Hello! You've reached Leave a Message with me, Ali. And me, G. This is a podcast where we help the galleys in need. Whether you're a serial first data or you just got... Guys, my main feeling right now is relief. Because can you fucking imagine? If you'd have had to have walked in there.

If we'd come back here and I just have to say, FBI are fucking sleeping on us. We were right about everything. We were right about Brasbury Blanc. We were right about everything. No, it's actually crazy that you managed to guess that. We actually have some audio from last week before we started recording where he basically swindled him.

He must have gone to see my parents. There's honestly no, otherwise he's just... Which set of parents? And why would he lie about cod? He's cooking cod. Would your mum not cook cod? No, my mum wouldn't cook. They would have gone out.

To the Browsery. There is one Brasery, but I don't think there's cod on the menu. Brasery Blanc, let's look. I know the Brasery. Okay, look. Brands Rue Blanc, what is there called on the menu? He definitely said cod and creme brule. He's picking the weirdest meals.

It's so, it's so funny because it's like, you've rehearsed your bullshit lie about the train line. That's not going to fly with me, my friend. It's not going to add up with me. But like, this is what we can't quite confuse, like I can't understand. Because we're like, where and what, like, are you actually doing? Do you know what I mean?

Like, why are you needing? Unless it is just seeing your parents, I guess. But even that, but then I was thinking, you know, my sister called me the other day. Oh, God. I think, I think, Royalhood must have already seen them because I think then

my mum told my sister to tell me to get my nails done nicely. Oh my God, pan-fried north Atlantic cod fillet. Yeah. Okay, wait, cram brulee, wait. Stop it. I feel sick. Crembrilet, creamy vanilla custard.

No! They went to Bras Blonde. That boy will put me in an early grave. Yeah, babe. Like, yeah, babe. That last minute.com. Yeah, babe. That is wild.

Like, I couldn't believe how last minute. it all was when I then learned the facts and the truth of it all. That's how he lives his life. That's why often my heart rate is high. Yeah, you've got a high cortisol. Because I actually, I look at him, I think, that's how you're choosing to move through the world, does it? It's mad.

Sorry, before you tell us the story, we've got a present for you. Oh my God, guys, I've already sobbed this morning because I walked into this. He just won't make you sob. Or maybe it will. Oh, no. Put it on. You have to put it on. Really, guys.

For the audience, it is a lovely blue t-shirt. that says girlfriend crossed out, fiancé. It's perfect. I think it's lovely and chic. Me too. I think it's chic. I think... Coming from the person who literally rinsed me for my bios,

you're telling me this is she. I can't wait to get you so much merch that says girlfriend crossed out and feels like like pillows. I'm thinking like bikinis for the hen. I'm thinking... If you were this person, I'm so sorry, but you know when people like change everything, like Mrs. W to be or like... Future Mrs. W.

By the way, I'm not going to be Mrs. W. No, true. I need to make that abundantly clear. I'm not changing my name. Well, it's good because it's like, you know, the mad and moribal thing. Like, you can just switch it round, like, M, W, whatever. You can just get it wrong or right.

It doesn't matter. Sorry, wait, let me put this on. Yeah, get that on. I don't know why you were looking at me as if you didn't have to. You have to put it on. That's it. Get it over the head.

Good. Good. No, you kind of rock it. No, you're rocking it. She looks amazing. And it really, and you're wearing blue jeans. This is perfect. Hi, it's hilarious.

You look amazing. Because you are no longer a girlfriend. I am a fiancé, yeah. You're a fiancé. I love it. It's brilliant. Right, tell us everything starts to finish. Can I just say it?

Mademorable M.M. To flip it around Wicked Witch. That's actually going to have to be the theme tune of my fucking wedding. I'm not joking now. Everyone that comes in is going to have to go, madame moribble, but we'll have to, you know, rehash it. Yes. Okay, good.

Get it on the Pinterest board. Oh, we must start. A-SAP. Okay, so Rour and I went to Mexico for a holiday. And listen, obviously, you know, we had done the work. We knew I've been with Rour for nine years. Like, I wouldn't say it was, you know, a sudden surprise. No, but can I now say, having spoken to him, it wasn't so certain as we thought.

I see that now. I can see clearly now. Because that boy... No, no. I, guys, he nearly didn't get the ring. And imagine we'd gone on holiday and he didn't have that ring. When I said, did you've been emailing the hotel and he said no? I thought, hell and horror.

Yeah, babe. That's like when you said he's in a hotel room's planning. He was planning nothing. Nothing. He was chasing his tail. There is zero planning. He was to the wire. Yeah, babe.

Okay, go on, go for it. Okay, so we basically got there on. We actually had a fucking nightmare on the way there because we took off, got on hour and a half into the flight and then the captain came out and said there's an electrical fault on the plane we have to go back to Gatwick. Imagine you're in the air when this happens. In the air. Did you shit yourself? Where the pilot came out. I luckily actually was in the toilet when he first came out because I would have had a... He came out. He came out. He came out. I came out. He was in the toilet. Also, there was no townway so he literally went through. Oh,

because it's an electrical file. And I was in the loo and then I came out and we were on the front row and it looked at me and he was stood right there and I was like, oh my fuck. I thought someone had died. I thought that someone on the plane, you know, sometimes when... Yes. Yeah. Or that we were like, you know, being hijacked. I'm guessing it's because you were over the ocean. Too, no, like just, just about to get there. And he was like, basically, we can't carry this over the Atlantic. Fine. He said, yeah, there's an electrical fault with the plane. We've got it 90 minutes in. That is petrifying. Petrifying. Also, kind of jarring. Like, also, Raw was so hungover. I cannot. We had had had a fight that morning because we had agreed. He was

like deathly hungover. He'd been at a wedding the night before. He'd driven, the wedding was in Salisbury. He'd driven to the wedding, driven to Gatwick. I, famously late to everything, was actually early at Gatwick because we had agreed that we would get there at whatever time. I can't even remember. He was half an hour late. So we were on the phone having a Barney. Did you just go through live your life? No, no, of course not. No, because I had all his shit in my bag and my bag was too heavy. Anyway, he comes in the airport. Literally, when I say he had the entire contents of his rock sack in his hand. I don't know why. He's walking through the airport like this with all of his shit in his hands. And it was so, the ring at the bottom of his bag. Literally.

Yeah. So anyway, we get on this plane. We'll have it, by the time we got the plane, to be fair, he was fine. Anyway, we go back to Gatwick. We sat in Gatwick for like five hours. They put us on a late. It was honestly a nightmare. And like, by the time then we got to the hotel, it was like two, we were meant to land at six. We got there at like two in the morning. Yeah. And like, babe, when I say we were like this, it was so bad. Yeah. Bad. Yeah. Anyway, we got. We got. there and it was beautiful and the hotel was unbelievable like the service was amazing the food was amazing like i just really you know love mexico just kind of i have been there once before but like the people are just everything is my pleasure and i think my pleasure fucking hell why is it your

pleasure to do that for me fine pleasure me away i'm glad to beat you i'm glad that you're so the first day monday i actually had really bad diarrhea sorry t n i but i really had the shit like quite badly and then We were knackered. We obviously got there so late. We were jet lags. Obviously, kind of thought not going to be today. Tuesday, also, Rural didn't really sleep, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday night. Well, he had so much to do. Precisely. He hadn't done anything. Yeah, babe. I'm dead.

Tuesday, he had a runny tummy. He was kind of like, I wouldn't say, grandpie, but he was a bit anxious those first few days. To be expected. He couldn't really relax. Was still working? Like, would go back to the room to work. He wasn't working. He wasn't working. But he would always like, we'd be at the pool.

He's like, I just need to go and send an email. I was like, can you not send that on your phone? He's like, no, no, no, I need to go back to the room. Like, he was just like, you know, got that energy. Anyway, I genuinely thought he would have done it before. I did not think that he would have just got there on the fucking fly and just been doing that. I thought it was done. I never in my wildest dreams thought that he would be planning as he was there.

He scoped, guys. He did like a site visit. Basically, yeah. He thought, well, I'll just get there and I'll just figure it out. He did a record. He didn't like the beach. No, to be fair, I actually, I was right. He was right.

Yeah. Because there were too many people there. And seaweed. A lot of seaweed. And a lot of lucky, lucky men. More than normal. Really? And you don't want that.

Not now, sir, for the D&G sunnies. Not now. Your pleasure to move away. Thank you. I'm having a moment. I'm having a moment. Anyway, on the Wednesday, he was really adamant that we had a massage on the Wednesday.

But we woke up on Wednesday. And again, he hadn't really slept. was anxious. He had the, he had then the shits. So anyway, I thought, can't be today. We were in the sea. He was saying how tired he was. I was thinking, can't be too. Anyway, we went to put the massage on Tuesday. And the guy was like, do you want to have a couple's massage? I was like, oh my God, yeah, let's have a couples massage. That's so lovely. And he was like, no, no, I don't think we should have a couple's massage. And I was like, why would you not want to have a couple's massage with me, you freak? He was like, sometimes it's nice to just have

your own room. I was like, okay. Okay. And I was like, no, no, I think it's nice. And he was like, and I said, that is so suss. Why would it be nice to have your own room? I genuinely did not think that's, that was that he was going to have a fake massage. Yeah. Why would I have thought that?

Well, what else would you have thought it was suss for that he was going to get a happy ending or something? I don't know. I really did not. I really did not. I really did not. But what other reason would you be so adamant not to be in a room with you? Because he had things to do. Yeah, he had things to do.

Now I see that. So Al forces him, forces him into the room for the couple's master. So Rawls' plan was then unraveling a little. Because it was going to be a fake massage. He wasn't going to go in at all. You were going to have one. And he was going to say to me, I just really had diarrhea. I had to leave the spot early, go back to the room.

Anyway, obviously we ended up having the spar together. And it was actually really funny because just before he was like, I'm going to pass out. I'm so tired. I literally could see him. You know, when they asked you to turn on your back, he was like this. Don't know, see like this. Wide awake. The panic.

Imagine. My sister was so. finally she was like, that must have been the worst fucking massage of your entire life. Awesome. Anyway, afterwards, I was like so dozy and dopey and like, oh, whatever. And then afterwards I was walking really slowly. I was walking back to the room. And I was like, there was a little cafe that you could like...

No, he first said, he finished the massage together. Yeah. Then he said, I've got to run back to the room. He said, I've got to run back to the room. I've got funny tummy. I need to poop. And because he had had diarrhea, you didn't think anything of it. Perfect setup, to be honest.

It was brilliant. Anyway, I went to get an iced tea. I was, he was running. And I thought, fucking hell, can't be that. Macle-Hartman. What are you eating, Jesus. Then you probably thought, I'll give it a minute to get to the room.

Give it a minute. Oh, no rush. No rush. No rush at all. You know, I got my iced tea. I got my chocolate. La, la, la. I'm walking back to the robe.

I genuinely was in another world. Like, I was in my hot, like, bikini, my horrible little sarong. Oh, no, it was a cute sarong. Sweet. But, like, you know, I, you can, oily hair. Like, you can tell, like, in the video, like, you can tell I didn't know. Like, I was a mess.

Anyway, I opened the door and like it was really, really beautiful. They'd like made it all like, like, rose petals on the floor and on the bed. There was like a heart with like rose petals and he'd like printed off like loads of pictures of us throughout the years. Oh my God, I got chills. And like there were some flowers and balloons. And like then there was like champagne and strawberries and like pictures everywhere. It was so beautiful. And then because we had this like little like bit outside that led to this like private pool.

so then the flowers, the rose petals, like, led to the door. And I could see him outside, and he obviously couldn't see me. And he was, like, really, like, moving from one foot to the other like this, like nervously. Also, you were sobbing? I was sobbing. As soon as I opened the door, I literally sobbed. Because I thought, really, Rory Wyatt's done this. Sweet.

And, um... I love that we had the same reaction for his dreamers. Yeah. Yeah, literally. Yeah. On the set, there's a... There are some, I don't know what you call the streamers. Yeah.

Gold streamers. Tucky gold streamers. No, they're not tacky. They match my ring. They do. Well, that's what I thought. They're almost as glistening as you're really. It's perfect.

And it says happy engagement above our heads. And there are some very sweet balloons. Many balloons which made Izzy lightheaded. I bear. I bet. Yeah. No, because like it's so like thoughtful. Yeah.

And like, you know. Sorry. Izzy's actually killing. It is. You don't get that every day. And like, you forget, you know, how special it is to be loved by the people that you love. Yeah. And anyway, then I walked outside and he obviously was a little nervous and he just got down on one knee and he said, well, you marry me.

And I was sobbing. And then you were so cute. You were like, of course I will. Crying, crying. And you didn't even look at the ring. I didn't. I did think, brother, it wasn't even in the box. So he's reckless.

This boy will put me. In an early way My cortisol when he tells the story of his movements with the ring prior This is him like this He's just like that

By a pool By a pool By a pool I just think no Too scary He was like this And I grabbed the ring Because I was obviously like

You know I was like crying So I just hugged him straight away But luckily I got it Like If I dropped it We'd be in a fucking wild of pain Anyway

I was sobbing And then I looked at the ring And I was like And I was genuinely like Oh my fucking God That is Better than you'd ever thought Yeah

it's wild it's wild so yeah and then we just like had a swim that night it was late we were we were behind so it was like midnight here so we just like had a really like silly evening then we like went in the pool just like swaned around like i made love no we didn't even make love did not in the pool no not in the pool no actually we didn't make love that night really yeah he was fuck babe that boy when i tell he he was desperate to get to bed because he hadn't slept for three nights and now he could And then he thought, I'll kick my feet up now. Yeah. Make love another day.

We've got our whole life to make love. It's not tonight. It's not going to be tonight. It's all it wasn't tonight. Yeah. So anyway, then we had like, we were like funning around in the pool. And then actually that night there was like a really sweet. Like there was like a buffet outside with like, they were making like fresh cassidias and like fresh tacos.

And there was like this Mexican show and like it was really fun. We just were like, it was just silly and fun. Did you have your little mescal margarita that way? Yeah, I did. I babe. You got a bit pissed. I don't know actually. actually what is wrong with me. This is why

if I stopped drinking for a week, I had three sips of that thing. I thought I could go clubbing right now. I'm drunk. Honestly, I could stay up to the early hours of the morn. Love. Well, you were high on life, babe. I was high on life. That first night was really, really, really special. Yeah, and then, oh, well, this is so funny,

because obviously, in, like, in Mexico, you get all the American TV. And did you ever watch Boshed? I loved Boshed. Right. Obviously, every girl I've ever known knows about Boshed. Yeah. Raw discovered botch because every night at 9, 10 and 11

they would play three episodes back to back of botch babe. He loved it. He was the second, the night after he was like, it was like 10 to 10. He was like botched starting in 10 minutes.

He was addicted to botched. It's a great show. That's how he knew it was Met Gala Monday because always in between, it was on E. Oh, and he was getting all the ads from Meg Gala Monday. All the ads. When we landed a, he said today's Met Gala Monday.

Babe. He is obsessed with, there's now, do you know there's botched by nature. You prefers that. Oh, I bet. Botch by nature better. Because that's like you were just born that way. Yeah. And they're helping you. And they're helping you. Yeah. Botch, bouch, because it got to the point where it was so silly because it was like,

do they still make that? I don't know if Bocch did. I love to the surgeons. The blonde guy and the blonde guy and the, yeah. Yeah, loved them. You know, the blonde guy is married to a real housewife of Beverly Hills. Yeah. Anyway, that was that really. And then we just had really, it was like, we didn't tell it. Well, obviously we told everyone the following day. So that would have been Thursday. Yes. But we like, we just like sort of lived our lives for like six days on our own and it was just really nice to just like soak it in and just be in love and just for everyone that we love to know. And now here I am wearing a girlfriend's crossed out fiancé.

And the world knows and the post has gone viral and it's brilliant. We couldn't have wished for better. Can't believe it. It's weird because it's like the thing is I, having love. liked many, many people's engagement posts. It's quite strange. I think we just all love love. Yeah.

It's just a really nice, you know it's just such a nice moment in like someone's life and a couple's like journey and like it's special and everyone wants to celebrate it. It's brilliant. Can't believe. Well, I can't believe it. But yeah. I keep saying that I keep going, can you believe? And everyone's like, I mean, yeah.

I don't believe nine years you've been talking about it for three months. It's weird though because like this is what I think I was, I've been thinking about this a lot because as everyone knows, you know, I had a wobble before because I was having an identity crisis and then I realise actually often this applies to anything in life. The thought of something is much worse than the actual something. Like I think... Because you spiral and you like think about how it's going to like change you. It's like it's a ring and like it's like getting married to the person. Even getting married. Do you what I mean? Really. If you're doing it right, nothing will change. Yeah. Like if you're if you're living aligned and you're in

a relationship that like allows you to fully just be yourself, really nothing will change. Yeah. You'll just have some nice jewelry. Do you know what I mean? So. And I've had a big party. You won't even have to, you don't even have to change your name anymore. Don't even have to change your name anymore.

My sister texts me being like, are you going to be Mrs. Wyatt? And I was like, no, obviously I'm not going to do that. She was like, God, I just got scared. We wouldn't have the same. I got sad and we wouldn't have the same last name anymore. How sweet. Is she married or not? No, she's younger than me.

She's four years younger than me. But when she gets married, she's going to keep the name as well. She would keep her name. I said I would just, Raw and I've talked about this a lot. I would put it on my passport only when, but number one. Macintosh Wyatt is fine for double barrel.

I'm not going to ever use that. MacWire? Ever. But would your kids not be both. Like me? Yeah, they would. Well, if it was up to me, I would. Double barrels.

But then I would just put it on my passport. But no one will ever know. Like when that happens, no one will know. No, no. No, no. No, no. Do you remember that at school when teachers would come back and have different names?

And you'd be like, you want me to call you that now? I can't go ahead. Do you know what? Hey, I'm so sorry to say this because I know people do this a lot. On LinkedIn when it says like their married name and then it says nay. Ney-E as in like Bored. You know when people do like, I don't know, like let's say your name.

A.K.A. Basically, yeah. Like as in, have you never seen that? I never. So let's say your name was like Georgina Wyatt. It would be like Georgina Wyatt and then in brackets it says nay. N-E-E, like the French for born, and then four-side read. That's like all I see.

That's weird. Weird. But I guess makes sense. Well, it's hard, I think, if you're professional and everyone, yeah. And you're searching a maiden name and they're not coming up and you're racking your brain. I know. You don't know, you're not a breast. You're not personal with them.

My friends that have got married have said the only thing that a name changes is fucking admin. Do you know how many things you have to change? Oh, it's a tricky one. It's not for me. It's not for me. It's not for me. It's not for me. But I get it.

And I know a lot of girls that have done it is almost like a gift to their partner. because their partner like cares. I genuinely only care for the sake of my children because I think travelling with a different name. Yeah. In my experience with my mum is a bit irritating. Yeah. Because they think you're being trafficked.

I'm sure. So now. It must be so much more normal than when our moms were moms. If my kids turn out white, that'll be a huge problem for me, yeah. You're going to have the thing where you get like one that's really white and one so it's really Asian. And like no one's a blend.

Oh no, I feel sad. I was saying this the other day. Don't lose any Asian. No. I think you will. No. Because I'm only half. I'm literally going to...

Those Chinese odiacs are going to be so forced down those kids. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think a quarter, we can feel it in essence. I think we'll be fine. I think to look at them, you might not know. Really? I think a quarter's not very much. Roy was cool to Norwegian.

Yeah, and he looks fucking Norwegian. So do you. Have you done antistry DNA? Yes, I have. And famously, I'm not Norwegian. Do you have you done it? My nan did it? One nan.

Same thing. No, okay, one nan. One nan. But the nan that, like, would have, like, you know, had a bit of... Something. Got it. The other nan had Chowndham, Chownham, Chownham, Chownham, Chownham, Cotswolds. For years, millennia.

Okay. Anyway, I think, like, let's not rush. No, no, let's not worry. Yeah, yeah, let's not worry about that. Let's not think about the kids, yeah. No, but I'm just saying, I'm not changing my name. That's always been my stance. Amen.

Amen. Period. What else you know? Oh, we can tell you now about Raw. Yes. What don't you tell? Okay, so Raw basically had a bit of a, I would say it had a bit of a shocker. He basically started.

this whole fiasco, what, in Christmas, before Christmas? Before Christmas. And it fell through with the jeweller. So then, rules are bother. Rawls doesn't know what's going to happen. Thank God for Nige, Ali's best friend from school. She came in with the good stuff. She had a contact.

A jeweller. A jeweller. Not a saucer. Because they're different, I heard. They are different. I don't know a lot about diamonds, but I'm learning. Well, you need, a saucer just finds it for you. A jeweller, like, has the vision.

Yes, so he got the vision. So then rules in talks with this visionary and like Al had kind of shown him an idea. So he knew. But it's actually quite different. But I agree. I love it. I genuinely did not know when. He springboarded.

100%. I love that. So anyway, because of the fact that then it was this, the new, like in the new year and the fact that he'd like met this guy and he'd been in talks with this guy, it kind of took a while to then source the right diamond and to make the like cast, I believe they called it. Anyway, gets to the point where it's a week before they're going to Mexico. He does not have the ring. The guy said that he was going to get the ring to him by the Monday,

but then there were tube strikes. So then the guy said that they couldn't get the final bits or something. The people in the workshop couldn't come to the workshop to finish the ring because they were tube strikes. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. So then Roar is like squeaky bum. He doesn't know when he's going to get it.

Anyway, the guy then called him. They're in mind. Sorry. During this week. Oh yeah. Sorry. have, like, to do all his client stuff. He's driving to Oxford to see my dad.

He's driving to Beaconsfield, as we knew, to go to Brasbury Brogland and I said to him. I was like, why didn't you do the parents earlier? Like, why did you leave them till that week? And he was like, well, it would have been embarrassing if they then didn't get the ring. Because he was like genuinely unsure. He did not know if he would get the ring. So then when, by the time the guy had said, okay, I could have it to you by Monday or like by the end of the week. He was like, fuck, got to do everyone now.

So he does dinners with everyone. Literally like mad. Mad, Wednesday, Thursday. Then he came back on Friday to London. The guy calls him and he's like, okay, you can pick up the ring. Raw's like, right, I'm like at work, in the office. No, this wasn't even it. That was on the Thursday. Oh, yeah. And he's like, I'm in the office, la, la, la. Then Roar has an idea. He thinks, oh, I'm going to a event on Friday night. He was going to a charity dinner. And he thinks, I should pick up the ring before. No, bother. So then he goes in his, like, suited and booted.

In his black tie. To pick up the ring from the guy, puts it in his bag. pocket. Because he doesn't have a bag. It's not insured. Okay. No insurance on this ring. Most expensive thing the boys ever bought ever. In his life.

And it's taken what? Four, five months to make. He's got it in his pocket. He's at this charity dinner. He's, he's thrilled, doesn't he? Putting his money down on a housing court thing.

Living his life. Yeah. And he's got this ring in his pocket. Anyway, then he goes home. Yeah. He must pack that day. He literally packed in half an hour again. Where's why everything?

Too much. Too much. He then has to drive, I'm like, where's the ring? It's in his bag somewhere. He drives to this wedding. Al wasn't invited to the wedding so fine. She was at home. On Saturday.

Drives his wedding in Solispray. I'm like, where's the ring? He's like, I just had it in the hotel room. And I was like, in the safe. And he was like, no, there wasn't a safe. Oh my God. Yeah. So then he goes, gets absolutely, you know, gets married.

Shit face, I would say. Bind. Binned. Binned at the wedding. Comes back. Final. Check, check, check. Everyone, he's done nothing.

He hasn't spoken to the hotel. He doesn't know where he's going to do it. He doesn't know when he's going to do it. He just got the ring. He just knows he's got the ring. Anyway, then he meets out at the airport. All good. All his shoots in his hands like this.

Yeah. He says, in my bag. Bottom on my bag. Somewhere in my bag. Somewhere in my bag. He didn't even check because I was looking at him. He didn't even, after security, he didn't even open his bag to check.

It was still there. He just carried on through. No, honestly, the anxiety that gives me. So then he gets there. Bearing mind, they get there so late. Then he starts doing his sourcing, his wrecking. he's looking at the beach, he's decided maybe not.

Then thank God for this man. Luis. Because in each building of this hotel there was a concierge. And I thought honestly, thank you. If it wasn't for Louise, we would have not got engaged. I said to Roar, where did you find the pictures? And he was like, well, they're all in my heart folder.

His favour is. My heart folder is so sweet. That is sweet. I said, course they are. Of course. Because they are. Of course. So he sends them to Louise.

Louise prints them off. Louise does, yeah. Louise says, well, we do Rose Petal. He says, yeah, lovely. Louis says we've never done this before. First time for everyone. It was everyone's first rodeo. Raw goes, I've never done this before.

So there, you know, both of them cowboying on this, you know, our, you know, our, thank God is just, you know, focusing on their tan. I was not, I was not. Yeah, where were you at this point? Just sort of. I was just fanning around, yeah, to be honest. I said to Raw, I was like, actually, it annoys us that she's such a fannier and she's late, everything, but really helps when you're trying to surprise her.

In this, I honestly, I couldn't, I, he just kept talking to me about, going to the room and speaking to Louise. And I thought, why the fuck? He honestly, he was talking to Louise more than he was talking to me those first two days. He was so weird. And then he was, I said, who the fuck are you texting? I'm just texting Louise. What the fuck could you be texting Louise about?

He said, oh, he's just telling me what the dinner is tonight. Why texting Louise that? Then on the Tuesday, he said to me, Louise is off on Thursday. I said, why do you know? But Louise. And that's why I happen on Wednesday. That's why I happen on Wednesday. Saturday.

This is off on Wednesday on Thursday. Of course. So between the two of them, they smashed him. No, this is, he is the most, like, you know, God love him. Sometimes, like, it's his best trait. Sometimes it does honestly give everyone around him heart attack. He's the most present person you will ever, ever. Yeah, like, it could only really happen when he was in the room.

When he's, like, just there and happening and thinking about it. He had to see the vision. He can't think about. Snow forward planet. No. Even the wedding, God bless us. When he goes, well, it'll be fine with it for next year. I think, oh, Christ.

You've got no idea. You. Babe, it's got nothing to do with him. True. Really, I said this to you yesterday. Listen, brother, well done. Nice ring, brilliant proposal. You've done your part.

Now we'll take over. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay, we must move on. Join us in part two for your galley messages. Okay, galleys, welcome back. What should we call? Oh, we've got to be Louise.

Louise, course. Okay, let's hear voice note number one. Okay, girls, I don't even know where to start with this, but basically, my boyfriend proposed to me last Saturday, which is great. Like, I'm so happy. My voice doesn't sound it, but I am generally so happy. But the only thing is, he did it at my ex's wedding, like during the reception, on the dance floor, whilst the first dance was happening. Oh! Yeah.

And I know you're going to ask, why was I even at my ex's wedding? But it's a long story. And I obviously said yes, because I was in shock. Everyone started cheering and suddenly me. Shut up. Shut up! ... congratulated at someone else's wedding. Oh!

And the bride, who I'm still friends with, by the way, is now crying. Obviously. So now my ex thinks my boyfriend did it on purpose to ruin his day, which honestly, looking back, he did. He did.

Because they've never really liked each other. But the bride is saying, I need to apologise on behalf of my fiancé and uninviting from any future events. My fiancé is saying she's been dramatic and it was just spontaneous and romantic. But they're... Then, and this is the part that's actually keeping me up at night,

my fiancé accidentally let it slip that he had had the ring for six months. Shut up. Six whole months. And he just chose that moment. So it wasn't even spontaneous. He had planned to propose at my ex's wedding on purpose, like my ex thought. I'm engaged, I'm happy, but am I with a man who is generally unhinged? And do I own my friend?

an apology. I don't know whether to be flattered or mortified. Girls, please help me. That is wild. The size of a shocking thing I think I've ever heard. That tops the kidney story. I need to. That's flawed me. Oh my God, thank God. Sorry, obviously, not thank God this happened to you, but

thank God because I've literally told everyone I know that kidney story. And now I needed something new. I am shock-holler. Are you getting married to an unhinged band? Sorry. Unhinged. I don't know. calculated yes because that I obviously we didn't have time for the context of like why everyone's still friends why you're at the wedding listen maybe you're friends enough but like you're no because it depends how long you went out like if you were teenagers when you went out but he's an ex enough for your current partner to want to fuck him over which means that like it's not just like a little fling when you were 16 surely because he cared to do that wow that is that is some sense that is some sense. serious thunder stealing.

I can't, I genuinely cannot believe. If someone got down on one knee, on my wedding day, I would walk over and I would, I would literally lift them up. And I say, get out. Get out. I genuinely would. Okay. Devil's advocate.

If you had been moved by the emotion of that day, because they are emotional weddings and they do make you feel, you know, in love. And you had taken your partner off. I was just about to say, you'd left the market as a private area. Exactly. no one can see you. Yes. And you were just having a little moment,

little sick maybe, little look at the fireworks and you said, I can't fucking wait to do this with you. I mean, the problem is, I'm guessing he had the ring.

With him on that day. Yeah, babe. In his... This is what I mean, this is the most unspontaneous... Yeah, it can't be fraudaneous. Unless he didn't propose with the ring and then he gave you

the ring after. Maybe. Maybe. He could have turned up the wedding about the ring. He's been carrying it around six months. So... The moment was he waiting for

this one, clearly. I actually cannot. believe that. I'm so sorry but I do think you have to apologize. Actually, I think you have to make him apologize.

And the fucking rest, if I'm honest with you. Like, that is wild. Obviously it's not your fault you could have never have known that this was going to happen. The first dance,

I would literally be like, get the fuck up. I actually cannot believe that. I would literally be like, get up. I would honestly ask you to leave. So bad. There's just certain things

you can't announce. It's like when people like announce they're pregnant on someone's wedding day. I agree. It's not about, For one day, I agree. I've spent X amount of money. I agree.

And like for most people, that is the one day where they will be. The centre of attention. Of that they should be. Yes. And like, you can't be stealing any thunder. You can't even be like fainting. No, I do anything. You can you only think the number one rule of a wedding is lay low.

Even, can I just say, like even if you're going, we had this last, when we went to the wedding in Greece last summer, last October, it was a, it was a week, like a four day event. There were many occasions where we, it was like, we were not on holiday, but like we were in a hotel with lots of other people, but like there was only like a dinner and then the main day, even if you had got engaged on that weekend in Greece, I still think that's bad. Also, why would you want that? Like, why would you want your engagement to be like someone else's thing? Bizarre. Listen, I agree. I think you need to definitely apologise. and you can kind of play dumb here.

You've got a free ball. So you're not really apologising. You're just like affirming her feelings to be mortified. But I definitely think there is a conversation there for you to have. With your fiancé. To say I'm really at a loss as to why you thought that was the right thing to do. What a move. So even if you did just feel it in the moment, whatever, let him play spontaneous, whatever.

You then say, okay, babe, love that for you. She's so love that you're so spontaneous, but in hindsight, can you see why that was a bad idea? And then if he doesn't say no, then we've got a problem. Because like now what you need him to do is like, okay, listen, it was spontaneous. I misjudged. In hindsight, that was wrong. Yeah. And just say that to the girl.

I'm sorry I misjudged. It's a shame because like, I don't know, I was thinking this a lot. Like you get to hopefully do this once. Okay, now it is time for an email. Sit back, relax, fiance. Really? Fiancee, hey gals. So my aunt is getting married two days after my 21st birthday,

which already means I can't really do a big celebration. I see where this is going. All my family are spread across the UK and they're travelling down for her wedding. So it's kind of taken over the weekend I would have used for my birthday, jarring. On top of that, she's being quite strict about how I have to dress as one of her six bridesmaids, three adults, three teens slash kids. No one else is matching, but my mum. Mum, the maid of honour, and I are meant to match.

The issue is my style is quite tomboyish. I mainly wear black and I don't really feel comfortable in dresses. I'd honestly prefer to wear a suit, but that's been ruled out if I say, if I stay in the bridesmaid group. Okay? She's also asked that I choose specific jewellery, not cut my hair until after the wedding and dye my hair back to a natural colour. It's currently purple. What do you girls think I should do? And would you have strict requirements for what your bridesmaids wear?

Wow, this is a good, good question. And I have had this experience. There's nothing worse than being put in a dress that you know you look that shit in. That is snakey behaviour. That is sneaky behaviour. Okay, so my cousin, Steph, got married not last year before. Two summers ago. Fucking hell.

Anyway, her twin sister is cousin Jess. Who you know because she edits our videos works for us. Yes, exactly. With us, sorry, not for us. That sounds so like, fucking big mass energy with us. And Jess is notoriously tomboyish. I haven't seen Jess in a dress since we were 13 maybe. And Steph just kind of knew that that would be the sitch.

So they collaborated, I would say, on what Jess would wear. And she landed on a kind of like waistcoat. Was it the same colour with all of your dresses? No, but it was. the same blue as what the groomsmen were wearing, but it was like a femme car. Do you know what I mean? Rather than her wearing like a suit.

Yeah. Because Steph said she didn't want Jessie walk down the eye and it looked like they were getting married. Because of their sisters, you know, engaged. So yeah, anyway, I think it's a really tricky one because I think a lot of people get wrapped up in the wedding of it all and the look of it all. And it is your big day and it is traditional to have your bridesmaids looking kind of coherent.

I think if it's not like going to ruin your day and you can do it in a way that you can feel comfortable for one day, I think you could swallow the dress but not dye your hair. I think that's wild to ask someone to dye their hair. Kim did ask Kylie to not have her hair blue for her wedding. She did. Listen, Steph asked me not to get any more tattoos and then I got the dragon and she literally texted me and she was like,

I can't believe you've just done that three months before my wedding. Whoopsy! Tattoos much worse than her Tatty Tatu you can't get rid of I said Photoshop it Blur me out No it's tricky

It is tricky Listen I get it I can understand it from both sides Because I agree I think if you can suck it up for one day Listen Again I understand It's not ideal

She's getting married on your 21st That's actually the worst bit really Well it isn't it isn't Because it's like listen As someone who is in the thick of wedding season there are only so many fucking weekends you can choose from. They really are.

And like, especially if you're getting married in the UK, you've got a small window. And like, I'm not for one second saying that a wedding trumps a 21st. But if that was the only thing that was stopping them from picking that date, sadly that might have, you know, just been like the only option. Yeah. I think if you can suck up the dress. Yeah, I agree.

I think if you can suck up the dress for the love of your aunt, even if you like, you hate all the pictures, just don't look at them, don't post anything. Like, do you know what I mean? Like, don't, you're not doing it for you. You're doing it for her. I do think the hair is a bit of a push. Unless she's going to pay for you to go to a really nice hairdresser before and after.

Yeah, okay, if she's going to pay for it then, yeah, fair. Yeah, it's a bit wild. It's really taking everyone's, like, you know, individualism away. I do know. I just think, listen, I don't know how I would sit on this because I think, I agree. I think that is wild to ask someone to dye their hair. But like, if it's like bright purple, I might say, could you. Could you like give it a tone?

Do you know what I mean? So it doesn't look like... What is it that she's worried about you think? She's just worried that everyone's going to look at her in the picture. I just think it might like stand out as like a feature. Yeah. Tricky that. That is tricky.

But then my argument to the art would be if you care that much, don't have her as a bridesmaid, genuinely. That's how I would feel. Because like if I love the people I'm picking as prize maids, I love them because of who they are and how they are and how they present themselves. So like if I love you, and you have a moheican, was it called? A mullet, I don't know, whatever you have. I love you with your mullet. I don't want to change you to be a bridesmaid.

If I hate your mullet that much, you're not going to be a bridesmaid. Like, that's how I stand on it. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? You could just say, sorry since you can't be a bridesmaid because you're purple. And then she could say, no, no, no, I could dye my hair for your wedding to be a ridemaid.

Then that's more the conversation for me. But I think the dress you can suck up. I think the dress you have to suck up. It's a fucking play at the end of the day. Yeah, genuinely in a theatre. Yes, you're doing a production. At one, at two, at three, at four, and in all of it you're wearing your dress.

So get your dress on. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Yep. Okay. Good luck, babe. And I'm really sorry about your 21st. Just do it another weekend. No one needs to know.

It's not the weekend. I'm going to do my third. My fucking cousin, Steph once again. I'm going to do my 30th the weekend before my actual 30th with Stephs at a wedding the weekend of my 30th. How selfish. But alas, I'd like her to be there. Are you going to have strict requirements for what your Bridesways were?

Yeah, you're going to have a shaved head. It's time for the galley gossip. Right. Changing the galley gossip up a little bit this week for obvious reasons. We asked the galley's on Instagram if you, if the galley's had any questions about Ali's engagement. And trust me, there were a lot. So, Ruby asks... How was his posture?

Al was taking the piss out of him so much. He was like, he lunged. He did lunch. I don't know what to tell you. He put in the gym too much. He literally lunged it. at me like he was doing a dumbbell lunch. It didn't look that lungy in the video.

Fair. No, no, fair. To be honest, when I watched it back, I felt quite propelled out and I was like, whoa. Yes. Well, also, now we know from Rawls' point of view, he couldn't see Ali coming because of the reflective glass. So he was a bit of surprise.

Yes. Yes. When's the wedding? Listen, guys, let's not go there. No, we had the conversation yesterday. Go on. We thought, will it be late next year or early 2028? Exactly.

I've got, we. Ali and she limited have got plans. We've got grand designs. Exactly. We need time. Jasmine asked, did he say anything special when proposing? Was he crying? He was not crying.

He was actually dripping in sweat. He was nervous. He didn't say anything special, but he did afterwards. I said, was there anything you wanted to say that you didn't get the chance to say in the moment? Because Al was sobbing. Sobbing. Yeah. And then he just said, I love you very much.

And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I mean, listen, it's nothing. Well, don't rewrite the, you know, the scripture. It works. He said what he said. He said what he said. But no, in the moment, I think the words didn't quite come to him. He said, well, you marry me.

He said, well, you marry me. And that was enough. I went, oh, oh, God. It was really good. Yeah. Did you get it on film or a pick? Yeah. Okay, funny story is that that morning, I was brushing my teeth and rule was on his laptop.

And I said to him, he wasn't, normally when he sits at his laptop, he was typing on. he was looking at something. He was just sitting there, just like scrolling on the, like just looking at all the apps on the home bar. And I looked at him and I said, what the fuck are you doing?

He said, oh, I've never really discovered this laptop before. He kills me. So what the fuck do you mean discover this? He said, I've never really looked at this laptop properly. Again,

why would I assume that you would be that thick to like not have thought that one through a little before I was brushing my teeth? I do think it's like low key genius from him. So what he was basically doing was finding photo booth, if you remember that app. And he was setting up his laptop so that it could film you in the room and his phone would film him outside. Genius. No, no, genius. And we

did film, he did film the whole thing. Yeah. Walking in. But it was just so funny because, like, who does that? That morning, maybe on the plane you would have thought, oh, well, I'll just do a little double check. Little Google. Do you want to? Yeah. I'm just discovered. I've never really discovered this laptop before. Okay. We'll go. You freak. Ruby asks, what did you do immediately after the proposal?

Did it feel awkward? No, it didn't feel awkward. It was actually, to be honest, it was so nice because I feel like then finally he took a breath. And you could talk. And then immediately I was like, okay, tell me everything.

He didn't even tell me what he told you last night. He didn't tell me how to the viral. He didn't tell me any of that, no. We were just talking, he was mainly talking about Louise. It was a fucking best friend, Louise. And, um, what a man. You best send Luis a person.

bottle of mackle. We gave, don't worry babe. We gave him a generous tip. Louise. Louise is eating well this week. Brilliant. But no, it wasn't awkward. It was really, it was really nice. Like that first night, no, everyone was asleep and no one knew. So we were just like in our bubble, really. It was just, no, it wasn't awkward. It shouldn't feel awkward. I don't think that that's really like, no, but awkward in the sense maybe that it's a bit like, because it's such a weird moment. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was awkward. with that whole day. He was so weird.

Yeah. Awkward before. I mean, afterwards I thought, okay, you can fucking intake some oxygen now, my friend. Thank God. Kelly asked, did you tell G first? If not, who did you tell him? What order? I can confirm G was the first to know. First person, yeah. Before my own father. To be fair, my mum, when I spoke to, she had already assumed that I had already told G. Sweet. She said, she, she, well, also.

It wasn't a surprise to my mom, she fucking knew the whole thing. She knew. Nothing to tell, sis. I didn't know anything. I was as blind as you girls. Yeah, G and G was the first to know. Yeah. Oh, listen. Oh, listen.

It is what it is. I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you. I know. Also, we were, it was so funny because I knew that G knew because obviously in the mornings we would text. Yeah, so I knew. So basically, A, I had done the kind of like, like forward thinking of the fact that like the days. Yeah.

So I was like, I think it will be... Wednesday. The Wednesday. Was it the Tuesday night for you? It was Wednesday night. The Wednesday night. Yeah. I was like, I think it will be the Wednesday night.

So then I think it will be my Thursday evening afternoon that I find out. But I don't know. But anyway, then on that morning, you just hadn't text. And I was also being really mindful for the whole week, like trying not to be like, you know, hey. No, I was like, where are you? I was kind of not texting her. No, no. Holly kept saying, let them be.

I was like, no, I was literally texting her being like, we need, I found that, I was like, where are you? Because I didn't want to ask her about work either so I was just kind of like posting like, you kept like just not posting I was like, don't worry, I'll do the schedule change. I was just changing the schedule.

Anyway, yes. So I kind of knew that it was coming and Al tried really hard to, you know, frankly. She was like, I just wanted to ask you about the posting schedule. I was like, she had this. Honoured my brother. I was like, I couldn't speak.

Frozen trying to find the fucking white by the one. So drunk. as well. It's so rosé drunk. It's brilliant. You broke that glass. I broke a glass. I did. I smashed the glass. It was all kicking off. Honestly, it was all kicking off my end. I was crying. But yes, G was the first of though. Yeah, it really made me cry.

Yeah. Wow. What a moment. How involved were you in the design of the ring? Okay. So I had found a video from this guy that I am obsessed with. His name is Grant Mobley. He's like a fine, fine jeweler. Like he sources like the most, like, the fatest, juiced. not just diamonds, like gems in the world. And he had made this ring that I found. Also, I for ages was like, I hate all engagement rings.

Yeah, yeah. I really didn't like any of them. So I found this one video and I was like, that's what I want. Obviously, the fucking diamond in that video was like 20 carrots. But I liked the like setting. So I gave rule that video. And then he took that to the jeweler, this man, this visionary. And the jeweler jumped off that platform.

And I did try on a waxwork. But like, obviously the waxwork is just wax. You can't really tell. Yeah. All I could see was that it was. was going to be chunky. Well, because also Al has tiny fingers. So it was a bit of a funny, like, because you had to have, it was a chunky ring, but for a really small finger. Yeah. So you didn't want it to be too big for your hand. But my genuine advice would be,

don't just like, because for ages I thought I wanted one thing and then I tried on that one thing. I was like, oh, I absolutely hate that. So my advice is, like, try on some stuff. Because you can't hate it, girls. They're spending a lot of money on it. A lot of money. You can't be hating it. I genuinely, I find it unbelievable that people are still proposing without having consulted their bride. But surely they're speaking to the friends. Are they not? I think a lot of boys, I do know some of my friends who didn't have any consultation.

Zero. I'm like, if you're going to spend that much fucking money and I'm going to wear it every day for the rest of my life, I have to like it. I didn't let George Pierce out on my side. Yeah, good. I literally was like, you're not allowed to go anywhere again. Good. Because that would go wrong.

Yeah. Oh, what cut is the ring? James asked. James. James is getting a fucking ring for his misses. James. The cut is... What is the cut?

It's called an elongated cushion. Obviously, I only know this because I've been looking at ratings. And now I actually need my Instagram algorithm to change it. I'm not interested in wedding favours. We need some wedding content. Do you know what I mean? Babe, you will not believe this. I have had two wedding planners in my DMs already.

Yeah. I'm like, oh my God, I'm thrilled. Yeah, babe. Oh, see, look, Luna de Provence weddings. I support couples in creating elegant and bespoke weddings in Provence, South of France. I look forward to hearing from you. Well, this is fucking brilliant. I know.
