Short filmTranscript
00:07I'm Erin Cahill.
00:09I've been lucky enough to tell a lot of love stories in my career.
00:13And the best ones are worth the wait.
00:16You may kiss your bride.
00:18But love stories aren't just about couples.
00:21Some of the most powerful might just be between a mother and her daughter.
00:26I can't wait to show you how much I love you.
00:28We're used to seeing moms send daughters down the aisle.
00:32But we're turning that tradition on its head.
00:34Because this time, mom's the bride.
00:38Are you ready?
00:38I'm ready.
00:40In this series, daughters take the lead, planning their mother's wedding.
00:45Growing up, you did the impossible.
00:46I can handle this.
00:48Sometimes, it's a second chance at the day mom never had.
00:51I don't think I got to pick the flowers.
00:52I don't even remember the cake.
00:54And sometimes...
00:57What? Come on!
00:58It stirs up emotions no one saw coming.
01:00I'm still trying to catch my breath.
01:03Get ready, because you are invited to a very special wedding.
01:08This is a dream come true.
01:10Where mom's the bride.
01:30I've never been to Pittsburgh.
01:32Look at this view.
01:36I am about to meet Deja and Nadia.
01:40They reached out to me to help with planning their mom Tara's wedding, which is the sweetest thing ever.
01:50I'm so excited and a little nervous.
01:53It's such a big deal.
01:54You know, it's like one of the biggest days of all of their lives.
01:57We're going to make it great.
02:00My name is Deja, and I'm the big sister.
02:04I'm Nadia.
02:05I am the little sister.
02:07Our mom's name is Tara, and she's getting married to Len.
02:12Len is a funny, caring person, and I'm so excited that he is marrying my mom.
02:22With you guys being my mates of honor, I need your help choosing stuff and just helping me plan.
02:29We can help you out with that.
02:31My mom is a warrior.
02:33Sometimes she's, like, stressing me out.
02:36I'm like, Deja, we need to calm her down.
02:38You're very indecisive sometimes.
02:39I am indecisive.
02:41There are areas where we could use another opinion, another eye.
02:50We are very thankful that Erin's coming to help us.
02:53Planning a wedding is definitely very overwhelming.
02:56We could use a lot of help.
02:58We could definitely use some help.
03:01Hey!
03:03Hi!
03:03Hi!
03:04Hi, I'm Erin.
03:05So good to meet you.
03:07Hi!
03:07I can't believe Erin is here.
03:10I am so excited.
03:12Congratulations!
03:13I'm so excited.
03:14Okay, wow.
03:16Tara!
03:16I know.
03:17He is so good.
03:18I met Len about 22 years ago.
03:22I was a waitress, and he would come in during work.
03:26He just has this way about him that makes you feel comfortable.
03:30Len is very dependable.
03:33If he tells you that he's going to do something, he is going to do it.
03:36And he is very handsome also.
03:42Len, one thing he asked for for the wedding is he wants the Pittsburgh view.
03:47So the rivers, the bridges, the city line.
03:51Because growing up near here, all like sentimental, super important to him.
03:56We just got to find the right place.
03:58Yes.
03:59For my wedding, I'm just picturing like lots of white roses, lots of white with some hints of black.
04:05And I imagine the ceremony, being in a ballroom, maybe a resort.
04:11Here in Pittsburgh, there's a big tradition.
04:14It's a cookie table.
04:16Is that like instead of a cake or?
04:18In addition to the cake, it's another bonus dessert.
04:20Oh, well, I'm here for bonus desserts.
04:22We actually set up a cookie tasting at the bakery across the street.
04:26Are you ready?
04:27Yes.
04:28Okay, let's go.
04:29Thank you so much for having me.
04:30We're going to get along great.
04:34My mom definitely wants a cookie table at her wedding.
04:36And if that's what she wants, we are definitely going to make sure that happens.
04:42Everybody loves a cookie.
04:49This is so fun to do.
04:50Oh.
04:51Hello, guys.
04:52So we're going to be bringing out all types of cookies for you to try here.
04:56Oh, wow.
04:58I have Italian sprinkle cookies, peanut butter, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, butter cookies.
05:03This is too many cookies.
05:05There's a lot of cookies here.
05:07I don't even know where to begin.
05:10So you guys, tell me about Len.
05:12Len and I met a long time ago, like 22 years ago.
05:1622 years ago?
05:18Why are you getting married now?
05:19He was working in Philadelphia.
05:22Like the kids and I were in Ohio, which makes it hard, long distance.
05:26And then the kids, we didn't feel like it was right to uproot them.
05:30Yeah.
05:30I think, you know, a lot of it's just timing.
05:33You just have this feeling and you're like, this is it.
05:35This is the time.
05:36Yeah.
05:37You guys love each other that much to, like, make it over, like, all the hardships and things
05:42like that.
05:44Len isn't Deja and Nadia's biological dad.
05:47But if you ever talk about dad, like, who's your dad, they will tell you Len every single
05:54time.
05:54How do you guys feel about the wedding?
05:57Very excited.
05:57I think it's been a long time coming, so we're ready.
06:00We've been ready.
06:02Len called us.
06:03He was like, I plan on proposing to your mom on vacation.
06:07I was like, oh my gosh, this is so exciting and this is happening.
06:11I am so excited for the wedding and I've been waiting.
06:16It's special because it's her first wedding, too.
06:19Oh my gosh, this is your first wedding?
06:21And it's Len's first wedding, so everything is just first time.
06:25I'm sorry, back up.
06:25I don't know why I just assumed everybody here had been married before.
06:28No.
06:29Oh, this is so exciting.
06:30So there's a lot.
06:31I just got, like, a little nervous for you.
06:32We have a lot to do.
06:35I am nervous with Deja and Nadia taking the reins.
06:39We definitely have different tastes.
06:42So I'm really glad that Aaron will be there to help us all focus our vision into what will look
06:49nice.
06:49Is there anything else that I should know?
06:52Len's family is like a family of line dancing.
06:56They love every line dance.
06:59I know zero line dances.
07:02And Len will get out there and, you know, like, he'll do a move or whatever,
07:06but I don't think he knows a whole line dance either.
07:08Does that mean we have to line dance?
07:10We might have to line dance.
07:11Line dancing, it's not really my style.
07:15I'm very uncoordinated.
07:16I don't have any rhythm.
07:18I think it will definitely be, like, a new challenge.
07:23I think it would be great if Deja, Nadia, and I were all line dancing in the wedding with Len
07:28and his family,
07:29showing them a thing or two.
07:31Anything else that you're a little nervous about?
07:34Speech.
07:34Right, you're the maids of honor.
07:36You're both nervous about it.
07:37It's me.
07:38I'm nervous.
07:40I am definitely on the fence about making a speech.
07:45I'm just a very nervous person when I am talking to a lot of people.
07:51She's like, I'm scared.
07:52And I was like, you can do it.
07:53Like, come on, we can do it.
07:54So, but.
07:55She was just saying that because she didn't want to be the only one up there.
08:00As maids of honor, it would mean so much if Deja and Nadia both give a speech to, you know,
08:07say how they feel.
08:08And I really hope that Nadia will overcome her nerves.
08:18Here we are.
08:20Here we are.
08:20We're here at this dance studio to learn how to line dance for my mom and Len's wedding.
08:26And I'm just not sure how it's going to go.
08:29Hi, Mario.
08:31Erin.
08:31This is Deja and Nadia.
08:33Hi, Nadia.
08:33Nice to meet you.
08:34Nice to meet you.
08:35You dancing in that?
08:36Yeah.
08:38Yeah.
08:40Nice shoes.
08:41I'm like.
08:41Oh.
08:43I thought this was a good dance over.
08:45Yeah.
08:47I live in Nashville, so line dancing means, like, country line dancing.
08:50But that's not what we're doing here today, right?
08:52No.
08:52No, not at all.
08:53Not at all.
08:53So this is more, like, more of a soulful style, right?
08:56This is something you'll see at a cookout.
08:57You know, a little more groove to it.
08:59A little more of a pocket.
09:01You know?
09:01You want to do it, too?
09:02Yeah.
09:03Yeah.
09:04Oh.
09:05Oh.
09:05Hey, Mom.
09:06Len.
09:07How are you?
09:08Hi.
09:09You have a broken arm.
09:10It's a bicep repair.
09:12Oh, what?
09:14That sounds really intense.
09:16It's not as bad as it sounds.
09:18Okay.
09:18Can you still dance?
09:19I can still dance.
09:20Oh.
09:21Oh, that's good.
09:21Okay.
09:22I've been so excited to meet you.
09:24And I've heard so much about you from Deja and Nadia and, of course, from Tara.
09:29She's wonderful.
09:30I mean, she's always been that way.
09:33You can never forget about her.
09:34Oh, that was sweet.
09:37And also, Deja and Nadia said you've really been, like, a father figure to them.
09:41And you've really shown up for them this whole time.
09:46I decided to start calling him dad because he just filled in that role very, very well.
09:53He has been there since the beginning.
09:55And growing up, he was just making those dad decisions.
09:58I was like, oh, you're my dad.
10:00That solidified it all, to know that you trusted him that much to call him dad.
10:05They're great.
10:06I mean, really, they've always been good kids.
10:09It's easy to be there for them.
10:12Oh.
10:13Okay, Mario.
10:14Are you ready?
10:15Yes.
10:16Well.
10:18As someone who just doesn't have any rhythm or any kind of motion, I think that's definitely,
10:25like, nerve-wracking for me because I wouldn't say it's really my style, but for my mom and
10:33Len's wedding day, I want to do my best.
10:35Len, when I learn this dance, you and I are going to go head-to-head.
10:39Whatever, Nadia.
10:41Whatever.
10:42He loves to pick on me.
10:44He calls me junior after my mom.
10:46He's like, oh, you're just like your mother when you do this.
10:48And I'm like, you're also engaged to her, so it can't be that bad, you know?
10:56All right, so we're going to start from the top.
10:58I'm going to go right, left, right, right.
11:03Let's just do that on eight.
11:04Five, six, seven, eight.
11:06We got right, left, right, right.
11:09See, I got rhythm.
11:10That's good.
11:10To the right.
11:11To the left.
11:12Oh, you guys got this.
11:13Two, three.
11:14This ain't the dance yet.
11:15This is just the warm-up.
11:16Got him.
11:17One, two, three, four.
11:19One, two, three, four.
11:22Now we're going to cha-cha-cha.
11:23Ba, ba, cha-cha-cha.
11:25Oh, shoot.
11:26Ba, cha-cha-cha.
11:27I didn't know you were doing that far.
11:27All right, I'm going to stop there.
11:29Did he really do this one?
11:31Do we feel warm?
11:32You weren't on beat.
11:33I was not on beat.
11:34And I couldn't get on beat.
11:36You feel good?
11:36Len, we got it.
11:37You got it?
11:38I do not have it.
11:40We'll do that one more time.
11:41In our arm, the fans come out like this.
11:43So it's a flick to the wrist.
11:44We're using the props?
11:45Yes.
11:47We got fans right here.
11:48What?
11:49Thank you, Mario.
11:50No problem, bro.
11:50Do you feel I'm ready for this?
11:53Because I don't.
11:54Why a fan?
11:55Oh, because they're hot.
11:56And you want me to do that and my leg at the same time?
11:59While your leg go like this.
12:02All right.
12:03From the top.
12:04Let's try it.
12:04From the top.
12:05Yeah.
12:06Everybody ready?
12:07Here we go.
12:08Head, right, left, right, left.
12:10And hot, hot.
12:12One more time.
12:13Right, right, right, left, right, left, left.
12:17Boom, plan.
12:18Cha-cha-cha.
12:19Step.
12:19Oh, yeah.
12:20Cha-cha-cha.
12:21Step, cha-cha.
12:22Cha-cha-cha.
12:23And one, two, three, four.
12:27You guys are pros.
12:30Congratulations.
12:31Great job.
12:31Thank you guys.
12:32Thank you so much.
12:33No problem.
12:34We had a lot of fun.
12:35Yes.
12:35So the big question is, are we going to do it at the wedding?
12:39I mean, I know that my aunts, my cousins, my sister will be doing it, so.
12:43Yeah.
12:44Deja and Nadia, consider line dances are what the old people do.
12:48You guys are going to join in?
12:50I know that it's very important for us to dance at the wedding, but it was super tough.
12:57So I'm just not totally sure I'm going to be doing this dance during the wedding.
13:04Coming up.
13:05I mean, I've never had a wedding dress on.
13:07Wow.
13:09I feel like it's very, like, princess.
13:12I mean, it is big.
13:14Given everything we've talked about, what do you think about this venue being your space?
13:23How are you guys feeling about your speeches?
13:28Nervous.
13:29Nadia, have you decided if you're going to do one?
13:32We'll see.
13:34We'll see.
13:37We'll see.
13:48Hi, welcome in.
13:50Sophia, right?
13:50Yes, Nadia, correct?
13:52Awesome.
13:52Nice to see you guys.
13:54Let's chat a little bit and see where your head's at, all right?
13:57All right.
13:58So, what are we looking for?
14:00Something just kind of clean, modern.
14:03Clean, traditional, classic.
14:05Yeah, maybe not necessarily traditional, but I'm kind of open to.
14:10Okay.
14:11Do you know, everybody, they're like, oh, you have that feeling and you just know?
14:14I do believe that.
14:15Did you have your feeling?
14:16I actually bought the wrong dress first.
14:19I went wedding dress shopping.
14:21When I came out in this dress, everybody had such a reaction.
14:23We all got swept up in the moment, and I went home and it was just, it was the wrong
14:27dress.
14:28I went and I found another one.
14:30So, the second time around, I knew.
14:32What are your takeaways that you're going to go look for dresses with?
14:35I'm thinking something fitting.
14:37Clean lines, very, like, modern, but timeless.
14:41Can't wait to see what you come back with.
14:42Let's get started.
14:43Just remember when choosing, I've waited 20-some years for this.
14:48Wow.
14:49But no pressure.
14:50No pressure.
14:50No pressure.
14:52No pressure.
14:54What do you guys think about this one?
14:58I do love a halter top.
15:01Simple, fitted.
15:02Mm-hmm.
15:03I do think she'll like that.
15:05For my dress, I want to be plain, simple, maybe like a fit and a flare.
15:11I kind of want to try on everything.
15:13I mean, I've never had a wedding dress on.
15:15Oh, this is so exciting.
15:17I know.
15:17I feel like we should look at this one.
15:19That was really pretty.
15:20You think this is her?
15:21I do.
15:22I think she'd really like this.
15:24All right.
15:25We ready?
15:26Yep.
15:26Yes.
15:27Here they are.
15:32Oh.
15:34All right.
15:35Let's go.
15:35Let's get started.
15:37We're going to be in here.
15:39Oh, my gosh.
15:40You're about to see her having a wedding dress for the first time.
15:42It's starting to feel real now that she's trying on dresses, right?
15:45Mm-hmm.
15:46Yeah.
15:47I hope that she finds a dress today that she likes because then we can mark something else off.
15:52Yes.
15:53That'll bring some stress levels down.
15:55Have you had any luck finding a ballroom?
15:58Lynn, he wants City View with the bridges because that's like a Pittsburgh thing.
16:03So I know that's big for them.
16:05Mm-hmm.
16:05So we're having a hard, I wouldn't say a hard time.
16:08We're still looking.
16:09But we found this one place that might fit everything that she wants.
16:13But it's not the, like what we think of a ballroom, like huge.
16:17Mm-hmm.
16:19Come on out, Miss Thing.
16:21Oh.
16:22Oh.
16:24Wow.
16:26That is gorgeous.
16:29It's simple, but you have just enough detail up top where it's not too busy.
16:35I like the halter.
16:36Oh, it's really chic.
16:39Yes.
16:39The train makes it look a little bit more fuller.
16:42I love the train.
16:44So I'm not sure about the slit.
16:46I just feel like maybe it's a little high for me.
16:49It would need to come down a little more for your comfortability.
16:51Yeah.
16:52Or completely just shut it.
16:54Okay.
16:54Like this would be a great reception dress with a slit.
16:57Like just like ceremony.
16:59I'm not.
17:00Into it?
17:01Oh, okay.
17:02Yeah.
17:02Like you couldn't see yourself saying your vows and that being.
17:05You could see yourself dancing the night away.
17:06Yes.
17:06Okay.
17:07Yeah.
17:07So this is a no.
17:10Well, listen, pretty halter.
17:13So close.
17:14Let's try on the next one.
17:20Oh, wow.
17:22What do you guys think?
17:25You look truly like the model for the dress.
17:30I love that it has a lot of simple detail.
17:34The buttons in the back.
17:37The rouging.
17:38But it's not overdone.
17:40I love it.
17:41So do you think you'd want to try a veil on with this one?
17:43Are you thinking a veil?
17:45Absolutely.
17:46Oh, yes.
17:47Can I grab one?
17:48Yes.
17:49Oh, please.
17:53Ooh.
17:54Look at you ducking down for your veil.
17:56You're so sweet.
17:58Oh, wow.
17:59I love this dress on you.
18:01So I do love this dress, but I have one more to try on.
18:05We should definitely try that one.
18:06Right.
18:06You might fall in love with that.
18:07Right.
18:08All right.
18:08I'll be back.
18:09How are you both feeling about everything?
18:11So far, so good.
18:13A little nervous, but good nerves.
18:15There is one thing Nadia and I have been talking about.
18:17And we do want to do, like, something special for her.
18:20Just something to express how much we love her and how grateful we are for her.
18:23I love that.
18:24She always put our needs in front of hers.
18:27Like, travel, soccer, it's expensive.
18:30Lots of travel.
18:31And she's like, okay, how can we make this work?
18:34She worked extra to make some money just to make those opportunities happen.
18:39We didn't want to do, like, oh, let's buy or something.
18:42Because, like, we can do that anytime.
18:44This is great.
18:45Making her something.
18:45Yeah.
18:46But I wouldn't say me and Nadia are, like, the creative type.
18:49This is where I can come in.
18:50This is where I can help.
18:53All right.
18:55Oh, wow.
18:56You guys.
18:58Look at this gown.
19:01It's beautiful.
19:02It's like a corset, but it's mostly lace.
19:06And the sleeves.
19:08Are the sleeves attached?
19:09No.
19:10You can take them off.
19:11How do they stay on?
19:11That's so cool.
19:12I like the ties in the back.
19:15The corsetting.
19:16Yeah.
19:17I feel like it's very, like, princess.
19:20I mean, it is big.
19:21So, like, moving it around.
19:24But, I mean, girls do it all the time.
19:27Beauty's pain.
19:28Yeah.
19:29This is not an easy choice.
19:35Oh.
19:36Ooh.
19:37Look at that.
19:39So pretty.
19:41Being see-through, I think, gives it, like, a whole different feel.
19:45Like, maybe a little bit more contemporary.
19:48It's quite a bit different than the last dress that you said you liked.
19:53So which one are you leaning more towards?
19:59I loved the last dress.
20:02I love this dress.
20:03Do I have to make a decision today?
20:05Of course not.
20:06No.
20:06You can sleep on it.
20:08This is my first wedding, and I just want to make sure I get the right dress.
20:12Both of you did great today.
20:14Well, thanks.
20:14We were hoping you'd walk away with one today, but that's okay, because whatever she decides,
20:20it'll be good.
20:21It'll be perfect.
20:31All right, Mom.
20:33All right.
20:33So, I know this doesn't look like what you and Lynn were thinking.
20:38Not at all.
20:39But just keep an open mind when we check it out.
20:42The right venue for our wedding would be the modern look with a ballroom kind of veal.
20:49All right.
20:50Keep an open mind.
20:51All right.
20:52We'll see, Deja.
20:57Here we go.
21:00Oh, my.
21:01Oh, my goodness.
21:03Oh.
21:06Look at the city.
21:07It looks like a backdrop.
21:09Oh, my gosh.
21:10The train's going by.
21:13That's really special.
21:14I mean, the size of these windows, I feel like we're outside.
21:17Yeah.
21:18Mom, what do you think about it?
21:28It's an absolutely gorgeous space, but when Lynn and I were, like, talking about what we wanted,
21:36we were really thinking, like, a hotel, a resort, like a ballroom, something like that.
21:41So, totally not, like, what I was envisioning.
21:49Coming up with the rooftop, I mean, you could have snow, you could have rain.
21:53It is a big open space in November.
21:58It's a little risky.
22:01Yeah.
22:06This is a big decision.
22:08Yeah.
22:08On the biggest day.
22:09Right.
22:10Yeah.
22:11Take time to think about it.
22:13Hey, ladies.
22:14Hey.
22:15Hey, Jess.
22:15Nice to see you again.
22:17Guys, this is Jess.
22:18We found Jess because we gave her a list of all these things that we wanted, mainly the skyline,
22:23and she's like, oh, I already know the perfect place.
22:26It's actually one of our newest venues here in town, too.
22:29Okay.
22:29And one of the only ones that has a view of this side of the city.
22:33It's beautiful, but, you know, I'm a little unsure how it's going to work, having ceremony,
22:39cocktail hour, reception.
22:41You would have your ceremony in this room, and then after the ceremony is over, we would
22:46manage a room flip for you.
22:48Room flip?
22:50We'll clear everything out, and your reception will be in this room.
22:54Okay.
22:55Where would the guests go?
22:57Oh, that's the best part.
22:58They can actually go upstairs one more level, and then there is a rooftop deck that they
23:04can enjoy with the skyline in the background.
23:07Wow.
23:07Oh, I love a rooftop.
23:09I know.
23:09I know.
23:12Oh.
23:13Ooh.
23:15Okay.
23:16Wow.
23:17This is pretty.
23:18Oh, my gosh.
23:20This is gorgeous.
23:21Amazing.
23:23The lights are beautiful.
23:24I do like the lights.
23:25It could be where cocktail hour is.
23:26That's very true.
23:27Drink with the view.
23:28Drink with the view.
23:30It does.
23:30I like that.
23:31Let's go discuss.
23:32Yeah.
23:32Okay.
23:32Yeah?
23:32All right.
23:36All right.
23:38Tara, you are the most important person in this scenario.
23:42And Lynn.
23:43She's right here.
23:44But truly, how are you feeling about it?
23:47I really like the space.
23:49The views.
23:50Who doesn't love a rooftop bar?
23:52And I think that will be super unexpected for the guests, too.
23:58But with the rooftop, I mean, you could have snow.
24:01You could have rain.
24:02It is a big open space.
24:04It is.
24:05November.
24:06I know.
24:07It's a little risky.
24:08Yes.
24:10Given everything we've talked about, what do you think about this venue being your space?
24:20It is a yes.
24:21We have a venue.
24:23Yay.
24:24That is another big piece.
24:26Just put right in the puzzle.
24:28Yes.
24:29Ladies, well done.
24:31I'm excited.
24:32I'm just nervous about the weather.
24:35It needs to be a good sunny day.
24:45Oh, thank you.
24:46You're welcome.
24:49Hey, Chris.
24:50Hey, nice to see you.
24:51Hi.
24:52Good to see you again.
24:53Thanks for coming.
24:54He's been playing with some flowers that we've talked about doing.
24:57So I think he made a couple of mock-ups for us to take a look at.
25:01She definitely wants flowers.
25:03Lots and lots of flowers.
25:05Come on over.
25:06I'll show you the sample centerpiece I've got going on over here.
25:10This is so beautiful.
25:11It's so pretty.
25:12It's the white.
25:13It's the white.
25:14The white roses.
25:15Yeah.
25:16White roses are her favorite flower.
25:17So we just kind of ran with it.
25:19Yeah.
25:20And she loves baby breath.
25:21And I see that sprinkled in there.
25:23So she's definitely going to love that.
25:24I see eucalyptus, which I am partial to because I had that in my bouquet.
25:29So I think that's just beautiful.
25:31Something simple, kind of like plain, but has like lots of little details.
25:35Like that's very her.
25:37We decided for her bouquet that it would just be white roses.
25:40Oh my gosh.
25:41That's pretty.
25:43Oh.
25:43She'll definitely love that.
25:45Very simple, but classy and gorgeous.
25:48It's perfect.
25:50I know you guys wanted to do something special for your mom.
25:52So I arranged a crafting session with a lovely lady named Sarah.
25:56I'm very excited for you to meet her.
25:58And we're going to make your mom something special.
26:00Oh, that's exciting.
26:01Yes.
26:05Let me get these table settings out of the way for you.
26:10So that we can craft.
26:11Yes.
26:12Sarah is a flower preservation artist.
26:15I take flowers from people's most special moments.
26:20And I press them and I create frames so people can have them forever.
26:26That's so cute.
26:27I think she'll love that.
26:28Oh.
26:29I know.
26:30It's so sweet.
26:30So what we're going to do today is we're going to use flowers and the pictures I asked
26:34you guys to bring.
26:34You guys each brought one?
26:35Yep.
26:36I can't wait to see these pictures.
26:37And I brought one of me and my mom and my sister because two sisters and a mom.
26:42So I brought my sister and my mom.
26:43I'm excited to see them.
26:44Okay, ready?
26:45You guys, I'll show you my bed and then I want to see yours.
26:46Okay.
26:47This is from my bridal shower.
26:49You're the older sister?
26:50I am.
26:50Right?
26:51I love that picture so much.
26:52The picture I brought was this one of me and my mom.
26:56Oh.
26:57Oh, that's so sweet.
26:59She keeps me sane when I start worrying about what to do.
27:03I go to her for any kind of advice.
27:05I tell her anything and everything.
27:07We have a great relationship.
27:10Here's my picture.
27:11It's from one of my birthday parties, maybe six.
27:15I experienced growing up, I did not want to get into trouble.
27:18I did not want my mom to be mad at me whatsoever.
27:22Obviously, there are times where I made her disappointed and that just killed me because
27:27she is my best friend and that just makes me smile that she's in my life as that role.
27:33Look at these colors.
27:35Yeah.
27:39This is what it can look like.
27:44Okay.
27:45That's pretty.
27:46That's so beautiful.
27:48You can kind of just experiment with different flowers and different color combinations.
27:56I love that we're doing this for our moms.
27:58How are you guys feeling about where you're at so far with the plan for the wedding?
28:01We have a bunch of things checked off.
28:03How are you guys feeling about your speeches?
28:11Coming up.
28:12How are you feeling about the weather?
28:14I mean, our cocktail hour is on the rooftop.
28:19Yeah.
28:19Deep breaths.
28:20Deep breaths.
28:21Deep breaths.
28:27How are you guys feeling about your speeches?
28:31I would like to say good, but I just don't know.
28:35Like, I feel like it's fine.
28:38I know I can practice and I know I'll get through it.
28:43Well, maybe.
28:43I don't know.
28:44I don't know.
28:45It would mean a lot to my mom if I did make a speech, but I'm nervous that I will
28:51stutter
28:51a whole lot and I will not finish it and maybe I'll have to pass it on to my sister
28:57to finish.
28:59The bottom line is, everybody's rooting for you.
29:02That's just a lot of people to talk in front of.
29:08I just still feel like at the end of the day, I don't know if I can kind of do
29:13it.
29:37It's a big day.
29:39The one thing I did notice this morning
29:41when I got up was the weather.
29:43It is definitely gray.
29:45It's a little nerve-wracking to think
29:47that it might be raining while we're outside for an hour.
29:50Big day, big moment, big fingers crossed.
30:12How's my hair looking?
30:14You look cute.
30:15You look pretty.
30:16Hey, girl.
30:17Hi.
30:18Hi.
30:19Oh, my gosh.
30:20You're so gorgeous.
30:22Oh, my gosh.
30:23Wow.
30:24Wow.
30:25Hi.
30:26Hi.
30:28You look absolutely gorgeous.
30:31I'm not going to cry yet.
30:32How are you guys feeling?
30:33How are you doing?
30:35A little nervous.
30:36Yeah.
30:37Yeah.
30:37How are you feeling about the weather?
30:39I've checked it every day, and I want the guests
30:43to be comfortable.
30:44I mean, our cocktail hour is on the rooftop.
30:49Deep breaths.
30:50Deep breaths.
30:50Just worry about one foot in front of the other.
30:54How are you guys feeling about your speeches?
31:01Nervous.
31:02Nadia, have you decided if you're going to do one?
31:05We'll see.
31:15The girls have a little something for you that I am the messenger of.
31:19What do you mean?
31:20Uh-oh, Mom.
31:21The girls wanted to make a surprise for you.
31:23Okay.
31:23And we had a little crafting session.
31:27Oh, Nadia.
31:29Oh, Nadia.
31:30Do you remember this picture?
31:32I do.
31:33Nadia, that's so nice.
31:35Mom, I just wanted to say happy wedding day.
31:38Can you believe this is actually happening?
31:40I'm so happy for you, and you deserve all the love in the world.
31:44I hope you feel beautiful, special, and loved on your big day today.
31:47I hope this picture makes you happy and makes your heart smile.
31:50I love you so much, and thank you for being the best mom in the whole world.
31:53Nadia.
31:54Yeah.
31:55You're welcome.
31:56I'll grab that.
31:58All right.
31:58Here comes the best one.
31:59Damien, show her.
32:01Look at that short hair you used to have.
32:03I know.
32:04Oh.
32:06Mom, I'm so, so happy this day is finally here, and Nadia and I get to be your maids of
32:11honor.
32:11I hope this little surprise present makes you smile.
32:14I picked this picture because it's you just watching me and looking over me, and you still do that to
32:19this day.
32:20Anyway, I hope this day is magical and you feel nothing but joy.
32:23I love you forever.
32:25Signed, Deja.
32:26Thank you, Deja.
32:28I thought you were going to cry there for a minute.
32:30I'm holding them back.
32:32Even though we've had obstacles that we've had to overcome, we had definitely some trips and falls,
32:38but I always knew that girls wanted what was best for me.
32:41Okay, I will take these for now, put them in a safe space so that you ladies can continue to
32:47focus on the big day.
32:49Thank you for bringing them.
32:50Oh, you're welcome.
32:51I think they came out so beautifully.
32:52They did.
32:52They came out so good.
