Jamie and Sophie's Wedding Anniversary

0:02Hey guys, it's me Jamie. I hope you're having an amazing day and gearing up to Christmas because Christmas is right around the corner. It's about to sing, but I'm not going to sing. Guys, this is the very last episode of Newlyweds. Now, we went on a pause. We weren't telling anything why we were going on a pause and it was because Sophie was pregnant and we're getting ready for it. So this is that very final special episode. We really hope you enjoy it. Buckle up.

0:33Hey, it's Paige from Giggly Squad. What I love most about fall is the fashion, and Abercrombie is setting the standard for the season. The best-selling A &F Sloan Tailored Pan and Viral Dillon Dress are my no-fail picks for work events and happy hours. And for every day, I'm pairing a merino wool blend sweater with a Gemma Satin Pull-On Pant for the perfect mix of high and low styling. It's a cheat sheet to the season, and I'm obsessed with it all. Shop Abercrombie in the app, online, and in stores.

3:52Three I think I was 22 23 maybe maybe no it was the summer of 22 I was 22 and we were on a trip in Croatia and I very much did not know you even though we were on the same show together like I really didn't know you didn't know me no and neither did you know me no and i remember we all sort of did like we met we landed we all went for dinner with the producers and la-di-da jamie sat at one end i was sat at my end with like melissa and like my friends and you were very much at the other end with like the big dogs of the show oh yeah not really hanging out with the cast may i say and then the net that love you were acknowledging that you noticed it yeah and i actually thought you were a bit arrogant i remember thinking like i actually remember thinking you're a bit of a douche i'm gonna be really honest this is a truthful thing i thought god he's a bit of a douche and you were quite loud and like quite like alpha and like and then what happened was the next day what does that even mean you were just like kind of like i don't know showing off is what i would say showing off to who to ask me probably i don't know to all of us like showing you were like trying to be top dog and then what happened is we woke up the next day and i was staying in a another villa and you dm'd me on instagram this is coming back to me now by the way my memory guys there's nothing that gets past me you dm'd me and said like do you guys want to come over for a barbecue and i remember being like yeah this is my number like text us and we'll like organize it did you get a flutter when i dm'd you no okay no not even a little flutter no i didn't but i then remember sorry i really remember this all we then come over to yours and you were wearing a bandana because you just had your hair transplant perfect all right sick all right and you like bar and you know what's wild no part of we didn't realize that this boy has never ever ever cooked or touched food or prepped for food or barbecued and you were barbecuing our chicken and i'll never forget it and i thought at the time oh my god thank god we've got like an older guy who's gonna like I saw you as very much like an older person Like you were really not my age group Are you joking?

6:02Because I was 22, you were 30 No, no, I'm not 8 years older than you You were 6, motherfucker Motherfucker Anyway, you're barbecuing the food Yeah, I can't see you start Am I topless? Yeah, we're all in bikinis and we're like swimming around And then I kind of By the way, can I just let you say this I remember this barbecue because You did come over in a bikini and I thought God you have a really good bum Okay I remember thinking Thank you very much I do remember thinking Okay right So then what happened It was surprising as well That's come back to me I was like surprised Why were you surprised?

6:41I don't know It was unexpected Why was it unexpected? I don't know I just wasn't expecting you To have a good bottom I don't know Don't ever I might be married for you For two years But I will not stay married If you refer to it as a bottom continuously like I can't get on board the bed. How have you got a sexy bottom? It's criminal offense. Okay so anyway then we get friends and like whatever like we're seeing each other at filming and it's like quite fun and I thought you were nice. And then I got really really homesick and I was on this walk along the... This is the next day I remember this.

7:15This is like five days later. Yeah. I was really really homesick and I was like voice noting my friends from home like Chrissy and I was like I really don't like this place I really want to come home. I don't really know any of these people and then you drive past in a car with a bunch of other people and you're like you were walking towards us I remember you were in like a yellow smart car no we were in like I think it was like a yellow jeep thing trying to make it cool it wasn't was it not? it was like a smart car okay fine it was a yellow smart car anyway you beep beep and you're like get in we'll take you for lunch and I got in and you were wearing a bikini like a running shorts black running shorts and a bikini black top I remember it Yeah, I was.

And then I weirdly ended up just moving into your villa. Then I spent every day with you guys. Yeah. Me and the lads. I remember you saying to me at that lunch, it was me, Miles from Made in Chelsea and you. And I remember you saying, God, if you had Miles' looks and your personality, you'd be great.

12:37Wedding rings? Wedding rings. Wedding rings? Wedding rings. Wait, what wedding rings did you send me? I started throwing you a couple on Instagram. A couple engagement rings. What? Is that what people do? Is they throw it in? Well, clearly you took note because you got me the ring I wanted. Nearly. No, I'm joking. You did. So anyway, all of this happened. But wait, and you always knew that you then wanted to marry me? Yeah. I don't think That I think women And men are really different I don't think women Me in particular Who didn't date I'm not like How you You dated a lot of people Who you weren't really That happy with Like I've Like if I don't like someone I'm not going to spend Another second with them So I was with you And like living with you And renting a place with you Like I wasn't thinking Oh This is just temporary Like I Are you that brutal If you don't want to be in it You're out Yes Okay so hang on So role play now You're going to break up me going to hi sophie how are you i'm quite a texter on a breakup that is just the most brutal thing i know or i i like typically have waited for an argument and then i'll break up after the argument and then i'll follow up with the text i just know this is like fully like it's not an argument like we are broken up and like goodbye yeah what you wait for an argument you have to well i don't wait for an argument you do wait like oh this is quite nice you know like some days You're like this isn't quite right And then you start like You're falling in love How long does it take you To like check out I think women It's quite a long time Like what Like six months So over that six months You're slowly checking out Well depends Like I've been in relationships And I'm like Ick on day one And two weeks later I'm like get me out Wait quickly What are the signs When you start checking out I reckon if a woman's checking out Like they're going out With their girls They're not really wanting to see you They're not coming round Like they don't care They're not asking where you are They're not having sex?

14:26They're just pretty much like, let's live our separate lives. Like, that's very much I would say someone's checking out. But you do that sometimes to me. No, I don't. Yes, you do. No, I don't. You're going on holiday without me. Sophie's going on holiday, and she was like, don't worry, you don't need to come. And I was like, okay. No, no, let me explain what's happening. We booked our annual holiday to Ibiza, and I get a message from Jamie's PA saying, hi, just so you know, we're cancelling Ibiza. Why? Jamie's told me he can't go did he not want to tell me I booked off a week off work I've organised it with the team I booked my holiday I've got my outfits I'm this and I'm hearing it from your PA so I was like fuck you I'll keep my week and I'll book myself a banging holiday with my friend in Dubai are you kidding yeah but then you're going on another holiday for your mum's birthday and you're going out and you're like don't worry you don't need to come no because I will be with my mum and my sister no no no do you prefer that Just tell me the truth right now.

15:27Do you prefer getting on holiday with your mum and your sister than me? No, I prefer. I like them both. No, who do you prefer? I don't. Can I actually tell you something? I find, like, splitting you with, like, family quite hard. Because, like, you require a lot of my attention. Okay, anyway, we then fell in love. We got engaged, which was amazing. We then started planning our wedding, which is where this podcast started. And what I just realized recently about our podcast that we started, when it was something called Nearly Weds, before we got married, is that you had no idea what we were doing.

15:58No idea. You said you sat down and we were just doing a podcast. No, no, no. What happened? You said, honey, do you mind just coming in on Wednesday? Are you free on Wednesday morning? I was like, I'll make myself free. You're like, come in. I just need you to do a pilot with me for something. You didn't say it was for you and I. So I thought I was helping you with something to do with private parts. I sit down and we record this podcast. And then lo and behold, you're like, we're going to do another one. You kept calling them pilots. so I did about six pilots never once knowing that they were going out and it only took me until like maybe four months in that my mum was like you know that you're crying on one of the episodes and I was like sorry and she was like yeah you're going can you cut this out and you're having a full raging argument and none of it's been cut out and I was like that fucker's been showing everything and we did we showed everything on it and literally everything we led up to our wedding which was incredible and then our wedding was just amazing i mean two weddings one in london to get properly um married and then we had our big wedding our sort of main party in spain which is our anniversary is now two years ago we were doing that which is wild what's been like the hardest and best moments of the last two years This is quite a deep episode we're doing today.

17:23I know. The hardest thing about being in a relationship and marrying someone is realizing that it's not about you as much. And that was quite hard for me to learn. I think I underestimated how much you need to be a team. I have desires, feelings, wishes, wants, loves, hates, all those things. And selfishly, you sort of automatically think that your partner wants all of that, the same thing. but they don't and they react in different ways and they consume things in different ways and they argue in different ways and they get emotional in different ways like what well i always used to think with you like like something can anger you and you get really angry about it boom like that i used to take that as like and when i hadn't done anything wrong so i could literally say to you oh i like this chair and i want to put it here you could get angry about that because it's like it's irritating but no no you know something as small but also big something as small as that but also some things as big i used to take that as you attacking me but you're not attacking me that's just where you can express yourself sometimes and so i had to learn to do that and what i used to do a lot is if you had a go at me i would then fight back fire with fire and then it's chaos yeah i don't think people under like they don't know that you're a fiery fiery boy under that labrador puppy Persona that you have I'm not fiery We're both really fiery Very confrontational people Yeah I don't take any shit And nor do you Like we like We like an argument Let's be honest You like an argument I don't like an argument Are you kidding Are you kidding me Listen Jamie would go through his life Never arguing with me Correct Correct Because I do nothing wrong Oh my god Listen for a minute The only reason we argue Are you actually saying that No listen The only reason we argue is because it will get to a point where there is little things that he's done here and there, here and there.

19:15And I tolerate it, I tolerate it. And then the smallest thing, like an armchair, will blow up. And then what happens is, I'm like, oh God, I've released it. I feel great now. Let's go get, watch a movie. Let's eat dinner. You need to really go through with the fine treatment to like fix that argument. And I've had to learn. You've got better at it because I will be like, dude, this is so boring. Argument's over. I've got my yelling and anger out. Years and years and years ago Like before I was doing anything I dated a girl Right This is years ago Sophie and I were having a conversation About this girl That Like no Like Not part of our lives Not part of Sophie's life Not part of my life Just some random Girl that I dated And we were looking at her And I said She was really pretty What the fuck is wrong with you?

20:01Are you joking? Who the fuck says that? Are you joking? Oh do you know what? My ex was fucking fit He was a good looking dude Bit of you pissed off A little bit Tiny bit Told you Ha ha ha You'll cackle Seething with anger No you can't But then we had A big argument about it And I was like Hang on a second I'm a hormonal lady And I'm allowed to argue Because that I said I said to you Don't say that to me Like even if I'm mental Like I don't want to hear it Seething Absolutely seething Yeah to be fair My ex was pretty hot Oh Actually does have a bit Oh my god stop mimicking me sorry i'm so sorry okay right anyway so you do so what i've learned is that's what you have to do in a relationship and you have to understand really understand each other okay what is you being what is the biggest learning curve for you give it to me i don't think there's been like a learning curve i think that we both even though you were quite old when we got married but i would say i was like just a wee little 27 year old and i think that my like year the last two years i've grown so much as a person into a different person just like we were kind of both really fucking nuts when we met like and we met like kind of nuts and then we came together and we were really nuts and like we're both quite extroverts and you're much more extra than I am and actually that's something I've learned like I'm not as an extra as I thought being married to you I like really have to like listen to myself and just like I don't I just feel like much I feel like we both feel much more comfortable in ourselves and like that's just like we've almost grown in ourselves but we've grown together that is what I and like I feel like I know myself so much I'm like I don't like going out every single night a week like I used to like that's what you like to do and like I don't need like you know what I mean like I know myself and I'm comfortable in myself and I would say that's because we've got such a good relationship that I've been able to learn that about myself that's what happens in a relationship what happens is it turns a mirror on yourself so you see yourself because for your true person because you can't hide this you're behind the persona for so long so then you have to front up to who you truly are and that's why relationships are really good I mean people don't want to be in relationships totally fine but some people do and that's why relationships are really good because you turn the mirror on yourselves which has been amazing what's been the hardest moment for you it's not hard in the grand scheme of things but like you are really exhausting like there are I'm like burnt out a lot of the time and that was really hard to learn about like I I had to learn that I'm not you and like I don't need to live my life at this pace you live it because I felt ill every day i was like oh my god i'm gonna pass away like every day thinking i had to live the way at the pace you live your life why do i live at the very no it's disgusting it's absolutely disgusting i'm so scared if our children have the energy you have because like that's a lot it's a lot and i think that's been like hard in a sense but also amazing that's really me there's no chill okay the we then obviously got married and nearlyweds became newlyweds and we've now been doing newlyweds for two years and in those two years and in those two years we have done so many things we have gone on tour we've gone on tour which was like twice which was the greatest thing in the world our parents long tour brought our parents on tour they've come on the podcast lots we have bought a house and we've been renovating it for the last eight months we're sitting in our room at the moment which is like going to be our bedroom where you know hopefully it's going to be this magical place

31:22well hello everyone welcome to listeners messages okay right i've got one from anonymous give it to me honey i've been working with my boyfriend for a year and a half but for most of the time we were based in different offices and had never actually met in person our connection grew entirely over video calls and messages and before we knew it we were spending all day chatting forming a bond that felt so natural and effortless. When we finally met at our Christmas party it was instant like we had known each other forever but life wasn't simple. We lived far apart and there were other factors that meant we only saw each other a few times a year.

31:56Then last summer everything changed. Circumstances shifted and he finally asked me on a date. I was nervous but something in me told me to say yes. From the very first date it was like fate had been guiding us to this moment. We fell in love instantly and we've been inseparable ever since. Oh no. But here's where I truly believe fate played its part. In December in my early 20s I was diagnosed with cancer. It turned my world upside down. I had to go through major surgery and I'm still recovering. If I had this happen before we went on that first date I don't think I would have had the emotional space to start something new but he came into my life at exactly the right time.

32:36He's been my rock, my strength and I couldn't have gotten through this without him as soon as I was diagnosed we booked a once in a lifetime trip to the other side of the world and I've since been given the all clear and can't wait to travel the world with my best friend let's go oh my god I'm so happy huge congratulations I'm so happy for you so I got one from Ellie you ready me and my boyfriend met at 17 and 18 years old and we've been together ever since I'd always dreamed of traveling Australia However, going to Australia together with conflicting schedules is near impossible So I made the difficult decision to go by myself I bawled my eyes out at the airport knowing I wasn't going to see him for months He reassured me and told me I was doing the right thing And that he'd be there with me every step of the way I had the most incredible time I met so many amazing people but eight weeks into my adventure I was starting to really miss him I'd just gone off a five-hour coach journey when I heard my name called out from behind me No I turned around and it was him He had travelled to the other side of the world to surprise me the week of our five year anniversary.

33:42I uncontrollably sobbed for nearly an hour. It was the best feeling in the world to see him standing in front of me after all this time apart. Later that evening he suggested going to see a little beach just outside our resort. Looking out and see at night, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I can't bear it. Oh my god, goosebumps. This is unbelievable. Unbelievable! I obviously said yes. It was the best day of my life and the most romantic thing someone has ever done for me. I love him so much and I cannot wait to marry him. Oh my God. Guys, you kill me. That deserves an unbelievable round of applause.
