Today my two friends, who've never met before, are getting married.
My name is Dennis, and I'm building a dating app where you can only match with mutual friends.
So that I can meet this girl I was too scared to talk to at a party.
It's as dumb as it sounds. We're two videos in and mystery girl still hasn't signed up.
But not all is lost. A lot of you really liked the matchmaker feature from my last video.
Where you can set two of your friends up with each other. I recently used it to matchmake two of my friends, Gabi and Theo.
And they really hit it off. So I begged them to let me plan their first date. They stupidly agreed.
So I put five of my best date ideas on this giant wheel and let the wheel decide. And it looks like for their first date, they'll be getting married.
So here's the plan. First things first, we need people at this wedding. So my friend Ben made 110 invitations and sent them to everyone we know.
Making the poster, bro.
Next up, the supplies. Did I mention that we only had 7 hours until the wedding? So we had to race across town to pick up only the essentials. We got a keg.
Decorations. Every wedding needs LED lights. We even got cake. We even got a couple of costumes. Ring bear, priest.
We were making great time until a massive winter storm. Catastrophic storm and strong winds. Chaos on the roads. We had one hour left until the wedding, and we were halfway across town in the largest snowstorm to ever hit North America.
But love was on our side.
Because against all odds, we made it with 20 minutes to spare. Just enough time to set everything up before people arrive. It was actually starting to look pretty good.
People were showing up and taking their seats. The bridesmaids and groomsmen got into position. But before the ceremony could begin, I had Gabi and Theo sign an inconspicuous video consent form. Oh wait? That video consent form was secretly a marriage contract!
And what's this? A few weeks ago, I got officially ordained and became a licensed minister. Yes. Gabi and Theo were getting legally married on their first date.
