.
20:20
Speaker 6: It's not.
20:21
Speaker 5: I just think I I've always like, it's always been
20:23
Speaker 5: like I'm not super and I don't just want to
20:25
Speaker 5: date to date.
20:26
Speaker 6: I just don't have fun dating. Oh, it's horrible. I
20:30
Speaker 6: hate like saying no to people. I hate like going
20:32
Speaker 6: on a date and then like yeah, I mean not.
20:34
Speaker 3: Liking them and then having to let them down.
20:36
Speaker 6: Oh, the worst feeling in the world.
20:39
Speaker 5: And I feel like that's you know, that's obviously dating
20:41
Speaker 5: has the majority of the time of what happens, so
20:44
Speaker 5: it's just not fun. And I feel like I'm looking
20:46
Speaker 5: for like a very specific thang in person. So I
20:50
Speaker 5: just and it's just hard to find. Yeah, yeah, I
20:53
Speaker 5: just it takes one. I always say it just takes one.
20:56
Speaker 2: Well holding out for that, but well, you know, necessarily.
21:01
Speaker 2: But you are a friend to Minny. You are a
21:04
Speaker 2: good friend. People like you. Heather, you getting invited to
21:08
Speaker 2: a lot of cool events, and your best friend or
21:10
Speaker 2: one of your best friends or a friend. I don't
21:12
Speaker 2: know how you categorize her, but say she's she's up
21:16
Speaker 2: there in your life. Is Hannah Brown? She just got engaged.
21:20
Speaker 2: I'm going to go out on a limb here and
21:22
Speaker 2: say that Hannah Brown's wedding might be as spectacular.
21:28
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be more low key.
21:29
Speaker 2: You think, well, yeah, what do you think Heather?
21:32
Speaker 6: I think more low key. I think she's more low key. Well,
21:36
Speaker 6: I don't know. She lays nice things too, but I
21:38
Speaker 6: just don't. I think Adam and Hannah are just gonna
21:42
Speaker 6: have like a I think it's.
21:43
Speaker 5: Gonna be stunning and beautiful. Yeah, but it probably won't
21:47
Speaker 5: be comparison. It'll probably be more.
21:48
Speaker 6: Chill, you know. Yeah, yeah, but who knows. You never know.
21:52
Speaker 6: People will surprise.
21:53
Speaker 3: You did you know, the engagement was coming.
21:56
Speaker 6: I did.
21:56
Speaker 5: I was I was going to fly out. Adam had
21:59
Speaker 5: told me like a month and a half.
22:01
Speaker 6: Ago and he's like, I'm doing this at.
22:03
Speaker 5: The Bolt Farm Treehouse thing, and like, I just want you.
22:06
Speaker 5: He's like I just had this vision of you being there,
22:08
Speaker 5: blah blah blah. I was so excited and he's like,
22:10
Speaker 5: it's the twenty fifth and like, oh, you're like, I
22:11
Speaker 5: have a wedding.
22:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the wedding.
22:13
Speaker 5: And then I had to fly to another wedding, so
22:15
Speaker 5: I couldn't even Yeah, I couldn't even remotely even I
22:19
Speaker 5: was going to try to like do it where I
22:20
Speaker 5: can be there for like three hours and then come back,
22:22
Speaker 5: and I was just like, it wasn't in the cards.
22:24
Speaker 5: So I was very sad not to be there, but
22:27
Speaker 5: it was. I think it was perfect for them, and
22:29
Speaker 5: it was so beautiful. And now I'm like, I'll go
22:32
Speaker 5: out there and when I have more time to actually
22:33
Speaker 5: hang out with them and all the things. But they're
22:36
Speaker 5: very happy, they're very happy, and it was, Yeah, it
22:39
Speaker 5: was stunning, So I'm so happy for them.
22:43
Speaker 2: Well, Heather to close up here, thank you for breaking down,
22:47
Speaker 2: Dylan Hannah's wedding. Obviously, what we got from it is
22:49
Speaker 2: it's beautiful, it's spectacular. It took you to a different
22:52
Speaker 2: place in time.
22:54
Speaker 3: I had a very interesting bus ride.
22:55
Speaker 2: And you had a great bus ride. But we started
23:00
Speaker 2: podcast with me admitting that I totally forgot that you
23:02
Speaker 2: were on Matt James's season. We first saw you obviously
23:06
Speaker 2: on Colton's season. You then commented back to me and said,
23:11
Speaker 2: I could forget, Like You're glad I forgot that you
23:13
Speaker 2: were on Matt James's season. Why is that? Obviously you
23:18
Speaker 2: made a conscious choice to show up. There was something
23:22
Speaker 2: that was intriguing about Matt to you, you walked in.
23:25
Speaker 2: It's hilarious to me that you walked in because you
23:27
Speaker 2: are a very sweet, kind, just innocent soul in so
23:31
Speaker 2: many ways, and yet you come in and cause drama,
23:34
Speaker 2: which I think is hilarious. So going back in that
23:38
Speaker 2: time now looking back on it, how do you feel
23:41
Speaker 2: about that decision?
23:43
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't regret the decision, because I think
23:46
Speaker 5: I would have regretted not trying. And at the time,
23:51
Speaker 5: all the evidence pointed to like we could be a
23:54
Speaker 5: good match, you know, Like I was like, I just
23:57
Speaker 5: all I knew is I wanted to meet him, and
24:00
Speaker 5: Hannah really wanted me to meet him.
24:02
Speaker 6: It seems like, okay, like this could be.
24:04
Speaker 5: You know, it's Hannah just never says like you guys
24:08
Speaker 5: would be a good match.
24:09
Speaker 6: She does not. That's not really.
24:12
Speaker 5: I think like she's just very She's like, no, she's
24:14
Speaker 5: very particular for friends and what you know, she knows
24:17
Speaker 5: and so she's never like she's not like a matchmaker,
24:19
Speaker 5: like always trying to set me up.
24:21
Speaker 3: You know, are they still friends?
24:23
Speaker 6: I think so. I don't think they tell you know,
24:24
Speaker 6: it's just a wonder to things.
24:25
Speaker 5: We don't talk all the time. But yes, they're definitely.
24:27
Speaker 5: I think they're definitely still friends. Yea. But yeah, so
24:31
Speaker 5: I was just like, if I don't do it, I'm
24:33
Speaker 5: gonna regret it. So I don't regret trying because I
24:36
Speaker 5: think I would have been wondering.
24:39
Speaker 6: And now I don't have to wonder. I just have
24:41
Speaker 6: to embarrass myself on TV. But it was great. It
24:44
Speaker 6: was one of those fun things to look back on.
24:46
Speaker 6: It was hilarious.
24:47
Speaker 5: Everyone laughs at me in my family and friends, and
24:50
Speaker 5: it's it's a fun memory.
24:52
Speaker 4: Now, Heather, you shared with me something at the wedding
24:54
Speaker 4: that we were both out this weekend about your stint
24:58
Speaker 4: on that season, and we can't go step by step.
25:02
Speaker 3: Through it, we get in trouble.
25:04
Speaker 4: But if you can just sum it up and like
25:06
Speaker 4: a sentence, what would you say, Oh, gosh, Ashley, I.
25:12
Speaker 3: Have a line for you.
25:13
Speaker 6: If you don't come up with it, I a sentence.
25:16
Speaker 6: I don't know.
25:17
Speaker 2: I just.
25:21
Speaker 6: I don't know. I just feel like, yeah, I think
25:23
Speaker 6: it was something that.
25:26
Speaker 4: I don't know how some of those sentences say, don't
25:28
Speaker 4: always believe what you see.
25:31
Speaker 2: If I'm a listener right now, I have no clue
25:32
Speaker 2: what the two of you are talking about. I have
25:34
Speaker 2: no idea what's going on.
25:35
Speaker 3: We're making them think.
25:37
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm thinking about. There's no there,
25:40
Speaker 2: there's no uh, there's no context. So, Matt James' season,
25:45
Speaker 2: you told Ashley something in secret. Ashley's now asking you
25:48
Speaker 2: to summarize this experience. Is what I'm assuming and getting.
25:52
Speaker 6: From this, Yes, exactly, and you.
25:56
Speaker 2: Have yet to summarize it.
25:59
Speaker 6: I don't know how to summarize that.
26:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think actually got it, Like things
26:02
Speaker 5: aren't always the way they look or seem.
26:06
Speaker 2: So what I get from that is you did not
26:07
Speaker 2: know Matt James was the bachelor. You showed up somebody else.
26:11
Speaker 5: They told me, they lied to me and said it
26:13
Speaker 5: was this person and to share it, and I was
26:16
Speaker 5: shocked to see him.
26:17
Speaker 4: But the one fact that nobody would actually believe that
26:20
Speaker 4: is true is that Heather herself chose the minivan to
26:24
Speaker 4: drive up to Nemicole and them.
26:25
Speaker 5: That is absolute fact. People always think that was something. Yeah,
26:29
Speaker 5: even actually asked this second, like, oh they.
26:31
Speaker 6: Made you that.
26:31
Speaker 5: I was like, that was the one thing that I
26:33
Speaker 5: did on my own, Yeah, the one thing that was
26:36
Speaker 5: my own decision.
26:37
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I have a philosophy, Heather. Anybody who drives a
26:41
Speaker 2: minivan without kids, they're a baller. I like him.
26:45
Speaker 4: I was gonna say suspect, Now I respect it.
26:49
Speaker 2: I have two buddies who chose to drive a minivan
26:51
Speaker 2: all through college. Tons of space, tons of room, uh,
26:55
Speaker 2: tons of opportunity for fun and addctivities. I love it exactly. Activities, well, Heather,

Speaker 2: very weird invite for me. And so you have to
27:22
