Transcript

Your vows have over 13,000,000 likes. When you look back at that day, like, what was the most important thing that you really wanted to convey to Covert in those vows? I will never write anything as good as those. The night before, I was so cocky going into it. I was like, I'm a songwriter. I can easily write these vows. 11PM, it starts, and there's the cursor that's blinking on on docks. And it's literally to cover or I say cover, and it's how it starts. And I rank, and it's 3AM. Not a single word has been written because I couldn't fathom how am I supposed to sum up the fact that this woman changed my life into a page and say it in front of all of our friends and family? I was freaking out. My friend at the time, he was still up worse, and he's like, step away from the fucking computer and tell me about her. And I just start talking. And I just literally just start blabbering, like, everything that I feel about this woman, and he's like, write it down. He's like, write that down. He's like, write that down. That's good. Write that down. And I rank, and it's just this this. That's what the vows worse. It was just me not thinking and talking about my wife. In the vows, you say she saw something in you that you didn't see in yourself. What were you referring to? My wife sees the good in so many people that it ends up hurting her. I'm like, stop. But at the same time, I love you for it. She just sees so much good. And in me, at least, I think that there's a lot of brokenness, especially when I met her. My mom, she was alive for cover, and my mom was a horrible person to cover. Enough to give anyone a reason to to leave that. She understood everything. She understood she was she handled it with so much grace and so so much so much decorum that I was like, how can you handle that?
