00:00Every little girl, you know, dreams of a big wedding, but he lugged my dress around with a pair of
00:05scissors
00:05and every time we got to whatever we were doing, we'd try it on and cut here, cut there.
00:11I'm having the big white wedding.
00:16But I'm still wearing a wedding dress.
00:20We've known each other for about eight years.
00:22He was married once before.
00:24My mom and I actually held with the family in the funeral and I just went to check on him.
00:28That's when I discovered that his birthday was coming up.
00:32It was his 60th birthday.
00:34I decided to kind of surprise him and he said, well, I don't really have anyone else to go out
00:39to dinner for my birthday.
00:40Little by little, we would do these weekly dinners, completely platonic.
00:44And then after a while, I never had an issue with the age thing.
00:48It bothered him a little bit more.
00:50So he was a little slower to come around to that.
00:54And the COVID happened relatively early on into our relationship.
00:58So we kind of went from zero to 60.
01:02I always said I would probably never get married again.
01:04And after a couple of years dating and having fun, I kind of changed my mind.
01:08I didn't want a big wedding.
01:10It's just not something I really wanted to do.
01:12Every little girl dreams of a big wedding.
01:15But when you do end up waiting until later in life to get married, it changes how you feel about
01:20things.
01:21At the end of the day, I just wanted him.
01:22So it didn't matter what we did.
01:24When we were still kind of in hiding a little bit, he was doing a cross-country road trip.
01:30And he asked if I wanted to meet him out in Utah.
01:34Our entire wedding road trip was a recreation of that first trip that he and I took together.
01:41Kristen has always wanted to have a big wedding.
01:44So we kind of decided to just play maybe just a road trip and maybe just an adventure wedding.
01:49And then she started to search online.
01:51There was this one picture in particular.
01:53Bride was hanging down in a wedding dress and the groom was underneath.
01:56And I was like, that.
01:58I want to do that.
01:59It really fit both of what we wanted.
02:01I don't know what most people do on day one of their wedding.
02:04But, you know, we scaled it out.
02:06There were a couple of points where, you know, they'd tell us to kind of stop and let go and
02:11kiss.
02:11Or, you know, take some pictures.
02:12And he goes, let go?
02:14I was like, if we have a chance to have that iconic picture of me propelling and the wind catches
02:20the veil, I want to take it to extremes.
02:23And I did.
02:25And it was epic.
02:26He lugged my dress around with a pair of scissors.
02:28And every time we got the whatever harness we were doing, we tried it on and cut here and cut
02:33there.
02:33I've been trying to get him skydive this whole time.
02:36He's like, yeah, that's not happening.
02:38But I kept showing him these videos of jumping off a cliff.
02:40Yes, but you're, you know, harnessing it and all that.
02:42And he was like, yeah, that's something I'd probably do.
03:03It was just magical.
03:06It was amazing.
03:09It was so fun.
03:16When I got the drone footage, I was like, oh my gosh, it's perfect.
03:21It's exactly what I had in my mind.
03:23And it made plugging that dress around and cutting that dress up worth it.
03:28Two, one.
03:34Just live life to its fullest.
03:38Face it, I'm a lot older than she is.
03:40So I've got less years to spend with my wife.
03:44So I won't make the most of it.
03:45And I think everybody should, regardless of your age or what you do.
03:49I won't change a thing.
03:50No.
03:50It was so us.
03:53I won't change a thing.
03:53I won't change a thing.
03:54I won't change a thing.
03:54I won't change a thing.
03:54I won't change a thing.
03:54I won't change a thing.
03:54I won't change a thing.
03:54I won't change a thing.
