Starting point is 00:00:00 Okay, let's talk about the original enemies to lovers story. Before all of our reality TV couples, before the rom-coms, we binge, there was Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy in pride and prejudice. And Audible has just dropped a brand new original that will have you completely hooked, I am. It's not just any audiobook. This is a full cast performance. So Marisa Abella, you might know her from industry, brings Elizabeth Bennett to life.
Starting point is 00:00:25 And Harris Dickinson from Baby Girl and Where the Crawdads sing is Mr. Darcy. And honestly, the chemistry, you guys, it's everything. Plus, you've got icons like Glenn Close, Bill Nye and Will Polter in the mix. Talk about a dream cast. Now, what I love is how Marissa pulls you right into Lizzie's world, her stubbornness, her wit, her messy family dynamics, and of course, her complicated feelings for Darcy. And with a vibrant new adaptation and original score by Grammy-nominated composer, it just feels so fresh and modern while still keeping that timeless Jane Austen charm.
Starting point is 00:00:58 So whether it's your first time experiencing Pride and Prejudice or you've read it a million times, you're going to fall absolutely in love all over again. So go listen to Pride and Prejudice now at audible.ca slash Jane Austen. We're on with OTV. Podcast One presents Off the Vine, Grace Therapy. Caitlin Bristow's going to answer your questions. Drink to your confessions and hear what you have to say about anything Bachelor. Let's shake it up some more. Here's Caitlin.

Starting point is 00:01:43 I'm like, it's finally here. Blair, the Blorette, and Luke are engaged. We are. Hey. Hello. What the heck? Seriously. I can't even believe that it all, like, let's start from the beginning.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Okay, like the very beginning where I was like, I want to do some sort of contest to get somebody on my podcast. And I don't know if you've confessed this yet, but you didn't really know who I was. I knew who you were, but you didn't, but I, yeah, people are going to hate me for this. I never listened to your podcast before. No, I think that's funny. I think it's funny because look what it's created. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:21 And now I listen to your podcast. Well, yeah. I've turned you. Yeah. I turned you into a vinyl. But I was doing this content. like okay let's you know spread the word of the scrunchies they're back yeah let's do a contest we'll find somebody to come on the podcast it'll be a winner i'm like it'll probably be like you know
Starting point is 00:02:37 i don't know if i'll like vibe with the person it's going to be high risk high reward i don't know it's gonna be some crazy fan yeah i didn't know what to expect and so uh you were in nashville anyways which was perfect but there was nobody else we would have picked because blair goes ahead and makes this video where you wrapped and you're on like roller skates yeah and and And you had scrunchies in your hair and you made the scrunchy gang song, which we still all sing all the time. Oh, yeah, for sure. And so we picked, we see this video. We're like, whoa, that girl wins like by so much.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Like, you won. You took the cake by a long shot. And so we had you on the podcast. And it just, we just, the conversation was just, I was like, oh, I think I'm going to be friends with her. Like, what I know. Well, because I remember. So this, this girl at work, because I wore scrunchies all the time. And she told me, like, she was like, did you see Caitlin Bristow, like, from The Bachelorette, like, released a scrunchy line?
Starting point is 00:03:33 And I was like, oh, no, I'll check them out. Yeah. And so I looked and I was like, oh, they're really cute. And I was like, oh, she's doing a contest. And I just love contests. Yeah. And I was, I saw that it was to co-host an episode. And I was like, well, I've never listened to it.
Starting point is 00:03:44 But, like, she just seems really cool. I was like, I feel like we'd get along. So I was like, what the heck, I'll enter it. Yeah. And because I just thought to be a cool thing to do. And then, yeah, people are probably going to be mad. but hopefully they like me now but they won't no people will not be mad people will be like that's actually so fascinating and then you you you your people like cleo I think I have people
Starting point is 00:04:05 your people like they reached out and they were like can you do it I think it was was it the day of or the next day yeah it was the next day they were like can you do it tomorrow and I was like oh gosh I started like just like binge listening to it and I was like okay she does confessions let me think of something like yeah I was like I got to get prepared for this and then I had no idea what to expect but then yeah we just kind of like and the world is so small you were like a handler on next season of the bachelor i was a just a pa oh yeah i just which is crazy that's got alcohol and stuff like that but that's like again that's a fun experience to have you know like to be able to go to the mansion and but it's weird that you know that just ties kind of something together there
Starting point is 00:04:46 where i'm like okay you love scrunchies you worked on the bachelor anyway so fast forward then you come on the part oh people loved you so much they're like that conversation was just like two friends hanging out i can't believe you guys have never met before and then people kind of got invested in you as like a person yeah and then i was like we mentioned the you mentioned the doing the wear it and people were like this y'all need to do it oh right we came up with it that day yeah yeah and i was like that would be cool and like i remember telling my friends i was like so listen to like what we talked about and i was like i don't think it'll actually happen but like it's still like it was still just like so fun hanging out with her like she was great yeah
Starting point is 00:05:24 I was very into the idea. I was like, we're doing this. Well, then as soon as Cleo reached out and she's like, so are you actually interested in doing this? And I was like, wait, they're, they actually want to do this? Yeah. And I was like, I mean, I'm single as a Pringle. Like, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah. And we were like, we can give out dues. Like, will you accept this do? It can be a whole scrunchy thing. We'll put it on the IGTV that had just come out. Yeah. And it was so perfect because you work for CMT and you do producing and like editing. and it was it ended up being so legit i was like and then i was like well you know it's never
Starting point is 00:05:59 going to work so at least we had like fun episodes oh i didn't think so but then as soon as like things started happening i remember seeing luke's video so so luke your sister sarah sent in she she's a vino yes she listens and so she was like i heard blair and i just had she had like this intuition that you needed to meet blair and then she was like oh i'll so you were at work at the hospital and you were doing a night shift so she was like oh you're not doing anything like send in a quick video just talking about yourself well she texted him and was like hey do you think this girl is cute oh yeah and he was like yeah like why and she was like I want to sign you up for this day she's like well I signed you up for a day she had to send her the video though
Starting point is 00:06:41 she did all the paperwork yeah she didn't have to do a video like it would have been yeah it was like classic course you course he did yeah this is so cute thank goodness she did though Yeah, and so I saw, and I mean, we've talked about this on the podcast before, I saw the video. I was sitting right in this chair watching Luke's video and I was like, oh, this is her guy. Yeah. Like, well, I mean, I didn't think it would be this, but I was like, oh, this is going to be the guy that she likes. And did you know that like originally he said he couldn't come because the dates didn't work out? And so he like declined it.
Starting point is 00:07:14 My first, yeah, I was text. Yeah. Yeah, I got the email and they told me the dates. And I was like, sorry. Sorry, I can't make it. I just got back. I have no time off from work. Oh, no way.
Starting point is 00:07:25 And I was like, best of luck to Blair. I hope she finds love. No way. I was like, and I was like, close that book onto the next thing. I don't know what it was. But then they reached out today, they texted me like two days later. And I was like, it works out perfectly. I'm off this whole week.
Starting point is 00:07:40 And they're like, this is the time you can come. I'm like, yeah, I'll be there. Well, because I think everyone thought like this guy, like she needs to be this guy. It was. I remember. I remember saying, no, we need to get them. So I didn't, I guess now it makes sense that you couldn't do it because I remember being like, let's make a different date work because these two need to meet. There's just something.
Starting point is 00:07:59 That's crazy. I don't know. You know when people just like people who know you, Blair and people who know you Luke, like they probably just heard you on the podcast and then they know you. And you know people just make sense together. Yeah. Like you guys just make sense. It just was like, of course you need to meet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:16 And so then you went on all these dates and you came back and I was like, well, remember? I told you, I was like, I don't want to show you his face, but I think I know you're going to pick this guy. Yeah. And so then you came back and you're like, oh, yeah. Like, that's the one. I, well, because you showed, you finally gave in, you were like, okay, I'll give you a sneak peek and show me his picture.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Yeah. And then I asked Taylor. I was like, I was like, just tell me a name. Because she had said, too, like, we're really excited for the last guy. And I was like, just tell me his name. We were all excited. Luckily, all the poor other guys were like, no. Yeah. Luckily, Luke followed me. So it was so easy to find him.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Yeah. And like, I had a crush. on him I feel like before our date like I was like he's so cute his captions are witty like I feel like he's gonna have a good sense of humor like I was like yeah I literally texted my friends like they still have our text conversation and I literally said I was like I'm gonna need y'all to pray that this guy loves Jesus because I think he's my husband like joking around yeah now it's like wait you're gonna be oh wait it is your future husband oh my gosh I can't believe this all happened and that you're engaged okay let's take a break and talk about something we can all agree on and that's saving my Honey.

Starting point is 00:10:26 honestly since i've been here i totally forgot about that we did do that i know yeah because you guys you you did it really well you guys saw each other often yeah we saw each other usually like every two to three weeks yeah yeah luckily flights are cheap from national to philly so we were able to do that yeah that's okay wait i just am like remembering something so the first so when you asked him to accept your final due yeah and he had this whole plan that he was going to dip you and it was the first one i was like no no no you guys got to do that again i know because my hair got stuck on my chapstick when you dip me yeah my lipstick and it didn't work and i was like and it was your first that was not a good first kiss too and i was like do it again i got to get a
Starting point is 00:11:04 boomerang and then last night when you got engaged he did you yeah i know on the same bridge on the same bridge okay we'll get to that yeah so then okay you're crushing the long distance game then you decide we can't do long distance anymore So, Luke, with your job, you were able to come to Nashville. Yeah, I got it. And actually, so my recruiter, her name is Sam, she reached out to me from the show. Yeah. She followed, like, the podcast and like the Blaret and she's a nurse recruiter.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah. She reached out to me. She was like, hey, if everything works out, like, you can come, we'll get you a job down in Nashville, all this stuff. I'm like, all right, I'll keep in my back pocket if that time comes. No way. And I reached back to out to her. I was like, hey. Power of the vinos.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I know. I was like, it's time. Like, I'm ready to come down. and she's like all right let's do it and she got me and she's been crushing it ever since oh my gosh so that's how like i got down here me yeah my job super lenient with a wherever i want to go so that's so cool but yeah the transition was just like like like people were like is it weird now like being in the same city and i was like no like it just felt so natural and like he said it's like i forget we did long distance because now i'm like after not seeing him for a day i'm like i miss you like and i'm like how did we
Starting point is 00:12:21 do like three weeks sometimes not seeing each other i mean i know we face time yeah but still i was just like god i think long distance actually helped like i agree one you just focus on communication like because that's all you're exactly right talk on the phone and face time so it's like you just really get to know each other and then like once he was here it was almost just like completely exciting all over again and it's like i can see you whenever yeah yeah no i totally i mean i get it the i do agree with you jason i always talk about how long distance forces you to have great communication and that's like the only way a long distance relationship will last is if you have great communication. So then you really get to know each other and you like
Starting point is 00:12:59 find everything to talk about because that's all you have is talking talking. And okay, so then you move, screw the long distance, we're over it. Yeah. But you don't move in together. No. And so you're waiting until you get married. But I mean, now my question is you basically hang out all the time anyways. Do you know each other's living habits? Good and bad. I think we do. Yeah. I feel like here's the thing. He spent so much time together anyways. Like Luke is very clean. He's a lot cleaner than me. So usually I feel like that's the issues. Like you look like a girl and a guy moving together and it's like, oh, the guy's so dirty. And I'm like, no, it's. It's the other way around. Yeah. Well, I'm not dirty though. I just my clothes pile up on my floor.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Oh, don't even go in the room right now. Yeah. That's literally it though. Like as far as like, like everything else like I clean my bathroom I clean like I keep it clean so I'm like I don't think there's anything that we would like be surprised about I know people always ask that question but you're like yeah that's the thing it's not like back in the day where you like you know you wait to move in like you're basically spending all the time at each other's houses anyways you know so there's nothing that's really going to surprise you except for like maybe if you like toot in your sleep or something. Well, I tut not in my sleep. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You're an open tutor, which I love about you. I love that about you. That's like my favorite thing. The other day I accidentally. We were laying there
Starting point is 00:14:27 watching New Girl. Oh, I love New Girl. Yeah. And I was so tired. And so I was like, I was like, let's just like, because he had made dinner. And I was like, let's just like lay. Like we can watch it in your bed and like just like chill before I go home. And I farted. And I was like, I think I have to poop. So I lifted the sheets and it all came out. She hotboxed the sheets. I had farted like a minute before and I was like, oh, it doesn't stink. And then as soon as I lifted, it was like, whew. And he was like, babe.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And I was like, I'm sorry. I don't feel good. It was brutal. I love that. I mean, you guys are just already so comfortable with each other. And you're just like, yeah. It's so cute. I love your guys' relationship.
Starting point is 00:15:09 It's adorable. Okay. So let's get to the engagement. Okay. So then I'm going to actually, no, we talked on the phone. I was going to say, I was going to read the text that Luke said me, but he called me. And I was like, Luke's calling me. I'm like, they're getting engaged.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Yeah, I knew right away. Why else would he? Yeah, I mean, because Blair, we've talked about it before where you guys are going to Paris soon. Yeah, we're going to Paris, Amsterdam, and London in like three. Two weeks? Two weeks? Oh my gosh, that's like the perfect. Three weeks.
Starting point is 00:15:42 So I was convinced. Way to celebrate me and engage. I know. So, but I was convinced it would happen there. I was like, of course he's going to do it in Europe. Like, it's so romantic. Yeah. All this stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:52 So I, like, I was just convinced. You can ask everybody around me like they. Oh, I knew. You told me. Yeah, I told you. Like, I was like, oh, it's like, okay, Cleo even emailed her and Taylor emailed. And they were like, hey, we want to do like a one year update. Can y'all podcast next week?
Starting point is 00:16:06 And I was like, you know, I really think we should wait till it's actually our one year, which is in like a month. And I was like also between us girls like I think he's going to propose in Europe So I was like so it'll be a better update if we wait and they were like oh my god and like they knew too Yeah yeah yeah yeah everyone's probably like you but I love that I love that you didn't know and and so When Luke called me he was like she thinks she totally thinks I'm going to do it in Europe and I was like oh that's so true Yeah because you told me and then so he was like I have this whole plan um I mean you tell it I yeah um yeah so when i called you i was like that was early august and like at that point i like
Starting point is 00:16:48 as i was going to philly um i talked to erin mercer um who was blair's friend she did all the cord like pretty much helped me out with the coordination and everything like she crushed it helped me a lot um so yeah i called her i was like hey this is the date i figured it out and then the next day i called you and i was like hey this is what's happening yeah um i started screaming Yeah. And I gave you kind of like a base skeleton of what I thought I wanted the plan to be. And it ended up being practically that plan. Yeah. Like, and it fell through perfectly.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It was perfect. Yeah. And plus. I couldn't imagine anything better. Like, so, yeah. So I got everything around. Started reaching out to people, be like, hey, this is what's going to happen. Keep this date open.
Starting point is 00:17:32 That's pretty much what it was. Like September 27th. Keep it open. Yeah. And then slowly but surely. I just had started getting people around letting them know slowly had to be super super secretive
Starting point is 00:17:44 because she reads my mind and everything I'm actually surprised you didn't see it coming. Okay and here's the thing there has been like five things probably that I have seen but nothing gave away when, where or how it would happen
Starting point is 00:18:01 like I saw like one day he was like hey will you plug in my address like the address we were going to Asheville for the weekend. Yeah. So I like open his ways and like two places down was like King Jewelers. And I was like, I was like, oh shoot.
Starting point is 00:18:16 So I like didn't say anything. And then like he had bought a car one day and like the other like another dealership we visited had text like text and was like, hey guys, what are you all going to do? And so I was like, what did you say to the dealership people? And he like, he's like, I basically said what you told me to say. So I like went to like it was like two messages from the top. It was like just a phone number. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:36 And so I was like, oh, this is them. So I, like, clicked it to read what he said. And all I saw at the top was maybe, like it said, like, maybe Elena, which is, like, one of my best friends from college. And I saw, like, Aaron Mercer has. And I was like, nope, exit out. Oh, good. So I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:18:51 So Aaron's helping with something. Yeah. But, like, nothing. Like, there was so many times, like, and I never looked for anything because I wanted to be completely surprised. So I was like, I'm going to be so mad if I ruined this. Right. And, like, it was, like, so many things that I kept seeing.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And it would be like, no. But, like, nothing. Because, I mean, you guys have obviously talking. about getting engaged. Yeah, so I knew it was, like, one time we were cooking and I, like, screenshoted the recipe, clicked his photos, like, the app. Yeah. And open popped clearly, like, a ring album.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Well, but I clicked out so fast. All I saw was, like, Rose Gold, but I was like, I already knew that that's, like, he knows that's what I want. Right, because he had a Pinterest page. Yeah, because he was on my Pinterest board. Yeah. But, yeah, like, so it's just, like, so many things. And I'm honestly surprised, too, that I did.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I had zero ideas. Yeah. You did a very good job at planning and keeping it like, you know, on the DL as much as you could. Yeah. So you got all the friends and family together. People came from everywhere. My best friends from home. Yeah. From college, like my family. I got my family from up north to come down, which was amazing too. Because they all drove down actually, which is like a 12 hour hall down here. Yeah, they did. That's so sweet. There was literally only like a few people that couldn't make it. Right. Yeah. But other than that. And they were on FaceTime. I couldn't believe I was even home for this I was like I know it worked out perfectly I was like this is meant to be I was like what did I say I was like please I was like first off please tell me you're here on the 27th of September and you like look and you're like I was like oh my gosh I am I was like yes yes I know like I mean I guess we'll talk about the actual proposal in a second but like as I was getting closer and started like noticing people it was like oh my god like that's my mom like that's this person and I was like Caitlin's here like this person and it was just like I just couldn't stop crying.

Starting point is 00:27:48 if anyone's in Nashville wants a good workout go to title sorry besides the point but yeah so we were going to find a place I was like Bakersfield like I know it's I needed a place by the bridge yeah to get her to that point yeah yeah and I was like Baker'sfield was good. I was like, I want to try again. She's like, no, I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Yeah, because I'm like Bakersfield. I like it. She's not a taco person. Yeah, not a taco person. I like them, but it's just never my go-to. Like, if everyone wants tacos, like, I'll get tacos. Right. But, you know, and we went there like three to eight nights ago.
Starting point is 00:28:19 So I was like, let's go somewhere different. That was like a few days ago. So then yesterday, I was like, have we decided where we're going? And he's like, we're going to, what was it called? The farm house. The farm house. Okay. So I look it up and it's next door to Bakersfield.
Starting point is 00:28:31 I was like, is this a ploy to get me to Baker's feel? I was like, yeah. And he's like, no, but it looks really good. Like, we should try it. And I, like, looked at the menu and I was like, it's kind of, like, it's kind of expensive. Like, I'm paying for movers next weekend. Then I'm getting my hair done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:46 We're going to Europe. I was like, maybe we should like not go somewhere so expensive. And he's like, I want to go. It's like, I'm paying my treat. And I was like, fine. We'll go. Yeah. You know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And so then I'm like getting ready. well first it was like 4.30 p.m. And I had, I didn't have anything left to do at work. And so I told my boss, I was like, we should go home. And he's like, no, we're not going to rip the company off like that, which he never, he's usually like, yeah, let's leave. Yeah. And so I was like, I was like, fine, I guess I'll just stay.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And I was like, whatever, like, we're going to dinner downtown. I'll just stay till the end of the day. Yeah. We ended up going to Walgreens to get batteries because we had nothing to do. So he was like, let's get these bullhorns to work. And I was like, all right, let's go to get Walgreens and get batteries. So I thought nothing of it. And then I went in the bathroom, got ready.
Starting point is 00:29:32 And I was about to straighten my hair. And I was like, oh, that's a lot of work. And I was like, Luke loves my hair natural. I'll just keep it natural. Yeah. And then, like, my coworkers were all sitting there kind of talking. And somebody says something about makeup. And I was like, I have no idea how to put on makeup.
Starting point is 00:29:47 And I was like, this is all I ever wear. And my friend, my coworker McKenna, she was like, she's like, oh, can I put more, like, makeup on you? And I was like, no, like, I don't really like myself with a lot of makeup. and she's like, I'll just put a little bit of eye shadow. She's like, I just need a break. Like, I'm stressed at work. Like, I just need like a 10 minute break. And I was like, okay, fine.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Yeah. We'll put on some more makeup. Also, during the day, I decided to chip all the nail polish off of about four fingers. So I've got like three fingers with nail polish, two without, some with half. Yeah, but that I love that. Yeah. It's like, that's so, like, relatable. And also, I had pressed on nails in my bag and your girlfriend had press on.
Starting point is 00:30:28 on nails in her bag for you. And I literally made a joke to my boss because they were like, they were like, what did you do to your nails? And I was like, yeah, let's hope Luke doesn't propose on date night,
Starting point is 00:30:37 like joking. And they all said that they were, like, because they came to the proposal and they said they were all like, how do we get her to do? Like my coworker was like, I have nail polish if you want to borrow it. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:30:47 nah, it's okay. You don't know how many times I've tried to like try to get people together. Yeah. But like, they were good about it because they didn't want to press it. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Also, her nana has been on her since like, July. Hey, make sure your nails are done. You never know when it's going to happen. Oh, my friend sent in on group text and was like, I want to treat myself, so anyone want to get their nails done. And I was like, oh, like, sounds so fun, but I don't want to spend the money because I'm going to get them done before Europe. She's so set on Europe, which is great. Again, perfectly planned. Yes, I love that all this. You're just no idea. No idea. So anyways, then he picks, okay, I guess we'll start with the actual
Starting point is 00:31:23 proposal. Yeah, so I get there. I'm at Wells Coffee right next to her. We were giving so many natural places shoutouts. I love this. Everybody have your pen and papers out, write it down. These are great places. Yeah, great places. And I was like, hey, I'm going to Uber. She's like, oh, no, I thought I was going to come pick you up.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I'm like, no, I wasn't on my way. I was next door. I was like, no, I'm on my way already. Yeah. I was like, okay, I mean, that's a waste of money. Look at you, you little budgeter. Seriously, she tried to budget everything out. I was like, stop, please.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Stop, please. So, yeah, I get there. I pick her up to CMT. I have the ring in the back. of my belt. It wasn't in my pocket because I had my pants. That scared me by the way that it was just like in your belt loop. Yeah my pants. I practice like I
Starting point is 00:32:07 I practiced like I jumped around. I walked around for a while. He said he practiced how he was going to hug me to make sure I didn't like touch it. Yeah. I came under her arm so she had to wrap around my neck. I held her right yeah. But yeah so like I put it in my belt loop. It worked out great but we were walking down and I was chill. I felt good.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Yeah. Going the whole way down. We got down town closer to the bridge once we got closer to bridge i was like how am i going to get her to the bridge and i was like we have reservations at seven so we have time to spare usually we just go and get a drink at the bar maybe get early um yeah because he was our reservation he's like oh we're a little early and i was like we can just it was like six 15 yeah reservation was at seven and i was like well let's just i was like we can go to baker's field and get a drink before because i love their margaritas yeah great margaritas and i was like or i was like we can just go like though i'm sure
Starting point is 00:32:53 they'll give us a table i was like yeah let's just walk around thank goodness i was not hungry because He was like, let's just walk around for a little bit. And I had just eaten an entire box of Mike and Ike. So I wasn't hungry. I didn't know that. Yeah, so luckily I wasn't hungry. So I was like, okay, fine, we can walk around. And then he just, like, pulls me and we take a hard left to the pedestrian bridge.
Starting point is 00:33:15 And, like, of course. Which is where you gave him your final due. Yeah. So, full circle. Full circle. So, of course, like, in the back of my mind, it's kind of, like, but I feel like any time, like, even when we went to Chattano for my birthday weekend, it was like, would he propose but like but still it's like no he's yeah yeah yeah and so we like start walking on the pedestrian bridge and I was like I was like this is and I was like no and I'm like kind of
Starting point is 00:33:39 get a little start walking and then he starts talking faster I talked way too much I just wanted her to focus on me because Dylan and Caroline were in the cut like in the so Dylan and Caroline were your friends who play guitar and sing and they were singing you're the one that I want yeah so They have this. They have a cover. It's on Spotify. Go listen to it. It'll change your life.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It will change. It's so good. And I've like as soon as I heard it for the first time, Greece is like my all time favorite movie. And so I was like, this is amazing. So me and Luke listened to it all the time. Like one time the conversation, he was like, have you ever thought about like what we would dance to for like our first dance?
Starting point is 00:34:19 And I was like, honestly, I thought about like you're the one that I want. He's like, oh my gosh, yeah, because like we just listen to it all the time. It's so sweet, like all this stuff. So they start playing it while you guys start walking. And flightographers, they're doing photos. So you're trying to get her to pay attention to you so she's not. Right. Yeah, because we're walking and he's talking really fast.
Starting point is 00:34:40 And I was like, he's being. And like, yeah. Yeah, I was like, he's really like talking quick. He kept readjusting his hand. Like I was like some. So, but I was like, no. Your hand's clammy. I'm like, babe, it's 100 degrees and 100% humidity.
Starting point is 00:34:54 It was hot. But I was still just like, there's. no way that he's about to propose to me like there's no way and then i see like random photographer just like kind of pacing and i was like people do photos shoot there i mean there was like three other photographers taking pictures on the bridge i was just like no and then we're walking and then all of a sudden i hear i got chills and i was like and i turn around see dylan and caroline's like walking behind us singing and i just like lost it right now this is exactly i got chills yeah i like they saying I got chills and like I got chills
Starting point is 00:35:28 I had chills the whole time oh my god I said you right now they like hurt look at my goosebumps I'm like dying right now because it's just and they did it in the perfect way where they were just like their energy behind you and they were just feeling it and singing and walking behind you guys are walking middle of the pedestrian bridge
Starting point is 00:35:45 which is so beautiful nobody else like there was people but there wasn't like it felt like it was the sky was pink the bridge was just like lit up it was oh yeah so we're just like walking I'm like I looked at Luke and I was like I was like oh my god you're like oh you're doing it like she literally like so it happened she looked back and she then she literally like is this happening
Starting point is 00:36:07 like my nails aren't done yeah I did say that I said my nana's gonna kill me and so I'm just like crying and then I turn back around and I see a group of like 25 people I don't maybe more like lined across the bridge and I was I like look at Luke and I was like do I know those people? I was like I can't see and I was like do I know them and he's like yeah you know them and I was like oh my gosh and I'm just like crying and then as I got closer like the first person I noticed was my mom and I was like somebody said that I literally was like that's my mom and then it was like I noticed like I noticed like my friend Elena and Nate like they were standing there and then I noticed like Allie and And then I noticed my friend, Jessica, and I noticed his sister.
Starting point is 00:36:54 And so I just, like, realized, like, these are all my people. Yeah. Like, and, and then, what, like, he tried to twirl me, but I was just, like, couldn't move. She, like, could barely walk or talk. I'm telling you from, because I was standing with the group. We were all holding signs, like, and we were all singing with. Yeah, the last chorus, everyone started singing. And it was just perfect because you guys didn't rush.
Starting point is 00:37:17 You weren't like, oh, let's get to them. You really, like, I don't know if you even know you did this, but you guys. were just like enjoying every moment of walking and crying and holding hands and kissing and you kept kissing around the forehead, I'm going to cry. Really? I don't even heard that. And they were just singing behind you and the photographer and I'm just like, he is getting pure gold right now.

You want those. You were laughing and crying and like it was just pure emotion. And we were all just like crying and trying to sing. Ah, ha.

Starting point is 00:45:48 I don't remember. I'm like, and maybe I'll ask you the same questions. I don't remember. But, okay, what, okay, I'm going to ask one to Luke and then one to Blair and then you guys can go back and forth. Okay. What, Luke, what would you say is Blair's most irritating habit? Oh, when she is my passenger in the car. Oh, that's Jason's for me too.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Oh, my word. Love this girl to death. Yeah, but backseat driver. Whoa. Yeah. Okay. Okay, but can I just say, I'm like that with everybody. I think I have an irrational fear
Starting point is 00:46:20 of getting in a car accident me too which is fair and so like even the other day it was like it's not that I don't trust him it's that I don't trust other drivers because like he started to merge and an 18 wheeler started to merge too and I was like I was like look look look
Starting point is 00:46:34 and so he like got over I saw it yeah no you didn't you didn't because you were like where did that guy come from you didn't see him and so I have the same irrational fear
Starting point is 00:46:47 the thing I'm like that's why I say things because even if you did see him like I'd rather be annoying and be like they watch out then like not say anything and then we crash yeah it's the biggest ones that's a good one okay yeah that's fair I'll give that one but it's the one where it's like a hundred
Starting point is 00:47:03 yards away and someone puts the brake on she's like like arms against the walls oh you act like it's happening it's happening yeah I'm like I look at her with my eyes wide open like what are you doing like can you not So, it's just my reaction.
Starting point is 00:47:19 And then I'm like, like, what? Like, I'm like, pushing on. It's just a natural instinct. Because so many times it's like, it's like natural. And I like reach up, but then I realized so I just like scratch my head casually like, I wasn't, like, I noticed it. I wasn't doing anything. And he's like, he looks at me and I'm like, what? I was scratching my head.
Starting point is 00:47:35 That's so funny. I do the same things. And that's Jason's biggest pet peeve with me as well. It's so I understand you, Blair, because I have the same fear. And I freak out all the time. I'm just trying. to live a long life and also Jason's well he's gonna go get a vehicle any day now because he just picked it out but he so when it's in my Jeep I'm like well you're driving my car
Starting point is 00:47:56 so I'm just trying to be careful with it drive it like it's yours yeah league just got a new car so my car I'm like crash it let's get a new car but just like a nice crash where like you know yeah no just enough to total yeah where you we're all safe like like where you get out you get out of the car and just you're not even in it and a big truck just smashes into it and then the guy in the other truck is totally fine but your car isn't. Yeah my car's totaled and it's like everyone's good but gonna need a new vehicle
Starting point is 00:48:26 okay Blair what word best describes your spouse first thing in the morning? My spouse oh shit that's what your future spouse I was reading the question what describes him what? What word best describes Luke first thing in the morning first thing in the morning
Starting point is 00:48:43 one word to describe them I would say gentle. Like he always like I thought you were going to be like smelly. Gentle, that's so cute. Like because I feel like if we ever have a sleepover like he like everything first thing in the morning he always just like leans over and kisses me
Starting point is 00:49:01 whether it's like my shoulder or my cheek or my forehead or my lips and then he just like grabs me like he's just very it's just like a peaceful sweet thing. So you guys do spend the night with each other. Every now and then. Oh, that's good. You have sleepovers. Yeah, we have sleepovers.
Starting point is 00:49:17 That's totally fine. I mean, in my opinion, I'm like, yeah, get it. Okay, this. We have PG sleepovers. This could lead into a confession, but what, Luke, what is the most embarrassing thing that you have ever done around your spouse? I'm just going to go with it. Spouse, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Spouse to be. I've ever done? Yeah. Or if you can think of something embarrassing, Blair said, but I don't think you can embarrass her. No. Yeah. Blair, can you think of something he's done?
Starting point is 00:49:49 You might be able to think of something more. No. I feel like we're the same way that like we don't get embarrassed at things. Yeah. Around each other for sure. So you don't have a confession is what you're saying. Oh, I wasn't prepared for a confession. Well, hello.
Starting point is 00:50:05 You knew you were coming on this podcast. I know. I forgot. Okay. I don't know. Okay. I'll think about it. But we can circle back.
Starting point is 00:50:11 And if you can't give anything. Yeah, we'll circle back. We're not fine. I'm trying to think you. Okay. Well, then I'll ask you another one. If Blair could wear one of your clothing items, what would it be? I mean, she...
Starting point is 00:50:24 I have worn his clothing items. Okay, what is her... Okay, jeans? Yeah. So, no, let me tell you. My boyfriend, the boyfriend, Gene. Oh, yes. So we had done something that night, and it was like 11.30 p.m.
Starting point is 00:50:37 And I was like, I really just don't want to, like, drive home right now. So I ended up staying at his place. and I had worn like a white tank top with these like rainbow shorts yeah to work okay so I was like I can't wear these shorts again everybody's gonna notice like they're not just like jeans you know so I borrowed a pair of his jeans that were very like really big on myself yeah and used the um the like yeah it's like a belt but it's like a scarf belt yeah like a tie belt yeah from my shorts. It was like rainbow. I used that to tie his jeans
Starting point is 00:51:17 because it was so big. So it actually kind of looked like chicy like She made it work. Yeah, I made it work. Yeah, boyfriend jean chic. Yeah, boyfriend Jean Sheik. That's, I remember I let go. There's a show called The Bold Type and they always talk, they were like, it's not the walk of shame. It's the stride of pride. They were like, let's make it a stride of pride. And she would do that in the show like she would take, like she would like make her outfit look
Starting point is 00:51:40 completely different than the day before. I love that. I felt. I felt like I was doing that. Doing the stride of pride. The stride of pride. My first boyfriend ever. The butt was so saggy.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Always used a shoelace to tie his jeans. Really? Always. It was his thing. Like that he always just, he, because he was a skateboarder. That sounds about right. And he would just like wear his pants super low and he'd always use shoe laces as a belt. It was like his thing.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Oh, Travis. Hi. Shout out. Shout out to Travis Stanger. He was such a good one. the one that got away the one that got away I say that about every

Starting point is 00:52:25 when Luke was 13 years old what did he want to be when he grew up ooh I don't even know what I wanted to do I don't even know the answer to that yeah well he didn't play music at the time
Starting point is 00:52:38 so I don't think he wanted to be a musician Um, what did you don't even know? When did you decide you want to be a nurse? Like, right before college, right? I was in high school. Yeah. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:51 I was a junior. Yeah, when I finally figured I was a junior in high school to be a nurse. What do you want to be before you were a nurse? I knew when I was younger. I wanted to be a butler. I'm not even kidding. Okay, hilarious. You guys just learned to be new about each other.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Literally, if you ask my parents, like, they'll be like, yeah, he's like, for some reason, wanted to be a butler like i don't know that is i don't know how old i was maybe i was 13 but so a butler i didn't know that that's very cute um funny story to help people i don't know maybe that's yeah that makes sense yeah um funny cute little story about what do you want to be when you grow up yeah so luke's uh niece vivian just what did she's pre-k yeah she started started preschool and his sister said that the teacher told sarah she was like vivian had the best answer for what do you want to be when you grow up they said what do you want to be when you grow up and she said i just want to take a nap i was like yes vivian yes me too speak to me yeah wow

Okay. I want to pick a good one. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Who did I just ask last? Me, what you wanted to be? Okay. Luke, what would you say Blair's greatest strength would be? Greatest strength. For me, it's just like your compassion and love. Yeah. It's like honestly, like every, I feel loved every single second of each day.
Starting point is 00:54:36 That's so sweet. Yeah, like just being able to know like I'm. She's always there and will always love me and be there for me. Like waking up each morning makes it a lot better. Yeah. Oh my God. That like inspires me. I like wake up and I'm like probably such a bitch. I feel like I wake up and I think about like negative things. And then I get more positive as the day goes on.
