Why this will make hard
Today JoJo's meeting my mom Susie hi my dad bill
my sister Abbie
And 50 of my closest friends
There's so many people in this town that have been lifelong friends that I consider
Them just as much family so Jordan Sonny they met in junior high
eighth-grade, sweethearts
It really is so great to see all these people who showed up for Luke
And you know were here to support him, and it is a little overwhelming
I knew family was important to Luke so I kind of expected maybe a couple friends
This is like we got all of Burnett, Texas in Luke's backyard right now, okay?
I just want to thank each and every one of you for being here family is big for me
and I know it's big for Jojo as well and
Everybody here has had something to do with my life, and so you're all literally family to me
And thank you so much for having me. This is overwhelming and great, and I'm so excited to be here
That's that means a lot
I feel so welcome these people are just so
Loving and they make it really easy to feel comfortable in such a crazy setting. I don't know
What do you what do you feel like mom you've seen us together like what does that?
Make you feel like yeah. I just I see her
She seems to love people and my family and she seems to think a lot of you
Right to see Jojo just be a part of the family and just hang out with all my friends
It feels really good, and it's like this glimpse into what our future could be
I'm excited about it, and I hope that she feels the same way
I would say I had a great time
And it was so just great being welcomed with so much love and I know where he gets it from so
Thank you again for having me in your home. Thank you
So far today everything has gone exactly how I imagined it and
Better than I could have hoped for Jojo was great with my friends and family and I can picture
Seeing her as my wife like that food look
It's you and I'm falling in love with her, and I'm anxious to see how she feels about the day
I want to know that she's comfortable then I'll be able to put the rest of my heart out there for her
So she's coming with us. This is perfect being with Luke watching the sunset. You know we're on a really good path
So we got out of those oh, I love that he is the guy that I have
Undeniable chemistry with and it's something that I've rarely had in my life with him it feels right and it feels real
but I feel like there is a little more than him and I need to talk about I
Don't know if Luke is in love with me
I just want to know where he's at at this point because this is forever that I'm talking about so today
I'm talking to my sister and I look over and you're just got the cowboy boots on the cutoff shorts. I was like oh
She looks so good
And I hope that's how you felt about the day like I hope you felt like you fit in because I thought you did
Everyone's so great yeah, honestly. You're such a good family
Nice, did you have fun today like yeah?
I'm a big person I could picture things like in my mind like think about like daydreaming about things and today you here
With me and this like it's a good day dream for me
That I can sit down with you now unlike talk to you cuz like today, it was amazing it's great, but like I miss
There was a lot going on all day
Literally like every time that I'm with you my heart just like
gets more and more like involved in like boys my mind and I
See that future and I want that future
And it is scary like a little bit like we said that already at the beginning, but
The thing is is when I have that feeling that it's a little scary. That's how I know it's like real and when
I'm sitting in front of
Someone I'm falling for that all makes sense that comes full circle for me, and it makes me feel that much more
Excited about the future and where it's going and that's
That's what I'm excited about like I want I

Want I want us?
