00:36They better live happily ever after.
00:40What's all this, Mom?

00:53and we hope and pray and wish for comfort for Nana.

04:37know i don't know i have to think about work i have to think about school i have to think
04:41about y'all
04:41i have to think about leighton i am a little bit hesitant leaving leighton i have never spent a
04:47night away from her leighton's my world she's my life and i want to be a part of it every
04:52second
04:53it seems like it's something every week that we need to do something and like the honeymoon is the
04:57last thing on the mind because i'm just worried about everything going the right way on the big day
05:09good evening everyone we would like to begin by thanking uh hold on bryce is nervous to give this
05:18speech for the rehearsal dinner alex and i decided that we were going to talk to him in and give
05:23him
05:23all the pointers he needs to carry out this speech pretty well to my parents thank you for your love
05:30encouragement and guidance throughout my life um i love y'all very much um to my fiance's family um
05:40let's see so speeches have always made me nervous me accidentally messing up and then now i got all
05:51these people laughing at me just looking at the whole crowd just gives me the shivers
06:01so let's see where i left off um to my fiance's family i am committed to cherishing and caring for
06:10your daughter for the rest of my life yeah i mean the speech link is perfect yeah just when you
06:20can
06:20after each paragraph i think looking up and making eye contact with people i've got a way to help you
06:25out with the eye contact we got some people that we want to invite out and uh yeah i was
06:34only ready to
06:35say the speech in front of jonah and alex so i was thinking i'm like okay who who could this
06:40be come
06:41out so these are actual actual scale and they bring out cardboard pictures of them
06:51and i just started laughing most of the reason because their faces amber's got like the whatever
06:57her face yeah emma looks like she's about to throw down babe you look very happy yeah she looks happy
07:06i actually might not gonna help when i'm saying my speech and saying you got three of the hardest
07:12critics and i'll give you the most important part oh yeah the most important part the cardboard cutouts
07:17these are more for wedding planning light everything's supposed to be happy uplifting and just
07:24supportive appreciate it yep just drink a lot of beer before you do this and then it'll be good
07:32try to chug this down real quick i got one just to put up with this for my speeches i'll
07:39made at least three or four beers but i'm gonna have to have six for me to get on the
07:43dance floor and
07:44party hard he's perfected the perfect pocket to be in he knows his wheelhouse and at this wedding
07:50i'm gonna go over my wheelhouse so okay i got this yeah yeah we know so i'll picture y'all
08:03as my
08:04parents yes yeah and then kind of pivot your parents will be that way yeah so to my parents thank
08:10you for
08:10your love encouragement and guidance throughout my life um to my fiance's family i thank you for welcoming
08:17me into your lives with open arms kindness and generosity if bryce can deliver his speech to
08:23the cardboard cutout version of liz he can deliver it to anybody that shows up to this wedding
08:29and tonight as we share this meal and these moments together let us celebrate
08:37yeah yeah i can read it faster i think slower is gonna be better yeah if you rush through it
08:42people
08:43are gonna ask what was said what did he say and remember the rehearsal speech doesn't have to be
08:48so formal so i'll be like good evening everyone cheers to all the deer hunters i know how hard it
08:56is
08:56to not be in the deer stand right now but i greatly appreciate your generosity less have fun tonight party
09:04live it up and celebrate this match yeah yeah i mean i think that would get a better reaction
09:11not from the three sitting right there but
09:17from when we started to now i think you've already gained confidence to just
09:21go ahead on through it when i was practicing i was talking in front of cardboard
09:29and even though i did really well practicing my speech i'm still super anxious and nervous to do it in
09:37front of a big crowd i'll practice it just remember everybody everybody's going in and arriving at your
09:45guys's wedding or dinner party with the same intentions and that's to support you
10:05one of the items on the wedding to-do list was a very large dead tree
10:16the ground's a little bit soft so when it falls and hits hopefully it caves in
10:20and we don't have rotten wood splatter and fly everywhere this tree is probably going to be
10:28within 10 to 15 feet of the very large white tent that we will have for the wedding
10:36we don't want this tree to drop a limb on the tent
10:42we don't want anybody to get hurt
10:50he's got to cut about two or three more notches out of it over a 20-year time period i
10:56have taken
10:56out over 100 trees being a little person does not affect this job the most important thing would be
11:02experience knowing what you're doing no proper cuts and have an exit plan to be able to back up and
11:07get
11:07out of the way and allow the tree to fall but accidents happen
11:15there has been times when i cut down a tree and it didn't go so well
11:20one time at our old home we were cutting down a tree that was
11:23dead and leaning towards the road and in the midst of pulling it with my truck my truck caught on
11:29fire
11:29oh my gosh hopefully this tree removal will be easier than the one where the truck caught on fire
11:40the only reservations we have about a tree like this you know a four inch caliber limb that's 10
11:45foot long falling 50 foot high i could kill someone
11:52let's hope it falls the right way
12:00yeah this will probably be the cut
12:03be ready to run if that tree falls wrong
12:18be ready to run if that tree falls wrong we are taking this tree down because it's dead there's
12:24no pretty leaves on it it's just ugly looking and it's a hazard i don't want any branches falling on
12:30anybody at the wedding because we've had a branch fall off this tree quite a bit so it's gotta go
12:37yeah this will probably be the cut
12:42y'all watch out three's falling
12:48went pretty good
12:52my dad had an accurate prediction on which way it was going to fall and he was right you know
12:57it
12:57was all fun to watch the tree go down for three seconds and then we were back to work so
13:03let's
13:04wrap out all this stuff get all this cleaned up the hardest part was the cleanup after it
13:12holy crap
13:16golly i'm out of shape
13:19now it's time to start cutting the trunk up into logs so we can roll them far enough out of
13:24the way
13:27my arms are weak
13:31you know doing something this strenuous or this amount of work this close to the wedding probably
13:37is not the best idea but this work has to be done because the wedding's not going to be put
13:41on hold
13:47damn my chest is tight your chest chest is just tight so you have heart palpitations bad
13:56china's cutting up the tree and he starts having chest pains heart palpitations obviously you know the
14:02the first reaction is like heart attack
14:07chest is just tight heart attacks congestive heart failure high blood pressure that is all on his
14:15mom's side as a family that's very very concerning
14:18you need to sit down because your heart rate's moving too fast do you need to go to the er
14:25the immediate thought to my mind is is something really wrong is all the stress of the wedding
14:31getting to him all this planning and prepping that we've been doing are we overdoing it for my dad
14:35because i also need him there to walk me down at the end of the aisle man that damn that
14:40damn drink got
14:41me rushing like my chest is tight i ain't eating anything about 6 a.m amber and i woke up
14:48we have
14:48our coffee together amber's coffee just like asphalt patch it's thick amber takes a five pound bag of
14:54coffee and gets four coffee pots out of it but it's like a get going get it boy but you
15:00need food after
15:01i was drinking that coffee i went out and i never did eat anything
15:07is he about to pass out no it's fine but will you run up and grab me a bud washer
15:13please no you're not
15:14going to get that if you're feeling like that elizabeth i got to finish this field for your
15:17wedding and it's going to take a bud washer no we can't eat food like normal people we're not doing
15:23beer it helps no i'm fine now dad wants a beer and the beer will fix everything no dad you
15:30don't need
15:31a beer what's wrong does your chest hurt i'll be fine i'll be fine too much coffee
15:34i don't know what the hell was wrong with him but it turns out he is fine
15:39let's take a walk bryce come on everything we've done is fine because it needed to be done and it's
15:45going to look okay but there's a difference between green grass and enough grass base for that ceremony
15:52but we still have this area right here that is very nice and it's very flat and it's perfect size
15:57god
15:57bliss right we are a month out and trent is wanting to move where the ceremony is scheduled
16:04to be trent is not wanting to move trent is telling bryce and elizabeth if the grass is not thick
16:11and lush
16:12i want to have a backup plan and the backup plan is just right of the original ceremony area well
16:19last i
16:20checked the people that said it makes sense to be right over there it's what julie was down here she
16:25said
16:25it doesn't matter both spots are great and she said it's ultimately up to elizabeth when we did
16:29the walkthrough julie said for us to put the ceremony here now dad says we should put the ceremony
16:36here instead she also knows who she's dealing with and people just say you know what i'm not
16:42going to argue with him because i guarantee you that she would be like you need to have it over
16:45there
16:46i don't care i don't care i don't care i don't care just pick it because i don't like being
16:52the one
16:52to decide because then it's somebody's not going to be happy at the end of the day and then it's
16:57my
16:57fault because i'm the one that makes the last decision and i don't like that i don't like to be
17:00that person but honestly whatever makes you guys happy because i'm kind of done with this wedding
17:04planning stuff you can pull we can't be done we ain't even there yet
17:17so first thing is welcome to elizabeth's bridal shower do you feel like elizabeth is going to be
17:25surprised like nobody's shoulder yet yeah i hope nobody has told her i hope this is supposed to be a
17:33surprise since elizabeth has been really stressed about the wedding planning we are throwing her a
17:38bridal shower and we're just being super casual we're like last minute gonna be like hey let's go
17:43meet for lunch not like hey elizabeth two weeks from now let's go meet at lunch no no because then
17:49she's
17:49going to know something is up even though madison threw elizabeth a bachelorette luncheon at elizabeth's
17:56house there was still a lot of work involved on elizabeth's behalf so we figured throwing her a
18:01surprise bridal shower she would not have to do any work and she would just show up relax and be
18:08celebrated shoot i'm miss feeling welcome
18:14so i'm moving everything down now for two
18:17hey but it doesn't matter because we're gonna take it it's not t-o-o no no it's t-o
18:24so what we should have done is told dad what we want this to say and let him find the
18:30letters and
18:31see how it ended up being spelled and everything i bet you elizabeth would have been able to read it
18:37overall i think elizabeth's fine with surprises i just know if emma would have went to her and said
18:42elizabeth i want to give you a shower elizabeth would be like nah we don't need to do that
18:46you know so i was like let's keep it a surprise because elizabeth will talk you out of it oh
18:52tell
18:52me if this is even like i need to go that's what i'm saying so just stick one corner now
18:56you can move
18:57this up and down until you like to level so i'm hoping i don't like slip and say something like
19:04bridal or
19:05shower if i'm like with liz because i'm usually with her all the time just have to not think about
19:10it
19:11so no yeah you want to center go up higher but don't stretch it too no i'm not god we
19:19could have
19:19been smarter and just done liz oh shoot now you gotta go back down there were some points in time
19:32where
19:32we were like who the hell's bright idea this was to do this and then i really feel like emma
19:39and i
19:40were like oh when we laid it flat we started doing the etching cream
19:49oh the stencils are like lifting up and it's like oh my god this stuff is these letters are gonna
19:55be
19:56screwed like it's just it's going to be a hot mess well if this goes through the letters i mean
20:02there's
20:02not much we can do great this mirror was relatively expensive emma actually went out bought it
20:10so if this mirror does not work out not only are we out some money but i'm gonna have one
20:15pissed
20:16off 20 year old at this bridal shower hmm what there's like chunks of stuff hopefully that's not like
20:37we're needing some wood for some wedding arches she's the bride i'm the carpenter we are picking
20:43out lumber for elizabeth and bryce's wedding arches should we call it beauty lumber this is your pick i'm
20:49here to just no no no i'm not getting married just like with any other project picking out wood is
20:55picking out wood smells like trees looks like trees same old same old i'm sure bryce would love to hear
21:02that it is picking out woods picking out wood so when we build this arch we need to build it
21:12out in the
21:12circle of the driveway that's the flattest area we've got a level stones too lace odd level stones
21:18and concrete polymeric whatever stuff polymeric sand hopefully we can hurry up get some of these
21:24final projects knocked out good focus on man otherwise we just have to put on everything on hold
21:31for the past six months nana has been in hospice care but over the last five or six days nana
21:37has
21:37declined very quickly we are definitely nearing the end of life these next few days are going to be
21:44tough it's just the hard part of just waiting because it's hard to watch her not be responsive
21:50like our typical cool nana the last three days she has been non-verbal and has not been able to
21:59communicate with us here at the end i don't want her to i don't want to see her suffer i
22:04don't want to
22:05that's what the whole purpose is her in the life care is to ease it all just comfort care
22:12when she got the results back that she has stage four metastatic cancer and her saying uh i don't
22:21want to fight it i don't want the treatment that was very brave of her to make that decision and
22:26now
22:27seeing her coming to the end of this battle it brings us at peace because this is what she wanted
22:33but this is definitely the hardest part watching my dad go through this because
22:36my poppy passed away and now he's losing his mom so really everybody's just kind of thinking about dad
22:42she was good to y'all she was listen to this real quick i have this one saved hey this
22:49is your nana
22:50it's monday at 2 30. i was just calling to see how you and my little granddaughter were getting along
22:57so i love you bye as much as you're able to prepare for the loss of a family member especially
23:05during a terminal illness like nana's it is tough as much as you can prepare and understand what's
23:12going on you know these these final days are they're challenging and and terribly sad
23:22you know it kind of helps to stay busy and do things during a time like this for me at
23:30least it
23:30does absolutely i do think dad working on the wedding has definitely helped him like process the
23:38grief and help him get through this hard time because it just gives him something to take his mind
23:41off of things and i think that's good for him just so he's not in a constant like state of
23:46grief
23:46like it's good for him to get out and do something you know even if nana was able to live
23:51all the way
23:52up to your wedding i don't think she would be capable of making it to the wedding
24:11go what's up what club is that just practicing with the seven so a couple weeks ago i met up
24:17with
24:17ranch to show him the clubs that we chose for him these are sick and over the last couple weeks
24:25i have
24:25been working on them to modify to fit him and i'm looking forward for him to try them out again
24:33oh yeah seven that's the seven how's the grips the grips are looking good yeah it's been a long
24:42time coming 15 years to be exact in which i have been playing with kids golf clubs but today that
24:48all
24:48changes if we go back to your new seven old seven we're looking at a significant difference yeah in
24:56length so do a comparison yeah it's a big difference his old junior set he was striking 90 to 100
25:07let's see
25:15that sounded good right there
25:22they feel great the shaft feels great
25:27really nice with the new seven iron that i modified and adapted for him
25:33he averaged 145 150 that's a significant difference
25:40that is who he landed just before that 150 there was four average size of men
25:475 10 5 9 6 foot and ranch was out driving
25:54so right now what's the biggest change you see the feel the feel and the weight of the club are
26:00the
26:00two biggest changes just like when i'm wearing tailored clothes that fit perfectly to my body
26:06having a set of clubs that are made perfectly for my swing speed and my height just gives me that
26:12extra
26:12level of sauce and confidence to play my best goal damn dude wow anytime i have the ability or the
26:24knowledge to make adaptions for my community it's a good feeling and we don't stop at golf or there's
26:30stools in the kitchen stools in the restroom anytime we can assist and make adaptions for
26:35a load of people and i can help it's just a great feeling i mean it's the life we live
26:55should we put all the cookies on here or no yes
26:59there's been several times we almost blew the surprise she saw emma and i talking so she's
27:06like what are y'all talking about yeah we had to lock up flowers in the bathroom so we had
27:10to make
27:10a lie and say that the toilet was broke well who stopped up the toilet i'm like just quit asking
27:14questions just quit

33:08rings the wedding is almost here we're a little over three weeks away and i mean i am definitely
33:16excited it's just one of these things that the worry sets in in regards to like the weather
33:22as there really is no plan b so is it supposed to rain oh we don't know i mean we're
33:29too far out
33:30you don't know do you wanted to give your groomsmen on the day of like funny socks
33:45or do cufflinks not cufflinks not for an outdoor wedding yeah those are made to be very formal
33:53you know nana has definitely been declining and the hospice social worker has let us know that
33:59you know the the end is coming we have all been taking turns being by her bedside
34:07currently trent and alex are up there at the nursing home and the rest of us are at the house
34:13you know
34:13waiting for the call but in the meantime we're just kind of keeping our minds occupied and talking
34:19about wedding details so fun socks it is do you want beer theme hunting theme fishing thing
34:27hello
34:29hey
34:36there's stillness without you what is this hopeless pain crushing my soul
34:53hello hey bryce and elizabeth make it yeah bryce and liz are here emma and jonah are here
35:01nana just passed away about three four minutes ago
35:10she did
35:18amber and i were visiting this morning and we were there for about an hour and a half two hours
35:23and we
35:33were here for about two hours and we were at the end of life so alex rode back with me
35:36alex and i
35:37watched her take her last few breaths bless her heart her mouth was just open and she just
35:41i mean it didn't she didn't do anything yeah but she's no longer suffering
35:48i go back again to losing poppy and then finding out about nana's cancer diagnosis i guess it did
35:55prepare us which both of them always said that you're not supposed to live longer than your kids and
36:02there's a lot of truth to that and i hope that's the case for us as well
36:06so nana passing away it does give the family some closure but it's never easy losing a parent
36:16she don't look ain't different right now yeah this is a new one for me and alex together
36:20i just hugged him and i said you and i won't forget this moment together no the one positive is
36:27that her suffering is over she'll be going to heaven with poppy and everybody else up there so
36:32that's that's what's helping me get through this all right i love you i love you bye
36:42well you guys heard dad yeah yeah yeah
36:47at least she won't be suffering no more she's gonna be in a happy the happiest place
36:54yep i mean i think too for all of us the fact that she's been in the nursing home for
36:59six months has
37:00given us time to kind of prepare ourselves because i think these last couple days especially have been
37:06tough to watch nana yeah from last week being coherent talking to this week not really saying anything
37:20typical nana would be asking us questions about boyfriends girlfriends school we really didn't get
37:26that out of her for the last six months honestly so i think we're now just kind of relieved that
37:32the
37:32hard part for her is over how are you doing we both had a moment there for a second but
37:38mm-hmm i think she knew we were there yeah i think so too
37:44you know losing trend's mom it's difficult this is the first time that we have all been a part of
37:51watching someone you know slowly fade away and definitely prepared us and we got to spend some
37:58good times with nana but trent got a little emotional with alex just all of those emotions
38:04of what they just witnessed and i'm really glad that alex was there to you know to be with him
38:11and that alex handled it as well as he did
38:16i'm not going to do nana's eulogy i'm gonna let one of my sisters do it but if any of
38:21you guys would
38:22like to write something and say something you're welcome to do so i have a whole thing wrote out
38:26prepared read us what you want you want me to read the whole thing yeah okay nana killed each of
38:31our
38:32lives with love and kindness especially with her grandkids i love you her kindness is the kind that
38:39will stay with you forever when knowing our nana you knew that life with her was never boring
38:44nana's the one that's been doing pelvic thrust the longest so she should know
38:48i got it great grandma are you trying trying that don't look like it
38:57and then there was nana's unique wisdom she taught us things you won't find in any book
39:02like how to movie hop buy one ticket and get maybe one or two for free some may call this
39:08illegal
39:09but we just say that's just our nana we were super grateful you know to have
39:14nana for the last six months we got to spend the time with her tell her how much we love
39:18her and
39:19tell our final goodbyes and anyone who has met nana will definitely know that she is a lady that
39:25you'll never forget i'm thankful that poppy asked me to marry him because by doing that
39:33i'm blessed with all of y'all yeah and you can't get any better than that amen
39:42nana thank you for the laughter the lessons and the love we will miss your voice your cooking
39:46your wit your sugars and your hugs you will always be remembered you will always be loved
39:57you know as sad as it is for the loss of nana it's very important that we all still stay
40:07focused and
40:08come together as a family and make sure that we all do our best to pull this waiting off for
40:14bryce and
40:14elizabeth
40:24next time on seven little johnston's they were pretty she had every color nana had hydrangea bushes so we
40:33are going to have us a little planting to remember nana i'm hoping nana will cast down her love and
40:39her
40:40sunshine that she always brought just imagine where we'll be in like seven eight more years two or
40:47three kids then i told bryce that we would start trying after the wedding and give her one more
