Let's hit it by 2023. Can we do it? I think we can Strong Now let's get right to this video first question as to why the title is the title that it is do we regret getting engaged? No, I don't I don't I personally don't I'm gonna be 25 this year. I'm 24 right now I've always had a goal to like have kids and I was 25, but I feel like we're out at the age Well, I'm ready for the next chapter in my life for kids. No, first time marriage marriage But I don't regret it I think we've been dating for a really long time that it really does isn't changing really yeah Yeah, yeah, and for my point of view I don't regret anything Okay, I don't regret spending any amount of money that I spent going out to Hawaii put in all the effort to get engaged because like honestly I felt like we were already engaged. I felt like we were already married basically I still feel married even though we're not so it's just it feels right I'm the happiest ever been and I've always been dreaming of someone getting down on one knee for me So it was definitely a really big shock and it's also shocking that you know, she found her Prince Charming Oh, often do you find a guy that you love and it's just stunning Okay, it's actually talk about the proposal I got a question that says right Do you have any idea like a clue or was he acting sus? Like did I feel anything before the actual proposal went down? Can I just say first thing? I'm a good liar. I have a lot of lying in my history He does a lot of lying good and bad Very bad But the thing is one thing that I took it away from it is I know how to lie for good reasons for now So to answer that question I Truthfully honestly thought we were going on this Hawaii trip as a brand trip I thought we were meeting up with the company a company was flying us down for free to stay at their Hotel and like promote their small business whatever he made it so believable that we were going on this brand trip Okay, I was really on your thinking that and then when I was there. I was also in my head I was like maybe he's gonna do it on here But I'm like I'm not gonna get my hopes up because you know bill's not gonna be able to plan something like that that quick We literally just found out like a month before we actually decided to go to Hawaii It's also because I've never really done anything like that to this extent and this magnitude so Mariah would have never thought oh I'm gonna plan something. Yeah, I thought you were gonna do it in Florida But what's crazy is the day that we were going to our fake photo shoot So there was a fake there was a photo shoot for the company that they wanted to post on their website That's what I was told and they told us to wear all white I was texting my twin sister that I'm like oh my god I feel like he's proposing but I'm not gonna get my hopes up But what if you post that this photo shoot and do we have those text messages? I do we should pop them up never be forehand seen text messages from the day of the proposal I'll get those right here. They're right here guys are right here and literally in the car I was gonna fill my hand and be like I feel like my boy pins were posing But I didn't want to have Bill see me and then get his hope like if he was didn't actually Yeah, I don't know I got super like yeah dang. Yeah, no way. She knows so yes I was like in my head suspicious, but the same time I kept telling myself no so in reality I was genuinely shocked when I saw it because I'm like whoa like I don't know how he did this But even any extent of suspicion she had no idea that we were out there because of me and not because we got an Opportunity to fly out there. So you had no idea. I had no idea even walking up I thought all of those people were from the brand and they were helping build like plan I thought the company was helping you set it up and then when you proceeded to tell me that all of it was fake I was so dumped on I feel like that's why I didn't like initially ball my eyes out because I was in Shock y'all. I was in shock. I didn't remember what we said until we saw the video and then I was like Oh, it makes so much sense, but it was perfect It was whether or not it was perfect And if you did not go see that video once you're done watching this video make sure to watch our proposal video because it's so beautiful It came together amazingly, and I'm in love with it. Just like I'm in love with you It was the best I feel like I've always dreamed of just being in Hawaii And I've always dreamed of getting married in Hawaii So the fact that I actually got a proposal in Hawaii was literally a dream come true Of you everyone has been asking this. What is the exact date of the wedding? Unfortunately, I don't want to give it away. Yes. Yes. We don't want to give it away But we will tell you that it is going to be in 2024 February February of 2024 so exactly 12 months around this time sometime this month We will be getting married and we should be going to like we might be filming a video for you guys of our venue to give you guys a little bit of a sneak peek so stay tuned for that stay tuned for that, but yes It's in February, and I don't want to say that we already have a date though. We've been kicking butt on this wedding Oh my god, I think a wedding dress shopping tomorrow. Well, you guys actually the day this is posted I'll be one dress shopping. So wish me luck today the day that you're watching this video She's gonna be wedding dress shopping So make sure to subscribe to our channel and if you are you're subscribed make sure to have all your Post notifications on because we are gonna be posting a behind the scenes of her picking out her dress And I am literally like I don't really want to watch that video. I feel like I shouldn't watch that video No, you should I promise you mom We have a whole video editor. I will not watch the next video that Mariah does it's going to be a wedding dress shopping Will the wedding be in Florida? Yes Florida and I could say It'll be in an amazing area in Florida and the venue is so beautiful It's got the plum trees that we want. It's got some water view. Oh my god It is such a dream I was searching through wedding venues for so long and I found this one. I'm like, oh my god In the fact that is right literally down the road basically. It's just insane. So more information to come Yes, so the next question is something huge that everybody wants to know. Okay, how much it was her Engagement ring now, let me just say it was not cheap And let me also just state the fact that I did not want to buy an expensive ring because I thought Mariah would have hated a Cheap ring which I know she would have loved whatever ring that I wanted because there's so many beautiful rings To sum it all up bill went all above and beyond for me I just wanted to show her how much I loved her and I could have done that with a cheaper ring I could have done that with a more expensive ring This is a cheap ring on the side of rings that you can't get there's million-dollar rings out there Crazy, but I will say it is between 10 to 40k Is that a good 10 to 40k? That's a good estimate. Yeah, I just I don't want to give the whole ring cuz it like money doesn't matter I really it's all about you know I love her and I wanted to show her how much I loved her and to me It just felt right because finding this ring. I just I kept going up in budget up in budget I wanted to make an awesome ring for her and I think I was Shocked yeah, because we were looking at rings like we were doing like the carrot and stuff I thought the carrot was gonna be way smaller than what you were gonna give me which I would have loved It is not about how much money or ring cost to show someone how much they love you But I just made me feel even more special that you went into it even more than what we talked about And it just I don't know I mean you feel so happy trust me I literally started with a much smaller ring and you know how like you know you see stuff And you just go up and up and I think every rings beautiful I see people every single day with bigger rings smaller rings same rings. It's just to me. They all look beautiful Fiancé's finger or life So the next question I also want to answer because this is like super super big Why didn't bill propose sooner? That is a big question first thing a lot of people say and they're wondering like Did Mariah push you to propose to Mariah? You know like twist your arm and make you propose. No, like I literally would been ready to propose for years So it's not that I wasn't ready to propose the fact that I just never really just like went out and started planning it Not because it wasn't the right time just because I never just like I didn't take the initiative go do it And it's not that I was sitting on it. I just like we there's so much going on in our life We were moving coming from Illinois to Florida We were doing so much stuff that like once we got settled down here Like it just felt like such a more perfect time to propose and I was supposed to propose sooner Yeah, I was supposed to propose on December 4th. We were supposed to go to Hawaii December 1st I was supposed to propose on the 4th, but we got super sick with the flu I had 103 degree fever Mariah had a 99 degree fever. It was bad. It was bad And honestly, I'm really glad we rescheduled that because if I would have known you were going to propose to me there I would have said heck no I'm not going to you were sick. We had to cancel the trip the whole trip And I had to do it all without her knowing that I cancelled it and it was me So I had to rebook everything twice I had to go back to my manager and try to get her to like, you know still believe that the company is able to fly us out But yeah, so the actual thing we flew down to promote December 9th instead of the 4th. Yeah, but it worked out either way I already had there's already so much going on in separate my birthday Christmas all the Christmas remember is January That's what I'm saying. I don't even know what I did in January of 2022 God had us in its path and I just feel like January was a month now. I remember forever now I love January. I don't hate January's cuz the start of the year and it's the end of the season Christmas and everything But like I love January now. Yeah, I love it. It just feels good. It feels nice, and it'll be always the month that I proposed it Yeah, exactly. It gives us a reason to live So I'm gonna answer like the generic question so everyone's asking what is our theme of the wedding or we're doing a first Look just like the generic questions. So the color scheme that we want to do is like pinks like whites White, gold, silver. So you see the theme of our house. Just add pink, greenery, and like pastel-y, yeah Not like that's the pink blush pink like I'm having all my bridesmaids in blush pink And I kind of want the groomsmen to be in a blush tie. Yeah, I think that would look so good Yeah, I think it would look good. Is our wedding gonna be at a church or at a venue inside or outside? Okay, it's gonna be at a beautiful venue, and it's gonna be outside It's not gonna be inside like the ceremony and the reception is gonna be outside. It's gonna be beautiful. Oh my god I cannot wait for you guys to see our wedding video and just our whole wedding. Oh my gosh And everyone's asking are we doing like the first look? So I know some people are like do your guys's first looks before the actual ceremony because then you get your pictures done But I personally feel like I've always dreamed of walking down the aisle having Bill seeing me for the first time like walking down The aisle. I don't know that just I feel like that's me I'm just picturing the video, and I know it's gonna be so emotional either way But like seeing the first look of her walking on the aisle like you for the first time I promise you looking back at this I'm telling you right now. I am going to be crying. I'm gonna be sobbing I'm literally gonna be tearing up so bad But it's gonna be so beautiful because like I just know that like just thinking about it like just after me filming The ring video and seeing how emotional I was because I didn't even know how emotional I was gonna be about this now. I know it's gonna be it's gonna be a very emotional walk down that aisle and Beautiful at the same time and everyone was asking like how big our wedding is gonna be so we do have all our family lives in Illinois So I don't really know how you are actually gonna be coming We're hoping it's gonna be semi big but at the same time like even if it is smaller We're okay with that because like and then it's intimate and like we have our close family and friends there But it's so gonna be like we have on our list like over 130 people Yeah, but like we know like not everyone's gonna be able to come down or some people are gonna be busy I know a lot of our family also like moved out to other states and like I don't know if they're gonna be able to come But like fingers crossed as many of them and as many friends and Relatives can come down. Yes. I'm excited and you're also gonna be seeing a lot of other couples that you know From YouTube and social media at our wedding as well. Yes, which we are so grateful for where are you going on your honeymoon? Do we tell them? Do we tell them? So we really wanted to go to the Maldives. Maldives, Maldives, Maldives But I'm not sure on that one yet because there's a lot that goes into it So let me say it would be a 35 hour travel day. Yeah, would be 35 hours or 30 So you can get the lowest it would be his travel time be like 28 hours But a lot of them's 30 so 30 plus hours of traveling Okay, just to get to the Maldives you take like four different planes Super long day and on top of that, let me tell you the trip to the Maldives will cost for us as much as we're paying for our wedding Because we live in Florida and it's a pain in the neck to get around some places to Florida and I'm telling you right now It's just not worth it Yeah, because like we would fly obviously in first class because like we're on our honeymoon We want to fly first class when I had the space the luxury we're happy But it is stupid ridiculous guys like I I don't even I can't see myself But even like getting past the the cost of the Maldives like I don't 30 something hours travel Maybe in the future. I definitely want to visit there one day Yeah, but like for at least right now like I think we're so comfortable with going I did find something actually what very similar that my older sister sent me and I have to show you Because it's a lot like the Maldives. I can't tell you I don't want to tell them yet But if you guys have any recommendations comment them down below because we're all up for recommendations and ideas and thoughts because like We don't we also do live like two hours from the Bahamas The Caribbean So that could be another like big thing that we can like look into because I know a lot of people like going there Then I know a lot of people don't like going there So like I don't know at the end of the day. We will let you know where we're going to go But either way it's going to be so special and oh my gosh. It's going to be beautiful All right, so we're gonna answer two more questions Okay, and the last question is going to be very juicy It's might might be the one that we asked in the beginning of this video So stay tuned but for this question everybody's asking Who is going to be standing up in your wedding and I know we did two videos on it Okay, with you know the one with her sister and then the one with like calling everyone So if you guys have not seen those videos go watch it because everyone's reactions were so you can literally see the reactions And it's beautiful, but um let's run through super quick. Who's going to be standing up on your side Okay, so I have Julia, which is my best friend Anna another one of my best friends My twin sister Megan my friend Esmeralda And then my older sister Ashley and then his two sisters Bri and Bri And then I have my junior bridesmaid, which is my little sister Cassie Trista and Alyssa Trista and Alyssa.
