  Speaker 2: get to start out with my friends, Savannah and Jace.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Hi.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: How are you two?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: We're good.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're good.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: How's married life?
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: We love it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: I've been joking with everybody and saying as advertised, but no,
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: but it actually has been wonderful.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Jace, there is a scene, I'm not going to give
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: it all away, but there is a scene in this
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: show where you make the comment, if you don't marry Savannah,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: you'll never get married. Do you feel that more now
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: than ever?
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: I actually had a customer of mine that I was
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: talking with earlier and that got brought up in our
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: discussion this morning. So it was kind of like, I
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: was like, yeah, well, me and my wife were talking
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: about getting married. I told her, I said, it's either
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: you or nobody.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: And if it don't work, I ain't doing it again.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I believe it too.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: No, it's even more tenfold. Yeah, I'm very happy where
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: I'm at.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I bet. Well, it seems like it from the show.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I want to kick this off a little bit.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I said yes to hosting, I do. because it feels
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: like such a special show to be a part of.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I do get to be a part of your special days.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: We get to document these days in the most incredible way,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: from the resorts, the beauty of the resorts, to then
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: obviously your wishes, needs, wants for the wedding day, leading
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: up to the obvious ceremony. But we'll get to see
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: it a little bit in this episode, but I'd love
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: for anybody listening, as they have not got to watch
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you two say I do yet, how did the two
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of you meet?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Um, we grew up in the same hometown and we
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: went to the same church and we just met through there.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, we had known each other for years before
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: we actually met quote unquote, but, um, we just sat
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: down next to each other one day at church and
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: we hit it off and it was kind of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: history of that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, it's kind of just a crossing paths type thing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: We ran around the same circles, but never conversated even, um,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Until we just sat next to each other one day
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: and probably a meaningless question kind of turned into more conversation.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: And here we are about, what, eight years later?
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Something like that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Eight years later, a few months into Married Life. You know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: this show is interesting for a lot of reasons. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: have seen the episodes. They are incredible and they are
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: beautiful and they're well captured and the stories are amazing throughout.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And you really do get a glimpse of the excitement
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: going into your wedding day. Also the nerves. But this
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: was a new show. It hasn't been on TV yet.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: We're launching it here. Right here on the Almost Famous
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Podcast is the first time really I've talked about it publicly.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: It's a big, I feel like it would be a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: big deal for you two to say yes to it.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: You don't know what you're getting into. This could have
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: been a complete failure. So walk us through the process
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: of saying yes to a show that has never existed
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: with the promise of being a part of your wedding.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Well, we actually were already booking a destination wedding in Cabo.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: So we knew we wanted to get married like destination,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: not in the States. So that part was easy for
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: us to say yes to because we had already made
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: our mind up to that. We were actually working with
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a travel agent and she was like, I had my
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: heart set on a date of December the 31st. I
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: wanted to get married on New Year's Eve, but they
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: don't do weddings on those days. So we.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: In destination places.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: In destination places. So we actually were sent this opportunity
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and she promised us that it was for real.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: So.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: we applied we made a little short like video that
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: was kind of silly and just showed our personalities and
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: they we interviewed and then they called us a couple
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: weeks later and we're like okay is this something that
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you want to do and jace was like oh gosh
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: i don't know yeah it was kind of hard to
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: win him over on it at first because it was
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: so foreign to us like we had no idea if.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: They did a good job of sweetening the pot, though, obviously.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, they come to us like we were getting
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: quotes at the time we applied of like how much
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: it was going to cost for us to get married
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: at a destination versus. And then, you know, obviously the
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: production team, they took care of, you know, pretty much everything.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: So we were we were out of pocket, very minimal.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: And I said, you know, going into a marriage that
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: was very attractive of not having debt.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Like wedding related debt.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: And, uh, so many of that obviously wasn't the only
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: reason we had our, like she said, we had already
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: looked at getting married destination. Um, so at first it
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: was kind of, uh, the only thing that I would
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: say that we maybe were reserved about was like, we're
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: putting a lot of faith into people.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: We've never met or we don't know their body of
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: work or like, you know, like how good is this?
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: How good can it actually be?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: But I think at the end of the day, we
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: just decided, well, We're going to go get married regardless.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: They're going to give us the best product of that
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: because we had seen the weddings that they do at
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: the hotel. So we knew that the wedding itself would
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: be great regardless. And we were like, well, if the
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: show is good, then that's even better. And but our
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: wedding is going to be it is what it is.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, you kind of fell in the proverbial like
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: sword for the show, because from here on out, people
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: are going to be able to see the product. And
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: then say, yeah, that would definitely be something I would
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: want to be a part of. We're obviously here to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: highlight the two of you and your incredible love story,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but also talk about why, really just talk about your
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: experience on this show. So now that you went through it,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: but you did get married and you said, I do.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: There's no big twist there at the end. What would
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you tell any couple that's interested in Destination Wedding and
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: possibly considering being a part of I Do?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I think that the biggest thing that you have to
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: be OK with is just putting all of the planning
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: in somebody else's hands.
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Like you have to.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Be OK with completely being hands off, which was kind
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: of what I wanted to do anyway. So that wasn't
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: a hard thing for me. But like in like I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: feel like it was and people will see in the
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: show is you don't see it come to life at all.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Like it's not there the night before. And then it's like, bam,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: you wake up the next morning and it's there. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: so just trusting the process of the whole thing.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: And I feel like throughout the whole process too, is
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: like trust was a big factor because there was a
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: lot of times where we thought that things weren't going
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: to turn out the way that we wanted or maybe
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: demanded them to turn out. And like, we're like, either
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: y'all are going to figure it out. We got to
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: figure it out somehow. But, but like at the same time,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: you know, in retrospect, there was some kind of like
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: curtain of production that, All they were trying to do
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: was surprise us because they wanted good TV. It took
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: a lot of trust from the time that we said, yes,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: we're going to be on the show until the day
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: she said that we woke up and we're getting married today.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of times where we were.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: I know Savannah especially was a little overwhelmed with, is
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: this really going to.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Turn out how.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: We wanted it to.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: And obviously, I mean, when people see the show at
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: the end, it did turn out how we wanted it to.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: But would you recommend somebody going on it?
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: It was like one of the most fun experiences that
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: we've I've ever had.
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know. I mean, in retrospect, yes, 100 percent.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: But like I would just I would just caution that
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: if you have anxiety, you probably shouldn't do it. because
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: like I said there were some times where we were
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: really I mean like I kept telling Savannah and I
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: think there's clips of it in the show I just
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: said like just trust that it's going to get done
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: stop worrying control what you can control either way we're
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: getting married and she was all worked up and at
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: the end it was like you're worked up for nothing
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: it turned out to be everything you wanted it to
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: be but yeah I would recommend it to somebody.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Else yeah Jason I mean getting to be around you
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: for a few days you do have like the beer taste.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Like you're, you just want to hang out and have
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a beer where Savannah has more like the champagne kind
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: of expectations of, Hey, there's a lot of things here.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I want this to look like, be like, and I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: think with a show like this, that would add stress.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: But I would imagine Savannah, the stress fell on you
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: more than Jace because Jace and his buddies just wanted
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to have a good time. Like they didn't want much
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: more than hang out by the pool, float around for
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: a bit and get married to his dream girl.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, for sure.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: When people watch this, obviously one of the big reasons
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: this can even exist is that people will tune in
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to learn about what a destination wedding is like, the
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: expectations of a destination wedding. Why would you tell people
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: to watch the show? You were a part of the film.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: You have an idea of what this is going to
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: look like. what this was like, why would a viewer say,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I'm going to spend, you know, 30 minutes to an
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: hour of my day tuning into this specific show?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Well, no, I think just to see it unfold, I guess,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: like we talk about it and we have the experience,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: like all of our friends and family have the experience.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: And we've just kind of told everybody like, oh, it
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: was an awesome experience. We got to do X, Y,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: and Z during the show and during the week while
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: we were there, but the wedding was awesome and all
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: the things.
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: And we had a very small wedding.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: Like there were not a lot of people there.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: So I think just telling, like giving them something like
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: that they can see of how much fun and how much,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: like how genuine our experience was there.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: No, I think like, I mean, she says our wedding
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: was small, but in terms of destination weddings, it was
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: actually kind of large in my opinion. So, I mean,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: like there's kind of a stigma around destination weddings that
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: it's just like you and your wife and maybe like
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: one or two other people. Um, but also it's like, uh,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: just seeing like, there was some, like I was in
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: the wedding obviously.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: And so it was Savannah and there's so much stuff.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: That happened on the day of the wedding that we
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: were like, we didn't really even have any idea was
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: going to be a thing until the day of the wedding.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: And so I feel like a lot of people don't.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Know what goes into destination weddings. And like, there's a
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: lot of surprises that you would have been like, man,
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: I would have never thought about that. And we said
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: the same thing, like after the wedding was over, we're
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: in honeymoon phase, like we're recapping everything that just happened.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: And we both like could come up with things that
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: were like, I didn't know that they were going to
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: do that. Or I didn't know that that was a
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: thing that people thought of whenever you do a destination
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: wedding or whatever, you know, like it felt like we
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: were at a stateside wedding. just like 1500 miles from home.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: It was really, really crazy because I was expecting it
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: to miss aspects that normally you would have, but that
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: wasn't the case.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It's one of the best weddings I'd ever seen done
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: from the ceremony to the after party to even the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: rehearsal dinner. You know, for me, I think people are
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: going to want to watch too. My wife has watched
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: both episodes with me and she obviously wasn't around for
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the filming. And she's like, I want to watch this
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: show one, for, as you said, Savannah, like the details,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: seeing all that goes into what a resort has to do,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: what a bride and groom wants in a wedding, how
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the resort speeds things up and functions leading up to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the big day. But then also I think it's really
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: cool because you get to see these resorts. So if
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: anybody's ever interested in getting married and At the Paradisus
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Palma Real in the Dominican Republic, they can see that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: But you get to see your story. And I think
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: that's the big reason here is you get to see
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: a love story coming to a climax during the ceremony
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and seeing the groom's face when the bride walks down
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the aisle. I do think the capturing of all these
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: little details make it something that most people say, I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: want to watch. If for no other reason, because it's
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: happy television, it's something that brings joy to our household
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: because we get to see a love story take place.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure. I think like, if you look at
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: traditional TV, you just hit it on the head.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Like a lot of it's very negative or drama oriented
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: and you don't get too many, too much like feel
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: good TV stuff anymore. I would definitely say that this
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: is going to fall in the, I mean, cause I
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: don't think there was a bad time had, and I
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: think you won't see anything with people smiling the whole
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: time in terms of, I can only speak on our experience,
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: but yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I don't want to give up too much of the show. Uh,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: but obviously I do. I'm excited about this show. I
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: think it's a big deal. I think it's beautiful television.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I do think it's happy television. I think there's a
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: lot of Cool, intricate details that will be shown that
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: you never really get to see before. It's part of
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: my job while I'm there to make sure it's capturing
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: what the resort is doing in the kitchen behind the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: scenes that's then being delivered to you and your guests
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: on a table and how all that works out and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the timing of it all and the stress that you
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: guys don't ever see that's happening with the resort planning staff.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: That resort was so good to you guys. I do
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: think that. I think there's a lot of surprises that
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: will be shown in this show that you two know
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: about that the resort really made happen to make sure
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: that this was the perfect moment for you. As we
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: close up here, the one thing we don't get to
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: see on this show is the after party, or let
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: me call it the honeymoon. How was your honeymoon? I'm
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: guessing you stayed at the resort and the guests started
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: to leave. Tell us about those few days.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: It was kind of funny.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: The first day, like when everybody left, we were like,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: kind of sad, like not in a bad way, but
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: we were like, it's literally over. You anticipate this day
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: for so long. And I don't think people talk about
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: it enough. It's like all of your friends and family
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: are leaving. And you're like, now it's just the two
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: of us, which is fine. And We got, we had fun,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: but it was just kind of a weird feeling after
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: when it was like, we've anticipated this day for so
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: long and now it's just over and it felt like
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: it was like gone like that. But we had a
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: blast after we were, we hung out by the pool.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I feel like we didn't get to do that much
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: before the wedding. So we hung out by the pool.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: We just, we had a good time. We got massages.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: We just enjoyed being around each other and kind of like,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: almost debriefed from the wedding planning stage of our life.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: And like, now we're moving into, okay, we're headed home
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: and back to reality. Now as a married couple, Savannah
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: was calling it the post wedding blues. She said that
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: we woke up the next morning and all of our
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: friends were saying bye and headed back home. And it's like,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: she said, it's like, we've spent the better part of
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: six months.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Like every, we were, we devoted two to three hours
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: a day worth of, you know, planning, et cetera, to
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: this moment. And it's gone.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: But once we got over that, we were having a
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: great time. But it was very, at first, bittersweet, but
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: then it was all sweet.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I got to give a little credit to the production
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: company and the resort because, yes, there's a lot that
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: goes into making a television show. But I think what
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: you're saying is even in the midst of the responsibilities
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: of filming different activities and conversations and different parts of
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the planning process, you still had a great time leading
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: up to the big day. And I think that is
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a credit to the resort one and also the production
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: company who tried to do what they could to stay
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: out of your way, but also just let you guys
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: do your thing with your friends and capture it as
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: it went. I think that is a really fine balance
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: where it could have become too much and frustrating and,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: You're like, hey, I haven't seen my family since I
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: got here because I've been in a hotel room doing interviews.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: So I do think there is a huge credit that
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: should be given to the people that made this show.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Because I think especially with the two of you and
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: your friends, you guys had a great time. You– You
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: closed down that resort most evenings in the best of ways.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we did.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: We had a great time and they did really a
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: great job. And we also talked about how we didn't
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: notice anybody else but our people that were around, like
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: the people that traveled with us. It felt like almost
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: we were there on our own, like.
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: Nobody else was there.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: So the resort production, everybody did a great job with
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: that too, because it felt like It was just us
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: with our people. Like we were the only people there
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: and nobody else was there. Nobody else was ruining what
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: we were doing.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Well, next up, I get to talk to Mackenzie and Josh,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: who got married in Cancun right before you all. Rough
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: job I have. I went from Cancun to the Dominican
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: to two separate weddings. It was pretty great. Be sure
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: to check out I Do on Journey TV. It's out now.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I get to be the host of this. I get
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: to hang out with some incredible couples like Savannah and
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Jace here who agreed to get married on this incredible
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: TV show that I think will be an enjoyable experience
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: for all who tune in. Again, it's out now. It's
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: on Journey TV. It's called I Do. Savannah and Jace,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I wish you nothing but joy and happiness in your
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: married life. Thank you for doing the show. Thanks for
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: participating in it with me. We were all new to
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: it and you guys made it easier. So I appreciate
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: you both and have a great, great rest of your day.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: You too.
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: Hey, stranger.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's McKenzie and Josh. got married on episode one
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: of i do in cancun how are you all oh good.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: He's getting used to captivity.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I've been instructed to agree.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Are you guys enjoying married life? I just caught up
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: with you on social media the other day. I saw
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: that you've been cooking like breakfast or a casserole. So
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: you're keeping Josh fed.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Yes. It's a full-time job for her, but yes.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: It is a full-time job.
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: My mom bought us some casserole dishes, so I figured
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: why not?
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: We'll give it a shot.
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: So last night we had hamburger casserole, and I think
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: it tastes like In-N-Out in a casserole form.
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: Josh agrees.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Married life so far, how is it going, though? Are
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: you guys enjoying it?
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's going great.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: It's been really hectic, just lots of stuff going on,
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: but the time we do get to spend together has
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: been just– unbelievable.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: The 20 minutes before bed is the time we spend
• 20:43
  Speaker 9: together right now.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: So you're learning, like you guys entered into marriage and
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: then life picked up speed and now you're figuring out
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: how to not be two ships crossing in the night
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and actually slow down a bit. It's not easy to
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: figure out.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: It's been a, it's been a journey for sure, but
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: we're figuring out how to navigate it. Um, I mean, we're, we've, Our.
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: Whole relationship was long distance with short little bursts of
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: we got to cram in as much as we can.
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: So we've figured out how to be effective with the
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: time that we do get to spend together.
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, not much has changed.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: You know, this whole I do show is such a
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: wild thing to agree to. I just got done talking
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to Savannah and Jace. You're the only two couples that
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: we've had and we're picking up steam and starting again
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: here very quickly. But you both said yes to it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: And I am curious how you agreed to say yes,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: knowing that you were going to be the very first episode,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: very first time this show was ever done, that you
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: would give up your wedding day so that the world
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: could possibly watch it on television. It has to feel
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: like a big deal. At least it does to me.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: What went into the decision to say yes?
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: I think we both were like, eh, why not?
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: If it sucks, it sucks. And we'll have something to
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: talk about.
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: And if it's awesome, then we'll have something to talk about.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: At the end of the day, there's no negative thing
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: that could really come from it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 10: I think one way or the other, we thought it'll
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: be memorable, whether good or bad. And we'll get to
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: spend it with family and friends. And that's kind of
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: what was important to us.
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: So- It's done. I've seen it. Was it worth it?
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: It was definitely worth it.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: That's going to be the big thing as we continue on.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: And until the show is out there, I think it
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: is a big risk for somebody to say yes to it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: They don't know what it's going to be like. They
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: don't know if it's going to be chaos, if it's
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: going to be distracting. So I would love for the
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: two of you to tell anybody that's interested that what
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: the experience was like filming this show.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: Well, we actually had a phone call with your next couple.
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: They had some questions for us too and asking if
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: it was worth it. And we told them a hundred percent.
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: I mean, why, why wouldn't.
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: You take the opportunity?
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: It is a door that's opening that is very odd
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: and is probably not going to ever happen again. So,
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: and yeah, to just, do it and enjoy the time
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: that you get with family at no cost to you.
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: So really there's no risk in, in at all. So.
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah. And one thing that was pretty cool and big
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: for us was that it's, it's a destination wedding.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: So you get more than just a four.
• 23:46
  Speaker 10: Hour block to try and like say hello and goodbye
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: to people in 30 seconds.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: And we were able to just.
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: Actually like hang out by the pool and have some
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: dinner and, you know, kind of do things that are
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: more than just like, hello, how's it going?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Goodbye.
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: So it was really nice to be able to elongate
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: that whole wedding journey over a few days rather.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Than cram it into a few hours.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: One of the things we've talked about kind of behind
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the scenes is, hey, if this show is going to
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: be successful, I do think they're fantastic to watch. I
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: was just talking about my wife got to watch them
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: with me and she was like, this is a good show. Like,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the details of the wedding process, the desires of the
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: bride and groom, the family dynamics coming together. But then
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: also with the conclusion, which is, you know, two people
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: getting married and the happiness that comes from obviously that
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: commitment and the love that they found. This is a
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: great show, but behind the scenes we were talking, it's
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: only going to be successful if the couples have a
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: good experience for one. and they can leave it saying, hey,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed this. You're not watching some trauma dump on television.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: This was actually really good for us. Can you speak
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: to kind of what it felt like? I guess the
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: better question is, did it feel like your wedding? Did
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: it actually feel like the thing you had dreamed of?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Or did it feel like you were making a TV
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: show the whole time?
• 25:15
  Speaker 10: I think I went into it with very open expectations.
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: just because it is a very unconventional wedding. But that
• 25:24
  Speaker 10: being said, it was, it was, in my opinion, it
• 25:28
  Speaker 10: was a great experience. I've had a few people that
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: have asked, you know, would you do it again? And
• 25:32
  Speaker 10: each time the answer has been yes. Just kind of
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: going back to what we said before of, you know,
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: the experiences we got to have with family, friends, and,
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: and I think a big thing for us too, was
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: the team that was working on it kind of took
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: a lot of weight off our shoulders as far as, um,
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: you know, the hotel staff and whatever we.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Needed, they were on it. And so that was, I
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: think pretty huge to relieve some of that stress.
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: I think we went into it, like you said, with
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: little to no expectations, we didn't have anyone that we
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: could lean on or talk to about what the experience
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: is going to be like.
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: So I know after day one, we were pretty, Like, oh.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: No, this is a lot of filming and this is.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: Energetically draining.
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: But then we still woke up each morning really excited
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: for the next film session. And we're the guinea pigs, right?
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: So the kinks got worked out as we were going
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: through it. And it did feel like our wedding. I mean,
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: granted it was unconventional, but it still felt like we
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: were getting married.
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: And preparing for it.
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: And I remember that five minutes, waiting, peeking my head
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: around the corner when everyone was walking down the aisle
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: and I'm standing in the back waiting there. Like that,
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: that felt real.
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: Cause it was.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: It's very real.
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: I think we both talked about it too. Like, I don't,
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: I think if we broke eye contact, it was to
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: look at Dustin and then look back at each other.
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: I don't, I didn't notice cameras or microphones or anything.
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: And they were very like fly on the wall, like.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: They had said.
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: So that was, that was actually really nice to, to
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: be able to just be in the moment and not
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: be worried about what's.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Going on around.
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: It is kind of wild how after day one, you
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: forget the cameras are there, even though they're right in
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: your face.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: It happens every time. It gets dangerous because you start
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: to get too comfortable. You don't know what you're going
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: to do that could be shown.
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: When I get sneaky with my mother.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Your mom is a big character in the show, obviously.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: And it's so fun to watch your families come together.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: One of the big storylines is that your families really
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: hadn't met in the time that you had been together.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: And one of the reasons for that is because of
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: the way you met is shown on the show. But
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: I think it's a good reason why somebody would want
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: to tune into your episode specifically. is you two met,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: and then Josh, you got deployed for nine months.
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: I believe.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: So you met, knew you liked each other, and then
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: you had to leave, which makes a really incredible love
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: story because you stuck it out together.
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it was early March, met for two days in
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: the middle of April, and then I left in May.
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: So it was a lot of like, what are we
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: doing right now? This is crazy, but... Let's see what
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: happens and ride it out.
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: Probably more so on my part.
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: That whole nine months, I was like, oh my gosh,
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: why would I do this?
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Well, it's really special for the two of you then
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: to be able to share that with us on TV.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: So you stuck it out. You get married on television.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Nothing about your relationship has been conventional, but why would
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: you want it to be? You want to keep it
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: exciting and new and try new things. Speaking of exciting
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: and new, we don't get to really watch the follow-up.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: from these episodes. So we don't know what you did
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: for your honeymoon, if anything yet. Have you gone on
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: a honeymoon?
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: Did we go on a honeymoon?
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Not really, no.
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: We're still living in it. We're in a constant state
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: of honeymoon.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: That's sweet.
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: We're trying to figure that out. I had the home.
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: That I designed for Showcase of Homes went on display
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: last weekend, the last two weekends. So that was a
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: really big deal. As soon as we got back, it
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: was go, go, go, get get ready for that, which
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: has been a huge success for my business. So now
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: I think I can finally breathe. But there's been a
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: huge influx of new contracts flowing in. So breathing, not necessary,
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: I guess, until babies come.
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: So I think the plan for a honeymoon is like
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: a one-year anniversary honeymoon combo type of thing.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be sweet. So obviously, Kenzie, you're an interior designer. Josh,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: you're doing fitness work. But your businesses, you get married,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: you come together as a team, and they both sound
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: like they've taken off in the last few months.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: He's my muscle to help move all the furniture and
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: decor items around from location to location. Yeah. But your
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: business is doing good. His app that he's developing is
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: hopefully going to be released within the next year.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: So that's the plan.
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: He's just been sitting on the computer all day when
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: he's not training. He is just nerding out, making it happen.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: This is a good platform to be able to talk
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: about the stuff that you're promoting. And so you're both
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: in the Utah area. Kinsey, your business name is?
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: Got really creative three years ago when I made the name.
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: It's McKenzie Seagren Interior Design. So hopefully a rebrand will
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: be happening soon and changing to McKenzie Wiles.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Good point. She's already thrown around new logos and coming
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: up with stuff.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: And Josh, your app, you're hoping comes out next year.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: You don't know exactly yet.
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: I mean, there's, you know, there's... lots of testing and
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: figuring out bugs and everything. But the plan is that
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: it will come out sometime next year, hopefully middle to
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: late next year.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: My final question for the two of you, obviously you
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: haven't seen the episode, so it's a little unfair for
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: me to even ask this, but you have an idea.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: You were part of it. There's no crazy surprises. Let
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: me tell you that. It's a lot of capturing the
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: moments that you guys had with your family and together
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: and the things that you got to do. For anybody
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: that's sitting out there listening to this, why would they
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: want to watch I Do in Destination on Journey TV?
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: I don't watch a whole lot of reality TV, to
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: be honest, but I don't really know of any other
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: shows that are about destination weddings and just like essentially
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: pulling someone off the street and like, hey, let's do
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: this thing now. And I think the fact that they're
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: in different locations is pretty cool. It's not just rinse
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: and repeat of the same place. So you're going to
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: get a different kind of vibe from each episode.
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: I think people would.
• 32:24
  Speaker 9: Want to tune into our episode to see how our
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: families who have never met come together and.
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: See what happens.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: There's some big, I mean, your mom's a big personality, Kinsey.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Like she is.
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: She's really thrilled about that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: I'll tell you.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: She has some good one-liners. She is, it's obviously very
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: beautiful to see your relationship together. But then also just
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: like leading up to meeting your now husband's family and
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: what that's going to be like and the nerves of that.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: I remember those days, goodness gracious. Like My parents aren't
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: as maybe big of personalities as your mom, but I
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: was nervous for the in-laws to meet. Like, how is
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: this going to go? Are they going to see eye
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: to eye? What's going to be said that maybe throws
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: somebody off or not said? So it's fun to be
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: able to watch that too during your episode is that
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: first interaction between families and how it goes down.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: I'm excited to see some Bobbo liners in there.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: There's a moment during your episode that I did tear up.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: It's very beautiful. I'll leave that for the viewers to
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: be able to watch on their own and guess when
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: it happened. But there are some really incredible moments that
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: are heartfelt. And I felt privileged even being the host
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: of the show, have the privilege of watching it back
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: on television, like having access to those moments. Now, I
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: guess I lied. That wasn't my final question. One of
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: the big things is, yes, this is also my show
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: with iHeart that we're on right now, along with my
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: wonderful co-host, Ashley, who is not with us currently because
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: she's up to other things. But did you have any
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: idea who I was going into this show? Or were
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: you like this random host who's also been on reality television?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: It could potentially ruin my wedding day.
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: I am not a reality TV watcher. So I did
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: not know who you were until obviously we started Googling
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: who you were and then mentioning it to friends and family.
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: And by the way, Micah's girlfriend, soon to be fiance
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: Taylor says, hello. Yeah.
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: I don't think you knew.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: Either, but we were like, okay, cool.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: I grew up in LA and in the.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: The TV show scene. So, um, I know you're just
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: a normal dude that was on TV. So I think
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: that was my expectation.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: One of my hopes with this is like, I am, um,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: more involved than I thought I was going to be, honestly,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: when I agreed to host this with, you know, coordinating and, uh,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much help I am actually, but
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I'm making sure things are being done or getting to
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: do the interviews with the chefs behind the scenes or
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: the wedding planners behind the scenes and saying, okay, I
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: know Kinsey's brought this up to me. Is this being
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: talked about? Are you guys even working on this? One
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: of my hopes is as the show continues that I
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: am a place of comfort. Remember me on The Bachelor
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: or not. that this is a job I take seriously
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: because it is a wedding for crying out loud. Like
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: you have to do this. Well, I don't want to
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: be a part of a show where every time I leave,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, we ruined their day. I do think
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: this is done so well. I think it's a beautiful show.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I think you're going to love having it captured in
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: the way that it is captured. The resort looks beautiful.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: The team at the resort do such an amazing job
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: for the two of you. Some stuff that you've probably
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: not even realized have happened yet. And then we get
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: to watch two of you say I do at the
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: conclusion of the episode. Mackenzie and Josh, we wish you
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: the best. Thank you for saying yes to doing this.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy that I got to be a part

  Speaker 2: of it. And I'm very happy to be able to
