"Matt and I got 45 minutes to step away from everyone" - Rhea Ripley recalls private moment from her wedding

Rhea Ripley was recently interviewed by Denise Salcedo on her YouTube channel, at the SummerSlam media day event. The latter congratulated The Judgment Day member on getting married and asked her how the whole event was. Ripley explained that everything turned out to be perfect, however, she was stressed on the auspicious day.

Furthermore, Ripley said that she and her husband got the opportunity to step away from the people around them for 45 minutes, and this proved to be important for the couple.

"It was really good. It was really really good. It was a lovely day. Obviously, I'm not used to stress at that point because I had been off for three months so I was like finally learning how to destress. And when that day came I was like 'I'm very stressed.' (laughs). So umm, I was very good. It all came together perfectly and it was a wonderful night. And I'm glad that Matt and I got 45 minutes to like step away from everyone and to just go outside to ourselves cause I feel like we really needed that," said Ripley. [From 0:00 to 0:32]
