Summary

Boyfriend has officially upgraded to fiancé! Mary shares the behind-the-scenes of how he proposed and what her thoughts are on engagements, weddings, and marriages. She also talks about how she’s approaching everything with a feminist mindset. Remember: The most empowering thing you can do for yourself as a feminist is to clearly communicate what is/ isn’t important to you. And as feminists, I don’t think we have any right to judge another woman for her personal choices. Do you agree?

0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. I'm your host, Mary Jolkovsky. I'm an author, speaker,
0:08.4	an all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:17.3	Hello, myself lovers. Welcome to the MCOT podcast, coming at you as an engaged woman.
0:26.9	Yes, boyfriend proposed and I said yes, so I guess we're engaged and we'll be getting married
0:35.5	in the next couple of years and honestly, I was so resistant to
0:40.7	doing a podcast episode about it because I'm like, what does this have to do with anything? And
0:46.3	I don't need an entire episode to talk about this because I already shared so much on
0:51.4	Instagram. But then as I started thinking about it, I'm like, you know what?
0:55.3	I'm having a lot of thoughts, and they're just like very personal musings.
1:02.1	And I wanted to share them just in case any of you are in a relationship or you're a feminist who sees yourself maybe getting married one day, although some of the
1:14.2	stuff around engagements and weddings and marriages and everything feel so anti-feminist, which is
1:20.7	something I'm currently pondering. Or you're in a relationship, or you're engaged yourself and you're
1:26.5	just curious and nosy,
1:27.7	and I love that, and I want to tell you everything. So this short podcast episode, I have not
1:32.8	planned anything. I just want to talk to you as a friend. So I guess I'll start by telling you
1:39.3	the story. You probably saw a lot of it on Instagram, but basically on Friday, last Friday, boyfriend was like, we're going on a trip. And the part that I didn't share on Instagram is that he's been acting suspicious, like the past month or so. He's been talking about going on a trip. And I've just had a lot of work this spring. It's just been so overwhelming,
2:03.0	so I'm not going to lie, I've been pretty difficult about it. I'm like, no, it's not the right
2:06.7	time, please. I just want to stay at home, blah, blah, blah. And Friday, I actually just flew in
2:12.4	from giving a talk at Drake University on Thursday night. And then Friday morning, Stan was like, let's go
2:21.0	see the horseshoe dam. And I'm like, you mean horseshoe bend? And he's like, no, horseshoe dam.
2:29.3	And I'm like, you mean the Hoover Dam? And he's like, no, there's a horseshoe dam. And I looked it up
2:33.4	and it had like two stars out of five. And it's just a horseshoe dam. And I looked it up and it had like two
