00:00How has you guys' relationship been tested in a way that maybe you didn't see coming?

00:06Had you been through other, like, tests or hardships that you thought before this that maybe you knew you would apply to this?

00:12Or is this, like, one of the first big, kind of, hurdles?

00:14This is my third time.

00:16Honestly, you would think it would cause more tribulation or cause more problems between you, but I think it's bonded us more than anything else.

00:25I think there's something that we'll always have this as, like, a bonding, strengthening thing, you know?

00:31Which is why we're also moving up the wedding a little bit.

00:35Oh, we'll get to that.

00:37Let's talk about moving up the wedding, Jack!

00:41Okay, so...

00:42You can, I don't care.

00:44I don't know.

00:45I was going to ask you.

00:47No!

00:48Okay.

00:49I don't know.

00:50So, I'm hearing we might be moving up the wedding is what you're alluding to.

00:54When are you guys getting married?

00:55In two days, actually.

00:56In two days?

00:57Okay.

00:58Tell me everything.

00:59Is this, like, a city hall situation?

01:01Yeah.

01:02Yeah.

01:03So, it was actually...

01:04I'll actually cry.

01:05It was so, so sweet.

01:07Obviously, we were planning to plan a wedding.

01:10And there's a lot of emotions that come in with chemo and the impact and the health.

01:15Like, we don't know what the next year looks like.

01:18And one night, he said, I want to show you that I still love you and that I'm here to stay.

01:24And he said, I will get married to you tomorrow.

01:28And, yeah, we flew our parents in.

01:31They actually arrived today.

01:33Yeah.

01:34We got our marriage license.

01:37And a friend is going to marry us, I think, in our apartment.

01:41In our apartment.

01:42And we're just going to go to dinner.

01:43Yeah.

01:44More for the paperwork, you know?

01:45Yeah.

01:46More for the paperwork.

01:47It's a sweet sentiment of his offer of, you know, being there for me.

01:52Oh, wow.

01:53We still will have a wedding.

01:54Yes.

01:55In the future.

01:56But it was just kind of this really...

01:58I don't know.

01:59I'm speechless still.

02:00Like, kind gesture of just, like, him saying, like, truly in sickness and in health that

02:05he's proving that he's here to stay.

02:08And I also just want to be able to, like, be in the hospital with her and just be like,

02:11my wife's in there, you know?

02:13Yeah.

02:14There's more power to that.

02:15And I don't want to be...

02:16Like, I don't want to be not with you for any of this.

02:19Yeah.

02:20Even though I go back on the road in April.

02:21But besides that, I just want to be everywhere with you as much as I can.

02:24So...

02:25I mean, that's a very powerful sentiment to want to say, I want to be...

02:28I'm here for my wife.

02:30I want to be in the room with my wife.

02:32Whereas a lot of people might, you know, be scared or might pull back and say, this is

02:36a lot.

02:37Like, one step at a time.

02:38And he's going the other way.

02:39Like, obviously, that makes you emotional.

02:40Yeah.

02:41And I mean, you know the statistic.

02:42I think, unfortunately, a lot of women who are diagnosed, men are more likely to then

02:47leave their partner than if the roles were reversed.

02:50Like six times more likely.

02:51What's wrong with men?

02:52I don't know.

02:53I don't know.

02:54I got a good one.

02:55Yeah.

02:56So yeah, he shows up every day and he does it in ways that just continue to surprise

03:01me.

03:02So...
