Something special happened making the new episode of Bookmarked.  As always, we change the background in every episode. Since Olivia and Viktoria mention St. Patrick's Day, we recorded 2 minutes of a live stream outside of Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland.  And we noticed a happy couple. The footage was captured at 9am Central time, which would have been 3 pm in Dublin, After having their picture taken outside of Temple Bar, the moved to the sidewalk to share their happy news with family and friends. Their happiness is palpable. Watch the entire episode below, and see the footage as an extra at the end of the episode. It has all the feels. In the episode, Olivia and Viktoria talk about Natasha Preston, with playful banter about their differing opinions. This may be the best episode of Bookmarked yet. So, if you know anyone who got engaged in Ireland on March 13, tell them that they've been Bookmarked!
