The can I  be your flower girl question

How freakin cute is that! I wouldn't be surprised if some of those kids who Ben holds dear to his heart were involved in the wedding. I wish someone took the whole video , someone posted a picture of Lauren and Ben sitting on the stage there with the mic's in hand which looked like they were both speaking to the crowd. Would be nice to see the whole event on video. If anyone finds it please post here. TIA

Someone in Twitter asked and tagged Ben and Lauren if they will accept an offer to join The Amazing Race if they get the offer. I would love to watch them be in the show!! Lauren loves to travel and we'll see how Ben can rise up to the challenge of "getting it together" (Lauren mentioned in the Conde Nast podcast that this is how she would sum up their New York trip getting lost together). Maybe next year would be best once they're settled in. Let's make this happen!

I actually don't think they're living in the bubble that much anymore

^^^^

IMO the bubble bursts as soon as everyone gets a good night's sleep, stops drinking, isn't getting taken aside every waking moment to answer producer's questions with a camera rolling, and there's no longer someone manipulating you with "you're going to have beautiful babies" words of encouragement. What they are doing now - spending time with parents / friends is not a test or hurdle that has to be overcome - that's the fun part of things and the reward for jumping all the hurdles to get to this point - as long as what you have is real.

They're such a new couple but have gone through and had to deal with issues many couples don't have deal for in many years of their relationship. They're at the honeymoon stage but not really. It's such a weird environment to get together, everything happens in a really messed up order.

IMO Ben and Lauren seem to be pretty organised with their schedule. I think in Portland they'll do more 'their' stuff instead of events. I think Ben really wanted to give back to Warsaw, hence so many events and charity opportunities.

I'm really liking this long weekend that Ben and Lauren are spending with all the parents around. To the extent these two accept advice from parents, they will have had a good opportunity to get to know one another and the parents will have had a chance to see Ben and Lauren as a couple, but also see how they fit into the families. And I really like that this first extended meeting with the parents (because after all, the MTF dates don't really give lots of insight) is with both sets together. It will put both families on equal footing.

I was initially quite surprised - and then very quickly pleased - to learn that Lauren's parents had traveled to Warsaw to spend this week (and maybe weekend) with Ben, Lauren and Ben's parents. This is a couple in which (IMHO) parents have had a deep influence on their children - leaving Lauren wanting a father for her children just like her father had been for her - and Ben wanting the kind of loving marriage he saw his mother has to his father. I think it's a very positive reinforcement for both Ben and Lauren to have both sets of parents together and better understanding what their children have found and interact with them. IMO they should feel very proud of their offspring - they certainly have a good reason to be.

I also think Ben & Lauren want to have kids sooner rather then later too. YA figure by the time they get married Ben will be nearing 29 , if they travel a bit we're at 30 by the time the babies start coming he's 31. That's could be one reason that they do not want to put off a wedding ,also if they are planning on televising it im sure abc will want to rap it up within 9-12 months while the Iron is still hot and before bachelor nation is swooning over the next Bachelor. I give Ben alot of credit for not doing DWTS it shows how serious he is about giving the relationship the time it needs right now, but Ben & Lauren will have to kind of keep themselves out there for the fans between now & the wedding . I expect to see alot of them on SM &  im sure they'll get numerous offers, advertising,charity events ect .in fact they may get more offers then any other couples , Ben is def model material & Lauren has great style too,and both have personality . I think these two can really reap in the $ benefits from this show. Will be interesting to see what the future holds for these two, I'm predicting they will do well.  jmo
