Wifey and Baby Mama

Shun:
Hi, I'm Shawn.

Shannon:
Hi and I'm Shannon.

Shun:
And we're the host of Wifey and Baby Mama. We want to thank all of you who listened and subscribed on last week and welcome you along with all of our new listeners to this week's episode titled, Divinely Designed. Okay, so last week we discussed family favorites and viruses and how families can sometimes meddle or even be detrimental in relationships. And then this episode, we thought it was necessary to highlight the fact that no matter What the circumstances there's nothing anyone can really do to stop what God has In store for you, whether it be relationship or any aspect of our lives for that matter, you know People or circumstances may be against us, you know, we can have it and causing crap Chaos, you know like crazy, but God's plan will always prevail

Shannon:
I love that and I love the direction of this topic so that people can see that, you know, what you have in mind, what you think your destiny is, isn't necessarily God's plan. We all wake up every day with a plan for our day. We tend to plan our year at the beginning of the year. We tend to plan, you know, whatever, whatever we have in store. And not saying we shouldn't make plans. We definitely should make plans. And there should be, of course, actions behind those plans. But understanding that what God has for us, we can't stop that. We cannot

Shun:
We can't even

Shannon:
avoid.

Shun:
get in the way of it.

Shannon:
Exactly, exactly.

Shun:
We can't get in the way

Shannon:
We can't,

Shun:
of it and we

Shannon:
mm-hmm.

Shun:
can't run from it.

Shannon:
We can't rewrite it. We can't say, This is the story I want to live. This is the life I want to put in front of everyone when God has a plan. And in relationships or even what we are here for, blended families, a lot of families come together and they're like, oh, how did this happen? They're amazed that they're successful, when they're successful. successful blended family relationships and everyone is in awe and like, oh, something must be going on behind closed doors. And sometimes there are things going on behind closed doors, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it still isn't destined and that it's divinely designed by God.

Shun:
Absolutely, and I just want to touch on something that you just said you said that we may put this life out and we may see This is the life I want to live and Lord. This is how I'm going to do this But sometimes what we want and what God want is exactly the same thing

Shannon:
Uh-huh.

Shun:
We just have to be careful to follow his outline and not ours, you know Sometimes we want to get there faster Sometimes we want to cut corners and sometimes it's not working out as quick as we want and we just want to change paths All together and it's like I have learned that no matter what you do What God has called you to do and what's designed in your life? You will do what he said and sometimes we

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
just prolong that by trying to do things our way or cut corners You know or

Shannon:
Oh

Shun:
give

Shannon:
yeah.

Shun:
up but you

Shannon:
Oh

Shun:
always

Shannon:
yeah.

Shun:
even with my husband and I look at this I I knew something was special about what we had not necessarily him or I But I knew from the beginning and here we are full circle You know all these years later because if God said it that's what it is. You know,

Shannon:
Right,

Shun:
so

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
We can't even get our own way in that sense,

Shannon:
Mm-hmm,

Shun:
you know?

Shannon:
right. And when you speak about your husband, who is Buddy to me, at one point, Buddy and I had a plan. So we thought, even though he was Buddy, it was a plan.

Shun:
But just

Shannon:
Oh,

Shun:
to

Shannon:
we're

Shun:
have a

Shannon:
going

Shun:
plan

Shannon:
to do

Shun:
because

Shannon:
this.

Shun:
you

Shannon:
We're

Shun:
had

Shannon:
going

Shun:
children

Shannon:
to do this. Oh, yeah. We had our child, and we was like, oh, this is going to happen, or whatever. And then one day, it was definitely God. I'm in Buffalo, and I wake up, and I'm like, hmm. No, this is not where I'm supposed to be. Let me get my butt back down south where I'm supposed to be. Don't know where it came from to this day, I tell folks. I just woke up one day, hadn't had an argument, hadn't had a fight, hadn't had anything major happen other than I woke up and God said, get your butt back down south. And that was the plan. So in my mind, two days before that, oh, Buddy and I are gonna try and do something. Even though

Shun:
Make this

Shannon:
he was

Shun:
thing

Shannon:
Buddy. Ha ha ha.

Shun:
try to do be beyond trying to do like key sweat make it last forever

Shannon:
make it last forever no God was like if you don't get your you don't get your narrow behind back down south you gonna

Shun:
And

Shannon:
see

Shun:
back on

Shannon:
something

Shun:
the path back on the path

Shannon:
and back

Shun:
that

Shannon:
on the

Shun:
I

Shannon:
path

Shun:
put you on

Shannon:
exactly

Shun:
that's alright

Shannon:
exactly

Shun:
Because again, sometimes what we want is exactly what God want for us And sometimes what we want is not in his plan for us and it

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
doesn't work unless it's in his plan You understand? So

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
I I totally feel which where you're coming from Don't we all think all of our relationships is it most you know for the most part

Shannon:
Yeah,

Shun:
you in

Shannon:
oh yeah

Shun:
love?

Shannon:
Hmm

Shun:
And he's fine and honey. This is it's and god's

Shannon:
hmm

Shun:
like Not

Shannon:
Yeah

Shun:
at all

Shannon:
Yeah, and

Shun:
Not

Shannon:
a lot

Shun:
at all

Shannon:
of people think right right and a lot of people who think that oh God is talking to me God told me you know that you know you're supposed to be with me even to this day my you know I'm married my husband's married. He's a married man, but he still has women in church coming up to him saying God told me that I'm supposed to be with you. And yeah, he's like, no, I'm already married. But it doesn't stop them from approaching him because they think that whatever in their mind is divinely destined by God and it's not. So

Shun:
It's

Shannon:
people

Shun:
destined

Shannon:
have

Shun:
by

Shannon:
to

Shun:
somebody

Shannon:
recognize.

Shun:
but it ain't God honey if he's somebody else's husband I remember reading this post back up a few years ago. They said God ain't God ain't told you nobody husband is yours, you know Like

Shannon:
Ha ha!

Shun:
so sometimes people use God, you know, and we put him on a pedestal We put him in situations he shouldn't be in and you better be careful

Shannon:
Oh, right.

Shun:
not to do that, you know

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
So if anybody's saying that honey, he's somebody else's husband honey that ain't God talking to you. It's another voice.

Shannon:
That's right, exactly.

Shun:
I mean As far back as I can recall, like even Shannon from when I was a little girl, I can think of so many reckless situations that I went through, you know, that was out of my control. Right. And it was God every single time that divinely intervened and got me back on course. But then as I grew older, I put myself in situations that didn't align with his plans for me. Yet still he protected me, you know, especially

Shannon:
Oh yeah.

Shun:
when it came to my children, you know, and the fact that we were, they were not born into healthy wholesome marriages like we discussed in You know in the importance of saying I do we all think we all not think we all know what the Bible says We all know how it

Shannon:
Hooray.

Shun:
should be done But even though I went four different times. I was not married. I was not in a healthy place with my children Nevertheless, god gave me the strength that I needed to raise all of them Even

Shannon:
Amen.

Shun:
all four of them were not even with the same man, but he still gave them the same values You know why because what he put in me? I put into them And if you

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
just keep that course, it all turns out the way that it should, you know, all the parents get along because he knows our mistakes before we make them. So if he's in it, no matter how disastrous we can make a situation when it's his plan, it'll come together.

Shannon:
Yeah, if you truly believe and if you're truly, you know, in a serious relationship with Christ. Now, you know we have messy church folks, our

Shun:
Absolutely,

Shannon:
hypocritical church folks

Shun:
absolutely.

Shannon:
that are, yeah, they're in there every Sunday passing judgment and, you know, making it hard on those who are trying to come to Christ.

Shun:
That's it and

Shannon:
They make it so hard

Shun:
That's

Shannon:
for people

Shun:
it.

Shannon:
to

Shun:
They do.

Shannon:
Yeah, yeah, to want to be part of the body of Christ and we have to stop that and, you know, passing the judgment and saying to folks, you know, whatever they're thinking or believing that is not from that is not of God. A lot of it is not of God. There are people passing their own thoughts and judgments on situations. that they have no business in.

Shun:
It's a fact.

Shannon:
And they think, yeah, and they think just because they know and can quote a few Bible verses that they are the authority over your life and what you have going on and forgetting about what God has destined for you.

Shun:
I want to add to that. It's a video going around on social media. Uh, Dietrich hadding and his wife uh celebrating his 50th birthday party in a hall that he paid his good money for minding his good business With

Shannon:
Hehehehehehe

Shun:
his friends and families and in the world of social media, of course He and his wife are dancing, you know, she's she's or I get you know, it's talking She's dancing on her husband

Shannon:
Hehehehe

Shun:
and someone got the mind and want to record it. First of all, that's messy and put it on social media I mean it was just a ray an array of things. So I just simply commented on the post Mind the business that pays you if they're dancing is offensive to you Well, he's a person of the claw. He shouldn't be doing that I said well if his dance is offensive to you don't follow him. Don't listen

Shannon:
Turn

Shun:
to his

Shannon:
it

Shun:
teachings

Shannon:
off. Right.

Shun:
But you as a Christian don't have a right that I think they and they were hit me babe with the Bible verses And I just got him one right real good. Yeah, he without saying cast the first stone

Shannon:
You

Shun:
because

Shannon:
got that right.

Shun:
Our sin may not be your their sin your sin might be them deck, but all sin is sin And then he's out with his wife dancing. Okay That's his business. That's his wife business. He won that strip

Shannon:
Mm-hmm.

Shun:
club and if he was that still his business That's between him and the lord not saying it's right

Shannon:
All

Shun:
But

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
it's not on us to pass pray for him if he wasn't

Shannon:
You

Shun:
a strip

Shannon:
got

Shun:
club

Shannon:
that?

Shun:
Oh, he might have he don't want to stray. We got to pray for him Dogging him out and dogging his wife. Oh first lady this and that first lady this and I won't call names But they recall a name what never I said because she's not them. But we don't know what

Shannon:
Hehehe

Shun:
first lady or pastor is or bishop that might be doing behind closed doors. Don't compare to people. Yeah, they're held to a higher standard. Their call is to call people to Christ. Their call is not to be perfect. They're still people, okay? So

Shannon:
Mm-hmm.

Shun:
when you see someone fall by the wayside, don't pass judgment on them. Help them. And if you can't help them, what did I say last week? Be quiet.

Shannon:
Be quiet.

Shun:
You know, but yeah, don't

Shannon:
Exactly.

Shun:
run them down. But that's that man and his wife and then someone even went on to say I think that's the lady that took him from something I'm like, so which part of Christian are you? So now we're gonna get off into the gossip We're gossiping on a post that we're complaining about this man dancing with his wife about you know what i'm saying

Shannon:
Right,

Shun:
So we

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
got to be careful shannon not to listen to what people say And listen

Shannon:
Hmm?

Shun:
to what god says because if you do that, you can't go wrong

Shannon:
Absolutely, absolutely. You cannot go wrong if you are really, truly open to following the path that God has for you. And your ears are open to what he's saying and not what you're saying, you know?

Shun:
Absolutely.

Shannon:
A lot of times we try to, well, we're human. Our flesh and, you know, who we are as human beings come to play a lot of times when we think we're after something or we want something or something is for us, we're

Shun:
Right.

Shannon:
quick to say, oh, this is God, this has got to be God because I want it so bad. And so we have to discern what is truly

Shun:
Right.

Shannon:
God and what is

Shun:
What

Shannon:
us.

Shun:
voice you're actually listening to. That's right. And then you have those people who see the favor on your life. They see the path.

Shannon:
Oh, yeah.

Shun:
Even when you are

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
here in a mess and you don't see it, they see the path that you're going. They see the favor God has placed on your life. And then they'll attack you in other ways to try to keep you from getting there. I mean, you got to

Shannon:
Alright.

Shun:
be careful. And some of these people are people that are supposed to love you. Some of these people are the closest to you. because they get that

Shannon:
Yeah!

Shun:
inside glimpse of your goodness, they get that inside glimpse of your favor. And instead of them praising you and bringing that more out in you, they start to hate on you, they start to talk about you,

Shannon:
Yeah,

Shun:
they start to ignore

Shannon:
yeah.

Shun:
you. Listen, that's why other people can try it. They can try with all their might to tear you down, ruin your relationships, attack your character, it won't succeed. I changed and came to this place of calm that I am now by constantly reminding myself. everything will work out the way it's supposed to be if I keep myself focused on the best version of me.

Shannon:
Right, right.

Shun:
Mm-hmm.

Shannon:
And one thing that I remember to do, or I shouldn't say remember, or try to remember to tell other folks, or the young people, when you're in a relationship or a marriage, like me and my husband are in right now, keeping God first and focusing on, you know, keeping him present every day, and So when me and my husband, we pray together, sometimes, you know, after you do it so long, you can kind of take it for granted or, you know,

Shun:
Yep.

Shannon:
not really be focused in, you know, it's like, oh,

Shun:
Absolutely.

Shannon:
we're praying.

Shun:
I know exactly.

Shannon:
You know, it's like taking a shower almost. It's like,

Shun:
Exactly.

Shannon:
oh, it's just a routine. This is just a routine I'm going through. But I want to... remind myself as we're talking today, Sean, to remember to keep, you know, the presence of God in our marriage and understand how to listen for his voice and not necessarily mine because, you know, his will must be done and it will be done. We know that,

Shun:
That's right.

Shannon:
but just understanding you know, that not to take things for granted and, you know, taking my prayers and like a shower or like tying my shoes or like cooking breakfast, you know, trying to remind myself to keep those

Shun:
sacred

Shannon:
talks a little special, yeah, sacred

Shun:
a little more

Shannon:
and

Shun:
sacred

Shannon:
a little special. Yeah,

Shun:
Mm-hmm.

Shannon:
yeah.

Shun:
I used to um When you say about husbands, I used to go like toe-to-toe, you know, we we talked about divine, you know design Intervention I saw a total told my husband Because you know, I'm like a grown mature, you know faithful hard worker or hard working, you know attractive woman got throw that in there Shannon, you know, that's not the basis of my

Shannon:
Hehehehe

Shun:
argument But you know, I gotta just put all my pluses out there on my resume

Shannon:
Yeeees!

Shun:
But seriously, but seriously I used to be like you're not gonna tell me I'm cute today You you're not gonna tell me that I look

Shannon:
Hehehehe

Shun:
nice. You don't like these shoes, you know I took a while to put this outfit together, you know I

Shannon:
Ha ha ha ha

Shun:
and

Shannon:
ha.

Shun:
he's looking at me like what and I used to just clown about that, right? I was determined to get some straightening and then I had to realize like all that mess was a trick of the enemy. I had this man who ran the streets for years and ran women in the streets like it was a sport, okay? He's married to me. He took his vows. He's honoring me. He takes care of my kid. He works two jobs. And I was mad that he didn't tell me my hair was nice or that he liked

Shannon:
Bye.

Shun:
my outfit. Those things are important. Don't get me wrong. You gotta make your partner feel desired, no doubt. But

Shannon:
Right,

Shun:
my point

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
is he was doing so many other things right. But all I seem to be bothering me was the small things, the things he wasn't doing. And

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
I think that was just expect and failure, Shannon. We can do that sometime.

Shannon:
Yeah. Yeah.

Shun:
Or next, you know, just mess up. I'm just thinking that's our pattern and this is gonna go wrong. Sometimes men and women do things because we're so used to losing. We don't realize when we've really won.

Shannon:
Oh,

Shun:
And that's

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
what we have to be careful of when we talk about our design and I mean, our divinely. Design that were divinely designed by God. I'm

Shannon:
Exactly.

Shun:
sorry. I lost my words,

Shannon:
Excellent.

Shun:
but

Shannon:
No, excellent point.

Shun:
Yeah, that's what we have to remember because we're so used to losing we don't realize we've won and that's a that's the end The mindset the enemy wants to keep you in you talk about prayer and okay. It's just a routine He's the he's divinely making it just a routine. So it loses his stock here You are thinking

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
me and my husband are praying, you know, we're praying we're doing good. Why do things keep going wrong? Because if your prayer is just a routine, if it's just a part of your day, have we put any stock into it? Have we even really gotten God's

Shannon:
Yeah,

Shun:
attention or did we just

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
stop and say a few words and I'm guilty of that myself Just like I'm guilty of was guilty, you know now That I'm remembering it's already done. He's took his vows He showed

Shannon:
already

Shun:
up at the

Shannon:
done

Shun:
altar again after I

Shannon:
yeah

Shun:
divorced him the first time he showed up at the altar again because he wanted to do this thing. If he didn't want to do this thing, you know, him telling me my hair is not right or my shoes is, I mean, my hair is not good looking or my shoes aren't

Shannon:
Hehehehehehe

Shun:
nice or my outfit don't look well. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to be my husband. That's the devil

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
using trickery because if you've gotten all this other stuff right, let me nitpick at the little things. So we have to remember when we've won to just accept the victory and let God deal

Shannon:
right.

Shun:
with the rest of it.

Shannon:
Absolutely. Love that.

Shun:
You know, I live in such a good place in my spirit since I realized that God will show your husband the correct way to love you He'll show your kids how to honor you and keep them on the right path Even at our jobs, you know, he'll teach people that we work with how to appreciate us more those are things we can't control and you can't control any

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
of that and Anything and every little thing, you know isn't worth addressing, you know and our life love marriage Too much energy is expended sometimes trying to change people's minds or make them see things our way, or prove people wrong. You know, when you heard something negative about you, you know, my mama used to say, a lie don't care who tell it.

Shannon:
You got that right.

Shun:
Now y'all know I'm country so y'all don't understand some of these sayings, you know, keep living or you know me and Shannon Email us at wifeyandbabymama and we'll break down We'll break it down for you. We might have to dedicate a whole show to my saying shannon

Shannon:
I know,

Shun:
Because

Shannon:
I know,

Shun:
because we

Shannon:
we

Shun:
country

Shannon:
do.

Shun:
girls they might not understand it but I don't care who tell it means A lie people just laugh for no good reason at all just to get attention just to get reactions just assassinate your character assassination from this episode what we want you guys to carry in your spirit from this day and for the rest of your Lives as your lives are divinely designed no matter what people

Shannon:
Yes.

Shun:
may do What they

Shannon:
Yes.

Shun:
may say what we may do to ourselves if we stay

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
cold I'm close to that and keep a clean heart not a perfect heart because none of us are perfect But if we keep a clean heart and see God every day, we will always come out on the winning side

Shannon:
You got, yeah, that's exactly right. And to remember to, even if you don't understand, you know, where he's leading you, like when I woke up in Buffalo and, you know, was told

Shun:
Mm-hmm.

Shannon:
to, you know,

Shun:
Mm-hmm.

Shannon:
get back to Charlotte, even if you don't understand the direction that he's sending you, trust in him

Shun:
Trust

Shannon:
and have

Shun:
him.

Shannon:
faith. Oh my gosh, have the faith, you know, that. you're not going to be led astray. You're not going to be led down a path that would cause you harm because he already has a plan for your life and you cannot do this life without him.

Shun:
Absolutely not. Absolutely not girlfriend. And

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
I think that you've let me off into my red line for today.

Shannon:
Are we ready for the red lines? Yes.

Shun:
All right, and continuing when I blow up the conversation and what Shannon just finished off with on our dialogue, the red line topic for today is God doesn't need our help. Family, if we don't need to manipulate, set traps, worst of all use trickery to get someone to be with us or a situation to work out in our favor. We only need to follow God's word. It's all theirs young jesus can say I don't know if I should refer to young jesus

Shannon:
Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

Shun:
and god in the same sentence But and some folks that can relate, you know Y'all know i'm ho i'm holy but i'm always be a little hood too. You know, that's just that's

Shannon:
You

Shun:
just

Shannon:
got

Shun:
my nature

Shannon:
that right.

Shun:
But our goal is to reach everyone, you know, so we're gonna give everybody a little

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
something But we're gonna always give you jesus because that's always the answer But I like to use a reference that you know, everyone can relate to because some people don't know about god Some people don't know about his goodness, but it's our prayer that when this show is over that we've helped someone learn that. We're not just saved and sanctified, you know, we're not just preaching to the perfect people because, you know, it's not well people that need hospitals, it's sick people. So it's not

Shannon:
Thanks,

Shun:
saved

Shannon:
guys.

Shun:
people that necessarily need this show, it's the unsaved people. We, of course, we welcome unsaved people. We need all the support we can get, you know, and send us some encouraging words, email, but we definitely wanna reach the people who are not saved. And if that's gonna turn you off from listening, I don't know if this show is for you, but. God is isn't the only the foundation of our relationships. He's the foundation to life So if you

Shannon:
Right.

Shun:
are not a believer, I want you to understand when you hear our stories and discuss our divine moments Know that was all god and he can do it for you, too I mean, oh I got a little sidetrack now. I want to go to church. I think almost got me shan, but uh To finish

Shannon:
Yes!

Shun:
off my red line to finish off my life Let your spirit attract what you're supposed to have Because

Shannon:
Yeah.

Shun:
what we put out? What we could get back and God has already set up our good thing. It's already there. It's already ready So just do your part and being a good person every day live in peace and Expectation that all things he have in store for you. No matter what someone may try to do or interfere with God is gonna take care of you. It's gonna all it's all there. It's gonna all

Shannon:
It's

Shun:
end. Well

Shannon:
on there. Yes.

Shun:
Almost what the church Shannon you got anything you better take it

Shannon:
You could go to church.

Shun:
You

Shannon:
Oh,

Shun:
better

Shannon:
I would

Shun:
take

Shannon:
love

Shun:
it.

Shannon:
it. Take it to church, Sean.

Shun:
Ha!

Shannon:
Yes, yes, God does not need our help because as we've said throughout this episode, it's already done. It's already planned. It's already destined. So you can try to skirt around things. You can try to. You know, you know do your own thing and make your own way or whatever um

Shun:
you're

Shannon:
and

Shun:
gonna still end up

Shannon:
get

Shun:
where were you supposed to be

Shannon:
Where you're

Shun:
and

Shannon:
supposed

Shun:
his plan

Shannon:
to be

Shun:
for you.

Shannon:
yeah. Yeah, so don't get sidetracked and um Let people try to Tell you you're going the wrong way when you're listening to you know god If you're listening

Shun:
to his

Shannon:
to yourself,

Shun:
voice

Shannon:
then yeah, when you're

Shun:
then

Shannon:
listening

Shun:
you can be

Shannon:
to

Shun:
yeah

Shannon:
his

Shun:
yeah

Shannon:
voice.

Shun:
you can use a little

Shannon:
But if

Shun:
direction

Shannon:
you're listening.

Shun:
if you listen to yourself but if you listen

Shannon:
Yes.

Shun:
to God

Shannon:

All right, so now we're off to a segment I like to call. the fictional family I'm feeling. And the fictional family I'm feeling this week, or families, I'm calling the Waynes. So, Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert from a different world. So, everyone remembers the iconic scene where Whitley was about to marry Byron. and Dwayne steps up in the middle of the ceremony because as Whitley and Byron are standing in front of the minister in the ceremony with all their friends and family they're looking on, you can see everyone is so excited that she's marrying this, I think he was a politician. So the minister asks, you know her if she accepts him in the holy state of matrimony and all of that and sickness and health or whatever and Whitley's not saying anything and so Byron's like Whitley and she says huh and he says this is your cue to say I will and she's still not saying anything and he's like baby say something speak up she's not saying anything. The next voice you hear is Dwayne. And he says, Whitley, will you have me, Dwayne? The same words that the minister had just spoken, for Byron, Dwayne is saying, will you have me as your lawfully wedded husband from this day forth, to have a hold of so on and so off. And there's a pause and she's looking and she says, I do. And... they're like, but to whom is she saying I do? Because the minister has said

Shun:
Right?

Shannon:
it. And then here's Dwayne. They're like, who are you saying to? I do too. And she turns to Byron and she says, I'm sorry, Byron. And her mother is so upset. She's like, no, because she just wanted Dwayne to go away and just

Shun:
Yes.

Shannon:
die. She just knew her daughter was going to be with this

Shun:
Finally

Shannon:
rich

Shun:
away

Shannon:
politician.

Shun:
from that man. Yes.

Shannon:
Yes, because she chose this rich politician. And at the end of the day, Whitley chose, you know, Dwayne.

Shun:
follow her.

Shannon:
And yeah, followed her heart. So the minister said, I'm, I'm, or he said, I'm Dwayne. You know, I'm supposed to be with you. And that was their divine destiny, even though her mother thought she should be with Byron. You know that she would be she should be with this politician her divine destiny was with the Wayne Wayne so off My hats off to the Wayne Gilbert's as the fictional family that I am feeling this week
