00:05:55level and she knows that I want to get married to you I know we have a lot to work
00:06:00through yeah um
00:06:02but I I see glimpses of a future I see glimpses of a family like I know you're going to
00:06:10be an amazing
00:06:11father I wouldn't be here today if I didn't start seeing that sure I understand that yeah
00:06:23if we're gonna be married I want you to know that you want a family with me yeah for sure
00:06:29yeah I don't
00:06:31want it to be half ass I don't want it to be 50 50 I don't want to be 90
00:06:3410 whatever it may be 99
00:06:36one yeah I want it to be a hundred percent yeah and I want to be with someone that's a
00:06:41hundred percent
00:06:41yeah and you have your your points and you have your reasons and I respect them I respect you no
00:06:49matter what but I just can't say yes yeah without knowing yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry
00:06:59love is a choice and you choose to be with someone you choose to make those decisions together and for
00:07:06me like I can see a future with him and I know I can get there so I thought that
00:07:13would be enough but
00:07:16I don't think that was enough for him
00:07:19yeah so she did say yes she is open to possibly having children right we knew that
00:07:25but for me to say yes I just wanted a little more assurance from her god damn yeah
00:07:35obviously we want to let our feelings make the decision for us at the altar
00:07:39but I cannot say I do if I know the other person is not 100 with kids
00:07:46yes if she would have said independently I will have kids with you would that have changed your
00:07:52yeah I think it would have
00:07:57yeah
00:07:58yeah
00:08:07drop my defenses
00:08:10baby I'm helpless
00:08:13I finally found us
00:08:18so today is my wedding day today is starting to feel like a fairy tale I definitely was losing
00:08:25hope in finding somebody like Jordan today's the day it's crazy like with the kid who wants to just
00:08:34walk into that the right person like to actually find somebody that you fall in love with that's
00:08:39pretty amazing it's wild was I'm excited yesterday it was like really cute she did a magic show for
00:08:47Jordan that's adorable I think you had fun when your life is working especially doing what you do
00:08:56like basically running a practice and then having your daughter you don't really have the opportunity
00:09:01to meet I'm usually just like meeting a guy on a Saturday and like not getting to know them and
00:09:06like you just don't have the time and it was so like bad for so long and all these like
00:09:11toxic
00:09:12relationships that you've been in I'm gonna cry but like you've just come like so far yeah
00:09:18there's been a lot I'm like really proud of you
00:09:22I know this wasn't easy no it was not I feel like we've worked so hard to get here he
00:09:28had to meet my
00:09:29daughter's dad he had to meet my daughter there's a lot of stress with work traveling back and forth from
00:09:34Mount Vernon you know we had a few stress moments but to get through everything it's just been such a
00:09:39wild
00:09:39crazy and amazing ride do you feel confident in your decision that you're gonna make today yeah
00:09:46you do mm-hmm I'm ready to marry Jordan I am you know he's like a best friend to me

00:09:52we love you so much no matter what happens we're here for you we love you that's why you're so
00:10:00proud of
00:10:01you so my biggest fear is how Jordan feels like if he's feeling a lot of pressure or anything like
00:10:06I
00:10:06know it's like changing his life and maybe he does kind of want to like run if that's his decision
00:10:12as
00:10:12well so that's been kind of lingering on the back of my mind but I just care about him a
00:10:16lot so I

00:16:03Gorgeous.
00:16:05What do you think? Are you nervous?
00:16:10I will say for the longest time, I have always wanted to see you get married, so this is...
00:16:15You didn't think I was.
00:16:16I didn't think so.
00:16:17You didn't think I was.
00:16:18Okay, so be honest. I always felt like you were very, like, independent.
00:16:22Like, you were just like... I didn't think you would... I felt like if you were going to get tied
00:16:25down,
00:16:25it would be something that would happen maybe, like, way later.
00:16:28Like, something when you were, like...
00:16:2950?
00:16:30Yeah, like, 40s or 50s, yeah. I figured you'd get tied down around then, so...
00:16:34Well, you have to put it on the other hand, Emma.
00:16:37Well, that's too bad.
00:16:41Let me put some chapstick on you real quick.
00:16:45Too bad.
00:16:46Aw, are you going to help fix my dress?
00:16:51Wow.
00:16:52Bye, my little baby.
00:16:54I love you so much.
00:16:56I can't even believe this.
00:17:00Come here. Come here.
00:17:03I love you.
00:17:04You're my best friend.
00:17:06And I love you.
00:17:08And thank you for going through your life with me.
00:17:13Oh, my goodness.
00:17:15I love you.
00:17:16I love you so much.
00:17:17You are so beautiful.
00:17:19I'm so glad you guys came out.
00:17:21Oh, my God.
00:17:22I wouldn't have missed this.
00:17:24Wouldn't have missed it.
00:17:25It is a lot to ask somebody to bring another human
00:17:29into a relationship.
00:17:31It's a beautiful dress.
00:17:32I'll see you here in a little bit.
00:17:33But I would love for Jordan's heart to say yes.
00:17:36Yeah, this is our life.
00:17:38This is our life.
00:17:40We're living the good life.
00:17:43Oh, my God.
00:17:52Oh, my God.
00:17:53Oh, my God.
00:17:53Oh, my God.
00:17:54Oh, my God.
00:17:56Oh, my God.
00:18:24Everybody's here for you.
00:18:26Good.
00:18:30She's a wonderful person.
00:18:32I just met Emma.
00:18:34She's a wonderful girl.
00:18:36I love this.
00:18:38It's okay.
00:18:40You good?
00:18:42Yeah.
00:18:44It's okay.
00:18:47Just breathe and go with your heart.

00:18:57We love you so much.
00:18:59You make us so proud.
00:19:03I love you.
00:19:04Let's go.
00:19:33I just want you to know that of course
00:19:34I support you I think that Jordan is a good guy
00:19:39sounds to me like he really likes you
00:19:40I fucking hope
00:19:42is that me and better
00:19:44yeah honestly
00:19:47you know it's a big decision of course getting married
00:19:49whether you guys go through with it or not
00:19:50I'm personally expecting this not to go through
00:19:54just because I think that you know
00:19:57maybe he wants more time
00:20:03so I will say if you guys both say yes
00:20:05it will genuinely be a huge shock to me
00:20:06in a good way you know I'll say in a good way
00:20:12for me it's a yes
00:20:13but that's like a lot
00:20:15to ask for him
00:20:18I'm understanding
00:20:19either way though
00:20:21I will say this
00:20:24till the day I died
00:20:25I think that you deserve the best

00:22:01I love this side.
00:22:04Thanks.
00:22:04This is the second one we brought today.
00:22:07Please be seated.
00:22:14We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Amber and Jordan.
00:22:19Love is the foundation upon which we build our lives.
00:22:23Love brings people together, strengthens them in times of hardship,
00:22:28and fills life with meaning and joy.
00:22:31Amber and Jordan stand before us,
00:22:34ready to take the next step in this extraordinary journey of love.
00:22:44Jordan made me a better person, honestly.
00:22:47He always has a positive attitude.
00:22:49He's always looking to make the best out of his situation.
00:22:52He is always looking to say hi to the stranger.
00:22:55He made, like, seven airport friends over a CPAP.
00:22:59Like, he's starting a CPAP club, actually.
00:23:03He said he was interested in joining.
00:23:07Stupid.
00:23:08He is just, like, that positive of a person.
00:23:11I can sometimes be such, like, a go-getter.
00:23:13I'm, like, always trying to do everything,
00:23:14and he makes me step back and realize, like, what truly matters in life.
00:23:27Amber, we've both put so much effort and love into this.
00:23:34I'm glad that it's you up here.
00:23:45Amber and Jordan, you chose to get engaged
00:23:48and spend the rest of your lives together
00:23:50based on a deep emotional connection.
00:23:57Now is the time to decide if love is blind.
00:24:09Will you get married and commit to face life together
00:24:12as husband and wife,
00:24:14or will you walk away forever?
00:24:21Amber,
00:24:23do you take Jordan to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:24:26Do you solemnly vow to be his faithful partner
00:24:29in sickness and in health,
00:24:31in good times and in bad,
00:24:33and in joy as well as in sorrow?
00:24:36Do you promise to love him unconditionally,
00:24:38to honor and respect him,
00:24:41to laugh with him and cry with him,
00:24:43and to cherish him as long as you both shall live?
00:24:47If so, say, I do.
00:24:57I do.
00:25:00But I understand if there's any doubts.
00:25:05I have a lot going on.
00:25:11Jordan,
00:25:14do you take Amber to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:25:17Do you solemnly vow to be her faithful partner
00:25:20in sickness and in health,
00:25:22in good times and in bad?
00:25:24Do you promise to love her unconditionally,
00:25:26to honor and respect her,
00:25:28and to cherish her as long as you both shall live?
00:25:31If so, say, I do.
00:25:56I want to follow my heart and say that I do.
00:26:00So your answer is?
00:26:02I do.
00:26:25I feel very certain.
00:26:34Jordan, you may kiss your bride.
00:26:47Ladies and gentlemen,
00:26:48Mr. and Mrs. Jordan and Amber Faith.
00:27:00Oh, my sister told me, you know,
00:27:03just follow your heart, you know.
00:27:08So I did.
00:27:11I was fully expecting him to not be ready for this.
00:27:14Like, I was not expecting that at all.
00:27:18One of the best moments of my life as well.
00:27:21That's crazy.
00:27:24At least you're my person.
00:27:27You're mine, too.
00:27:29All right.
00:27:30Let's have some fun.
00:27:33Come here.
00:27:36Are you excited?
00:27:37Mm-hmm.
00:27:38Yeah.
00:27:39We're done.
00:27:43Cheers.
00:27:43Cheers.
00:27:44Cheers.
00:27:48Cheers.
00:27:52Cheers.
00:27:53Cheers.
00:27:57Cheers.
00:27:57Cheers.
00:28:11Take your time.
00:28:13I love you.
00:28:14I see a life with you.
00:28:16You know, I have the dress.
00:28:17Yeah.
00:28:17Nails, the lashes, all the things.
00:28:19Like, ready to be married.
00:28:21I want to be your wife.
00:28:23I'm shocked that I'm not actually getting married,
00:28:26even though I'm supposed to get married.
00:28:27Yeah.
00:28:28Like, both of my parents,
00:28:29they were so excited that everything
00:28:31that I've always wanted was happening.
00:28:34Today was supposed to be our wedding day,
00:28:38but it's not.
00:28:41It was kind of shocking.
00:28:44My parents, they know how much I want to be married.
00:28:47I have family coming in town,
00:28:49and they were all here to celebrate us.
00:28:53But right now, I feel like everything that I want
00:28:57isn't happening right now.
00:28:59Everything is, like, great, like, between us,
00:29:02but I was just like, I can't walk into a marriage
00:29:04with, like, self-doubt of,
00:29:07can I love you how you need to be loved?
00:29:09I think that's why I couldn't get to the altar.
00:29:11I just can't do it.
00:29:13I can see my life being with you 100%.
00:29:18I can't get married right now.
00:29:20Even though it's not right now,
00:29:22it doesn't mean that it's not going to be eventually.
00:29:25I feel like we're still together,
00:29:27and we're just taking a slight pause
00:29:30on when we actually get married.
00:29:34I think when it comes to, like,
00:29:36you feeling more comfortable with a prenup,
00:29:39for me, like, say we would have gotten married today,
00:29:44I was willing to make adjustments to what I believe.
00:29:51Yeah, right, yeah.
00:29:53We're still going to be together.
00:29:54We're still engaged.
00:29:56I do see 100% like marrying each other.
00:30:00Our story's not over,
00:30:02whether that's marriage now or marriage later.
00:30:05We are going to be husband and wife one day,
00:30:09then hopefully have babies right after we get married.
00:30:13After the initial, like, shock of it all,
00:30:15of, like, okay, I'm not getting married,
00:30:18it was like, okay, I'm not getting married,
00:30:20but now what does our life look like?
00:30:23Like, where do we go from here?
00:30:25I'm not a fortune teller, so I don't know.
00:30:27There's still doubts that I have,
00:30:29but it's like I don't know the answer.
00:30:31I don't know.
00:30:32Only time will tell.
00:30:32Yeah, and I'm like, I don't know what the future holds.
00:30:35I don't.
00:30:36Like, if I did, like, life would be different,
00:30:39but my doubts moving forward in the relationship,
00:30:43what does it look like?
00:30:44You're not going to just date someone to date.
00:30:46Like, I'm not going to date someone just to date.
00:30:49Like, I'm dating to get married.
00:30:50Like, I'm engaged to get married.
00:30:52So it's like these are the doubts that, like,
00:30:55for me need to, like, kind of clear my head
00:30:57to, like, be able to move forward.
00:30:59Yeah.
00:30:59Today was supposed to be our wedding day.
00:31:02She was ready for marriage,
00:31:03but there was always doubt in my head.
00:31:06There were certain things that kind of struck me,
00:31:09like, you know, when she mentioned
00:31:11that she had pre-bought a wedding dress,
00:31:13having the dress pre-bought was something
00:31:15that really threw me.
00:31:17I was like, were you going to get married
00:31:18regardless if it was me?
00:31:19Of course I want to be his bride,
00:31:21especially, like, when we went and did
00:31:23the wedding dress shopping.
00:31:24And, like, I put my dress on
00:31:26that I picked out before we came here.
00:31:28I think that he would love this dress
00:31:31because I think this dress would make him
00:31:33see my natural beauty.
00:31:36Yeah, I got to go.
00:31:37All right.
00:31:38Well, it's not our wedding day.
00:31:41We can pick our wedding day.
00:31:43Yeah.
00:31:44I'm 99% sure I'm going to get married to Devante.
00:31:48We are supposed to be married.
00:31:50I do see myself marrying him.
00:31:52I feel like he is my person.
00:31:54Is she my forever person?
00:31:56The more I'm, like, clinged on to
00:31:57or the more I'm, like, pressured to do something,
00:32:00the, like, harder that I push back.
00:32:02She is sometimes like a shadow to me,
00:32:03and I'm just like, sometimes I'm like,
00:32:06just wait out there, I'll be right back.
00:32:08I'm just going to change my shirt.
00:32:10That's something I don't want to keep dragging
00:32:12down the road if it's, like,
00:32:14it's not going to work out.
00:32:15Oh, I need to go.
00:32:19We will be in touch.
00:32:23We will be in touch.
00:32:25I can't stand you.
00:32:27Two years ago, I would have been so nervous
00:32:29to have that conversation with her.
00:32:31I would have just got married and figured, like,
00:32:34I probably would have, like, swept it all over the rug,
00:32:36had resentment, and, like, you know,
00:32:38probably figured out how to get a divorce,
00:32:40like, the easiest way possible.
00:32:41I've had moments where I've felt naive
00:32:43of feeling like my feelings are stronger than his,
00:32:47and wondering, like, if he's just going through the motions.
00:32:50Like, is this why I have not met your mom in person?
00:32:53Is, do you still feel the same exact way
00:32:56that you felt about me in the pods?
00:32:58Like, am I the person that you fell in love with?
00:33:00I'll never forget you.
00:33:02I think what I'm most fearful of is having to start all over.
00:33:07If, for some reason, we don't work,
00:33:09I'm fearful to have to be vulnerable
00:33:13with somebody else all over again,
00:33:18because it was really hard to do it in this instance,
00:33:23but it paid off because now I have the love of my life,
00:33:28my person, my best friend,
00:33:30that I hope to be my best friend again one day.
00:33:32But we just need to get back to all of those feelings
00:33:36of why we fell in love and why we chose each other.
00:33:40I do think Devontae will end up being my husband.
00:33:43We're not saying no to each other.
00:33:45We're just saying not right now.
00:33:46It would have been hard for me to go through today
00:33:51knowing that we aren't getting married.
00:33:54I think if it wasn't 100% yes,
00:33:57then I didn't want to have, like, a wedding.
00:33:59I'll never forget you
00:34:02You've always been on my side
00:34:05From the day that I met you
00:34:07To the day I died
00:34:11It starts right here
00:34:22It's my wedding day.
00:34:23It's the biggest day that I've had in my life so far.
00:34:26I've been second best a lot of times.
00:34:29You know, I've been cheated on, I've been lied to,
00:34:32and fell in love with Alex because he was so confident
00:34:34in his decision to choose me.
00:34:36Take a deep breath in
00:34:38Won't change my mind
00:34:41Love is choosing someone every single day
00:34:44Waking up and just being 100% confident
00:34:46in your decision to be with that person
00:34:49to make them your wife
00:34:50to be their husband
00:34:51I just remember being all in
00:34:52and telling my dad, like, I met the man of my dreams
00:34:55You know, I've been crying so much, too
00:34:57Like, I get so emotional
00:34:58I don't know why
00:34:58I'm, like, not the emotional type
00:35:00It's almost like it's your wedding day
00:35:01It's almost like it's my wedding day
00:35:02It's a crazy time in my life
00:35:03Did you talk to Alex last night?
00:35:06We talked a little bit
00:35:07Yeah?
00:35:07We're supposed to be separated
00:35:08I don't think he realizes, like
00:35:13how strong it probably does really make him
00:35:16to live the childhood he lived
00:35:17to, uh, have the adult life that he had
00:35:21You know, his dreams were taken away from him
00:35:22He had trouble in his childhood
00:35:24with, you know, stepfathers, fathers, whatever it was
00:35:28I had such a different life
00:35:29Hi!
00:35:30Hi, girls!
00:35:33I have lived a very stable life
00:35:36with a great family
00:35:38and he has not
00:35:39but I think that will make him
00:35:41not only a great husband
00:35:43but a great father
00:35:46So, yeah
00:35:48That's what makes Alex so special
00:35:50It's insane that one person
00:35:52after such a short period of time
00:35:54can make you feel
00:35:56all these emotions all at once
00:35:58Ash, did you ever think
00:36:00you would get to this moment?
00:36:01No
00:36:02I am the bride
00:36:04The bride
00:36:04I'm the bride
00:36:07Brine
00:36:07I can't believe it
00:36:18I think Ashley makes a phenomenal life in a number of ways
00:36:22Just the confidence that she has
00:36:23She meets every single thing that I could want checked in a box or whatever
00:36:28Emotionally, without a doubt
00:36:29And the physical is fantastic
00:36:31She's a beautiful woman as well
00:36:32So, I think she's a top tier partner when it comes to, you know, choosing a life
00:36:40Are you nervous to walk down the wedding aisle?
00:36:42No
00:36:43I mean, you play Division I soccer, you know what I'm talking about
00:36:46You walk out, like the crowd's there
00:36:47In front of 5,000 people
00:36:48You're used to that
00:36:48You're used to that
00:36:49When I am ready to marry Ashley
00:36:50And the fact that I'm able to stay cool, calm and collected on a day like this
00:36:53With high kind of stakes involved
00:36:55It's like a penalty shootout
00:36:56With everything on the line
00:36:57There's no pressure on the goalkeeper ever
00:36:59Because they're supposed to score
00:37:00I, as a goalkeeper, felt very, very confident in, you know, making saves at that point
00:37:04You kind of walk around with your shoulders out
00:37:07Ready to, you know, make the save that you need to
00:37:09And at the moment, that's kind of what this feels like today
00:37:10Big stakes
00:37:11You decide the game today
00:37:13It's not that I'm emotionally numb or anything like that
00:37:15It's more, I've been here before
00:37:17I do feel confident in what I bring to the table
00:37:19And I'm happy to show it
00:37:20Tell me about Ashley
00:37:21I don't know Ashley at all
00:37:22Oh, yeah, you gotta meet her at some point
00:37:24I think I'll meet her today
00:37:25I think so
00:37:27No, she's a great girl
00:37:28Great girl
00:37:29We align on everything
00:37:31From politics to sense of humor
00:37:33I don't know, she's a phenomenal person
00:37:35Great partner
00:37:36What kind of family does she come from?
00:37:37Older brother
00:37:38And then her father was
00:37:40Definitely extroverted for sure
00:37:41You said he's a divorce attorney?
00:37:43Yeah, dude, that was nuts
00:37:44That's why the family to marry
00:37:45Yeah, it was insane, dude
00:37:47That's where you want to be
00:37:48Yeah, you got grilled, I'm sure
00:37:49I did, I did
00:37:50So, like, I day trade, obviously
00:37:52And, like, I know the Australian dollar
00:37:55We were talking about crypto for a little bit
00:37:56Yeah
00:37:57He'll start talking about something else
00:37:59And then randomly, he'll just be like
00:38:00Alright, so what's the price of crypto right now?
00:38:02I'm like, I don't trade that first off
00:38:04Off the top of my head?
00:38:05Yeah, like, what?
00:38:06You know, I don't really think
00:38:08I have any fears at the moment
00:38:09I mean, outside of maybe sharks in the water
00:38:11But that's, you know, I think pretty normal
00:38:14What's up, boys?
00:38:15Who's sexy?
00:38:17I rip one sleeve off and show off the arm
00:38:19Oh, I would love to
00:38:21Oh, dude
00:38:23My guys, gracias, chico
00:38:32Oh, hi
00:38:35Wow
00:38:37Sparkly, you sparkly?
00:38:38You gonna get me?
00:38:39Yeah, I don't want to get my lipstick on you
00:38:41How you doing?
00:38:42Good, how are you?
00:38:42Good
00:38:43Wow, you clean up okay?
00:38:46Thank you, thank you
00:38:47How are you doing, kiddo?
00:38:49Good
00:38:49I'm comfortable
00:38:50Confident
00:38:51Sleeping well
00:38:52Clear ahead
00:38:53Good
00:38:54Where I should be
00:38:55Well, I'm proud of you
00:38:56Thank you
00:38:57Sad Nana and Bopper aren't here to see you
00:38:59I kind of felt them here a little bit
00:39:01I mean, they're around
00:39:01Yeah, of course they are
00:39:03For sure
00:39:03And I'm certain they are very proud of you
00:39:05I hope so
00:39:06I hope so
00:39:07A lot of this day has been the pregame warm-up
00:39:10And now you've started to put the gloves on
00:39:12And the cleats on
00:39:13And you're in the locker room with the boys beforehand
00:39:15And you're really figuring out
00:39:16Okay, like the moment's here
00:39:17I think we're basically walking out to the field right now
00:39:20It's game time now
00:39:23Talk to you soon
00:39:24Yep
00:39:24Thank you for all the support
00:39:25Love you, baby
00:39:26Appreciate it
00:39:27Love me, love me, baby
00:39:33Ah!
00:39:35Oh my God
00:39:36That's crazy
00:39:37Okay, everybody not
00:39:39Don't cry
00:39:39Don't cry
00:39:40You're really like a walking Barbie
00:39:42Yeah, Barbie
00:39:43Yeah, Barbie
00:39:44Let's go
00:39:45Oh, the button
00:39:46That's not in there
00:39:47So pretty
00:39:48Nice
00:39:48Perfect
00:39:50Baby
00:39:51I love you, Ashley
00:39:52I love you
00:40:01I love you
00:40:01I love you
00:40:03I love you
00:40:03I love you
00:40:04I love you
00:40:04I love you
00:40:06I love you
00:40:08I love you
00:40:16Do you see how big my boobs look
00:40:22Hello, little sweetie
00:40:23What are you crying about?
00:40:26Oh, hi, sweetie
00:40:31Don't cry too much
00:40:33Keeping it together
00:40:35Coming into the pods
00:40:36I did have some self-doubt
00:40:37I clearly wasn't having any luck
00:40:39In the dating pool in Cleveland
00:40:40And I didn't know if
00:40:42I'd be everybody's cup of tea
00:40:43I'm just this boring girl
00:40:45From a small town in Ohio
00:40:47You look fantastic
00:40:48Thank you
00:40:49Boy, that is a pretty dress
00:40:50I've been crying all day
00:40:52But the people I've met
00:40:53The men that I've dated
00:40:55The man that I'm about to marry
00:40:56Everything that I've had here
00:40:58Has made me so much more confident
00:41:00You think I've changed
00:41:01Throughout this process?
00:41:02I do
00:41:02It feels amazing
00:41:04To put on my dress
00:41:05There have been many conversations
00:41:07That
00:41:10I'm not Alex's type
00:41:13So I hope when he sees me today
00:41:16He realizes how wrong he is
00:41:17If I'm being completely honest
00:41:20I would be shocked
00:41:21If Alex said yes
00:41:23I'd be happy
00:41:23Obviously
00:41:24Nobody wants to be rejected
00:41:26But I am more so expecting
00:41:28A no from Alex
00:41:30Love you
00:41:31Love you, sweetie
00:41:34You all excited?
00:41:35You all ready?
00:41:38I know I'm not everybody's cup of tea
00:41:40I'm not for every boy
00:41:41Like, who cares?
00:41:43Like, who cares if they like me?
00:41:45Who cares if they want to be with me?
00:41:47It's more, do I want to be with them?
00:41:48And I think that's my biggest thing today
00:41:50Is it's my wedding day
00:41:53And the answer could be no
00:41:54The answer could be yes
00:41:55But someone out there
00:41:57Is going to be the love of my life
00:41:59And if it's Alex
00:42:00It is Alex
00:42:01If we choose each other today
00:42:02Then he will be
00:42:03The person that changes my life
00:42:05For the better
00:42:05I know that
00:42:08I am choosing someone today
00:42:10Because of happiness
00:42:11I'm confident
00:42:12And I'm ready
00:42:14To your big day
00:42:15To the big day
00:42:17Alex and Ashley
00:42:18Big day
00:42:19Oh, goodness
00:42:47Oh, my God
00:42:48Here
00:42:50Oh, my God
00:42:52Oh, my God
00:42:53I'm so nervous
00:42:54Your future is right in front
00:42:55I can feel it
00:42:57I got this
00:42:58You got this
00:43:00I got this
00:43:01You're Ashley Carpenter
00:43:03Black belt
00:43:06Are you more nervous now
00:43:07Or when you did that first tournament
00:43:09Probably now
00:43:16Ladies and gentlemen
00:43:17Will you please rise
00:43:19For the entrance of our bride
00:43:22Oh, no
00:43:24Here we go
00:43:25Oh, my God
00:43:26Oh, my God
00:44:16You may be seated, everyone
00:44:26Dearly beloved
00:44:27We're gathered here today
00:44:29To celebrate
00:44:30Ashley and Alex
00:44:32A unique love
00:44:34Born from truly unique circumstances
00:44:37While there are many dimensions to love
00:44:40Arguably the most beautiful
00:44:42Is that love has no requirements
00:44:45And it knows no limitations
00:44:47Based on who you are
00:44:48Or how you look
00:44:49So it is with love in mind
00:44:52That we celebrate
00:44:53These two wonderful people today
00:44:55They have come so far together
00:44:57From sitting in the pods
00:44:59Excited for the chance
00:45:00To learn about each other
00:45:02To standing on this platform today
00:45:04Ready for the chance
00:45:06To share their feelings
00:45:08For each other
00:45:17Ashley
00:45:18From the moment
00:45:19We stepped into the pods together
00:45:21Obviously, I knew
00:45:22That you were very, very special
00:45:23Whether it's riding horseback
00:45:25In Mexico
00:45:26Or competing on the golf course together
00:45:29It's incredible
00:45:30To get to know you
00:45:31I fell for your voice
00:45:33I fell for your sense of humor
00:45:36And I've enjoyed
00:45:37Every second of this
00:45:45Alex
00:45:47This has been
00:45:47A crazy
00:45:49Rollercoaster
00:45:50I'm sure everyone here
00:45:51Is going to think
00:45:52I'm completely insane
00:45:53When I say that
00:45:54I fell for you
00:45:55When I was stepping into a pod
00:45:57You became my best friend
00:45:59And I fell in love with you
00:46:01You're back
00:46:02Not bad
00:46:07Ashley and Alex
00:46:08You chose to get engaged
00:46:11And spend the rest of your lives together
00:46:13Based on a deep emotional connection
00:46:16Now is the time
00:46:18To decide
00:46:19If love is blind
00:46:25Will you get married
00:46:26And commit to face life together
00:46:28As husband and wife
00:46:30Or will you walk away
00:46:31Forever?
00:46:34Alex, we're going to begin with you
00:46:39Alex, do you take Ashley
00:46:41To be your lawfully wedded wife
00:46:42To have and to hold
00:46:43From this day forward
00:46:45For better or for worse
00:46:46For richer or for poorer
00:46:48In sickness and in health
00:46:50To love, honor, and cherish
00:46:52Forsaking all others
00:46:53So long as you both shall live
00:46:57If so
00:46:58Say I do
00:47:06I know your answer
00:47:08And it doesn't matter to me
00:47:10I know you don't choose me
00:47:12And I'm not choosing you either
00:47:17When we were in the pods
00:47:19All of our stories
00:47:20All of our future plans
00:47:22They aligned perfectly
00:47:23However, once we left the pods
00:47:25There was no effort
00:47:27There was no intimacy
00:47:28There were no questions
00:47:29That you had for me
00:47:30And I felt like
00:47:31As soon as we moved
00:47:32Into the apartment
00:47:33We were roommates
00:47:40Something always
00:47:40Kind of felt off
00:47:43Your stories were so vivid
00:47:45They were so detailed
00:47:46You would say a lot of words
00:47:47But somehow
00:47:48I just found myself
00:47:49More confused
00:47:50At the end of our conversations
00:47:52Okay
00:47:54Lying as a non-negotiable
00:47:55For me
00:47:56And I'm sure it is
00:47:58For you as well
00:48:00I lead my life
00:48:01With integrity
00:48:01Which is one of the reasons
00:48:03You've told me
00:48:03That you fall in love with me
00:48:04And I expect my husband
00:48:06To do the same thing
00:48:07That's right
00:48:07Unfortunately, I do feel
00:48:08Like you have missed that mark
00:48:10Okay
00:48:16I used to ignore red flags
00:48:19I accepted dishonesty
00:48:21And I spent far too much time
00:48:24Waiting for a man to love me
00:48:27That was not my person
00:48:29I think this process
00:48:30Has really made us grow
00:48:32And I'm very proud
00:48:33Of the woman I am today
00:48:34And I hope you're proud
00:48:35Of the man that you are
00:48:36Through all of this
00:48:37Absolutely
00:48:38If I was standing here
00:48:40A year ago
00:48:42I would have ignored
00:48:43All of the red flags
00:48:44All of the lies
00:48:45I would have probably thought
00:48:47I can change him
00:48:48Or just give it some more time
00:48:49And I would have spent
00:48:50Far too much time
00:48:51Waiting for you
00:48:52To become the man
00:48:53That I deserve
00:48:55Because I know
00:48:56I deserve something extraordinary
00:48:58And I deserve so much
00:49:00Better
00:49:07So I am so sorry
00:49:08But it is a no
00:49:09For me today
00:49:14Okay
00:49:16I would like to say
00:49:17I completely respect that
00:49:19From you
00:49:20I do disagree
00:49:21To an extent
00:49:22About the integrity
00:49:23I felt as though
00:49:24The questions
00:49:25About my past
00:49:26Were more to
00:49:27Try and catch me
00:49:27In something
00:49:28Didn't really understand me
00:49:29I do live a very
00:49:30Different lifestyle
00:49:31I do my best
00:49:32To explain it
00:49:32As much as possible
00:49:34I personally
00:49:35Don't think
00:49:36That I've missed
00:49:36The mark on integrity
00:49:37But I do understand
00:49:38The rest of your feelings
00:49:39And I respect your feelings
00:49:40Without a doubt
00:49:41From my end
00:49:42It's mutual
00:49:46Saying no to you
00:49:47Today
00:49:48Is a win
00:49:53You're okay
00:49:54You're okay
00:49:57You're okay
00:49:58Come on baby
00:49:59Come on baby
00:50:20She's glad I called him a liar
00:50:22No
00:50:23That just is not right
00:50:25And it's watching you
00:50:33All right
00:50:34Clock to that guy
00:50:39Appreciate you boys
00:50:40We got you
00:50:41We got you
00:50:42We got you
00:50:43Come here
00:50:44We're good
00:50:44I know
00:50:45But I'm just not
00:50:46Happy with her
00:50:48Calling you a liar
00:50:48Because you're not
00:50:49I know that
00:50:50And everyone here
00:50:51Knows that
00:50:52So I'm exactly
00:50:52Where I should be
00:50:53And where I needed
00:50:54To be
00:50:55Very confident
00:50:55And you're a great
00:50:56Person and a great
00:50:57Man
00:50:57Appreciate you
00:50:58You'll be a great
00:50:58Husband one day
00:50:59Appreciate you
00:50:59I know it
00:51:00You all know who I am
00:51:01I know who I am
00:51:03That's all that really matters
00:51:04I don't really care
00:51:04About the rest of it
00:51:05She's a great girl
00:51:06There's no ill will
00:51:07No hard feelings
00:51:08Towards her
00:51:08She feels a certain way
00:51:09I respect that
00:51:11You want to go see
00:51:12If she's okay
00:51:12No
00:51:14What do you mean
00:51:16I will say
00:51:17I didn't expect
00:51:18Integrity to be
00:51:19Called into question
00:51:19I didn't expect
00:51:20The I'm gonna go first
00:51:22Type thing
00:51:22And that's a power move
00:51:23Do your thing
00:51:23But it was a consistent
00:51:24Theme throughout this
00:51:25Process here
00:51:26Where I was always asked
00:51:27Where were you
00:51:28At this time
00:51:28When did this happen
00:51:29What were you doing
00:51:30And I think
00:51:31She was looking
00:51:32For a potential way out
00:51:33To really kind of
00:51:34Find that
00:51:35And was really
00:51:35Targeting my past
00:51:36But if you're gonna
00:51:37Heavily weight
00:51:38You know my past
00:51:39There are some things
00:51:40In hers as well
00:51:41To my integrity
00:51:48I'm sure he's
00:51:49A little annoyed
00:51:50That I called out
00:51:52His integrity
00:51:53In front of all
00:51:53Of his friends
00:51:54And his mom
00:51:55But I don't care
00:51:58I just don't care
00:51:59Today was all about
00:52:00Me
00:52:01I could tell
00:52:01When I walked in
00:52:02He didn't say much
00:52:03Like why did he only
00:52:03Like
00:52:04Because he has nothing
00:52:05To say
00:52:05He knows I'm right
00:52:07That was I don't know
00:52:08Weird
00:52:10He was a loser
00:52:10I was like
00:52:11That's all
00:52:12He didn't love me
00:52:13He didn't even like me
00:52:14I don't think so
00:52:15Really?
00:52:16Yeah
00:52:16He kept talking about
00:52:17How I'm like
00:52:17Not his type
00:52:18And I was like
00:52:19You're not my type
00:52:20For him to sit there
00:52:21And lie
00:52:22I don't think he's here
00:52:23For the right reasons
00:52:24I think
00:52:25He wanted something
00:52:27Else out of this
00:52:28Rather than a wife
00:52:28Just not the right guy
00:52:30Perfect dress
00:52:31Perfect venue
00:52:32Not the perfect guy
00:52:57I've been drifting
00:52:59Away for so long
00:53:02Spillin' out words
00:53:04Till I'm empty
00:53:06Healin' waters
00:53:08Move without sound
00:53:11Asleep through the years
00:53:13Without feeling
00:53:15Today is wedding day
00:53:16And I am beyond excited
00:53:18I don't even know
00:53:18What word to use
00:53:20I'm not running away
00:53:22It's so pretty
00:53:24I knew he was my person
00:53:27And I didn't care
00:53:29What he looked like
00:53:30I knew that I was so crazy
00:53:32In love with him
00:53:33And like
00:53:33The rest didn't matter
00:53:35Like I love him
00:53:36I love his qualities
00:53:37I love his heart
00:53:38I love his mind
00:53:39I love his soul
00:53:40I love how much
00:53:41He loves other people
00:53:43I love how passionate he is
00:53:46I love how smart he is
00:53:47I love how silly he can be
00:53:49I know he's not perfect
00:53:50For everybody
00:53:51But for me
00:53:52He like could not be
00:53:53More perfect for my personality
00:53:55And what I envisioned
00:53:56In my life
00:53:57And what I want
00:53:57In a husband
00:53:58And what I want
00:53:58In the father
00:53:59Of my kids
00:53:59Heart on my sleep
00:54:01Till he kills me
00:54:06I've just been
00:54:07Calm and confident
00:54:09With him
00:54:11You know
00:54:12I know
00:54:15My biggest fear
00:54:17Is just like
00:54:18Not feeling good enough
00:54:25Whether it's
00:54:26Family stuff
00:54:27Or education
00:54:28Stuff
00:54:29Or upbringing stuff
00:54:30A lot of my fear
00:54:31In dating in the past
00:54:32Was that
00:54:32When someone really
00:54:33Gets to know me
00:54:34And see my flaws
00:54:35Or my family's flaws
00:54:37That I wouldn't
00:54:38Feel good enough
00:54:39And that's why
00:54:40This experiment
00:54:40Was so beautiful
00:54:41Because I gave him
00:54:42Everything
00:54:43And he said
00:54:44Like you are good enough
00:54:52And I'm gonna cry
00:54:53Saying it
00:54:54But um
00:54:55He wrote me
00:54:56Something in the pods
00:54:57And like the very
00:54:58First line
00:55:00Was
00:55:01I can't see you
00:55:02But I see you
00:55:04And I felt seen
00:55:05It didn't feel like
00:55:06Some BS wording
00:55:09And so I felt like
00:55:10Really loved
00:55:11And accepted
00:55:12And so that fear
00:55:13Kind of dissipated
00:55:14Like right there
00:55:15In that moment
00:55:15And it hasn't
00:55:16Even crept up
00:55:17Not once since
00:55:21Like now I can't imagine
00:55:23A future without him
00:55:24And I don't want
00:55:25To even try
00:55:26There's still time
00:55:27If you want to run
00:55:28Christy
00:55:30You'll imagine
00:55:31I'm just kidding
00:55:32I'd punch you
00:55:33You know
00:55:34I already told Vic
00:55:36I'd punch him
00:55:38Shandell
00:55:38Vic's sister
00:55:39She's marrying us
00:55:40Did you know that?
00:55:42Yes
00:55:42I can't wait
00:55:43To meet his mom
00:55:43For the first time
00:55:44I don't know
00:55:45Like what I'm gonna say
00:55:46I don't know
00:55:46What she's gonna say
00:55:48I just want to see her
00:55:49And I want to hug her
00:55:49You know Vic's
00:55:50So incredible
00:55:51Like I know his mom's
00:55:52Gonna be too
00:55:52And I'm really excited
00:55:54For her to be here
00:55:56Oh my god
00:55:59Finally
00:56:01That's so sad
00:56:04You look so beautiful
00:56:06Nice meeting you
00:56:10Nice meeting you
00:56:16I'm really trying not to cry
00:56:17I'm really trying
00:56:18Oh my goodness
00:56:20It's lovely to see you
00:56:22It's beautiful
00:56:23Yes
00:56:24You told me a lot about you
00:56:27I'm so glad you could
00:56:29Both make it
00:56:30I know this
00:56:31This is strange
00:56:32Like meeting on the day of
00:56:33I know
00:56:34I'm just happy
00:56:34When he told me
00:56:35He told someone
00:56:36He's happy
00:56:37All right
00:56:38I do know
00:56:39If one thing I know my brother
00:56:40And he's happy
00:56:42He makes me beyond happy
00:56:44This is one of my best friends
00:56:46From college
00:56:46Her name's Tori
00:56:47Hey Tori
00:56:48My other best friend from college
00:56:49This is Amani
00:56:50Hey Amani
00:56:51Nice to meet you
00:56:53She's actually my niece
00:56:54But she's older than me
00:56:55So I call her my sister
00:56:57But this is Karina
00:56:59So happy
00:57:00Like from the way
00:57:01So happy
00:57:02I always wanted to find some
00:57:04Aw
00:57:04Well I'm honored that he chose me
00:57:06He's a beautiful beautiful person
00:57:09I'll let you read it in private
00:57:11You know
00:57:12As you wish
00:57:13But that's
00:57:13Thank you
00:57:14Just a little note
00:57:15I was like
00:57:15I'm not going to have the words
00:57:16And the emotions
00:57:17To say it here in person
00:57:18We do not want that
00:57:20He's either on ring
00:57:21I was like
00:57:22So
00:57:22I like it
00:57:24He's so private
00:57:25He's an introvert
00:57:26I would not have seen him doing this
00:57:28I mean I was like
00:57:29What?
00:57:30You're an introvert
00:57:31Well you know it's funny
00:57:32So am I
00:57:33He thinks that I'm more extroverted than he is
00:57:36And I was like
00:57:36No absolutely not
00:57:37You're way more extroverted than I am
00:57:39Did you guys ever think
00:57:40I would ever do anything like this?
00:57:42Not in a million years
00:57:43I would have never saw this
00:57:44On Christine's bingo card
00:57:45Well when Victor told me
00:57:47I was like
00:57:47Well
00:57:48I was like
00:57:49Really?
00:57:50But when he makes up his mind
00:57:52To do something

01:02:18Good to see you.
01:02:19Thanks.
01:02:22Oh my goodness, I met Christina.
01:02:24You did?
01:02:25Yes.
01:02:25How was that?
01:02:26Oh, it was good.
01:02:27I was nervous at first, but I love her.
01:02:29Yes.
01:02:30I just, you know.
01:02:31Yeah, super warm.
01:02:32Yeah, yeah.
01:02:33Knowing that I got y'all behind me is very much true.
01:02:37I wouldn't miss it for anything.
01:02:40Mm-hmm.
01:02:41Yeah.
01:02:42I was nervous this morning because I've never met her in person.
01:02:46Yeah.
01:02:46Yeah.
01:02:47But once I went up and I met her, it's like, that was it.
01:02:51It's having the support of close friends and then family.
01:02:54That is like very important.
01:02:55Well, as you know, family is important to us.
01:02:58She's heavily family oriented.
01:03:00Yeah.
01:03:00That's a big piece.
01:03:01I told her about the times I gave you hard times as a kid.
01:03:05I told her all the stress that may have caused the family.
01:03:10I remember when you went away to college.
01:03:13When you came back the first semester and you were like following me all around the house apologizing.
01:03:19And you were like, how come you didn't give up on me?
01:03:21And I said, nope.
01:03:22Mm-hmm.
01:03:22We don't give up on our children.
01:03:24Yeah.
01:03:24That was part of growing up.
01:03:26Yeah.
01:03:26Yeah.
01:03:26Christine asked me, did you feel ashamed about it?
01:03:28Those sort of things.
01:03:29And I told her for a while I did.
01:03:30Especially after I kind of came to terms with God and what was right and what was wrong.
01:03:35And then she was reassuring.
01:03:36She was like, I accept you for your past, your present.
01:03:38And she was like, God isn't ashamed of you.
01:03:40Right?
01:03:40It's not about religion.
01:03:41Yeah.
01:03:42As long as you're on that path, I have no concern and no doubt.
01:03:47I'm happy, truly happy for you and Christine.
01:03:50Mm-hmm.
01:03:50Really happy for you all.
01:03:52Yeah.
01:03:54I can't believe my baby is getting married.
01:03:56Can you believe that?
01:03:57Yeah.
01:03:58Yeah.
01:03:58There's no cold feet in making a decision about Christine.
01:04:03I love you.
01:04:04I love you, too.
01:04:05All right.
01:04:05Yeah.
01:04:07Now it's just for her to choose me.
01:04:17Oh, Christine.
01:04:20Beautiful, honey.
01:04:22That is incredible.
01:04:24You look so good.
01:04:25Oh, yeah.
01:04:27Yeah.
01:04:27That was the right dress.
01:04:30Gosh, it means everything if it says yes.
01:04:35Baby, I'm so proud of you, too.
01:04:38I can't wait to be Mrs. St. John.
01:04:46Oh, gosh.
01:05:04I've never felt like this before.
01:05:08You've opened up my eyes when you opened up the doors.
01:05:15And I just want to dive with you in the deep.
01:05:21You want to run now? We can make a run for it.
01:05:25I'm not running anywhere in these shoes.
01:05:29Oh.
01:05:32Hello.
01:05:34How are you?
01:05:35You look incredible.
01:05:39I wanted to tell you I really liked Vic.
01:05:43I mean, I know I said that with him there, but I really did.
01:05:46I got no words of advice for you.
01:05:48You're an accomplished, beautiful young woman.
01:05:51My job is to get you safely down there to your wonderful new life.
01:05:55Please stand.
01:05:58Here we go, Carl.
01:06:39Good afternoon.
01:06:41Victor and Christine are pleased that their closest family and friends
01:06:46have come to witness their exchange of wedding vows.
01:06:50Victor, my one and only baby brother,
01:06:53has been a part of my life since the beginning.
01:06:57Though their meeting was unconventional,
01:07:01their commitment to each other
01:07:03and unwavering support of friends and family
01:07:06will help them bloom together like a new plant taking root.
01:07:11Just as Adam and Eve became one,
01:07:13Victor and Christine shall become one today
01:07:16as well as they become one united in marriage.
01:07:23Um, where do I begin?
01:07:27I'm trying to find my words.
01:07:29Um, Christine, the first time we met,
01:07:35I lost words and then this time you came down the aisle
01:07:37and I can't find my words.
01:07:42I never thought I'd fall in love in such a unique experiment.
01:07:49And Christine, the moment we spoke in those pods
01:07:53and we just connected,
01:07:55it felt so easy getting to know you.
01:07:58You make it easy to open up.
01:08:00You make it easy to be vulnerable.
01:08:01You know more about me than anyone else on this planet at this moment.
01:08:05You accept me for me,
01:08:07then I accept you for you.
01:08:09I'm so grateful
01:08:11to be engaged to you
01:08:13and to see what our next step in this chapter looks like.
01:08:21I think just from the beginning,
01:08:23I felt some kind of connection with you
01:08:25just from hearing your voice.
01:08:26Even from our first 10-minute conversation,
01:08:28I think something in me knew.
01:08:30And every day going forward,
01:08:32getting to know you deeper and deeper,
01:08:34and you let me fully let my guard down
01:08:36and be myself
01:08:37to open up parts of me
01:08:39that maybe are shameful
01:08:41or embarrassing
01:08:43or whatever I interpreted.
01:08:45And the fact that you still fell in love with me
01:08:47and we had such a connection
01:08:49regardless of anything that either of us shared,
01:08:52it just felt so right.
01:08:55It's been such a calm love
01:08:56and an easy love,
01:08:58but very fulfilling and passionate love
01:09:00and very, very, very grateful for you.
01:09:03I'm grateful to you.
01:09:04And I feel honored
01:09:07that I'm here with you.
01:09:12Victor and Christine,
01:09:14you chose to get engaged
01:09:16and spend the rest of your lives together
01:09:18based on a deep emotional connection.
01:09:21Now is the time to decide if love is blind.
01:09:26Will you get married
01:09:27and commit to face a life together
01:09:29as husband and wife
01:09:31or will you walk away forever?
01:09:37Do you take Victor to be your lawfully wedded husband,
01:09:42promising to love and comfort him,
01:09:45to honor him and keep him
01:09:48in sickness and in health,
01:09:50in prosperity and adversity,
01:09:52and forsaken all others
01:09:55as long as you both shall live?
01:09:57If so, please say I do.
01:10:07I do.
01:10:15Victor, do you take Christine
01:10:17to be your lawfully wedded wife?
01:10:20To be your lawfully wedded wife,
01:10:21promising to love and comfort her,
01:10:23to honor her and keep her
01:10:25in sickness and in health,
01:10:27in prosperity and adversity,
01:10:30and forsaken all others
01:10:32as long as you both shall live?
01:10:34If so, please say I do.
01:10:37You're a special woman,
01:10:39and you're more than that.
01:10:40You're my woman,
01:10:42you're my rib,
01:10:43and I do.
01:10:49I now pronounce you
01:10:52husband and wife.
01:10:54Victor, you may now kiss
01:10:56your beautiful bride.
01:11:22For the St. John's.
01:11:23St. John's, baby.
01:11:24What a beautiful thing.
01:11:26Yeah, nice meeting you.
01:11:32Best day of my life times ten.
01:11:35Yeah.
01:11:36Never felt love like this.
01:11:37Yeah.
01:11:40My forever.
01:11:42Forever, ever.
01:11:43Ever, ever.
01:11:44We've got to merge into families.
01:11:46We've got a tribe now.
01:11:47Yeah.
01:11:48Yeah.
01:11:49With my wife.
01:11:52That's what I'm looking forward to.
01:11:54Same.
01:11:55I've got to show you the electric slide later.
01:11:58Might have to take my shoes off for that.
01:11:59Yeah, yeah.
01:12:02Yeah, I love you too.
01:12:05Next chapter.
01:12:06Best chapter.
01:12:07How do you know?
01:12:35Emma was feeling that it was an I do, and I was definitely shocked.
01:12:39So light the flame and walk away.
01:12:45It's not that I don't want to be with her, I do.
01:12:47But at the same time, it was coming off as if almost she didn't want the responsibility of children ever.
01:12:52And that's scary to me.
01:12:56I didn't want to hurt Emma, and I truly do believe, even with this happening today, I do think that
01:13:02love is blind.
01:13:06I still do think that love is blind, but I do think that there are big things in life, like
01:13:15children, that you, I guess, can't be blind on.
01:13:21Especially for him.
01:13:27Absolutely no regrets on my end.
01:13:29I'm so pleased and proud of myself as a person.
01:13:31I would say love is blind to an extent.
01:13:33One of the biggest things I've learned from this process is the emotional connection needs to be prioritized over the
01:13:39physical.
01:13:39The physical is still important to me.
01:13:42I'm not saying it needs to be important to everybody else, but to me, I need a physical match that
01:13:46makes me very, very happy.
01:13:48Moving forward from me, seeing what happens next, staying open to everything that comes for me.
01:13:57Ashley, a year ago, would have let him walk all over me.
01:14:00She would have said yes, and she would have been miserable living a life with him.
01:14:05But today, I stood my ground.
01:14:06I walked away from something because it no longer brought me joy.
01:14:10I think this process has definitely helped me figure out what I want, what I don't want, what I'll accept
01:14:16in a relationship.
01:14:16I want a love that lasts a lifetime.
01:14:19I don't want some mediocre love.
01:14:22And he falls very short of what I deserve in this life.
01:14:31Join me in welcoming Mr. and Mrs. Bay!
01:14:41Yeah, let's go.
01:14:44We're both ecstatic right now.
01:14:46It's so much fun.
01:14:47It's amazing.
01:14:47Oh, yeah!
01:14:49I don't know if you want to be funny, but I swear I won't be.
01:14:53If you've heard that before, but that wasn't me.
01:14:58Every promise I make is a promise I make.
01:15:00So in love with Jordan.
01:15:01Like, I've always...
01:15:02Like a 7 out of 10?
01:15:03A 10!
01:15:06It's really amazing.
01:15:11I just love you, baby.
01:15:11Yeah.
01:15:12It's what I do.
01:15:15Three and five!
01:15:17Yeah!
01:15:22Mr. and Mrs. St. John!
01:15:34Being married feels just like it should.
01:15:37It feels perfect.
01:15:37Yeah, and on top of the world.
01:15:39Yeah, couldn't be happier.
01:15:40I mean, it's been...
01:15:41It's incredible to have his family and his friends and mine.
01:15:44There's so much love and support.
01:15:46It's a really special feeling.
01:15:49Any promise I made
01:15:51Is a promise I'll keep invitation
01:15:55Time for you to believe me
01:15:58And I'm gonna show you
01:16:01Last thing, it's, like, T minus two hours
01:16:04until you guys use the box.
01:16:06Yeah, are we on the countdown?
01:16:08That box.
01:16:10Um...
01:16:11Yeah, that...
01:16:11Well, I just found out my sister and their kids
01:16:13Her kids are staying in the same hotel as we are.
01:16:15Oh, they are?
01:16:16Well, they're not staying in the same room.
01:16:17You'll be the proof
01:16:22I'm gonna let you
01:16:27You'll be the proof
01:16:34I'm assuming you're hearing this for the first time.
01:16:36Oh, my God.
01:16:38I'm not proud of a lot of those moments.
01:16:40The reality was very, very different than what was being shown.
01:16:43He's really bad.
01:16:44It wasn't anything.
01:16:46Did you not know that I had my engagement ring on?
01:16:48I literally did not.
01:16:49Were you lying?
01:16:51I told you!
01:16:52Don't fucking do that!
01:16:57I told you!
