00:00Can you kind of walk me through the proposal?
00:02Yeah, it was so he took me to San Ysidro Ranch,
00:05which is a very exclusive, quiet,
00:09probably the most romantic place I've been so far.
00:13And we were at dinner and he just,
00:17he went to the restroom and I did not,
00:18I was trying to put out a fire at home on my phone.
00:21And so he told me after the fact that he was like,
00:25when I was on the phone trying to help one of my kids,
00:27he was in his jacket, like trying to get the ring out.
00:30And then he did it without me saying it.
00:32And then he stuck it, he said he stuck it down here.
00:34And then he just, we were reminiscing about,
00:37cause it was our nine month anniversary.
00:38So we were reminiscing just about all the nine months
00:41and our love for each other.
00:43And then he was, he said something,
00:45I can't remember it all and it's so frustrating
00:47because it's like such a special moment,
00:49but he had like kind of had tears in his eyes
00:52and he's just like,
00:53that's why I just can't wait any longer.
00:55And he pulled it out.
00:56I'm like, oh my gosh, like if he's at a restaurant,
00:58you know, so, and there weren't very many people there.
01:01It was very exclusive, but yeah, it was, it was awesome.
01:05I just started bawling and, and yeah.
01:08So.
01:09That's great.
01:10I mean, you know, have you, I know it just happened.
01:12So you're probably not even in wedding plan mode yet,
01:15but do you want to have a long engagement, short engagement?
01:18Are you in wedding plan, planning mode?
01:21We actually are already planning.
01:23Actually visited one possible venue.
01:27It's really about locking the venue down.
01:29I'm assuming it'll probably be by next summer.
01:32It just depends on the venue,
01:34but we are doing a very unorthodox, unconventional wedding.
01:39We're not, I don't want to walk down another aisle,
01:41but my son did ask to give me to John,
01:44which I think is touching and it made me cry.
01:47So we're going to have to figure all of that out.
01:49And we're still working through some of the details,
01:51but once we find the venue,
01:53then it's full throttle.
01:54Cause I'll be able to figure out what dress.
01:55I don't want a typical wedding dress.
01:58Like I said, I don't want to walk down the aisle.
01:59So, you know, we'll,
02:00we'll start figuring out more details then.
02:03I love that.
02:04That's so wonderful.
02:05What was Jim's reaction?
02:06Does he have a nice relationship with John?
02:08Yeah.
02:09Well, John had been around a few times to family events,
02:11like James's graduation,
02:13another party that we threw for James.
02:15So they had been in the same vicinity and met before.
02:19A track meet, I think was one of them.
02:21And, you know,
02:22Jim did text me right after he found out
02:26and just said, congratulations.
02:28So.
