ALWAYS EASY, BUT THEY MADE IT
LOOK LIKE IT IS.
THEY APPEARED ON "LOVE IS BLIND"
WHERE THEY COMMITTED TO GETTING
MARRIED BEFORE THEY EVEN SAW EACH OTHER.
EACH OTHER.
THE LOVE CONNECTION WAS SO
STRONG, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN
YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND WROTE A BOOK
ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE CALLED

MODERN WAY." AND JOINING US ARE LAUREN AND

ASPECTS OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE
BEING IN THE POD.

WE WERE GETTING INTO THIS
INTENSE CONVERSATION AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE’S A BANG ON THE

THEY HAD GLASS CUTOUTS AND I
COULD SEE A CAMERA MAN ZOOMING
IN BECAUSE HE COULD SENSE IT WAS AN INTENSE MOMENT AND PULLED ME
AN INTENSE MOMENT AND PULLED ME
OUT OF THE DATE AND BACK TO THE
PRODUCTION SIDE OF IT.
BUT THAT WAS AN INTERESTING
THING ABOUT THIS, WAS THE
CONNECTIONS WERE VERY REAL.
THE RELATIONSHIPS WERE VERY REAL
BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF
ARTIFICIAL THINGS IN THE
ENVIRONMENT.

FINDING LOVE WOULD LEAD TO WHAT
YOUR LIFE IS LIKE RIGHT NOW?
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY NOT. I DON’T THINK I COULD HAVE EVER
I DON’T THINK I COULD HAVE EVER
DREAMED THIS IS HOW THINGS WOULD
BE.
BUT WE’RE SO BLESSED AND SO
GRATEFUL AND GRATEFUL TO BE IN A
POSITION WHERE OUR LOVE STORY
INSPIRES SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND
THE WORLD.
AND THAT’S WHAT LEAP OF FAITH IS
ALL ABOUT, TAKING OUR PLATFORM
AND CONTRIBUTING SOMETHING TO
THE WORLD OTHER THAN JUST BEING
TWO PEOPLE THAT MET ON THAT ONE
SHOW THROUGH THE WALL
SO WE WANT TO SHARE GEMS AND
JEWELS THAT CAN HELP PEOPLE.

WE WROTE THE BOOK. WE WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE PRAGMATIC
WE WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE PRAGMATIC
INSIGHT INTO WHAT HAS WORKED FOR

AND NOT JUST WAVING A HAND OVER IT BUT TALKING ABOUT TECHNIQUES
IT BUT TALKING ABOUT TECHNIQUES
FOR COMMUNICATING, ARGUMENTS
