Hey, Chicks in the Office listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. You know that one sandwich you always crave? The one that just hits every single time? For me, it's a simple yet perfect combination. Boar's Head Oven Gold Turkey.

Sliced thin, piled high on fresh sourdough, with sharp cheddar, crisp lettuce, tomato, a little honey mustard, and just a touch of mayo. Simple, but the flavors? Unreal.

And that's the thing. When you start with quality ingredients, you don't need to do much. Boar's Head is my go-to because every bite tastes like it was made just for me. Premium cuts, incredible flavor, and that perfect balance of freshness. So next time you're at the deli, do yourself a favor. Ask for Boar's Head and build your ultimate sandwich. Trust me, you'll taste the difference. Head to your local Boar's Head Deli and experience the craftsmanship behind every bite.

Hey, it's John Gruden. If you know me, you know I love nerding out on stats, baby. And when it comes to impressive stats, I think Chevy Silverado is the undisputed champ. We're talking best in class, 430 pound feet of standard torque thanks to a Turbo Max engine. The most functional bed of any competitor.

including an available multi-flex tailgate and capability ready to take on any challenge. Think of it this way. If Silverado were a rookie quarterback hitting the combine, it would be game over. I mean, capability, versatility, and strength, that's MVP status. So head to Chevy.com and score huge with Silverado today. ♪♪♪

What's up everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Rianne Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Monday! Woo! Fuck yeah!

Oh my God, guys, I am battling a cold. Just that's one start warning before we get into it. I said you got a marital glow, honey. Oh, thank you. Honestly, that's... You're being nice by saying that because I haven't slept. No, I'm not. I feel it. I'm battling a cold because literally two days before the wedding, my whole family came down with something. And they battled. And they battled through it. Soldiers. You wouldn't even be able to tell, but my dad was like, I'm as sick as a dog. And I'm like, okay, if he had what I have now, I'd just have a little cold. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have one...

Like, it's like right under your eye. I just want you to know. I'm going to leave it. You know, like, you know, though, that it's not going to come off your skin. No. Like, you know when that happens. Yes, and it's stuck. Yeah. Honestly, it's giving you a little shine. You know what?

We're just gonna let it be, okay? We're letting it happen. I just wanted to let you know. Thank you. Thank you too much. I feel like if you saw it in the camera, you'd be like, nobody fucking told me I had that little sparkle under my eye. No, I'm keeping it. So everybody knows when you see I have a sparkle under my eye and I am keeping it. Oh my God, how we feeling? Amazing. How are you feeling? Amazing. You're a married woman. I am a married woman.

It's so good. You know, Thursday, like, I was rehearsals the other day and I'm like, what the fuck is going on with Dr. Siwa? Like, I, like, so that was on my brain, but we'll move past that. Only thing on my TikTok. You will talk about it on Wednesday. Without me, ugh. Yeah, sorry. Like, I'm so afraid of being replaced, but like, it is, you know what I mean? We're not gonna be replaced. I'm not gonna be replaced because like,

They can't. It's your own show. Like we're on the show together. Like I'm not going to be replaced. The only way to be replaced is if I was like, you're out. Yeah. No, you can't do that. No, I can't do that. You can't do that. I would also literally. We're equal parts of your show. No, it was both of our shows. Let me tell you, there's a, there's a girl on TikTok that got pushed out of her podcast. I don't know. Did you see that drama? No, I didn't. It was, I literally had never heard of the podcast. No offense. No offense.

Hot start. But I saw all the drama because the girls' videos were going mega viral of her being like, I have been pushed out of my podcast and she had to start a new podcast. And the original girl used all the same socials. And it's like, if I took chicks in the office and...

Just change the name. No, that's crazy. Chicks in the office saying, kept all the socials, but change it to my new podcast. No, that's not... And she kept it all, changed all the passwords, locked her out. Oh my God, that's insane. Crazy. No, we're both equal parts of the show. I love you. Here you go. Shake my hand. Okay. Cool. I won't be replaced. I'll be back in two weeks. You won't be replaced. Don't worry. Thank you very much. Your seat will be waiting for you when you come back. Thank you. And you're going to be...

bronzed European goddess. I can't wait. I can't wait. Yeah, so we'll begin the recap because we're going to start talking about a bunch of pop culture topics if we don't start. No, I know, I know.

Thursday night, we had teas, like pizza. So a couple years ago, Matt... Mark at Lucali, the owner of Lucali, he's a big Yankee fan. And he started following Matt because of the Yankees. And they got in touch. And we went to dinner there. And we were like, wow, it's a spot that people rave about. And then when we went to go...

see our wedding venue for the first time, we went to Lucali right after. And we were just like, wow, like this venue, Lucali right after, like this is all lining up. Like if we can make a little special intimate rehearsal dinner here happen, that would be fantastic. And

Shout out to Mark for letting us shut the place down and do it because it was incredible. The women that work there are fantastic. Amazing. Literally, they threw an amazing dinner. I mean, it's so like the vibe in there is just so old school. So cool. And the food is obviously delicious. And, you know, we kept it really intimate. We had a couple of our closest friends and then we had...

the people who were involved in the church so a lot of our family members who were involved in the church because we had the church rehearsal right before that and that was just like starting it off like we were looking around the room and we were like this is about to be such an incredible weekend like the start of this rehearsal dinner was just incredible and then um my sister and matt's brother both matron of honor and best man we didn't have a bridal party

They both are more on the shy side. Like my sister gets insane stage fright. So they did their speeches that night and they absolutely crushed it. Beautiful. And it was like so perfect in the setting that it was like so intimate. And then my mother-in-law rounded out the speeches at the end with a banger. She absolutely crushed it too. I think for those of you who don't know me, I'm Fran.

Rhea's friend. I'm here to say that Lucali was truly like the most iconic thing. I don't think people fully understand, especially if you're not from this area, how iconic that is. And I got so many questions from people in my life being like, how did Rhea and Marty do that? And honestly, I have been bragging so hard about it for you guys that they... I'm like, oh...

They're friends with Mark. They don't normally do that. If you want to have a party there, I don't think you can. I'm like, sorry. I know because people are like, oh my God, that's so cool. I'd love to do that. I'm like, I actually don't think you can. Yeah, I don't know. I actually don't think you can. But it's really like one of the most iconic New York parties

Like Jay-Z and Beyonce shut down that place. Like where they go, like they love to go to La Cali. Like that's the level was that word. That's why Joe and I were fucking freaking out because I was like, this is going to be so good. And not only was everyone in there amazing, like my, my,

my wine glass was full at all times. It never, no matter what, someone was there refilling it. It was amazing. The food was out of this world. I think by far the best pizza I've ever had. I think it ruined pizza for me. I'm not even kidding. I agree.

And New York style pizza is obviously amazing and there's so many great places. There's something different about it. But it just has a pop. That pizza sauce has a pop. You know, it's so good. And by the way, like they only serve pizza and calzones, but for the special customers, they throw in some pasta and meatballs. And, you know, so they added that on and it was, I mean, the pizza is out of, like, no wonder there's a line wrapped around every day. Like it is amazing.

So good. The first thing Joe said when we walked up to one of the girls was like, we're getting some off-menu items. Show us what you got off-menu. No, I was like, I really thought it was just the coolest thing ever. You took so many cool pictures and the photos from Lucali just looked so stunning. It was like so classic. And because...

you had the whole place, there were people who were, you know, trying to come up and see if it was open and be like, hello, honey. Fran's yelling at the door, no, you can't come in.

It was so cool. Oh my gosh. And it really was just, you guys got to make your own pizza. How was that? Yes. Oh my God. So fun. But also like so nerve wracking because the photographers and videographers were like shooting it. And I was like, you know, like you're trying to like pose for the camera and make the pizza, but the pizza turned out incredible. Like it was, it was so cool. I'm going to give a special shout out to the photographers and videographers, by the way, who were the most talented women on the planet. And the fact that they got these pictures and videos back to us,

In the middle of the night of our wedding, I'm starting to open up my phone at 3.30 in the morning. I have all the pictures from the wedding. I'm like, are you serious? Like unheard of. I mean, they are just so incredible. I'm so obsessed with Sarah. Shout out Sarah. Your wedding photographer. And Jodi Lee. Like they are, I've tagged them a bunch on Instagram, but they are just, oh my God. Like the coolest girls and the coolest shots. Like I just can't. No, Sarah was, I'm obsessed with Sarah. They perfectly capture everything.

Like what's going on? Like they're not making you pose. Like they're just like you do like, you know, you do you and like effortless. Like it's just, oh God, I fucking love them. They were incredible. But no, Luke Holly was so good. I want to. I have to send you all those videos of you making the pizza I have. And that was like my first intro to Sarah because I was just in her way. I was like, I'm so sorry. I'm totally in your way. Like you're trying to take your picture. And by the way, I had my phone out being like, look over here. Sarah should be a model.

She looks like such a supermodel that I didn't even want to ask her because I was like, I bet every wedding she does, people are like, oh my God, were you a model? Because that's how much of a model she looks like. I was like, there's no way. She is six foot something. Six foot two. Like beautiful. Her husband's 6'10". Oh my God. Oh my God. Do they have children? No, I don't think so. Oh, jeez.

genetic lottery. Those kids are going to be so tall. No, it's crazy. No, it was... She was... And like her whole outfit on for the wedding was so cool. It was sick. It was so cool. And she was very funny. Very. She kept chirping Joe, which really made me laugh. It was so good. She kept chirping my dad too. She was calling my dad Freaky Mike, which was actually incredible. She kept calling Joe short. I was dying. It's so funny. She had the best chirps. But...

No, it was... The rehearsal dinner really felt so special and intimate. And I was like, wow, this is really going to be something. Like, I knew that night that the wedding was going to be...

really something special and then can you talk about your rehearsal dinner look a little bit oh sure I would love to I got my outfit from Meshki it was gorgeous I ordered it back in October I thought it was something different but classic that I hadn't seen it fit it fit the I'm sorry I can be sneezing in the middle it was disgusting thank you um

It fit the venue perfectly. And I checked with you about a trillion times of what you thought about it. And you're like, perfect. Don't change it. And I didn't change it. I wanted to keep it classic. Haley, we did minimal makeup because I had not been wearing makeup for a while. I'm so glad you did that. It was so pretty. And I just kept it minimal because, you know, the next day was going to be like the ba-boom. And then Thursday night...

went back slept with my sister of course Matt and I didn't sleep together separate hotels actually and you know my sister was just laying in bed we were watching some Beat Bobby Flay we both passed out pretty instantly and then I woke up at 3.30 in the morning and I was like okay I'm up because I had opened my phone to a bunch of pictures from from Lugali I was like I can't go back to sleep now but I was up and

And, you know, I took a shower around 5, 5.30. Like, I was just ready to go. We got to... We got ready. I got married at Liberty Warehouse. And they have a beautiful bridal suite. So we got married... We got ready there in the morning. Fran, obviously there. I know I've mentioned a bunch. I don't have a bridal party because I have to keep reminding... Because people are like... Yeah. They're like, Fran wasn't... Fran was an honorary maid of honor. Yeah. Like, you don't understand. Like, you do not understand. Yeah, yeah. Like, you were on it. And we got ready...

in the morning there and just the vibes in the morning were just flowing. You know? Like, it was beautiful and honestly, it really was, that, that lucky penny worked because it was, I thought the weather, 65 in Partly Cotty. Yeah. I thought the weather was perfect because it really was 65 in Partly Cotty. Um,

even a little warmer. Yeah. Which was... Yeah, they threw on 10 degrees for you. Yeah, yeah. Because the cocktail outside there is just like with the skyline, the Statue of Liberty. It's just gorgeous. They have an indoor part, but the promenade is... No, but we... It was such a great setup for, you know, Haley and Nicole who was doing air and the team to like set up and everybody be in there, which was so nice because it was your... You still had the...

Most important ladies in your life. I did. There to have those moments. I had a Franny sandwich. Yes. Had my sister, my two sister-in-laws, my brother's wife and Matt's brother's wife. And of course, my mother-in-law and mom. Perfect. Yep. And it was scheduled out so well, too, I will say. And I know I'm sure you'll talk about your.

as well that helped, but it was so well-paced. There was no rushing, which was so nice for you, I feel like. I have to give AGI Norm a shout-out to Eventful Days, Kristen, Denise, Christine. What a team that they have. So when they first reached out, I was just doing day of coordination because I had already locked a bunch of vendors and whatnot, and

And Matt and I started talking to Kristen a bunch about just like, you know, little details and designs to really like make our personality shine through. And she just made the vision really come to life in ways that I couldn't even like, we would just back and forth, come up with, I'd come up with an idea. She would come up with an idea. I'd be like, yes, I love that. And we just had this back and forth teamwork that was absolutely incredible. And they are amazing day of, um,

Not a worry in the world. Like they just did everything with ease and they were on top of everything. So highly recommend if you're in New York and they do Florida eventful days, like they are quite the team. They scheduled that out all perfectly. Yeah. I was going to say, it was so nice. Like there was not one moment that anyone was being rushed around or you had to be pulled in different directions. I felt like that really was so helpful for you. Yeah.

They don't make it easy to buy concert tickets these days. You guys know it. I'm always talking about it. You gotta sign up for the pre-sale, get in the queue, and by the time you get through, the best seats are probably already gone.

GameTime makes getting tickets faster and easier. Prices on the app actually go down the closer it gets to showtime.

The room was so stunning, but well, I guess we can continue to go on chronological orders, but we get ready. We go to the church. Which ran would not peek in the room. I didn't peek. So I just need to say.

Fran did not want to know anything about how the wedding looked. She wanted to be surprised because she knew that Matt and I were really putting like a lot of the details of our own, like truly our vision. She was like, I just want to. Which I have a lot of questions about. We'll get to it too. She was like, I just want to see it myself. She sends me this dress. She shows it to me. And I'm like, yes, get that. And I didn't want to reveal too much. I was like, get that dress. It's perfect. You had already ordered it. I was like, that's the dress. She was like, I'm like, that's the dress.

The whole morning, I'm looking at you. I'm like, she has no idea how perfect this dress really is. On the way to the church, you're like, we're in the bus to the church. You're looking around.

And you're like, the cherry blossoms, like they're just in full bloom. They're just in full bloom, aren't they? Like it's beautiful. And I said, Rhea, look at these gorgeous cherry blossoms. I was like, you look, you look, the perfect timing. I said, this week is peak bloom. Yeah. And I said, it really is, Fran. It really is. Little did she know that I had cherry blossoms everywhere.

at the reception on cherry blossom trees on people's tables. But you, Matt, and you said this to me on Saturday, you were like, the way our brains are connected is something a little freaky. Like we are connected in a way that is amazing and magical, but also a little freaky at the same time.

- Yeah, I almost like, it almost, now I almost wanna keep like testing it. It's a weird thing that now I'm like, you know what, don't, and I didn't think about it either 'cause I really did want to see the room like it was fully done. 'Cause we were there early, so they were still putting it all together, and some of the girls were taking peeks and seeing things. I was like, I don't even wanna see it when it's like in the process. I wanna see the finished product and like walk out and,

and see it all together. And when I saw those cherry blossoms, when I saw those trees, I was like, oh my fucking God.

I cosplayed as a cherry blossom. I really couldn't believe it. And also we were laughing because you had said that Kelly loved my dress. Yes. Kelly knew about the cherry blossom. Yes. And she wanted your dress bad. And it was so funny because I was like, oh my God, that makes so much more sense now. But Kelly looked amazing.

- Oh my God. - Unbelievable. - Everybody really did. - Kelly's going viral on TikTok for how unbelievable she looked. You guys both look so fucking gorgeous. - Everybody really wore beautiful, beautiful outfits. - Very handsome in your tuxedo. - Thank you. - You did, you did. - Crushed it. No, I feel so honored that you all showed out. You were like, we are stepping out for this event.

Yeah. When we sat down in the pew at church, Kelly was so fucking excited. She's just like nervous energy. She's like giggling to herself. And Tommy came into her pew and he looked so handsome in his tux. I said, Tommy, you look so nice. You look so handsome. Kelly like almost fell over. She was like, friend, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. She was like, that was so nice. Everyone was feeling happy. I was like, look, gloves in the air. He's got that Fiji glow. Like he's...

He looks great. Tommy's looking handsome. Everybody in their tux looks so nice. They look great. I was so impressed with all of our coworkers who came dressed so well. I mean, I never doubted Fidelberg and Kevin, though. No, no, no. Classy in their tuxes. Everybody really, I thought, looked so nice. So good.

Okay, I know this sounds horrible right now because I'm on the plane, but I have to add in that my mom looked so fucking stunning. Like, absolutely jaw-dropping stunning. I'm looking back on the pictures and I just cannot get over it. Just absolutely stunning. And of course, my mother-in-law as well. Just two absolutely flawless mothers. It's insane. We get to the church, the ceremony, and...

I mean, obviously bias. I thought it was beautiful. The church was gorgeous because also, like you said, Easter. So they still have all their florals. And man, that pop of like pink and yellow and white.

so gorgeous. When you, I can't even really put into words how stunning you looked. And when you were fully dressed, I was like, Rhea, you may have to reconsider the first look thing. He may, Matt may pass out at the altar. So you may need to do, you may actually need to do this now. We're going to have to call 911. And, and,

I was so excited to watch him. You know, it's that cheesy 27 dresses. I like to look at the groom and the bride walks in. No, it's so true. But it really was where I was like, oh my God, he is going to freak out. And he really did. He really did. But you were so breathtaking. When Nicole was putting that veil on your head, I was like, I couldn't even describe. It was, the whole thing was this stunning moment.

Roman Catholic Dolce and Gabbana Italian princess goddess wedding. I felt if you took those pictures and said, oh no, these were actually in Vogue Italia and they were captured next to a 15th century castle in Tuscany.

I'd be like oh duh yeah of course it was of course it was it was oh my god and Matt like I knew he was gonna freak out when he saw you but it was it was so sweet it was his sweetest reaction like when I got up there the deep breaths he was taking before you came down the aisle he was like Nick kept like patting him on the back

No, he had the sweetest... I put the video up on my Instagram and TikTok, but you can see the tear just slowly fall. He had just the sweetest reaction, and he told me...

you know, and I have felt the same way. Like you're like, how am I going to react? Like when I, when we walked, when I walked down the aisle, when, or he's like, how am I gonna react when I see her? Like you think about it a lot, but you don't think about it in that moment because it just happens naturally. Like all of a sudden everything goes out your head and whatever you're feeling comes out. I looked, I had the biggest, like I was smiling from ear to ear. Like I was just like, my face hurt from smiling so much. And he just had the sweetest, like, Oh my God. Like,

like he was just stunned, which is exactly, but I had asked him what he thought my dress was going to look like before. And I never told him a detail. And he said, he sort of liked the squat like a little bit, but now he's like, I just don't want to say too much, you know, but he was like, Oh,

oh this is exactly what I envisioned doing like you know obviously but it just it was so sweet and his cousin is a priest he does not live in New York but the church allowed him to come and you know do it for us and he did a wonderful job and we did our own vows in the church which

people asked how I did that. We just asked and they said yes. Like they were like, you can do it on top of that. That is a fair question because I think people do kind of, and I, maybe certain churches have different rules. Yeah. Because people kind of assume that in a,

Church wedding you kind of have to stick to the to the formula stick to the script. Yeah So so I mean it's so nice that they it was really nice and I as my favorite moment for me is like was us reading our vows to each other because They were they felt like it really felt like we matched each other's energy perfectly Like I thought it was so personal. It was so us we were really speaking to each other I heard

No, I told Rhea outside. I was like, me and Tommy were tearing up. Like, me and Tommy looked at each other like, I think it was after yours, and we were like... No, Rhea, you didn't oversell it. Like, you were talking about it. Your vows were beautiful, as was Matt's. Joe said it too afterwards. He was like, I love when the vows...

like match each other and that some of the same things are mentioned and of course they don't know no we didn't tell each other a single thing you're not telling each other your vows before you're writing them on your own and it's such a beautiful moment when some of those same things are mentioned back and it feels like

It feels like more of those traditional type vows when you do both repeat the same things to each other and make those same promises. And when you write your own and have that unintentional

kind of same situation where you are mentioning the same things and making those promises it you guys both crushed it it was Marty's singing comment got an audible laugh out of me oh yeah I mean he got obviously he got audible audible laughs yeah he said like something like

how perfect I am and thank God, God didn't give me a good singing voice because then I would be too perfect. Which is, yeah. But he was like, you know, you never want to make a mean joke but he was like, that one felt like one you would laugh at very hard and I was like, yes, that was absolutely perfect and then it went into like,

just about how obsessed he is with me and how perfect I am and how I deserve a perfect man for me because of that so it was like a really just like flowed it did beautifully what were your thoughts um before you walked on the aisle I was just like oh my god I feel so normal like I sort of was shocked at how normal I felt because I kept thinking myself how am I gonna feel how was your dad

um I think my dad was good he was most focused on his speech at the all his all the man could think about was his speech but I will say um he we did a for I did a first look at my dad yeah and he obviously you know he was just so emotional and cried and I gave my mom and my dad both a gift um I had my mom join after and I bought I gave them um you know handkerchiefs with

written notes on it for me both personalized and it was so funny because a little before that my mom had said to me my mom always calls me peanut little peanut and she like looked at me she said you're always gonna be my little peanut right I said of course and in on my note I wrote I will always be a little peanut so she lost it and then on my dad's I wrote to him um just like you know

My dad, like, really, growing up, he took me to every... Like, at first, I went to all my sister and brother's events. Like, you know, sports, whatever. Like, I never really did anything until I started doing the acting and modeling, whatever. And my dad, like...

really supported me. He would drive to work at four in the morning to the city. He would work so hard to get home in time, like 12 o'clock to then get me and drive me back to the city. So he would drive back and forth to the city a million times like throughout the week. And we would sit in the car from like when I'm eight years old and just have these long conversations like my dad and I, where we could really talk about anything, whether we agreed or disagreed, we always could talk. And

I had wrote something about that in the note. And then my dad looked at me, he goes, I wrote the same exact thing in my speech. Like he was like, that was the most important thing to me was like our conversations, how we could really talk about anything, no matter what it is and never fight. Like we agree, disagree, whatever it is. Like we always can talk. And like, that is just so special. So he was like, it was, it's just like those moments where you said, like even the vows, like when you write,

When Matt and I were saying these things to each other, little things that only we would know and we both include it. I'm like, this is so special. There were so many things in Matt's vows that I was so taken aback. My face, I'm just like... He's just the absolute sweetest person in the world. With my parents too, like...

My dad was just so nervous about a speech. And I was like, you don't have to be nervous about this speech. And he crushed it. He like everyone was like, I said, I got choked up at that speech, too. Yeah, he did such a phenomenal job. But he I think he was excited to walk down the aisle. And even afterwards, he looked at Matt and I, he said, those vows were the most personal thing I've ever heard. He was like, that was really special. Like I I've

I'm just so happy I witnessed that. Like it was, it was really special. And then actually right after, so, you know, we walked down, walked after we got married, walked down the aisle, we went to the back of the church to let everyone out. Matt had showed me a surprise in his, um,

He had printed a card I wrote him when he was my boyfriend. And it was a really special card. And I wrote like, and one day my husband. And he got that printed inside of his tux jacket, which was really, really special that he had saved. He was obviously very excited about that. He did show. I saw that before.

He was incredibly excited. He got that printed. He got a couple other things like the date and the initials inside the jacket and the shirt, which was so beautiful. And to see that like right after like when we were alone was really amazing. Like he just he's just so thoughtful. He is. And I truly mean that like we make each other better and make each other more thoughtful about our friends and family. And like I've never been closer with my friends and family than I am now. And I truly think

I've always been close to my friends and family, but it just feels different now. Yeah, it's different. Because he is such a friends and family person that it just makes it even better. So the ceremony, I just thought was... It was beautiful. It was beautiful. I felt like, oh my God, I feel so normal. You know that feeling? I was like, what the heck? I thought I was going to be freaking out. I just felt like, oh my God, this is amazing. You got to talk about...

uh, Bob almost going rogue on the, Oh my God. So I, obviously we know no, no. Cause I talked about no, no, but we have Baba who is my dad's dad and Baba, um, was doing the prayer of the faithful. And he had asked me a couple of days before, can I do my own prayer of the faithful? I said, Baba, I don't know. It's one of those things where we, you just do it and ask for forgiveness after. Cause I don't know, but he asked, uh, father Pat, the priest, if he could do it the night before. And father Pat looked over and said, yeah, that's, that's good. You can do that.

Baba gets up there. He looks over. He goes, Matt, me and my sister, me and my sister squeeze each other's hand. We said, oh my God, where is he going with this? But he said something very nice like, welcome to the family. We love you. And then he went into the prayer of the fifth. I saw Father Pat's face. I saw his soul leave his body. Where is this guy going? I said, if anything, we just say Baba senile. He's 87 years old. He just came out. I don't know what happened. Because we were joking about him just going rogue. And when I looked at Father Pat,

I was like, oh, he looked so nervous that we were going off script. I thought what he said was amazing, but when he turned, like when he got up there and turned to you, you know what it reminded me of? When like Nicki Minaj turned to Miley Cyrus at that award show. Oh my God. Because he also did kind of move in. It was slow when there was a pause. So he got up there and turned and went, Matt?

And I think the whole church was like, uh-oh. What's he about to say right now? What is he about to say? No, it was so sweet. It was, you know, welcome to the family. And then he sort of said something to you. Yeah, it was. And then he got to the bread of the faithful. But it was like, it was. The best feeling after is after the ceremony. When you're like, we did it.

The most important part. And when I actually got down the aisle with my dad, Father Pat looked at us both. He said, the scariest part's over. Now it's good. I said, you're so right. What I was worried about most was walking down the aisle. You did not trip? No, I didn't trip. It was good. And no, the ceremony was just...

I will, I will just every night for the past since then, I've just fell asleep thinking about our vows. Like I was like, that was just so special. And then I came down the aisle and his little Luca got pushed down in a car and he clapped at the end of the aisle. I saw the clap was the cutest thing I've ever seen. He got down in the end. He went and was like, Oh, great job. Great job. Absolutely adorable. Just, just the best. And, uh, my, I loved having my sister next to me and like just squeezing her hand the whole time. And like my,

My sister and I have the same sense of humor where we can like, like look at each other and like make like a small little, you know what I'm saying? And like, just to be able to have that and feel so comfortable up there was so important. And oh God, I mean, the ceremony was just everything that we could have dreamed of it more. And then it was party time. And that was just, I mean, I was so ready. I was so ready. The only thing we love as much as you guys, a delicious cocktail.

And no one serves up real delicious drinks like Rum Haven. Rum Haven is made with real coconut water and no artificial flavors or preservatives for a clean and refreshing taste. You can't beat the taste of real coconut water. It's delicious, clean, and refreshing.

You can enjoy Rum Haven straight over ice with a splash of club soda or in your favorite juice. I love a rum punch with some Rum Haven. We've made some great cocktails with it. Pour your favorite juice. I like to do Rum Haven in orange juice and pineapple juice. Delicious. So good. So refreshing. Oh, it's just...

It's the best. So you can head to rumhaven.com slash chicks in the office to learn more. Make sure you guys are drinking your rum haven. Once again, you're going to rumhaven.com slash chicks in the office to learn more. Cocktail hour. Beautiful on the promenade. Beautiful weather. Food. Fantastic at Liberty Warehouse. I mean, the food is insane. The food is insane.

They showed, so we didn't see what it looked like. Our planners showed us at 745, cocktail hour 7, 745, they brought us into the room. I was like, this is a wonderland. Like, this is a fairy tale wonderland. It was crazy.

I just can't wait for our guests to see this. You guys transformed the room. It's such a beautiful way. Because the venue is so cool. Because you really, it's a really blank slate. It is. You can do whatever you want. Do what you want. Because I was talking to my mom because she has been to a wedding there before. And she was sending me pictures of the wedding. She went and she was like, oh my God, it's so crazy. I wouldn't have ever known. Like it looks so different. I'm like, yeah, because you can really. You can do whatever you want. Do what you want. I also, and I know this is just like a logistical thing, but.

For those that are getting married or have children,

been married and maybe this was a part of your day and it's such a different way to sometimes there's people do things in different ways there was some time in between which I thought was so nice for you guys because you went back and had time at the venue and like take your pictures have those moments because I want to say when I got when we got there and the cocktail was starting um

I had Gia brought her a physical gift and I was like, I'm gonna just give it to me and put it upstairs because I don't want this to get lost in the mix.

When I came up to the Brow Suite, it was just you and Matt in there having a snack, chatting. And I was like, oh my God, this is so nice that you guys got that in-between time. It was amazing. No, it was just to be able to talk. Because you want to catch up about the day. You're like, oh my God, I have so much to tell you. Because we didn't talk the morning of. So it was just like, oh my God, we have so much to tell each other. And...

No, I mean, seeing like our... I just felt like our personalities really like shine through. I mean, we had so many... I'm probably not even going to touch. I'm probably going to forget a lot of what I wanted to say on this episode because there was so many details that we put into this. But, you know, I originally talked about how we were going to like keep it. And I was like, no, we have to color into this. Like we are...

colorful personalities. Like, we got the color to this. Disco balls. We love to dance. I was like, I want disco balls in this shit. Like, the cherry blossoms. Like, where did the inspiration come from? Like, what was your process? Because it was, I felt like it was so unique and you. Thank you. So, the color scheme is,

I really love a peach color. I just really do. It always stands out to me. It's a beautiful tone. And I was like, well, why don't we start doing peach and pink and spring? Because I was like, you know what? This really is the start of spring. We should really – and then I was like, what if we – I started seeing pictures of like trees at Liberty Warehouse, like trees on tables. And I had brought that up to our florist and he was like, it's actually going to be peak cherry blossom time. Would you want to do cherry blossoms? I said, yes, we want to do cherry blossoms. Yes. Yes.

And then I had seen people do those mirror tables. And Matt and I knew we wanted disco balls above the dance floor. And I was like, wait a second. If we do the mirror tables closest to the dance floor with the disco balls, it will all reflect off each other beautifully. Like they will all go together. So things just started to come together. The escort table said meet us under the disco walls. We had wrote. Really cool escort table. It was a wall by the way. Yeah, it was cool. We had written a handwritten note.

That they put onto everyone's card. Like signed from Matt and I. That was. I thought that was just like a sweet idea. Just to set the tone. For the night. Like we are so happy that everyone took the time to come. People traveled. Like thank you for being here. Like let's have.

See you on the dance floor. And let me tell you, there wasn't one person that wasn't on that dance floor. No, there really wasn't. That dance floor was packed. Packed. The whole night. DJ Nezza, crushed. Crushed. Absolutely crushed. Had a violinist at the Cox's Hour. DJ for you guys. Yes. Did you always know you were going to go DJ? Yeah, we're DJ people. You know, I...

I can't help it. Yeah. You know, it is what it is. I'm a DJ person. And we had a violinist at the cocktail hour, which I thought was a nice touch to have like a little live music that way. He was really cool. At one point he played the, I don't know this, I don't know the name of the song, but it's literally always all over social media. I know what you're talking about. The one that's the do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Like the, is it Golden Hour? You're my good enough.

I thought I knew what you were talking about until you started humming it. I actually have no idea. You're my golden hour. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually have no idea. Anyway, it was beautiful at the moment because it was like towards the end of the cocktail, everyone's going aside and he played it. And I was like, oh, baby. He did so good. And then DJ crushed it. So like I said, Nick and Nicole, they did their speeches. So it was just my dad making a speech. But Matt and I got up there to do a little –

Speech beforehand very quick because it was this week. It's my parents 35th wedding anniversary on April 29th and Matt's parents 40th wedding anniversary on May 5th. So all close together and also my nono and my grandma who sadly passed away nono still alive. They're

anniversary was yesterday. So it was just all very special. So we just wanted to, we just obviously want to thank our families, you know, for being so incredible and helping us and just being the best. Like I, I couldn't be,

more grateful for the family I am now welcome into and also my own family. They are the perfect blend together. The best mother-in-law and father-in-law and my parents as well and my sister and my brother and I can't wait. I'm about to have another nephew and also Matt's brother and my sister-in-law Kate.

is the best yeah it's just the best and then you know i'm naming everyone in my family but i have to my sister and my brother-in-law they had the time of their fucking lives let me tell you they sure did let me tell you i'll get to that but i mom and dad's night out mom and dad's night out i heard that real i was getting pictures of my sister in the shower with two of my friends at three in the morning i was like what the hell happened when i left like what is going on um nobody it was amazing and then oh i um

I forgot. I don't even know if you saw this. Also have to shout out Kelly Keegs sent beautiful Tiffany champagne flutes with butterflies on them to Matt and I the day before with a vintage bottle of Dom Perignon that I was like... Class act, that Kelly Keegs. And I knew exactly what we used it for because Matt and I had surprised our parents with two cakes for their 35th and it said happy 35th anniversary, happy 40th anniversary. And when we did...

We had them cut their own cakes so that they could relive that moment, which was really sweet. And we had the champagne with them. But for our cake, we didn't do a wedding cake. We had a little one at the top, but...

Every holiday, my uncle gets these – they're Sicilian pastries, cartoccis they're called. They're basically like a fried donut cannoli situation. And the bakery that he goes to, it's in Brooklyn, and we went there and asked him if they could make it look like a cake.

And they loved the idea. And oh my God, they crushed it. They put it together. The way people were coming up to us about these. That's the best thing I've ever had. You looked at me in the face and said, what the fuck was that? No, literally. You were like, why have I never had that in my life? I was like, I know. That was blown away. No, I know. They're so. It was so good. They're so good. But I went to go change into my.

second dress which I haven't really posted and I love it but it just you know my first dress was like a dreamy first dress moment my second dress is was really like cool comfortable second dress is gorgeous but that was like a comfort move yeah I changed like after 10 o'clock like whatever and um

A couple weeks ago, so I'm trying to give the proper background story of this. So Hardy, who is a fantastic performer, entertainer, country singer, rock. So he has a lot of country music, but he also has a lot of rock. And everyone knows I'm not, you know, I'm no country fanatic. And Hardy knows that too. We've had discussions about that. But he knows, I've told him a million times how much I love rock music. And...

I love... There's one of his songs sold out. I love it. It's like, he just headbangs. And a couple weeks ago, I was listening to it, and I started crying. And it's like a headbanger, okay? No, it's certainly not a song you cry to. No, it's not crying to. At one point, it's middle fingers in the air. Yeah, he's in middle fingers in the air. You're not like... A tear does not slowly fall down your face. No, I just cry because I cried some weird shit. But I just...

the the words in the song where he's like i'm still gonna be me i never thought my last name would be this big like i'm still always gonna be me i'm still from mississippi no matter how big i get like i'm this is sentiment i don't know i cry weird whatever matt had tech and um matt and hardy have been friends for years yeah like

And he is just the nicest, sweetest guy. He's so sweet. He really is so sweet. They just had a beautiful daughter. Like, you know, they are really so sweet. And we had gone to their wedding, I think, over two years ago now. Yeah, yeah. And they're just so sweet. And they have been friends for years. And Matt texted him being like, you won't believe it. I just caught Rhea crying to sold out. And Hardy wrote back, that's fucking insane but amazing. And...

Matt surprised me. Hardy got up there and fucking rocked out and sang his heart out to sold out. And I just went nuts. Like it was me, you know, him going, everyone put your middle fingers in the air and seeing my mother-in-law's middle finger. Everyone did up in there. No, I see Fran. Fran's like double burning it up in the air. No, it was,

actually insane my sister comes over she goes my whole hair fell out my whole hair fell I was head banging so hard my whole hair fell out I was actually insane and so so I'm so because he came as a guest yeah and I felt bad like I was like and Matt said the same thing he was like I felt bad right when I asked him he was like right because you're like you're off the clock you're off the clock yeah but he was like

he he's so sweet he's so sweet he i think he was like i would love to you know matt had told me about it after he's like i would love to do that like yeah whatever and and everyone loved it was actually in sanity i was like this is absurd and you know so special i loved it and i i talked about this recently i was one of the rock bands i got up there and i was like i'm i'm rocking out right now um

I mean, I'm losing my train of thought because there's so much I want to touch on. But... No, I will say the Hardy thing was also so cool because...

It was such a mix of like, obviously there's some people who are like, what, what is happening? And seeing people's reactions, it was so fun. And there's also people who fucking love him. But everybody just like bought, like everybody went so hard for it. They did. It was so good. And it was amazing. And he like sounded so good. He sounded so good. Which is so crazy. It's like, I was laughing because...

Joe was like, we just hearty to scream out. Some songs. He rocked out. He fully goes. And he put it all into that one too. It was awesome. It was amazing. I didn't talk about our first dance. We did When I Look at You by Miley Cyrus. Obviously, we both love Miley. So it was just very fitting. So underrated, honestly. We did do...

We did do one alone before anybody got there when they showed us. We did one without a crowd. Yeah. To the same song or to the same song? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which was really special. And then we did it again. Yeah. And...

It was just like when he lifted me up. No, you nailed it. Perfect part of the song. Yeah. I was just about to get out. I wish you could like... I'm actually start crying right now because I'm like thinking about I'm like under the disco ball. No, it was amazing. I was having an out of body experience at that moment. I almost wanted to like... I was taking a video. I didn't want to ruin the video because it's a beautiful moment. So I'm trying not to sing to ruin the video. But I was like...

I'm fully lip syncing as much as I could. I was like, this is amazing. One, I could hear Kelly and Gia. We were all at different tables, but I was like, I could see. And funny enough, funny enough, Haley does our makeup, who's lovely, and one of our great friends now was sitting at the table and she was with her husband.

The way the first note played and her husband went, oh, fuck yeah, I love this song. And then he sang every word. That's so good. It was, I was, oh my God, I was cracking up. It was so good. It was the perfect choice. And it's such a good choice for you guys too because I feel like people don't know that one of, one of...

Matt's maybe bigger moments early on to being hired here I think was that everyone was like he was like no I listen to six songs like on repeat like I don't like that's it and one of them was the climb yeah he's like and one of them is the climb like one of them is the climb and it's like it's always I always joke because I'm like no well Matt's

The Climbs biggest fan. Yeah, no, he loves Miley. And it's like, you love Miley. And I was like, this is such an amazing choice. I had so many DMs. People would be like, wow, I never thought about this for a first hand song. And it's genius. It was so good. I mean, the moment that we picked it,

we were listening to it in florida because we were showing his mom and we just started crying at the table she said yeah this is it she said don't even think about it you guys just both started crying listening yeah yeah this is the song but no the reception that nobody left to dance for it the music was incredible the thing let me tell you i can't repeat some of the stories and things that were happening at this wedding yeah but some of the shit that i was hearing that happened first of all i'm honored i'm honored

that crazy shit was happening all over the place, like in the best way, like hilarious. People were fucked up and it was amazing. I mean, it's,

Gia kept saying I couldn't she was like out of breath she was like I can't leave the dance floor every song one after another is just so good like she's just locked in no it was so good I looked over at Noah and Tommy I mean they were having I mean Noah was dancing so hard he put like scuff marks on the dance floor do you know Noah carved his initials into the dance floor yeah we have a picture of it Noah carved N-I into the dance floor with his shoe

There's an N-I on the dance floor. He started pulling these moves out that I've never seen before. It's all a blur. It was like Fast and Furious. He left tire marks on the dance floor. It was insane. When Leah was like, oh, remember when we were rapping, not like us, word for word to each other? I was like, kind of. Yeah, you're like, no. Not really. I remember it. You're like, no, I actually don't really remember that. No, I mean...

Yeah, because we had an after party too. And we had Olive Oil, who's, if you're in New Jersey, you know Olive Oil. And they were at the start of our relationship. They were always at the bars. And so we thought it'd be cool to have them DJ the after party. And we had LMB, Spumoni Gardens, pizza for the after party. We had cigar rolls for the after party. We had fire pits outside. People were just smoking cigars, eating pizza, drinking.

ass up in the air on the dance floor some people were at the after party i was dancing between people's legs my sister spent majority of the night under kelly king's dress like that's you know what i mean like she's popping in and out she was wearing one of those dresses that you do want to just like i mean they had the time of like it was just watching everyone just have such an amazing time i mean we we like i couldn't stop so i was like oh my god look at everyone having such a good time like jumping i was out of breath like i literally i'm like i

And like honestly I love that Matt and I We stayed together the whole time Like Yeah They're actually Looking back The only moment That we weren't together Was when I went to go change And like show it Like that was it But we stayed like Dancing the whole time Like oh my god It was just Ugh The food was amazing The prosciutto melon ball sacks Were unbelievable Of course Just out of this world And It was That was such a delicious plate We were all blown away

eating the meal at the table everyone was raving about. Lobster ravioli is fucking fantastic. - That's really good. - It was like, and that sauce, it was so good. And then you were telling me get the fish. I said, I told everyone to get the fish. We were all eating it. So good. - I'm so glad. - Raving, oh my God. I could have eaten like three of those plates. - I'm so glad. - Not a crumb was left on my plate. - I'm so happy. - Not a crumb was left. It was so delicious.

Joe was at the bar when they were coming around and taking her order and I was like I'll have the sea bass I said he will also have the sea bass he's having the fucking sea bass and I was like he will also have the sea bass because normally we split skis yeah of course and I was like no no no I think we're both going to need to have this fish and when he came back I was like I ordered you the fish and he was like oh yeah no trust Rhea said order the fish so we're eating the fish and she said okay absolutely got it

It was, I mean, just literally. We do have to give a shout out to Aunt Debbie. She was a star. I was just about to get into that. And I think my dad gets a little worried, his sister, Aunt Debbie. He gets a little worried. He's like, is Aunt Debbie bothering? When Matt was calling Hardy up to sing.

There is a video of Aunt Debbie with her hand on his chest and her arm around his back like she is his mother. Hardy's. Yeah. Like Hardy's mother. And she's like going like this. And let me tell you, here's the thing. They were talking to her in the cocktail hour like so much. She tells...

She tells everyone they're her number one. So when everyone finds each other and goes, Aunt Deb said I was her number one, everyone's like, she told me I was her number one. And everyone's like, Aunt Deb is lying to everybody. But I did say Aunt Debbie.

I actually really love that you make all of my friends feel so special in my family. Oh, it's the sweetest. I'm like, the fact that people always say to me, like, they feel so welcome into the family. And she remembers everybody and knows everybody's name. We had a nice dance on the dance floor. I don't know if you saw that. I did. She took photo booth pictures with everybody. I saw you and Tommy dancing with everybody in my family. Like, it was just, no, it was. If you didn't get a picture of the photo booth with Aunt Deb, you did not fully experience the wedding. Can I just say, I got the photo booth.

All of them. Yeah. And Debbie's in every picture. She's in a lot of them. There's a picture of Aunt Debbie and Joe. Yep. That I'm actually, I might just frame myself because it is so good. And I, and I have to say, and I told you this the other night, but like, I just like love you and Joe as a married couple so much. I mean, the way that you guys just like treat me, like, I feel like Joe is my brother-in-law too. You know what I mean? Like, I just truly feel that way. And like, I just, he does fit in. It was just, it's just so funny. Like they, yeah, it's amazing. I mean, I,

I just feel so lucky that we have experienced these moments together so close in proximity because there's nothing more special than it. And I said, like, who is so lucky to have such an amazing working relationship but also such an amazing friendship that we have and, like, our family? Like, it's just so incredible, all of it. Like, I feel so lucky. It was just insane. I mean, literally couldn't ask for anything better. Like, the wedding, like, we were like, this is the best –

It's going to be the best year. Wait, no, this actually was the best day of our lives. It actually was the best day of our lives. I texted you yesterday. I was like, so now what? I go, we're both married. So like now what? No, but I was like, I was like, now we fucking crush it. We have two great support systems at home and we can flourish in other ways in life. And yeah, they're good guys. They are. We got some great guys. My wedding band. Have to talk about my wedding band. Okay. Okay.

Talk us through the design process. I think it's so sick. I think people are going to take it to their jeweler and be like, I want this. Your jeweler should make it and call it the wedding band. The wedding band is so sick. So I knew I wanted a thicker band. Like what do they call them? A cigar band? Yeah. I wanted a thicker band. And I had seen a cigar band that had sparkle on it. Like kind of. Yeah. Like whatever. And I started thinking, what if I...

Can we do where we put the diamond? And I try to explain to them. Good old gold in Massapequa on Long Island. Matt went and got my engagement ring there. And so he is very familiar with the diamond process now. He knows more than I do. And so when I was explaining my vision to him, he was like, listen, I trust your brain. We're going to make this happen for you. So...

We went there and I kind of explained to them and they mocked up a model. I had found like sort of inspiration picks online, but like nothing like that. I didn't find anything exactly that looks like this. I couldn't find. But like little things that we could put together. And they mocked it up and they had sent me so many model types to try on before I can like really say final. And...

It's just, I mean, I'm obsessed with it. I wanted something modern and vintage. And I mean, shout out to my husband, obviously. But it's just like...

Like I'm looking at I'm sorry I was talking and then I just got distracted looking at it because I'm like No I was going to ask you about it too because I wanted you to talk about it. No it's It's really you too like it's just like funky and cool and I feel like you can wear it with your engagement ring without your engagement ring. It's a statement piece which is cool because I think I mean no matter what

path you go down with your wedding man it's symbolic and it means something and and some people want to go more traditional you want some people go a little different more funky I just feel like this is so perfect for you that you'll like wear that forever and it'll just always be and um classic no it's amazing and my aunt my mom's sister my aunt Jean had always worked at a jeweler and she was heavily involved in the process as well and she

like she knows you know what i mean and she crushed it like she she just it was yeah i mean i'm sorry i'm sorry it's just so no it is and you'll you it you'll be doing that for a long time no it's it's where you literally just look at your hand you're like damn it is really just so cool i gotta get some proper pictures of it because i mean i know it deserves like a full because it's almost it i didn't it needs like a 360 moment no it does they have to like take a video to get like the whole thing the jeweler does have um

And they will post it because it is really so sick. I do have to say something very funny about Dave because I know people are wondering. So Dave was invited to the weddings. And he had mentioned on a pizza review that he was invited. He was very thankful to be invited. And he... Clarify that you were under the impression that he was not coming. No, because Matt had asked him...

about a month or so ago in the office i was in the office he was he was there and he had asked him and he said he was like all my schedule like i don't know probably not but i'm not sure so we took it as like he probably won't be coming so it's about two hours before we're about to get married and i open up my phone and i see a text from dave portnoy to me and matt

And the text is very, very nice. He's like, I want to... I'm not going to read everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's like, I want to thank you guys for the invite to the wedding. I really do appreciate it. I'm not going to make it. My schedule is a disaster. But kudos to you guys. You guys were right. You're getting married. You're getting married. Congrats again. It was a really nice message. And I thought to myself, how...

How nice like two hours before we're about to get married. Yeah, we get this text from Dave and you told you showed it to me and I laughed because I looked you know, I was like We were like, oh, yeah, I mean we kind of was kind of gonna make it boss Yeah, I mean he had told Matt probably not so yeah. Yeah. Yeah the next day we are at we went to Red Hook Tavern the next day for lunch which we'll talk about after that because honestly like I can't rave enough about the food choices you made all weekend it food was superb all around. Yeah, I

I open up my phone to another text from Dave. He writes, holy shit. Yesterday was your wedding. I almost passed out when I saw that on Instagram. I thought you guys were getting married end of the summer. Me saying I'm not coming the day of your wedding is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I can't believe I actually did that. He's like, I feel like a dick. Like he's like, he like literally he.

He's like, holy shit. I RSVP'd no on their wedding day. How insane. I thought that there was a, the universe made Dave text us on the day of our wedding. Literally on the day of your wedding. It's so funny that he had no idea he was texting you. It was the day of the wedding that he texted us on to be like, congrats. Thank you. I'm not going to be able to make it. He was like, I hope you didn't save me a seat.

And I literally, I was crying laughing. I was like, that is, he thought he was ahead of the game. No, he, he, he wrote back. He goes, I thought I was giving you months. No. And I was like, it was actually so funny. He was like, enjoy your honeymoon. It was, it was very nice. But I literally, I was like, I wrote back. I was like, I am cracking up right now. Like totally, totally fine. Like,

Like there were some extra spots Just because Whatever I was like But we assumed you weren't coming Because you had said Probably not Yeah So whatever But I was like This is the most Dave thing to happen It's actually perfect I was like The text I said The text on the wedding day Was actually perfect And Matt wrote

the nothing like a nice adrenaline rush from you right before I'm about to get married like seeing your name pop up on my phone right before I'm about to get married like it was literally the most Dave thing of all time it was actually so so funny but um

Yeah, we went to Red Hawk Tavern. No, Day of. We just kept laughing. Me telling you I'm not coming to your wedding, the day of is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's actually so funny. So funny. Because he's a class act in that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, he's not going to be like, you know, because he, I mean, the amount of times he's talking about people leaving dinners early. Totally. About the manners and that stuff. So like, you know, but, you know, we went to Red Hawk Tavern the next day for lunch.

So Noah got the call up at 12. So lunch was at 12.30. Very, very into it. I kept it super, super small. My sister, obviously. Down for the count. Down for the count. Not making it to the lunch. I was also down for the count for a while. I woke up at 6 a.m. being like, oh, God. Yeah, yeah. Gave Noah the call up. I said...

Listen, we got some extra spots. No, he's like, I'd be honored. He gets there, doesn't need a damn thing. He's like, I can't. I was struggling a little bit. No, I don't blame you, but I'm honored that you showed up. I did take a bite and then I took the burger home and I texted Marty last night like, oh my God, this is the greatest thing ever. No, you made it within 30 minutes. Also, when you texted me, I knew it was going to be like the closest people to you.

I still like for some reason my mind thought like oh it'll be like a bunch of tables kind of just like chilling when I walked in and it was just like one table yeah and like Marty's parents and I was like oh oh yeah you were like oh yeah wow this is and what did I bring you and Noah brought me a bag of Doritos he sure did he sure did very classy perfect he sure did which was unintentionally very funny because obviously Matt's family

family like doesn't fully know that joke. Can we get explained? So it was like, they were like, oh, one back for all of us. That right there is a joke. They were very confused. But guys, I got to get to my honeymoon. I'm not going to lie. I got to get to the airport. No, I wanted to just say like, by the way, it was just the coolest thing ever. My friends were raving. They were like, oh my God, like,

iconic Brooklyn everything she did food wise out of this world and the menu at Reddick Tavern was incredible. No incredible. This upstairs room that I did not know that they had the room was gorgeous. They don't show it to people. The owner

Shout out to Glenn, Glennie Balls. Let me tell you, this was another thing that I was like, people were like, oh my God, you can do that? I was like, I don't think just anybody can. I felt like a celebrity walking up to you. I don't think just anybody can. No, and it's just, I had mentioned in, did I say this in the beginning? I mentioned in my vows that like,

Matt has such an infectious personality that like when people meet him one time, they want to talk to him over and over again. Like they just want to be his best friend. So like he gets all these connections because people just like gravitate to him. Like, and so we were able to like get all these cool spots, like, you know, yeah, Kylie this I'm like,

Because of course Everyone just wants You know But it was so funny I mean yeah I don't think they give that room Out so Room was unbelievable Yeah I saved the menu Just so I can like Go back And look At like what we ate Because it was so good That burger was insane No seeing Insane Okay first of all Two people Seeing Patrick Schwarzenegger Comment on Matt's post Who by By the way I've never mentioned like

Matt and him talk often. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is funny because that's another like during the White Lotus I didn't want to mention that at all but like it is that's what I mean like people just they meet him and they just want to keep talking to him. And then we saw Dylan Efron commented beautiful. Yeah. He sure did. We did. We did see that and you know we are a pop culture podcast and we do have to take note of that. No, no 100%. You know what I mean? No, sometimes you just get like a DM after the post wedding DM is just like

is peak because you get people who are just coming out of the woodwork and you're like oh my god I can't believe this person just congratulated me at my wedding no it's crazy I mean unbelievable I'm sure I'm missing a lot of things I hope I was able to you know talk about everybody I wanted to talk about yeah I love you so much oh I mean literally stop the most special yeah the most beautiful I mean yeah the dress absolutely gorgeous you don't have to talk about me at all no but I do like I just feel so lucky I really do I think we are both so lucky

I can't stop fucking texting you. Yesterday I literally was with you at lunch and then went home and was still texting you because I was by myself and I was like, I'm probably being so annoying now that I'm just nonstop texting you and talking about it and I keep showing, you keep sending me pictures and I keep going, I'm like, oh my god, Joe.

And I look at this, and I look at this one, and he's at the point now where he's like, she looks beautiful. Like, I understand. He's like, I get it. I don't need to see anymore. He's also like, you know how guys are. They're like, no, I was there. I saw her in person. She looked stunning. Like, I was there, you know? But I'm like, oh, look at this one. No, it's so good. I'm like, oh my God. So first of all, the pictures are just out of this world. I'm so excited for you two. I was really trying to like put my words together when I was posting on Instagram, and I still feel like you can say so much on Instagram.

this platform more than you can, the written word. And I don't want to be too overly sappy and write a fucking essay on Instagram, but watching you from 19 to now and meeting Matt and everything you guys have been through and the love and care that you have for each other and have always had for each other that's never wavered. You guys have never

never, there's never been one doubt that that wasn't like what you guys were going to do and getting to watch you guys get married and everybody was so happy and it was, it was so beautiful and he loves you so much. I love him so much. It's really, it's, it's, I couldn't ask and it's a testament to Matt, but I, you, you couldn't get a better, uh,

person to marry your best friend. You know, like all you want is for somebody to take care of you and love you and...

I know he'll do that forever. And it was both of you just out of this world. Really, really incredible. I'm so excited to watch you guys grow and now be married. Couple strips forever. No, we will. That is actually so sweet. And you know I feel the same way about you two. I was texting you the other night and I was like, I just love you and Joe so much. I love your guys' relationship. I love watching you. You were like, you know,

Like I said, Joe feels like a brother-in-law to me. Like, I just, I feel so, so lucky. And we both feel that way about you, too, and he says it all the time. It's like, I do feel like she's, you know, my little sister because we have gotten to watch. And it's, you know, I'm not that much older than you. No, no. But, like, I have gotten to watch you grow up and, like, flourish and really Matt has helped me.

You've done so much on your own, but Matt has really helped you become the best version of yourself. I agree with that. I do. It was so amazing and really like...

I also want to like double down and thank your parents again. They were the best. They're so sweet. I love them so much. Your whole family. No, I really just need to thank my parents. And Matt's family is incredible too. They really just, I mean, they're the best. They will do anything for anybody and for us. And they always show that. So, I mean, just a huge thank you to them. And I think everybody in this room had absolutely a ton of fun. I loved watching all of you, everyone at work. Oh my God, I loved seeing everyone.

No, it was amazing. Nobody really, like, seeing, like, everybody. I'm like, oh, my God, this is amazing. I'm, like, watching Trent dance. I'm like, yeah, fuck yeah, Trent. Do I see Trent after with a cigar in his mouth? He goes, Maria, that Chilean sea bass? Fucking fantastic. And I was like, yes, Trent. No, I absolutely loved it. No, I mean, I feel so lucky that I...

Matt as the person that he is because he really is the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful person in the entire world. And people don't even know the half of it. And I know...

We can come across annoying. Like, I, like, you know, people always think like, oh, these two, they love each other. I'm like, no, but that is like our relationship to its core. And I really, truly feel that way. And he really just treats me with like the most, like I can't even put into words. That's just how it's always been for you two too. You know, it's, yeah. And you know, we have,

My parents' relationship was like that. His parents' relationship was like that. We obviously want to follow in their footsteps. I mean, your parents are amazing. I laugh and I make fun of them all the time to be like, they can't go to the grocery store without each other. No, they can't. That's the relationship. And it's great because that's what you've had to look up to and seeing...

You find that is so awesome. No, it really is. It really is. I feel so lucky. I'm so excited. I'm so happy. I can't wait to go on the honeymoon. I mean, let me tell you something.
