Hey there, darlin. I thought i'd found you here. What darling, I say, it's everyone. It's a Southern thing, you know, in Texas, everything everyone's darling person off the treet. Hey, honey, we call everyone babes Katie. This is what we do, lots of terms of endearment. I didn't mean it in
any kind of necessarily you know that way. I know this is an odd circumstances found ourselves in what Oh I'm just saying, like your family told me that you usually like to hang out in them, well at your computer desk, so I thought i'd come in here in check. So we're married. This is differend I know, Oh, I know. I know it's at a convenience. I know it's definitely going to help your family, but I think it'll help, you know, my family's interests too, you know, particularly and
expanding what well. I mean, like, you know, my parents are going to get a son in law, so interesting. Oh yeah, they weren't there. They unfortunately couldn't make it. They wanted the wedding to happen as soon as possible. You're right, in the six month planning period. They just my parents haven't been as supportive in my life as other parents, you could say, they're a little a little preoccupied with other things. So I guess we kind of need to get to know each other a little bit better.
Well, I mean, I thought that.
It would be nasty during the six month period to spend the time apart and plan as we could, and have your family plan as they desired. What I sorry, I guess I'm being all thumbs trying to I'm trying to make you feel better about this whole thing. It's so different, you know, I've clearly neither one of us have ever been here before. I don't even think I've
done a blond date ledlim marry someone blindly. Well, I figured since it was a marriage of convenience anyways, we had plenty of time to get to know each other. I didn't want you to, and your family expressed it too. They didn't want you to maybe get to the point where you didn't want to this. I don't know, I'm gonna stop acting like I fully understand what's going on, what's going on in your what's going on in that
beautiful mind. I don't know. Looking at your forehead makes me wonder if you're on some magical mystery rad you got my head spinning. I don't know what hit me, but I'm sure I'll be all right. Those are song lyrics, yes, John Legend. Sorry, I guess I'm trying to be romantic. I'm trying my best here. I'm absolutely just fumbling. What well, I mean, you're super cute and what didn't they send a picture of me over to you? Well, they send
a picture of you over to me. And I've been truly this entire time, made the whole six months if not going to talk to each other rather difficult. I what well? No, I mean, you just got thish, very strong exterior feel to you. It feels like you're actively trying to robuff people, but you really just want to let someone on the inside. And what I always all in thats you have peppy dog guys, absolute peppy dog guys. You can tell just how sweet, nice and kind hearted
you are, especially to those that you care about. And I'm not gonna lie. I'm hoping, beyond a hope, maybe I become one of those that you could care about. Sorry, I'm invading your personal space there, Jesus, I'm trying. I'm trying to help you relaxed. Maybe I should just be what. Oh, yeah, no, I can stay here. That's not a problem. I well, I didn't expect you to want me to stay here. After all this Babylon. I keep you company, I can't keep my head straight. Well, I'm just so nervous. You know,
this is our first time being a what. No, I wasn't expecting anything physical coal here. I mean, anyone could walk in.
It's a parents' house. Yeah.
Well, I'm guessing they told you because I saw your suitcases packed, I figured would at least take my home for a year or two. Yeah, it's separate from your parents, and I figured I would meet you here, maybe stay a night or two. Everyone get to hang out with each other before we head over there. Yeah no, I had them tell me some of your favorite things. We've painted one of the rooms. It's darker. It's like a really dark cherrywood. It's got nice kind of ivory ivory
Well paint, is that what you'd call it. I'm sorry, I'm not a professional interior designer, but yeah, I know how you like the nice contrasts color. So we made sure to have a nice fireplace in it. It's a faux fireplace, but it feels realistic and yeah it's nice and cozy. So I had them help me design it so I fit your needs. What yeah, your puppy dog as Yeah, I'm just saying I could tell you have a soft side. I didn't mean anything by it. I'm sorry.
I didn't think that would catch you so off guard. You back up, Well, no, you remind me a lot of my dad. My dad's the exact same way. Goodness, I miss what was past tense? Yeah yeah, sorry, No, I mean like, well, he hasn't changed, he has the same hones. So anyways, back to you. So, I was thinking, you know, now that this deal has gone through, your family is not really gonna need for money anymore. What is it you wanted to do with your life? Oh me,
I'm still gonna be working. I've been working my entire life. But well, yeah, I know the deal helps my family as well. It's definitely gonna make it to where I'm finally going to have that nice trust. I mean, we were already good. It's going to add to our investments. And my mom my mom is uh, she's she's she's gone down under Australia. Yeah, she's in Australia. Yeah, that's the under she went to.
It's what what is.
That you have there on your computer? No, they looked like obituaries. That's that's my mom, okay, and that's my dad. So you so you know that I'm an orphan. Okay, this isn't funny. I'm not laughing. Yeah. No, the deal is solid, the deal is true. No, no, before you can't. No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit the desk like that. I what you need to understand is that I put
a lot into this deal. I spent two years going to the Chamber of Commerce meetings and gallas and getting to know everybody and pretending to be drunk so that they would spill their secrets in front of me because I'm just a cute girl and I don't know what they're talking about in business, gaining secrets here, using secrets over here, and positioningpace myself into a place where I
could greatly benefit your family. One favor gets me, another favor, gets me another favor, puts me in the room to get another favor, and bam, I made it to where your family is one of the most wealthy families in the sight. And then I use that as leverage to get you my goal.
You, baby, you you're the goal. I have had the biggest crush on you for like three or four years. Well, okay, I guess I could have told you that. But every time I've ever told someone I have a crush on them, I like them, I would pursue them. It goes, it goes left, it goes bad.
No, I end up usually dating them, But it just whenever I try to have a normal relationship the way you're supposed to have it, I just it doesn't work out. So I decided to go through an unconventional method arranged marriage. You were not someone who thought you were ever going to end up in a relationship. You more or less have given up on wanting to be with anyone. Because I did my research, I knew if I were to try to ask you out, you probably would have been scared. Cole,
you wouldn't have gone out with me. And I really really love you, And I really I'm sorry I said it. I love you, I do really love you. No, why would I go through all of this? Yeah, you know what, I may not be the most gorgeous girl on earth, but as long as you're just just over average, it's not that hard as long as you have a little bit of charisma and you just go into those circles
and gregariously talk and flatter people. You know, ninety percent of getting someone to like you is just asking them questions about themselves and then asking more probing questions. Yeah, no, seriously, that is ninety percent of it. I read this great book called the Charisma Myth. Show a ton of interest in the other person without giving unsolicited advice, and babam,
they're gonna go head over hills for you. And so I would just sit there and feign interest in all these people so that I could get the thing that I really am interested in. Your family, and you know what, you should be happy. What do you mean manipulation? Of course, it's manipulation. Everything in this life is manipulation. Your family didn't even wait, you know that. They didn't even give it half a second before they said yes. They handed you over a silver platter. They didn't go home and
sleep on it. They didn't wait the customary three to seven days to act as if there were something that they had to think through. They handed you to me, and I gladly accepted. Because you are a prize, and clearly so much of a prize they don't deserve. They wouldn't or just so, they wouldn't have handed you over to you to me like they did. My babe, my darling, my love. I get it. You know next to nothing about me. I get it. This is this is not
the way you envisioned any of this happening. I get it. You have a lot of emotions going through you right now. But what I need you to do is look me in the eye. You know, just no, I'm taking your hand just here, put it to my face. Just feel me pressed against you, and know that you never have
to work another day in your life. And with these skills that I've gained and business realm and just you know, wheeling and dealing and basically being the rumble still skin of the trusted area, I can provide for her family. We can have the type of life that we've always wanted. And you'll get to know me, and you'll get to love me and just and you'll get to know that you have somebody who would do all of this for you.
I would do anything for you. I love you, So why don't you just take that gamble and love me? Come on. Look, I'm supposed to spend the night in your room anyway, So let's just go up there. Maybe we can just lay down, gather yourself, I can lay beside you. We can talk this through our first lover spat. You know. Hah, I've manipulated you into a marriage with me. It's fun. You alreadys said I do. So why don't
we am speaking of? I do? There's one more thing that we should probably be doing, you know, mattress dancing, you know, and horizontal tango, you know, knocking boots. No, I'm just a I'm just saying we might we need to consummate the marriage so that it's a uh copesetic, it's a dundeed do me, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. But you know, you're right, we can definitely
have that talk first. But you know, if it's it's gonna be too difficult for you, I can always just chloroform you and get the deed done if that will make things easier for no. No, no, okay, last resort to know what No, I won't know. It won't be a resort at all. By the way, why yes, I am not wearing it. That's why I've got a little bit of a headlight situation going on with these No got you. I thought this would help turn that a frown into a UPSat down you know, nice little grin. No,
you have beautiful lips. I'm just thinking about where else they could go. All right, let's let's go show me on up to your room, shall I? All right, now, I'll answer question you have truthfully. I will not bring the chloro form. My promise. All right, let's go. Hey guys, Nina Alexander here inspiration for this video. U Zena is a little bit obsessed. I've never gone this far I have. I'm pretty gregarious. I'm introverted. A lot of people think
introverted mean shy. It doesn't. It just means that your social battery wears down when you're around a ton of people, versus extroverted, which means your social battery like builds when you're around a lot of people. I'm an introvert, but I tend to be around a lot of people. So
Zena is always tired. And I used to go to these business gallows and whatnot that my my local chamber of Commerce and B and I groups put on because I had to because if we're and it was so interesting the things that people would say around me because they just thought cute girl doesn't know anything. And I actually ended up hearing about a deal that I didn't have an NDA for and the guy was actually kind
of a jerk. His son was really sweet, though. This was this cute little nerd guy that I got to I was hitting on at the party, but I essentially went over to his competition and dropped this little tip bit of information, partially because the guy was very insulting, like why are you here type things, and the guy's son so mean. Guy's son overheard me doing it, and we were giggling off together, and I don't know how
we got on the topic of arranged marriages. He wasn't in one, neither was I. But anyways, I was thinking last night when my brain broke about how I do a lot of yondre stuff and I would be interesting to see yondreda and arranged marriage, and then this memory popped up. So it's very loosely based off of the memory, but that is where I pulled from and thought it
was funny. And then I also peppered in a little bit of how none of my relationships have ever gone very well because Zena can't do traditional to save her life. Anytime I go to chase after someone, it's it's like they turned into husein the bolt and they run in the opposite direction. Yet when someone hits on me, I never know. I have no idea. You have to clunk me upside the head and tell me, and even then I'm probably gonna think you're telling a joke. I'm weird.
All that to say, I'm weird. Anyways, I'm super stoked about our thirty hour live stream, which depending on when you're hearing this, it is scheduled over on YouTube. If you click on live stream, you can get a notification for I think two pm EEST on Friday, so we'll be going for thirty hours, which I know sounds like a lot. Xena is used to it. Zina has CPTC. No advice, please, I am working with professionals and because of that, I stay up for twenty four to forty
eight hours. Not all CPTs expresses the same, but this is how mine expresses. So this is actually like the amount of time I'm normally up. Anyways, this is perfectly fine. It's in my wheelhouse. I just get to spend it with you guys. The only difference is I'm probably gonna pop some throat loss enges because I'm not used to talking that much. But I also know how to take care of myself in that regard. So anyways, Xena is babbling and I will see you guys in the next video. Bye.
