So, Kirsten, the clock was ticking until you
had to walk down the aisle.
And your mom was nowhere in sight.
Let's watch that back.
Kirsten, did your mom call you back?
I don't know.
I don't know what she's doing.
This is my day.
Like, I need at least one of my parents to be here.
- Yeah. - You know?
AUTOMATED MESSAGE: The person you're calling cannot
accept calls at this time.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Yeah, so.
We need an explanation, lady.
I just want her to answer the phone.
The best way to get my blood boiling.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
That is going to get your blood boiling.
Right. Blood is boiling.
I got a couple questions.
First of all, has this happened before?
I mean, my mom, she's not on time for anything.
But wait, were you worried at any point?
Like did something happen to my mom?
Did--
I was just hoping that she was OK in that moment.
But at the same time, I'm like, I don't want to get myself so
stressed out and so worked up-- - Understood.
--because I'm about to get married.
Understood.
And so like, I know my mom is on this journey with me.
And she's going to show up.
Like, those are all the thoughts that I'm
thinking at that moment. I mean--
What happened?
Did she say where she'd been?
No, she was like-- she had been
at the hotel the entire time. - Oh.
Yeah.
I was like, I don't--
I don't need this to happen right now.
She should probably get here.
But she made it.
I was like, one of my parents better be here.
Right.
Kirsten, your dad didn't come because of a COVID test.
Yeah.
So he's made it through a whole pandemic
without taking a COVID test?
Mhm.
He's very strong-minded, strong-willed.
He's a business owner, been in business
for like 30-plus years. - OK.
Yeah, made it through.
So how did it make you feel?
Or were you not surprised that your dad was like,
no, I'm not taking COVID test.
I was not surprised at all that he's
not taking a COVID test.
I'm like, that's my dad.
Like, if he says he's not going to do something--
He's not going to do it.
Yeah, he's sticking to that.
So we're going to move on.
Besides people being late, you know, was anyone concerned?
Does anyone have that cousin or that friend
that you were afraid would cause a scene?
- My auntie Pat. - Auntie Pat?
Auntie Pat is off the chain.
She has no filter.
And she drinks.
And my wedding day happened to be her birthday.
Oh.
Oh, wow.
So I just was like, you know, she's going
to live her best life this day.
Anybody?
I'm afraid it's going to be me, quite frankly,
because my husband or his family might
be a little more reserved.
So I'm afraid I'm going to be the one who they're like,
who invited this wild one?
[LAUGHS] And it's your wedding.
Yeah.
So, Kirsten, you seemed pretty calm
when you were getting ready.
But that all changed once you were
ready to walk down the aisle.
Take a look at this clip.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGHS]
Feeling a little scared.
And I'm hoping that I can get through this.
And I hope that he's everything that I expected and prayed for.
And I hope that the experts did a good job
picking out my husband.
I am very particular in what I like.
And if he's not the man that I was expected,
I'll be [SIGHS] disappointed.
Ooh.
I mean, I don't even know where to start.
Like, how much liquid courage did it take before this moment?
What are your thoughts?
I'm like, I'm about to be a runaway bride.
I don't know if I can do this.
Oh, OK.
I don't even want to know what this man looks like.
This could all be a disaster so fast because what
if it's not the man that I pray for, that I'm hoping for.
You had a mean list.
Are you really ready to relinquish control?
[SIGH] You know--
Ooh.
It was-- it's very tough for me to put the control
in somebody else's hands.
So I'm learning to kind of be at ease
and sit back just a little bit and give
the experts a chance to do so.
All right.
So, Brad, do you have any advice for the ladies for
their first year of marriage?
I'll tell a story.
So before we came out today, Keisha wanted an apple.
And I'd already had an apple.
And when I picked up the apples, I
could see the little stickers on them,
so I knew they hadn't been washed yet.
So I just kind of like wiped my apple and ate it.
But when she wanted one, I went and washed it.
So it's a quick story about--
like whoever you're with, you almost
want to care about them more than you care about yourself,
you know, at least as much.
So going into this first year of marriage,
I would say definitely stay open,
stay receptive, and realize that just
as unique and beautiful as you are,
they feel that way about themselves.
