This episode was recorded on Camaragal land. Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura. And I'm Mrs. Seagrass. Somebody get married! Firstly, let's address the fact that this has dropped on a Tuesday because we simply could not wait to blow our load and record this and get this out to you. Ben couldn't wait either.

What a lovely way to start the episode. We couldn't wait. It's too much. So romantic. But we're so happy for you. And it was the most amazing wedding ever. And this, for anybody who is curious, is purely just an ode to Brittany and Ben. This is a wedding special.

And you are going to get all the details. Yep. I am officially, I never thought I would say this, officially married. Actually, it's not official. But I had a wedding. You're actually not married. Can we? Okay.

First things first. Obviously, there's logistics around getting married. And, like, there are processes that need to be followed in order for it to be legally wed. How are we starting the wedding episode with so not actually married? Spoiler. You brought it up. Yeah, so it's – well, yeah, let's just start with that.

You do have a choice if you want to – like, you can get married internationally. Like, you can, but you jump through way more hoops. There's a lot more legislation. For Ben and myself, it was way more tricky because we're already from two different countries getting married in a third country. it was too much so we just have to officially legally sign the documents here but by all other accounts it was exactly like the proceedings were a wedding anyone that was there that I didn't tell

because everyone thought it was legal no one knows but you guys all in on the secret we're not actually married you can't say that you are married it was an incredible wedding and also I mean like there's a lot happening on this episode Ben's joining us later we're answering heaps of your questions but also I just wanted to say it's really quite special how full circle this feels to have this conversation because when we started this podcast six years ago and for any of our OG lifers who have been along the very turbulent ride at different times like this started with you talking about like the absolute treachery of dating and yeah and what you had been through in your dating life and kind of like I guess like the roles that we played on this

podcast for a really long time was like, I had just had a baby and you were in a different phase of life with dating and navigating what that looked like. And now you're Mrs. Segrist. And I like am so unbelievably happy for you. I also genuinely can't believe it happened. I do. I'm really emotional. I know. Keisha's crying again. Really, it's the last couple of days, it's been really interesting to me at the different moments I've become really emotional. They haven't been the ones that I expected,

but just coming to work this morning, I had that realization where I was like, oh my god we're going to work today firstly it's a public holiday lol because none of us knew that's why she's crying and I just thought I can't believe that we're actually about to go we're about to go and record the episode where Brit talks about getting married to the love of her life like you know obviously we've all been friends for so long and we've been there through some really not great romantic experiences and it just felt so beautiful to be like wow we're going to talk about kind of the, the final chapter of that dating story. I definitely had those moments. I don't know. I'm assuming it's normal, but so many times in the week before I would look

over at Ben and I'd be like, we're getting married. I was like, you're going to be my husband. Like, how has this happened? Do you feel any different now? I know people always ask, like, do you feel any different after the wedding, you know, in comparison to before the wedding, you know, being now that you're married versus not being married i do i feel like nothing has changed obviously because it's again we didn't even really do it let's not focus on that but no nothing has changed but i i did feel different i felt like we had cemented the next chapter and we really were entering the next chapter of life do you feel relief that you don't have to peacock anymore like you don't have to be so funny that's another story too like one day after the wedding i

accidentally farted in the bed and Ben and Ben was like wow you weren't joking about letting yourself go once you got buried it's all downhill for me but it was it was really nice like I had this moment where I thought how lucky are we to have done this podcast for just over six years now six and a half yeah just over six years it's six years in July yeah it's like a diary we have a verbal diary of everything that happens in our life because we're over sharers all of us but it means you can go back and reflect on those things and when I think about that first conversation on when I hooked up with Ben the conversation that we had I would just like to say none of it was positive from my side I was like this is a disaster waiting to happen yeah this

feels like a terrible idea and I remember when you came back from the first time you went over to see Europe and you were like I'm to see Ben I'm in love and I honestly was like this sounds like the worst thing I have ever heard and I'm very very glad that I was wrong but the context in that also I think is really important because you know I remember so many lifers like why can't you just be happy for Brit and I was like dude I have just nursed her through the worst breakup with someone who lived overseas yeah where every day you would come in and be like I am unlovable and I'm never gonna find someone and all I could see was the fucking red flags of like this is going to end badly and you're going to be hurt again yeah and I you know I don't know how to

describe it because like I definitely don't feel bad I feel like any friend who was in that position would be like hey I want to protect you from doing something that for 99.9% of people does not work out the way it did and your relationship is absolutely the exception it is not the rule but I think what people don't realize is it's funny the reason that you you said those things there was a reason at the end of the day I came in and told you I was head over heels with a guy I banged that lived overseas. Like any normal friend is going to react like that. It's not like you weren't supportive.

Totally. I was like, dude, this guy, he's so hot. He's an ass boy. He lives overseas. I'm never going to see him. I love him. No, no, no. As if you're not going to be.

When we met, Ben, the first weekend you'd hooked up with him, it was the three of us plus Matt at your house because we were recording Laura's wedding episode. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. That's a little peek behind the curtain, isn't it? So you and Matt went away for one week for like your honeymoon and then it was as soon as you guys got back into the country, Britt had had her hookup week.

No, we went away for four days. We just stayed in Ulladulla. Thank you for making it sound fancy. Yeah. We didn't get our honeymoon. No, that was nine months later with my sister for her 40th. My timeline is off. But this part I do remember.

It was the first episode that we recorded and that's why Matt was there because it was all about your wedding and everything that happened at your wedding. and Brit was like, guys, I know you could leave but I kind of want you to stay just for an extra five to ten minutes because there's this really hot guy that I've been hooking up with over the weekend and he's going to be here and I just kind of want you to meet him just so you can see how hot he is. No, I just wanted bragging rights too because it was funny

but it was so funny because I said to Ben, hey, you can come. I've just finished work. You can come over. They'll be gone. They're heading now. But then I went to you guys. I was like, don't go. Purposely stay and overlap.

And then Ben walked in and I was like, I'm so sorry. they're still here I was like they won't leave I was like oh my god and you guys were like sorry just tidying up like finishing up just faked it so Ben was so awkward but I can see why you would say that Laura like I don't think you need to feel bad and if anyone's made you feel bad I'm sorry but like that's also a pretty standardized thing like if any if Keisha had have come to us one day and said she fell in love with the guy that she had hooked up with two days in a row and lived overseas we would have also wrapped a red flag around her face try to suffocate her I am just i mean genuinely i know we've spoken about it the last five days one stop but like i'm so

so unbelievably happy for you guys like yeah it was an incredible wedding it was so beautiful from a timeline perspective for everyone listening brit got married on the wednesday yeah so tuesday there was like a get together party that happened first wednesday was the wedding and then thursday was the recovery and so we've come in as soon as we've gotten back from bali we are in recording on monday and the reason why we would drop this on tuesday which is very out of our normal scheduling we're too excited is because we wanted to be able to get it to you as quickly as possible yeah and I think we kick start with a few people saying you know that I didn't maybe make it really public when the wedding was or where it was and maybe I was alluding to the

fact that I was still in Italy when we're in Bali and that was all very intentional and I know a lot of people understand why you know we share a lot I did want to try to keep the wedding private there were some media outlets that were trying to find out when and where and what and why and I just wanted to do my best to protect that and that wasn't intentional to you guys and I know most of you understand but I don't want anyone to feel like I was trying to lie or lead them down a garden path it was just to protect one special day and we successfully did that it was beautiful no one was there to interrupt it or ruin it what would have happened if they were Brittany we had people on the roof with laser beams lucky they weren't rifles that's a story we'll get into later but

yeah so I just wanted to start by saying that so I'm sorry if anyone did feel misled because I know we are a really big family here but to give people context on that like the paps traveled to italy for anna heinrich's wedding they came down to aladala for mine i know that's a really big voyage for them but you're you and aladala they published tammy hembrow's whole they had like a drone at tammy hembrow's quite recently the whole wedding yeah they published the whole thing yeah at laura's wedding laura's vows were online published whilst we were at the reception like yeah and you know the thing that was the most upsetting like obviously we got over it i wasn't gonna let it ruin my wedding but the most upsetting thing was that there were media outlets that tried to frame

that we were in on the paps being there and i will swear on everything in my life that we had no idea and the only reason why they were able to record the vows just for anyone who maybe was well how did they get the audio because we were speaking on a microphone and they were and it was projected across everyone who was there and they were hiding in a bush recording everything and filming everything and so like it felt so invasive and so we really wanted to make sure that that wasn't something that you experienced brit and because we've kind of like we've traveled the road already we knew a little bit better as to how to protect it unfortunately my husband wasn't on board with that so something happened on the day of brit's wedding you guys know our

wednesday episode comes out we had a great chat around fertility waiting rooms and we just had our normal episode, which we pre-recorded before we went away. Like fake it till you make it. Yes. Great. Love that for us. Matthew Johnson and his wonderful podcast partner, Ash, they also pre-recorded the podcast. Now I cannot tell you how many times I said to my husband, I cannot tell you, Brit's wedding, we're not talking about it. We're not going to tell people that we're there. You're just coming over for a holiday, like, you know, off the back of my work week. And he was like, yeah, got it. Good. The morning of Brit's wedding, his podcast episode comes out in which he says, yeah, so we're heading over to Bali for Brit's wedding.

He got the timeline wrong. The amount of messages I received, which were like, oh my God, did Matt just accidentally spoil the fact that Brit's wedding is in Bali? And it was the day of, and then I received, we were sitting at a cafe and Keisha sent me a screenshot from one of you guys who'd written in and my stomach dropped. I think I yelled at him in the cafe. I was so upset at him. And then he got so upset. Matt was almost in tears because it was the second thing that he accidentally unveiled that week. Yeah. Baby names and my wedding. Good one, Matt. You're on a roll. He was like, I need some headlines. How can I spice this up? How can I stay relevant? And they ended up deleting the episode almost immediately, but it had had quite a few downloads.

So I just honestly spent the entire day praying to every God that there is under the sun that like please don't let that get out. Please don't let Britt know. It's so funny. I did walk up to Matt at the wedding and pretend I was mad. Like I had a go at him. I don't, I told you though. That's how you knew. Yes. Yes. You'd already told me. And I mean, I wasn't mad. Was it a careless error? Yes. Was it reckless? Could it have been avoidable? Absolutely. But there was a media outlet that had released the venue location and approximate dates, but they didn't have the exact date, right? They had a window and I had called my wedding planner. I had a wedding planner in Bali. I had easy weddings here in Australia who were amazing. And then I got some, they had some people

on the ground over there as well. And I sent it to them and I said, I don't know how this has gotten out because we did have different names and whatever. And they immediately went, they're like, don't worry, we've got this. Like, we're going to sort this out. We're going to make sure no one gets in. And it's a huge private estate. The only way to get in for a paparazzi was with the drone and I said they can all the guest list where yeah all the guest list because they weren't checking names off apparently all the guest list because the people at the door were just showing the entire guest list and saying which name is yours and so because we got married like it is stunning I cannot wait to show you but it's on a cliff right like Ben and I were on a floating

stage on an infinity pool we couldn't have been closer to a cliff if a paparazzi wanted to with drone he could have been like half a meter away and got the best content ever so they were like the wedding planners in the balinese side were like okay we've got this we're on it we've got security that are going to sit on top of the roof they've got rifles they're going to shoot the drone out of the air and i was like sorry what rewind like a just an air rifle with air or like a like a rifle rifle like a gun they're like no we're going to shoot it with bullets out of the sky and i was like okay slow down i cannot be responsible for accidentally killing someone in Bali with a rifle at my wedding.

Imagine that headline. Can I say, though, it sounds okay in theory, but imagine being mid-vow. Yeah, the thing that I thought was the funniest is that you also had a drone and so I pictured that they wouldn't know which one was which. So let's imagine that they accidentally shot your drone and then you had to ask the paps for their footage.

Yeah, sorry, can you actually Dropbox me that? Can you just airdrop me because we lost all of ours. It's just got like Daily Mail's trademark on it. But I had to talk them off the ledge and I was like, look, I don't know if that's legal in Bali and I don't want to go to prison for shooting rifles at my wedding or accidentally shooting somebody. So we settled for laser beams. They had like – like it was so funny.

I feel like it could have been out of a movie. There was this guy on the roof with a laser beam and if a drone came past, he could – it's like shining a light in the eye and it stops them from being able to film. It was very, very funny. But we didn't need to use any rifles. I do not want that going out. And the guy on the roof with the laser beam was just sitting up there

drawing pictures on the roof. I watched him for half of it and he was just like, he was drawing a cat. He was not watching the ceremony. He was drawing a cat. Anyway, look, Ben is going to join us. And so, you know, so many of you guys wrote in questions and there is so many details around it.

But, Keish, you had one very specific and important role. Probably the most important. Also the heaviest, actually, technically and logistically, the heaviest role because we all saw how much fabric was in Brisbane. dress. So a couple of months ago, I think it might've been, we were actually sitting at a cafe near work and Britt turns to me and she was like, Hey, I have a favor to ask you. It's a big one. She goes, I'm not going to be going to Bali from Australia. I'm actually going to be going over to Europe first. Cause we've got our friend's wedding. So I'm wondering if it's okay if you take

my wedding dress over? And I was like, yeah, yeah, of course. No worries. Like I think a lot of these moments, I'm kind of just a no worries type of person. And I don't really think about like the actual logistics of certain things until I'm in the moment until you become worried yeah until I was like it's not exactly small so Brit Brit brings the dress over and it's a Stephen Khalil dress and Stephen Khalil's shop used to be just down the street from where I lived and so I would look in the window every time you know after I found out that he was your designer and I kind of started to grasp like oh he makes big dresses like he doesn't do anything subtle you know the The day that Brit was about to go over to Europe, she's like, I just need to drop my

dress in. I've just picked it up from, you know, down the street. And you had this thing where you were like, I don't want you to look at it. You know, there was a bit of a joke that the reason you weren't asked, Laura, is because we all knew that you would look at the dress. Even if I'd looked at it, there was so much dress, you wouldn't have been able to make out what was going on inside a bag. My favorite image is still, it's not ever real, but my favorite visual is if I gave

it to Laura and she was just walking around her house with it on. The entire bodice of your dress wouldn't fit one boob at the moment. Yeah, I couldn't breathe, but it looked great. It looked great. So Brie brings the dress over to the house, and I have this photo. If you're watching this episode on YouTube, I'll make sure that this includes it. There is a picture of the dress next to Delilah,

and I just remember standing there and looking at it, and I was like, how is this going to work? Wow. That's bigger than me. That's really large. Like if we were to give this a size, this is like triple XL in terms of a dress. But I was like, all right, no worries.

It'll be fine. It'll be fine. we got to the day that we had to actually go to the airport and so i didn't kind of grasp until i was getting it into the car just how large this fucking thing was it sits on your lap and it takes up the whole car we had our suitcases in the back of the uber and this is at like 3 34 o'clock in the morning mind you and so uh my boyfriend got in one side of the car and i got in the other and then the dress just took up the whole rest of the back of the we couldn't even talk to the uber driver because it was just taking up this whole thing we get to the airport I'm in the line and

one thing I have realized is it really restored my faith in humanity the way I was treated by strangers through the airport was like the kindest thing I have ever experienced everyone just kept congratulating me and at first I was explaining that actually it wasn't my dress and then I changed tactics then she's accepting money gifts so the one thing that I haven't told you Brett is that you gave me quite a big responsibility but I tried the dress on I temporarily lost it and I promised to you that I wouldn't look there was a part where I saw a part of the dress but it wasn't my fault but there are certain things that can't fit through an airport security scanner so we are going through because this dress I took it as carry-on because you didn't want it to go

underneath in case it got lost and whatever so we had it all pre-approved by Jetstar that I could take it in and like it can go in the overhead and whatever so I get to airport security and you know how you have to take your laptops out take your phone out take your wedding dress they looked at the wedding dress and they were like that didn't come out will not fit through the scanners they were like what's in it and I was like it's a wedding dress and there's an air tag in there as well because I knew that they were going to kind of wand over it right and they looked really worried once I said the air tag thing and I was like it's going to set off your metal alarms just So, you know, like there's an air tag in there.

So the dress went behind security and went up to where they were doing the scanning. And I just did our normal like airport. We went through the scanner, you know. As it turns out, you have to stand with your belongings when they're getting checked. They were like, you have to come over here. You have to come over here. And I was like, no, you don't understand. I'm not allowed to look at it.

She's like, I'm sorry, I can't look. They're like, is this your dress? I don't know. I can't look at it. They're like, you have to be with your belongings. Like it was getting more and more suspicious to them. So at one point, they unzipped the bag and I've like shot my eyes upwards because I'm like, I'm not allowed to look at it.

I was really dancing the line of trying to not look incredibly suspicious and also trying to get your dress through security. I definitely should have elaborated, Keisha. If it comes down to you being arrested by airport security, you're allowed to look at the dress. But anyway, they zipped the dress back up and I carried this thing along with me. surprisingly when I actually saw the dress on you I was quite shocked myself I was like wow I carried that I was like I don't know how that fit in the bag it was it was kind of heavy but

it was more awkward than it was heavy it's actually quite light like for how big my dress was it wasn't it was really thin fabric with just like these little flowers on it so it wasn't like a thick but it was just there was a lot of it how many kilos are we talking I didn't weigh it but I did maybe around maybe like three and a half like it was nowhere near as heavy as what I thought it was going to be Ben reckons more you reckon more maybe I've just been working out yeah we got onto the plane again also a lot of congratulations so thank you to those people who made me feel really special about going like did you walk around with a wishing well congratulations hope you have the best wedding I was like thank you so much that's so interesting

because I brought the dress home and not one person said that to me. I'm so offended. It's a different vibe coming home from like a beautiful tropic holiday to the cold. But we also stuffed it. You know how you said it doesn't fit through security? Oh, it does. We like rolled it up into a ball and threw it through the barley security.

We were like, this bad boy's getting through. Yeah, but it had already done its job, so like you were fine to do that. I feel like Keisha had like a far harder task. No, I appreciate you. Thank you so much. You're more than welcome. Because it was a huge responsibility. You had killed my plants before.

I wasn't sure we'd gone down the right path. I restored your faith in me. I'm also available if anyone else has any international weddings, if you need a cargo shipper. You're a wedding mule. No, thank you. You did an amazing job and you got it there safely. Well, you looked absolutely beautiful and the dress was fantastic.

I mean, speaking of things going off without a hitch, there was one small hitch that we did encounter before we get bent on and that has to do with the rings. Now, you guys all know that I made the wedding rings for Brit. And Ben. And Ben. So this is like Tony May. Brit came into my work and we sat down and we went through all the details.

We went through everything, as I told you on the episode two weeks ago. And Brit's rings, perfect, beautiful. I gave them to you a couple of weeks ago. You tried them on. They fit great. And you were like thrilled. I was wearing them around for the wedding. I couldn't take them off.

The problem that we had is that Ben had to size himself at a jeweler overseas. and Britt was flying to Europe first and she was going to give the rings to Ben. Unfortunately, that meant that we were quite close to time and he didn't have a lot of days prior to the wedding to actually see the ring. There were seven days from when I got to Italy with Ben's ring until when we were in Bali getting married. Yeah, so he'd seen photos of it. I knew that Ben was thrilled with the way that it looked,

but Ben's design of his ring was also very specific. So it has an infinity loop of diamonds that go all the way around it. The problem with having infinity diamonds on a wedding band means it's really, really tricky to resize. You can only make it bigger because you can carve out the middle, but you can't make it smaller because you can't contract the diamonds. So Ben got sized, Brit comes in, we sit down, we do the consultation. Perfect.

Love it. Ben's is 64. I write it down on my notes. I put it into the system. 64. Great. Give or take. 64.

64. Give or take. Two and a half sizes. So Britt takes the ring over to Europe. Ben tries it on and it flings off his finger. Oh, not even close. And this is something that people don't realize. Your right hand, if you're right-handed, it depends on your dominant hand.

If you're left-handed, then it's obviously your left hand's bigger. But your dominant hand is always bigger than your non-dominant hand. And for most people, that means their right hand is bigger than their left hand. So the ring measurements that I received was not in fact for Ben's wedding finger, which was not a 64 it was a 62 or a 61 it was a 60.5 i think 60 point fucking five i received the measurements for ben's right hand which i'm pretty sure he's also broken several times playing football which meant that we had five days to remake ben ben so i get there and i'm like from scratch we pull the ring out and ben's like oh my god like it's stunning because there's he's such

a baller and he likes fluffy fancy stuff and it has diamonds all the way around huge diamonds It's bigger than mine. And it looks, he's like, I love it so much. And I was like, put it on, baby. Put it on that beautiful Swiss skin. Anyway, he puts it on and it just falls to the ground. It's a bracelet. It's a bangle.

It's like an ankle. Yeah, it's like a bangle. It went up his arm. And I was like, what's happened? Put it back on. He puts it back on. And I was like, I don't understand what's happening. I had a meltdown.

I was like, how does this not fit you? Messaged Laura and I was like, Laura, you've made a mistake. Britt messaged me and she goes, Laura, you're wrong. She goes, I think you've made the ring too big. And I was like, no, I made it exactly to the spec. Wait, and checked my notes, checked the notes that we did in store. And I was like, I was like, so luckily for me, I'd also taken a photo of the notepad that I had written everything down on

whilst Britt was sitting next to me. I'll give it to you. And then I'd put everything. Dated. Anyway. Next to a newspaper. Hell of a lot. so anyway i just want to say we got it done so ben we we get problems solved and that problem

was solved i'm like cool this is a week before the wedding you don't have a wedding ring this is a very expensive ring i was like hey lorzy hypothetical could someone that has an infinity diamond ring get it resized she's like what have you done i was like ben's ring doesn't fit so once we heard you can't get it resized i was like oh my god this is the most expensive ring full of diamonds that we can't resize we're getting married in a week i was like it's okay we'll sort it out we'll sort it out and i so i blamed ben i was like ben you gave me the wrong you obviously gave me the wrong digits and he's like no i didn't i gave you the right i was like i wouldn't have made a mistake so he sends it to me and i was like no i've definitely told her the

right date i was like it's probably laura's fault so ben and i because ben and i are fighting against each other i'm saying it's ben's fault ben said it's my fault and i was like should we blame the person that's not here have you seen that meme and it's like advice to couples to have an imaginary person who lives in your house that you blame everything on like if a cup is left out it's like that's frank bloody frank he's the worst housemate like frank must have left the toilet roll you know frank must have not cleaned up after yeah the partner's like i'll speak to frank but yours is just laura i definitely thought it was a size 64 put it that way so laura's like gotten her shit together gotten her team together and has made the ring again in like six days we got it

the day before the wedding, we were at the recovery party. Laura was cleaning it with a cloth. Wait, does that mean that there's two versions of the ring? Yeah. Correct. So I have the second ring now. If anyone wants to buy it. It's a cock ring.

We have a diamond cock ring. If anyone wants a beautiful diamond bracelet, contact me at tonymay.com. Almost exclusive. If anyone wants to match Ben's wedding ring, we have that. That is for sale. We have an identical. I just need your husband to have slightly larger hands

and it'll be for sale in Bondi in two weeks. Do you melt it down and, like, reuse the diamonds? Yeah, I just melt it down. Okay. So, like, yeah, I mean, for a solid gold, you can obviously repurpose it, but it will just get melted down and put back into, like, gold stock and then we'll make it into something else at another point in time. It's so funny.

I feel like we could do a whole episode on the mistakes that happened the week before the wedding. Well, I think I should jump out of here and we should add Ben into this chair so that you guys can kind of – Sorry, do you mean my husband? I know it was Britt's wedding, but I do have the feeling that it was also ben's wedding so he can join us and we can ask him the questions as well ben come on over come on down benjamin ben welcome to the podcast hello guys you've just

been lurking in the corner this whole time yes i was listening to everything you said and i did not blame you i was gonna say who's fault do you think the ring was i did not blame you for the uh yes you did yes you did no i just pointed out that i passed on the right size that's Just, you know, make sure I'm out of the firing line. Okay, I will admit something. I did go back to try to confirm where the error occurred. So I went back through all messages through you and me, Laura, through Ben and myself, through myself and Ben's sister, Becky,

who helped with sizing. No, don't bring her into this. I liked it. Now, like, more names. It was Keisha's fault. It was Keisha. Ben's mum was there and then I'm pretty sure. And then the dog.

Delilah did it. What I can say is in my investigation, I did discover that you did indeed pass on the correct size, Ben. Thank you very much. Did you send both hands or something? Yes, because you made this other ring. Yes, you made the ring for Christmas. And obviously that finger is a little bit more crooked than the ring finger. But I had no idea what hand, sorry for context here, guys.

I've made now two rings for Ben and one of them he wears on his right hand. But I had no idea what finger you were wearing that on. so I didn't know I wasn't able to use that as a reference she's still trying to get rid of the blame she's like it couldn't have been me because Britt

in her message was like but you made the other ring so you know the size and I was like I have no idea what finger Ben wears that ring on I was like don't drag me into this

yeah that's a 65 and that's a 61 I think okay yeah I'm so glad we got it guys I just took the blame alright yeah I just did it wait can you just say

it was my fault as in like I'm not gonna actually say the sentence and it was my fault no because you might freaking buy that and use it for other stuff

get the time stamp as well please And then we'll play that at the start of every intro. I'm never giving you that. My name's Brittany Hockley and it was my fault. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Forever. Now into perpetuity.

I'm not saying it was my fault. I'm just saying one step can be excluded. All right. Well, look, let's get into. We've moved on. Let's get into all of the wedding details, the chat. Firstly, you guys have had to change your plan because up until recently, you were never meant to come back to Australia.

Britta has been saying that the wedding was happening. you had a few days in Bali and then more than likely you were going to have to head back to Italy but clearly you're here in the flesh so welcome yes uh so every every football team has a sort of different off-season different plans and now they've swapped teams to Italy they have a longer break and all that kind of stuff so luckily I managed to sneak a couple of weeks and how long are you going to stay here for still not confirmed but hopefully minimum two weeks minimum two weeks yeah so up and we only knew the week of the wedding that he was able to come here he didn't have a flight booked.

He had nothing. So we always were going to have two days in Bali and that was it. Then he was going home. So I don't want anyone to think I lied about that either. But that came the week of the wedding. He said, look, it's still up in the air. I'm going to book a flight to Sydney.

And if they need me to come back, I'll come back. So we're unsure how long he's going to stay here for. But I said, I'll take you for as many days as I can have you. I'll just turn my phone off now. So when they tell me, I'm just like, I'm sorry. No, baby, you need a job. It could be a week, but it could be up until two weeks, three weeks. It could be three weeks.

Yeah, it could be up to three weeks, sort of end of June, early July, really, which is really good. What I usually get is just this year was going to be a little bit shorter. And I know that this isn't specifically wedding related, but it is obviously a question that we get asked almost every day. And that is like, what's the plan now? Or there is no plan now? Lol, Kano. I feel like we have this conversation every year. It's the same thing. We don't know. We're going to maybe do this, maybe do that. It obviously depends on which team I'm going to go to or if I'm going to remain or whatever.

Like a lot of open questions. The plan's the same. It's like we are married and we'll be long distance again still because we still both have our lives. Ben's life is still in Europe somewhere. Mine is still here currently. We are making plans for the future to spend more time together. We just don't know what it looks like yet. But if we have a baby, 100% we're going to be together.

There is no way in hell I'm going to have a baby on my own. And I wouldn't want to do that to Ben. yeah i wouldn't want to let you be by yourself and i want to be part of it you know of course not just the 30 seconds beforehand you know what a fantastic contribution yeah the fatherhood process of making this baby yeah so for the rest of this year for those asking it does that question comes to us every day we're just going to get back to how we were we're going to be long distance it's not normal it's not ideal it's not but i do feel like that this is the year that you guys will have a plan at least at the end of the year we'll have a plan there's

hope yes yeah well Ben in terms of like your family coming over from you know coming to Bali from overseas for us and from being in Australia it's almost like the easiest hop skip and jump like we do it all the time but that's like quite a journey in terms of your family who came can you kind of give us a bit of an overview of like who it was that traveled for the wedding yeah so most of my family tried to make a big holiday out of it because obviously long pretty long flight your mom said said someone asked oh like how long are you staying around the wedding and she goes well i'm not just coming here for the wedding for three days that was totally deadpan she's being so literal she's being like me she's like well i'm just let you know i'm not just she was like i

wouldn't just travel all the way here just for a wedding she's like clearly we're having a holiday and your stepdad was like you would travel here just for their wedding it is your son never have a fight they started fine she was so literal about it yeah that's the swiss yeah which is very us So, yeah, mom, stepdad or dad, really. My sister and husband, who it has been the highlight of the wedding, I think. Then we've got my best man, couple of friends and my auntie. And that was kind of it. So a small, small group compared to your crazy lot.

But a lot of Ben's friends and family, it was their first time in Bali. And you, I mean, Bali is so amazing because you can live, you can get these beautiful villas and eat so well. And you're getting massages and it's so much cheaper than anywhere else. like that's why all of the australians love it they were just beside themselves they were all like we're moving here this is the best holiday with it like they were living like kings and queens and everything and they're all the swiss are moving to bali it's gonna be an influx but it was it was really cool but ben and i were meeting each other's friends and families a lot of them for the first time as well which was a weird thing like to have people on each other's

sides at the weddings that you've only spoken to on facetime or so that was really cool but that's why we had a welcome party so we had a big white party the night before everyone wore white except us it was on this beautiful beach club like cliff and that was to break the ice so that we could all meet each other and all of our friends and families could meet too and that way it's not like that awkward conversation on the wedding like you know first time meeting people at a wedding but also it is unusual because I'm sure that there are so many people who've listened to this or listening to this who have married someone who is from overseas and like it is an instance where you end up meeting people at a wedding whereas like normally if it's someone who's from the same city same town

usually it's like the opposite it's like we're not having people at the wedding who each other hasn't met but in your case it's like that's an impossibility because yeah yeah there's so many people in each other's lives that you were meeting for the first time yeah we had like one you know both sides of parents and siblings like Christmas together and that was kind of like the the main thing and then everybody else is like I'm still trying to put names to faces and all of course so but it was really good from my side everybody tried to speak english as good as they could which was funny to me because i know they definitely can't speak english but everybody made an effort to speak with each other which was really nice and i think there'll be some some

friendships going on now between between the two yeah one one of my friends is wants to go to borneo with my auntie on an orangutan tour yeah random simon simon but also one of your groomsmen your best man yeah you said in your wedding speech that he learned English when you asked him to be your best man for the wedding yeah and it was a task he took on so that he could do a speech at the wedding yes he did amazing he honestly he could he couldn't say hello in English which is basically the same word but uh I normally get random texts and saying hey I'm trying to do this can you translate that for me and I'm like this is literally like hello how are you and he wouldn't understand his English was like you couldn't have a conversation yeah and

And so when I told him, he was obviously very honored, but he was like, damn it, I've got to do this in English now. And I said, yes, it would mean a lot if you could do it in English. That is a huge responsibility to be like, hey, can you please be my best man, but also learn another language? Thank you. Bless him. He did amazing.

For one year, he took English lessons. He came through, he took English lessons. He had somebody help him because sometimes when you try and translate jokes one-to-one, it doesn't really translate into another language, but I think he smashed it. Yeah, he killed it. it was really special and I think for anyone when you said your speech and everyone realized that that was something that he'd taken on because he cares so much about you like that was I mean I think that was amazing yeah it was really beautiful I would love to know a little bit

around like the pre-planning of the wedding and like the day of the wedding before you walked down the aisle Brit and before everyone arrived how did the day go and did it go to plan Ben and I I mean we haven't really done anything traditionally but we decided to spend the night together you know traditionally you're supposed to spend the night apart the bride and groom they don't see each other for 24 hours I mean I thought we never see each other through the year anyway I'm not going to spend another night apart from him so we I mean we were doing things we probably shouldn't have we went and played like racket sports so a big a big group of us we went to the gym and then we went to play paddle tennis and this is where it all unraveled 24 hours before

a wedding you probably shouldn't be playing ball sports so the best man that we were just talking about eve i was on his team and he it's funny that she didn't pick me as her teammate she just walked over to him and said i play with eve it's because you guys are so competitive and it's always against each other not not competitive with each other well i was also trying to bond with your best man anyway so he smashed the ball it came off his racket like i was a meter away smashed into my face into my tooth my lip went up into my tooth it was one of those moments where you're like oh my god this is funny oh no no it was one of them ones and it was like you get the ice and bridge just kind of look i think you were close to crying i was yeah really hurt it was like

on the floor he's like he can't believe what he's just done and but i know it deep inside he was laughing his head off i was laughing so hard everyone was laughing except me i was crying because my tooth went through my lip keisha was there filming the whole thing and she's like great content whatever and Britt's like holding her face and she's like just tell me just be honest with me just tell me do I have a fat lip well no I thought I chipped my tooth it was it was a full-on it was really really hectic and all I could think of was like oh my god I've chipped a tooth my lip's gonna be fat anyway once Keisha stopped getting the content filming she she ran and got some ice and I had I sat down for like the next couple of hours and just had ice on my face

anyway I took it off eventually and I looked at the guys and I was like how are we looking because I hadn't had a mirror yet. Okay. She looks at it. She's like, just let's keep the ice on for a little bit longer. And I was like, is it that bad? She's like, it's fine. Just let's just keep the ice on.

Anyway, thank God it was mainly all on the inside. It was only cheek a little bit as well. And it was one side of my face, but within 24 hours with the makeup on, you couldn't see anything. It was free Botox basically. It was just a little. No, it's filler. Filler.

Same thing. So yeah, that was what we did the day before, which if I can give anyone any advice. that he's having a wedding no contact sport no ball sports within 48 hours at least before the wedding but then we spent the night together we just like all had dinners ben and i went to bed together woke up together we spent the morning together like we came out into our balcony we wore our matching seagrass t-shirts which is vomit in the mouth which was really cute and then we sort of like watched them build our wedding like our wedding overlooked the stage and yeah it overlooked the stage and we were watching the flowers come in and we were doing that together

that, which was really, really special. I think you guys did it a little bit differently in terms of having a first look that was before the actual ceremony. What were your decisions around that? And like, why was it that you wanted to do that? And you also had photos taken at that time too. Yeah. So the way that our villas worked, so it's at Pandawa estate, that's what it's called. And I can't recommend it enough as a wedding venue because very private, you can hire six private villas that all have pools. You can have them singly or you open gates and the fences and you can go between so I was when we said goodbye to Ben we're like see when we get married and we had this very strict schedule like people know when you're getting married you have a schedule so I'm

up in my room and I'm like on a second floor and I can look into the other villas across the way the gates were open between the fences because people were building anyway I'm dressed done ready and I look out the window and I'm like is that Ben and I can see through the gate to the next villa he's floundering around the pool with his friends like he's in a beater at a party like having a full pool party anyway the speakers out everything throwing balls across the pool how far past the schedule were you at that point two hours whoa look we had we had very different preparations no everyone has the same schedule yeah same schedule but different preparations so we say we spent the morning together as we probably say goodbye at like nine o'clock

and then the bridesmaids got their makeup, their hair and everything. I didn't have to do anything. I get dressed in 10 minutes. But there's still a schedule for a reason. Yes, but I only need 10 minutes. So I'm going to spend some time in the pool. He made his own schedule. So we went down to a little private bit with the boys

and we were, you know, playing cards, playing music and all that kind of stuff. Can I just say there's nothing more infuriating that it takes a guy 10 to 15 minutes to get ready for their own wedding. I've been getting ready for 37 years. This is the argument I had with Matt before any event. So like say your wedding, like I'm getting ready. I've been getting ready for an hour and Matt was still laying

in his budgie smugglers on the bed on his laptop. I was fully dressed, ready to go. He's like, only takes me 15 minutes. Firstly, it never actually takes him 15 minutes. It always takes him longer than he thinks it does. No, I'm good with that. But still, you can leave for a formal event, walk out the door in 15 minutes.

So, okay, this is where it unravels. Let me tell you. This was the first marital fight that they've ever had. No, so I'm standing up on my balcony like the queen in my dress and I'm looking down at him and I call him. I see him. He's got his phone on the side of the pool. Picks it up.

Would have been worse if he hung up. No, I should have. Oh, it screamed me. Put it down again. He goes, hey, baby. And I was like, hey, baby, how are you going? He's like, good. I was like, you almost ready?

He's like, yeah. And I was like, lies. I was like, Ben, I can see you in the pool. I can see him looking around for me. And I was like, get out of the pool. He's like, I'm not in the pool. I was like, I'm looking at you. I was like, get out.

No, you're physically out of the pool because you're on the phone, but you're still in the pool area. No, he was on the phone in the pool. The water was still up to his nipples. Anyway, so I make him get out. So there's three groomsmen. So the bridesmaids are ready. We're done.

Three groomsmen. So there's Ben, my friend Simon, who was in his suit, JL4, J and Eve. So Ben gets out. Now, I have told Ben that he has to dry clean his suit because he decided to wear his wedding suit to somebody else's wedding a week before just the bottom okay hit me out a week before i was like babe how about we keep the wedding suit for our wedding let's just get you a different suit for your friend's wedding which is in another country five days before he's like no no no no it's cool cool cool so anyway he wears his wedding suit gets them dirty so i said

you have to dry clean them the day we get to bali or there'll be no time it's not something that gets done in a day takes three to four days and we were only in bali three days before the wedding two days before the wedding babe did you send your stuff off for dry cleaning when we got here and he's like oh fuck i forgot i'll do it now so he calls up and they say sorry you're a fucking punishment dude sorry sir it takes three to four days the wedding's in two days and i was like you're kidding me ben i was like sort this out go and sort it out so anyway he calls around he's throwing money around he's like do what you've got to do to find a dry cleaner he's anyway he's like babe sorted got it it'll get delivered the day of the wedding i don't care at this point i'm

like as long as it comes so this is the wedding day they're all in their suits i would like to say we have a snitch on our side because you're not supposed to know this it's jay so somebody we all know it's jay has jay has a habit of giving away things jay would absolutely so jay but i have my own story on jay i'll get my revenge okay so for context jay is sherry's husband sherry is brit's sister so jay is very evidently the leak so no jay wasn't a leak because he had his own issues none of the groomsmen were the leak because they all fucked up so ben gets his suit out it is like a suit for an ant the dry cleaner it has it shrunk the zipper doesn't do up he had to pin his zipper with multiple pins i initially thought they gave me the wrong pants back he

couldn't get his thighs in that is way too small and why is it he was wearing leggings and i put it on and i went and they were here they were like they were like up here i was like all right um maybe i just leave the socks and just wear the shoes you know like modern style yeah like a crop a crop formal pin yeah and then i got all the boys in all the boys that were there like boys what are we thinking and they're like yeah not great and i was like right okay let's get a steamer some water and maybe expand them a little bit let's maybe do some squats in the in the pants and yeah it turns out we um had to go to a tailor and add about five centimeters to my legs yeah this is the day of how did you how did you get five centimeters added to pants well did they

have a trim they were like patchwork it's just patchwork they were from a factory they were really long where you you just do them yourself once you buy the suit and this is where jay comes in so we bought the suit together in italy for for all the groomsmen jay tried his on he was the only one there is like cool top fix bomb bomb gotta do this he gets there and he goes oh i'm done i'm tailored my pants also an hour before the wedding an hour before the wedding and i'm like right and then that's before i even discovered that i needed to do mine so i was obviously like jay come on like you're supposed to be the organized one i put my pants on and so his are too long mine are too short and he was just one of the many things they cut jays and

one of the many things that nearly derailed the wedding it was the ring then it was the pants then my zipper wouldn't do up because they were so tight so i had to do the what you call them no we had to pin oh our wedding has his so my sister i do i do want to say i did notice that your pants were pinned but only at the reception yes because i was standing you were standing and i was like that looks and i was like oh they're pinned i was like that's a disaster and the funny thing was so when when the guests arrived i had to go past the room all the groomsons were staying in and obviously we had to hide and you know to be after the first look and then my sister comes in i said becky i've got a problem i've got a have you got safety pins so it's like yeah so she did

the safety pins in my crotch becky's on her knees with the wedding planner with the wedding planner walking in and all she can see is me standing there with my pants sort of halfway down with my sister like on her knees standing there and i'm like i'm holding my shoulder up like to my nipple so she can get it done. And she just walked in and she just looked at us. I'll give you a moment. Yeah. We're a really close family.

She's like, secret safe with you? Yeah. Yeah. Look, I think our preparation has been very different. We haven't finished yet. So Jays, when you get suits, they're made to be particularly long so that anyone can see them. So they're not just a little bit long.

Jays were like over his feet. So he had to emergency sell them to a tailor. Now we're two hours behind schedule anyway because they're still in Ibiza having a party. Then Simon, the other groomsman, also forgets. He's like, oh, my God, the pants are too big. I forgot a black belt. So he gets a tenner out and asks one of the staff to go down to the shop

and get a belt, a black belt. I did see the belt. So the staff go down. This is like what is happening on the men's side, right? You've had a year to prepare. The staff go down and come back with a black leather belt that says Playboy on it, like with a Playboy bunny, with a Playboy bunny. But it's P-L-A-Y-B-O-I

Playboy Because it's Bali So now he's wearing like a porn star belt At the wedding Ben's don't fit His zipper is pinned Jay's looks like a clown He's too long

And I thought what? What have I done wrong for this to happen? Again, I don't know how this information was fed back to you Because we were having fun We were having fun We were having a good time We were chilling All the boys were having a good time

We were eating food we're smoking some cigars might have to bleep that out depending on my new team but anyway we were all chilling this is part and parcel of getting ready

when you're with the boys it is okay I really just it needs to be said it needs to be said it's all funny it's all fun and games

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha this is normal there is nothing more infuriating dude that as the woman you are stuck doing all the organization and you can't even get

a pair of pants yep like for your wedding your wedding suit An event that's been ready for a year. But also like I know that there will be a lot of people that relate to this.

The reason why you're able to flap around and not have pants and everything else is because somebody has done all the organising. So it's like, you know, thank you, Brittany. You did an amazing job of organising your own wedding. That's all I needed. Thank you. No, I did need that pat on my back. But I couldn't even be mad.

I was like, whatever. You're like, finally, 37 years, someone's marrying me. I'll take him. This is not going to stop me now. He's in his active wear. So yeah, we did, we did do the first look and we did that probably two hours before the wedding and we chose to do that. Not necessarily because I wanted to, I would have loved the first moment to have been down the aisle, but people had traveled so far from all over the world and

everyone keeps talking about how quickly weddings go. I wanted to get a lot of the photos out of the way so that I could just be present and spend as much time possible with the guests and at my own wedding. Because everyone says you get married, then you go off for two hours, you lose your whole cocktail hour are you so we decided to do that and get as many photos out of the way as possible so we could enjoy the wedding and that was the main reason and it was a I don't regret it it was a really nice moment between the two of us yeah and one of the questions was we didn't walk down and tap on the shoulder you know those all the first look videos we didn't do that we just had I was probably 20 or 30 meters away yeah Ben turned around and we looked at each other and I

walked it was like walking down the aisle because I wanted to have that moment like we would have had on the aisle so i was like walking towards him and one of the questions was a lot of the questions was did ben cry and yes he did i don't know it's something really bothered me in my eye it was just it's really the dress was really bright no you were you you looked incredible you looked stunning and because i was so relaxed it never really i never got nervous or anything before the before the wedding before the ceremony i was more worried about speeches and the first dance and all that kind of stuff and then when I was waiting for you where you were 40 minutes late but anyway that's when it sort of hit me my my dad came down and said hey big man just enjoy every

moment and I was like oh like now it's it's actually it hits me like I'm getting married and and got a little bit emotional and stuff so it did surprise me because Ben actually ended up crying more than me like I cried sporadically through the day I kept like before in the lead up i kept thinking about it and how happy i was and i'd have little tears but in the moment again i was just giggling like i giggle a lot in those moments much like our engagement awkward giggler yeah and you were um yeah you were really emotional which was like i loved that did you expect to get that emotional like i guess like how did you feel when you first saw brit and like were you expecting that kind of reaction i mean i knew brit was hoping no i wasn't as a joke as a joke yeah as

a joke i do actually we could probably find the audio of brit saying he better cry when he sees me and like you guys know that's my mo i'm always going to be silly but on the night before the wedding i said to ben you know i'm joking about that i said just be you react however you want it does not mean anything to me how because the worst thing is you don't want someone to feel pressure like i was like you know that i joke i didn't want him to do anything or be anything or be anyone or feel like you have to play up to some sort of a character and you would know anyway you would know anyway if I did but I'm not an actor I can't fake cry but I sort of knew then I was like I'm probably gonna gonna be emotional yeah for sure I just thought wow and I was like

the dress is way bigger than I thought way bigger than I thought I had Keisha's exact reaction yeah I I sort of guessed the dress a little bit because Brick kept asking me she's like what do you think I'm gonna wear what do you think I'm gonna wear and I was like I'm I'm not gonna say anything because you gave it away she's not good at keeping secrets no i think what gave it away was i had to request a four meter wide aisle the aisle was so big yeah but i don't know that why would i know you're on the meeting but whatever so one of the big decision makings when it comes to planning around a wedding is song choices and i know that they were particularly important to you can you talk us through like how did you

decide on what was going to be the aisle song and also what was the first dance song so we decided on the bridesmaids song like that the party was walking down to two hours before we didn't know what we wanted to do we just like sort of googled love songs until we found one that we liked and we went with an acoustic version of I love you always forever because that's a great song it's a banger everyone loves it but it needed to be more acoustic and then for the aisle song my wedding present to Ben and I hadn't told Ben this so we were picking, we were trying to decide between the aisle song. It was Ben's idea to say, ask on Instagram, you know, ask everyone what's more important, the aisle song or the first dance

song. Now I already knew what the aisle song was going to be, but Ben didn't know. So I had to sort of like play along with this, that like, what song would we possibly use? So I had as a wedding present to Ben, organized with Sam Fisher to create a song that was for us, just for us. And Sam was going to originally come to the wedding and sing it but then he got this really huge gig in London that was far more important and I was like it's more important you get paid go to London so he recorded the song for us anyway and so that is something I'd been working on with Sam for quite a while and Mitch Chury was our MC fantastic job he was like a comedy stand-up session from start to the end and the only he was one of the only people that knew that I had created this song

for Ben and myself and it's called Till I Die. I'll see if Sam will release it. It's actually so good. And so I had said to Mitch, the night is yours. Do with it what you will. I know you'll nail it. But there's one job that you, like one thing that you need to do. The schedule changed and he was stressed.

The schedule didn't change. If he told you that, it's because he made a mistake. The schedule, he told us before we arrived, he was like, I've just gotten this and, like, stuff has changed. And he was stressed out beforehand. He's full of it. It didn't. I love you, Mitch.

But anyway, this didn't change. Even if the schedule changed, I have the messages. I've got the receipts. I said to him, the only thing you need to remember is once the bridesmaids have walked down, before I come down, you say, Ben, like listen really closely to this song because this is your wedding present from Brittany along with Sam Fisher, Sammy singing it, like this is a song made for you guys.

Because otherwise Ben wouldn't know. He's just going to hear a random song playing. I stood there and I knew the song that was going to come. And I know the song's like two and a half, three minutes long. And I stood there and I went, we're about to run out of music. What is going on? And then because the setup of the villa, I saw Brit at the top and I'm like, we're running out of music here.

And I turned around to my grooms and Becky, I was like, shit, we were about to run out of music. Because Ben just thinks it's a random song playing because so Mitch forgot to say what I asked him to say. So then the music's coming on. I was like, oh, I hope they've got a backup song. and then I was like it changes mid-wall

yeah and I was like oh no Britt's not gonna like that one and then the song and then Sherry to be fair she was a saving grace she was

she was standing there for the bridesmaids she's like Ben listen listen and I was like and in that exact moment the lyrics were

we walked across the street hand in hand so I recognised this moment of our beginning if you will yeah and I was like

oh this makes sense the lyrics are about us and then I realised but Mitch was just when and now Brittany Hockley made a song for Ben like I was like surely that's not planned that yes so the one mistake that Mitch made was that when Brit got to the end of the aisle and they just seen each other for the first

like being able to like embrace no we weren't even embracing I was still walking Mitch announced over the door really loudly and quickly everybody listen to this because this is a really special song that Britney made me send picture for Ben Ben make sure you listen to the lyrics songs over I'm already down the aisle and I was like, I mean, it's fine. It worked out because Sherry was the only other person that knew. So Sherry, when Sherry realized that Mitch forgot accidentally, bless you, love you, she looked at Ben quickly and was like, listen, listen, listen, like this is for you. Because Ben was like, Ben was looking for the wedding planner being like, this is the

wrong song. I was looking over there to the DJ booth. I'm like, what are you doing? Yeah. What's going on? So that was a really special moment for our aisle song that we had together. To be fair, Mitch did a great job. He did.

I do want to say it is very stressful emceeing because he didn't just emcee the wedding like the reception emceeing a ceremony is a different kettle of fish and that is hard it looks so easy for him he was I'm sorry he was thriving he was doing like full stand-up pieces he also took his pants off at the start of the reception and I was like the internationals are not sure about this no I think they loved it was like covering his own ball sack and getting into a pair of shorts and I was like please Mitch yeah it's too much this is not a life uncut live show put your fucking pants on. But that's what I mean. Mitch, Mitch loved that. I'm sure he's going to ask me for footage. He'll make it into a show reel. It's going to be like what he's going to use to get

jobs. So we love Mitch, minor technicality at the start. Then the first dance song was the same song that we have used from the day we met. It was our song where we hard launched our relationship. It was our song we put to our engagement video. It's now our song for the wedding. So it was teddy swims all that really matters in the end which is like a really really cool song so that was they're all like the main the main songs and one thing i did want to say is as another present you lifers will know in our discussion group you might have seen that one of our lifers who's been in there from the beginning her name is minna she actually wrote a song for ben and myself and she posted it and it was beautiful and i actually worked alongside her privately we were trying to

get it to the exact level that i would want for the aisle song and we couldn't quite get it in time but we did create a song she's she's so amazing if anyone wants anything written and created she did an impeccable job you can find her on the discussion group but she also created a song with me separately that i have given to ben and you love it i've got our own i've got my own wedding album now yeah about our love story no it was really nice and once i realized this is like a song about us and listening to the lyrics because you normally you just listen to the music you go over it and then like seeing you there coming out of this massive massive i don't know what it's called like it it's like it almost like a portal yeah it was almost like a portal and

you came down and then i was like listen to the song but i have a question why does everybody look at the groom when the bride comes out yeah you literally came out and everybody looked at me and i'm like what are you looking at me for i feel like they look at both they look at the bride and they look for a reaction they look for the reaction and you didn't have your zipper done up so they were probably looking at that as well yeah that was an issue damn it's so presumptuous what do you think was your and i'll ask you guys this individually but what do you think was your highlight of the day oh i mean the whole thing i have so many and i can't wait to share with you guys like i know you're asking like the videos and stuff are incredible i do have a few one of

the things for me the first look like the first moment first look yeah i feel like that's a no brainer that was really special because it was a really big moment that we've been waiting for for so long and like seeing each other for the first time and and like i felt i've never felt more beautiful i just felt i was the happiest i've ever been i felt stunning like my dress my makeup my hair you were like a little girl you were like so happy glowing giggling like standing there and everything the glow was sweat it was very humid it was 90 humidity but then another surprise that i had for Ben and I don't know if this is a highlight or a low light for you Ben it's a highlight it's a highlight I um it could have been a low light but it's a highlight for like the last six months I've

been learning German and it is so hard and I learned my vowels in German so that I could surprise Ben at the end of the aisle and it was definitely I mean it wasn't supposed to be comedy but Ben found it very funny how did she go in terms I mean to us who don't speak German like I mean it sounded slightly butchered but like fine no it was it was actually flawless it was perfect and we had the couple from Germany and they were like we understood everything and the difference between high German and Swiss German is quite big so she did it in high German because Swiss German is impossible to learn and I understood everything it was brilliant and then after she showed me her trial runs and it was hilarious I have never laughed so much in my life

it was brilliant so my hairdresser alex who came over with me is also from like almost the same town as ben so i've been doing lessons with him bless him for months and months and months and we would do voice messages back and forth and at the start we have voice messages to each other where he's like it's okay i don't know how we're gonna get there but we'll work on it and then to hear ben say at the end that i nailed it and it was flawless is the biggest result i could have because it was I was so nervous and I was almost embarrassed to do it if it wasn't going to be perfect because it's like if you're going to do something you need to try and do it well but that was like definitely a highlight for me was that I nailed it and you understood what I said and I've

read her um vows and how she phonetically spelled the German words like to allow herself to pronounce them correctly honestly hilarious I was just like but which is funny because Eve my best man did the same for his english vowels so he would phonetically spell them differently so to make sure he which makes sense because like i mean i don't know how german's spelled but english is such a fucking stupid language german's stupid stupider if stupider was a word if stupider was a word it's stupider but i'm like i'm learning this now from trying to teach molly like molly's obviously reading and she's learning to write and stuff she'll ask a question she'll be like oh i know this word and she'll spell it out and you're like you would think it's spelt like that but

actually there's a gh in there for no fucking reason dude germans why why is it the same undentalist tinterfish that that was my last sentence of german is um so tinterfish is squid or octopus right so tinter is ink so he's ink translated ink fish but titer is tit so she said one of the practice and she said i love you titfish so i almost see my mouth i almost said i love you big titfish but uh no it was amazing and then my probably the next and last highlight would be we had some incredible fireworks so hazardous yeah but incredible guys the first dance so britain band did their first dance then fireworks went off and the fireworks were so impressive we were a real hazard they were 4d we were we were so close like i think that like in

australia there must be restrictions on how close you can be to fireworks in bali those restrictions do not count and it was like the first two went off and i got hit by fucking shrapnel on the arm and then i like i retreated to the back because i was like this feels deeply unsafe so we did this it was pretty amazing we'd organized the fireworks to go off at the same time as we dipped on the first dance so like we did the dip the first dance i haven't seen the footage yet i think it was great beautiful yeah it was really beautiful i put a dance with the stars moving footage already god damn it i don't have it i've got it i'll send it to you do you have the first dance yeah the whole thing the whole thing i've been asking people anybody got a video i want to see you both

have the whole thing yeah we filmed it from start to finish great we would just love to see it because we've we've been dying we've been done doing so much practice i'm like i could post some photos i've got all this shit in my phone i want to share and then um anyway so ben and i we did the tip then the fireworks went off and they were incredible like it felt like it was the new year's eve at sydney so we're watching it we're like wow we're looking up at the sky carly we're like whoa beautiful oh oh because like the strap was burning you it was so it was so close and everyone like everyone was enjoying it but then everyone had this real sense of unease like they were all a bit concerned yeah it was like we wanted an immersive experience so we gave you

the feel of it as well but the burns weren't like hardcore burns they were just little like just the shells sometimes would hit you and obviously they just come out of the back of something that's molten lava so they were like a bit hot when they hit you but apart from that fine no no it was very funny so what were your highlights like you've said every bar but his might be different ben was like swimming in the pool before yeah to be fair we did end the night by swimming in the pool again And we all jumped in the pool at like midnight or whatever, which was fun because some of the parents got involved and aunties and stuff.

Because you would assume the young people would jump in and all the oldies would be like, what did we do? My mom jumped in before me. Yeah. Nikki was straight in there. Highlights. Oh, ice cream. Ice cream cart, for sure.

Oh, Ben's famous ice cream cart. My only and very successful contribution. Well, fireworks, but I didn't actually do them. I just wanted them. But the ice cream cart was a highlight. Great flavor choices. thank you very much well done i enjoyed it i went back for seconds so thank you i had vanilla and cookies and cream i ate like i was pregnant that wedding i ate literally everything even things

that i was like i probably shouldn't eat that i might get listeria fuck it let's see the ice cream cart was a raging success we managed to cull 16 flavors to eight yes i was forced i was forced yeah thank god i mean you had to cut costs somewhere right it was pretty lavish well they we just don't have a cart for 16 flavors it was just too many ben how do you feel now post-wedding back in australia everything done and dusted i mean we had an amazing three days i mean we had the the welcoming party we had the ceremony and after we had the the day party which everybody was just chilling and there was more chatting and stuff going on so i had the most amazing three days ever because i got to spend it with obviously you your family my friends and everybody

a great time we were very lucky with the weather I think it rained either side of our three days yeah the other really special thing that I didn't say or that I haven't told you guys yet and I get to have that forever is that my dad married us so my dad walked me down the aisle with my mom and then my dad was the celebrant so he no one knew that and then he'd been preparing for months and I get to look back at that moment and that footage and the feeling and have him be the person that you know gets to say you know i now pronounce you and i'm so proud of you and that was a really special moment for us to have yeah because obviously it's an important moment and like all celebrants are amazing but to have somebody that's like i'm so close to my dad so to have

him be that person that did that for us is something that it was a really nice touch it was yeah it was one of my favorite things well what does it mean for you now because i mean no we made jokes at the beginning being like we're not actually married ha ha lol expensive wedding but like nothing legal what does it mean now in terms for now that you're here for several weeks yeah when will you do the certificate side of it for also anyone who's curious my girlfriend kaya who married me is also going to be doing the officiating of your wedding or your marriage yes we do have to lock that so what does that look like now but now that you're here you're like surely you can do it we can yeah we will and we need delilah as a witness yeah delilah

That was a big part of it. If you guys want to come, we do need a witness. Yeah. Keisha wants to live stream it to the lifers. Absolutely. Let's do it. Brittany's actual marriage, not the wedding, but the marriage. You guys can watch the live stream at the-

I mean, yeah, maybe. Can we get a sponsor? No, sorry. The wedding was exceptional. The wedding was really expensive. Can we get a sponsor? Emco Beauty, swipe up. Yes, Emco.

Looking at you. You can do your wedding look for the day. Registry. Maybe you guys send me in a location in Sydney. you can still have a beautiful location and like because we still get to get some nice photos Delilah's there so I do want photos with Delilah that was a big part that I missed one thing we haven't spoken about yet when you say what are the highlights and low lights there was a very funny low light wasn't expected but we have to talk about the wedding cake

the wedding you can't even can you even call it a wedding cake so I don't know if you can explain it properly without seeing i will happen yeah please help us out wedding cakes firstly i think that they are unnecessary i think they're totally unnecessary nobody eats them especially when you also have dessert but how they ever get eaten and they're just for a photo op right okay but this is the reason we went for the wedding cake we did because i hate that no one eats wedding cakes so we picked something that everyone would genuinely want to eat i didn't even get to try our wedding cake i didn't even get to taste the wedding cake i saw you eat ours laura so yeah look brit and ben walk over to the wedding cake and we all get told to come over to the cake i kid you not this cake

looked identical to a four stack pizza it looked like someone had gotten four humongous supreme pizzas and layered them on top of each other it was covered in blueberries which looked like olives and then little cut up strawberries but they looked like cherry tomatoes what was the feta What was it that looked like feta? It was yogurt. It had yogurt on top, but it looked like it had white cheese garnishing. It was not what we've ordered at all. And when they cut it up and they served it around,

it actually looked even more like pizza. But I tried it and it tasted identical to cornflakes and fruit. Like it tasted like cornflakes and blueberries and strawberries together. It was. I need to get some photos. We will. Of what you ordered online versus what you got. Getting a cake on Timu.

It was Timu. It was like we went to a French patisserie is what we ordered and it was Timu. And I get – so in their defense, it was quite hard to find a Balinese cakery or bakery. And it also was massive. Like you probably just asked for something that was not feasible in Bali. Well, they said it was.

Yeah. And that is the problem. That is the problem. Same but different. You know, when you lie on your CV and you're like, yes, can do that, then they've gone, how the fuck do we do that? The funny thing is I have a little bit of OCD on the cake. A little bit?

I wanted every single raspberry and strawberry to be placed, not just thrown on there, right? No, he even said that. That was a request. Because optically, that's what I like and it's our wedding and I want what I want, right? Yeah. And I've seen it and it looked like somebody has taken

like full corn wraps. No, like tortillas. Like tortillas. Burnt them. Burnt them. put yogurt on blueberry yogurt on top and just went a handful of berries and just went that will do yeah it definitely had a scatter approach scattergun like someone had just like seeded the garden with the blueberries and the strawberries there was no to be some icing

sugar as well and ben and i hadn't seen the cake until the moment we went up there and so we walked up there and we stood in front of it and i think they've got this on camera we looked at each other and we're going to each other we're going what the fuck like what do we do now somebody set the fireworks early to distract the people like what's going on yeah we're like bring in the entertainment But we were like looking at each other going, what the fuck is that? And then we tried to cut it. It was so burnt. It went and just crumbled everywhere.

And I literally said, stop filming. I said, stop it. I said, take it away. No photos. Nothing to see here. But we had to laugh. We had other desserts, but we were devout. We were like, this was supposed to be.

I just need to show you what we ordered. Also, I'd love to know how much you actually ended up paying for a cake that truly was. It was $1,000 for that pizza. Burnt pizza. Was it really? Yeah, it was $1,000. which i would have happily paid for what we requested yes yeah yeah anyway so the lesson learned you might see for anyone listening it might sound like brit is being ungrateful the

cake was really bad and that no i'm not i'm not objectively it was a really bad day um i actually i'm so sorry no everything else was literally immaculate the cake was just so confusing for Everybody, every single person was like, why is the cake a pizza? They thought it was an ode to Italy. People were like, oh, it must be an Italian thing. It was like that moment out of Bridesmaids where you're like, don't look at me. I was like, look away.

You weren't shitting in the street in a wedding dress, Brid. It was slightly different. Okay, anyway, whatever. Well, guys, I feel like I've asked all of the questions that there is to ask in case they've missed anything. Is there anything else from the day that you want to share that I haven't? Oh, a big question. Interrogated you on already?

We didn't have sex. That was a big question. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm sure you've consummated since, though. Well done. The morning after. Yeah, in the morning. Technically, that still counts, right?

Technically. I think, statistically, and I'd love to put a poll up. Here it is. I knew we'd get a chance for a poll in this episode. Who is consummating their marriage on the day of getting married? Because come 10.30 when that noise restrictions come in, you're tired. You want to go home. It's a long day.

So we wrapped about 2 a.m., 2, 2.30, because we stayed up partying and stuff. and then we went it was so unsexy ben was like struggling to get me out of the dress then he was like massaging my ribs because the corset was so tight and then we got into bed and i he gave me a foot rub until i fell asleep because my feet were so sore that was as unromantic as it got so no sex but the next morning but yeah people are not people are not doing it put that pole up i know some people that do it in between so like after ceremony before reception they go and do it then so like when they're supposed to be having photos they'll sneak away for a quickie taking us hours to get you out of that.

Yeah, you weren't ever doing it because your dress was non-feasible. Laura took, at one point for my dress change, I had three dresses. Laura had to take me behind the toilet wall. I ripped her skirt off. Ripped my undies. She's pulling my undies up, ripping my skirt down. If anyone came behind there, they would have been like,

what is going on? Well, I mean, we've already seen Ben with his sister, so it couldn't have been that surprising for anybody else. Can you imagine if the other wedding guests would have been like, what the fuck is this wedding? I really opened my really friendly. No, Britt had her second dress. I had a skirt lining in it that could come off to make it

like the party dress. So I just, it wasn't a big deal, but I just went in and undid it. Well, I had to pull it up, pull it down. Then the undies came down. My vagina was out and she was like pulling my undies off. Nothing I haven't seen before. No, 100%. Anyway, guys, look, I know I've said it already.

I'm so, so happy for you. Mrs. Segrist, are you going to change your name? We haven't got that far yet. Let's get married first. You're like, I legally can't. And guys, we'll let you all know when you can join the live stream for Brandy's actual ceremony. yeah yeah if I live stream it you'll know but I thought yeah that's a done idea that's brewing

but definitely send me good if you know if you're a local Sydneyer a cute location that's quite private but with a nice view maybe that you suggest we could get married because we actually don't know where to go so I will change my name eventually to Seagrass that is a genuine question that people are asking but publicly I won't like I think I'll always stay Brittany Hockley just on documents and if we have kids and things like that but Brittany Hockley's just who I am I feel it. I get it. Laura Byrne.

I'm also really bad at paperwork, so I'll just be this for forever. Do you know I probably will never change it too. Anyway, guys, look, that is it from us. I feel like we don't need to do a suck and a sweet because clearly it's pretty fucking evident. Suck cake being burnt by the fireworks. But we will get back to our normal programming as of next week. There's been a few people who said that they suspected that maybe you were getting married because we had foregone doing suck and sweets on the last two weeks of episodes.

So people were suspicious. Well, also, Mitch was like, go to Bali. Laura's like, in Bali. Matt's like, also going to join Laura in Bali. So many different people were like, Bali. But to be fair, we'd already said on records that I was going over and my family always come over after a week of work. Mitch gave it away.

I blame him. Shock. Shock, Mitch. Well, husband, thank you so much for coming to Australia, for joining us on the podcast, for marrying me. Yeah, we're all grateful for that. Thanks for that. So for taking me off everyone else's hands.

And thank you for actually showing up in a pair of pants. I know that that was really stressful and hard for you to achieve. but i'm proud of you you could have never told that i wasn't stressed or anything you actually owe me so much with all my planning you ended up with no pants on our wedding day listen don't even respond it's another another day well you guys you know the drill actually you know what before you do that if you want to go and watch any of this on youtube we'll have some pickies on youtube as well so like you know there's your little push to go and get an exclusive if you love the episode leave a review if you have any more questions you can slide into the
