we secretly got married!!

♪ Gonna get married. ♪ Like actually. I've been wanting to marry this girl for like four years and I'm so glad today's the day. Today is the day that I am getting legally and officially married to my best friend. And I'm very, very excited about it. We were running a little bit, a wee bit behind schedule this morning because we had like a nice, slow, lovely breakfast together. So I am going to get ready real quick. I'm pretty sure I've told you guys the story before, but we had a very crazy first date. It lasted for four days across state lines. We went to Las Vegas, Laguna Beach, and San Diego. Today is actually the four year anniversary of the first time that we told each other we loved each other and became official. We figured what better day to get married than on our anniversary? And what better place to get married than Laguna Beach City Hall where we had days two and three of our first date. I know that's crazy to say. I also mentioned this before, but in case you're new here, hi, welcome. Very happy to have you here. We have our big, well, it's not big, but we have our fun, crazy European wedding next month, but you can't actually get legally married in a foreign country. So, today's the day that we're getting legally married. Also, we knew with planning an international wedding that some people just wouldn't be able to make it logistically. So, today's also kind of a really special way to celebrate with some of the family members that couldn't make it overseas. Justus is very fortunate to have six grandparents who are all coming today, and then one of his sisters, my mom, my godparents, and one of our very best friends. My mom's coming to the wedding, but I also wanted her here. If you can't tell, we're very, very sentimental people. We are actually spending the night in the same hotel we stayed during our first date four years ago in Laguna Beach. We're taking the whole day off tomorrow so that we can just have quality time. Also, we're having one of our friends bring both of our dogs to the ceremony, and I got them little, like, tux bandanas, so I'm really excited about that. I, like, had to have them there. I was low-key heartbroken that we couldn't, like, bring them to Europe. I can't believe I'm about to become a shepherd. So excited. I see trees of green. I'm jumping all over the place with my makeup. I normally stick to my little routine, but I'm, like, getting all excited and just jumping around. I'm not gonna lie, every single time I do my lip liner, I think of the makeup artist that told me I have no Cupid's bow. Then what's that, ma'am? Do I have no Cupid's bow, or did you just put too much lip liner on my lips? Life hack. Makes your eyes pop. It's, like, an addictive formula, so you should only use it once in a blue moon for special occasions. Who dare ringeth the doorbell? No, no, really, though. Who's at the door? My mom sent us flowers. That's so nice. Not even gonna lie, one of the things Justice is most excited about getting married is that the dogs will be, like, officially his. And I can't blame him. They're pretty cool. That and the fact that he will no longer be the Last Shepherd, because he only has sisters, and they're both married. So he is the Last Shepherd. Honestly, sounds like a great title for a movie. Now there will be two. Yes, I am changing my last name. Oh, wait, those flowers are my bouquet. Not me, like, slowly putting the pieces together. I woke up at 5 a.m. So did Justice, I think, because we were just, like, ow. So excited about today. That was pretty good. All right, time to go marry my best friend. Actually, it's time to do my hair and put my cute little outfit on and everything, and then drive down to Laguna and then drop off our luggage and then get to City Hall. But it is almost time to marry my best friend. Not me cutting my veil 20 minutes before we have to leave, because I hate it. It looks awful. I feel like that's way better size. I don't understand why this veil had five stars. Okay, that might be as good as we're gonna get it. Did you get a little blood on your shirt? Yes, I did. I don't know how. Okay, we're all ready. Let's go. To go get married. Going to the chapel and we're. So the outfits, this is the custom suit that Ella did for me. It turned out amazing. It looks really good. This is men's warehouse. Last minute purchase, my bouquet. My lovely friend, Chris, did this for me. She does all of our florals for Hugs events, and she's so incredibly talented. Let's go get married. Why do you not have a shirt on, Justice, while driving? Well, I'm getting married today, and I was sweating profusely, so I needed to take it off. And now I look like I'm just going to the beach. Why are you sweating? Are you nervous? Are you planning on being a runaway bride? I'm not planning on being a runaway bride. I am getting hot feet, not cold feet. I actually want to get married right now. Instead of wait. Does that make sense? I've never heard of that. Going to the chapel and we're. Gonna get married. I've been wanting to marry this girl for like four years, and I'm so glad today's the day. I, Alexandra Hensler, am confirming my promise for all of my life. I, Joseph Shepard, am confirming my promise to be the encouragement to stand together in times of joy and sorrow, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life. By learning best to be in the state of California, you guys are married. Kiss your gorgeous bride. This is the best woman I've ever met. The best man in the whole world. And she's my soulmate, and we are gonna be together forever. Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever. Guess what? We did it. First day. Is it day one or two of being married? We just got married yesterday, so it's day two. Day two of marriage. Princess. Where are we going right now? To the beach. We can see the water. It's so pretty. We're married. Let's go. Oh my gosh. It has not set in. Honestly, part of me thinks it's not gonna set in until our other wedding, because we're still actively planning a wedding. Like, we got married, but we're still wedding planning. I haven't worn, like, the big white dress. You have not. Unless it's not white. He doesn't know what it looks like. It could be. I think it's yellow. It could be. I told him it wasn't white because. No, no, no, no. Okay, I can totally hear you fully. I can totally. Anyways, wedding band. It was in a past vlog. We got it from Brilliant Earth, tried it on there, and I loved it. I just kinda like wear them on both hands, because, like, you really can't put another ring. We tried. We tried every configuration, and it did not look very good. It doesn't work, which is fine. But it's also nice, because, like, I don't know, if I'm going to, like, the gym or running errands, I'll just, like, leave this at home, and then I'll just wear this one. And then, Jay's band. Look at this ring. So, I had this custom made. It is an engraved ring with these gorgeous, like, waves and detailing all around it. Benji and my mom walked me down the little grass aisle, and then Whiskey, hi, Bubba, Whiskey and Justice were waiting at the end of the aisle for me. And then, the incredible woman that works at the Laguna Beach City Hall, Cheryl, was there. All she had to do was sign the paper. She was just incredible. Just, like, the most wonderful human being. Like, you can tell she, like, loves what she does, and she loves marrying people. She had such, like, a beautiful, like, speech and ceremony that she did for us, too. Oh, can you go grab the... You'll be right back. That's the newspaper. That's my wife. That's the New York Times. That's my wife. The newspaper. Four day first date leads to I do. For our wedding next month. I hope you guys are excited for all the content. Oh my gosh, there's so much fun stuff. Thank you, Benji. Thank you, baby. What about me? He's like, hi, you guys are done. I'm ready for attention now. We're a big family. We love you guys. We appreciate you for watching this video. We're so excited for our kiddos to get to watch this one day. I hope they all have his curls and look just like him and have his big old brain and his big heart. Oh, we're married! We're married!
