- Right, he put you on the back burner.
- Yeah.
- I'm going to tell you, shaquille, one thing that just
Is not settled for me is making sure
That you are intentional about this marriage and kirsten.
She was very intentional about this process.
She wanted to be married.
She wants children.
So I just want to make sure that this is what you truly
Believe was the means you had to go through to find
Your wife and to be married.
And I just-- I'm not quite settled
Right now with where I am.
- I would agree.
I didn't seek out this opportunity.
I saw the ads.
I saw the billboards and everything else.
And I was like, no.
But it kept appearing.
Like, this is what--
I think our lives is already preordained.
And for me, it's kind of like it just fell in my lap.
- It seems like everything is coming to you.
What if kirsten doesn't come right to you?
What if she doesn't warm up right to you right away?
What happens when y'all get back from the honeymoon
And she's super reserved?
How do you plan on dealing with that, if she doesn't
Land right in your lap?
- I think it's all about balance.
Like, we're learning each other.
Even though our families mesh together,
We may not mesh together.
And we have to build that bond between us.
- Well, I'm hesitant because we don't know if it's,
I want to say the right things,
I want to show up and be the guy that I want kirsten to be,
Instead of being the real shaquille that we would
Never know because, you know, he's a stranger.
- You have be very careful of who you let into your heart.
And so she will be a little hesitant and slow.
But as you be consistent,
She's going to bloom like a flower.
But you're going to be the driver in that,
