Re: Rachel Lindsay & Bryan Abasolo - FAN Forum - Discussion - #3

@SelmaHB Aw, they're both such gorgeous couples! I loved his caption too - "time to lock down a 2 for 1 special @rosettastone", haha. I do wonder if Rachel is going to work on improving her Spanish at all. It would be sweet if she did!

At the proposal B told R that she was so easy to love, but I think Bryan is also easy to love. The way he blended in with her friends and family, meant to be indeed!!

In one of their interviews, Rachel was saying how she didn't think someone like Bryan would be on her season, who just checked all her boxes. I'm so glad he was. I honestly don't know what Rachel would have done had Bryan not been on her season. I think it would have been a very different post-show aftermath IMO.

Since Rachel loves Justin Bieber, they should have played (and maybe they did) Despacito (feat. Justin Bieber) at the engagement party, and had Bryan sing the Spanish lyrics to her. Very sexy song, too!!  That should be "their song", !  

Hey, Rachel and Bryan, play that song at the Miami party, and Bryan start learning the lyrics!

Rachel, put Duolingo on your phone and start learning Spanish. Just takes a few minutes a day! I love Duolingo!!

I'm still getting caught up on everything, because so much. And that is not a complaint, keep it coming, R&B. Lol.

But a few thought bubbles as I continue to get caught up.

1. I missed the Extra interview where Rachel said she'd never been the girl to picture her fairytale wedding, but that now... she kind of feels like she might be that girl to imagine her fairytale wedding. And then she goes on to say she doesn't have a dress picked out. Say, what? Without qualifying it with she doesn't want to wear a dress or anything? Fairytale wedding and a dress? Oh, I see.

I think a couple of you had kind of noted or completely noted how much Rachel, with Bryan, embraces certain aspects of herself that she may have kept more guarded in the past, and if this revelation winds up coming to fruition, with her now wanting a fairytale wedding and dress--this will just be another example. The girl who doesn't want to wear a dress or have the dream wedding... all of a sudden thinks she might be feeling that? Love and the right person will change the game all up. Lol.

2. I don't know how I missed the second part of the "jail mail" stuff, but that is hilarious. Even funnier is that Rachel is serving him side eye when he says she's "too embarrassed" and he's totally immune to it and unfazed and is basically like, "ANYWAY... I'mma make this happen for y'all. Stay tuned." Lulz. I love it. Seriously cracks me up that he doesn't care a bit that she's looking at him like wtf. They slay me.

3. That Rosetta Stone caption is hilarious. I can't even. In the Essence interview, the topic of Rachel working on her Spanish came up, and she seemed to have been slacking, Bryan calls her out, but it also sounded like she admitted she'd started practicing with him and was going to learn now. She was saying she was using "excuses" before the season ended. Now she doesn't have any. Lol. I hope she does learn, because if Bryan was already giving her a Spanish-English dictionary before they got engaged? That was a strong hint about what he'd probably prefer-- her to learn. And quite honestly, I don't even see Rachel loving, loving, loving situations where she can't understand what's going on around her, especially if and when it comes to them having children-- who I would put money down on being bi-lingual. Go ahead and start learning now, sis. Lol.

It's always a good thing to learn another language IMHO. I have a cousin, Italian background who married a Spanish girl. Over the years, they are both fluent in each of their respective languages. They speak Italian when they are together with our side of the family, and speak Spanish when they are with her side of the family.

About the wedding dress, she didn't want a ring either and she got the most gorgeous ring I've ever seen. I'm more traditional, I would love to see her in a traditional bridal gown.

[composer53]

She wants to wear a white tuxedo, I believe, she said in one of their interviews.

[makeover]

Rachel better start picking up Spanish because you just know Olga will speak to their future grandchildren in Spanish. Heh.

I think Rachel will wear a beautiful gown in the end. Rachel deems herself to be stubborn but from everything I've observed of her, she's not THAT stubborn.

[likeashipblown]

@composer53 Yes, she's definitely mentioned wanting to wear a white tux of some sort in multiple interviews, you're right. But in her Extra interview, she said while she hadn't been the girl who wanted the fairytale wedding stuff, now she kind of felt like maybe she was that girl and she went on to say she hadn't started to pick out a dress, unprompted. So, I'm not sure if we can be sure she has totallllllly ruled out a dress.

About the wedding dress, she didn't want a ring either and she got the most gorgeous ring I've ever seen. laugh out loud I'm more traditional, I would love to see her in a traditional bridal gown.

Lol. This is true. She didn't want the ring, just bands, but then when Bryan went to ask her what she wanted in a ring, all of a sudden she had a list of things she wanted her ring to be, complete with dainty band, and a single stone, and blah, blah, blah. So cute.

I sort of get the vibe from Rachel that she thinks she's way more of a tomboy and all else than she actually she is. She said in one of her interviews that Bryan brings a lot of things out in her, and I kind of feel like... Rings, all of a sudden maybe wanting to wear a dress, all of a sudden being able to picture and want a fairytale wedding... I think he just brings to the surface things she'd been too afraid, too guarded, or too stuck in the phase before she blossomed to realize... they could all be hers. I think we'll sort of continue to see this transition in her, in some capacity. She's not changing, just letting certain things... surface. At least as I see her.

And you know, if she is starting to feel like she wants the fairytale and dress (per her Extra interview), maybe she wears a dress for the ceremony and an awesome tux or suit for the after party or vice versa? Honestly, I can see her rocking a dress for the ceremony, tbh, I really can, but I can't see it being the most traditional-- other than white. Lol.

[Kashathediva]

It's funny, but sometimes you never know, until you know, just like the ring. Sometimes it takes the right person to bring out certain things in you that you didn't realize existed.  
I have heard mention that Rachel said she was not the pretty sister or something to that effect, but I disagree. I think she is the pretty sister and unfortunately she lived under that self perception for a long time. Either way, I hope now that she has her own prince she will flourish in that special pretty feeling for a long, long time. She wears it well.
