"When everybody is busy in life, they’re busy. And Joel had a really, really, really super busy day at work and I didn’t even ask him to come," she recalled, as Jenna Bush Hager's husband, Henry Hager, was also present."I said, you know what ,I'm not going to bring it up because I don't want him to feel bad and say he can't come."
"And then I actually sent him a text because he was at work and I said, 'Hey, if you want to come any Thursday,'" Kotb continued."And he said, 'How about this Thursday? I’m so glad you asked.' Anyway it's super sweet."that she and Schiffman had to postpone their wedding due to the coronavirus pandemic.."It was a destination wedding, which would mean people getting on planes.
"We're kinda bummed about that because the place we were going is, like, our favorite place on Earth," she continued."We love it there. I know we should say, 'Who cares? It doesn't matter.' But we waited a long time, so I sure hope we get to have it. I don't know when."If you are using ad-blocking software, please disable it and reload the page.

"But you can't control how life works. Like, all we can do is put it into the universe and fill out papers and then wait and if it happens, wow, you know, that was meant to be," she continued, adding that adopting a third child was"in God's hands."When it came to the wedding, everything was on track, with Kotb sharing in April 2021 who her maid of honor would be., before touching on having to pause her nuptials amid the pandemic.
