 What is good, momma squad, and welcome back to our channel. We are finally back to our filming schedule. Pranks, challenges, everything. Wait, you talking about pranks already? I have some line up on my- You wanna start that back up, honey? Your wife's not here. And I'm the wife that's gonna be dominating the husband. Technically, wait, have we not had a prank yet on a husband and wife? No. Dude. Who's gonna be the first one? Me. No. Just get ready, just get ready. Marble Squad, DM me on Instagram. Or hit me up on Snapchat. And privately, so we can see something. Oh yeah, if you hit us up on Snapchat, it'll really be private, cause we don't have our Snapchat linked to each other. I know. But today, we are doing a life update. I feel like the last few videos have just been wedding, wedding, wedding. And we just wanna sit down and have a conversation. I feel like you guys have a lot of questions and a lot of things about the wedding. Our new home, kids, so many questions. So we're gonna answer it for you guys. Give you guys a little life update, cause I feel like we haven't chatted with you guys in a long time. We're gonna be giving you behind the scenes of everything that's been going on, behind the cameras, off camera, between the wedding and everything. We should honestly even tell them some wedding mishaps that we heard after the fact. So stay tuned because in the middle throughout this video, somewhere we are gonna be mentioning the catastrophical events that occurred during our wedding that luckily played out in our favor because of one person and one person only. But you're gonna have to keep watching in order to see that. Well, I think I do, but... You know what it is. You can start it and then I can... Okay. So I feel like a lot of the questions were asking me about kids, which I'm not answering that first. Yeah, that's gonna be, I'm gonna wait a little bit, get you guys to round it up. So no, that's the biggest question. But also, another big thing is the house stuff. But first I wanna talk about the wedding. Let's get the wedding questions out of the way. Someone asked, was there any drama at the wedding? Ooh, we're kind of starting off with a little wedding. Was there a drama? No, there wasn't really drama. Wait, I thought there was. There's some drama about the wedding, but we can't talk about it. No, we can't. We can't talk about it. Just keeping some people... No, hold on, hold on. How do we explain this to them? I can explain it without actually explaining it. So there was people that were upset about a certain situation because they weren't. Okay, okay. I don't think we should say too much. You wanna say too much? No, because honestly, at the end of the day, I feel like it was over exaggerated and some people didn't take something in a certain way that we didn't mean it at all. If you guys don't know this, we actually are in People's Magazine and that was a really cool thing that we had that did come out of the wedding because we got featured in People's Magazine. Which was insane. But let me just say there were some things about that triggered some things to just having to be talked out and stuff. It was like a lot of behind the scenes stuff during a honeymoon that we were talking with a lot of people and trying to get some people to understand like our side of things and like, I don't know, I feel like people were mad at us for some reason and like, it's all over with now. We all love each other. It's fine now, it's fine now, but it was... In the moment of this specific thing, I know it's so big. I know you guys just don't confuse, but we can't really talk about it. And we have no, we had no say so in this either. Like we got told to do something and then we had no control. I feel like we always try like helping people out and like doing stuff. That's like the thing with me and Bill is our hearts are so big and we never intentionally not... No, and the fact that like some certain thing, people were like... Which I guess they don't know us, but like at the end of the day... Or A someone was like, annoyed at us because they thought it was our fault. You know what I mean? But in reality, it wasn't. We're just not... We're just don't want the drama to hurt you. So we're trying to keep that up. But don't ask anymore about that because like I am just solely respecting people that were a part of our wedding. That we love so much and did such an amazing job. It's just after the fact that like, definitely thinking got crossed and you know, I think a lot of our exaggeration. Other than that, no. There was really no drama. Everyone was happy. I'm not even kidding. Everyone to this day still says that was probably one of the best weddings they've been to. And it was, it's honestly the best feeling ever that the wedding honestly went really smoothly. There really weren't any errors. The only errors were song mess ups, which that's not even a big thing. And then our first dance because my dress was so big and I, it was very hard to dance in. And we couldn't even bustle it all the way because we had to hurry and get out there. There was so much, there was so much. But no, everything was perfect. And I was the thing, a lot of people are asking too like, was there any like mishaps? Yes and no, not really. Honestly, everything was perfect in my eyes, right? I think everything was amazing and it couldn't have gone any better. The weather, the whole day, the events, everyone. Most of, I'd say 99.9 of everything was exactly how we planned it. But that was not all of the stuff that happened during the wedding, which we will be talking about towards the middle of the wedding. No, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know what it is. But you- You know what it is. No, I don't. It's from you. No, I don't. Oh my God, okay. I don't know it. Also another big question, and I know we answered this in one of our other videos, but everyone wants to know the cost of our wedding. And as much as I would love to share that with you guys and break down, because I know a lot of people want to talk about break down their expenses of the wedding. I think of the day, me and Bill are just not very flashy people. We like to keep that stuff to ourselves. And it's not that we're being selfish or that we don't wanna share it with you guys. It's just a simple fact that, I feel like money is just very touchy. And I just, we just wanna, I don't know. I don't know, in the midst of like, we just spent a lot on our wedding and our wedding is not like the typical wedding and that's okay. We definitely wanted to go above and beyond. Thankfully, like financially, we are able to be in a position where we're blessed enough to get almost everything we could have ever dreamt for to be a part of our wedding. And we just, we know for ourselves, this wedding was everything that we've ever wanted. And the fact that it turned out exactly how we pictured it was worth every penny. It was not cheap at all. I know one of our past videos we've mentioned, it was definitely over $50,000. It was definitely way over that. I just, I was giving you a rough estimate because I looked up in the average wedding is about 40, 50K. So that's what I was saying. Ours was definitely way above the average wedding, which is still insane to me that 50,000 is the average wedding. I feel like my parents' wedding was 20,000. That's crazy. And they had everything. And they had like 200 people. Like they had so many things going on. Yeah. Okay, so the next question you guys really want to know about, and we're actually really excited to share with you guys. This is a big one. It's about our new house. Okay. So as you know, we do own a house right now. This house that we are living in, we do own it. A lot of people are like, do you rent it? Like what are you doing? We own this house. So we bought this house back in 2021 in May. We actually closed on it the day before my birthday. Yeah. I thought we closed on the 25th. My birthday is May 27th. Maybe, I don't remember what day it was. But anyways. But we closed on it either the day before or two days before my birthday. I really think it was maybe the 25th, but maybe 26th. Either way, that's when we bought the house. We were so blessed. We did the house tour, the empty house tour. We filmed it for you guys. And you can see the whole process of how the house has changed and got to the state that it's at right now. We had nothing. The house was completely P yellow. Yeah, it was ugly. Brown was tile, square, yellow floor. All the light fixtures were bulbs and all of the door handles were like brass and brown and the fans were brown. We didn't even have this counter. The counter was a double counter. Yeah, it was ugly. Like the breakfast bar with yellow particle board countertop. Yeah. And that's fine, that's fine. But like for what we were looking for and like we filmed and stuff. Oh my gosh, house didn't have one accent wall. It was a beautiful home, but it needed some renovation. Okay, you just went on a full rampage. As you can tell I'm passionate about the things that have changed in our house to make it the marble house that it is today. So when we first moved to here, like, oh my gosh, we want to build. We want to build so bad, but we needed to get into a home ASAP because we were living at Bill's parents' house that was down here. We did think about building the first one. Yeah, we did. Yeah, which would have been dumb, but. So we stayed here for three years and then we were looking on Zillow and I said after the wedding, we want to move into our next home. We want to be moved in. And we were looking months and months and months and months. Just going at it on Zillow. And it was hurting our eyes and our brains. We couldn't find anything. I was just at a point where I was like, oh my God, like all these houses that we want, like yes, we could move into a house and remodel the whole thing, yes. But I just feel like we're spending all this money on this house and then we're going to spend even more money remodeling this house. And then we want to, this next home, we want it to be our home that we're going to be in for a very, very, very, very, very long time. And so our realtor was like, you know what, why don't you guys just build? Let's just get you a lot, buy a lot, which we bought a lot, which is absolutely stunning. This is another video, if you have not seen, make sure to put that on your watch list for after this one. Yeah, I think it's probably bought, landed, blown out. We show you actually the property a little bit as well. It's like a huge corner lot, half an acre, beautiful neighborhood. Stunning right by the water. Oh my God, it's so gorgeous. And we decided to build because we wanted just to have everything that we wanted in a home, not have to worry about, you know, spending all this money, blah, blah, blah. So we found a builder and we are starting our building process. Actually, we're going to be really getting into it in two days. And we haven't mentioned to them either that we picked out a house, right? Yeah, we picked out a house. We've mentioned it on Snapchat. So if you guys don't follow us on Snapchat, that is where we post all of our behind scenes. That's like our day-to-day vlog. Mine is Mariah Cove. Actually, my Snapchat name will be changing to Mariah Ritter. But as of right now, it's Mariah with two H's and then CoV and then yours is what? It's Bill Ritter with two R's at the end of Bill Ritter. And we posted that we picked a plan and we are super excited because this brings me to the next question about our house, which is what is your house going to look like or give me a little sneak peek of what we should expect in the Marvel house coming 2025, hopefully? Yeah, he said, what's your goal? And we said summer and he's like, that's doable. So we're hoping for some time in 2025 our house gets complete. I'm hoping I'm praying. I don't care when it gets finished in 2025, I just care. I hope it gets finished next year. So really quick, the main things, because there's a million things we can explain about the house, but just to give you all a rough estimate of what it's going to be like, it is going to be a 3,400 square foot monster home with a three car garage, two stories. Two stories. Four bedrooms, an office. So it's like five. And a bonus room, which we're going to turn into like a game room with a pool table, maybe stuff like that. It has to be like our kids like hangout session too. Top balcony. We have a balcony. Pool with a sun shelf and a hot tub because we don't have one of those here. And that's what we've always wanted. We have a heater for our pool, which is like hot tub. We'll utilize a hot tub more than a heated pool. Yeah, yeah, 100%. Just because a hot tub is just dip in about, you know, in the sun shelf you can lay out in tan. It's going to have a cage on the back of it. Which I'll be in my pool a lot more than I am here. Cause it's like, I don't know. I'm like not feeling this pool if the bugs get in a lot. Cause our cage. Well it's because the cage is not there. Yeah, I miss our pool cage. And on top of that, the living room, the kitchen, the dining area is all one huge open lay out in the front entry way. You'll just see this huge 12 foot ceiling. Chandeliers. Hopefully a big chandelier by the door. We have like, we want like wood flooring, which is actually crazy that we're saying that. Cause I feel like we're very bright, which wood is very bright. It's a very light, light, light wood color. It's very modern. This house is going to be. Oh my God. Insane. And on top of that for like everything that I just explained the house, like it's actually not terribly priced because we're building it. Like if we were buying this already finished, it would be probably double as expensive. So the fact that we're building it and we're putting the time and effort into waiting and building and putting in the months, a month of preparation and waiting, it's actually going to save us a lot of money in the future. So in the future, which I don't ever want to sell the home, it'll be worth way more than what we built. Which to be honest, I feel like this is going to be a house I just want to stay at probably for a very long time. I don't know. I used to be where I'm like, oh I want this like massive house. Which it is massive. It is massive. For Florida, like 30, 400 square feet. It's big. No, it's giant. Chicago, where we used to live for 300 grand, you can get a 5,000 square foot home. 5,000 square foot. Like that's the difference. The building costs in Florida is so much also because our house, just for all of the windows, all the windows are basically going to be bulletproof. It's going to be a fortress house. And the houses in Florida, I don't know if y'all know also, they're made out of concrete block and hurricane proof windows that can withstand impacts up to 300 miles an hour. Guys, it's crazy. I am just, this house is so dreamy. That's what makes it expensive. Make sure you guys follow us on Snapchat because you guys will be a part of the whole building process. We're also going to take you guys on here through the whole building process. Yeah, and we will post pictures on our Instagram as well as the process comes along. So make sure to follow us on Instagram as well. And the most of all, holy grail, we are going to be taking YouTube video updates and showing y'all the process of the house being built in the skeleton phase. That's what I call it when it's just wood and cinder block, nothing inside, through it's being finished. So, yeah. Oh my God, I'm so excited. We can talk all day about this. But it's going to be insane. It's going to be where we're going to raise our kids and that's where I'm getting into the next topic that every single one of you guys, I am not kidding. I'm so excited for. Well, cause it was the wedding stuff. And now that we've been married and there's nothing else ahead of us, but the next week I'll see you about kids. You guys are wondering when are we going to have kids and am I pregnant, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So I will say this, a lot of you guys were coming for me, not coming for me in a negative way. Like you guys were all just like commenting. In our engagement, our rehearsal day, right before the day for the wedding, I was wearing a white dress and I was kind of bloated that day. Now a lot of you guys thought I looked pregnant. No, I'm not pregnant. I am not pregnant yet. To be honest, we're just not ready yet, which is okay. We want to wait until our new home is built. It could happen sooner. I'm not stopping it. I'm not saying, oh, we're not having kids until 2025. I just think we want to enjoy our marriage and like we want kids so bad but at the same time we don't want kids so bad because we've only been married for a month and we want to experience life and traveling still together. Now if anything happens, like we're gonna be above me on. Oh yeah. His static, we love kids. We love kids so bad. I'm a kid guy, like I love, every time my cousins are over or every time I'm around a little baby, like I just like love playing and hanging out with kids because I just have that natural like dad instinct, I guess you can call it. And to me, it doesn't even feel like a job. It feels fun. I know when we have our own child, it's gonna feel crazy. Others can be a thousand emotions but we are not saying no but we definitely want to live. I think I'm just really content right now. Like I'm really happy with my three cats. I don't know, those are just my children right now and like, I don't know, I want to get into our new home. Not that this house would be bad to raise kids in. I just, I don't know, I want to wait. This house would be perfect to this. No, 100%. But. It's actually gonna be sad that I'm not gonna have our kids in this home. I know, but we're not, we're gonna be keeping this up for a few weeks. Yeah, I know, but our kids will probably never live in this home. I know. We move back here. Which, wow. Unless an accident, not an accident happens but we get pregnant before we move out. Yeah, that too. But. Where things fall through and something happens. Yeah, as of right now, we are not fully like ready yet. I think we're just so focused on building this new home. Like this new home is gonna be where we raise our kids and I just want it to be perfect. And I'm honestly scared of pregnancy too. I don't know. I'm just a little scared. I know I'm gonna kill it and I'm gonna do really good but I'm just also nervous for that. You're gonna do good. You're gonna do awesome. This is just like one of those things that you can't really ever prepare for. Yeah, I know. But you're gonna, your natural mom instincts are gonna come out. You're gonna start cooking me dinners every night. I'm gonna start laying on the couch, drinking booze and watching the football game. Ew, no he's not. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, kidding. But we're gonna, our natural instincts are gonna come out and I feel like we're gonna do a bomb job. And also when I wanna be, when I get pregnant, I wanna, in our new home, we're gonna get a gym and I want that at home gym. And here we don't have room for that at home gym. Not that I wouldn't go to the actual gym when I'm pregnant but like I think I'd feel more comfortable being at home working out. If we had a shed to put all of our stuff in, we would have room for that at home gym. Yeah, we're just waiting for this. But I also like that all of our stuff's in the garage because it just seems more secure. Our next home is gonna have triple the amount of storage. Oh my gosh. So like, we're gonna have storage, like since we have two storage underneath the stairs, there's gonna be a huge closet kind of thing underneath the stairs that we can utilize for storage. There's attic space that I could tap into and I'm not really gonna mention it to the builders but after they're done building the house, actually I might mention it because there's a good spot in the attic where we can fit a lot of stuff on the two storage section. So like, we're gonna have a lot of stuff we might even build an extra shed in the back because that's the main thing in Florida. Like you don't really have a lot of storage. Well, oh, we forgot to mention, the lot is two times the size of our current lot. That's huge. The lot, the land. So just the dirt area that you own. It's doubly size. And we look out to our balcony and we'll see the water. Oh my God. What's crazy though is that house is meant to be built on a lot this size. That is crazy. So the fact that it's gonna be on a double lot, we're gonna have so much space for our kids to run around and for us to put in a pickleball court in the future. Oh, we want that so, I want that so bad. We're not gonna do that yet, probably. No, not yet. But if that, you know. That'll be our next house. We're first doing the house. Let's get the house done and out the way. Yeah. Before we answer the last question of this video, I had mentioned in the beginning that we had some things behind the scenes go wrong at our wedding. Well, some of those included a vendor. Oh yeah, vendor backed up. Didn't even show up. We were planning on doing the permanent bracelets, permanent inklets and stuff. We were gonna calculate it at the end to see how many people actually did it. Didn't even show up. So I don't know what happened with that. On top of that, one of our vendors forgot an accident to bring any tablecloths. So literally a half hour before our reception in our wedding, we had no tablecloths. Well, we didn't know that. We didn't know that. We didn't know that. And we were just gonna be eating on the wooden foldable tables. So our wedding planner kick butt went to like four or five different stores, found tablecloths and brought them to the venue. Otherwise, we would have been screwed. We would have been absolutely done for it. Yeah, that would have been really bad. For sure they came last minute and yeah. Taylor is the G. Taylor literally made everything so perfect. Literally, like those two things, like it was insane because our reception was almost gonna be a disaster. And we would have had to like, I don't even know what we would have done if we didn't find tablecloths. I just wish we could talk to you guys all day long. I know. We have so much to talk about and so many things to go over. There's so much going on and like we can go show into detail. And I know we went a little much into detail about certain things because we wanna keep some things on the DL. Honestly, a lot of these questions are just about our wedding, the house, and kids. And I guess we could finish it off. How does it feel being married and is there, does life feel great? Yeah, that's a great way to end it. Y'all had a lot of amazing questions. So I'm actually in the works of changing my last name. Oh yeah, we should be getting her social security card any day now. And I'm gonna go in and change my license, like credit card stuff. By the time that you're watching this, probably we'll have all the information and we'll already be changing everything over. But literally we are so close to being- The Ritters. The Ritters. Which I already am officially, but like I feel official when it's on my license and on my social security card and on all my other stuff. Yeah, no, 100%. I do feel different being husband and wife. Like I know we've been together for seven years now. I feel like the title of it just makes me feel closer. That's a huge question. Everybody's been asking me, I'm a whole family. Cause I just went to Chicago and their only question was, so how is it like being a husband? How is marriage treating ya? How do you feel? Cause every friend, everyone has been asking that question and I'm sure all of y'all asked the same thing. Let me just tell you, it feels amazing because it feels like secure. It also feels like a dream because it's something that Mariah and I have literally talked about since we've started dating. Just like I'm sure a lot of you converse with your significant other about oh, one day we're gonna get married. Or we're here, we're literally married, we have the ring and on top of that we feel like connected more. It's not that we didn't before, we do. And it feels the same. It's just, I don't know that title, it's just I love husband and wife. It feels the same, but until you start saying oh, my wife wants to eat steak or hey, my husband wants a Coca-Cola at like restaurants and stuff, that's when you start being like oh my gosh, that's when I realized it on our honeymoon when I said yeah, my wife will have the, and I'm like holy crap, I have to stop. But all in all, we appreciate all of your questions and I hope we were able to touch on all or most of the topics that y'all have been wondering throughout this whole process. I know we haven't really had a one-on-one or two-on-one. Two-on-four million subscribers. Two-on-four million. We just hit four million. Yeah, we even got to do a video. Oh my gosh. I know every time, dude, every time we hit a milestone, it's either we are not by each other or we're sleeping. We hit it while I was in Chicago. The day that I left, when we were apart from each other. Like be so for real. I'm gonna make a post. I totally forgot. We're gonna make a post on YouTube, on our community posts about any formula. If you did not see that, make sure to go comment down below that you saw or heard it from this video and I will be there to help. We love you guys so much. You guys are literally our world and more. Like I am just so grateful for the life we have, the life we get to share with you guys. It is the best feeling ever. So thank y'all so much for watching this video. We love you and we will see you in the next one. But until then, peace, love you guys.
