• 1:19
  Speaker 2: she's using for her office. That's the largest room, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: we started thinking, okay, we could fit a king sized
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: bed in here. We need to put up some shades
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and things like that. So she's figuring that out and

  Speaker 3: tiny room with a you know, it's a full sized bed,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: and so now I've got to get you know, king
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: sized bed, go back into that room and make it
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: and make and get shades to make it, you know,

• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Rest Black. Oh, so comfortable okay, and they're pretty expensive, Okay,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: but I feel like you need to invest in a

  Speaker 1: Jen goes, did you just call her a bitch? I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was like, no, why would I have called her a bit?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: She's like that bitch, you know. And so from now on,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: like we just it's like a term of endearment between us.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You like that she's pretty social, she's pretty amazing.

  Speaker 1: with your granddaughter. I can't remember which one, but we
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: had so much We were on the dance floor and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: we were singing to each other. It was just it
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was so much fun. Did you have a great time

  Speaker 1: on the dance floor?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh my god, yeah, Gary can tell you yes,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: it was. It was like NonStop dancing. And then every
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: single time I tried to go stop just to get
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a breath. Then some young thirty year olds are going, okay, okay,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna die on the dance floor. But it
• 5:43

• 5:53
  Speaker 3: do this dance that we choreographed, but we never did it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: We were we were afraid we weren't going to pull
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: it off. It would have been it would have been
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: funny if we did it wrong too, you know, like
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: that would have been just as funny that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: If no one would have known as a dancer, you
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: just you just continue to go, you know, you just
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: go and you just dance and no one knows. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: love that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Gary.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Is that your thing? Like at weddings? Would you be
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: on the dance floor normally? Or is this Teresa's thing?
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: So Teresa has influenced me to do it more. But
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: it's not like I would shy away from it completely. Yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: it's just nice to have a confident and totally.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Difference, just a big difference.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I think you're so.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: We did do Islands in the Stream. That wasn't so bad?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: That wasn't I thought we did at that? Yeah?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: That that song?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I love it?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: No, that band was so good? Tell me the story,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: didn't MINDY tell you?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, I don't.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you don't know who they are,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: but you.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: No, I do. It was okay. So they were proposing
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: a different band and she said, oh no, no, not
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: good enough, and she got the band that was Can
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I tell you it was justin Bieber's band for his daddy.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I heard that JB Projects, which you would have thought
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: was justin Bieber Projects, But it wasn't and they normally
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: had nine members to the band, but they added three pieces,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: so they had three. And they weren't just musicians, right,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: they were dancers and they got us former yes and okay.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: So I didn't realize. I thought they were the band
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: that maybe like performed at Justin Bieber's wedding. They are like,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: he's like an employer, he's like their agent essentially.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: He is, Oh, no, I don't know that. No, I'm saying, no,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: they were the band that played his wedding. I'm saying,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: you would think because the name is JB, that it
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: might be just In Bieber.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: But they said no, they said, no, that's said the band.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Just I don't know what JB stands for.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I got it, and I got it and know they
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: were they were phenomenal. Like I had the best time
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I don't like for our wedding. I remember being on
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the dance floor until four in the morning because it
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: was just fun, like, yeah, you know, I wanted to celebrate.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah you guys did. That's so great.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: You were there for four in the morning. That's awesome.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It's it's okay. So what was your favorite memory from
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the wedding.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: It was really his daughters and my daughter's speeches. That
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: was my favorite. I mean, besides Gary in our moments,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: but just hearing them. I mean I just bawled my
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: eyes out when I heard what they said. It was
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: so so good and so heartfelt, and I, you know,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: it just made me melt, you know, hearing them and
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: so sincere. And then my daughter and I, you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I didn't put my son on the spot, you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: he just he wouldn't have wanted that, he wouldn't like that.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: But we so so that people know because I think,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: like my mom or something was like, I just I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: don't understand why they didn't have more of the family.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And I was like, no, Mom, they did, like sons spoke,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: but they didn't show it. And I'm sure just because
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: of you know, whatever choice they were making, or because
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it's a telvised event and they can't you know. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: so for all of us who were in the audience
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: or as gets, you got to see the heartfelt, you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: emotions of your son too. Yeah, that was very thank you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, that was I think Rob you're referring
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: to Rob that that was Gary's son in law. Oh,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: y yeah, yeah, and then that he was wonderful, and
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: he said that he practiced that over and over and
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: over and over again, that he did such a great
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: job and he could have done it on camera. And
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: then what they all so didn't see one of my
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: three grandsons who went up to the mic, you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: during the time, and said that that was a surprise
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to me, you know, my daughter all I feel so
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: bad because it was her birthday and we were supposed
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: to have two cakes, like we were having the main
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: cake that Gary picked out, and then I actually put
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: together this other concoction that was raspberry and lemon, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: she said, I really thought you were gonna have a
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: birthday cake for me. Mom, I said, oh, I messed up.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I messed up, Like why didn't I do that? Like,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: oh I should have. Yeah, it's her birthday, daring it,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: but I did it later, so I want to Yeah,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: we did it later.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Oh camera, I'm sure she'll forgive you or she has already.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, okay, Gary.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: What was your favorite moment from the wedding?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Well, even though I had my first look earlier in
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the day doing photos, you did. Yeah, I'll never forget
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: turning around when I know Teresa is in the archway
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and I see her little wedded in white against this,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you know, the darkness of the night, and then watching
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: her slowly come up the aisle. That's the best memory,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you know that, That's just one of those things that
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: you know, it just over and over I play it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, that's so nice. I love that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: HI mean, Gamma.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: And as I was walking down the aisle like thin,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: it was really trying to we were both trying to
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: just live in the moment and not even consider that
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: we were on television. We didn't. I don't think for
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: a second I even thought that. I just felt overwhelmed
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: looking at everybody, and yeah, I think we were able
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: to do that. Yeah, it was good. It was great.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: That's how I felt at my wedding. Even though there
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: were a million cameras around, they did a really good
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: job of like hiding them in the trees. And although
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I do have a funny story, so when the when
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the ceremony ended, we were standing up, you know, ready
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to walk away, and you know that big, huge camera
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that's on like a big yes probably like be tall
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: or whatever, that huge jib or boom or something. It's Yeah,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and your brother who I ended up meeting later, his
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: wife in the green I think she was wearing like
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: green sparkles or something. I noticed them because they I
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: hadn't met them before, and I think I knew that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they were not part of like Bachelor Nation, like they
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: of course say, part of it, but they hadn't been
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: on the show, right, So they were one of your
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: guests and one of your friends or family members. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I'm watching them and they're walking away and they're having
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to like duck under the jib and like walk around
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the camera equipment, and I was like, how awkward for
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: them to Like it's like, how weird is it for
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: them at their friends or their family I found out
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: later was right at their family member's wedding. And I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: thought to myself, Wow, that's probably how people felt at mine,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that it was just awkward. But as a bride, I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: really And maybe it's because the way that we met
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: was with cameras in our face anyway, right.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, maybe that's it. We get so used to it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: I guess we got immune to it. It took me
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: so long to get used to it. I guess, yeah,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: after a while. But like you said, they did a
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: great job of like hiding them.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you feel scarious about the cameras?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: No, I was going to say that spending time with
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: my pickleball friends after I've gotten back home here, they've
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: all had the same stories, but they just knew it
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: was part of the experience and they thought it was
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: pretty fun watching, you know how behind the scenes worked
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: as well as the wedding.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: That's so true. Yeah, okay, so you're pickleball friends, including
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the one that was on my team, and we lost
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that has to be one of my favorite memories. Oh,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you know, I got to play pickleball against Trista, so
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: you know, not how many people get to say that?
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Cutest I get to say I played pickleball with Gary
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: because clearly I should not have been on that court
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that day because the last point it was a freaking game. Point.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Let me and say we saw you. I think I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: was with Blakesley because I stayed with my daughter for
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a couple extra days after the wedding, just for a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: little mother daughter time, and we saw you guys. And
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know if someone was talking about pickleball, but
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, are you gonna play? Can we play,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: let's go.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: No, you're so good. I mean, Gary, you were so good.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: The game was so good. Yeah, right, at the last minute,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: it was heartbreaking. It was so fine.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So Blakely, I walk over there and you guys are
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: all over with your family and and you were like, okay,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: do you want to play? And I'm like, yes, That's
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: why I'm here. I love pickleball or playing, so so
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I asked my daughter, because you know, she's more of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the like, you know, let's just play casually and you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: let's just be cute, like swinging the pickleball rack or
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: so I was like, is it okay if I play
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: with them? Like I felt bad because it was our
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: mother daughter weekend? Can I go play this more serious
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: game of.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Game here?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we play, and for everyone out there, Gary
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: was playing with his granddaughter's boyfriend. Right, I had never played.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Before, never played before, but he's a college baseball player.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: So.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah he was.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: And then one of Gary's pickleball friends who had had
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: surgery recently. Maybe that was your partner?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, are you talking about your PRIs? That's actually Angie's boss.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yes, I knew that. Angie told me that.

  Speaker 2: Yes, and it's you know, Angie's husband, Rob and and
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that guy Brandon were you know, best of friends in
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: college and ever since.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. So we play this game and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: it was so much fun. Like I think in the beginning,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: you guys were killing us, and then we kind of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: came back or something. The last freaking point it's a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: game point, and I was like, oh my gosh, I've
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: got this, like got it. I totally went. But I
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: was so mad at myself that I yeah.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: It was something that you really should have had. You
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: knew you had it, and like such a great game.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: It was fun. So thank you Gary for allowing me
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to play. It was so much fun.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: That's a memory. I hope I get to replay again
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: sometime in the future because that was really a lot
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: of fun. I never stopped across the court. You're still
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: smiling as big as you are right now. Yeah, you
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: almost feel guilty. I didn't want to hit anything hard
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: at you.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, no, I love it. I mean and you,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: holy cow, you did hit some really hard shots and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, I think I was screaming. Did I
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: scream a couple of times?
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I did? It was good. It was so good. It's very.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, it's all good. You can go for it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I think I told you that. The day before we
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: played as a family and I hit a b all
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to Ryan right between I hit him.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: My god, oh my god, so bad.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And I was like, I couldn't have planned that if
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I was done it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Did you have these glasses on?
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: No?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: He didn't, he wasn't protected.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I gotta say that when he puts his glasses on,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: that is such a cool look I would love. I mean,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: that is like distinguished and and it's almost man elegant,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you know. I just love.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: He does look great, Gary, you look really good. And
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: glasses too, Yeah, go put them on. Let's see him.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, I say what Gary's going to be wearing every time?
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Every time? Yeah? I think, do you look good?
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: To see?
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: You get to see I'm going to put my glasses on.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Okay. So if you guys had the option to choose,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: who would you choose as the Golden Bachelorette if they
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: do the show?
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Oh you really want to put us on the spot.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: It's a terrible question, you know, And I feel like
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like, whoever it is, I want to I
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: want to be there. Yeah, I mean, there's so many
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: reasons why so many of them would be so good.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I can't. You know, I'm friends with all these girls.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Very maybe could answer the question, so I can't.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I want to get somebody brand new because there were
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: so many of the women out of my season that
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: could do it, and I think it would be a
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: slight to several of them if one of them were chosen.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: And I just love it if they started the process
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: right from scratch like they did with me and find
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: someone brand new, and I think that would make it,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: that would keep it fresh and interesting.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So I have always said that, and I feel like
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I might have shared this with you that I've always
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: said I wanted them to pluck someone out of obscurity
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that we all could fall in love with at the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: same time. And it was perfect for what they did
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: for Golden. I thought it was amazing. But yeah, yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I've always loved that thought like that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, I'm just anxious to see who the men are.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, they had such a hard time finding Gary,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: because yeah, are they are they going to find I?
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it seems, you know, to find somebody
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: so good it takes a lot, and so now you
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: have to find twenty two or twenty five. I don't
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: know how they're going to pick men. And and they've
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: lowered the age range I think so. I mean, I
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: thought I saw fifty five? Was that what I saw?
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I think I saw that.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: How old was the youngest on yours? Gary?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: It was sixty? I think I think Faith was one
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: of the youngest. And I remember who else?
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: It seems to me that there were seven sixty year
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: olds on this Oh wow, there was seven. Yeah, that's
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: why I made that statement. I have to compete against
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: sixty year old Like who says that only seven year old?
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: That's that? Like only somebody who's really old? Tough?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, So how was it from both of your perspectives?
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I'll start with Gary, to have some of your exes
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: because I can I can relate to it. At your wedding, Like,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: as you're standing there looking out at your beautiful bride,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you probably caught one or two of your
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: exes and then another one is standing there performing the ceremony.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: How how did that feel?
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie, that was freaking weird. It's that right.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: For some reason, I seemed to be able to pick
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: out those faces in the crowd much more easily than
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: any of the Fortunately, you know, I've really kept good
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: friendships with you know, pretty much all of those women,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: so it wasn't as awkward as it could have been.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I think over time, Leslie and I have
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: more and more patched things up and were able to
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: hug and you know say, Okay, what has happened is
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: in the past and so forth. But you know, like
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: with some of the other women, I mean, I'm really
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: friendly still with Faith and with Joan and some of
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the others, and we have conversations and stuff, and it
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: really kind of furthers the atmosphere and the culture from
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: the show, where we were all supportive and helped each
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: other and poded for each other. Y.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't feel like it took away at all
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: from from you know, if it would have been if
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: you guys had met, you know, not on television, right
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and you didn't have any access. You don't feel like
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: it took away from what your wedding would have been, right, Okay.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: No, not no, not at all. I think it actually
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: added you know, again, everybody supported each other.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: The same way Yeah, there's so much warmth and camaraderie
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: amongst us that had just added to the really to
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: how warm the ceremony was, which is what we wanted,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: all people who were there with good hearts and good intentions. Yeah,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: we just we actually wanted all the women there though,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: you know, but it was did you Yeah, we did,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: we did. Yeah.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Who wasn't there?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Oh? If I name the names, I think only six
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: women weren't there. I don't off the top of my
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: head to say who wasn't there? There was think of it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: There was Christina wasn't Christina wasn't there? And and Patty
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: and Peggy and Maria? Right, yeah, is that about it?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: There was six? I think who weren't there?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: So?
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And how did you feel, Teresa? Because I know
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: we interviewed Leslie for the podcast. She said that gave
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: her a phone call beforehand.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, yes, that's what happened. So I was
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: asked specifically, would I mind if she went? And I said,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: of course not. I said exactly, I want all the
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: women to be there. And then I was on the
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: phone with Edith and I got off the phone. I said,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: so did you invite her yet? And I was told no,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: and they said, oh, so did you change your mind?
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: I said no, I want to invite her. So heah,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: we were really good friends. I love her. That's when
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: she's yeah, yeah. We were loved and supported each other
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: throughout the whole thing. So it's just it's a crazy
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: thing that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: It's just crazy, you know what it is crazy. So
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: another crazy thing that I think people not got up
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: in arms not the right term. But Ben and I
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the morning after we did, but we did a bunch
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: of podcasts and he said that his wife Jess had
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: texted him during the ceremony and said, Brandon and Brandon
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: proposed during you know, the cocktail party, and she was
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: like that's weird and or I don't know how she
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: said it, but she was like is that appropriate? And
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: my response so when I got asked to so you know,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: kind of what I saw is one of the producers said,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: do you want to be like you do you want
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to see something that's going to be really exciting? He
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: was like, sure, you know what is it? And finally
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: she told us that he was going to propose. And
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I actually got goosebumps because I just I love love
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: like I am huge fan of love and anyone who's
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: going to like show their love, I'm all for and so.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: And then afterwards people were like, that was strange. Have
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: you ever been to a wedding or someone proposed to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: somebody you're not supposed to steal, you know, the bride
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and groom's limelight. But I was like, I don't feel
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: like they probably felt that way, but you guys correct
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. How did you feel about Braiden
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: and Christina getting engaged?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: We got a phone call. I got a phone call
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: from Brayden and he's asked me if it was okay,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: and I go, you know, Braiden, you know, and I've
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: gotten to like that guy a lot. I mean, I
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: think he's just the super guy and I would have
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: gone a long way for his behalf. But anyway, I said,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with it, but let me call Teresa. I'll
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: call you back in five minutes. Yeah. I called her,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: asked her, and her response to me was just as
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: positive as my own. So yeah, there. I've heard people say,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: you know, Jesus like stealing someone's thunder, but I don't
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: think it is. It's like adding to the event. Yeah,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: if they want to compare and say, Jesus, that's not
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: something appropriate. That's never done. Well, okay, it's never done
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: when somebody you know gets married after three months of
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: a TV show either. So you know it all together,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: yeah right, novel parts of it all together. So it
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: was perfectly fine.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But Garry called me and I was on the bed,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: on my bed practicing my vows with my daughter and
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Henry all and and I had him on speaker, no,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: did I? And I said yes, yes, yes, because I'm
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: like you, I love love, and it just added. First
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: of all, they didn't interfere with our ceremony. That didn't
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: eat it's all good. If it's all good, positive stuff,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: do it like they didn't do any thing. Yeah, it
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: wasn't it was a negative thing if they're gonna do Yeah,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: So it was all good. We're all happy about it.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: It's wonderful good.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that you felt like it didn't take away
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: from your big day, because I know that some people
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: are like you know, I you know, got the it
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: kind of.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I was like they weren't even here yet. It wasn't
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: the ceremony like we were just it was cocktail party
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: where people were just having a drink before we went
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to sit down to watch your Beautiful Valves and and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel like that, but you know, you never
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: know because I'm not in your shoes, so I don't
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: know if you felt that way. Have you guys watched
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: it back?
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Good question? Yes, yes, yes, you want to talk, Gary,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, go.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: It's quite an interesting experience to watch your own wedding.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Back national television. Yeah, yes, I.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Mean, I think it was one of the evenings that
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: you know, last week, and I was in New Jersey
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: and we sat down on the sofa after dinner and
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: we should decided, okay, we're going to watch it through.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: And the fun part is both of us would have
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: questions or thoughts and and you know the program that
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: is two hours in length on TV. Actually it was
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: like three hours by the time we got done pausing
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: and talking.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I love it it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Really, it was a lot of fun. It was a
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: neat experience for us to kind of share that again,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: because so much of it we weren't aware of. We
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: didn't see everything that was going on. And I really
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: enjoyed picking out friends right family in the crowd and
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: watching what they were doing and their reactions to things
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: and so forth. It was it was a hoot.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Wa It's one one thing that you didn't realize that
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: happened that you didn't see in person that was really
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: fun for you to watch when you watched it back.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: For me, you you want to say either or yeah. Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: So for me, it was watching Happy and Charity handle
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: themselves so well with everybody and make it seem like
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: it almost felt like it was an award show. It
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: was exciting and fun, and like Gary said, watching and
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: watching all the people walking by, I'd say, oh, let's
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: rewind that, like it was in there look at So, yeah,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: they did a really great time.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what I was going to say to
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: the appearance of it being like a red carpet event
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: where you know, people would walk through and you would
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: see familiar faces and people that you knew and and
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: all of that. It's just like, it's such an awesome
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: experience to see.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's a really great thing that you have
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: for the future. You have a television network recording your wedding,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: which is in high definition and the best of the best,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: so amazing. Yeah, I would love to hear or I'm
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: just curious because I told you this story on the
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: pickleball court, but about when you were watching it back
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and Ryan turned to me and said what he said?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Did you guys like see that and think what did
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: he just say to her?
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Or yes, what did he say?
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I know what he said.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I replayed it and replayed it trying to lip read,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: and I couldn't I know that I.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Told you on the pickle ball court. It was a
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: tons of drama. So this woman on Twitter or x
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: or whatever it's called, decided to try to lip read
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: and she thought that. Ryan said, you so, Gary, it
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: was during your vows and you said to Teresa, I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: want to make you the happiest woman on in the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: world or on the planet or what you know, whatever
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you said, which was so lovely by the way, And
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Ryan turned to me and the lady guessed that he said,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: that's never going to happen the wedding that were there
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: for you guys, So what he actually said was the
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: second second happiest. Yes, first of all, he would never
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: say that, and second of all, but I didn't know
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: if when you watched it back, if you saw that
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: he had said something and you were like, what did
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: he say? And if you kind of did the liperating
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: thing too.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what, I wouldn't have known except that
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: we were on the pick a ball court and yeah,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: and that's crazy. People come up with the craziest things,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Like in a million years, the two nicest people are
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: going to say something really mean like that now, and
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: that was really nice that he said that to you.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: What a nice thing to say. I was like, yeah,
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: it was so nice.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: You can stick around, Yeah, you can say.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Is there anything that you regret about the televised like
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: kind of televised part of it.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I kind of regret that people weren't able to see
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: more of the reception. Yeah, how much of a celebration
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: it was, because yeah, the ceremony is very blessed and
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: it's solemn, and you know, it emotes different emotions than
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: if you see what kind of celebration there was in
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: the reception. So I wish that could have been seen.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you, Yeah, you're right, or even
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: more of what happened outside, But you I would have
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: loved for them to have seen the reception. It was
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: so good.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: It was so good, like just so good.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, It couldn't have been better.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: It couldn't have been better. I mean, really, truly, it
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: was amazing. But I didn't get to try the cake.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: So maybe that's how I was.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I was just going to say, except I didn't get
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: a birthday cake from my daughter, That's what could.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I had one bite of that cake all day. I mean,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I love sweets, anything sweet, I love it. And I
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: had like one bite of that cake and we went
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: out dancing. The cake was at my you know, table setting,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: and I took a bite. We went out dancing, and
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I came back and it had already been cleared.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: So wait, did you guys you know how there's a
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: tradition that you take the like like part of the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: cake and put it in the freezer. Did you guys
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: No, because it would have been all that impossible to
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: get it from Palm Beach, Yeah, right, either of our houses.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe you just have to reach out to the cake
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: company and have them make you another one next.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Oh that's a good idea.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: We sh'll do that, Will say, yeah.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: All right, yes she would.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: A little tidbit. I don't think we actually did that.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think that we I don't think we had.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think we did that because same same sound.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: We got married in Palm Springs too, and we were,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: you know, flying home. Did you do the whole something borrowed,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: something blue?
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: I did?
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Did what we're doing.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I had blue underwear?
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: You did, Oh, Jurie, did you know this until?
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Like? No, I didn't. By the time I got closed
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: from my suite and went to the suite where she was,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: she was sound asleep, she was under the covers.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, something old and something well borrowed. Was
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: the dress actually something old? Yeah? Okay, once I was
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: old and something new was my my wedding man, right, what.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Was something old?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: The probably I brought?
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: Now, you didn't get a new bra from the like lager,
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: I don't think.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Oh no, they didn't. There were no braths there. They
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: weren't covering up. They were giving you much more scantily
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: clad thing at the photo shoot.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Did you like that?
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Sho ohh wait a minute, that's you.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that up, because you know there
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: is a part of it that I've objected to, you know,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: with guys when we have a bachelor party. Yes, the
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: rule is, it's just an unwritten rule. It's hands off,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: no touch right totally.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: So when the women had the dancers in her bachelorette party,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: there was a whole lot of touching like it. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: just didn't like it.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Oh so you were asking before about what do you
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: think you were read it about what was televised or
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: not my boudoir suit? I mean I didn't That was
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: pretty like my grandson's and a brother.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: And you didn't know about it before.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't know about the boudoir shoot. That was well,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: that was a surprise to me.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: On TV because she got busted.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I got busted, do you know what? They so in
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: my my day that was the same. So we had
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: a joint bachelor and bachelorette party and at one instance
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: there were these two or three strippers that the boys
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: had at their like you know, which they didn't strip
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: down to everything, but they you know what, they were
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: there because it's a bachelor party. And they took Ryan
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: down to the beach. They were like holding his hand
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: walking him down to the beach and he's like, oh,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: you're going to get me in trouble. To this day,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, excuse me, why would you be in trouble?
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: That's sort of self incriminating, isn't it.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I was not happy about that. But
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: that is one thing where you sign up for a
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: televised wedding and if they're going to do your bachelor
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and bachelorette parties, then you have to know going and
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: not that you would have known, but for anyone in
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: the future, just know if you televise your wedding, just
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: expect for there to be drama for the bachelor bachelorette party.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: If you don't want trauma, then maybe don't televise that part.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, it was actually beautiful. Now the Bachelor
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: of party was. It was fun. It was Almos surprised me.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: It's fun.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did you keep the pictures? And are you going
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: to put them up in your house?
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: So Gary has one.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Of the gifts that I got right before the wedding
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: that actually brought a tear to my eye and it's
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: so it's beyond compare. Is the picture of true in
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: the white I don't even know what would you call it?
• 39:03

  Speaker 2: And no, I have a large walk in closet, okay,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: and I use that closet as a locker room practically,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: and it's in there and I see it every morning.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: It's nice.

  Speaker 3: The women all looked phenomenal about, didn't they. All those
• 39:40

  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I believe, I mean, hands up to
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: you like you women, you ladies talked about on the show,
• 39:48

  Speaker 1: to get together and really bond and blend well.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, Yeah, they've done a really good job
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: at that. I mean we had dinner after the final rows.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Everybody got to meet each other casually and we spent
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: some time. But then we also had the holiday meal
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: that was on the you know, on the wedding show,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: and I mean everybody just they do indeed get along. Well,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: they've blended well, and you know, having six grandsons to
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: me is a little different.

  Speaker 1: Yes, how are you handling that? How is it?
• 41:03

• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Was it was, It's great. Yeah.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I love seeing him fixing, helping fix their ties. That's
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: the thing I had not seen that was so great.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I loved that.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: See, I'm sure we're going to watch it again because
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: you know we did, you know, drink it all in
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: and see things that we missed. Yeah, it's so great. Yeah.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Do you have plans to watch it? Like I know
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: that there are some people that pull out their writing
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: video every year or every five years or whatever. Do
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: you have plans to watch it in any regular scheduling?
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: No, they haven't thought of that, but that's a great idea.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: To do it once a year, that'd be awesome.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: That's yeah, I don't know Trista. At my age, I
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: don't even buy green bananas, so you know, thinking about
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: a five year plan.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Have a five year plan in five years, right.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: You know five years? You know that's a lot.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's like what did you say in
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the ceremony, Teresa about how you were Like, oh, yes, I.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: Did, Oh my gosh, I said, and I promised to
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: have some for the rest of our lives, which could
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: be another hour or something like that. And I only
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: thought of that, like when I was practicing with my daughter.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: I said that. That was the first time I said it,
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: because you should keep that in. You should keep that in.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: That was really good and I want, honestly, I wanted
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: the vows to have some humor in it, like yeah,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: to just be so so you know, serious. But I
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: also said something else where. Susan said, where do you
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: see yourselves in ten years? And I said dead? But yes,
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: they cut that out. They cut it out. See you
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: only see that me mouth the words.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Got it a joke.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I really think we're a little to
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: be on one hundred and four, one hundred and twenty.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I think we're gone.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: And for Susan, how do you guys feel like Susan.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Did amazing Susan. Nobody could have done it better. Oh
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: my god, she was so great.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I personally loved when she said when I first met you, Gary,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I said I was going to marry you. Yeah.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, yes, the nice thing was Susan. You know,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: she has this energy, but I think both Teresa and
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I have sort of an emotional connection to her. She
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: has the ability to draw people into her and make
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: friends with everyone. So you know, literally she did give
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: me that sign of you know, tapping her heart during
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: the Rose ceremonies, and and you know she did it,
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: you know, in the early part of the ceremony. And
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: she just has a way.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah, yeah, And she's somebody who blew
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: us away with how well she did it went way
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: above and beyond. And she looked so gorgeous. I mean,
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: how great was she in that black.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I mean everyone was gorgeous, honestly, and everyone looked Yeah,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: even the guests that I didn't know. Every it was
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: just a beautiful just a beautiful group of people.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: It was amazing. How was it looking out? I just
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: have a couple more questions and then I'll let you
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: go and you can have more than just lentil soup?
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: So how was it looking out into you know, this
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: crowd of people and not knowing a lot of us?
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you know you knew me, and but right, well,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I guess you had met Ryan at the after the
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: final rows, but a lot of the Bachelor people you
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: probably had not met yet. Correct, So how did that
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: feel like?
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: Is that? Yes? It felt overwhelming and exciting and like
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: oh my.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: God, look is there?
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: And oh my god. Yeah, yeah it was. It was
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: pretty exciting. Yes, I would say that. How do you feel?
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Gary Bradford had given me a little bit of a primer.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: We went to a number of pictures and you know
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: the names and some of the history, so it wasn't
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: my first time, you know, seeing them, but I had
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: no real connection with them, you know, just to say
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: oh they were at such and such season, you know,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: it didn't really mean much. So you know, as the
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: night wore on and I got to meet them and
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: see their true personalities and everything. It was nice to do.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but do you guys feel the like family, like
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: the familial connections everyone?
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, definitely, yeah, they're all everyone so lovely, such nice people,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: and so yeah, starting to feel that way. It's great.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I love it. I've been wanting them to do like
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: some kind of reunion with everybody. I know it's probably
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: impossible because that would be thousands and thousands of people
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: like who have been on every show, but I just
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: think it would be so fun to just reunite with
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: some people, you.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Know, Yeah, that'd be tremendous.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, So what is next for both of you? I
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: know you're doing working on the move, are you? I
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: know you went back to your job, right, Teresa?
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's really yes, straightening out this house so
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: we're living here and then looking for we have many
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: trips planned, so many trips planned for the year, and
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: looking for a home and going to Italy and going
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: to Indiana and going to South Carolina and here we
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: have and then going to it's Orange Beach. So we're
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: going to a trip with his pickleball friends and.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Oh how fun.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Why from my partner, my pickleball partner.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's amazing.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: That is that's amazing. Have you been to way either
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: you know, oh you have okay, love love love that
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: you just learned that about him, by the way that you're.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Still just learn that. I just learned that.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Just I love it, okay, And so lots of trips,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: still working and then Gary, are you going to keep
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: the the lake house?
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a question I have to answer
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: for myself, and I don't know yet. I really like
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: the summers here. There's activity constant, and I'm fortunate enough
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: my house is next door to the one bar and
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: grill on the lake, so people are coming in to eat,
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: and the weekends are just frantically busy. I can sit
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: on my deck and just say hi to people that
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: I've known for, you know, the six or seven years here.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: It's great. But also by about October or even late September,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: clear and through April, it's there's nothing going on, and
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: it's gray and it's dismal. And so I've really thought
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: for the last couple of years about, you know, not
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: staying here any longer. So I really don't kind of
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: think about that and decide what to do. And I
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: haven't decided.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Yet, how do your girls feel?
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I think they're okay with it. We've had so many
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: good holidays here. Yeah, you know, every summer there's probably
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: four or five times through the summer that they're here
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: and we have a party of a good time. Yeah,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: but I think they'd be okay, especially since Teresa and
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: I have the priority of whereever we go, we're going
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: to have a house that is sort of a destination
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: house for everyone. Whether it's close to the ocean or
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: with a pool or you know, the things that will
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: attract our family to come and enjoy visits. So yeah,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: it will be find either way.
• 49:13
