02:36.462 --> 02:38.785
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what was that moment of seeing each other?
02:38.805 --> 02:40.768
[SPEAKER_01]: The first time, do you even remember it?
02:40.748 --> 02:41.389
[SPEAKER_01]: I do.
02:42.030 --> 02:54.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, which is, you know, sounds corny, sounds like love at first sight and you see it, you know, so long ago, but okay, we are jumping right into it and I appreciate that list of because I want to shout it from the rooftop.
02:54.071 --> 02:57.036
[SPEAKER_00]: So thanks for giving us this opportunity.
02:58.332 --> 03:01.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Gosh, we grew up together.
03:01.198 --> 03:06.549
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm also from Raleigh, born and raised in Raleigh, and North Carolina, and we literally lived through the woods.
03:06.870 --> 03:14.265
[SPEAKER_00]: I have my mom wrote horses as well, so they were very similar in that regard, but through the woods, she lived in the neighborhood and was the girl.
03:14.245 --> 03:27.407
[SPEAKER_00]: that I recognized lived close to me regardless of that first day of first grade where I started at the Ravens Cross School room until I remember seeing her and just thinking that she was the cutest girl I've ever seen.
03:27.487 --> 03:30.772
[SPEAKER_00]: Remember saying to these new friends, you know, just first grade.
03:30.812 --> 03:34.759

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to marry that girl.
03:36.622 --> 03:44.434
[SPEAKER_01]: So it wasn't even like you had just met and we're in class for a while and kind of new each other.
03:44.514 --> 03:48.781
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like from the moment you saw you were like, I want to marry her in first grade.
03:49.362 --> 03:54.850
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I'm just so funny because I had like a bull cut and I love it.
03:55.351 --> 03:58.115
[SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't like this little girl's long blonde hair.
03:58.175 --> 04:00.739
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I was very awkward and funny looking but
04:00.719 --> 04:08.691
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she was kind of a tomboy, but you know, I ended up being best for my best friend in what third fourth and fifth grade was a tomboy.
04:08.711 --> 04:14.801
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was

like, oh, she's gonna be my best friend and I'm gonna want to marry her because she's a girl and that's cool.
04:15.622 --> 04:16.804
[SPEAKER_00]: And I like her a lot.
04:16.784 --> 04:18.127
[SPEAKER_00]: that's how it really started.
04:18.147 --> 04:24.421
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was all the friends, our little, you know, first-grade friends, her friend, was friends with my friend.
04:24.461 --> 04:29.131
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just we've ran in the same friend group all our life, lower school, middle school, high school.
04:30.133 --> 04:31.536
[SPEAKER_00]: And really,
04:31.904 --> 04:36.029
[SPEAKER_00]: would date a little bit when she would allow me to go ahead.
04:36.409 --> 04:41.656
[SPEAKER_02]: Wait, so that when in first grade, I remember when I first saw him getting back to like, do you remember when he first met?
04:42.296 --> 04:43.238
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
04:43.918 --> 04:48.704
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was there in kindergarten and so all of this sort of new each other in Logan was new in first grade.
04:48.804 --> 04:51.928
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, the new kid comes in and he was so cute.
04:51.968 --> 04:53.710
[SPEAKER_02]: He looked like, have you seen
04:54.230 --> 05:00.440

[SPEAKER_02]: Very Stuart little and his mom is just like gorgeous blonde woman and they walk in and she drop, gets lived inside, I don't end drops him off and she leaves and then he started crying because he was scared.
05:11.878 --> 05:14.702
[SPEAKER_02]: It was so nervous that we all knew whether he was in school.
05:14.682 --> 05:24.419
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he was probably scared, so that's what I remember, but he was so cute just like in his little glasses and he had a bull cut to you I think yeah, it was that time.
05:24.519 --> 05:27.023
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was a time for real.
05:27.204 --> 05:29.367
[SPEAKER_01]: I was that kid to I relate Logan.
05:29.427 --> 05:29.788
[SPEAKER_01]: I get the
05:29.768 --> 05:42.722
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's so good, so you guys like truly remember meeting in first grade that is incredible and the first day of school and everything and you guys like continue to connect throughout that time, right?
05:42.782 --> 05:55.776
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe take us on a timeline of, you know, did you guys ever have a moment where you weren't friends and lost touch and then reconnected like what was that like kind of leading up to your relationship?
05:55.756 --> 05:57.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, how much?
05:57.059 --> 05:57.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
05:58.522 --> 05:59.223
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know.
05:59.243 --> 06:01.308
[SPEAKER_01]: You're like 25 years later.
06:01.328 --> 06:12.111
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, to give you the kind of high level, but also a few specifics in kind of painting the picture for how beautiful I believe it is where we are now from.
06:12.091 --> 06:24.931
[SPEAKER_00]: how we started and first grader, knowing each other, in terms of remembering that and we met, also remember vividly, she was my first kiss, you know, like 11, 12 or maybe here.
06:25.592 --> 06:37.491
[SPEAKER_00]: In a movie theatre, in a first go like this, I remember, she was the first person I drank a beer with, I remember drinking a sneak in a beat, you know, young, being rebellious in a basement,
06:37.471 --> 07:01.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so we truly were just best friends at childhood, but as a boy you can imagine I was just kind of wild child there Never boy liked skateboarding, weightboarding, surfing, motorcross, I would have all these little bikes and motorized things and I'd go in her neighborhood and just just buy her house, just want her to see me her sister with this be dealing, I mean like, oh my gosh, I must know I was getting out of here.
07:01.905 --> 07:05.470
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe in my room and I would just hear like
07:05.450 --> 07:09.377
[SPEAKER_02]: back and forth up and down because I lived at the end of the road and then he was right to the woods.
07:09.417 --> 07:18.674
[SPEAKER_02]: So hip him and his friends whoever it was would either bring like a four wheeler through the woods or he had a yeah a motor cross bike and just be as loud as possible and I would hear it.
07:18.714 --> 07:23.442
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd be in my room and I'd hear it and I would go ahead like a balcony out the front of my
07:23.422 --> 07:29.691
[SPEAKER_02]: room on the second floor and they would just be going back and forth back and forth and I was like, oh my gosh, just wreaking havoc.
07:29.851 --> 07:34.577
[SPEAKER_00]: You're showing off doing it for the for the girls and um, exactly.
07:34.878 --> 07:35.399
[SPEAKER_00]: It's what it was.
07:35.519 --> 07:42.308
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked her always and it was always open to wanting to date her, but
07:42.288 --> 07:53.045
[SPEAKER_00]: There were times when she was like, you're kind of love bombing me, and this is kind of a lot, and we would pull back, you know, we'd break up, and yeah, you know, you know, a little third grader with his heart break.
07:53.185 --> 07:59.334
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, we can't be friends, but we would still continue to be in the same social circles, the same friend group.
08:00.015 --> 08:08.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Our community at our school is very small, and so it was always, you know, you're going to know everybody in your class, let alone in your class room, let alone, you know,
08:08.849 --> 08:13.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody that you're dating, you're going to see them all the time when you break up.
08:13.060 --> 08:24.107
[SPEAKER_00]: So that led to us often on often on, we dated other people in high school and then we came back together and dated each other and see our senior year and then we went off the college.
08:24.087 --> 08:26.831
[SPEAKER_00]: We were both supposed to go to UNC Wilmington.
08:26.871 --> 08:28.433
[SPEAKER_00]: She got into UNC Wilmington.
08:28.453 -->
08:29.715
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I was a shoe-end.
08:30.075 --> 08:30.857
[SPEAKER_00]: And I didn't get in.
08:31.958 --> 08:32.479
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my gosh.
08:32.579 --> 08:35.723
[SPEAKER_02]: I like based on her department of mine, which I don't recommend.
08:35.803 --> 08:39.509
[SPEAKER_02]: But at the time, I was like, you know, we're both going to go to UNCW.
08:39.629 --> 08:40.650
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's going to be awesome.
08:40.670 --> 08:42.433
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I got in and he didn't.
08:42.453 --> 08:43.294
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, wait.
08:43.696 --> 08:55.238
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, okay, so yeah, he wasn't there for the first semester, but then I came all the time, I came there all the time, and I I'm not there, this is the same tell me I can't and I will, so they didn't want me to get in there.
08:55.459 --> 09:00.388
[SPEAKER_00]: We uh, we dated a little bit in college as well, and then we went our separate ways, I think about, you know,
09:00.368 --> 09:01.269
[SPEAKER_00]: a couple years in.
09:01.309 --> 09:02.812
[SPEAKER_00]: She went her direction.
09:02.832 --> 09:03.593
[SPEAKER_00]: I went mine.
09:03.673 --> 09:08.760
[SPEAKER_00]: I was really just wakeboarding a lot and hanging out with my friends and living that life.
09:08.801 --> 09:12.907
[SPEAKER_00]: And kind of frankly, I just assumed that we would just continue to stay together and be together.
09:12.947 --> 09:15.611
[SPEAKER_00]: So to all the guys out there, don't take it for granted.
09:16.071 --> 09:20.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Keep your lady that you love being the lady that you love and let her know it.
09:20.578 --> 09:23.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I kind of messed up on that part.
09:23.302 --> 09:43.757
[SPEAKER_00]: and really our lives just really grew pretty quickly in different directions and that gosh that was frankly about like 10 years with little moments here and there of touching bass hey how you doing you know and of course honestly for me like hey I'm pretty cool now you know you want to date me and never really work down
09:43.737 --> 09:55.015
[SPEAKER_00]: about a year ago from now on the New York City, teaching of Peloton have been up here about three years of three nights in a row.
09:55.155 --> 09:58.841
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not one who is like a vivid dreamer or recalls my dreams often.
09:58.901 --> 10:06.994
[SPEAKER_00]: Three nights in a row I had full-on movie-like dreams where it was some adventure or some experience with
10:06.974 --> 10:07.916
[SPEAKER_00]: Natalie.
10:07.936 --> 10:10.823
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hadn't seen her very long time after the third night.
10:10.843 --> 10:13.990
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean the morning, you know, after I got out of the shower, you're ready.
10:14.010 --> 10:15.313
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, you know, I should just text her.
10:15.654 --> 10:16.917
[SPEAKER_00]: And that'd be creepy.
10:17.037 --> 10:18.300
[SPEAKER_00]: And say, hey, I just had three dreams.
10:18.721 --> 10:20.004
[SPEAKER_00]: But just, yeah, yeah.
10:20.064 --> 10:21.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I'm doing.
10:21.187 --> 10:22.069
[SPEAKER_00]: How's it going?
10:22.310 --> 10:23.332
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I really should know.
10:23.412 --> 10:24.595
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
10:24.575 --> 10:27.118
[SPEAKER_00]: Bell reached out to Texas, and how you doing?
10:27.178 --> 10:28.900
[SPEAKER_00]: How's it been to respond to?
10:28.920 --> 10:30.762
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, so good to hear from you, blah, blah, blah.
10:30.902 --> 10:37.931
[SPEAKER_00]: And about a month later, I was the commencement speaker at our high school, Ravens Crawl, for the graduating class of 25.
10:37.951 --> 10:40.734
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was in town for like one night.
10:40.874 --> 10:42.096
[SPEAKER_00]: And I said, hey, I'm doing the speech.
10:42.116 --> 10:45.019
[SPEAKER_00]: And after we'd love to just grab a bite, grab a drink.
10:45.039 --> 10:46.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get together and we did.
10:46.861 --> 10:50.886
[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, that's, here we are now.
10:50.866 --> 10:56.093
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, so let's see, there we go, and now you guys are going to get married.
10:56.153 --> 10:57.795
[SPEAKER_01]: That's so exciting!
10:57.915 --> 11:03.983
[SPEAKER_01]: My gosh, I love your story just how it started and first grade and has developed into what it is now.
11:04.003 --> 11:19.202
[SPEAKER_01]: I did want to ask you though, I know you had a big life change happened to you, Logan when you were a 13 years old, Natalie were you able to kind of walk through that with Logan and how did that affect your relationship?
11:19.823 --> 11:21.085
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah, definitely.
11:21.105 --> 11:27.417
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I remember exactly where I was when I found out I was actually, I I had gotten home.
11:27.437 --> 11:34.670
[SPEAKER_02]: I was driving from the barn with my mom and we're pulling into my driveway and she got a phone call and it was like Because Logan was my best friend at the time.
11:34.710 --> 11:35.691
[SPEAKER_02]: He hung out all the time.
11:35.732 --> 11:41.562
[SPEAKER_02]: She was like She hung up, which is like, oh my god, Logan's been in a really bad accident and I really didn't
11:42.554 --> 11:54.159
[SPEAKER_02]: I obviously didn't understand the magnitude of it, and so my army-trial friend Kyle, his mom took us to visit him in the hospital, and it was just like such a shock.
11:54.199 --> 11:56.022
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he was still in the ICU.
11:56.083 --> 12:02.436
[SPEAKER_02]: He still had his arm at the time, and it was just us and his parents, and I think his brother.
12:02.686 --> 12:08.493
[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of a part to remember, but um, yeah, I think she was one of the first people to come and visit.
12:08.814 --> 12:09.795
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so.
12:09.855 --> 12:12.519
[SPEAKER_02]: You weren't, you didn't even, like, he doesn't remember me being there obviously.
12:12.539 --> 12:15.242
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, I
really didn't understand the magnitude of it.
12:15.302 --> 12:18.186
[SPEAKER_02]: My biggest thing going in was like, oh my gosh, what kind of candy does he like?
12:18.226 --> 12:24.013
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I brought him some peach gummy rings and like that obviously was just, I had no clue.
12:24.033 --> 12:26.196
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, one more, again.
12:26.733 --> 12:32.741
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, the amputated his arm, and it didn't, it didn't change our relationship.
12:32.861 --> 12:37.748
[SPEAKER_02]: It's interesting, because I feel like I was like more nervous about it than he was.
12:38.008 --> 12:40.472
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he was so normal after it all happened.
12:40.572 --> 12:50.585
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I was, I thought maybe he was going to come back to school or that our friendship with he was going to be a different person or just like really going through it, but he wasn't at all.
12:50.685 --> 12:51.947
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just like,
12:52.147 --> 13:11.006
[SPEAKER_00]: He just jumped right back into life and it made it easy for everyone else to feel comfortable and just like I think that was so important as well I cherish most not only about our my relationship with her my whole life but that school that community that support system that I had I think it's very natural what she's saying.
13:11.026 --> 13:11.987
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's very common.
13:12.167 --> 13:21.917
[SPEAKER_00]: We assume and we speculate that individuals come through this life changing thing of course going to be hard to be tough to talk about and bring up and it is I'm sure for many people and respect that but
13:21.897 --> 13:24.142
[SPEAKER_00]: My fear was exactly that.
13:24.222 --> 13:29.834
[SPEAKER_00]: My fear was that folks were going to say, oh, he's really going through it now Must be so hard.
13:30.255 --> 13:41.560
[SPEAKER_00]: How's he gonna open his locker and get his books out put him in his backpack It was just so much thoughtful Federation, but so important to me to show all my friends and my
13:41.540 --> 13:45.785
[SPEAKER_00]: parents and my peers and everybody in my life that I'm the same me.
13:45.926 --> 13:46.606
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still Logan.
13:46.907 --> 13:47.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it's just an arm.
13:48.048 --> 14:10.737
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the mantra my mom said in the moment and it's something that changed my life and I think it's always been refreshing that she has never seen me as that and that's never been something that label me and it's I mean so much so that a few years later playing the cross we finished a game hanging out with all our friends there and she had watched some other girls in her shoes untied and we were
14:10.717 --> 14:15.764
[SPEAKER_00]: I will, but all the friends like what it happens all the time.
14:15.784 --> 14:16.846
[SPEAKER_00]: It still happens all the time.
14:17.306 --> 14:18.608
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never referred to everybody.
14:18.708 --> 14:26.480
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, most
of my friends don't even use that way because it's not something like Highlight and that's something I represent as a limitation for me.
14:26.700 --> 14:28.202
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a unique.
14:28.182 --> 14:29.264
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, definitely.
14:29.304 --> 14:47.035
[SPEAKER_01]: That's so cool how you guys were truly able to just like, you know, not really have it affect your relationship too much and that, you know, you've really truly been able to Logan help other people who've gone through this too and this big life-changing thing and my question was just an arm.
14:47.155 --> 14:50.781
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that you're mom truly just like,
14:50.761 --> 15:04.767
[SPEAKER_01]: Embedded that mantra into you and that you're able to share that with other people now too just with what you're doing with public speaking through Peloton and everything and so I think that's awesome But yeah, let's get back to your relationship.
15:04.847 --> 15:07.071
[SPEAKER_00]: My dad joke about that is I used to be left handed now.
15:07.211 --> 15:08.854
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, and so
15:09.290 --> 15:10.232
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so good.
15:10.252 --> 15:14.179
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a right hand man, and she's in my left hand lately now, so that's how it is.
15:15.501 --> 15:17.044
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that outlook.
15:17.144 --> 15:18.186
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so good.
15:18.206 --> 15:19.168
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so good.
15:19.208 --> 15:24.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright, so let's go back to you guys, reconnected a year ago.
15:24.458 --> 15:28.425
[SPEAKER_01]: So your relationship developed pretty fast, but it was long distance, right?
15:28.485 --> 15:32.192
[SPEAKER_01]: Logan, you're in New York and Natalie, you're in North Carolina.
15:32.172 --> 15:39.880
[SPEAKER_01]: At what point did it get really serious where you were like, hey, I think now's the time that we need to get engaged.
15:41.021 --> 15:53.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I was aggressive in the sense that I've been trying to reconnect and, you know, of course we had other relationships, other folks were dating in the timing of this, where I was single, she was single.
15:54.055 --> 15:56.838
[SPEAKER_00]: I was not coming in to get friends out.
15:57.138 --> 15:59.040
[SPEAKER_00]: I was coming in to say, hey.
15:59.020 --> 16:14.194
[SPEAKER_00]: and this is the corny reality is like she's always been the one she's been the one and i've been patiently waiting behind the scenes or or you know i thought that you know you got to move on with life you know didn't work out that they chose someone else and it's
16:14.174 --> 16:15.136
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great.
16:15.597 --> 16:22.590
[SPEAKER_00]: When I recognize that I was going to have this opportunity a year ago to sit with her and to really, I could just see the stars aligning.
16:22.650 --> 16:25.476
[SPEAKER_00]: The universe God was telling me that is your chance.
16:25.636 --> 16:26.417
[SPEAKER_00]: It's your chance, dude.
16:26.437 --> 16:30.445
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to try and so, you know,
16:30.425 --> 16:35.072
[SPEAKER_00]: We met that evening, you know, walked around to her car, gave her a hug.
16:35.092 --> 16:36.294
[SPEAKER_00]: We kind of stood there a little bit.
16:36.314 --> 16:37.535
[SPEAKER_00]: We were texting that night.
16:38.076 --> 16:39.178
[SPEAKER_00]: No, yeah, texting that night.
16:39.198 --> 16:40.740
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, I wanted to kiss you.
16:40.760 --> 16:41.261
[SPEAKER_00]: I should have kissed you.
16:41.281 --> 16:44.085
[SPEAKER_00]: It was literally like that high school type of butterfly.
16:44.105 --> 16:46.048
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel she's like, oh, yeah, I wish you were to kiss me.
16:46.068 --> 16:47.991
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, where is that?
16:48.011 --> 16:50.054
[SPEAKER_02]: When you left, it's like, I hugged him.
16:50.114 --> 16:51.456
[SPEAKER_02]: He was supposed to leave the next morning.
16:51.496 --> 16:52.798
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, damn.
16:54.000 --> 16:54.741
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he texted me.
16:54.761 --> 16:56.163
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, I really wanted to kiss you.
16:56.243 --> 16:59.588
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, I wish you had.
16:59.990 --> 17:17.273
[SPEAKER_00]: and that really gave that open the door for me to say all right all right let's go and so yes i had to come back up to work but i mean i think was in the next couple of weeks i hope you guys you should come you should come up and visit in the art and say okay when it goes tomorrow and i was like okay well i need to pack like i need
17:17.523 --> 17:19.245
[SPEAKER_02]: to prepare myself mentally for that.
17:19.305 --> 17:21.067
[SPEAKER_02]: But I was like, you know what, yeah, I should.
17:21.107 --> 17:23.831
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we're really right from there.
17:23.891 --> 17:25.633
[SPEAKER_02]: We just started hitting all the time.
17:25.913 --> 17:26.394
[SPEAKER_00]: All the time.
17:26.454 --> 17:34.404
[SPEAKER_00]: And we said, we were like, could you know, we're just kind of getting the field for each other too, you know, we catching up on all this time.
17:35.385 --> 17:36.967
[SPEAKER_00]: And we did a beach trip.
17:36.987 --> 17:38.169
[SPEAKER_00]: We went to the beach for a week.
17:38.269 --> 17:38.849
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, my turn.
17:39.070 --> 17:41.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Beginning of June, which is yet where we went to school.
17:42.013 --> 17:43.395
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was like kind of a,
17:43.797 --> 17:50.007
[SPEAKER_00]: reconnecting in a place when you had really forged a lot of memories and parts of our relationship.
17:50.748 --> 18:00.383
[SPEAKER_00]: And that week we said, we're like, this week we'll be on the beach and our own Airbnb and doing our thing and having our dogs and we'll be understand more after this week.
18:00.403 --> 18:01.805
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we'll all like together for sure.
18:01.825 --> 18:03.507
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, but you'll get it, you'll understand.
18:03.547 --> 18:05.210
[SPEAKER_00]: And that did, that kind of gave birth.
18:05.230 --> 18:08.094
[SPEAKER_02]: They always say that, he's like, I've always known, but you'll understand one day.
18:08.335 --> 18:09.096
[SPEAKER_02]: You'll get there.
18:09.076 --> 18:31.691
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a different capacity of love I have for her than any person I've ever met so I was like I told her to explain I can't and you know the word unconditional love doesn't do it justice But like you'll see eventually and then after that after June is when we said let's do this Let's be boyfriend girlfriend and we did And you know we're at that stage two in our lives 35 and that's not the influence.
18:31.731 --> 18:37.800
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not the motivation for this Forever commitment of marriage, but
18:37.780 --> 18:49.293
[SPEAKER_00]: It's also just the dream of always had and I'm and when I know what I want and I want it, I go after it, aggressively, sometimes we're back, but aggressively.
18:49.653 --> 18:53.938
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was just important to me to be clear to her that this is what I wanted to do.
18:53.958 --> 18:56.301
[SPEAKER_02]: I have more time that I'm not going to lie.
18:56.441 --> 18:57.042
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
18:57.342 --> 19:04.210
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew that I wanted to come up to New York and like I wanted to date again as adults because yes, we've
19:04.325 --> 19:30.906
[SPEAKER_02]: I've always loved him so much, like in one another, like ever, just he's always been in a separate category in my mind of all other people, like just he just has always held a very special place in my heart, but I wanted to make sure that even though I've known him forever that if we met now, like present day, I would still feel that way about him, regardless of whether I'd known him before or not.
19:30.886 --> 19:35.354
[SPEAKER_02]: So like I came up here and I was, we were spending all this time together doing all this stuff.
19:35.474 --> 19:42.307
[SPEAKER_02]: So I wanted to make sure that there were moments where I felt like, oh, I'm falling in love with this person and I had many of them.
19:42.347 --> 19:43.109
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, okay, good.
19:43.209 --> 19:47.998
[SPEAKER_02]: So we are actually really, do we do really love each other like this?
19:48.198 --> 19:50.903
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not just some romantic thing that we're trying to.
19:51.659 --> 19:52.921
[SPEAKER_00]: as per usual.
19:52.941 --> 19:58.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, when it's perspective is more mature in a, uh, was the duration.
19:58.568 --> 19:59.689
[SPEAKER_00]: I was just, I know, I love you.
19:59.709 --> 20:00.010
[SPEAKER_00]: I love you.
20:00.030 --> 20:18.713
[SPEAKER_01]: I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
20:19.030 --> 20:21.294
[SPEAKER_01]: was it a few months ago or a month ago?
20:21.494 --> 20:24.559
[SPEAKER_00]: A couple weeks ago, yeah, a couple weeks ago.
20:24.619 --> 20:27.564
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you get it to know each other.
20:27.624 --> 20:29.366
[SPEAKER_02]: We already, I already know him.
20:29.427 --> 20:41.646
[SPEAKER_00]: I know his whole, you know, his, like, backstory, history, and being home for the holidays, like, you know, going to see family fit and going to her house and all of her family on Christmas.
20:41.626 --> 20:47.153
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like seeing my family, like every summer, you know, the summer beach trip she would take with her family, I would go.
20:47.433 --> 20:59.908
[SPEAKER_00]: So I know her grandmother well, her parents are like parents to me already and it was just it's beautiful, that can be so convenient, but to her point and I think to her initial hesitation.
20:59.968 --> 21:10.300
[SPEAKER_00]: She was like, I don't want this to be because this is convenient, because, you know, and I know you and we just know each other and yes, we've had our time of part and now we're back together, we can just
21:10.280 --> 21:10.721
[SPEAKER_00]: great.
21:10.821 --> 21:18.097
[SPEAKER_00]: We know we don't have to go through all that fact-finding exploratory process of a new relationship in order to get to this outcome.
21:18.558 --> 21:28.660
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I understood her hesitation there, but that had no influence on this love or this passion and desire to make it committed to make it official.
21:28.994 --> 21:29.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
21:29.495 --> 21:38.806
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like you guys already had that whole backstory even known each other for so long already where it's like once you reconnected like you said You didn't have to go through all that history.
21:38.866 --> 21:56.048
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like you already knew the history and could almost pick up where you left off to see what the future would hold then And so I love that outlook on it and yeah, to a lot of people maybe that seems fast, but like I think given your history and given your age and knowing what you guys want being mature
21:56.028 --> 21:57.911
[SPEAKER_01]: you know individually already.
21:57.931 --> 22:04.523
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you know has just spearheaded, you know, your relationship into where it is now.
22:04.563 --> 22:10.493
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you guys go ring shopping at all or like what was the process like of the ring?
22:11.030 --> 22:12.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we did.
22:12.291 --> 22:12.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
22:12.652 --> 22:18.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I know her well and know that that would be an important
process to be involved in.
22:18.439 --> 22:25.306
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was not me just going out and trying to get something I think she would like, you know, being here in New York City is pretty cool.
22:25.447 --> 22:37.020
[SPEAKER_00]: So we started a chat about that stuff and she started to process what that might look like and you know, we went to the Diamond District in New York City and went to different jewelers here.
22:37.000 --> 22:38.882
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got to be honest, pretty overwhelming.
22:39.102 --> 22:40.664
[SPEAKER_01]: Pretty interesting.
22:40.764 --> 22:40.904
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
22:40.924 --> 22:41.665
[SPEAKER_01]: What's going on there?
22:42.146 --> 22:42.506
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
22:43.687 --> 22:47.692
[SPEAKER_00]: In general, Rink shopping is, but here in New York City was pretty wild.
22:47.892 --> 22:51.135
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, being from North Carolina and that's where all the family is.
22:51.195 --> 22:55.740
[SPEAKER_00]: We were home and our parents contacted jewelers that they know and worked with.
22:55.760 --> 23:00.185
[SPEAKER_00]: So, we went to a great local in North Carolina, local jewelry or bellies.
23:00.365 --> 23:03.008
[SPEAKER_00]: And we had just an incredible experience.
23:02.988 --> 23:19.410
[SPEAKER_00]: with a good family friend who you know that's what he does there so he knew how to show and examples and this version of that version and you know she can speak to it better in my camp but it was really cool after a few hours there when she found the one how it was like the one.
23:19.390 --> 23:28.618
[SPEAKER_02]: I tried on so many, though, like, I just, I almost felt that because we were there and some of his family was there and it was awesome.
23:28.638 --> 23:37.727
[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't chaos, but it was just funny because I, it's such a big moment and it's, I'm very indecisive and I really did not know what I wanted.
23:37.747 --> 23:49.397
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm trying to try not all these different rings and they're all so gorgeous and when you're looking at that many diamonds at the same time, it's like my brain just like,
23:49.377 --> 24:12.634
[SPEAKER_02]: and I'm being introduced to people and I'm just like trying to find the right ring and then the one that I ended up thinking out I never would have I don't know that I would have chosen it if I just like saw it Or yeah, I couldn't have thought of it myself, but I tried it on and I was like, uh, love this one That's so Don't you want to see it?
24:12.914 --> 24:17.241
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I want to see it Can you see it?
24:17.744 --> 24:19.908
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, could you hold it a little closer?
24:20.930 --> 24:21.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty.
24:21.450 --> 24:22.793
[SPEAKER_01]: My gosh.
24:23.153 --> 24:24.335
[SPEAKER_01]: It is so gorgeous.
24:24.396 --> 24:26.179
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the diamonds on the side, too.
24:26.820 --> 24:27.882
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's kind of like a...
24:27.982 --> 24:29.585
[SPEAKER_01]: So pretty.
24:30.506 --> 24:31.748
[SPEAKER_00]: Just love the look of it.
24:32.029 --> 24:33.111
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a parachute.
24:33.131 --> 24:36.376
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know what the ones on the side are called, but yeah, I love it.
24:37.478 --> 24:38.380
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't think we're doing this.
24:38.400 --> 24:39.281
[SPEAKER_02]: On the one that I tried on.
24:39.402 --> 24:41.946
[SPEAKER_02]: So like when he proposed and I saw it, I was...
24:43.073 --> 24:45.959
[SPEAKER_02]: just so excited to have a beautiful day.
24:46.099 --> 24:47.221
[SPEAKER_01]: But so good.
24:47.702 --> 24:48.383
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so happy.
24:48.884 --> 24:53.353
[SPEAKER_00]: It kind of looks a lot like a lotus flower, which is something I have tattooed all over me.
24:53.393 --> 24:58.282
[SPEAKER_00]: Toma, I'm here and represents, you know, growing beautiful out of some mud.
24:58.442 --> 25:03.512
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a indirect, beautiful symbolism that I think worked out well.
25:03.779 --> 25:07.108
[SPEAKER_01]: That's really cool how it connects to your tattoo.
25:07.148 --> 25:08.371
[SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome.
25:08.752 --> 25:11.299
[SPEAKER_01]: And now you guys are going to be connected forever, I love it.
25:12.442 --> 25:15.410
[SPEAKER_01]: So planning the proposal, what was that like?
25:15.530 --> 25:18.919
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe walk me through the proposal from your perspectives.
25:18.899 --> 25:33.903
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I'm gonna miss you just getting in my own way constantly turned that but it was as if I was trying to plan a wedding in my head for this proposal to go on and you know the best thing that I could have done was Going and talking to Mama Donna.
25:34.123 --> 25:34.724
[SPEAKER_00]: That's her mom.
25:34.904 --> 25:35.545
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we call.
25:35.585 --> 25:37.669
[SPEAKER_00]: I call her Mama Donna and associate as to me.
25:37.729 --> 25:44.299
[SPEAKER_00]: She has always been that other mother and To go over there and to show her the ring and to tell her that
25:44.279 --> 25:46.425
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm stressing out about this, I don't know how to choose it.
25:46.445 --> 25:47.548
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he was acting so weird.
25:47.568 --> 25:49.113
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, what are you gonna add in here?
25:49.133 --> 25:55.150
[SPEAKER_02]: Something he was just being sketchy, got disappearing, coming back and being all quiet, and I was like,
25:56.176 --> 26:01.763
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was trying to coordinate this real big grand, all of the friends around.
26:01.864 --> 26:07.471
[SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't know until the moment her family, they have a family farm, some land outside of Raleigh.
26:07.531 --> 26:11.577
[SPEAKER_00]: They like to spend it's a little sanctuary for them with the pond, you can fish and stuff.
26:11.637 --> 26:13.179
[SPEAKER_00]: We take the dogs out there a lot and we're home.
26:13.279 --> 26:15.982
[SPEAKER_00]: I
love it because it's the opposite of New York City.
26:16.183 --> 26:17.965
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just nature.
26:17.945 --> 26:19.888
[SPEAKER_00]: you get to hear nature and smell fresh air.
26:19.908 --> 26:20.508
[SPEAKER_00]: It's amazing.
26:21.550 --> 26:26.196
[SPEAKER_00]: So we spent time out there and I thought that that would be a great place to have the proposal.
26:26.256 --> 26:30.341
[SPEAKER_00]: She was very adamant about wanting it to be pretty private.
26:31.222 --> 26:35.067
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm the type of guy where I wanted to I would have been the Super Bowl halftime show.
26:35.267 --> 26:39.012
[SPEAKER_00]: I was the biggest part of the world.
26:39.032 --> 26:41.075
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I just wanted to shout it from the rooftops.
26:41.195 --> 26:41.235
[SPEAKER_00]: So
26:41.215 --> 26:49.693
[SPEAKER_02]: That warning Natalie, that was so the opposite of me I would have died already right now.
26:49.713 --> 26:50.835
[SPEAKER_00]: We're doing the podcast together.
26:50.875 --> 26:52.419
[SPEAKER_00]: This is out of the comfort zone.
26:52.439 --> 26:53.301
[SPEAKER_00]: This is yeah.
26:53.321 --> 26:56.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to my life to my world Natalie, you're crushing.
26:57.449 --> 26:58.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
26:58.732 --> 27:06.379
[SPEAKER_00]: So we, uh, we, I justified going back out to the farm because I wanted to shoot this gun then I had or something.
27:06.399 --> 27:09.622
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought you got out there and just some target practice and you know what?
27:09.642 --> 27:13.826
[SPEAKER_00]: The farms in a place where the sun sets aren't great, but the sun rise, beautiful.
27:13.886 --> 27:21.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Comes right over the water here and so how about we go out there for a sunrise, have some coffee and it comes up and I'll get to shoot, and that'll be fun.
27:22.093 --> 27:23.274
[SPEAKER_00]: She said oh yeah, okay cool.
27:23.715 --> 27:27.338
[SPEAKER_00]: So talking to her mom about it, she said,
27:27.318 --> 27:43.420
[SPEAKER_00]: because I wanted to do that and have all of her friends out there and after it happened they all come out from over the hill and celebrate together and that was going to have to be on a weekend because you know everybody works and stuff and we were going to have to fly back up to New York go back to work the very next day.
27:43.400 --> 27:46.163
[SPEAKER_00]: And my dad was like, no, no, no, just do it, do it tomorrow.
27:46.203 --> 27:48.045
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll go out there and you do it.
27:48.446 --> 27:50.688
[SPEAKER_00]: You and her private four y'all.
27:51.249 --> 27:53.672
[SPEAKER_00]: She's gonna be, y'all gonna be up so early to get out there.
27:53.732 --> 27:56.134
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, you know, she's not gonna ever make up done.
27:56.174 --> 27:57.756
[SPEAKER_00]: Here to cry, not gonna be right, and all that.
27:57.816 --> 28:02.281
[SPEAKER_00]: So let it be in experience and then capture the moment on another day.
28:02.301
--> 28:08.308
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause then as Tuesday and now you've got Wednesday, Thursday, Friday to go see friends and share and talk about it.
28:08.749 --> 28:12.613
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Friday brought a higher to a photographer,
28:12.593 --> 28:16.446
[SPEAKER_00]: go back and try to recreate the moment.
28:17.409 --> 28:23.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me give you some details on the moment.
28:23.950 --> 28:35.827
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I got this, I'm gonna be so, I'm so excited, I cannot wait to do it, you know, I'm constantly in environments where the butterflies are in the stomach, whether it's forum teaching a Peloton class, forum giving a speech, and I love that feeling.
28:35.867 --> 28:42.616
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm, that's not anxiety or anxiousness, that's excitement and confidence coming out of me.
28:42.656 --> 28:44.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how I interpret and feel about it.
28:44.980 --> 28:47.003
[SPEAKER_00]: Except for this one, except for this.
28:47.203 --> 28:52.270
[SPEAKER_00]: And I, we get there, we get there, the sun is beautiful.
28:52.250 --> 28:55.034
[SPEAKER_02]: The was gorgeous sunrise I've ever seen in my life.
28:55.575 --> 28:56.596
[SPEAKER_00]: It's truly, yeah.
28:56.616 --> 28:56.997
[SPEAKER_00]: It's truly.
28:57.417 --> 29:06.750
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, we're biased from the scene from the setting here, the intention, but truly, but so beautiful that we're sitting here on the dock, watching it.
29:07.391 --> 29:10.516
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm just in awe, and I kind of forget.
29:10.556 --> 29:15.503
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so present with her and just taken it in, that I'm going to propose at this moment.
29:16.004 --> 29:17.386
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're like, oh my god, there's a ring.
29:17.446 --> 29:19.168
[SPEAKER_01]: This is happening.
29:19.587 --> 29:24.214
[SPEAKER_00]: But also, embarrassingly, I quickly learned that sunrise, you have a short window.
29:24.615 --> 29:26.537
[SPEAKER_00]: It's beautiful, it's a whole sky.
29:27.078 --> 29:29.582
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that sun gets up and then all that goes away.
29:29.822 --> 29:33.708
[SPEAKER_00]: It just turned, and this day was kind of overcast, so the sky was incredible, the clouds.
29:33.748 --> 29:36.212
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it just became great clouds.
29:36.192 --> 29:37.173
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm freaking out.
29:37.193 --> 29:38.214
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I missed it.
29:38.234 --> 29:39.055
[SPEAKER_00]: I missed it.
29:39.275 --> 29:40.936
[SPEAKER_00]: She's getting up from there.
29:41.056 --> 29:43.959
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, oh, and she's going to sit back down.
29:43.979 --> 29:45.020
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I go to sit down.
29:45.060 --> 29:47.702
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, no, actually, you get up.
29:47.883 --> 29:48.863
[SPEAKER_00]: And then she starts to get up.
29:48.883 --> 29:50.985
[SPEAKER_00]: And then she starts to realize what's about to happen.
29:51.065 --> 29:55.930
[SPEAKER_00]: And I take the ring out and said what I intended to say, but barely even remember it.
29:55.950 --> 29:58.052
[SPEAKER_00]: She barely even remember me saying it.
29:58.092 --> 30:01.335
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I had this moment where I'm like, I'm this one hand-to-do.
30:01.415 --> 30:03.276
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to open this box.
30:03.296 --> 30:06.199
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm going to try to take this ring out.
30:06.179 --> 30:08.382
[SPEAKER_00]: and water, you know, you've seen all this.
30:08.462 --> 30:10.565
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a lot of variables here.
30:10.685 --> 30:10.926
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
30:10.966 --> 30:12.548
[SPEAKER_00]: You follow through the crack and on.
30:12.688 --> 30:13.609
[SPEAKER_00]: John, please.
30:13.629 --> 30:14.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
30:14.090 --> 30:15.952
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Lord, I'm like, let's just get this on your finger.
30:16.013 --> 30:16.433
[SPEAKER_00]: Say yes.
30:17.354 --> 30:21.160
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was just pure, pure joy, pure emotions.
30:21.540 --> 30:21.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh.
30:21.861 --> 30:24.204
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, she was crying.
30:24.384 --> 30:24.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
30:24.785 --> 30:26.787
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, in shock at first.
30:27.048 --> 30:28.710
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I got.
30:28.690 --> 30:32.615
[SPEAKER_02]: Really, really excited and happy and I was I like jumped on him.
30:32.636 --> 30:35.760
[SPEAKER_02]: I was cleaning on like a monkey and I was just But I would not let go.
30:36.000 --> 30:39.385
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just saying there and then I started just like ugly crying.
30:39.465 --> 30:46.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like So much
30:46.595 --> 30:52.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether it was great, and all that was fantastic, good temperatures, we go back three days later to do it with a photographer.
30:52.825 --> 30:58.935
[SPEAKER_00]: We're there extra extra early, so like four a.m. we're up head and not here, and he's there, and he's awesome.
30:59.235 --> 31:04.023
[SPEAKER_00]: And the one night, it froze in Raleigh while we're there on this trip.
31:04.063 --> 31:10.253
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's 32 degrees, freezing cold outside, fog is rolled in, so fog has covered the whole thing.
31:10.313 --> 31:13.598
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know, none of the issues, for example, like none of it went.
31:13.578 --> 31:30.253
[SPEAKER_00]: I was planned and in terms of Right, I suppose it was supposed to be beautiful with this 100 But it all went exactly it's planned Because they all had the most intentional and important part of it which was Say yes and here we are going So I wanted this getting a plus, I feel like I got it
31:30.368 --> 31:32.791
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, that's so cool.
31:32.811 --> 31:35.495
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you're like, we're in exactly how things would go.
31:35.816 --> 31:37.077
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the shoot, the shoot was cute.
31:37.318 --> 31:38.579
[SPEAKER_00]: She was cute because it was different.
31:38.800 --> 31:41.023
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe this like Hayes, the photographer really liked it.
31:41.183 --> 31:51.998
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's just my personal experience and context to that emotional roller coaster, all for the better, all positive, but me being my toughest critic and being like, God, I mean, you missed them.
31:52.599 --> 31:54.161
[SPEAKER_00]: So don't worry if you'll get it with a car.
31:54.181 --> 31:54.722
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
31:54.742 --> 31:58.587
[SPEAKER_00]: With a car rolled out then, and then just fog, fog.
31:58.567 --> 32:00.389
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, totally.
32:00.509 --> 32:04.312
[SPEAKER_01]: So, is the video that you guys posted on Instagram?
32:04.392 --> 32:08.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that from the photographer or from the original time that you guys are.
32:08.555 --> 32:09.416
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the original.
32:09.436 --> 32:10.717
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, awesome.
32:10.757 --> 32:13.740
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the photos are from... And it doesn't show the cutest part.
32:13.860 --> 32:15.141
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, the cutest part was...
32:15.161 --> 32:16.662
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that was...
32:16.682 --> 32:28.152
[SPEAKER_02]: He was saying all the sweetest things, which I don't think you can hear in that video, but he cut it right before afterwards when I'm like getting so excited and jumping and we jump up and down and he's...
32:28.469 --> 32:31.112
[SPEAKER_02]: clean on to them and then I and start crying.
32:31.132 --> 32:35.798
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just it's a very very cute video that we showed our family and my close friends.
32:36.219 --> 32:38.842
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but, please, please, please clarify that.
32:38.922 --> 32:43.408
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Instagram, helping on Instagram is real or whatever, but this is very real.
32:43.568 --> 32:47.353
[SPEAKER_00]: This was that, that would be too cringe if we stayed.
32:47.814 --> 32:49.836
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
32:49.956 --> 32:58.307
[SPEAKER_01]: I looked very real in genuine.
32:58.287 --> 33:05.706
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I was like, it was to capture it because I just sent my phone up and just recorded it and it was like 20 minutes of Yeah, that's awesome.
33:05.726 --> 33:12.162
[SPEAKER_01]: So Natalie, were you pretty shocked or did you kind of have an idea that something was about to happen since you had gone ring shopping?
33:12.766 --> 33:16.532
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think I knew that he was going to propose soon.
33:16.552 --> 33:35.240
[SPEAKER_02]: I was pretty certain that he was going to do it on our trip home to Raleigh, but, and then that morning, I'm not the biggest morning person, and I didn't have makeup on, my hair was not so, I was like, I don't think he would do it when I'm just kind of disheveled and half awake and whatever, but I was in a really good mood, thank God.
33:35.801 --> 33:42.030
[SPEAKER_02]: So we went there, everything, yeah, everything was good,
33:42.010 --> 33:44.733
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said out loud, I was like, oh my
god, I see a bunch of repose.
33:45.294 --> 33:51.141
[SPEAKER_02]: Because he was in the car, getting his little camera stand and all the things, and I was just like, okay.
33:51.521 --> 33:57.108
[SPEAKER_02]: But then when he didn't do it during the sunrise, I was like, oh, he's not doing it now, because it would have happened.
33:57.128 --> 34:04.116
[SPEAKER_02]: At least I could hear and just flustered that I was like, I should probably sit back down.
34:04.136 --> 34:06.979
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I need to be sitting back down for a minute.
34:07.119 --> 34:11.865
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he did, so I was like, yeah.
34:11.845 --> 34:23.001
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she's sweet, she's sweet, she knows she definitely is, but yeah, and I grew her ball in there by letting it get not pretty in the background and then doing it then, right when you think it's not going to happen.
34:23.121 --> 34:23.722
[SPEAKER_01]: So good.
34:23.742 --> 34:35.037
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, even with the dog and the lake and everything, it's still so pretty and so scenic and beautiful and something that's like special to you guys because it was like in both your home towns like on the property and everything which is awesome.
34:35.178 --> 34:40.485
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's so glad he did it the way he did
34:40.465 --> 34:41.607
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's very.
34:42.027 --> 34:44.931
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean we're proud and I'm so freaking proud.
34:44.951 --> 34:58.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, I want to shout it at the rooftops that This is my person that we're doing it that this is happening, but still at the end of the day it was all just it was for us It's for us, and that's the moment memory will cherish forever.
34:58.429 --> 35:02.895
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so thankful to have captured it, but the stress wasn't in like
35:02.875 --> 35:14.763
[SPEAKER_00]: making sure we capture it to tell the world it was in just making sure that our experience is as beautiful as I want her to know that I see her as an and that and that was really important to me to fall.
35:15.404 --> 35:18.812
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was so important that I appreciate Mama Donna for getting me out of my own way.
35:18.832 --> 35:20.175
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh yeah, good job, Mama.
35:21.725 --> 35:28.515
[SPEAKER_02]: She did that to me before when we reconnected before we went and got a drink when he was, you know, back in town for the speech or whatever.
35:29.036 --> 35:31.940
[SPEAKER_02]: I was so nervous to see him that I almost failed.
35:32.401 --> 35:35.486
[SPEAKER_02]: I, which I had done before, tried to hang out previously.
35:35.506 --> 35:39.031
[SPEAKER_02]: He's tried a couple of times and I would get so nervous that I'd be like, I can't do it.
35:39.051 --> 35:39.431
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't do it.
35:39.451 --> 35:39.852
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't do it.
35:39.832 --> 35:45.121
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I almost did it again and my mom was like, Natalie, just got this Logan.
35:45.321 --> 35:46.583
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fun, just go.
35:46.963 --> 35:48.266
[SPEAKER_02]: And my best friend said the same thing.
35:48.306 --> 35:51.691
[SPEAKER_02]: She was like, if you bail on this, I'm going to be so pissed off at you, go.
35:51.711 --> 35:52.693
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, oh yeah, I'm getting it.
35:52.733 --> 35:55.718
[SPEAKER_02]: No, like, because I just, I guess I was so nervous.
35:55.838 --> 35:56.479
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know why.
35:56.519 --> 35:58.482
[SPEAKER_02]: Because as soon as I saw them, hey.
35:59.221 --> 36:00.823
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, it's just him.
36:01.004 --> 36:01.685
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.
36:01.745 --> 36:03.988
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that your mom's your sounding board for both of you guys.
36:04.008 --> 36:05.390
[SPEAKER_01]: That's really cool.
36:05.410 --> 36:08.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so this just happened a few weeks ago.
36:08.035 --> 36:19.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, it's probably early to ask, but have you guys thought about a wedding, a time of year, date, date, date, any thing like that?
36:19.993 --> 36:21.415
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what are your thoughts?
36:22.087 --> 36:23.509
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh gosh, here we go.
36:23.549 --> 36:25.332
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see, you're coming out of the show.
36:25.352 --> 36:26.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Questions, oh my goodness.
36:26.655 --> 36:29.078
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm not stressed.
36:29.099 --> 36:30.601
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not even going on that path.
36:30.721 --> 36:37.953
[SPEAKER_02]: But I've always pictured a fall wedding, but it's a little bit, I mean, I don't think realistically, that we could make it happen this fall.
36:37.973 --> 36:38.734
[SPEAKER_02]: That's too soon.
36:38.774 --> 36:42.721
[SPEAKER_02]: And but I also don't want to wait until next fall.
36:42.761 --> 36:45.225
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm a little bit,
36:45.610 --> 36:46.712
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got to figure it out.
36:47.112 --> 36:48.774
[SPEAKER_00]: We're in that opinion.
36:48.795 --> 36:55.224
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're in this page where when we first did got engaged, it was like, hey, let's make it happen this year.
36:55.364 --> 36:56.405
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go, let's go.
36:56.826 --> 37:00.711
[SPEAKER_00]: But then, you know, reality sets in of where are we gonna do it?
37:00.952 --> 37:01.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Who are we inviting?
37:02.013 --> 37:11.867
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're kind of in that stage now thinking that through and I think it's been already the realization that we should probably fake this fully through, not rush it.
37:11.927 --> 37:12.789
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the moment.
37:12.889 --> 37:15.212
[SPEAKER_00]: A biggest moment, the celebration of us.
37:15.192 --> 37:22.320
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I think it'll probably be next year, spring, summer, fall, I'm coming next year.
37:22.340 --> 37:34.713
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a sweet person, so like, I just really don't get here in the summer because I will swell when makeup off and I'm going to be nervous all sweat and I
just, I feel like summer will be a lot of time that I just don't know if I can handle.
37:34.733 --> 37:37.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we really like the mountains and we like the mountains in North Carolina.
37:37.977 --> 37:39.799
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, North Carolina.
37:40.252 --> 37:45.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Just awesome, can ask me, and from the beach to, you know, the city to the mountains.
37:45.277 --> 37:46.979
[SPEAKER_00]: And so yeah, we'll see.
37:47.159 --> 37:47.699
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice.
37:48.060 --> 37:49.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, aren't you guys?
37:49.381 --> 37:51.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Bring that phase of like, yeah.
37:51.703 --> 37:57.649
[SPEAKER_00]: List, you know, writing all the names down, and being like, this would be massive.
37:58.050 --> 38:00.472
[SPEAKER_00]: So, or working through it, chipping away.
38:01.273 --> 38:02.654
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was my next question.
38:02.774 --> 38:06.478
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you thinking you want a pretty big wedding or something small?
38:07.015 --> 38:23.539
[SPEAKER_02]: At first I wanted it to be very small, but the more we're getting into it, and everybody's so excited, I'm like, I actually, there's so many people that I want to invite, it's not going to be huge.
38:23.519 --> 38:25.783
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't think that desire is a big wedding.
38:25.863 --> 38:32.936
[SPEAKER_00]: We're just very blessed and lucky to have so many people that love us individually and love us together.
38:33.357 --> 38:42.473
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a whole nother like 30 group of people that love us and that are friends from that childhood that are still in Raleigh and that are still close friends like her.
38:42.453 --> 39:03.634
[SPEAKER_00]: best friend is still in rally so it's it's a really cool catalyst to reconnecting it's almost like a reunion of childhood friends so that that lens that aspect is really cool because they're both the same for both of us so it's gonna turn into the most epic fun wedding ever
39:05.605 --> 39:07.989
[SPEAKER_01]: I like to hear that that's really fun.
39:08.009 --> 39:28.187
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it and probably back by your hometown and yeah I love that you guys are just like digging into your roots that you already have and like truly making that special and like you said inviting the people who aren't like no you guys as a couple I think is important and also a good tip if you're trying to
39:28.505 --> 39:32.832
[SPEAKER_01]: cross people off of your invite list too, so yeah, I get that.
39:32.932 --> 39:43.871
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a tough thing to do, especially when you guys do have so much history throughout your life, just in all the people that you've met old and new friends too, and yeah, I'm sure that's hard to keep it.
39:44.592 --> 39:50.361
[SPEAKER_01]: These are a big fun wedding sounds really fun with all your fans and all the people that you love.
39:50.482 --> 39:51.964
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's going to be great.
39:51.944 --> 39:55.834
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not a no stress because like these are the best problems to have.
39:56.034 --> 39:57.297
[SPEAKER_00]: What an exciting thing.
39:57.357 --> 39:57.959
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
39:57.979 --> 39:59.603
[SPEAKER_00]: We potentially stressed over.
39:59.643 --> 40:00.044
[SPEAKER_00]: We won't.
40:00.124 --> 40:00.786
[SPEAKER_00]: We refuse to.
40:00.826 --> 40:04.235
[SPEAKER_00]: But like I think that's the blessing in it all.
40:04.355 --> 40:05.478
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what a good problem to have.
40:05.498 --> 40:07.202
[SPEAKER_00]: You have so many people that you love.
40:07.262 --> 40:08.004
[SPEAKER_00]: I do that.
40:08.024 --> 40:09.227
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to have more.
40:09.562 --> 40:11.364
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
40:11.464 --> 40:12.826
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that so much.
40:13.066 --> 40:26.143
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you guys are very new to the wedding planning process but something that I do ask my couples who come on the show is do you have any advice for other couples who are planning their weddings right now?
40:26.423 --> 40:28.546
[SPEAKER_01]: Who might be in a similar boat that you are?
40:28.586 --> 40:31.289
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I need the advice.
40:31.850 --> 40:33.612
[SPEAKER_01]: You need the advice, okay, I'll-
40:34.739 --> 40:38.024
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm in need of a position to give advice for that.
40:38.044 --> 40:41.209
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, so we're gonna let it go.
40:41.229 --> 40:42.831
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're literally reading all of the books.
40:42.891 --> 40:47.919
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like advice on how to do this or, you know, yeah, so everything else.
40:48.359 --> 40:58.975
[SPEAKER_00]: What would be, well, to ask you a question, what would be the most impactful, most valuable piece of advice you've heard here on the podcast from folks in this process or from your own.
40:59.140 --> 40:59.801
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
41:00.442 --> 41:20.575
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think what most people say is, you know, especially I'm sure like with you guys too you have a lot of people who are involved or friends or family and everything and everyone's going to have opinions on like the date you pick might not work or some people, you know, but it's like when it comes down to it, it's your day and
41:20.555 --> 41:42.293
[SPEAKER_01]: Even though it's hard to like block out all the noise it's like people are gonna have opinions that are gonna be thrown at you But you have to just like I'm really dial it back to be like what do we want as a couple not What does everybody else want for us so I think that's that's probably the main thing to just really do what you guys want to do
41:42.273 --> 41:47.360
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it, keep the main thing, the main thing, and the main thing happens because we're to get, yeah.
41:47.380 --> 41:56.233
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what she's reiterated numerous times because you do, you want it to be the celebration, you want everybody to be there and have a great time to
celebrate you.
41:56.333 --> 42:01.821
[SPEAKER_00]: And just as good host of any event, you want people to know that their experience is considered for sure.
42:02.983 --> 42:03.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
42:03.464 --> 42:10.474
[SPEAKER_00]: We reiterated right to each other, but this is for us and about us and we're going to
42:10.623 --> 42:16.712
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's all we've got to do all this stuff, you know, I think that's where you're going to do it.
42:16.732 --> 42:25.124
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, we do have some very lovely, strong, powerful, opinionated women in our lives.
42:25.605 --> 42:26.146
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
42:27.588 --> 42:32.415
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're here for it to hear, but it's never the, this is what you should do.
42:32.655 --> 42:35.259
[SPEAKER_00]: It's you can have your ideas and opinions and thoughts, please give.
42:35.640 --> 42:37.322
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
42:37.538 --> 42:38.780
[SPEAKER_00]: But thank you.
42:38.800 --> 42:40.142
[SPEAKER_00]: That's great.
42:40.363 --> 42:40.643
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
42:40.663 --> 42:41.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course.
42:41.284 --> 42:41.605
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
42:42.406 --> 42:42.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh.
42:42.847 --> 42:43.648
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it so much.
42:44.109 --> 42:44.890
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
42:44.930 --> 42:50.920
[SPEAKER_01]: So as we close out, maybe it tells us a little bit more about career, any upcoming projects.
42:50.940 --> 42:55.548
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what do you guys have to look forward to, like, Natalie and know you just move to New York?
42:55.608 --> 42:57.671
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what is life in New York like?
42:58.172 --> 42:59.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe give us a scoop on all that.
42:59.982 --> 43:02.384
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's a great question.
43:02.605 --> 43:04.747
[SPEAKER_00]: Workwise, a lot of really exciting stuff at Peloton.
43:05.067 --> 43:06.969
[SPEAKER_00]: Really cool stuff coming up at Peloton.
43:07.890 --> 43:10.092
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm really leaning into my fitness.
43:10.152 --> 43:12.054
[SPEAKER_00]: I love fitness, obviously, so I do for a living.
43:12.695 --> 43:17.320
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm all about this high rock stuff, so I'm doing some high rock phrases, Natalie's gotten into it a little bit too.
43:17.400 --> 43:27.390
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I did a few or quite a little tiny little fitness competition last weekend, or this fast weekend Saturday with him, which is like, oh, you.
43:27.877 --> 43:32.866
[SPEAKER_02]: a big deal for me because I, that's awesome, so that was fun.
43:33.206 --> 43:38.816
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, we're just, as far as like the future, it's kind of, yet to be determined.
43:39.557 --> 43:41.661
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm just kind of focusing on wedding planning right now.
43:41.961 --> 43:42.983
[SPEAKER_02]: And...
43:43.486 --> 43:43.927
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see.
43:44.147 --> 43:45.550
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll kind of see where we end up.
43:45.610 --> 43:49.516
[SPEAKER_00]: I tell you
this all the time, you know, there is a vision and a plan.
43:49.597 --> 43:51.340
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not this living quarter mile a time.
43:51.380 --> 43:53.203
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a vision and a plan of the future.
43:53.263 --> 43:56.028
[SPEAKER_00]: And we set ourselves up well for it.
43:56.128 --> 44:01.778
[SPEAKER_00]: But I, you know, I could be anywhere doing anything.
44:02.599 --> 44:06.085
[SPEAKER_00]: The world could be fallen apart around us.
44:06.807 --> 44:09.492
[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm here, if I'm doing it with her, all good.
44:09.833 --> 44:10.314
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all good.
44:10.775 --> 44:18.150
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are, however, we are, however we are, I'm never complacent, but I'm always happy.
44:18.370 --> 44:20.675
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm always happy and fulfilled.
44:20.695 --> 44:23.120
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, it probably stresses people out here.
44:23.180 --> 44:25.845
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know what they're doing, and I know what's going on.
44:26.315 --> 44:33.486
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a few different versions of clarity, but either in no matter where we go, they're going to be awesome.
44:33.506 --> 44:34.788
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be awesome.
44:34.808 --> 44:34.948
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
44:35.088 --> 44:42.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell me delusionally optimistic sometimes I am, but with this, I just know, I just know that whatever we do next is, that's going to be great.
44:42.640 --> 44:49.310
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, it's, yeah, I love up here in New York, but people who raise kids up here and do, I don't know how they do it.
44:49.511 --> 44:50.432
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a wild.
44:50.412 --> 44:52.555
[SPEAKER_01]: stuff, yeah, for sure.
44:52.575 --> 45:01.867
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that so much that you guys are in it for the long haul, no matter what life throws at you, no matter where your location is, what your jobs are.
45:01.987 --> 45:08.996
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, you know that just by having each other like it's all going to work out and you guys are in it together.
45:09.037 --> 45:18.529
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that attitude so much and I think, you know, that's just going to propel you guys forward in the future and your marriage and your relationship together
45:18.948 --> 45:20.110
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, great outlook.
45:20.150 --> 45:21.353
