Hey guys, welcome back to another episode. We have the lovely Georgia Haboo with us again today. We're talking all things wedding dresses and raising Chelsea. And then obviously the usual dilemmas. Enjoy guys. Love you. Hello, ladies and gentlemen. George's back on the pod today. Hi. And it's our first time seeing each other since I got engaged. I know. I've already seen the ring, obviously. screamed, excited. I don't want to think about it again now until next year or until closer to the day. Have you booked?

Yeah. The big things. Yeah. Then don't. When I was first doing it and researching stuff, it was all that was on my mind. It's actually really weird. And then I was like, I thought this is all I'm contributing to conversation. But then I have to stop myself from talking.

Because all I'm going to talk about is the fact that I've bit my band or I've booked my photographer. One question really quickly ago. Have you started looking for dresses? Emma Bowman's doing it. She reached out to me. She's like, I really, really would love to do it for you. I was like, oh my God. Do you know sort of what you want?

Kind of. I had tried on then. I then booked some appointments a few places. to like think about white light, sent her loads of pictures and I went up there and she like had this like a twill to my measurements. I'm like, she's amazing, isn't she? Unbelievable. Like got my vision, but badder. It was like insane.

And then had all these different fabrics. And then like she's like, now go have lunch and come back. And then we came back after lunch. And then she'd made this extra thing. And I was like, whoa. Oh my God. Are you going to do one or two dresses? Two.

I'll definitely. I think it's like I'll be done with. like the worrying about the white dress after a certain time. So you only get hopefully married once. So like you may as well. I had three. Yeah. Yeah.

I might do that as well. I don't know. Let's just see. It seems a way so not to wear the big one or like the main one like the whole time. I want my main one up till my first dance. I'd only come to have two and then literally could day before I flew. The brand. Yeah, sent me that short one.

It was the glitteriest thing. I'll never forget the lights just on you and it was just like shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy. It was so amazing. It's so amazing. Glitter on there. Oh, really. Did it go off? Everyone was messaging me weeks off.

Like, I cannot get the shit out of my suit jacket. It's like a little fairy. It was so nice. It really caught the light. And the slinky one before was like white beads, no? Yeah, but it was so freaking hot. Was it heavy? Yeah, because it was fully beaded.

That's why, thank God I had that third one. Because I put, I was planning on properly dancing in the long one and I was like, I actually can't move. I'm dripping. I see those nice TikToks of people being spun around in the big dresses. I'm like, that looks amazing. I feel, I can't, I don't know what you're going to go for. Oh, you're on me. I feel like it's, it's not necessarily unexpected.

I mean, at the end of the day, there's only so many sort of stars of dresses. I think there's like probably five categories in them like. Yeah, but people surprise you, don't they? Some people are like, oh, she definitely wears slinky and then she wears like a massive one. And then you're like, oh, but it. True. I don't know if, you know what I also want to bring back, right? UK weddings.

Let's bring back some UK weddings. Oh my God. Do you know what even better? London wedding. No, right, yeah. If you live in London. Let's hop on the cheek to the wedding.

Where you live, where you can go home that night. Absolutely heaven. But then also really annoying for the like, how nice was your whole weekend, Shindig? Like, that it was a full, people are there to like celebrate over the full weekend and like really just settle in.

Yeah, it is true. And the buildup of the night before, like it's really fun. It is. really fun but as a guest probably actually in hindsight quite annoying. No, I think it's fun. The only annoying thing is when you've got like hens and weddings back to back that are all abroad and you feel like you're living out of a suitcase but you're like, fuck I don't want

to wear for the next thing. And then all your holidays are just hands and weddings. Also your new house is like so fun like all that renovation. Talk me through what you're doing now. Isn't House 9 doing your living room? Yes. How far along are it with all that? We are pretty much done.

Barry just sent me a picture of the, we've got getting a marble fireplace made and that he's just sent me that's finished, so it's going to get shipped and arrive on Wednesday. Heaven. And then that's just getting that in store, it's like the last like building work. And we're getting curtains made and then just waiting for furniture. But some of it's right. Funesthetic stuff. That's actually so unstressful.

Yes. And also house-line have done it all. Like it's really easy because they've just done links. So yesterday I spent like an hour just buying all like the they've done. Wait, so you just send you links and watch a buy. Yeah. So we did like a virtual consultation. I didn't know you could do this to interior designs.

They just like you send pictures of very. videos of your house and then they put together a fee and then they send you the links and that's it like this paint colour here this is the layout you need to do this is the furniture and they've even done like so for our shells in like either like yeah so I just

yesterday was buying all the books the plant pots a candle that is such a good hack so fun oh my god because that's really hard do like shelf styling styling shelves I've actually had to embarrassingly let go on YouTube and be like how to style a shelf and there's this woman called

Studio McGu, you've seen her? She has really nice series on Netflix. She's literally like House 9, but in America, like the taste is virtually the same. They've not told me exactly how to style it. They've told me what to buy, and they've done like an inspo pick of styling. So I will have to do it kind of myself.

You would think that they would virtually, with AI, put those exact items on the shelves. You would think, actually. You would think. I would ask, is it possible? You know exactly where to put that candle? Because otherwise it might look really. shit. And you'll be like, oh, also, shelf styling adds up. It's like, I wanted to get some handles.

People keep commenting on my TikTok and my Instagram. I'm like, why is there any handles on your wardrobe? I can't afford it. I've Googled someone. It's like 15 quid for one fucking handle that I like. I got something on Amazon. I mean 10. And I'm like, that's too expensive to spend on handles. Fuck it, I'll just carry on lift, opening it in the top. This is one of those things that you put off ever and ever and ever. know what we should be doing, which is actually what I'm doing now because, well, yeah, going to antique fairs and shit. But I'm like, it's finding the time to go to an antique fair and then you have to haggle people, take cash. It's quite your deal. I actually genuinely thought this because one of their things that they put on to buy

was like an oil painting and like a gold. Yeah. It's obviously really, it looks really old. Like, you'd get it from a charity shop and it was 400 pounds. I was like, I'm sorry, I'm not, I'm going to go to a charity shop to find that. Like, I'm not spending that. So I actually bought that. So I will be having to. Like Facebook marketplace. Yeah, I feel like those sort of places I'll find that. Because that is going to be someone's rubbish. I feel like that's something.

Someone's going to be like, oh my grandma's old painting. So I don't need to spend 400 pounds on it. I'm going to buy it for like 10 pounds. So true. Go to charity shops. Oh, you know what? It's brilliant though, first dibs. Phenomenal.

One piece of art that we've got I brought from there. And I scrolled for weeks and weeks and weeks. I just like set it aside. I was like, I really really wanted art, but I didn't want to rush anything. And I wanted it to feel I wanted it to be something that was like really cool, not expensive as such but something that was going to be like a piece.

And it's all these like auctioning places that put it online or like second ham places that put it online and there's really cheap and also they have like Picasso's on there. It's like everything. You will find loads. Well that's where I'll go looking for them. I'm really, you're going to get stuck in a whole day because it's so fun.

There's also those good places I guess on like Instagram. I feel like the Instagram is mad at the moment for like the Chanel new collection. My whole feed is people. doing unboxing of this new Chanel collection. I've watched one and I'm getting targeted. Yeah. You know what also the algorithm that has not stuck is the rider algorithm has not stuck on my

Instagram? Really? That's so many. No matter how much I've tried. Maybe it hears me get a favourite and it like goes, oh, I'm not going to show that. It's that advanced. I'm going to get first dibs ads, aren't I? Oh my God, you are.

That I'm excited for you. I do actually think that the ads that come off my Instagram are always so relevant. I'm like, I'm going to shop that. It is really quite useful. It is useful. Like if you're looking for something particular and then it comes up in an ad, you're like, kind of glad you were listening. It's so good. And I'm like, that, I'm going to buy it. Yeah. That's exactly what I was looking for. How did you know? I love an ad. Yeah, me too. I also saw myself pop up on an ad on YouTube yesterday, which really alarmed me from the free people thing. I was like, oh my God. Oh my God. That was so cool.

I know, but I didn't really realize where it was going. I feel like you kept that quiet. I didn't really know how big it was going to be. I wasn't that. I don't know. Anyway, I was on YouTube and I was like, oh, that's fun. And I tried to like, you can't stop a YouTube out. I tried to show Toby and then it ran out. Oh, that is so annoying. There is something so attractive about, like, my husband's not like this. My friends have definitely husbands like this where they, like their husbands just do everything. Like one of my friend's husbands built their kitchen. Like, he did their kitchen. He also was a finance, bro, who built her kitchen renovation.

She doesn't count her lucky stars. I know. We tell her every day. Yeah, honestly. That's phenomenal. Gets up, goes to work at 5am because he's a trader, gets home after picks the kids up from nursery, builds a bloody kitchen. Built her pantry.

What's she doing? She's a nurse. Oh my God bless her. Wow, what couple? I know. Christ, well, I don't have a dream. I don't have that. No.

I actually had to tell Dobie what to do the other day. We had like some hooks. So you have like, it's like a wooden panel that like hooks onto the wall and then you have like the hooks coming off it, right? Yeah. John Lewis number I got it a few years ago. Had it in one of the cupboards. and we were like, actually it should move to this cupboard.

To he was like, oh yeah, we should get a mad one to do that. I was like, no, no, no, no. Take that off the wall. You see those hooks in there? I did that. I hung that. So he was like, oh, okay. So I put it in this cupboard and I was like, yeah, figure it out. So where do I get the screws from?

I'm like, take those screws out of the wall first and then reuse them. He's like, but I don't have a drill. You don't need a drill. I was telling me exactly how to do it. And I was like, this is really unappractive. I can call off the engagement. Mary gets some task rabbit to like hang up a bit of paint. That's different. How you have a painting is really hard if it's big.

Fair. Berry gets tasked with everything. We literally have been arguing about because we're obviously doing this renovation. There's so many things. The bills come through and I'm like, I can do that. Can you do you do that? Yeah, exactly. I'm like, tape ballot for the afternoon.

I'll paint it because I think it's hard than you think. Like when you watch Parsons Green painters who are sensational. I've watched them a lot and I think I've picked up some tears. So I keep saying to where I'm like, I'm going to tackle that nature. A bit of sanding. I do it is quite, I do think it's quite specialist when they. get the small paint brushes out and they go around all the like, I don't know. All right. Well, when you've done a room, let me know.

I actually did a door because, again, Barry was trying to get them to come in one day to this door and I was like, I'm just going to do it. Tell him they came. And I did. And then he came home and went, oh, they came and did the door. And he went, oh, that's really good. And I did it. And I was like, see it told I could do it. Have you watched Racing Chelsea yet? I've seen the first episode. Only the first episode. Yeah. But I'm also like, I know what you do every day. No, it's really good. But maybe I should.

It's really, really good, yeah. It's really, like, wholesome. Is it? Yeah, like, I'm really funny. They're number one at Disney. I know. I keep seeing every day, I'm like, my God. I know.

That is wild. It is wild. What was it like for you being on your first bit of reality TV? I'm so awful. I come across so thick. Yeah, I do. I'm like, yeah. Also, as well, horrible watching yourself from TV.

Oh my God. I was like, I need every single face. I know this is like her. racial reconstruction and a fucking haircut. Oh my God, I need a hair girl. Oh no, your hair looks phenomenal. No, I need a haircut, desperately. I thought you've had one since.

I've had one in the last year. Would you ever go like being short, no? No, because it's really thick as well. My hair's sick goes out when it's... It's phenomenal. It needs like the weight to put it down about. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. But yeah, I just look quite stupid.

No stuff. Can I talk about real health lives of them? No, I don't mean house lives ladies of London. I've spoken about it before. I just love it. Who do you like? I love Martha. No, not Martha.

Martha's best friend. The one with the... Curly short her. Yeah. The one with the bird. Really poor. She is amazing. I love her.

Give that woman some sort of an award just for existing. She's... I've never known anyone. Like, what a character. I love her as well. And yeah, and her house when she did like her house store. I love it. She's called me a grotted.

I just love everything about her. Like, she's just so amazing. She's great. Who seems to be the one that's her? like getting away with everything at the moment. Oh my God, the sweet etiquette girl's really cute. Oh my gosh, she's so cute. I love her.

Also, Missy's tit falling out every five minutes. It actually really mad at it. Like literally every minute her boobs out. And Mark Farns is like, oh, it didn't sound like it. It's so funny. You know what? It's really dramatic, but really light. But that's what happens.

And then they all get darker and darker. I feel like when these shows, they start really light. And like it's like fights, but catfights. But then as these seasons go on, they need more content and they're like more desperate to get like good storylines. Yeah, and then they dig and they dig and then suddenly you're like, okay, you're having an affair with your best friend's husband's wife. I also watched a film that I thought was so boring about a hawk.

So this woman buys a hawk. She keeps it as a pet and it's so dull. It's like she's grieving her dad, bless her. And I thought, oh, she's got this hawk because her dad had a hawk. No. There's no. No sort of relevance. And it's just her like taking this talk to the woods. Well, I'm done for sticking it out.

I was at Toby's parents' house and I was like, honestly, I kept going, like this, how would be like, can we fucking change it? I was so bored. Oh, God. Not exaggeration. I can imagine it was really good as a book. It was a book. That's the sort of book I'm not going to read.

We had a book club with my friends for a while and we just have such different taste. Like a lot, two of my friends that I did English late degrees. Oh, yeah. And every time she'd recommend, they thought the same about my books. I'd be like, that's thriller. It's great. Do you want to read it? They'd be like, oh my God, so lowbrow.

And then they'd send me a book about a war photographer and a story of her life. And I'd be like, oh, my God, this is so hard. I can't. It's also, no, I would not survive in that book club for more than a day. We should start a book club. I feel like we would like the same sort of books. I think so do. I might read it literally a third of the pace of you, though.

Or maybe even sort of a word. People always say that, but it's not the same thing. It's not. I actually, there's nothing, when I'm on holiday, obviously I can't do a cinema or so have a child, but I used to, there's, I would nothing I love more than just like reading a book a day on holiday.

Now I read like a book a year. I went through a stage of reading loads of books, like loads of the page tune books. I loved and they were like really easy, like simple storylines, just bit romantic, always about the yarn. Do you know what I mean?

Like it was like, that was like basically the whole book and then they'd have sex right the last four pages or something. I was like, great, that's what I'm asking for. And now I'm ready for something a bit more serious. I like a crime.

thriller. No, we shouldn't do book club together now. I also'm not, how do you feel out of these fairy porn books? Not. I think they sound really weird. But so many people love them on TikTok. But also, I guess that's like, that's like, Twilight was like vampire porn.

True. But apparently it's not actually like, yeah, apparently it is more vampire diaries vibe. My friend said it's actually good. Maybe we would like it. I know, but they're always like really thick and they look a bit like fairy and like elfin. And I'm like, that would be a bit cringe getting that out on the

My husband would like those. I'm sure that excellent. Fucking loves Lord of the Rings. Shane. You want that's different? That's a classic. Yeah, and it's not porn. Oh, okay.

Be like the mystical life. He's going to hit if you see you. I love those. Love fairy porn. Oh my God. But I think it is a bit, when I see people on the tube reading books, I always then Google them to see what they're likes.

I'm just like, what are you doing that? I don't know. It just gives you a bit of an insight into what they're like thinking like doing. Maybe like you get the fairie. very porn book and then get a really, like a Dickens covered. Yeah. No, that's quite a good idea. I'm sure people do that all the time actually.

I bet they do. Do you remember when everyone was like reading for 50 Shades of Grey when it came out? Yeah. On like planes and stuff and you'd be like, oh. I don't know what part of you. I know. Once I was reading this book, it's called Little Life Saddest, the best book you've ever read. And I was reading on the tube and I'm sobbing because it's, honestly, if you read it, you can't not cry.

I'm sobbing these two girls watching me and they were like, I'm thinking you know what part you're right. Can we ask? And I was like, I told them and they were like, we knew you were at that part. Oh my God, that's quite fun. I know. That's girlhood. Yeah, it really is.

I love that sort of shit. Yeah, it was really cute. Right, dilemma one. Hi, girls, I have a dilemma with the boy. I like slash I'm dating. For background, we've been friends for over two years after meeting at work. And we got really close over the last year when we were in the same team. He had a girlfriend at the time, but they broke up over a month ago as long distance wasn't working.

We started dating about a month after his breakup. By this time, he had moved teams at work. Nothing massively changed as we were already close, but things felt a lot more romantic and intense. It was all going so well until we got news that he was rejoining our old team at work, meaning that we will be working directly together. I was already taking things slow with him to ensure I wasn't the rebound girl. We've not slept together yet or anything.

Only kissed at this point, but I feel like him rejoining my team will inevitably be put a spanner in the works. How would you handle this situation? Lots of love. I feel like you can still keep at the same pace. Just like keep work, work, chat. Like, don't flirt on teams. Just keep like work chat.

Or meetings. Like in real life, that would be really bad. Yeah, like keep work chat, work chat. And then I don't know what she does. It's really hard to know. I'm trying to think about it like with my job. And I don't feel like that would be an issue. Quite annoying. Early dating. Someone's there with you all day every day. Like you want to have a bit of separation in an ideal world. Yeah, I wondered like if they have to like sit in the same like

It's quite annoying you know you like want to miss someone And on that anticipation to like see them at the end of the day That's all been Yeah but if they were still in the same company I'm sure she would have seen him still True I don't think obviously this isn't a deal breaker It's just changed the plan slightly but you know what

The universe works the Lord works for mysterious ways Yeah maybe it'll bring you closer Yeah Two of my best friends are married and they were in the same team work Really? Yeah Still work together. Oh my God, that's so nice. You don't really hear people meeting through work that much anymore.

God, and they're still working the same team. I know. I would have been mad of us. I tell you who would be the worst manager, actually, would be my husband. He's such a micromanagement. Oh, my God. Oh, really? Yeah, everything about house.

Just checking, have you done this yet? Just checking you've done this yet. Do it yourself. You know what? I can only imagine that that's how I am with Toby sometimes. And I have to hold my tongue. And I'm like, no, I can't, nah, can't. To the point where then he forgets.

So why didn't you tell me in because I didn't want to naggy? Oh no, he's got used to the nagging. Yeah, it's like they rely on it. I actually sometimes find myself doing that I don't bother putting a note in my phone because I know he'll remind me to do in two days. That's not good. I know. You shouldn't nag so much and I would have some autonomy.

It's his own fault. It's its own fault. She's not independent with them. Anyway, we've very digressed. I think that this isn't an issue. I think just embrace it. It's great. You get to spend a little bit more time together. Yeah, look at it as a positive.

I would just try, like when you're talking about work, don't try and kind of keep conversation separate. It's the only advice I can give maybe. It seems like you've been really good at taking it slow though. True. But yeah, maybe this is just how... They started dating a month after his breakup. That is quite fresh.

There's no... You can't do anything. But you've been friends for ages. I feel like there's obviously been burning chemistry there, like over the years, you've been mates. I think this is exciting. Me too. I think look at it as a positive.

Yeah. Get to spend more time together. Get more comfortable with each other. And yeah, you might just ram things up in a good way. Good luck. Right, next to 11 then. All right. Hi, long time, tiny here.

I have a best friend and we're incredibly close. We were incredibly close from the age of four years old till now. Wow. We're both 28. We live in our same hometown. We went to different universities but constantly visit each other and FaceTiming. Then three years ago, I started seeing my now partner. Things changed almost immediately.

She would get annoyed if I didn't reply within an hour. Oh, God. But then ignore me for days. I knew her well enough to know. it felt deliberate and it became a pattern. She even made comments about my relationship like suggesting he might be texting other girls but never had anything to back it up when I asked.

This has been going on for years even when I was pregnant last year. Things escalated two weeks ago when I cancelled plans because my boyfriend was taken to hospital with a severe allergic reaction. She accused me of lying saying I only wanted to spend time with him and didn't show any concern. After that I stopped putting an effort

and let the friendship fade completely fair. Now she ignores me completely. even in public and I've heard she speaks about me behind my back. Am I an asshole for letting my friendship go instead of addressing it more directly? Should I try to repair for things now? What should I leave it in the past? I think good riddance. Me too.

It's just annoying when you, it feels like drama that this feels making though. Like ignoring you on purpose. Just be civil. Yeah. I mean, like don't fucking bitch about me all the time. I definitely don't think you're an asshole though. I think you actually were, did nothing wrong. I think you did it, like, just let it fade away after she was being quite nasty to.

Like, trying to, like, make you question a relationship when you're pregnant without any evidence. It's, like, a really horrible thing to do. That's really not a nice thing to do. So the fact that you have just like... She's done this breakup for you, which is great. Like, she does not need to be in your life. I'm just fucking annoying that she's still, like, hanging about, though. Yeah, and talking badly about you.

You want to cut someone out and then never see them again. You don't want to hear that they're talking. talking about you and they're there and then it just makes for animal like it's just anxiety-inducing social environment sometimes which you need to get you need to grow a layer of skin which is that you don't care yeah and show that even if you don't feel it and then eventually do feel it like really just tell yourself that this chick is so irrelevant yeah I would say there's no need to like open that back up just to say to address her or anything um and definitely I wouldn't try and repair things

if I were you unless you really missed on your life and also I would think as well when she does speak badly about you

to other people and I'm sure it just reflects badly on her and not on you people will know that you've not done anything wrong

and make sure that you never say anything like about her yeah good or bad like she's like I literally don't

talk about her and then if someone tries to tell you what she's saying be like I just don't care like let her carry on

yeah just try yeah because you've not done anything and you would hope that your friends that are

being told that she's bitching to go all right now. Exactly. Like hopefully they will they will know what you're like,

who you are, but you've not done anything. So it'll just, it's more embarrassing for her if she keeps talking about you really. 100%. It's awkward when you still see, you're like when you share a friendship group

and you have to see them all the time. That is really hard. I get that that's shit. But they, um, they say with like friendships that some people, and what do they call it? It's like,

they say that it's like a train and like some people get on the train. And then it's, get off the train. Hmm. And you are the train. I don't know what the saying is. It's like a really nice saying. And then they might get on the train 10 years later down the line and you sort of

rekindle a friendship, which is fine. Like there's nothing wrong with that. It's like people, sometimes people can get funny. And sometimes people don't make you feel good. Like what's good for your nervous system? Like you don't want someone like gaslighting you or... You need to protect your own peace. Accusing you of staff.

Like asking for like proof. This whole thing. That's strange. Yeah. Like that's giving you. you so much stress that you don't need. So yeah, advice to friendship breakups. I just think ride the waves and be okay if someone's drifting away from you.

Obviously if you love them, it's important to fight for things, right? And like have conversations. I don't think you can just go, well, that's not for me. Like let them drift away because like then you can lose out on like wonderful friendships. You do need to have some conversations probably at some stages. But I think if some people are really like showing you, it's like being in a relationship. If someone's really showing you that they don't want to be there, then don't make them. You know, like, you've got to let that go.

You might just be different people in different places. Yeah. Or there might be something going on with them that you trigger for some reason. But just move on, know you'll make more friends. It's so how horrible that you might just bring out the absolute worst and so I'm going to trigger them. I know. I know people do though.

I know. Like, I know one of my friends, her husband thinks that one of her friends like brings out like her boozy side. So he like hates it when they hang out. Like people do. But yeah, I get that. Like friends influence people. And sometimes I guess not in the best way.

Those people are normally really fun though, especially when you're younger. And then when you get older, you're like, okay, maybe this isn't actually very good for my mental. I'm actually, Barry just had to have like a breakup, not a breakup. Barry just had a breakup with his best friend, but over just them hanging out alone together because they cannot not go on a big night out. And they're like, we're too old, we're dads, we can't do it. So they've literally had to be like, we can go for coffees. We can go to the gym. But if we're going to dinner, the wives have to come.

Because like, they know we'll rain them in. Sorry. That is just like so silly, like the lack of control. They cannot do it. Like they're like, we bring out the worst in each other in that sense. Just these two particular boys and they were like, we have to bring the voice. They've recognised it. I know.

Finally. I mean, bloody how they're 35. They've drawn a line on my head. I don't know in the sound with that. Okay, ready dilemma three. Hey, this is a very short and sweet dilemma, but I need some advice. My boyfriend and I have been through a lot over the past year. We broke up last year in May after three years together.

We both needed a few months to focus on ourselves, as we both needed a few months to focus on ourselves, as we both had become quite dependent on each other and had lost ourselves in the relationship. In August, we got back together and we're better than ever. So my question is, do we celebrate our anniversary on the initial day we got together, which is May 2020? Or when we got back together, which is August 2025. And I'm Melissa and Toby got back together after some time apart.

So I'm hoping you guys have some advice. I know you guys love a pick. So here is one. Love an non. Oh, my God, sweet bees, look. Just to give you... He's giving... He's giving...

Oasis. Yes. Literally all I was thinking. That's so funny. I would celebrate both. Why not? Just literally go out for two meals. It's great.

That's spread out. Just two date nights. You know what's the issue with that. I would probably also just celebrate the first one. Yeah. If I had to pick one, I'd do the first one. Yeah. But just do both.

So otherwise you're saying, you'd have to be like, oh, we only been going out for like a year. That's ridiculous. It's like five years, really. It's like in sex in the city, they say that Carrie's been dating big for 10 years or something when they've been on and off,

on and off, because they never really fell out of love with one another. They just, I guess, kept it as like a rolling relationship, even if she fairly like, was engaged in between that. They just seem to forget about that.

But I think, yeah, just go from the day that you met or the day that you... Let's go for May 2022. That has a nice ring to it. And once you get married, do people, you just reset your date then, don't you?

That's also, my friend of mine, he's like so extra with that. celebrations for anniversaries. They celebrate the day they got engaged. They celebrate the day that they made it official. I think they celebrate the day they met, like the day they started dating. I would not have a clue when we start dating or when we made it official. Oh, we miss it every year. Terrible. When is your anniversary? We do it from November 17th or something. And does that count the first time you got, you were official? First date. First date. My, my mom. You are 12. I have no clue. I don't know. I have no idea. I have no idea. I have no idea. I have no idea.

when we, my wedding anniversary. Yeah. But I wouldn't remember any of the other anniversaries. That's the only one that's important. Also, quite annoying for you also that you didn't get married, like, straight away because you could have got like 15 years under your belt. You would have been on a diamond or a platinum anniversary at the stage. I know.

Yeah, we'd be together 14 years. Okay. Thank you so much for joining you. Thanks for having me. Love you guys. See you next time. Bye. That's it for this week, Wednesdays.
