- No, let them hear you,

please, say-- - No, you're so good.

- No, say something nice. - Come on.

- He's shy.

Okay, to my husband I've been married to for two months

in one week.

It's been the best two months in one week ever.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Welcome to Love Like!

A show about what love looks like today.

- And today we're your hosts!

Patrick and Paolo!

- Welcome to our home! - Yay, this is where we live.

Here's out living room-- - Family room.

Here's out kitchen-- - That's our dining room.

- Sorry, dining room, so what's, oh yeah.

- That's our kitchen.

You know you're a real Oprah fan if you have

a vision board, especially if you have two vision boards,

then you're like a hardcore Oprah fan.

One of these was supposed to be mine and one of these

was supposed to be his, but his visions are much grander

so he's taking-- - Wait, he has no vision!

You have, what is your vision, you have no vision!

- Take turns describing how you first met,

only one sentence at a time.

- Patrick massaged me.

- I was a massage therapist.

- And I went to go get a 25 minutes massage on my back.

- So I went into the quiet room and I said, "Paolo?"

and then he came out.

- I wasn't sure is Patrick was straight or gay when I

first met him, so I had to go back for a second massage.

- And then he came back for a third massage,

and after that third massage--

- I knew he was gay.

That sounds really bad!

No just, no because, I just knew.

- The rest is history.

- We're soul mates.

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

I kind of knew for a couple months that I wanted to get

Patrick rings.

I finally had surprised him when we took a trip to

San Francisco and that's where it all started.

(upbeat music)

- We were, like, playing around making videos and he

takes hi book bag off and puts it down and he's like dancing

on the train 'cause we're the only ones in there.

- Oh my God, this is so cool, we're in San Francisco,

I'm so happy!

What can go wrong?

- We get on the bar, we're like half way to the city

and then all of a sudden Paolo's like--

- No! My book bag!

He's like, "It's okay, it's okay!"

I'm like, "No it's not okay, like oh my God!"

- We finally find out that it's at the police station

in the air port.

- The thought they had to close the airport because

they thought I had some kind of bomb.

And I even told security 'cause he said,

"What's in your book bag?"

And I said the only thing I have in my book bag is

Oprah Magazine and then a watch.

- I was like, "We'll get you a new Oprah Magazine,

"it's okay."

- I didn't want to tell anyone about the rings because

I didn't want, like, this is like the one thing I worked

so hard to surprise him!

- He was straight up lying to them so I wouldn't know.

- I had one of our close friends, I text her,

I said, "Hey can you call Patrick?

"I need him distracted 'til I talk with security."

- So then I get on the phone with her and she's like,

"Oh my God, did you hear the new Britney album?

"I love track one, did you listen to track three?"

And I'm like panicking 'cause I'm like they're arresting

Paolo and then I hang up on her and then the door closes

and I'm like stuck outside by myself.

- The apologized to me and said that they found the book

bag and that it was okay.

But it was one of the scariest days of my life

because I did not want to lose the rings.

Like, how could I do that?

On March 13 of 2011, whem we went to the restaurant.

- When we walked in they were like,

"Oh, we have your table ready."

We have a beautiful view, we have our dinner,

we have wine, it's so beautiful and lovely.

- But I'm not really listening to him,

I just kept nodding my head because I kept thinking

about the rings and if this is all gonna work out.

- And then they come out with dessert.

- The waitress comes a box of rings on each dish,

one for me and one for Patrick.

I knew that this, this is the moment that I've been

waiting for.

We unwrap the box and then I just said that I want him,

when we can in the state of California,

I want him to be my husband.

- I feel like I kind of, maybe, didn't give the reaction

he wanted.

- I thought he'd be like, "Oh my God,

"this is so beautiful!"

- I just kept saying, "What are you doing?

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

- He was just like, "Oh my God, what's happening right now?"

- My parents got divorced when I was in college so I was

kind of like, "Marriage is stupid, whatever."

- After I declared my love for him and why he means

the world to me, our conversation, kind of, it shifted.

- I just, kind of, told him exactly what I was feeling,

the anxiety about the idea of marriage.

- Once we started talking about it, that kind of like,

he just came back to us and the relationship

and what it means.

- It's not about being perfect, it's just about, you know,

being hopeful and giving it a shot and, you know,

seeing what happens.

- Our good friend Jameson's mom gave us these pillows

'cause-- - For our wedding.

- For our wedding, do you get it?

Mister-- - And mister.

If I sit on the end of this bed to put my shoe on,

he yells at me.

- That's not, okay, it's just because it's so much

work fixing this damn bed!

I am so organized in our home,

we are so very neat.

I Swiffer the floor every day, I Windex, I Pledge,

I clean.

- Knowing him now, when he first came to my apartment

that I lived in when we met, I'm like,

"How did you not break up with me?"

Because I had, like, stacks of mail all over the place.

- Oh my God, his room was so dirty!

Piles of dirty clothes, his bathroom had junk.

Can he hear me say this?

- The fact that he stayed with me through that,

that's pretty good.

- If you can change one thing about me,

you would change?

- I would just make you a little more confident

'cause you should be confident,

you have nothing to be insecure about.

Your favorite thing about me is blank?

- That's easy!

Your smile.

Your favorite thing about me is?

- How much you make me laugh. - Aww.

I don't really want to know this.

My worst habit is?

(Patrick laughs)

- Um, like, the way you eat.

It's really messy.

(humming)

You're gonna break my teeth with that.

- That's how he eats.

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

- I do not spend any time in the kitchen.

- And he's telling you the truth.

- The kitchen scares me, I go in there and I get water

and I get out immediately.

We've been together for eight years and I've never

helped him bake once, ever.

Is that true? - It's scary.

So I'm basically in a cage and I can't see anything,

and where are you, Patrick?

- I'm in the kitchen!

- I'm going to be telling Patrick how to make these cookies.

So this is my recipe, and it's pretty easy to make, for me,

and for Patrick it's gonna be pretty difficult, I think.

- Oh my God.

- First thing you have to do is pre-heat the oven to 350.

- Does that mean where it says bake?

- Yes, just press 350, enter. - Okay.

Oh good, yeah.

- So now what we're gonna do is we're gonna do

our dry ingredients first.

- My God, okay.

- So measure 3/4 of a cup of flour.

Now when you open it, be careful, 'cause it's gonna

make a lot of mess 'cause it's a new bag,

so open it very carefully.

- Okay.

- What are you doing? - Nothing.

- Open the baking soda. - Okay.

- There's like four spoons, get the one that says 1/2,

one slash two.

- Half a teaspoon.

- You're gonna do 1/4 of a teaspoon of salt.

- That's so weird. - Mix the dry ingredients

together. - Like with my hands?

- No, with your hands? That's disgusting!

Just with a spoon or something, whisk.

- Whisk? - Yeah.

- Is that what you said?

- You know what-- - I know what a whisk is.

- So mix it, now put that on the side.

Do you see the butter? - Yeah.

- So half a cup of butter, that whole stick.

- I feel like Paula Dean.

- Now you see the peanut butter?

- Yeah. - Okay so we need a half

a cup of that, that you're gonna mix with the butter.

- So disgusting.

- I don't know how you're doing,

but it doesn't sound right.

You see the brown sugar and the white sugar?

- Yeah. - Yeah, use a half a cup.

- Of what? - The sugar.

- The white sugar? - Yes, the white sugar.

- Okay so then where does that go?

- It goes into the bowl with the butter

and the peanut butter.

Okay, now you're gonna do the light brown sugar,

you're gonna put a half a cup of that.

- Just trying to clean as I go.

- See the little, the bottle, that beautiful looks like

a woman's body, the vanilla?

- Yes. - You can add one teaspoon

of that, and now you're gonna mix the ingredients.

- Don't you need liquid in there or something?

- Don't ask questions, just keep going.

Get whatever you have in front of you that's clean

and put a cup of the oats.

- Where do I put them? - On the floor,

where do you think you're gonna put them?

Did you really put them on the floor?

- I'm just following your directions.

- Were you gonna roll the dough on the floor?

Why would you put it on the floor?

- You told me to put it on the floor.

Okay one cup, in the bowl you said?

- Yes, in the bowl.

With the orange spatula, mix it.

I'm not cleaning this kitchen after,

that's all I know.

- This is exhausting.

- Fill up that teaspoon.

You're gonna do, like, three lines of four.

- So now what?

- While that's baking for 10 minutes and the timer's on,

you're gonna make the filling.

So let's try to-- - We have filling?

So three tablespoons of butter?
