Speaker 2: Welcome to another episode of the Almost Famous Podcast. Today
0:10
Speaker 2: we have Michelle Young here. She's been engaged since we
0:15
Speaker 2: last talked to her. Hey Michelle, Hello, how are you
0:18
Speaker 2: doing good. So we were reporting on your engagement in December,
0:22
Speaker 2: but you guys got engaged a significant amount of time
0:24
Speaker 2: before that, right.
0:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got engaged in October and we're able to
0:30
Speaker 3: just kind of enjoy it and keep this secret for
0:33
Speaker 3: a little bit, which was really nice. Not something that
0:36
Speaker 3: we expected, just because it was outside and there's some
0:39
Speaker 3: people that sawce who were like, let's hope that they
0:41
Speaker 3: just let us announce it, but they did, so, yeah,
0:45
Speaker 3: it was. It happened in October, and we didn't announce
0:48
Speaker 3: until like end of December, early January, and it's just
0:53
Speaker 3: been wedding planning chaos. It's been great though.
0:55
Speaker 4: Oh that's so nice.
0:56
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm assuming you just did it so that
0:58
Speaker 2: you can privately enjoy the engagement before anybody else knew knew?
1:02
Speaker 2: Did you tell your family and your friends right away?
1:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we had Jack set up a little bit
1:08
Speaker 3: of an engagement party right afterwards, and so we were
1:10
Speaker 3: able to have like an intimate gathering with family and
1:14
Speaker 3: friends and tell some people, and then we got on
1:18
Speaker 3: the phone with some other like family members that were
1:20
Speaker 3: out of state, and so people who were really close
1:22
Speaker 3: to us knew. But we were careful to like not
1:26
Speaker 3: let it get too big, just because then you know,
1:27
Speaker 3: something happens, it slips up. We want to be the
1:29
Speaker 3: one to be able to stay, and we just wanted
1:32
Speaker 3: to enjoy it for a little bit. And you know,
1:34
Speaker 3: once you kind of announced something like that, I think
1:38
Speaker 3: all these like questions and full blown like planning and
1:43
Speaker 3: all this other stuff comes into play. So we're like,
1:45
Speaker 3: let's just take a breath and enjoy the holidays and everything.
1:50
Speaker 3: And then well as afterwards.
1:51
Speaker 2: I think that's a good decision because, yeah, you immediately
1:54
Speaker 2: get asked about planning and you're like, are you guys crazy?
1:59
Speaker 4: It just happened.
2:01
Speaker 2: Now that you've been engaged, well twice because of the show.
2:05
Speaker 2: How do two engagements compare?
2:09
Speaker 3: They don't compare?
2:10
Speaker 4: Okay, everything about those feelings.
2:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that we just I've talked about this before,
2:17
Speaker 3: but Jack, he just calms my nervous system so much,
2:21
Speaker 3: and he really puts my anxiety at Bay and so
2:26
Speaker 3: I just feel like with him, I'm able to. I know,
2:28
Speaker 3: social media has seen a little bit more of like
2:30
Speaker 3: my goofy side and all these different sides that have
2:34
Speaker 3: always been there, but I think just there's always so
2:37
Speaker 3: much going on, and so it's been really nice to
2:40
Speaker 3: just fully feel so comfortable in a relationship and so
2:45
Speaker 3: accepted and so loved. And he just is somebody who's
2:49
Speaker 3: always going to stick around. And I don't know, I
2:53
Speaker 3: can't when you're in a healthy relationship after you've been
2:56
Speaker 3: in not so healthy relationships, it's hard to expec Lane
3:00
Speaker 3: because I always said, oh, it's just a feeling, it's
3:03
Speaker 3: just a feeling. There's times where I thought I had
3:04
Speaker 3: that feeling before, and I'm like, oh, this is what
3:07
Speaker 3: it's supposed to feel like, Like this is what I
3:09
Speaker 3: actually like a healthy relationship feels like and how it operates.
3:12
Speaker 3: And so we just have, I don't know, a really
3:15
Speaker 3: great system, really great communication, and he's just he's just
3:20
Speaker 3: such a jump. I don't know how the hell I
3:22
Speaker 3: found him in Minnesota, I really don't, but if anyone
3:26
Speaker 3: could get to know him, he's like literally a lovely man.
3:29
Speaker 3: He's so wonderful Oh.
3:30
Speaker 4: That's so nice.
3:31
Speaker 2: Would you think that your relationship with Nate during the
3:36
Speaker 2: show do you think it was healthy during filming? Do
3:40
Speaker 2: you think that it's a place that anybody can find
3:43
Speaker 2: a relationship that they really know is going to work
3:45
Speaker 2: out because you only know them for eight weeks and
3:47
Speaker 2: in a secluded environment.
3:50
Speaker 3: I mean, I think anything is possible. So you see,
3:52
Speaker 3: you do see successful relationships. Yeah, I would be lying
3:57
Speaker 3: if I didn't say I really thought. I had watched
4:00
Speaker 3: prior leads go into the show and like maybe they
4:02
Speaker 3: didn't ask the correct questions to really get to know somebody.
4:05
Speaker 3: So when I was stepping into the lead, I really thought, oh,
4:08
Speaker 3: I'm going to ask the questions, whether it's like during
4:10
Speaker 3: fantasy suites or doing it's like dates and things like that,
4:12
Speaker 3: I'm going to ask the right questions so that I
4:15
Speaker 3: can fully know somebody. And then, as you know, you
4:19
Speaker 3: get out of it and go through what I guess
4:22
Speaker 3: what I went through. I did have this like shattering
4:25
Speaker 3: moment where I'm like, holy shit, you do not know
4:28
Speaker 3: because you have to watch people go through a certain
4:31
Speaker 3: amount of life, like people pass away, you navigate through
4:35
Speaker 3: death together, you navigate through sickness, together, you navigate through
4:39
Speaker 3: social media together. There's so many different things that you
4:42
Speaker 3: navigate through together that you can kind of attempt to
4:46
Speaker 3: ask questions and see during that period of time getting
4:49
Speaker 3: to know each other. But you truly don't know unless
4:50
Speaker 3: it's like this lengthy period of time. And so do
4:54
Speaker 3: I fully believe you can hundred percent you can get
4:55
Speaker 3: to know somebody. No, can you take a risk and
4:58
Speaker 3: can that risk work out? Yes? Am I really incredibly
5:01
Speaker 3: happy that my risk didn't work out? Hell? Yeah, I'm
5:03
Speaker 3: definitely with the person I'm supposed to be with and
5:06
Speaker 3: could not be happier.
5:07
Speaker 4: Oh, we're so happy for you. This is awesome.
5:09
Speaker 2: I like love, Like you could just tell from looking
5:12
Speaker 2: at her she's just absolutely going and I love It's amazing.
5:16
Speaker 2: You were really close to quote winning Matt James this
5:20
Speaker 2: season ended up being with Rachel for quite some time.
5:25
Speaker 2: They obviously got to know each other very well in
5:28
Speaker 2: real life. Did you see I mean you probably didn't
5:32
Speaker 2: see this breakup coming, as we all didn't.
5:34
Speaker 4: Really what was your take on it all?
5:38
Speaker 3: I think my take was honestly that I didn't have
5:42
Speaker 3: a take with social media. It's everyone assumes that it's
5:46
Speaker 3: so black and white, and you know, given certain platforms
5:51
Speaker 3: or opportunities to speak on things, you hear one side
5:53
Speaker 3: of the story, not the other side of the story.
5:55
Speaker 3: But you can agree with certain things, you can disagree
5:58
Speaker 3: with certain things. But for me personally, I can't sit
6:02
Speaker 3: and think about, Okay, well, who's corner am I in
6:05
Speaker 3: because through that situation, like I'm in my corner when
6:08
Speaker 3: I kind of take a look at that relationship and
6:11
Speaker 3: just this whole like I wanna say, like bandwig and
6:14
Speaker 3: jumping when it comes to like these big breakup statements
6:17
Speaker 3: or like things happening in social media, I think back
6:20
Speaker 3: to like that whole massive controversy that I sat down
6:23
Speaker 3: and I went through and I had to speak about race,
6:26
Speaker 3: and I had to be the teacher and speak up
6:28
Speaker 3: about you know, women in color and how we should
6:31
Speaker 3: be treated within reality television and explain things to people.
6:34
Speaker 3: And I went through this whole like racial trauma experience
6:39
Speaker 3: when I sat there, and so I had such a
6:42
Speaker 3: whole different experience that I kind of in my corner
6:47
Speaker 3: and I don't think about it, like I just choose
6:50
Speaker 3: to be at peace with it and not spend so
6:52
Speaker 3: much energy, you know, whose side or who's right or
6:55
Speaker 3: who's wrong, because I think both parties can make mistakes
6:58
Speaker 3: and relationships. But also it's like I spend a lot
7:01
Speaker 3: of time focusing on these two people. At the end
7:04
Speaker 3: of that season, what's sitting next to me, you know,
7:06
Speaker 3: Acho and had to have the whole conversation be about race,
7:09
Speaker 3: and so it's like I really just am in nobody's
7:13
Speaker 3: corner and am that peace with it and really don't
7:16
Speaker 3: spend a lot of time thinking about it. So I
7:19
Speaker 3: really just have tried to say off social media because
7:21
Speaker 3: like every other scroll has been this whole thing, and
7:25
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, you know, maybe it's not something that
7:27
Speaker 3: I want to like focus on spen energy on.
7:29
Speaker 4: So have you spoken to either of them since that time?
7:34
Speaker 3: No, Okay, No, I think we briefly all ran into
7:37
Speaker 3: each other with things and everything is cordial, like you said,
7:39
Speaker 3: like everything was put down, but it's just not something
7:42
Speaker 3: that I necessarily like to sit and spend energy on.
7:45
Speaker 2: Totally understand that, all right, So back to you and Jack.
7:59
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask the annoying question, have you guys
8:02
Speaker 2: started wedding planning?
8:04
Speaker 3: We have. We have started wedding planning. We have a
8:07
Speaker 3: date picked out, we have a venue picked out?
8:11
Speaker 4: Is it this year? Can you let us know?
8:14
Speaker 3: Yes? It is? It is and it's coming up quick
8:19
Speaker 3: here I'll say that. Who Yeah, yeah, we got to
8:23
Speaker 3: it like the man means business. It's really kind of
8:26
Speaker 3: nice to. I mean, long engagements are fine too, but
8:28
Speaker 3: it's we got engaged. We're like, yeah, let's do life together,
8:32
Speaker 3: let's go. And so it's been really fun with the
8:35
Speaker 3: whole wedding planning thing. But we were like full force
8:37
Speaker 3: wedding planning like we are. I don't even want to
8:39
Speaker 3: give away which everything that we've like are ordering or
8:43
Speaker 3: what's spot we're at, because I feel like you can
8:45
Speaker 3: like look up how many months ahead you would do that. Yeah,
8:49
Speaker 3: I'll give it away. But yeah, we have our wedding party.
8:52
Speaker 3: We have all that stuff asked and figured out. It's
8:58
Speaker 3: been really fun.
8:59
Speaker 2: Were you able to book the venue that you wanted
9:01
Speaker 2: to book so last minute?
9:04
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yes, Honestly, we didn't have I was never one
9:08
Speaker 3: of those girls who like pinterests how I wanted my
9:11
Speaker 3: entire wedding to look because I felt like I didn't
9:15
Speaker 3: really have an idea and I didn't want to give
9:17
Speaker 3: my heart set on something. You know, and then you
9:19
Speaker 3: go when you never know what you're gonna get married,
9:21
Speaker 3: and then you go and get to that time and
9:23
Speaker 3: you can't find anything. It's like that your heartbroken. So
9:27
Speaker 3: I always told myself I was gonna leave it open.
9:29
Speaker 3: And so we never had like this ideal, let's do this,
9:33
Speaker 3: let's do this, And so once we got engaged, we
9:36
Speaker 3: kind of started to look at times of what time
9:39
Speaker 3: of year we wanted it, how long we wanted to wait,
9:43
Speaker 3: and that conversation really pushed us to do like, okay,
9:47
Speaker 3: like we have to really like lock something down here.
9:49
Speaker 3: And so we started looking around and we were able
9:52
Speaker 3: to find a venue that we absolutely absolutely love. And
9:57
Speaker 3: I would say it was like one of my dream
10:00
Speaker 3: venues if I were to think about it. I just
10:03
Speaker 3: didn't know it yet. So we're really happy.
10:06
Speaker 2: That sounds like it's in Minnesota, YESO okay, and you
10:11
Speaker 2: guys are both from there.
10:13
Speaker 4: So how did you meet again?
10:15
Speaker 3: We met a little over a year and a half ago. Yeah,
10:20
Speaker 3: it's just kind of crazy to think about because it's
10:23
Speaker 3: really not that long. It feels like we've been together
10:24
Speaker 3: a lot longer. But yeah, we met a year and
10:28
Speaker 3: a half ago, So like August twenty twenty four.
10:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, yeah twenty three.
10:38
Speaker 4: Yeah.
10:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's been it's been good. I mean, we
10:41
Speaker 3: just kind of spent so much time together and got
10:44
Speaker 3: to know each other really quick and put all the
10:47
Speaker 3: bs to the side and the small conversation to the
10:49
Speaker 3: side for a little bit, got to the real stuff
10:50
Speaker 3: and learned about each other real quick.
10:52
Speaker 4: So do you meet through friends?
10:55
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah we did. Okay, Yeah, we met through friends,
10:58
Speaker 3: So it was connection.
11:01
Speaker 2: Look at that go on the Bachelorette end up meeting
11:04
Speaker 2: through friends in Minnesota.
11:07
Speaker 4: Yeah.
11:07
Speaker 2: How long were you friends with these friends? And why
11:09
Speaker 2: didn't they send you up earlier?
11:11
Speaker 3: That's what I asked. So we had both been friends
11:14
Speaker 3: with them. Jack had known them a little bit longer
11:17
Speaker 3: than I did, a few years, and then I recently
11:19
Speaker 3: met them like within the last like two years or so,
11:22
Speaker 3: and we got close. But what happened was I wasn't
11:25
Speaker 3: really on the apps in Minnesota or just in general,
11:29
Speaker 3: like at one time I was, I'm like, this is
11:31
Speaker 3: not for me. Everybody in Minnesota looks the same, literally
11:34
Speaker 3: every guy in Minnesota. So do you swept through uh
11:36
Speaker 3: dating app? They're in camouflage with their golden triever dog
11:39
Speaker 3: holding up a fish or like, went hunting, and I'm
11:42
Speaker 3: just like, I don't know. This is not gonna work
11:44
Speaker 3: for me. So I was with one of my girlfriends
11:46
Speaker 3: and her brother and I jokingly said to her brother like,
11:50
Speaker 3: do you have any friends that are like away looking
11:55
Speaker 3: but like honestly like a good person, you know? And
11:58
Speaker 3: I jokingly through got out there and he came back.
12:02
Speaker 3: He was like, actually, yeah, have I ever talked to
12:05
Speaker 3: you about Jack? I'm like, no, Who's Jack? So he
12:06
Speaker 3: showed me his social media or his Instagram? And you
12:10
Speaker 3: only had two pictures. So I'm like, oh, yeah, green
12:12
Speaker 3: flag two pictures only, that's great. But I actually started blushing,
12:16
Speaker 3: and I was a little interesting that I made a
12:20
Speaker 3: note of. But I was asking him like is he
12:22
Speaker 3: a good person? He said, he's so sweet. I should
12:25
Speaker 3: introduce you. And it was weird because I had brought
12:28
Speaker 3: it up. And then Jack actually had asked this friend
12:34
Speaker 3: to be introduced to me, like forty eight hours beforehand,
12:38
Speaker 3: because he kept seeing me pop up on social media
12:42
Speaker 3: and was like, I have this gut feeling just can
12:44
Speaker 3: you please introduce me to her? So he kept checking in.
12:47
Speaker 3: So after we had started dating, he was like a
12:50
Speaker 3: month in. We were talking on the couch and I
12:54
Speaker 3: was bringing up how like I asked to be introduced
12:57
Speaker 3: to him, and he's like, no, no, no, no, no, it's
13:00
Speaker 3: the other way around. And we figured out that we
13:02
Speaker 3: had both asked to be introduced to each other.
13:04
Speaker 4: Wow, that's faate, that's so cool.
13:07
Speaker 3: He beat me by like forty eight hours, but we
13:09
Speaker 3: both had this idea that we initiated it when it was.
13:13
Speaker 4: Actually, Wow, that's so cute, that's so cool.
13:16
Speaker 2: What does Jack think about you having been the bachelorette?
13:21
Speaker 3: He just I don't know he accepts it. I don't
13:27
Speaker 3: think he reached out or wasn't like I want to
13:31
Speaker 3: meet her because she was the bachelorette. He very much
13:35
Speaker 3: just had heard about like my qualities through friends and
13:40
Speaker 3: it was like she's just cute. I want to meet her,
13:42
Speaker 3: And I don't know, he doesn't. He really overlooks it.
13:47
Speaker 3: And I think that's why I like it, is because
13:49
Speaker 3: he understands and accepts like the different you like, like
13:54
Speaker 3: I said, going on podcasts and ex'es are constantly being
13:57
Speaker 3: brought up like that's not an easy thing for what
14:00
Speaker 3: I mean, he's like my fiance and he has to
14:02
Speaker 3: always hear about this stuff. We're going on social media
14:04
Speaker 3: and you know, somebody, we just did this podcast and
14:09
Speaker 3: this couple threw on he was on the podcast and
14:12
Speaker 3: they overlaid like pictures of like the proposal of me
14:18
Speaker 3: and Nate and like the one that's kind of disrespectful.
14:22
Speaker 3: If he's like sitting on the podcast next to me,
14:24
Speaker 3: that's really weird. But like there's just all these different
14:27
Speaker 3: things that he has to put up with and he
14:29
Speaker 3: accepts it because that's the baggage that I come along
14:32
Speaker 3: with and he wants to be with me, and so
14:36
Speaker 3: I love him for that. But like he Bachelorette or not,
14:41
Speaker 3: he would still be there. And that's what I love
14:43
Speaker 3: about him so much is that he understands just all
14:46
Speaker 3: the different ways that I'm tugged, the anxiety that it
14:49
Speaker 3: can bring, all the different nuances. But like he loves
14:53
Speaker 3: Michelle for Michelle and that has nothing to do with
14:55
Speaker 3: the Bachelorette.
14:57
Speaker 4: That's very sweet.
15:00
Speaker 5: Ah, what do you guys see in your future and.
15:11
Speaker 3: Say five years hopefully kids?
15:14
Speaker 4: Do you guys agree on how many you want?
15:17
Speaker 3: We definitely want more than one. I think like two. Yeah,
15:20
Speaker 3: we've talked about it, and it kind of really depends
15:25
Speaker 3: on how it goes. I always thought I would have
15:26
Speaker 3: to find now so I'm a little bit older and everything,
15:31
Speaker 3: but I don't know. It would be great to Like
15:34
Speaker 3: part of me is like I want to pop out
15:36
Speaker 3: twins so I can just have them running around and
15:38
Speaker 3: you know, get it done with.
15:40
Speaker 4: I feel that.
15:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, at the same time, I'm like, that's also a
15:45
Speaker 3: lot too. I've heard so some some kids I don't know,
15:49
Speaker 3: going to sports tournaments bringing them there like that whole life.
15:53
Speaker 3: We both absolutely love that we both had that life
15:56
Speaker 3: growing up and so hopefully something looking like that.
16:01
Speaker 4: Yeah.
16:02
Speaker 2: When I was pregnant with the first one, it was
16:05
Speaker 2: so miserable that I was just like, please let it
16:07
Speaker 2: be twins when we went in for the ultrasounds, so
16:09
Speaker 2: I don't have to do this again.
16:11
Speaker 3: But oh my goodness, did you hear that whole new
16:14
Speaker 3: statistic about how it's I don't know what percentage, so
16:17
Speaker 3: don't quote me on this, you have to look it up.
16:18
Speaker 3: But it's like majority of the men's health that decides
16:23
Speaker 3: how he goes do.
16:26
Speaker 4: We both see the same Instagram.
16:27
Speaker 2: Reel immediately have He's like, I was in better shape
16:33
Speaker 2: when you got pregnant with Dawson than when you got
16:36
Speaker 2: pregnant with Hayden, and yet you were sicker with Dawson.
16:38
Speaker 4: So how does that make sense? I don't know. We
16:41
Speaker 4: gotta look into this.
16:42
Speaker 3: I'm like, I have no idea, but I'm like, don't
16:45
Speaker 3: tell me that now, because I'm like, no drinking six
16:49
Speaker 3: months before anything. Right, I could stay fair, eat corn dogs,
16:56
Speaker 3: do all this other stuff, but like you have to
16:58
Speaker 3: be perfectly clean, right, take yourself to me.
17:02
Speaker 2: Just from my experience, I'm gonna say that I'm not
17:05
Speaker 2: one hundred percent sold in this theory. But we do
17:07
Speaker 2: like to blame the men when we're.
17:08
Speaker 4: Sick, you know.
17:12
Speaker 2: Well, Okay, before we wrap up, I just want to know,
17:14
Speaker 2: like the general vibe of your wedding. Is it going
17:17
Speaker 2: to be a surprise, Like are you going to tell
17:19
Speaker 2: people like it's our wedding weekend coming up? Or is
17:22
Speaker 2: it going to are we going to get the headlines
17:24
Speaker 2: like for your engagement like, oh, it already happened, surprise?
17:28
Speaker 4: Is it going to be small? Large? Have you picked
17:30
Speaker 4: out your dress?
17:31
Speaker 3: Like?
17:31
Speaker 4: I want these little fun details.
17:34
Speaker 3: The dres shopping is coming up here shortly, and so
17:38
Speaker 3: that will be hopefully decided on. But then as far
17:42
Speaker 3: as like, will we just give hints, I don't know.
17:46
Speaker 3: I think we'll probably eventually say once it gets a
17:49
Speaker 3: little bit closer in a safe manner. I guess you know,
17:53
Speaker 3: we're not like location time so that people can show up,
17:57
Speaker 3: but we'll like let you know, or people would just
18:01
Speaker 3: figured out. I feel like so many people are like detectives,
18:03
Speaker 3: and I have some wonderful supporters. They read between the
18:08
Speaker 3: lines and can figure anything out. So I'm sure people
18:12
Speaker 3: figure it out sooner rather than later.
18:14
Speaker 5: So you haven't dress shopped yet.
18:17
Speaker 3: No, but that doesn't mean you know. I'm also you're like,
18:22
Speaker 3: you know, I procrastinate and do things that way too.
18:26
Speaker 3: I'm very like ADHD when it comes to that. So
18:30
Speaker 3: you can't really go off of right. Like a lot
18:33
Speaker 3: of brides to order, they're dressed like a year ahead
18:34
Speaker 3: of time.
18:35
Speaker 4: I was a year.
18:36
Speaker 2: That's because they told you it's supposed to be a
18:38
Speaker 2: year ideally, which is nuts.
18:41
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, if I if that was the case,
18:44
Speaker 3: that if that was the case, like if I was
18:47
Speaker 3: able to order it a year ahead of time, then
18:49
Speaker 3: I honestly probably would have That's just timeline already passed,
18:53
Speaker 3: so I can't do that. So we're here.
18:56
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just want to like let you know that
18:58
Speaker 2: dress shopping is probably the most fun part of the
19:01
Speaker 2: entire wedding planning experience, along with tasting your menu and
19:04
Speaker 2: picking out all that food.
19:06
Speaker 3: We just finished the tasting and then it was so
19:10
Speaker 3: much fun. Yeah, it was so amazing. Yeah, that was
19:13
Speaker 3: it was a lot of It was a lot of fun.
19:14
Speaker 3: It was me and Jack and then his dad was
19:16
Speaker 3: able to come and we were at the venue and
19:19
Speaker 3: it was it was really cool to be able to
19:21
Speaker 3: go through that. I've never experienced anything like that. They
19:23
Speaker 3: just kept bringing out like massive plates of food and
19:26
Speaker 3: drinks and after like the champagne and the wine and
19:30
Speaker 3: the other wine and the cocktails. I'm like, it all
19:32
Speaker 3: tastes great.
19:33
Speaker 4: Yeah.
19:33
Speaker 2: We had to do three in Newport because like the
19:36
Speaker 2: venue that we used, they they pick from you know,
19:39
Speaker 2: you get to pick from three caterers, and it was
19:44
Speaker 2: like three days of Thanksgiving in a row. And I
19:47
Speaker 2: was like, I don't know that I want to eat
19:49
Speaker 2: like this again today. But it was really fun because
19:53
Speaker 2: it was like a whole family Thanksgiving three days in
19:55
Speaker 2: a row because we had like our parents races.
19:58
Speaker 3: Did you eat on your wedding day? Did you remember
20:00
Speaker 3: to eat? I didn't even like.
20:03
Speaker 2: Try it, Okay, so I'm all, I'm like, not the
20:08
Speaker 2: one that's gonna skip out on any type of food ever.
20:13
Speaker 2: But there was something about the anxiety, like not anxiety,
20:16
Speaker 2: like just the adrenaline I think of your wedding day.
20:19
Speaker 4: I couldn't swallow it.
20:20
Speaker 2: Like people were like, you need to eat, you need
20:22
Speaker 2: to take a bite, and I'd like try to eat it,
20:24
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I literally cannot stomach this right now,
20:27
Speaker 2: not because like I feel cleasy or nervous or anything like.
20:30
Speaker 4: That, just my body can't take it. So Jared and I.
20:35
Speaker 2: Actually ended up like six months later, having a really
20:40
Speaker 2: cute date at the caterers where we ate our entire
20:43
Speaker 2: meals like start to end.
20:45
Speaker 3: That's such a cute idea.
20:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so good, and I was so bummed
20:50
Speaker 2: out that I didn't get to experience it then. So
20:52
Speaker 2: I was like, let's just go and have like the
20:54
Speaker 2: biggest lunch of our lives. And it was really awesome
20:56
Speaker 2: that they let us do that.
20:57
Speaker 3: That's amazing. That's a good wedding tip.
21:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a good wedding tip.
21:03
Speaker 2: My other wedding tip if you're solicit advice here is
21:08
Speaker 2: just make sure that you guys hang out with each
21:10
Speaker 2: other the entire day, and like, do not worry about
21:12
Speaker 2: saying hi to people that you have never really met.
21:16
Speaker 2: From his side, this is not a day to make
21:18
Speaker 2: new friends. And don't need to say hi to like
21:21
Speaker 2: people that you're not going to see for another year,
21:24
Speaker 2: or even people that you're going to see like the
21:26
Speaker 2: next month, because the day is about you guys, and
21:30
Speaker 2: you can chat with them some other time. Quick clothes
21:33
Speaker 2: are just fine.
21:34
Speaker 3: I think that is like the biggest wedding tip that
21:36
Speaker 3: so many people have said is just stay by each
21:38
Speaker 3: other's side. Yeah, we've already, we've already talked about it.
21:41
Speaker 3: I'm like, let's just like handcuff each other so you
21:44
Speaker 3: have to be stuck.
21:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see too many brides and grooms on that day,
21:51
Speaker 2: just with a totally different group of people for over
21:54
Speaker 2: an hour, you know, they just get kind of swept up.
21:57
Speaker 4: Like, no, never leave each other for more than five
21:59
Speaker 4: time minutes.
22:00
Speaker 3: Okay, got it?
22:01
Speaker 2: Okay, And that's it because the next time we probably
22:05
Speaker 2: chat on this podcast will be after your wedding, so
22:07
