This is the Ben and Ashley I almost famous podcast with IHartRadio.

Welcome to an other episode of the Almost Famous Podcast.

Today we have Michelle Young here.

She's been engaged since we last talked to her.

Hey Michelle.

Hello. How are you doing?

Good. So we were reporting on your engagement in December, but you guys got engaged a significant

amount of time before that, right?

Yeah, we got engaged in October and we're able to just kind of enjoy it and keep the secret

for a little bit, which was really nice, not something that we expected just because it was

outside and there's some people that saw so we're like, let's hope that they just let us announce it,

but they did. So yeah, it was, it happened in October and we didn't announce until like

end of December, early January, and it's just been wedding planning chaos. It's been great, though. Oh, that's so nice. Okay, so I'm assuming you just did it so that you can privately enjoy the engagement before anybody else knew. Did you tell your family and your friends right away? Yeah, so we had Jack set up a little bit of an engagement party rate afterwards, and so we were able to have

an intimate gathering with family and friends and tell some people. And then we got on the phone

with some other family members that were out of state. And so people who were really close to us knew,

but we were careful to not let it get too big just because then, you know, something

happens. It slips up. We want to be the ones to be able to say. And we just wanted to enjoy it

for a little bit. And, you know, once you kind of announce something like that, I think all

these like questions and full-blown like planning and all this other stuff comes into play.

So we're like, let's just take a breath and enjoy the holidays and everything.

And then we'll now to afterwards.

I think that's a good decision because, yeah, you immediately get asked about planning.
