Im really excited. Its not friday. You know why im thinking tuesday . Thats when i watched Rob Gronkowskis presser. Were excited to get to that with him. That presser was quite emotional. Sort of surprising. He revealed something not a lot of us knew, that serious injury that led to him retiring at just 29 years old. An injury that happened in the super bowl. Yeah. A lot of questions for him so well be talking to him. But first, we begin with Tropical Storm dorian on the move, and those new fears this morning that it could hit the u. S. As a hurricane. Its already caused damage in the caribbean and heading towards puerto rico right now. And overnight President Trump approved an Emergency Declaration for the island. Rob marciano starts us off with the very latest. Good morning, rob. Good morning, michael. This is what it did to martinique when it was a smaller, weaker storm. Look at the flooding there. A passenger bus. Hopefully everybody got out of there okay. That is just 4 inches of rainfall so got a lot of rain, it will have a lot of wind and getting into prime time for Hurricane Season so we got not one but two storms to speak of. Well deal with erin later. More concerning is dorian right now, still 80 miles from st. Croix, the u. S. Virgin islands will be impacted. Tropical storm warnings for the British Virgin islands and all of puerto rico for 70mileanhour winds especially on the east side. Once it goes past puerto rico later on tonight and tomorrow in through friday. By saturday its a category 1 in the southwestern waters of the atlantic where its very warm, category 2 by saturday night sunday and sometime sunday night into monday anywhere from miami up towards savannah, maybe even the carolinas. I want to show you the Spaghetti Models and give you an idea of what the computer models are saying. Theyre not in good agreement. Once we get out into the later periods here. A lot of uncertainty as it goes towards the u. S. Coastline but likely to be at least a hurricane as it gets closer. First things first though, lets go to puerto rico live where Victor Oquendo is with us. You were with me during Hurricane Maria two years ago. What is going on today . Reporter good morning, rob. We are on the southern part of the island. We wanted to see how people outside san juan were preparing for the storm. We found neighborhoods full of homes not ready to withstand whatever dorian brings. Overnight, heavy winds and rai touching down on martinique leaving washed out roads throughout the island. This morning the people of puerto rico on edge. Still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Maria which struck the island nearly two years ago. Packing 155mileperhour winds killing nearly 3,000 people. The whole island has been traumatized. So you have to take that into consideration. Reporter 26,000 Puerto Ricans still living under blue tarp roofs. We were invited inside this home. You can actually see what the original roof looked like in this home. Part of that blue tarp is peeking in. Fema says they are far more prepared than 2017 stocking warehouses around the island like this one with vital supplies at the ready. Fema took ay aggr stance for dorian. Its the first system of the year and we understand that the island is still very fragile. Reporter last night the governor said officials were 90 ready for dorian and would make their final preparations today. Time is quickly running out. Tom . And those blue tarp homes so dangerous. Victor, thanks for that. The storm is hitting travel hard as we head to a holiday weekend. Airlines canceling flights and cruise lines rerouting their ships. Alex perez is in punta cana. Theyre bracing for dorians effects. Alex, good morning. Reporter hey, good morning, tom. Thanks to dorian already some major problems for travelers trying to get in and out of the caribbean. Take a look behind me here. You can see the airport here in punta cana is still open. Some travelers trying to get out of here this morning, but all of the airlines already issuing waivers for those travelers who are being forced to reschedule their flights, and its not just in the air. Royal caribbean rerouting a number of its cruise ships. Those ships now taking a more western caribbean route to avoid any impact from the storm. Cecilia . Okay, alex, thank you. Overnight President Trump approved that Emergency Declaration just as we are about to hit the peak of Hurricane Season, we are now learning the president wants to take more than 155 million from fema and use that money in his fight against illegal immigration. Our Senior National correspondent terry moran has more from the white house. Terry, the outcry was swift on this one. Democrats say this is going to drain funding for disaster relief. Reporter thats right. They say its a bad tradeoff. It came as a surprise. Its 155 million from fema and 271 million from the department of Homeland Security altogether going down to the border. Thats a lot of money and the Administration Says its necessary, its needed to deal with the huge influx of people coming to the southern border. Its going to be used to provide detention beds and hearing facilities and transportation costs in a situation where those facilities are already overcrowded and resources are strained right through. But democrats say this tradeoff could have deadly consequences. Yeah, theres going to be definitely a fight over this one. Terry, one more immigration headline before we go this morning. This is from the washington po reporting that President Trump is in a real race to finish his border wall before the 2020 election. Theres even talk that he could possibly seize some private land to make this happen . Reporter well, thats always been in the cards, cecilia. The government has the power of imminent domain. But theres no question President Trump is bringing it bright to the edge. This is, of course, his Central Campaign promise. It is still a rallying cry, as you know, at all his rallies and wants it done and wants 500 miles of border wall by election day. Right now theres only about 60 done, and hes pushing hard. He has even said he will pardon federal officials who break the law in order to get it done. His aides say hes joking but hes not joking about getting it done. They also confirm one other thing, he wants the wall painted black and wants it to be spiky on top. Black so that its hot to the touch in the sun along the border. Cecilia . Hes very concerned about that aesthetic. Thank you very much. Now to a possible blockbuster deal in the works. A source telling abc news Purdue Pharma is offering a massive package to end the lawsuits against the company over its role in the opioid epidemic. Steve osunsami joins us from atlanta with the details. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning to you, michael. This is getting expensive for the drugmakers. If this deal goes through, it would cover treatments for addicted americans. This morning, the drug manufacturer who according to the government makes one of the most common painkillers involved in prescription opioid deaths is offering a potential deal, Purdue Pharma makers of oxycontin is willing to settle more than 2,000 lawsuits that the drugmaker is currently facing related to opioid addictions. A source tells abc news purdue offered a package that could be worth up to 10 billion to 12 billion. In a statement the company explains that while Purdue Pharma is prepared to defend itself vigorously in the opioid litigation, it sees little good coming from years of wasteful litigation and appeals. The New York Times is reporting that as part of the proposed settlement, that members of the Sackler Family who own the drugmaker would give up their stake in the company and pay 3 billion of their own money. Do you believe purdues marketing was overly aggressive . No. Reporter this is all coming out after the release of this 2015 video testimony from former chairman and president dr. Richard sackler. Do you know whether oxycontin is more powerful or less powerful a drug than morphine . Depends what you mean by powerful. If powerful means potency, absolutely. It is twice as potent as morphine. Reporter the members of the Sackler Family who own the company made billions developing and selling oxycontin. Purdue pharma says it is working actively with top state officials and plaintiffs across multiple states to get a deal done. Tom . Again, more than 2,000 cases. All right, steve, thanks very much. Now to the fight to save the amazon. This morning, concern is growing over how the fires and smoke can affect peoples lungs, including children as more residents report respiratory problems. This as the battle rages on over funding to fight the flames. Matt gutman is on the front lines with the very latest. Matt, good morning. Reporter tom, good morning. It rained here a little overnight yet you can still smell the smoke in the air. That has increased a sense of urgency with brazils president seeming to argue with european leaders because hes unhappy about how donations have been offered here. This morning as fires continue to rip through the amazon, World Leaders are butting heads. After rejecting a pledge of 22 million in aid by frances president , emmanuel macron, and g7 nations, the brazilian president insisting his government will find a solution to give the world satisfaction. Brazilian officials said perhaps the money would be better served reforesting europe. This as President Trump tweeted his support for bolsonaro known as the trump of bolsonaro chiming in, accusing the, quote, Fake News Media of distorting brazils fire control efforts including its deployment of troops to the fire lines. New drone video showing miles of torched forest, a once lush landscape now eerie and smothered in ash. Satellite images capturing thousands of acres of scorched earth. And on the ground, we saw those fires terrifying speed outside of this ranch on the border of brazil and bolivia. You can see its chewing up not only the dry brush but those palm trees are acting like kindling. The smoke and flame swallowing that. We doubled back to check on the rancher and through the haze there he was. But this morning, concern in parts of brazil over smoke inhalation. In some places reported respiratory issues among children more than doubling. Its really only the massive deluges of the rainy season that will be able to put down fires like this but that is still a couple of months away. Now, scientists here are concerned that these fires will put parts of brazil past the Tipping Point making dry season last longer and permanently turning forest into savannah. Cecilia . Indeed a global threat. Okay, matt gutman, thank you. We turn to new testimony in the case of Jeffrey Epstein. More than a dozen accusers getting their day in court demanding justice despite epsteins death. Diane macedo is here with more on this. Good morning, diane. Cecelia, good morning. It was an emotional and unusual day in court. The purpose was to drop the criminal case against Jeffrey Epstein. Usually a routine matter after a death. But the judge in this case decided to have this hearing so that despite his death epsteins accusers could be heard. Reporter a dramatic day in court, more than a dozen women, accusers of multimillionairemu sex offender Jeffrey Epstein speaking out. Their message clear, epsteins dead but they still want justice. Do i feel his death was an appropriate punishment . Absolutely not. It gives nobody justice and it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Reporter among epsteins accusers, chauntae davies. All i could say was, please, no, stop, but that seemed to excite him more. Reporter she said she kept years of sexual abuse by epstein bottled up. It definitely is so empowering to have had that day today, but it still doesnt change the fact that hes not here to, you know, face the music. Reporter davies tells abc news she first met epstein after being recruited by his longtime friend Ghislaine Maxwell for a job as a masseuse. Maxwell has not been charged and has denied all wrongdoing. Its not how jeffrey died, but how he lived and we need to get to the bottom of everybody who was involved with that starting with Ghislaine Maxwell. Reporter Virginia Giuffre said maxwell recruited her as a teenager to be a sex slave to epstein and claimed epstein ordered her to have sex with some of his powerful friends, including prince andrew, something the prince has denied. He admitted his friendship with epstein but said, at no stage during the limited time i spent with him did i see, witness or suspect any behavior of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction. Outside of court, giuffre fired back. He knows exactly what he has done, and i hope he comes clean about it. Reporter prosecutors yesterday said a grand jury is already investigating epsteins death and assured the judge the government will pursue others who may have aided mr. Epstein. As for his accusers, many have already filed civil suits against his estate. Many more say they plan to. So this case overall is far from over. So much more to come. Diane, thanks. We want to take a turn overseas to some new video showing a terrifying rhino attack, and this video is incredible. Take a look at this. The zookeeper is inside that safari vehicle. She is lucky to be alive after the animal charged the car ramming it with its horn, flipping it over three times happening at a safari park in germany on sunday. Amazingly the woman that was inside that car made it out with just a few bruises. The zoo, we just got a statement, says the animal has never shown signs of aggression towards the vehicle before and it will be sent to a different zoo where he can sort of live with the herd. I have an important question. Michael,f i you had to choose between the rhino or gronk to lineup against, who are you choosing . Gronk, youre going down. That rhino that was serious. Lucky to be alive. Yeah, that was scary but thank you, tom, for that.

Unfortunately, i have my own game to play in on thursday night. Reporter her own game . Well, that was the u. S. Womens National Team playing portugal in a friendly this thursday.

You have detracrs saying this is a publicity stunt. She couldnt be out there but she wants to wait until 2020 because she wants to work at it, practice, get the technique down and get it right.

The threetime super bowl champ and former patriots tight end is joining us for his first live interview since announcing his retirement at 29 years old. He gave an Emotional Press Conference tuesday. Were going to speak with gronk live in just a moment, but first heres paula faris with more. Good morning, paula. Good morning to you everyone. Gronkowski says that football was bringing him down, just 29 when he retired, the same age as andrew luck. The former number one pick from the Indianapolis Colts who this week unexpectedly hung up his cleats, as well. I needed to walk away because i needed to do what was best for myself at that moment. Reporter this morning patriots star Rob Gronkowski raw and emotional, opening up for the first time about the moment he knew he had to step away from football. I needed to recover. I was not in a good place. Football was bringing me down and i didnt like it. And i was losing that joy in life, like the joy. Reporter he says it happened during one of the biggest games in his career, the super bowl, just last february. In the super bowl about a couple minutes into the second quarter, i caught a pass on the left side, cut over and the linebacker took me right out, right here in my quad. I flipped in the air and i knew my quad was done. It was right there and then i was like last game, super bowl game, just give it all you have. Reporter then just 29 years old he knew he had to walk away announcing his retirement in march. I could barely walk. I slept for five minutes that night. I was in tears in my bed after a super bowl victory. Reporter its a sentiment 29yearold Indianapolis Colts quarterback andrew luck shares. This weekend making shock waves announcing he too was walking away from his 140 Million Contract saying that years of battling injuries had taken a physical and mental toll. I felt stuck in it and the only way i see out is to no longer play football. Its taken my joy of this game away. The only way for me is to remove myself from football. Luck said he was losing his joy in life as well. Colts owner jim irsay estimated over the weekend that luck could potentially be giving up as much a 450 million in future salary. But, michael, this is all going to create an open dialogue as to how grueling the sport of football can be. I see you over there. Everyone is waiting for you to talk to the man of the hour. Ill send things over to you, michael. The man, the myth, the legend, gronk, is joining us. Thanks for joining us. I no problem. You made headlines when you announced your retirement at 29 years old and we saw the press release. This is the first time the presser yesterday. This is the first time youre sitting down to talk about it on live tv. You said it was the injury that happened in the super bowl that made you think about or consider retirement. Tell us about that. You know, i was thinking about it for a year or two now just going through the seasons and going through those times and all the injuries and hits and everything, but, you know, the icing on the cake was definitely the hit in the super bowl. You know, i had to stay in the game for sure. You know, its the last game of the year. Its the super bowl. Ts thsuper bowl, man. But that hit was brutal. Ive had a couple actually quad contusions before and i missed like a game or two and i was back within two weeks. So when that hit happened actually i was you just shrug it off in your mind like whatever, a week or two, ill be good. But literally like this one was for real, like it was deep and it literally put a hole in my quad. Like for like four weeks you can rub it and, like, it would indent. You had fluid drained out of your quad for quite a while after that. Yes. It didnt look most people at home dont see. The big hits are the ones that probably dont hurt as much. The little ones that people really cant see that hurt like that one did. And you retired but you could tell you still even though you said the game took joy, you still got emotional talking about it. Yes, because, you know, i love the game of football and i have so much respect for the game of football and i understand what i signed up for. So football to me has brought me to this fire. Football as made me a stronger person 100 , and im so thankful for it and played in one of the greatest organizations in all of sports and im so thankful for that opportunity and i played with the greatest player of all time, the greatest coach of all time, one of the greatest owners of all time. Im so thankful for that and it can help me go to the next chapter of my life taking things from there, seeing what i learned from guys like that and going on in my life and learning what ive learned and the circumstances i went through, i look at it now and i am thankful for it definitely. That hit in the super bowl but guess what, i kept playing and i ended up helping the team with that big catch to score a touchdown on a running play the next play. So, you know, you got to do what you got to do and just going out there is just an amazing feeling too. You know that feeling you get running out of that tunnel. Oh, yeah. You cant beat that feeling. Thats why even when you do get hit you want to go back out next week because that feeling, that rush being out there with your teammates, giving it all you have where else can you find that feeling, you know . You dont want to let the guys down. Yes, you cant let the guys down. So you got to give it all you have. Im so thankful for the opportunities that i was presented and to take advantage of and give it my all, but and its just made me so much more stronger and brought me to this point now and i found ways to recover from everything too, you know, finding the right treatments, finding techniques on how to heal. Finding different workouts and everything and its going to lead me to my next path in life, i feel like. Im curious, though. When you went to your teammates and you said, im going to retire, how did they react to that because im sure they want you to play. Youre one of the best players in the league, one of the best ever at your position. And so how did they react when you said, im going to retire . When i retired actually, ill tell you the truth, i didnt even tell any of my teammates. You know, i called up, you know, the a couple guys in the organization that took me. So i wanted to pay my respects and let them know before it happened, but, you know, i just knew the decision was clear. I knew what i wanted. And when i did retire too i didnt even have that passion, that, like, energy to, like, call up everyone because i just needed to get it out of the way. So i just did it. You were over it. You were done. I was over it. I didnt even want to negotiate at all with anyone like, oh, rob but i have talked about it before with teammates and stuff but they all understood totally. I would say and now that i have talked to teammates since theyre 100 supportive. They all know what the game is like and to walk away on my own terms is just a great way to leave. You hit on something. Guys who play the game know what its like. For fans they see somebody who looks able bodied, great player, going out on top. Andrew luck, great player, comeback player of the year, decides to retire at 29 like you did. Fans werent so happy with his retirement. But for you, what advice do you have for him . You know, since ive been retired for five months i had a game plan, though, and i know that you can basically fix like any injury that you sustain in football. I mean, like theres ways out there to recover. Theres ways out there to get better and then when you get better you can get stronger from there. So thats what i knew too and i knew i had to step away from the game of football in order to accomplish that, in order to accomplish let my body heal, let my mind heal, let my you know, just settle, get that calmness again in life and get that joy again. So you got to go find that joy. So the last five months, what ive been doing, ive been laying low key, resting, getting the right treatment, finding ways to recover, finding the right foods for my you know, doing experience doing it through my experience, asking other players, even talked to you about how you felt before and doing experiences to find ways to help my body get back to where i need to get back to because its 100 possible. Its a physical thing. Its a mental thing. Youre not going to go anywhere. Youre going to stick around, and well talk about the ways you helped yourself get back to where vibrant, the rob that we all know and love. Thats what i need to get back to. Im going to, baby. Youre there. We got a lot more coming up with rob in our next hour. Cecilia, back to you. Really fascinating conversation between the two of you.

They have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy charges in the largest College Admissions scandal in history accused of paying 500,000 in bribes to get their two daughters accepted to usc as recruits for the crew team.

Reporter in court, their lawyers arguing the couple didnt pay off individuals, instead giving money directly to the university, its Athletic Department as well as the charity once run by rick singer, the alleged mastermind of the admission scheme. The judge saying, things are brewing in this case involving usc warning the couple their lawyers previous involvement with the university could be an issue for their case in the future.

Good morning, in orlando, much of the east coast florida will be in the path. This is what it did to martinique yesterday with four inches of rain as a far lesser storm and now gaining strength. Were getting the prime time Hurricane Season, late august to late september, two of them, lets talk dorian. About 60 miles southeast of st. Croix. Isner Virgin Islands will get it later today. I like the path of this for now but think the northwestern corner has a fair amount of wind and rain, san juan, you will get that tonight and during the day friday it strengthens to a category 1 storm approaching the florida coastline, sunday, monday, but look at our computer models as far as how much confidence we have, not a whole lot. From miami to Cape Hatteras has to be on guard and well continue to update you. Erin closer but will stay o offshore. Canadian maritimes will get more and eastern new england will get rain.

The zoo putting out a statement this morning saying that white rhino named kasini has never shown signs of aggressive behavior and is currently in the area of the zoo. He will not be sent to a different zoo to live with a different herd. Fortunately that zookeeper, this is unbelievable, was only slightly injured. That car was thrown over three times. Car was totaled. You could say that. Now to a health alert as the School Year Kicks off. There is growing concern over the rising cases of measles. The highest level in more than two decades and dr. Jennifer ashton is here now and, jen, there is a lot of concern amongst parents. Listen, michael, the cdc is continuing to track cases where up to 1215 confirmed cases, there is no sign this outbreak is slowing down. They largely think it is attributed to the fact we have a very mobile, global society. We have people coming in from other parts of the world, philippines, ukraine where there are bigtime Measles Outbreak and come into the country with measles and then they are entrenched in unvaccinated communities where this virus spreads like wildfire so paige concern. And with School Coming up, youre a parent and getting ready to send your kids off what can you do to protect them . The key is vaccination. By the time children are 4 years old they should have at least one dose of the measles vaccine giving them 9 coverage, 97 by the time theyre 6. They should wash their hands and stay home if possible when sick. Thats not just for measles but as we go into flu season, norovirus, just basic good sense. Wash the hands. Good advice. Well, youll need to wash them before this. The recipe taking over the internet. Say this three times fast, deep fried barbecue chicken stuffed pizzadilla. Cannot wait for that.

Im going to try it out but for now well send it back to tom. Yes. I cant wait to get into that. That looks amazing. All right, guys, now to our cover story. As children head back to School Across the country, theres growing concern they may not have enough time to eat lunch. According to a recent survey, this is kind of wild, more than 20 of Public Schools are giving kids less than 20 minutes to eat. Its a story we first saw in the washington post, and t. J. Holmes is back here with more. You have little kids like i do. This is crazy because it takes them so long to eat. They are not supposed to be eating a barbecued chicken pizzadilla thing but there are nutrition standards, federal standards for kids in this country for school. There is no standard for how long they get to eat that lunch. So whats the point, tom . If you have a nutritious meal in front of you and no time to eat it, theres growing concern now that this is having a shortterm but even longterm impact on this countrys kids. Hey, guys, come on. We got to get ready. Reporter deb shell would always pack lumps for her three kids. Here, honey. Reporter but when they came back from school she noticed the bags were often still full. Every single day they kept coming home and nothing was touched. Mariana saw a similar pattern at her house. When i picked up my children they came out and said, im starving. Reporter the two moms decided to get to the bottom of this. We found out that our kids had 15 minutes and we also found out that there were 18 children that day standing in the lunch line when the bell rang which was the end of lunch. I knew that there was a limited amount of time for lunch but last year it just got worse. Reporter shell created a change. Org petition to address this time concern which has now garnered over 1400 signatures. Experts say these short lunch times exist all over the country. In a recent National Survey about 20 of schools reported that they had 0 minutes or less for their school lunch period. The negative effects of this short time to eat a balanced peel can be wild widespread including reduced ability to focus, Lower Energy Levels and less impulse control. They think theyll improve test scores with this but making sure the students have enough time to eat will help as well. Reporter the academy of pediatrics recommend they have at least 20 minutes of seated time. Lunch, recess is all part of the whole child and their development. Reporter in a statement to abc news berkley Unified School District says at the Elementary Schools we have 40 minutes for lunch and recess. The amount of time for lunch may vary between sites depending in part upon recess timing. We are working with our principal, teachers and departments to determine the specific issues at each site so that we have a realistic idea of what it could take to make any necessary adjustments. We often eat at our desks and kids are developing bad habits. Lunch is supposed to be communal. Have a conversation. Talk to your friends. Enjoy lump, enjoy recess, the secret to life. Cecilia, over to you. Our new series gmas ultimate debt diet. This morning we have a great tip from a woman who paid off 36,000 in Student Loans in just 20 months. Abcs Rebecca Jarvis is here with more on this. Hey. Hey, cecilia, great to see you. Im sure this is one a lot of people watching can relate to. Graduating, thousands of dollars in debt. I know i did. I know you did, cecilia. But the woman youre about to meet found a way to pay it all off in just under two years. Heres how she did it. Like many 20 something, Sarah Mcgowan graduated college with a degree and also deep in debt. When i was applying to colleges i was looking at the costs, and i narrowed it down to three universities but ended up choosing the university of minnesota in the twin cities because it was the most affordable. Reporter to minimize that debt sarah even finished in just three years but still found herself with 36,000 in Student Loans at graduation so she took action. Looked at the total cost that i owed and then they give you the number, what it will be at the end of your tenyear payoff. I remember it was about a 20,000 difference. I thought, theres so much more i can do with that extra 20,000. Reporter sarah committed to a time line and found a conspiracy system. My friends and i were so great about helping each other achieve our financial goals. Well try to stay in on nights or go canoeing instead of going out and spending money. Reporter she kept living costs low by having roommates and earned extra money from a side hustle. I continued to keep my babysitting job i had throughout college and then my finances trying to keep them as close as they were in college as possible. So all this extra income i could put towards debt. Reporter and after just 20 months, sarah was debtfree. I think the key to that is keeping a grateful mindset. Not comparing yourself to others and reminded myself every single day i have everything that i need to live a great life. All right this, is such a great story. We have gathered a group of twentysomethings here and will put you to the test. How on top of your financial future are you with true or false questions. You have the answers, you have the paddles. If you have Student Loans you should pay them off before you contribute to a 401 k . True or false . The answer is false. Im sorry. The one person. One of you got it the answer is false. Heres why. For the most part Student Loans carry a low interest rate. Make sure youre putting money into that 401 k , first of all, to get the employer match especially if the employer is matching but second of all, over time that 401 k should return more than the cost of the interest on your student loan. Where were you when i was in my 20s . Okay, one more for you guys, ready. True or false, having debt on too many credit cards and having Student Loans can negatively affect your credit score . True or false . False. Unanimous. You guys, so, heres the thinking here. First of all, yes, its true that you shouldnt have too many credit cards. However, the Biggest Issue is whether youre paying things off on time. Pay it off on time, cecilia, both the Student Loans and credit cards and pay the credit cards first. You are a financial guru. Thank you. Over to you, rob. All right, good morning, again, guys. Its been a hot summer. The dog days of august, right . There is a doggie day care in maybe, michigan that has a solution.

When youre done, youre done and i had that mindset and thats why i walked away because i knew it was timend i knew i was done but sometimes, you know, you wake up and i know that theres practice going on now and everything, but, you know, ive always had that mentality i got to get up and do something.

Real assembly, huh . It is. Dad didnt know he was going to work here now. Reporter i make one of my own and realize these things are durable. Youre going in a bag and apparently they tend to make wookiees rather annoyed like in this scene from a new hope. Chewie, i want to show you something im pretty proud of. We built droids. Sorry. Forgot about that. To top off the day we grab some grub at docking bay 7. Its delicious. Reporter including these tasty cream puffs. Awesome.

I did a really romantic look kind of like a roman princess mermaid. All three couples completely in awe of their upgraded vegas vows. Both we just got married [ cheers and applause ] all right, were already having a lot of fun because Jess Mulroney is here. I think you can do things differently outside the box. A vegas wedding is about access. You can even get good deal. Okay, first of all, this trip changed everything for me because i used to think you went to vegas to get married by, you know, elvis. Its not that at all. And it is so easy. Listen, life gets in the way. Things happen. Sometimes we need to just get married really quickly. Sometimes you discuss want to walk down the aisle. You just want to do it fast and this is the place to do it. You go, get your marriage license within 12 to 24 hours. You have to plan ahead a little bit. One day is all it takes. This is a place to do it. Tons of deals. How so . So actually the most interesting thing which i didnt know you can go to the instagram pages of the hotels in vegas and thats where youll find the best deals. Thats interesting. I didnt know that. Yes. Go on instagram, make sure youre there for 24 hours in advance or so and dresses. You can go big in vegas and you can get a deal. Exactly. So you know what typically a bride needs six to eight months to get her dress. This if youre doing it last minute is from rent the runway. Under 100. Amazing. For your dress. Which is who gets to pay under 100 . Delivered directly to your hotel so you dont even have to travel with it. I love it. So easy. Also, sometimes you have to sacrifice a few things if youre getting married really quickly. So things like a photo booth which are really popular. In vegas you dont have to do the full photographer route. There is an app you can download. Theres an app for that. Well try to do it live here. Hold on. Lets see. Okay. So ill show you so you can get this app and you enter okay, well do this live technology. Lets see. No pressure. No pressure. Did you get it . Didnt work but its called the photo booth app and you download it and send them digitally to all your friends and family. So great. The best tips for us. We love having you here. Thank you.
