00:00What's up? I'm Wyatt, and my parents adopted me from a poor farm in Sri Lanka.
00:04And now, living a millionaire life because of my politician parents.
00:08Well, I'm not a fan of rich life, but shh, don't tell my parents I said that.
00:14I mean, I'm grateful for what they've given me, but rich people always boss people around for the craziest things.
00:20I asked for a gold-plated toilet seat. Not this regular one. What? Are you stupid?
00:26Mom, who cares? It's just a toilet seat. No one's going to rate our bathroom on the luxury loo leaderboard.
00:33So I spent all my free time jamming on a guitar with my best buddy in the whole world, Kevin.
00:38Time for the next gig. You in?
00:40I met Kevin at a local band tryout, and we've been close ever since.
00:44We got in the band and started playing local charities. It felt so awesome to bring so many people joy.
00:50One day, we were playing at the local soup kitchen, and I heard a commotion.
00:53A bully was cornering one of the most beautiful girls I'd ever seen.
00:58I found twigs in the soup you made. I want my money back.
01:01It's free, and I saw you put those in there.
01:04I was about to step in when the girl poured soup all over the bully's head.
01:08Security came and threw her out.
01:10I ran outside to tell her how cool she was, but it was too late. She was gone.
01:15But when I got back to Kevin's, he had the biggest smirk on his face.
01:19Do you remember that cute girl who souped that bully?
01:22Really? Duh.
01:23Well, her name's Gabby, and I asked her out. So, she's kind of my girlfriend now.
01:27I felt like a giant rock had been stuck in my throat.
01:31But you guys, what was I supposed to do? There's a bro code.
01:34That's awesome, Kev.
01:37But as they started dating, I started to see less and less of Kevin.
01:41And whenever we did hang out, all he would ever talk about was Gabby.
01:45You know Gabby supports her entire family. She has like 17 jobs.
01:49Wow. And the next day, my parents had a huge surprise waiting for me.
01:55There was a pretty girl twirling in my kitchen. She batted her eyelashes in slow motion.
02:00Honestly, it was a little ridiculous.
02:03Hello. I'm Olivia.
02:05I'm Wyatt. And, uh, why are you here?
02:09Well, son, it's your 18th birthday, and your present is Olivia. She's gonna be your wife.
02:15My what?
02:17Did you really think we'd leave your matchmaking up to fate?
02:20But your mother and I were in an arranged marriage. Look how happy we are.
02:25I was definitely not convinced.
02:28Olivia's living with us until the wedding. You'll have plenty of time to get to know her.
02:32I tried it first for my parents' sake, but everything about Olivia rubbed me the wrong way.
02:39Every time she opened her mouth, I felt like some brain cells had died.
02:43One time, we went on our family's yacht for a week and sailed past the farm where I was born.
02:48Ew. I could never be that poor. How sad and pathetic.
02:53That really made me want to throw her overboard.
02:56Wyatt, remember, you're a gentleman.
03:01I needed out of this.
03:03A life with Olivia would be a life tied to the very type of person I hated most.
03:09So, I decided to run away.
03:11As I was climbing out of my window, Kevin pulled up to my house.
03:14How could I forget we were supposed to practice together?
03:17Bro, what are you doing?
03:19My parents want me to marry this total snozzberry.
03:22I'm running away.
03:24What? Wyatt, you can't give your life up.
03:27I don't have any other choice.
03:30I couldn't bring myself to say no to my parents or break their hearts.
03:34So, it's either run away or marry her.
03:37Besides, it's not like I have any other romantic leads.
03:41But then Kevin looked at me with this sparkle in his eye.
03:43What if you hired a fake fiancé and told your parents you're already getting married?
03:49I burst out laughing.
03:51Yeah, right.
03:52Would anyone actually be interested?
03:55I mean, it's a little pathetic.
03:57Gabby could do it.
03:59You mean, your girlfriend?
04:01Yeah, she's desperate for money.
04:03Let me ask.
04:04And then he started texting her.
04:06Wait, Kevin, isn't that weird?
04:09She's your girlfriend.
04:11She said she's in.
04:12And who cares, dude?
04:13It's just pretending.
04:15Besides, I trust you more than anyone.
04:18I mean, it's not like I really had any other options.
04:22Luckily, my parents went on a business trip.
04:24So, at least that bought me some time.
04:26The next day, I met up with Gabby and got up to pull her chair out.
04:30But she kicked it back in.
04:32One thing straight.
04:33This is just a job.
04:34Jeez, I was just trying to be polite.
04:36I love Kevin.
04:38So do I.
04:38But don't you feel weird that he's passing you off to me like you're some loner car?
04:44I would advise you to shut your face hole before I shut it for you.
04:47Well, you better get an attitude transplant if you're going to be a convincing fiancé.
04:52Otherwise, this won't work.
04:54She looked at me with this mischievous smirk.
04:56You don't have to question my believability.
04:59Trust me.
05:00The next day, I invited Gabby to my school's potluck.
05:03I went to the bathroom for two seconds.
05:05And when I came back, I saw Gabby had entered the green chili eating contest.
05:10As Gabby shoveled chilies down her throat, she glared at me with cold hatred.
05:15And then, to my shock, she told everyone,
05:18My fiancé holds the green chili eating world record.
05:21Before I knew it, tears were streaming from our eyes as we ate chili after chili.
05:27Remind me to bathe in milk later.
05:30After Gabby won, I dragged her away from everyone.
05:33What are you doing?
05:35Just having some fun with my fiancé.
05:37I'm going to be in the bathroom for a week straight now because of you.
05:41But if that's what you want, I'll give it to you and eat until you're happy.
05:45No, stop.
05:47Suddenly, Olivia appeared out of nowhere.
05:49Wow, Wyatt.
05:51That is pretty impressive.
05:53My parents love spicy food.
05:56They're going to be so happy when they find out you can handle it.
05:59And then, she kissed me on the cheek and ran off.
06:03I wanted to flip a table.
06:05What was that about?
06:08You need to start playing by my rules, Gabby, or you can kiss your money goodbye.
06:13I do one thing you don't like and this is how you act?
06:17You're exactly who I thought you were.
06:18You're a rich, arrogant jerk.
06:21I walked outside to blow off steam.
06:24Literally.
06:25But I realized I got why she thought I was that way.
06:28I mean, rich people, they're the worst.
06:31I had to show her that I wasn't like that.
06:34I went back inside, but Gabby was nowhere to be found.
06:37I started to get worried, so I called Kevin.
06:40Did you seriously lose my girlfriend, dude?
06:42I'm on my way.
06:43Then, I heard someone crying in the girl's bathroom.
06:47I took a chance.
06:49Uh, Gabby?
06:50It's Wyatt.
06:52I just, uh, I wanted to apologize.
06:56She unlocked the door, but when she opened it, I was shocked to see Gabby was covered in jello.
07:02What happened?
07:03That girl who kissed you on the cheek threw a whole jello cake in my face.
07:07Olivia.
07:08So maybe she was starting to get the message.
07:11I was almost a little excited when...
07:13I look like a sea monster.
07:15Here, let me help.
07:17I washed Gabby's hair in the sink and gave her my sweatshirt so she'd have clean clothes.
07:22Why are you being so nice to me?
07:24Because this is all my fault.
07:27Olivia attacked you because of me.
07:29And then, I told her everything.
07:31About the arranged marriage and Olivia.
07:34I'm sorry, Gabby.
07:36For all of this, this was stupid.
07:39No, it's not.
07:41I was wrong about you.
07:43Just give me one more chance.
07:44I'll be the perfect fake fiancé.
07:46And then, she hugged me so tight that my heart started beating fast.
07:51But just then, the door swung open and...
07:54What do you think you're doing?
07:55Kevin, it's not what it looks like.
07:57Wait in the car, Gabby.
07:59Kevin.
08:00Now.
08:01I didn't like the way he was talking to her.
08:03He was acting so...
08:04controlling.
08:06Kevin came for me, his nostrils literally flaring.
08:09What gives, man?
08:10She's still my girlfriend.
08:13Whoa, dude, relax.
08:14This, this was your idea.
08:16Gabby and I are just...
08:17Stop, man.
08:18I see the way you look at her.
08:20What?
08:21No.
08:22The bro code.
08:23I would never...
08:24Whatever.
08:24Just finish this up ASAP.
08:27I can't believe he was really gonna let a girl get between us after all we'd been through.
08:32The next day, I woke up and was surprised to see Gabby sitting at the edge of my bed.
08:36I have a surprise for you.
08:39Then she put a blindfold around me and put me in the driver's seat.
08:42I had no idea what was going on, but I've always been a sucker for surprises.
08:46And the next thing I knew, we were in the mountains.
08:49We climbed the whole thing.
08:51But what shocked me is that the longer we hiked, the more I actually started to love it.
08:56For the first time, I could drop everything.
08:59And I could just be...
09:01Me.
09:02We took a picture together at the top, and Gabby put her arms around me.
09:06I blushed so hard.
09:09Uh-oh.
09:10Maybe Kevin was right.
09:12Maybe I was starting to catch feelings for Gabby.
09:15And it was magical.
09:18Doesn't this feel like a scene from a movie, Wyatt?
09:21Yeah.
09:21These paths are just like finding a YouTube channel unexpectedly.
09:25And you're just pulled to hit subscribe and like.
09:27You never know what stories you'll get next.
09:29But it's sure to make your day.
09:31So you're saying that our lives are a YouTube channel now?
09:35Maybe.
09:36Because if it were, then people would subscribe to see if we soar or crash.
09:40You heard it.
09:41Want to know what's next?
09:42So hit like and subscribe.
09:44And when I got home that night, Olivia was waiting for me.
09:48You better be free tomorrow night.
09:50Hello to you too.
09:52My parents are coming for dinner to meet you.
09:54Our wedding's happening, Wyatt.
09:56Can you believe it?
09:58I called Gabby immediately.
10:00Why don't I just come to the dinner and they can see for themselves that you're taken?
10:04Gosh, women are smart.
10:06If anything had a shot, it was that.
10:08The next day, Gabby arrived at my house.
10:11She looked incredible.
10:14You look beautiful.
10:15Thanks.
10:17Too bad tonight's our last night doing this.
10:20It's actually been... fun.
10:23But before I could confess my true feelings, Kevin stepped down from behind her.
10:28I thought you might need a little chaperoning to make sure you don't fail miserably, Wyatt.
10:33Thanks for the vote of confidence.
10:35When we got inside, Olivia and her parents were already there.
10:38It was now or never.
10:39I said for you to come.
10:42Olivia, this is my best man, Kevin.
10:45This is Gabby, my fiancé.
10:48I wished I could bottle the look of disgust on Olivia's face for the rest of eternity.
10:54I was waiting for her to explode, but she simply said...
10:58Okay then.
10:59Prove it.
11:00Kiss her.
11:01What?
11:02If she's really your fiancé, it shouldn't be hard.
11:07I looked at Kevin, who was fuming, but I had no other choice.
11:11Gabby gave me a nod of approval.
11:13I leaned in and kissed her, and the world seemed to stop.
11:20Crash!
11:21We broke the kiss and swirled around to see that Kevin had just smashed a vase and stormed off.
11:26Kevin, wait!
11:28What happened to the bro code?
11:30What was I supposed to do?
11:31You're the one who told me to do this!
11:34I never said to kiss her!
11:36Gabby is my girlfriend!
11:37You crossed a line!
11:39Uh-huh!
11:40I knew you were lying.
11:42Kevin and I both turned to see that Olivia, her parents, and Gabby had followed us and overheard everything.
11:49Nice try, Wyatt.
11:50But I knew you'd never date low-life trash like Gabby.
11:54You're marrying me whether you like it or not.
11:57Can you really blame him for wanting to leave?
12:00You've got the ugliest personality ever!
12:03This was getting out of hand.
12:04They were literally pulling each other's hair.
12:07So I stepped in the middle of them.
12:09Girls!
12:10Gabby!
12:11Stop!
12:12And she felt bad the way I screamed, so she dashed away.
12:16Things couldn't end like this between us, though.
12:19Her family was struggling, and I had to do what was right.
12:22So I followed her.
12:24Gabby!
12:25Wait!
12:26Take this!
12:27I wrote her a check for three million dollars.
12:30Wyatt, you shouldn't have to do this.
12:32Any of this.
12:34Just be honest with your parents about Olivia.
12:36Maybe they'll understand.
12:38She was right.
12:39But I was still afraid of disappointing my folks.
12:43Just take the money.
12:45Now you can take care of your family.
12:47What?
12:48But she just stared at me, blankly.
12:51That's why you took the job.
12:53No.
12:55I took the job for Kevin.
12:56I agreed to do it and give the money to his sick mom.
13:00What?
13:01But Kevin's mom isn't sick.
13:03Last week she ran the marathon.
13:05Just then, we saw Kevin with Olivia, of all people.
13:09Showing her my cars like they were his own.
13:11He even had his arm around her.
13:13Kevin, you lied to us?
13:16All this time, you wanted my money for yourself.
13:20Kevin turned around with an evil look in his eyes.
13:22You don't even do anything with it.
13:25I deserve to have a little.
13:27Come on, Gabby.
13:28Let's go.
13:29I'm not going anywhere with you.
13:31You lied to me too.
13:32We're over.
13:34Are you happy now, Wyatt?
13:35You've ruined my life.
13:37Don't be so dramatic, Kevin.
13:39Consider our friendship over.
13:42And then he got in his car, actually my car, and rode off.
13:47I didn't even care.
13:48He was never a true friend to begin with if he was only after my money.
13:53Gabby called a cab, but there was really nothing to say except,
13:57I'm sorry for how this all turned out.
14:01Me too.
14:02I wanted to kiss her so badly.
14:04But before I even got the chance, Olivia had a tentacle around me.
14:10I guess that was that.
14:12My parents came back, and I went along with wedding planning.
14:16But I felt like a total ghost.
14:18I droned out Olivia's nonstop talking with thoughts of Gabby.
14:22I should have told her how I felt.
14:25I even texted her on the day of the wedding, telling her that it was happening.
14:29Maybe in hopes she'd want to pull a big romantic gesture.
14:32But when the time came and Olivia was walking down the aisle,
14:37Gabby was nowhere to be found.
14:40The priest started officiating when I heard a familiar voice call out.
14:44Stop the wedding!
14:46Everyone turned and gasped.
14:48To my shock, it was Kevin.
14:51Kevin, what are you doing here?
14:53Olivia, I love you.
14:55Let's run away from here.
14:57You want me to confess it in front of the whole world?
14:59So here I am.
15:01Um, what?
15:03But then Olivia ran over to Kevin and started kissing him.
15:07I guess there was a lot more to that casual arm around her that night at dinner.
15:11The wedding's off!
15:13As they ran away together, I couldn't help but laugh.
15:16And then I was in for the shock of the century when my parents came up to me.
15:21Son, I'm sorry we forced this upon you.
15:25We never should have.
15:26We were wrong.
15:28Olivia is clearly not good enough for you.
15:30We made a mistake with her and just want you to be happy.
15:34From now on, we've agreed.
15:36You choose who you love.
15:39And they hugged me tightly and went to the guests.
15:43What just happened?
15:44It looks like someone just got there happily ever after.
15:48I turned around, shocked, to see the priest removed his beard and hat.
15:53It was Gabby!
15:54You seriously thought I'd miss watching this train wreck?
15:57Gabby!
15:58I'm so sorry.
16:00Look, I know this sounds crazy, but although we were just pretending, I actually fell in love with you.
16:09I know, silly.
16:10Why else do you think I'm here?
16:12I feel the same way.
16:14How did I have no idea that was you?
16:17I told you not to doubt my believability.
16:19I laughed and grabbed her in my arms.
16:23What do you say?
16:24Should we make this a happy ending?
16:26I thought you'd never ask.
