• 0:13
  Speaker 1: days ever, my wedding day. Ryan, my amazing husband, is
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: going to be joining me today as well as a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: very special guest, so I hope you tune in. Okay,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So my next guest I don't think needs any introduction,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: but I will introduce him. Nonetheless, he was the one
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: who was there with me, threw it all from the engagement,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: well actually even before the engagement, to the engagement, to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the planning, to the wedding, to the honeymoon to the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: last twenty years. He is my best friend, my soulmate,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and my husband for twenty years. Almost crazy. Anyway, let's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: bring in Ryan. Welcome to the show again. Thanks for
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: coming on and talking about the wedding. I mean, I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: was just talking to Sarah and she asked if we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: ever watch the if we watch it back on our anniversary,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: because I think they watch their video every year, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I was like, no, I don't think it's really Ryan's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: cuppe Titi to watch that back, although maybe maybe we
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: should now that we have it now that we have
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a link to it, would you watch it again with
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: me sometime?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I would. I would definitely watch the wedding again
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fure. I mean, it was such a fun weekend.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I loved watching it back, just remembering all the little
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: things that I've kind of forgotten since then. What is
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: one of the favorite memories for you?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I was trying to think that too,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: as you've been sort of reviewing it, and I honestly
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: don't remember very much about it. And I know, I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: kind of remember the lead up to it and the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: debate as to whether or not we were going to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: do it on television and sort of those conversations, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: then I remember the overall impression afterwards when everybody was
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: kind of leaving, and how fun it turned out. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: think the obvious things that stick out for me, or
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to make the Brad Paisley thing work out,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and in the midst of you know, you were changing
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: dresses and there were the photography was going on, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: then Brad had an actual concert he had to get to,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: so he had a time frame, and so trying to
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: hurry that process along without giving it away. I remember
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: obviously you know, just how well done it was esthetically
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: with all of the flowers and stuff. You know, you
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: always remember the helicopter sort of influence there and those
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: being around. But I can still sort of picture when
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you were at the top of the stairs and I
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: was waiting for you there, and kind of the front
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: row with our immediate family, and those sorts of images
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: are still in my mind. But a lot of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: other stuff, I just you know, it just was such
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a whirlwind, and you're always kind of bouncing back and forth.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: So it's weird. It's weird. Do you remember. I remember
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: sort of wishing I wouldn't have gotten a haircut, like
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: sort of weird, Oh my god.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, why don't I just get my haircut
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: right before?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So like just little stuff. But yeah, it's it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: hard for me to remember a lot of the details,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: do you Well.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Actually, I want to go back to the Brad Paisley
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: with thing because that was I mean, there's so many
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: great moments for me for that the entire weekend, but
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the Brad Paisley moment, as you know, I love surprises.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And for those of you who don't know the backstory,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Ryan had given me a poem on our first one
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: on one date at SeaWorld. Well that was called something
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: about Her and he had it made so Rick Cowling,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the Rick Calling Band, was the band that was at
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: our wedding, and he worked with Sadler, one of our
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: close friends and our manager at the time, to get
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in touch with Rick Calling. Rick Calling made the poem
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: into a song, so he put it to music. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: then you contacted Brad Paisley because I had been in
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a Brad Paisley video and asked if he were to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: record it right and be there And so I didn't
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: know any of this was going on. And we are
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the ceremony is done. We are taking pictures that I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: have waited forever to take, right. I mean, I want
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: these pictures, you know, I love pictures. And I'm like,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we are going to get really good pictures. And Ryan
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: is like, okay, can we be done? Okay? Can we
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: be done? Okay? Can we be done? And I'm like,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: would you stop rushing me? We are taking pictures. These
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: are gonna be what I look back on for the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: rest of my life. I need this moment, and so
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, stop rushing me. So I'm in the ceremony
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: dress and then I have to get changed into the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: other dress. And you could just tell Ryan is like
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: pacing back and forth like so stressed out, and I'm like,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: what is his problem? Like, calm down, we just got married,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: like we're supposed to be enjoying this little do I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: know that Brad Paisley has a hard out, like he
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: has to be right. He had to be out by
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a certain time or he wasn't going to be able
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to sing the song for our first dance at all.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So Ryan's like, oh my god, would you please get
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: your stupid dress on? But it was the best moment
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it ever to walk into that room after I had
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: my reception dress dress on and Brad is sitting there
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and he serenades us with not only a Brad Paisley song,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he did record it, it is on iTunes, but with
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the song that had such sentimental value and was a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: poem that you wrote for me, Like, it was just
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the best surprise. It will go down as one of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the best moments of my life. So thank you for that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It was. It was like a great moment for me. Also, yeah, Glad,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Glad pulled it off. Mindy Wise helped a ton two
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: sheet was instrumental in getting Rick to write the song.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And then you know Rick had to also he was
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: super generous and he had to agree to that Brad
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: also see it, and so there was a lot that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: had to happen behind the scenes that people helped me out.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So it was good to It's so I'm so thankful
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to all of those people, everybody, Rick calling, Brad, Paisley,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Mindy Wei, Sadler, anyone else who Chris Marcy probably he
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: helped a little bit, Brad's manager at the time. I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: don't know even his wife who asked me to be
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: on her show and introduced me to Brad. Like all
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of those had had to kind of happen. But anyway,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I just love that moment. But we were going to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: go into after you were sharing that stuff. I was
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: going to ask you if there was anything that you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: did regret, like would you thinking back on it? And
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you know, we did have a lot of fights about
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the actual like whether or not we were going to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: do it on television, whether Charlie was going to be there,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: which watching that it's just like so range, like, yeah,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: so weird. I mean, love for Charlie. You know, like
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: he was just there kind of doing a job. But
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: how awkward was that for you to have him there
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in the room.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I mean I.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Literally laughed out loud watching it. The fact that Charlie's like,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: let's listen in like as your dad's giving you like
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it's mirroble speech, so strange.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I think there were like the options were either like
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to have Charlie do it, or there was some other
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: option that was it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Was they would the cameras were going to be in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: our faces twenty four to seven. That was the option.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think for me, once we agreed to
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: do the wedding on television, I feel like internally I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: just had to surrender to the process. And yeah, that
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: might be one regret is and I think it turned
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: out really well. Yeah, and Mindy did an awesome job,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: but it was it was there were a lot of
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: things that were beyond our control, and thank goodness, we
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: were able to get it where we got it, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: not like I think originally they were going to try
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: to do it all of America or something like super.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Commercial and oh my gosh, I don't even remember, so
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: we were did we talk about doing it mall of America?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: When it was still just Warner Brothers doing it, But
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: then Baille Resorts kind of stepped in and Adam Ahern
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: offered up their property, and so that that part worked
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: out well. In hindsight, you sort of we were just
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: so naive coming out of the process and like, these
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: are stupid, superficial considerations. But I feel like we probably
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: could have negotiated a little bit more out of it
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: than for what we gave up and for what it
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: turned out to be. But I think ultimately we both
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: just decided that we were gonna we were just going
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: to go with the flow and see how it all
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: turned out. And I wouldn't go back and change anything,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: knowing where we are now, and I would be afraid
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that if we did something different that maybe everything wouldn't
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: have turned out as well as it has for us.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: And so it's one moment in time in our relationship.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I think everybody that was their friends and family had
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a great time at the world at the time was
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: a different place, and people tuned in to watch it
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, and I think we still still hear
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: kind of cool stories about people's experiences way back then
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and who they shared time with watching the show, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: so all of that stuff has been really rewarding, you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: for all we really did was just get married on television,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: and it had a pretty big impact on not only us,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: but on a lot of people. So I really don't
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: have any major regrets.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the one regret I do have is that, you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: we didn't have any hands in kind of planning this
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: part of it. But the fact that our immediate family
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: was in the front row and they didn't have like
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: for every row there was a speaker so that people
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: we had mics on so that people at the ceremony
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: could actually hear us because the helicopters were really loud,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: but our immediate family couldn't hear us because they didn't have,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: you know, a a speaker in front of them, so
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they couldn't hear. So like hindsight again twenty twenty, like
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: if we had done it inside, then you know, everyone
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: could actually have been a part. But it was such
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a beautiful setting. I mean, those that gazebo or orchway
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: or whatever you call it, and all of the flowers
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that Mark's Garden brought in and just what Mindy did
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: with the setting was just stunning. So you know, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: mean weighing things, but I really do wish that our
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: family could have actually heard what we were saying and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: didn't have to watch it on television afterwards. But at
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: least they could I guess. Yeah, yeah, Well, thanks for
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: coming on and sharing your thoughts. I actually get to
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: talk to Mindy next.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I'm sous.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, actually I want you to. I want you
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to tell everyone what Mindy did, Like, how how much
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: do we love Mindy Weiss? I mean she made you
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: feel because I was obviously, you know, all in it
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: with her. It was like my dream come true to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: work with her, but you kind of were keeping yourself
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: at a distance because it wasn't really your thing, and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you thank you were letting me kind of, you know,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: have my moment. But she came in and tell them what?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Tell everyone how she made you feel comfortable?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, clearly, Mindy has done this before, and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: she knows she had done enough a lot of researching
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to tend to both of us to know who I
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: was and what my personality was like, and what your
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: personality was like, and what you know, who was probably
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: going to be more excited about being super hands on
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and who was probably going to be less excited about it,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and so she got into I think we had like
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: it was like a car service or something that we
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: had had gotten. And she got in and handed me
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: a sketchbook with some colored pencils and a game boy
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and lots of stuff to sort of occupy my time,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: so that while you guys were picking out flowers and
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: colors and things that were in your realm, I was
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: able to occupy my time and wasn't super bored with him.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: She was great throughout the whole thing. She included me
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: in the things like the cake tasting and the food
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: and that sort of stuff, and then she let me
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: sort of sit out on a lot of the other
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: stuff that was really more between you and her. So
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: she was She made it. She made it super easy,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and I think without her it would have been not
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: only as great a production and as great a wedding,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: but it just would have been a little less enjoyable. Yeah,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I just told Stephanie Leidecker. I got to talk to Stephanie,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and I told her, she's just like your favorite aunt,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you know, like she makes you feel like family, like
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you're welcome, and and she listens like she wants it
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: to be your day. She just makes you feel heard
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and seen, and I think that is such a valuable
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: skill if you will. It's just part of who she is.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: It's not like she really even tries too hard. She
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: just that's who she is. She just is such an
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: incredible hugage. Yeah. So anyway, I get to talk to Mindy.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: If you want to pop in and say hi, you can.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: But thanks for coming on and sharing your thoughts and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: going back to uh twenty years ago with me.

  Speaker 1: walking into your office and I had my old my
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: old book my my friend.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I remember, and we were sitting over on the couch.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: I remember the whole thing.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, And I remember back in that day there was
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: no social media, so I had everything pulled for magazines,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: you know, all the pages were ripped out, showing you
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: what I liked. Do people how do people show up
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: now as brides or like birthday girls or whatever they do?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: They have like a they just show you social medi
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: links or how do they do it?
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: They show up with their computers, they have a power
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: point presentation, They show me a Pinterest and they say,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: you know, I like all of this, but I want
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: it to be different. Yes, why are you showing me
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: a Pinterest babe? You know, but if you remember me,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: I do. I do what people want and I make
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: suggestions because I like to make everything a little bit different.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: So, but very organized because of social media. And you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: it's a little bit too much because when you're bringing
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: magazine pages there were only so many magazines, you know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: but with Pinterests and all the blogs and all the
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Instagrammers and oh my god, it goes on forever. And
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: then the next week it's a whole new look because
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: the weekend came and they saw another wedding they loved with.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: The little new I bet okay, So what's your favorite
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: thing to plan?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: These days?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Obviously you do all of them. And I've been watching
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the Kardashians really especially, and oh my gosh, all of
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: their parties are so amazing. So what's your favorite thing
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to do?
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Just you know, they they those are all their ideas,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: like they are very very artistic and creative, and oh
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: they're prepared for our meetings. They really are prepared. I
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: don't think people realize that. But the truth is that
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I'd rather do birthday parties, kids parties, shows because it's
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: just not as emotional, you know, yeah right when it
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't take a year. It was so funny,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: and you know this about me. I went to a
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: meeting at someone's house on Tuesday and their kid's birthday
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: party was sad and they were out of town and
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: didn't have time, and she was panicking and I said
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: to her. And I didn't know her completely well yet.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know her, but I didn't know where
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I go. I would have started today anyway.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So don't you anything to make people feel good? I mean, honestly,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I remember or or like not stress. I will never
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: forget when we were in the limo and you handed
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Ryan the like the folder of all of his stuff
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and gave him a game boy and like cards just
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to make him feel good. Yes, I think that's what
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: sets you apart, Like you're not just about hope.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: So I hope you because people think I'm something I'm not,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: do you know what I mean? Like before they meet
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: me there, they come in and I think they think
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a headset or something. And sometimes I
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: come in sweats and one time I'm running in because
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: sometimes I'm late, and the mother and father go, we're
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: waiting for Mindy. I go, oh, well, here, I ask.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: So I really think there's a lot of smoke and
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: mirrors because yeah, because you know, I don't think they
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: expect me to be just who I am, who I
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: really am, you know and stuff. Yeah, And I still
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: say in interview process, I said, look, if my kids
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: call or my grandkids call I stop our meeting, and
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I take the call. I'll be right back. But if
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: that bothers you, I'm not the right person totally.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: And that's why I love you.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Oh thank you.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: It's real light, it's real. Like I always say to people,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you're mad. You are like my favorite big sister or
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: my favorite aunt, because you just make people feel like
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: you made me and Ryan just feel loved, like every
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: part of it. There was no stress in you. You're
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: so positive and so just helpful and calming people down.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: It's such a stressful situation, even though it's a situation.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: It's like I didn't want you guys to miss out
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: because it was such a short period, you know what
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, And you had to do it quick based
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: on production schedules and you know, and I was determined
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: that you got as much at a wedding planning like
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: a normal not that you weren't normal, but you were in.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: A very well but I know what you mean.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, so I tried to do all the cuteness
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: and all that stuff so you felt like a bride.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: And I remember your rule that and I think I'm
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: right that you wouldn't let them stop the production while
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: you were walking down the aisle. Was that you like
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: they couldn't stop.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I mean the TV.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like when they were filming, I really think.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, I want to get all filmed. Do you know why?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Because in our contract they did say that we could
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: have a videographer, right, and we could have our photographer,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: but I didn't bring anybody. So this was my wedding video, Like,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: this was me remembering. This is me like having it
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: on film to remember for the rest of my life.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: So that's funny. I don't remember that, but that seems familiar,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you know that I would say, no, we need to continue, just.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Pring on, don't stop. Yeah, I remember that.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I thought that was really important too. Yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I wanted it to be my wedding, our wedding. I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: didn't want it to be a television production, even though
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: it was both. I wanted it to feel more like
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a wedding that all of my friends and family too
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: would go to normally.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: So what was your favorite detail? Because I know people
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: didn't see everything, and I feel like I need answer
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: to this, but what do you remember what your favorite
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: detail of the wedding was.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: Well, the thing I think that became a trend you know. Yeah,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: was our variegated chair covers, you know. Yeah, so that
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: became a big trend. So that was it. Oh yeah,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: oh for sure. I mean I don't think anybody had
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: done that, so I love that. But nobody really got
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: to see your reception, which.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I thought you were to say that. Yeah, so I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: didn't either. I didn't get to see many Do you
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: remember I told you. I was like, wait, there were
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: couches by the pool. I didn't even see.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all you asked for, we had that. But you know,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: even in nor normal situations, the bride and groom miss
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: a lot, you know. Yeah, there's so much and and
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: you guys are very warm and fuzzy to your guests,
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: so that was very important to you that you said
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: hi to everybody and you know all that stuff. So
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: you miss it, You just miss and but that's normal. No,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: that's why you say. I have a lot of people go, oh,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: I don't want video, We'll never watch it. And I said,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: you really do? You really want it filmed? When people
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: are talking to you and people pass away, and then
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: you have that you know, three D kind of talking
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: and you know, not just a picture.

• 24:47
  Speaker 3: I go, you need video just reconsider Yeah.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: For sure, agreed. Agree. Was there any stressful moment that
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: maybe people didn't see that you had to deal with
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes that day, yes, or that weekend? Yeah,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: you're like so much.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I think the production crew who was amazing, and
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: I talked to a lot of them way after the wedding,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: but they hadn't done a wedding, so they didn't have
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: all the stuff, Like they would come to us and go,
• 25:24
