Life Uncut acknowledges the traditional custodians of country whose lands were never seated. We pay our respects to their elders past and present. This episode was recorded on cameragle Land. Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Laura. I'm engaged, but I'm also Brittany. Have you lost your goddamn mind over the weekend? I am on high. Yeah, I'm on high and I haven't yet come back down to ground.

It's been a big week for everyone. I'd like to point it out. So Britt, as you guys all know, and as you are here for, brit got engaged.

But it's not all about me because Laura got nit. I got nits on the weekend and I can't wait to tell you all about it.

And producer Kisha won a very important award because she is the best producer in the whole world.

She won a big media award like at our Australian Media Week, so we're very very proud. On top of that, you looked absolutely bang in.

Yeah.

When you said that photo, I was like, fuck, you're hot. Oh thanks guys, And then I was like, oh, you were well the nicest thing I think not only was the award for life on cut in total, but also Mitch, your radio host, was hosting the night. So I kind of walked into the night thinking that I was going to be sitting like with a table with randoms.

Ended up knowing quite a few people.

From my radio days that were sitting at the table, and then Mitch was hosting, and it actually felt like such a nice.

Personal, little little evening, which is why she got so lit city she couldn't leave a house the next day.

Yeah, I got too excited. I was like a bit nervous at first, and then I got too excited.

We are very proud of you because you are a direct reflection of us, so we were worrying for a while, but you no, I thank you so much, guys.

I actually felt so special and I had such a brilliant night. And it's it's really cool because at the awards night, the particular one that I was up for on Screen Producer, and a lot of the organizations that were in every single category.

They were the really big networks.

It was like Paramount nine, there was ones for ARN, there was ones for SCA, like all of these massive companies, and then there was.

Just little life on cut, you know, like just a little fish yo.

And it actually felt so nice for I don't want to say the underdog, but in terms of numbers and in terms of size of a business, it's really full that we are in there, like, you know, yeah, fighting it out with the big dog, especially when there's four of us here.

That's what I mean, you know. So yeah, and I had a brilliant time, So thank you so much.

Well, I know you guys have come here to hear all about my knit story, so I'm really thrilled to tell you as well. I actually just realized that I like subconsciously scratched my head because anytime I hear that word, my scalp just gets itchy.

It throws you back into turmoil.

So a few weeks ago, when we did the radio show with Midge, I was like gloating because my children are so bored that they don't catch knits right like everyone else has had it, all the cousins have had it.

But my kids have such wispy, fine hair and that knits can't hang on the blown off.

But I mean that's not a quality that most people. Thin hair is not something that people find desirable. But like my children, they gained that hereditary gene from me. They have thin, wispy hair, never to have had knits. Anyway, We're at the cafe on the weekend and I looked down at Marley and I was like, just like playing with her head, giving her a little head massage. And I looked down and I was like, oh, god, friend, you've got dan driff. And then my girl, she's five I always call a girlfriend. And then I and then I, and then I had a look a bit closer and I was like, holy shit she had. I could see them. She had like full on knits crawling through hair. And she was like, yeah, mom, my head's been so itchy. So we went home and everyone has had knit treatments and then I woke up and I felt itchy. So like the whole family Friday, Saturday, Sunday, all we've done is knit treat each other. We're like monkeys in a zoo that pick bugs off each other and eat them.

But you all have to commit, right we have. You can't half commit. You can't have commitment issues with a knit situation because they just be like, hey, sucker, I'll come back tomorrow. They even jump off sometimes and chill for a minute, like on a loungel. Well, you have done nothing.

You were like knit treatment, no sleep brush, more oil comb like T Tree and they still use T Trees. Yeah, well, I guess it was like a T Tree oil theme. I've done two treatments on the girls. I've done two treatments on myself. I've done two treatments on Nana. And Matt was he was like, I'm not having it. My hair is so dirty, I'm not going to get nits. And then last night I was in there combing his hair. What did I find? A little nitty nit nit?

I feel now like you've given it to me. Probably probably have given it all of you. You probably should do some nit treatments. Guys, I don't know if my hair is healthy enough anymore. I think it's been bleached beyond oblivion because they only pick healthy hair.

Do they.

It's very humbling. Let me let me tell you. I feel like I've entered a new phase of parenting. And I can't wait for the Daily Mail article to talk about your engagement and Laura Burn getting new.

Laura, What a week for life. We've all had some wins in life.

But no, Look, we know the reason that you're all here today, and it's the reason that you know. It's the thing we've been holding on to for hope for the last five and a half years.

It finally happened. We've been praying to the gods every day, please someone take Brittany off our hands.

No, but last week's episode on Thursday, you guys all heard it. You saw the videos. It was the biggest surprise for us. And every time I watched that video, I cry. It's been viewed millions of times. I think a million of those views is me, and I think I've cried a million times as well.

Ben and I said the same thing. Ben and I have not stopped watching. And at the start it was in all honesty. Ben is new to this media world, right, so like he doesn't really do Instagram and online and he doesn't get it. Plays football and that's it. And when I said, oh, I'm going to surprise the girls and tell them on camera, he couldn't understand it. He was like, but why, like why not just tell them? And I said, oh, because I just feel like I want a thing as content contact. And I had this convo with some lifers actually who were like, thank you for like including us, And that's what I wanted to do because your life has been on the journey with us, all of us for so oh damn long, like literally five years of the highs and the lows and you know it all. And I wanted to make it like an intimate moment but also bring everyone in and feel included. And Ben was like, okay, like whatever you want to do. But I don't get it. Anyway. He watched the video about crying and he's like I get it. He's like it's so good. It's like it's so beautiful. I love it, and he can't stop watching it. Then I'll hear him. He's like, I'm just going to the bathroom. I'll hear him in the bathroom and I can hear the video playing on the bathroom. I reckon Ben has contributed to a million of those, it's like two and a half million views or something. I think he's watched them all.

I mean, this is kind of the thing that like life on Cut was built on, right, Like we've spoken about this throughout the years. On one hand, it was talking about relationships and talking about love, but I think the real thing that's like set us apart is talking about female friendship. Like that's been such a huge part of what makes this podcast joyful, the fact that we are real friends and get to share in these life milestones, and like watching that video back, we're just so lucky. We're so lucky we get to work together, we're so like we genuinely love each other, and that we've been able to create the community off the back of that. And in terms of an announcement, it's your special day. But you made us feel so special by doing that, so as Ben, but he actually proposed to all of it.

Ben, You're all about Beyonce. Now we're all engaged. One of my favorite things to watch back in it. If you are someone that hasn't watched that video yet, please go and watch it. But my favorite thing to go back, and I just keep freeze framing on the real is just watching both of your faces. Keisha, the genuine shock and then like putting her hands over her mouth and her eyes couldn't get whider. And then appears to Laura and I've never seen someone's mouth so wide. All I could think was lucky, Matt, if that watched your mouth, I was just like, woe man, you look like Luna Park like that you know so much judgment in it as well, like like not in a bad way. But the moment when I started crying and Laura still hadn't clocked and she thought it was a listener crying like an ask on cut, and then the realization, I love the entire thing. I can't start watching.

I know that sometimes you guys probably think that we know everything beforehand, but we haven't asked Britt any details around the engagement because we wanted it to be like a revelation to us at the same time. So when all that happened last week when we recorded on Wednesday, we then stopped down. We were like, this is not getting tacked onto the back of an askun cut. We're gonna have a whole entire episode dedicated to the engagement of Britney Secrest. But in order to do that, we had to wait until today, so we are asking all these questions for the first time. We also put out a call out to you guys on Instagram, so we've got all your questions as well to ask Britt. But before we do do that, we have a little surprise for you, Britt, because as you mentioned, it has been such a journey. You've also brought everyone along for it, you know, as we always do for these big milestones in our lives that we share on the pod. And this is just a little walk down memory lane.

You've heard it, and I'm crying. What's wrong with me? What is wrong? There's this deep seated issue stealing society and oh, if you're on your thirties and forties and year single, there's something wrong with you. Or ninety nine percent of the time, I'm proud to be single. I'm happy. Yes, I'm looking for a relationship, but I'm still happy in myself. But in those moments, for a second, even I felt it. I was like, I don't want everyone in this audience looking at me being like, oh, like, well it's her.

I'm still no crushing, I'm already No, I'm crushing hard. No, I am going to tell you that this is a disaster waiting to happen personally.

You know, I have an attraction to people that aren't here. Yeah, because I'm commitment foe.

Oh so that he's physically not here. Turn on that you only knew him for two days and now you're in love with him.

I'm not in love with him, I'm in lust with him. It was three days and we've been speaking for a long time now. Of course, Brittany, he never learns. I want to know, how's the guy.

I don't know.

I feel like it's not overly serious, but maybe.

And then you're like, like, I can't say that because and what if you hears this and then he thinks it's serious, and then you've just said.

It's serious, and oh dear god, it's a fucking mind field. And then this one face popped up and it was Ben. I was like, wow, that guy's good looking. Checking on the bio his foreign tick athlete wasn't a tick benefit, but I thought that would be really good if I was gonna have a fling, right, someone like fit and helping it really go the long hole. And I was trying to say, like, let's have a little no strings attached fling. And by the fourth day he was like, I really like you, and I said I really like you too. Well, why does that matter if I don't live here. If we are the people that we would want to date, let's keep talking. At one part of me was like, amazing, this makes me feel good. The other part was like, how am I going to tell Laura. I don't know how you would explain it. I don't know what the label is right now. It's serious without being serious. I think it's going that way, but it's not there yet. What are you doing for Christmas, britt Well? I booked flights last night, Laura. Shit, I am going to lay it all on the line here. You're either going to get like happy in lust love Brittany, or you're going to get heartbroken Brittany. So we don't nobody can handle heartbroken Brittany again. No one wants. I don't want that for you. I don't want you to be heartbroken again. That's a horrible thing to have to go through. Yeah, we're probably three months deep now to the relationship face. I'm fully flushing.

I am so happy, Like, I'm so happy that you're happy. All I want is for you to be in a relationship where you feel emotionally secure, where you feel secure not just in distance in our supported you are in the level of priority that you take in their life. Like all of those things are things that I want for you, and I know you want them for yourself.

Yo, girl, head over heels in love. I cannot fault him right now in one part of his entire life, who he is, anything about him, He's just the most divine human. I'm so happy that you are happy. You are absolutely emanating excitement and love. Flash forward to him now and I've never been happier. And last week on a beautiful island, he asked me to be his Why. I want to know, what's a cute way to tell my friends that I'm getting married? What I will say is like it was the most incredible.

Every guys, why didn't you grap me with waterproof sky?

I feel like I've where we got black eyes? That was like, yeah, white, what right?

What?

Everyone insion? This is why producer Kisha were on the award.

I was just putting that together, like going back through so many of the episodes and just finding these little snippets of you.

I was an absolute mess, but it.

Just reminded me of how much you wanted this, like really true and beautiful love. And it's like, it's so beautiful to see this come from you know, because we've been there. We've been there through your breakups, We've been there through the times where you were dating and just like not loving life.

Yeah, the guy that wanted me to sit on his face beat Rappie when I got sold at me, where's he now.

To kind of you know, just listen to all of those moments, so back to back and you know know where it got to and know that and now at this point where you're just like so overwhelmingly happy, and you know how happy Lauri.

Is for you, considering that it was initially you know, we thought it was a disaster.

Wait, I do like to say that I'll eat my own shit, and in this instance, I will eat my own shit.

But she was like, this is a disaster waiting happened. I'm going to have to pick up the pieces again.

So now you're just got to pick up my arm off the ground, you know, because it's so it's so sore from how big my diamond is. Man, No, okay, before we start being silly about that. It was always really hard because like after we had that conversation when you very first met Ben and you came back from overseas, You're like, I'm in love, and I was like, this is a terrible fucking disaster, Like not you had great sex for a mom Yes, you're in a sex hole.

You've got sex blindness, this is an orgasm blindness for it.

I came back on crutcheous. I was like, that's oh God, you just heaven hid in Navana. It's not real. Come back down to earth.

No, what happened after that, because I mean, when you have just seen your friend go through a bad heartbreak. I think we spoke about parts of it on the podcast, but probably never to the extent right, like, you were so unhappy for such a period of time, And in my mind when we had that episode, I know so many people messaged me and they were like, fuck, Laura, can't you just be happy for her? And I was like, no, I can't be right now. And it's not because I'm not happy for her. It's because I'm so worried that we're going to be back where we were a year ago.

And that's not for me, that's for you.

You know.

I don't want to see you hurt.

And that was my biggest fear because statistics say that long distance hard. And at the time, I was like, this is some random dude you've met on fucking Raya, Like I don't know this guy from Bariso. Now Ben's sitting here and I love him so Ben, you won me over. But I genuinely before we get into answering, like all the questions and everything, like I genuinely want to say from the bottom my heart, I am so happy that you were happy.

Like I am so a little bit of great you What it's wrong with us?

Guy, peer fetish watch life if you want to lubricate yourself with DearS out the place to come.

No, I'm I'm so happy for you.

Guys.

I'm so happy that you proved me wrong.

And I don't I hope that you never thought that it was anything other than just like the protection of you and not wanting to see you be hurt again.

No, And I our hundred percent no. And Ben's a great guy, but we didn't know that. No. And it's so like, thank you so much for putting that package together, because I mean that was back in twenty the end of twenty twenty two. And we we do these episodes, and we've we've had over five hundred episodes so often like five hundred and seventy now just so you know, so nearly hundred episodes, so we remember what we talk about. But at the same time, we don't We don't remember exactly what we say, and then just to walk back to memory lane to like hear me talking about that first weekend that I met him, and like I could hear me blushing through that, like the funniness of me, like I yell on booking flights to see some live with some stranger in the UK. But that's what they say right when you know, you know, And I do feel so lucky that I found Ben the way that I did, after like a very dark year, and that I get to look back on it because of our job, like that is such a special thing, isn't it. It's such a special thing, And that you guys just put that together for me, So thank you so much. You pulled one on me this time.

Well, Ben's going to be joining us on the air at some point, but before he comes on and sort of tells us like his side of the engagement story, we wanted to have the opportunity to grill you first. So we've got all the questions from you guys, we also have loads of questions ourselves. I want to kick it off because I have a few things that I want to tell you around the ring and around the fact that we all kind of had an inkling.

Well, actually we knew it was happening, but we didn't know when.

So you played the surprise so fucking well, because we had a group text going after Hamilton Island and we were like, do you think he did it?

Do you think he did it? And then the fact that you held the secret for.

So long, which I know that the diary kind of like enabled that to be the case, but you held the secret for so long that we all doubted ourselves completely and thought, Okay, it hadn't happened on that weekend, he must be doing it at another day.

I ghastlie he gasped it as hard.

You played it so hard, but talk us through like the start of the day, what was happening when you were in Hamilton Island, and like what was happening in the day prior.

I wonder if Ben's story is going to be slightly different, But the way that I see it is we'd only been in Hamilton Island one day, and the night before Ben and I had gone to dinner and he just wasn't normal. He wasn't that abnormal. But I was like what I ended up putting dinner? I was like, well, are you all right? I was like, what is wrong? And he's like, nothing, I'm just tired. Like I'm just and I'm like, but you're on holiday, why are you tired? You've done Yeah, meanwhile, I've been running in ragged like with everything booked every day.

You're like, you're a professional sports player, you do way more than this. You should be this is a relaxation for you.

So there was in hindsight, I look back and I see that that was because he was nervous, Like that was the night that he was thinking, oh my god, tomorrow, I'm having this moment. I'm looking at the person I'm gonna ask to marry me. But I was like, what the fuck is wrong? I was like, So then the next day, Ben was like, I'm going to make you breakfast in the morning because we're staying in an airbnb on the island. So he's like, I'm gonna make you because he loves to cook, I'm gonna make you a huge, beautiful, big breakfast in the morning. We wake up and he's like, oh my god, I forgot the avocado for the avocado toast. And I'm like, I'm like, how could you forget the one. It was one of Three's avocado toast. He goes to sid Mac and he's like, I got the bread. That'll do me. So he's like, i'd better go down to super buck and get it. And I was like, oh, come, and he's like, no, just stay and relax. And I was like, it's fine. I want to get a coffee. He's like, I'll bring you a coffee back and I was like, babe, I'm coming. We'll get a coffee, we'll go for a walk. And he's like, can I just make you breakfast in bed? And I was like fine. For whatever reason, You're like, you're being crazy. So yeah, So I can't wait to pick a fight with you about this, so I said in bed. And it turns out that I had been stuck to him like glue since he's been here, that he purposely forgot the avocado so that he could have ten minutes to go to the supermuke in the morning to call my dad and ask my dad. So that was the moment that he left to call my dad. I mean, you really left it to the last minute bed, I said the same thing. I was like, He's like, you wouldn't leave me alone. I was like, babe, I think most people ask like months in advance the day of what if he said no, what were you?

Like?

What were you going to do? I said, He's like So he literally caught and was like, I'm gonna ask Brittany this afternoon if that's cool. I'm like, man, what if you said no, it's not cool? What do you do?

Then?

So the day was normal, We're sitting by the pool and this this big, beautiful boat went past the ocean, so beautiful that I don't often comment, but I was like, wow, Ben, like, that is a beautiful boat. I didn't know obviously, but he knew that that was the boat that he had charted because they had messaged him saying the boat's leaving now blah blah blahlah blah. So he's like, wow, that is a beautiful boat and then we left it. Now. I have said, and I've said it on the podcast before, so OG listeners, you guys will know I have said before that I've had conversations with Ben where I'm the planner. I'm always surprising him with stuff like hardcore boats and choppers and fishing trips and diving with whales and whatever. There's always something I've said to Ben next trip, I'd really like a surprise if you can do that to me because I like surprises too. So with an hour to go, we're sitting by the pool. He's like, hey, I haven't told you yet, but in an hour we're going somewhere, and I said where and he's like, we're going on a boat. So we played it down. He's like, we're going on a boat and I was like, yes, you did a surprise, like amazing, thank you. I was like, is it the same kind of a snorkeling trip we did last time? And he's like yes, I know you love that so much. He goes out to the barrier reefs. I was like epic. He's like, we've got an hour to get ready. So I put on my togs that just snorkeling gearsk, I have my crocs on. I had everything and I was like ready to go. And with probably three minutes to go, Ben was like, oh, it's like quite a nice cruise first before we get to the snorkels, so pack something nice. It's like, why don't you put a dress on and pack your togs and I'm like no, it's fine, we're going to be snorkeling and it looks gross anyway, and in hindsight I can see it playing through his head. He's like, yeah, but we never get nice photos, like this is going to be a beautiful boat. He's like, it's nicer than last year.

Like we always get nice photos and I put them on my shrine. Yes, I get professional photos taken at every location we go to. So I was like, okay, I'll take a dress and he's like, no, let's get take away, you know, he goes, let's he goes, we'll get some nice photos.

He's like, because there's other people. It's like a sunset he cruise. You know. Yes, He's like, so let's get the photos first and then you can put your your swimmers on. Then we'll go snorkeling, and then you can be gross, you know, like snorkel gross. So I was like fine. So he with two minutes to go, he pulled a dress out because I always bring a white backup dressing case, ten white dresses. So yeah, can you okay I love this for how long? For how long?

Now?

In terms of your relationship, have you been just packing a white dress for the occasion? So funny to me, that you have this idea that it had to be a white dress, because I've never heard that from anyone else.

It's not It didn't have to be a white dress at all. But we all know my entire life, I'm a neutral girl. White is my favorite color. It definitely didn't have to be white. I had a number of nice dresses that would have been a little bit dresser. And so Ben went into my wardrobe with two minutes, pulled a dress out and he's just put this on. We'll take your swimmers. And I was like, wow, fine, you really wants this photo. Still didn't think about it because I just knew he'd made this sunset cruise. So we get down to the boat and the boat's not there. Then there's this whole other family with kids, and I was like, I was like, are they on a fucking boat? And he's like, well maybe, babe, And I'm like, six screaming kids on holiday that's on our boat. I was like, did you book an adult's only boat? Like such a mole of like what? And he's like I feel personally, yes, I'm like that would be me.

I like, shut up, you beautiful couple who were like clearly just want to get engaged.

Listen to my screaming children who have knits.

So I just thought this whole family was going on our boat because it was no one else there.

And then a helicopter bus pulls up and he's like, surprise. It's a double surprise, and I was like, oh my god, we get to go to hell.

Okay, surely if you're getting a fucking helicopter to a boat, there's a little tiny bit of you, even if it's just your pinky toenail where you're like maybe maybe so you'll remember last.

Maybe he's going to pop the question. You remember we joked last year how I did the surprise for Ben at Hamilton Island. I took him on a helicopter cruise through the Sundays to a private island where you have a picnic. And the joke was I handed the engagement to him on a platter, you know. So I just thought it was the same thing. He's like, same as last year. I know you loved it, but I still genuinely and I'll explain why I didn't think it was going to happen in that moment. So we land, we take a few steps towards the picnic. He was like, you left your bag in the chopper, So I run back to the chopper. Meanwhile, as we're landing in the helicopter, the whole beach is beautiful and private. It's white Haven Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and it is so bare and there's two girls doing a photo shoot like one hundred meters up with a photographer. I thought that they were a gay couple that were just doing because it looked very lovey and romantic. So I was like, oh my god, they're doing a photo shoot that's so beautiful. They've just crushed it one hundred meters down the road. Yes, So I was like, well, how beautiful is that going to be? Again, didn't think anything of it. The helicopter landed. I take a few steps away towards the water. Ben goes back to get my bag and he's like come in, and he's like running up behind me. And then as I turn around, I'm talking. We had been out of the helicopter. I don't think the roads had even stopped. We had been out for like twenty seconds. And I turn around and he just falls to a knee. That was so quick it was an and I, in true Prittey style, just burst into laughter. I could not and bends on one knee with this beautiful ring. I hadn't even looked at the ring, and I mean hysterics, hackling, and he's like, are you gonna eat? Yeah? And then and then I'm just don't you know when you're just so shocked? So I dropped to my knees as well. He's like, why are you on your knees? Stands up and did he actually ask the question? Yes, okay, he said, I love you, You're the woman of my dreams. Will you be my forever squid? It's very cute. Laura wants to laugh. Men and I call it cute names are still cute?

What does Mac?

Mac doesn't even have a cute name for me? Fucking be nicer to me. He never proposed. He just got down on one knee, cried and then popped straight back up and never actually said will you marry me? But the ring was a pretty good indicator. Yeah, I mean he gave one way also that dropped to the knee and the pop up and then the ring. It was a good indication that he wanted to marry me. But hasn't actually asked you? He didn't say yes, still hasn't.

Well, I mean Ben said, well, we be my forever squid. So I'm taking that as will you marry me? So I dropped my knees, still laughing. He's like, get up. Why are you on your knees. Anyway, then I noticed the photographer who was at the helicopter. So the photo shoot was fake so that the photographer could be waiting on the beach. So those girls were not getting a photo shoot. They were not a gay couple, they know. They were actually the wid cameras. They were the women that organized the whole proposal with Ben. They were decoys. Yeah, they were a decoy. Well, you can't just have a photographer roaming around a picnic. That's a bit. I thought maybe the helicopter pilot doubled moonlights. No, but that would have been a giveaway if I was coming down and there was a photographer sitting there waiting and I was like, oh my god, I'm about to get engaged. But they were doing their own beautiful photo shoot, which happens in Hamilton Island. So I'm laughing on my knees. He's like, get up. So I get up. He gets up, still hystorically laughing, cuddling him, kissing him, whatever. There's photos of us, me cuddling him with I'm still holding the ring out behind my back, like I just haven't even looked at it yet, and he has to actually physically push me away and he's like, can you answer me? And I was like, oh, what was the question? I was like, oh my god, yes, and then that was it. We had this beautiful, beautiful moment. The photographer was amazing. We didn't even notice her.

You know, I don't know, you're just so I mean, you're so used to enough to being on the Bachelor, you could have a camera for a foot away from you whatever. Literally, I know it's been a long time, but it is a very desensitizing thing. Like even on the batch by final, I was like, what cameras and there's like a whole crew and I was like, love.

Me exactly, you're fink of me. Why do you have to go thereh sorry, I can't be here anyway. So Ben was like, baby, you haven't even looked at the ring yet. And I was like, because I don't care. I don't want to say I've thought about it. My whole life because I haven't been that person, but since I've always thought about who my person's going to be. But I haven't ever cared about that proposal moment as much as some people might. And he's like, how have you not looked at the ring? He's like, God, damn it, look at the bloody ring.

I mean it has its own gravitational pull, so like it's surprising that you didn't just get sucked into its orbit.

To be honest, yes, you're like trying to say I do, and you're like, ah, I love you anyway, but I yeah, I do like that. He was a bit upset by that, and then I did cry in between the laughter. I was so overcome with emotions, like exactly like what we've been doing since we've been talking about it, laughing, and then I was crying and then laughing. You almost like feel a bit hysterical, don't you.

With the wave of hysteria from like happy laughing to like crying to them laughing, You're like, is this a breakdown? He thought I was, by Am I an emotional breakdown right now? Is this a Tuesday for me?

It's so funny. Then after, immediately after he was like, look, I'm not gonna lie. I did expect or hope for a few more tears.

Less laughing or were made up for it on podcast, but I didn't think they'd be quite so much laughter when I asked you to marry me, and I had to explain to him that that for me was shocked.

And that's how I, I mean, we all know laughter and humors how I deal with everything, Like any emotion, I just start laughing.

But I genuinely think for a lot of people, they probably don't respond in the way that they think they're going to respond because, like, especially if you are caught off guard, sometimes not even if you're caught off guard, like even if you know what's coming, I guess it's something that you probably played out a version of it in your head, but when it actually happens in real life, things don't like connect as quickly as what you expect them to.

Yeah, when I went back through the photos, because I had the dress has all this open side, and I just had the oldest, ugliest, grayest undies on that you could see, because I was like, fucking, who cares, I'll get changed into my summers when I get there. So then as students. I realized we were engaged. I took my off. I was like, Profess like, can you wait a minute. And I took my unties off, and I was like, now, don't shoot from below. Don't because all the flaps were ours like everything. So I was like, just shoot me. You know, I have to free flapping in all of your engagement picks. I free flapped in all the pigs. Yeah, I did.

I did wonder where like the pantelon was. I did have that thought. I was like, that's an aggressive dress. I couldn't wear that. Yeah, if I couldn't, like I have to wear underwear. He'll led me ect to me, Laura, you can't do anything.

You don't have to wear on it. You won't even know. I'll look like I have stick on on his own. That'd just look like a Barbie doll.

Again.

I just thought this was the most incredible day of my life and I hadn't even really started yet. So then this tiny little boat turns up to the beach to the shore in the middle of nowhere, and they were like, this is your charter and I was like what, So we get on this little boat that speedboats as to the big beautiful yacht that we saw originally like three hours before, so Bennet charted like I just felt like a Kardashian. I was like, this is my moment that will probably never happen again. This entire boat with a crew just for us. And when we got on, he had my favorite cocktail waiting, he had an Ameritus hour waiting. He had like beautiful food platters, really nice champagne. And we were on that boat for a few hours to cruise around there with sundays with the sunset. The photographer came on the boat with us and kept shooting us on the boat and we just danced. We ate, we drank, we laughed. We were literally dancing. Like if you look at his dance, you would have thought we felt like there were fifty people around us, you know, like we just felt like so happy. Yeah, we just felt so happy in that moment. And Ben doesn't really dance, but he was happy enough to dance. The funniest thing is, and I'll put a photo up of this. I can only imagine what a boat like that set Ben back for that moment. But he wanted to be perfect. But he gets on the boat and he can't fit he had hit the roof.

He's too tall, and.

I'm like, oh my god, you paid so much for this boat. He had to like dug down. But that was the day. So we went to sunset and then we cruised back, and then we had a beautiful romantic dinner, and then we had a beautiful romantic evening. Love me evening.

Yeah, to be young again. I was so pregnant. I was so pregnant when Matt proposed to me. So I don't actually remember any of that, Like, I don't know. I think I was like you were seven months or something.

Yeah, I really baby trapped the guy, so I know you didn't. He would have proposed to you anyway. He wanted a baby, not you. He wanted trap. Yeah, sorry, he baby trapped me. That's right.

I got baby trapped by my husband. No, but I remember him proposing. But then I like don't really remember what happened after. I probably went home and had a nap. I was like, that's enough emotions for me today. I am hormonal and need to sleep.

I almost thought it was like everyone says on their wedding night, when so many people don't have sex on their wedding night. Nice different for your engagement. But I almost didn't want to do it because I was like, I'm so emotionally exhausted. But then I looked at him, I was like, oh, do it anyway, I'll do it. But I had that feeling I was like, would be my best performance? Won't be my best Hey, let's do the Starfish all right. I'm gonna get out of here so Ben can come and answer some of the questions that all of the life has had. Then welcome back to the podcast as the fiance.

Wow. Okay, if you guys listened to the pick up version of this, there was a couple of little conversations we've already had around rings and stuff. But you know what, you can just listen to this twice because we're gonna we're gonna hit it all again.

First, how are you feeling on the day?

I was okay. On the day, I was really chilled. I was really nervous.

The night before, I remember we were lying in bed and I was like, I can feel my heart pumping. It's like it's very unusual, but it was. I'm normally quite like a relaxed person. So but on the on the day I was I was really fine. Because I know she didn't know at the time, because I thought I'll tell her last minute, because if I tell her early, her brain starts sticking over and putting things together.

That's just that's just how you are.

So I thought i'd just tell her in the last minute, you know, And she's standing there in her swimmers in her bag.

I was like, Okay, that's not gonna work for me.

Thank god I didn't do that engagement.

And I looked in the wardrobe. I was like, there are two dresses in there. I was like, is this one left? I take the right one, that's easier one. I just put it on, babe. We're going to be on a boat and you know, get out of the house. It was a little bit rushed.

I also found it amazing because when you say, I know, we spoke about it like a couple of weeks ago, you were like, I'm expecting it this year, which I would then think that if you're expecting it within the year, you'd be on hyper alertly like any like semi situation that could be proposal worthy. The only thing is that you guys do proposal worthy things almost every weekend, so it's like, like, that's what keeps the mystery alive.

Well normally, normally I would be probably thinking that this would be it. But next week we're going over to see my sister, Sherry and Jay. We have some more like holiday because every time we're together, like you just said, Laura, it is a holiday, like we don't see each other all the time, so it's always nice. So I was like, we got three more trips this year, and some of them are with family, some of them with my sister, some are over the summer. So I was like, it probably wouldn't be with this one, knowing that I'm with my sister in two weeks, so I thought it was going to be in Europe in two weeks time. So it really was a shock for me and thank god. So Ben really likes to look after himself. But just before we were going, he looked at my nails and my nails were so bad and grown out, and he goes, Babe, I'm gonna go across the road and get a pedicure, which he's done before. I wasn't shocked. He's like, do you want me to see if do you need anything done? And I was like, oh, if you're gonna yes, okay, let's I'll get my nails done and at the same time, so he was like, thank fuck, then you are the most considerate men would not even think of that.

No, I just know that brit would pay attention to this. And then I kind of, look, I know nothing about nails, but I could tell they were kind.

Of like they're terrible.

They were grown forward or like you're like I.

Could see that you could climb up a wall with those talents. I thought you needed to fix them.

Yeah, so she was bulverine. She would never forgive me. If she had like a picture of her hands with the ring and the nesta.

Some scabby nails, I would have had to have done everything like this.

Yeah.

So I know I mentioned this to you last week, Brit. But so when you were in the jungle.

I got a message from Ben and it was when we were on our holiday break in maybe April, Yeah makes sense, March. Okay, So I got a message and it was actually I'll read you the message. Hi, Laura, it's Ben with a little flag. I need your help and expertise. Now that Britt is out of the way, it's the perfect time to talk. Well, I'm not dead. You were in the jungle, you were, yeah, you were gone, and this has a little ring emoji and that said, just gathering some info from you and also from Sherry for the perfect one. Can we arrange a quick call when you're free to talk about some ideas that would be great? Have a great day then, And at the time I was overseas, so I was like Ben exclamation that I had to keep this a secret from you and from everyone right and ild Island.

You said to me, do you think you're going to get engaged?

I was like, just to really rub it in because I didn't know, because then Ben went silent. So we had been talking a little bit back and forth around different ways to set the stone, different ways in which the best way to set a diamond also like what you might like. So the thing that was very very convenient was at the time brit being in the jungle, I had access to your full social media, so I was doing I was managing like all Brits socials at the time through like Instagram that they were from Mitch and I went through and luckily Britt had done her absolute due diligence and obviously was very looking forward to the day that she was getting proposed to, and she had start to save not one, but many engagement rings.

All of the different ones, yes, but all of us.

There were so many, sayd, it was like she had a whole photo of just like wedding and engagement rings. But the thing that was very apparent was although they were all slightly different shapes, there was only two. Shit, there was like oval and cushion cut. That were the only two. But there was one thing in common, and that was that they were fucking massive. Every single one was so obnoxiously big. Yeah, dream big, manifest your perfect rings, save them and make it easy. So anyway, I then screenshot all the ones that I thought were very much like your most recent style and I sent them to Ben and then from there the perfect ring was created and you did so well, it was so beautiful.

Well, I obviously knew you were with the other business that you were.

You know, the person to speak to, you know what to do, you kind of know the ins and outside of Yeah, so I thought you spend every day together, So I'm sure he would have come up at some stage like if I wanted to get information, you were the one because you had.

The expert I did try and give you the information.

I was like, she wants yellow gold finally, So you sent me a ring that you were like, hey, what about this one? And I was like, absolutely not. It was a white gold for prong diamond ring. You sent me a photo of it, and I was like, will not want that. She does not wear white gold, she will want yellow gold. And it sent you into a headspin because you were like, I must confirm this.

When we talk about Juliet. I know she likes gold, but obviously different kind of gold and on all that kind of stuff. But the way my brain works is I do things step by step. Yeah, so I would have just focused on the actual diamonds and not knowing that it's actually important what kind of gold it is, you know, white gold, the.

Rose gold or whatever.

So I was just like, and you're like gold as gold.

All, yeah, gold is gold. But I was like, is this the right diamonds?

Yeah?

So I'm just I'm not paying attention to the ring at this stage because I'm working in like a set order in my head. I focus on I focus on the diamond, which is I thought it's the most important, and then I got into the four seas or three seeds or whatever clarity and cut, and.

Then what's the set? And yeah, what's the setting? What's the ring? And then ring size.

I was just focusing on the actual diamond and going right, I got the diamond, right, what's the setting? And then I just worked my way down till I have all the information I needed. You were which is confusing for some people.

Well, I know, I feel like it's the opposite for someone who works so because like I spend most of my days working with people who are getting engagement rings done.

You were so thorough. You knew so much.

I did my research like incredibly. Sorry, most men rock up and they're like, my girlfriend wants a ring. But you, I mean, you did an amazing job. It is so so beautiful. How did you feel when you got the ring?

Yeah?

I got the ring and I opened the box. I didn't know it had this light. So it has this light which shines directly onto the diamonds.

From the box. It's also where did you because you got it.

Made in I got it made in Dubai.

Bye, and you got the diamond sourced in Dubai.

Yeah.

So I had a friend, my agent helped me out with this, who said, hey, I've had my ring done for my wife. Quick turnaround, because I thought, because we talked about it, we thought, you know, it's going to be six to eight weeks and whatever is the ring going to come from your factory to here and I pick it up or whatever? You know, it was just too hard. So I thought I'll get him made in Dubai. I had somebody bring it over. And then I looked at this box and it had this light and I didn't know it came with a light. And I opened it and I was like, oh, it's what is that. It looks like a toy box, you know. He was but he was sparkly, you know.

It was nice. And then to be fair, it looked great on the video.

It looked nice in the box, but it doesn't look as nice as it does on your finger.

It looks so much better.

It's beautiful.

I'm glad you approved. You obviously know what you're talking about, but I'm really happy it came out this way. And then last minute, obviously I realized it's quite a big stone, and I thought I need to break down the ring a little bit optically. So I thought that I get this little hidden halo kind of thing, which obviously I didn't know existed, but you know, I did my research, and at one stage I was listening to some girl doing an Instagram live talking about rings and settings, and I'm just like, I'm just like on the team bus, like just looking at engagements in we although all the boys are watching football and stuff, and I'm like, okay, so hidden Halo, you were so far.

You sent me one message and you were like, I think I'm going to go hidden Halo pave setting, and you like enlisted all the things. And I don't think in my entire time, like I'm talking fifteen years of doing this, have I ever had someone be that specific and know what the actual technical terms were.

If I do, they want to do it properly, Yeah, like I want to.

I get that impression like a fiance.

Yeah, that's all over the other thing.

That's very cool.

And I also think that this is interesting for people who maybe haven't gone down the path of looking for an engagement ring is that there's so many more accessible sources for diamonds now, and so what you guys went and chose is they call it a lab grown diamond, But I want to be very specific because it's the exact same composition of an actual diamond a lab grown diamond. They're obviously still certified, they still go through all the same processing, but they are very ethically created.

Well, I had only I mean, whenever Ben and I in the past had spoken about it, I had said the one two things I want one just I want yellow gold and the other thing. I always wanted lab grown diamond because of that exact reason.

Yea.

I was like, and Ben didn't really know about it then, because why would you. But He's like, don't you want a real diamond? And I said, it's identical. It is exactly the same, except ethically sold.

Then A very big question for you guys, and something that so many people are interested in from the outset is obviously you still are doing long distance at the moment, how do you plan and the conversations that you've had around how does this change things?

What are your plans moving forward?

And also like, how do you maintain the foundation of an amazing relationship as you're doing this long distance?

And I don't think much is going to change. I propose because I'm in love, so that that thing doesn't change.

Is it?

Probably for some people the normal way of doing it because we haven't really lived together.

We haven't had that day to day together.

So for some people it might be a little bit unusual, but it doesn't really doesn't really change for me or for us. I think we got into this relationship knowing what the relationship is going to. Obviously the end goal is to live together.

Of course.

I think as many people are aware that somewhere down the line, after my career or just before my career comes to an end, I'd love to live in Australia.

I love Australia.

I love the people, how friendly are they are, Love the country obviously the way there's a nice upside to maybe some parts in the UK.

So sorry about the spartas and the snakes and stuff. Yeah you got to say the wind it was.

A big problem. But I've stayed away from them, which is nice.

A lot of people don't understand and it confuses a lot of people. And I understand that we do get those comments, and we have got a few of those comments. How can you get engaged and not live together? But not all relationships are created equal, and it's not the same for everyone, And for us this is just worked well for now, and it will keep working because I'm not currently saying yes to marry somebody because of the day to day. I'm saying yes to marry a person that he is and the person and the things that we have together. And we have to work maybe a little bit harder to make our relationship the same as somebody else's that lives together day to day. But we've spent and Ben, you know, Ben says, oh, we don't get the day to day together. We spend two months at a time together sometimes, so it's not like we're not spending the time together where we're living with each other.

Then we go away for two months and we come back. Also, I would say, I mean, if you guys haven't listened to it. We interviewed Aaron Holland on the podcast earlier in this year, and she spoke so beautifully around her long distance relationship and how you know, she was engaged, she was married, and they were still navigating that long distance aspect and so everybody's relationships are quite different.

And I think, had I not heard.

Her speak about it and speak about how they were doing it very very successfully despite people's perceptions around their relationship and the way she described it was Like, the hardest thing that we deal with isn't the fact that we do long distance. It's that people think that it can't work when it does work. And like, I really appreciated her perspective on that because I think that really changed the way I feel about it.

And we are working towards it. This isn't forever, but right now in our life. We know we love each other, we know we want to spend our life each other, we know we want to get married, we know we can't currently live together.

Like, these are just all straat any relationship. It's just it's just a face. You know.

The way we got to know each other was maybe different than other people do their dating life.

You know, they probably choose a.

Partner who lives within half an hour an hour where they are based. You know, we just happen to live really, really far and maybe do it what some people call it the hard way. But it's not hard work because we love each other. Yeah, we love each other, so it's not a chore to talk to each other. I wake up in the morning, I'm excited to call her.

You know, we have a long day.

I'm excited for her to wake up and call me. And we talk about the day and everything, and that works for us. Is that what we probably would have wanted before we met each other. Absolutely not, which I think I made pretty clear on our so called one night stand. But now we're here and we're making the best of it, and I think we are really happy the way it's gone now. But we are working to an end goal, which is obviously living together and being together and being at the same location.

And this is something which comes with a lot of privilege as well, in the fact that you guys are in such a fortunate situation with work and with the way your lives are structured. Most people wouldn't be able to do long distance in the way that you do it, because it is very expensive to fly and see each other all the time. It does take a lot of time away from normal work, so if you work on normal nine to five, you couldn't have that flexibility. The way in which your lives are is not the norm for most people, and that's like such an exception to the rule as well, I think, which is what makes it work. If you had all those other constraints, maybe it would be too hard. Oh, definitely, one hundred percent. You have the ability to be able to get on a plane and if things are tough to go, you know, and to be together.

The thing is we don't really financially. It is very very expensive and we definitely have to and I do all the flying. Basically, we definitely had to make a conscious decision that like, if we're going to do this, it's going to cost us a lot of in flight to year, We're going to have to make some sacrifices elsewhere. But in terms of being able to get on a plane when we want, we both can't do that. Ben gets four weeks off a year.

That is it.

So for all the people asking why Ben never comes to Australia, he football is a job and he works six days a week. They get one day off a week if we're if they're lucky, and they get four weeks off a year, which is right now. So that is it. For me. I'm here and I'm on radio. I can't leave either. So we do have very structured Every two months, I get two weeks with radio that gives us off and then I'll go over there. So it's actually not as free flowing as I think. People think.

It's funny when you were in the Jungle when you were doing I'm a Celeb. I got into a fight with someone on the comments on I'm a Celeb because every day people were writing like, I don't get it. Why doesn't she just go? She just has a little podcast. She can do that from anywhere. And I got to a point where I was so sick of that conversation because I was like, firstly, obviously, if you could do that, you would do it. And secondly, it was almost this like narrative that was starting to play out, and I could see it. It was like that I'm keeping you from going, And I was like just going to jump in here, hi everyone, since I know because I'm trying to keep her from you, but that's actually my my evil plan is to keep it myself.

No.

I was like, I hate this narrative that it should be you that just gets up and goes because you.

Have a job that you've career behind. She should follow me.

Yeah, And everyone says, oh, but like Ben has a career and he can't leave, he can't leave the Celtics and just come to Australia, and Britt you just you do a podcast. You can do that from anywhere. And I wrote this comment back, and I was like, I just want to make it really clear. We have one of the biggest podcasts in the country, we have staff that are dependent on us, we run a radio show. I was like, this is not something that you can just jump online and do an hour of. I was like, there is so much work that goes into running a business. And also, why is BRIT's career so invalidated in this conversation? Ben, you can play soccer anywhere, come on over. Sure you won't get paid as much, but like we've got we've got the what was it a Central coastbvert Sydney like, but you know what I mean. I was like, people can be so quick to invalidate Britt's career as the female in this relationship, but nobody invalidates yours. Everybody understands why you don't come here, but nobody understands why Brick doesn't just go to you. And I feel the defensiveness over her because I've seen what you have created. And when that time comes and you're making it of the volition of yourself and you're doing it for the greater good of the two of you, will make it work. We absolutely will make it work, and I have so much respect for that, but I don't respect other people's opinions when they're like, well, why doesn't Bridg just do this because it invalidates the businesses that you've created one hundred percent.

And also like podcasting technically can be done anywhere. Yes, so people are right when they say that it does make it a lot harder with time differences, but people underestimate I think how hard we've worked to get to where we are in terms of radio and our career in media. Physically, I have a Monday to Friday job as well as the podcast. Radio is Monday to Friday, Like we do have a media job here as well, so and I'm really proud of that and I love it. So I also don't want to give that up. And Ben doesn't want to give his career up because his career is an infinite it has an end date. They are athletes retire and he will never kick a football again except for maybe with maybe with the local teams. He'll probably always playing with the kids. But like that is a huge reason that totally people don't understand why we are long distance for now. But we're both proud of that.

I just say this with the utmost respect for both of you, like in the fact that you are making it work, the fact that you both are able to prioritize relationships but also have goals that you're passionate about that are individual to you, that you care about.

It's also one of the things I'm most proud of that she is so driven, successful and you guys are doing so well. And I think it's a classic case of like, you know, a biow to respect. What do I care what other people think? Britta and I are happy. Yeah, and that's that's the woman I'm going to spend the rest of my time with, not with someone who come on something on Instagram. One of the things I was like, I'm so glad she's independent, she's driven and goal focused, and she wants to do well and she wants to live her passion. But at the same time she lets me live my passion and pursue my career. And like I said, we know there's a name goal and if we work hard at what we love to do right now, hopefully our life will be better down the line with all the stuff we work for.

Guys, I'm so happy for you. When is the wedding going to be and what can we know about it. We're thinking probably this time next year. I don't want a long engagement. And I say that because we still want to go on the kid train, like we still want to go.

I mean you can have kids and then get married. I know someone in the room who did that. No, I think because we know for us it's highly likely kids will be IVF, which is a whole fucking other kettle of fish, like it's you really have to commit there to the process, to the process, because it's expensive, it's long, it's emotionally draining, physically draining, like there's so much that goes into it. So I just don't I wouldn't want to be going through that, And also saying what if I get pregnant when the wedding happens or what if?

You know?

So I would rather just be fully committed when that time comes. So yeah, probably this time next year. We think maybe it'll be like maybe a destination wedding somewhere island that bends family doesn't have to travel quite as far. Someone nice, warm and tropical could be Balley could be, Hamilton Island could be I don't know, Fiji, you know, you get the idea like somewhere because it'll be Australian winter, so I would like it to be a bit warm warm, so it can be like a couple of days of wedding stuff and then everyone has a holiday. Yeah. Do you think it'll be a big or a small wedding?

What's considered the big wedding?

Well, over one hundred, I would say it is a big wedding. I would say under eighty is a small wedding.

Small.

Yeah, I mean because my side of the family or friends, they have to travel a long way. Obviously, we're going to have to see how many people actually make it over. That's why we want to have like a nice destination wedding so people can have a holiday and maybe combine it that maybe.

And also weeds wants to come.

Yeah, destination weddings like only it weeds out people and only the people that really want to commit and like you're really important clothes people come, don't you reckon? Is that rude?

No?

I think that that's exactly why people have destination wedding.

Yeah, it's like only people who really care about you or really really want a holiday, they are the only two people that come.

It's hard because obviously a destination wedding will never make it Europe, where it's super expensive for people. It's always going to be close to Australia because it expenses a part two, like, it's really expensive living right now, and it's just unfortunate that our families live on the other side of the world and we have to try and find it a halfway kind of place.

In terms of like how many people from your side of the family and stuff, Ben, what do you think would be like, how many people do you think would come?

It's hard to say.

I think if all my sort of close friends are able to make it will probably be between twenty and thirty. With partners, obviously it will be between twenty and thirty.

Max.

Yeah, we have a small wedding. It was like seventy five people and it was perfect. It was a perfect size.

I reckon it will be around that.

Yeah, fifty to seventy people. I reckon amaze, which is nice. It's amazing. Okay. And if you guys have kids, will they be bilingual? Well not from me? Aloyish? Do have you do you try like, have you tried to learn? Yes? I try, Donkey Shasasi's quitsy. No, they will hopefully be tri lingual, but it will all be Ben's. It's not going to be me. What languages do you speak?

Obviously? I grew up German.

We have a Swiss German sort of like accent, which is basically the same. We learn French and English obviously in school, and then later on we would we would learn Italian, which is I can understand more than I can actually speak.

But that's kind of the mein so funny.

When we met, we were talking about languages the first, you know, and I was like, so, what languages do you speak? Can He told me, like write it off four And he's like, what do you speak? And we're like English, there's nothing more Australian. I was like, English, we don't speak anything. I've felt so stupid.

There is nothing more Australian than only knowing one language. And it's embarrassing for us.

But I definitely think me and the kids need to gang up on Britain speak another language behind their backs.

Then is committed to teaching minimum two languages to the kids, which is a big effort because it means constantly he has to speak German or Italian.

It's a great thing to have in life, I think, but it also means at that point in your life, Brittin, you'll obviously start to learn it too, like that will.

That will change You've been learning and we're.

Takes a while or something. Have you he tried speaking German? It's really hard, that is it? From us?

Guys.

We are like I can't say enough times, we're so so happy for you. Welcome to the podcast that now just talks about wedding content for the next year at least.

The last thing I do want to say is genuinely from the bottom of my heart, like I was overwhelmed. It's gonna make me upset again by the more crying, more tears, just that the love from the life is like the love from just everyone. It was so much more than I ever expected. And I'm not just saying that it was overwhelming. And I want you guys to know that I have tried to read every message and every single comment, but there have been literally been like thousands upon thousands, but I have tried to read them. I probably can't write back to you all, but Ben can attest to this, like I've cried so many times reading them, he reads them out to me sometimes like he'll see them or he'll get them. And then just from strangers, like I feel like my faith has been restored a little bit in humanity like that, like thousands of strangers saying I don't even know you girls, but I'm so happy for you and like the love that you have and just the response has meant the world to me. And I'm so glad that you guys could all come along this journey because I've waited such a long time and you have been there for the whole whole ride. And I guess it's it's the next chapter. Now you get to come on the the wedding journey now and then hopefully one day the kid journey. I forget this tears, it's so slow, go fast, look at it. So a big humungo thank you And to my beautiful fiance, I adore you and I love you, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my squidty life with you. And you know the drill, friends and shade, because we are love. Tell someone, tell them the company a.
