00:03Stressed?
00:04It's quite stressed running up to the wedding actually.
00:07Yes.
00:09But it's going to be amazing once it starts.
00:12And we get all our friends there and the people we love.
00:17We meditate.
00:18We're going to have an amazing time together.
00:24What do you love about me?
00:26That. I love that.
00:28I love that cheekiness.
00:30I love how she's a spitfire energy and says what's on her mind
00:35and doesn't put up with my nonsense.
00:37And I just love her power, her strength.
00:41I'm a very strong person.
00:42I have a very strong personality.
00:43So for someone like her to have the courage to speak up to me whenever and ever,
00:48it feels so nurturing and so loving
00:52because finally I've met someone who is able to like hold that space of power.
00:59I love watching her with the children.
01:01I love how she's so amazing mother and like puts her children and like how much she raises them.
01:07I learned so much about parenting from her.
01:10That's why I'm marrying her because I know for sure that she's the person I want to spend the rest
01:15of my life with.
01:16Like every conversation is like a joyful conversation and even if it's not a joyful conversation and it's a lesson
01:23where she's checking me and making me be a better man.
01:25I feel great about it.
01:28What made me pull for you?
01:31I'm excited about this.
01:34Was your playfulness, your humor, your wisdom and that I could talk to you about anything.
01:42I was never scared bringing up any situation or anything that we both can grow together and that we're both
01:50willing to grow and never stagnant.
01:56People, when they think about a princess, they think that's who she is.
01:59That's the princess.
02:00The thing about what people don't know is that let's just remove that aspect and look at the woman and
02:07the woman who raised her children and has gone through so much and stands strong against adversity.
02:15A woman who stepped into a relationship with a black man and dealt with all of the people saying things
02:23and making comments and doing all these things and stands strong.
02:28A person who has gone through so much with the media and the press and stands strong.
02:35And so for me, what I think is something that they don't understand about her is that she's not just
02:42a princess.
02:43She is this dynamic woman who is literally making it possible for other women in the world to see their
02:55inner power.
02:56And she has depth.
02:58And that is something that is so powerful about Martha is her depth.
03:04She has depth.
03:06And I also drive a truck.
03:08Yes.
03:08Oh, yes.
03:09And she can drive a big rig and she can go win the Guinness World Records gold medal and she
03:17can do so many things.
03:19And she does it like that.
03:20Like it's nothing.
03:22I think what people don't know about you is your playful side that you are that you love video games
03:30and you love the Nintendo Switch.
03:34Yeah.
03:34But also the fingers.
03:36Oh, my action figures.
03:37Action figures.
03:38Yeah.
03:39You have a very childlike side.
03:41A childish.
03:41Childlike?
03:42Childlike.
03:43Side.
03:44Not childish.
03:45No.
03:50Childlike is nice.
03:52How you portrayed why you play with your action figures and you get your creativity out because if you don't
03:58block your inner child.
04:00Yeah.
04:00You have much more creativity in your life.
04:02And I thought that was so beautiful.
04:04And I love that you don't care about what people think.
04:08You've been a dancer on MTV and have been a VJ on MTV.
04:12And I think people don't know that.
04:15I agree.
04:18There's this saying in the Bible that says, in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, one must come as
04:23a child.
04:24And I remember my grandfather saying that to me.
04:26And I kept saying, well, then how come you guys don't act like kids?
04:29I made a decision in my childhood that I was never going to give up being a kid.
04:33I think more people should take that out.
04:37I remember when I was younger, I was afraid of growing up because it meant to be so serious and
04:43you have to take life serious and everything.
04:45You never laugh anymore and you never have fun anymore.
04:47And, you know, I liked climbing trees and doing stuff like that when I was little.
04:51I think it's so nice to be able to like take those cuts out again as grown-ups and have
04:57fun.
04:58You're my rock.
04:58Yeah.
04:59I love you.
04:59I love you too.
05:04You're my rock.
