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
00:08:07so
00:08:09drop my defenses
00:08:10baby I'm helpless
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 relationships that you've been in i'm gonna cry but like you've just come like so far
00:09:17yeah there's been a lot i'm like really proud of you i know this wasn't easy no it was not
00:09:25i feel
00:09:26like we've worked so hard to get here he had to meet my daughter's dad he had to meet my
00:09:30daughter
00:09:31there's a lot of stress with work traveling back and forth from mount vernon you know we had a few
00:09:35stress moments but to get through everything it's just been such a wild crazy and amazing ride

00:09:55what happens we're here for you we love you that's why you're here out of you so my biggest fear
00:10:02is how
00:10:02jordan feels like if he's feeling a lot of pressure or anything like i know it's like changing his
00:10:08life and maybe he does kind of want to like run if that's his decision as well so that's been
00:10:13kind

00:19:07you
00:19:07you
00:19:07you
00:19:33I just want you to know that, of course, I support you.
00:19:35I think that Jordan is a good guy.
00:19:39Sounds to me like he really likes you.
00:19:41I fucking hope!
00:19:43Does that mean better?
00:19:45Yeah, 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.
00:19:51I'm personally expecting this not to go through,
00:19:54just because I think that, you know, maybe 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, but that's, like, a lot to ask for him.
00:20:18I'm understanding either way, though.
00:20:22I will say this.
00:20:24Till the day I died, I think that you deserve the best.
00:20:29And...
00:20:30Aww!
00:20:31Woo-hoo!
00:20:33Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:20:34Everything's coming into view
00:20:37The start of it all
00:20:42Soap and new
00:20:47Here on the ground
00:20:49Up to the moon
00:20:53We're feeling again
00:20:56That's pretty girl.
00:20:58Good job, baby, Carrie.
00:20:59She's so cute.
00:21:01Let's go.
00:21:34I'm so ready.
00:21:36Mm-hmm.
00:21:43I see mommy.
00:21:46Aw, sorry.
00:21:49I love you.
00:21:58You look so good.
00:22:01Sweet.
00:22:01I love this part.
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, and fills life with meaning and joy.
00:22:31Amber and Jordan stand before us, ready 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 a situation.
00:22:52He is always looking to say hi to the stranger.
00:22:55He made, like, seven airport friends over a CPAP.
00:22:58Like, he's starting a CPAP club, actually, if he was interested in joining.
00:23:05Um, he 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, and he makes me step back and realize, like, what truly matters in
00:23:19life.
00:23:27Amber, we 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 and spend the rest of your lives together based on a deep,
00:23:52emotional 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 as husband and wife, or will you walk away forever?
00:24:22Amber, do you take Jordan to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:24:26Do you solemnly vow to be his faithful partner in sickness and in health?
00:24:31In good times and in bad, and 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.
00:24:58I do.
00:25:00But I understand if there's any doubts.
00:25:05I have a lot going on.
00:25:13Jordan, do you take Amber to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:25:17Do you solemnly vow to be her faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad?
00:25:23Do you promise to love her unconditionally, to honor and respect her, and to cherish her as long as you
00:25:30both shall live?
00:25:31If so, say, I do.
00:25:56I want to follow my heart and say that I do.
00:26:00Do you?
00:26:01So your answer is?
00:26:02I do.
00:26:09So your answer is?
00:26:13I do.
00:26:13Oh, my God!
00:26:15Oh, my God!
00:26:16Oh, my God!
00:26:18What?
00:26:18Oh, my God!
00:26:24Oh, my God!
00:26:26God!
00:26:26It was young!
00:26:27I feel very certain.
00:26:34Jordan, you may kiss your bride.
00:26:47Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan and Amber Faith.
00:27:01That's crazy.
00:27:02My sister told me, you know, just 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. That's crazy.
00:27:21Really?
00:27:24At least you're my person.
00:27:27You're mine too.
00:27:29Alright.
00:27:30Let's have some fun.
00:27:32Come here.
00:27:36Are you excited?
00:27:38Yeah.
00:27:42Cheers.
00:27:44Cheers.
00:27:54Cheers.
00:27:57Cheers.
00:28:02Cheers.
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.
00:28:17Nails, 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, they were so excited
00:28:30that everything that I've always wanted was happening.
00:28:33Today was supposed to be our wedding day, but 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, can I love you
00:29:07how 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%.
00:29:17I 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
00:29:48to 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.
00:30:31Only time will tell.
00:30:33Yeah, and I'm like,
00:30:34I don't know what the future holds.
00:30:35I don't, like, if I did, like,
00:30:38life 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
00:31:15was something that 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
00:31:22and did the 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
00:31:32would make him see my natural beauty.
00:31:35Yeah, 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.
00:32:01She is sometimes like a shadow to me
00:32:03and I'm just, like, sometimes I'm, like,
00:32:06just wait out there.
00:32:07I'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.
00:32:20We 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,
00:32:48if 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?
00:33:03I think what I'm most fearful of
00:33:05is having to start all over.
00:33:07If for some reason we don't work,
00:33:09I'm fearful to have to
00:33:13be vulnerable with somebody else
00:33:15all over again
00:33:18because it was really hard to do it
00:33:20in this instance,
00:33:23but it paid off
00:33:24because now I have
00:33:26the 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
00:33:34back to all of those feelings
00:33:36of why we fell in love
00:33:38and 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.
00:33:47It would have been hard for me
00:33:49to go through today
00:33:52knowing that we aren't getting married.
00:33:54Like, 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 die
00:34:11It starts right here
00:34:18It starts right here
00:34:21It'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
00:34:31I've been lied to
00:34:32and fell in love with Alex
00:34:33because 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
00:34:40Love 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.
00:34:51And I just remember being all in
00:34:52and telling my dad, like,
00:34:54I 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.
00:35:04Did 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 have the adult life that he had.
00:35:21You know, his dreams were taken away from him.
00:35:23He had trouble in his childhood
00:35:24with, you know, stepfathers, fathers,
00:35:26whatever it was.
00:35:28I had such a different life.
00:35:30Hi!
00:35:30Hi, girls!
00:35:32Hi, Mom.
00:35:33Hi, baby.
00:35:33I have lived a very stable life
00:35:36with a great family.
00:35:38And he is not.
00:35:40But 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.
00:36:03I am the bride.
00:36:04The bride.
00:36:05I'm the bride.
00:36:07I can't believe it.
00:36:18I think Ashley makes
00:36:20a phenomenal life
00:36:21in a number of ways.
00:36:22Just the confidence that she has.
00:36:24She meets every single thing
00:36:25that I could want checked
00:36:27in 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
00:36:34a top-tier partner
00:36:35when it comes to, you know,
00:36:36choosing a wife.
00:36:40Are you nervous
00:36:41to walk down the wedding aisle?
00:36:42No.
00:36:43I mean, you play Division I soccer,
00:36:45you know what I'm talking about.
00:36:46You walk out, like,
00:36:46the 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.
00:36:49I am ready to marry Ashley.
00:36:50And the fact that I'm able
00:36:51to stay cool, calm, and collected
00:36:52on 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
00:36:58on the goalkeeper ever
00:36:59because they're supposed to score.
00:37:00I, as a goalkeeper,
00:37:02felt very, very confident
00:37:03in, you know,
00:37:03making saves at that point.
00:37:05You kind of walk around
00:37:06with your shoulders out
00:37:07ready to, you know,
00:37:08make the save that you need to.
00:37:09And at the moment,
00:37:09that's kind of what
00:37:10this feels like today.
00:37:11Big stakes.
00:37:11You decide the game today.
00:37:13It's not that I'm emotionally numb
00:37:14or anything like that.
00:37:15It's more, I've been here before.
00:37:17I do feel confident
00:37:18in 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.
00:37:23Oh, yeah,
00:37:23I got to 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.
00:37:34She's a phenomenal person.
00:37:35Great partner.
00:37:36What kind of family
00:37:37does she come from?
00:37:37Older brother
00:37:38and then her father
00:37:39was definitely extroverted
00:37:41for sure.
00:37:42You said he's
00:37:42a divorce attorney?
00:37:43Yeah, dude, that was nuts.
00:37:45That's why the family
00:37:45to marry.
00:37:46Yeah, it was insane, dude.
00:37:47That's where you want to be.
00:37:48You got grilled, I'm sure.
00:37:49I did.
00:37:50I did.
00:37:51So, like, I day trade,
00:37:52obviously, and, like,
00:37:53I know the Australian dollar.
00:37:55We were talking about crypto
00:37:55for a little bit.
00:37:56Yeah.
00:37:57He'll start talking
00:37:58about something else
00:37:59and then randomly
00:38:00he'll just be like,
00:38:00all right,
00:38:01so what's the price
00:38:01of crypto right now?
00:38:02I'm like,
00:38:02I don't trade that first off.
00:38:04Off the top of my head?
00:38:05Yeah, like, what?
00:38:06You know,
00:38:07I don't really think
00:38:08I have any fears
00:38:09at the moment.
00:38:10I mean,
00:38:10outside of maybe sharks
00:38:11in the water,
00:38:11but that's, you know,
00:38:12I think pretty normal.
00:38:14What's up, boys?
00:38:15Who's sexy?
00:38:17Rip one sleeve off
00:38:18and show off the arm.
00:38:19I would love to.
00:38:21Oh, dude.
00:38:23My guys.
00:38:24Gracias, chico.
00:38:31Hi.
00:38:34I'm so excited.
00:38:36Wow.
00:38:37Sparkly?
00:38:38You sparkly?
00:38:38You gonna get me?
00:38:39Yeah, I don't want
00:38:40to get my lipstick on you.
00:38:41How you doing?
00:38:41Good, how are you?
00:38:42Good.
00:38:43Wow, you clean up okay?
00:38:45Thank 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 head.
00:38:53Good.
00:38:54Where I should be.
00:38:55Well, I'm proud of you.
00:38:57Sad Nana and Bopper
00:38:58aren't here to see you.
00:38:59I kind of felt them here
00:39:00a little bit.
00:39:01I mean, they're around,
00:39:02for sure.
00:39:02Yeah, of course they are.
00:39:03For sure.
00:39:03And I'm just certain
00:39:04they are very proud of you.
00:39:06I hope so.
00:39:07I hope so.
00:39:08A lot of this day
00:39:09has been the pregame warm-up,
00:39:10and now you've started
00:39:11to put the gloves on
00:39:12and the cleats on,
00:39:13and you're in the locker room
00:39:14with the boys beforehand,
00:39:15and you're really figuring out,
00:39:16okay, like,
00:39:16the moment's here.
00:39:18I think we're basically
00:39:19walking out to the field
00:39:20right 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.
00:39:34Ah!
00:39:35Oh, my God.
00:39:36That's so sweet.
00:39:38Okay, everybody,
00:39:38don't cry.
00:39:40Don't cry.
00:39:40You're really like
00:39:41a walking Barbie.
00:39:42Yeah, I do.
00:39:43Yeah.
00:39:44Bye, babe.
00:39:45Oh, the button.
00:39:47The button,
00:39:47they're so pretty.
00:39:48Nice.
00:39:48Perfect.
00:39:50Baby.
00:39:51I love you.
00:39:52I love you, babe.
00:40:07I love you.
00:40:15Do 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, I did have some self-doubt.
00:40:37I clearly wasn't having any luck in the dating pool in Cleveland,
00:40:40and I didn't know if I'd be everybody's cup of tea.
00:40:44I'm just this boring girl from a small town in Ohio.
00:40:47You look fantastic.
00:40:48Boy, that is a pretty dress.
00:40:50I've been crying all day.
00:40:52But the people I've met, the men that I've dated,
00:40:55the man that I'm about to marry,
00:40:56everything that I've had here has made me so much more confident.
00:41:00Do you think I've changed throughout this process?
00:41:02I do.
00:41:03It feels amazing to put on my dress.
00:41:05There have been many conversations that I'm not Alex's type.
00:41:13So I hope when he sees me today, he realizes how wrong he is.
00:41:18If I'm being completely honest, I would be shocked if Alex said yes.
00:41:22I'd be happy.
00:41:24Obviously, nobody wants to be rejected,
00:41:26but I am more so expecting a no from Alex.
00:41:30Love you.
00:41:31Love you, Tweet.
00:41:34You all excited?
00:41:35Yes.
00:41:36You all ready?
00:41:37Yeah.
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 is 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 is going to be the love of my life.
00:41:59And if it's Alex, it is Alex.
00:42:01If we choose each other today,
00:42:03then he will be the person that changes my life for the better.
00:42:06I know that I am choosing someone today because of happiness.
00:42:11I'm confident and ready.
00:42:14To your big day.
00:42:16To the big day.
00:42:17Alex and Ashley's big day.
00:42:20Oh, goodness.
00:42:47Oh, my God.
00:42:49Yeah.
00:42:50Oh, my God.
00:42:52Oh, my God.
00:42:53I'm so nervous.
00:42:54Your future is right in front of you.
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.
00:43:06You more nervous now or when you did that first tournament?
00:43:10Probably now.
00:43:16Ladies and gentlemen, will you please rise for the entrance of our bride?
00:43:22Oh, no.
00:43:24Here we go.
00:43:25Oh, my God.
00:43:26Oh, my God.
00:43:28Do you pray with us?
00:43:42Oh, my God.
00:43:43Oh, my God.
00:43:43Come on.
00:43:45Bye.
00:43:45Bye, bye.
00:43:47Bye, bye.
00:43:49Bye.
00:44:11Thank you, sir.
00:44:16You may be seated, everyone.
00:44:24Good.
00:44:24Okay.
00:44:26Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today to celebrate Ashley and Alex.
00:44:33A unique love born from truly unique circumstances.
00:44:38While there are many dimensions to love, arguably the most beautiful is that love has no requirements.
00:44:45And it knows no limitations based on who you are or how you look.
00:44:49So it is with love in mind that we celebrate these two wonderful people today.
00:44:55They have come so far together.
00:44:58From sitting in the pods, excited for the chance to learn about each other,
00:45:02to standing on this platform today, ready for the chance to share their feelings for each other.
00:45:18Ashley, from the moment we stepped into the pods together, obviously I knew that you were very, very special.
00:45:23Whether it's riding horseback in Mexico or competing on the golf course together, it's incredible to 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 every second of this.
00:45:46Alex, this has been a crazy roller coaster.
00:45:50I'm sure everyone here is going to think I'm completely insane when I say that I fell for you.
00:45:55When I was stepping into a pod, you became my best friend.
00:45:59I fell in love with you.
00:46:01You're back.
00:46:02Not bad.
00:46:07Ashley and Alex, you chose to get engaged and spend the rest of your lives together based on a deep
00:46:14emotional connection.
00:46:16Now is the time to decide if love is blind.
00:46:25Will you get married and commit to face life together as husband and wife, or will you walk away forever?
00:46:34Alex, we're going to begin with you.
00:46:39Alex, do you take Ashley to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward,
00:46:45for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor and cherish,
00:46:52forsaking all others, so long as you both shall live?
00:46:57If so, say I do.
00:47:06I know your answer, and it doesn't matter to me.
00:47:10I know you don't choose me, and I'm not choosing you either.
00:47:18When we were in the pods, all of our stories, all of our future plans, they aligned perfectly.
00:47:23However, once we left the pods, there was no effort.
00:47:27There was no intimacy.
00:47:28There were no questions that you had for me.
00:47:30And I felt like as soon as we moved into the apartment, we were roommates.
00:47:40Something always kind of felt off.
00:47:43Your stories were so vivid, they were so detailed.
00:47:46You would say a lot of words, but somehow I just found myself more confused at the end of our
00:47:51conversations.
00:47:52Okay.
00:47:54Lying is a non-negotiable for me, and I'm sure it is for you as well.
00:47:59Mm-hmm.
00:48:00I lead my life with integrity, which is one of the reasons you've told me that you fall in love
00:48:04with me, and I expect my husband to do the same thing.
00:48:07That's okay.
00:48:07Unfortunately, I do feel like you have missed that mark.
00:48:10Okay.
00:48:14Wow.
00:48:16I used to ignore red flags.
00:48:20I accepted dishonesty, and I spent far too much time waiting for a man to love me that was not
00:48:28my person.
00:48:29I think this process has really made us grow, and I'm very proud of the woman I am today, and
00:48:34I hope you're proud of the man that you are through all of this.
00:48:37Absolutely.
00:48:39If I was standing here a year ago, I would have ignored all of the red flags, all of the
00:48:45lies.
00:48:45I would have probably thought, I can change him, or just give it some more time, and I would have
00:48:50spent far too much time waiting for you to become the man that I deserve.
00:48:55Because I know I deserve something extraordinary, and I deserve so much better.
00:49:07So I am so sorry, but it is a no for me today.
00:49:14Okay.
00:49:16I would like to say I completely respect that from you.
00:49:20I do disagree to an extent about the integrity.
00:49:23I felt as though the questions about my past were more to try and catch me in something that didn't
00:49:28really understand me.
00:49:29I do live a very different lifestyle.
00:49:31I do my best to explain it as much as possible.
00:49:34I personally don't think that I've missed the mark on integrity, but I do understand the rest of your feelings,
00:49:39and I respect your feelings without a doubt.
00:49:41From my end, it's mutual.
00:49:46Saying no to you today is a win.
00:49:53We love you.
00:49:54We love you.
00:49:56We love you.
00:49:58We love you.
00:49:59Come on, baby.
00:49:59Rain slips between my fingers.
00:50:03And it's washing you away.
00:50:06Rain so my tears don't linger.
00:50:10Rain down like a hurricane.
00:50:14Got to hug mine and sing, ah.
00:50:18And it's washing you away.
00:50:21She thought I would cause him a liar.
00:50:22No.
00:50:23No.
00:50:23That just was not right.
00:50:25It's washing you away.
00:50:34All right.
00:50:35Clocked that guy.
00:50:39Appreciate you, boys.
00:50:41We got you, bro.
00:50:41We got you.
00:50:43We got you.
00:50:43Come here.
00:50:44We're good.
00:50:44I know, but I'm just not happy with her calling you a liar,
00:50:49because you're not.
00:50:50I know that, and everyone here knows that,
00:50:52so I'm exactly where I should be,
00:50:53and where I needed to be.
00:50:55Very confident.
00:50:56You're a great person and a great man.
00:50:57Appreciate you, bro.
00:50:58You'll be a great husband 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 about the rest of it.
00:51:05She's a great girl.
00:51:06There's no ill will, no hard feelings towards her.
00:51:08She feels a certain way.
00:51:10I respect that.
00:51:11You wanna go see if she's okay?
00:51:13No.
00:51:14What do you mean?
00:51:16I will say I didn't expect integrity to be called into question.
00:51:20I didn't expect the I'm gonna go first type thing,
00:51:22and that's a power move.
00:51:23Do your thing.
00:51:23But it was a consistent theme throughout this process here
00:51:26where I was always asked,
00:51:27where were you at this time?
00:51:28When did this happen?
00:51:29What were you doing?
00:51:30And I think she was looking for a potential way out
00:51:33to really kinda find that and was really targeting my past.
00:51:37But if you're gonna heavily weight, you know, my past,
00:51:39there are some things in hers as well.
00:51:41to my integrity.
00:51:48I'm sure he's a little annoyed that I called out his integrity
00:51:53in front of all of his friends and his mom,
00:51:55but I don't care.
00:51:58I just don't care.
00:51:59Today was all about me.
00:52:01I could tell when I walked in.
00:52:02He didn't even say much.
00:52:03Like, why did he only, like...
00:52:04Because he has nothing to say.
00:52:05Yeah.
00:52:05He knows I'm right.
00:52:06Anything.
00:52:07Anything to say.
00:52:07That was, I don't know, weird.
00:52:09That was weird.
00:52:10He was a loser.
00:52:11I was like, that's all?
00:52:11You didn't always say that part?
00:52:12He didn't love me.
00:52:13He didn't even like me, I don't think so.
00:52:15Really?
00:52:16Yeah, every...
00:52:16He kept talking about how I'm, like, not his type,
00:52:18and I was like, you're not my type.
00:52:20For him to sit there and lie,
00:52:22I don't think he's here for the right reasons.
00:52:24I think he wanted something else out of this,
00:52:28rather than a wife.
00:52:29Just not the right guy.
00:52:30Perfect dress, perfect venue.
00:52:32Not the perfect guy.
00:52:57I've been drifting away for so long.
00:53:03Spilling out words till I'm empty.
00:53:06Healing waters.
00:53:09Move without sound.
00:53:12Asleep through the years without feeling.
00:53:15Today is wedding day and I am beyond excited.
00:53:18I don't even know what word to use.
00:53:20I'm not running away.
00:53:22Oh, it's so pretty.
00:53:24I knew he was my person,
00:53:27and I didn't care what he looked like.
00:53:30I knew that I was so crazy in love with him.
00:53:33Like, the 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 he loves other people.
00:53:43I love how passionate he is.
00:53:45I love how smart he is.
00:53:47I love how silly he can be.
00:53:49I know he's not perfect for everybody,
00:53:51but for me, he, like, could not be more perfect
00:53:54for my personality and what I envisioned in my life
00:53:57and what I want in a husband
00:53:58and what I want in the father of my kids.
00:54:00Heart on my sleeve till he kills me.
00:54:06I've just been calm and confident with him.
00:54:11I know.
00:54:12I know.
00:54:16My biggest fear is just, like, not feeling good enough.
00:54:26Whether it's family stuff or education stuff
00:54:29or upbringing stuff,
00:54:30a lot of my fear in dating in the past
00:54:32was that when someone really gets to know me
00:54:33and see my flaws or my family's flaws,
00:54:37that I wouldn't feel good enough.
00:54:39And that's why this experiment was so beautiful
00:54:41because it gave him everything.
00:54:43And he said, like, you are good enough.
00:54:51And, oh, I'm gonna cry saying it, but, um,
00:54:55he wrote me something in the pods.
00:54:57And, like, the very first line was,
00:55:01I can't see you, but I see you.
00:55:04And I felt seen.
00:55:05It didn't feel like some BS wording.
00:55:09And so I felt, like, really loved and accepted.
00:55:12And so that fear kind of dissipated,
00:55:14like, right there in that moment,
00:55:15and it hasn't even crept up not once since.
00:55:22Like, now I can't imagine a future without him.
00:55:24And I don't want to even try.
00:55:26There's still time if you want to run, Christy.
00:55:30You'll imagine.
00:55:31I'm just kidding.
00:55:33I'd punch you.
00:55:33You know what?
00:55:35I already told Vic I'd punch him.
00:55:38Shandell, Vic's sister, she's marrying us.
00:55:41Did you know that?
00:55:41Yes.
00:55:42I can't wait to meet his mom for the first time.
00:55:44I don't know, like, what I'm gonna say.
00:55:46I don't know what she's gonna say.
00:55:47Like, I just want to see her, and I want to hug her.
00:55:50You know, Vic's so incredible.
00:55:51Like, I know his mom's gonna be, too.
00:55:53And I'm really excited for her to be here.
00:55:57Oh, my God!
00:55:59Finally!
00:56:01That's so sad.
00:56:05You look so beautiful, baby.
00:56:09She's nice to meet you.
00:56:11Oh, my God.
00:56:12I'm scared to meet you.
00:56:13I'm scared to meet you.
00:56:14I'm scared to meet you.
00:56:15Aw.
00:56:16I know.
00:56:16I'm really trying not to cry.
00:56:18I'm really trying.
00:56:19Oh, my goodness.
00:56:20It's lovely to meet you.
00:56:22It's lovely to meet you.
00:56:24You told me a lot about you.
00:56:26I know.
00:56:27It's about you.
00:56:28I'm so glad you could both make it.
00:56:30I know this is strange, like, meeting on the day of.
00:56:33I know.
00:56:34I was happy when he told me.
00:56:35Yes.
00:56:36He's happy.
00:56:37Right.
00:56:38I do know.
00:56:39If one thing I know my brother, and he's happy.
00:56:42Well, he makes me beyond happy.
00:56:44This is, um, one of my best friends from college.
00:56:46Her name's Tori.
00:56:47Hey, Tori.
00:56:48My other best friend from college, this is Amani.
00:56:50Hey, Amani.
00:56:51Nice to meet you.
00:56:53And then this is, um, she's actually my niece, but she's older than me.
00:56:55So I call her my sister, but this is Karina.
00:56:59I'm so happy, like, from the wife.
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.
00:57:07He's a beautiful, beautiful person.
00:57:10I'll let you read it, um, in private, you know, as you wish, but that's, uh...
00:57:14Just a little note.
00:57:15I was like, I'm not gonna have the words and the emotions to say it here in person.
00:57:18No, this is a little makeup.
00:57:19We do not want that.
00:57:20Yes.
00:57:20Let me see the arm ring.
00:57:21Who?
00:57:21I was like, so, I 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, what?
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, no, absolutely not.
00:57:37You're way more extroverted than I am.
00:57:39Did you guys ever think I would ever do anything like this?
00:57:42Not in a million years.
00:57:43I would have never saw this on Christine's bingo card.
00:57:46Well, when Victor told me, I was like, well...
00:57:48I was like, really?
00:57:50But when he makes up his mind to do something, I know he's taken the time to research it.
00:57:54So I was just like, okay, fine.
00:57:56Like me, I'm from New York.
00:57:58So I have a distrustful demeanor.
00:58:00But I spoke to her and I instantly liked her.
00:58:04She's genuine.
00:58:05And she came into this process wanting to find love.
00:58:08But yeah.
00:58:09And she's found it.
00:58:10And I'm happy.
00:58:11I know he wants to find a wife.
00:58:14I'm happy for y'all.
00:58:15Yes.
00:58:16I'm excited.
00:58:17I'm happy.
00:58:18Me too.
00:58:19I'm happy you guys are happy.
00:58:21I'm happy.
00:58:21And it's nice meeting you.
00:58:23Go ahead and get ready.
00:58:25We'll see you.
00:58:26We'll see you.
00:58:26And we'll see you.
00:58:27Bye.
00:58:28I'm not as nervous anymore.
00:58:39Hi, guys.
00:58:41There she is.
00:58:43Oh, my gosh.
00:58:44You look gorgeous.
00:58:46You look gorgeous, baby.
00:58:50Hi.
00:58:50Are you feeling, are you good?
00:58:53You're not.
00:58:55I'm feeling more like a bride.
00:58:57I knew I was going to be a wife.
00:58:58You know what I mean?
00:58:59Mm-hmm.
00:59:00But I feel like a bride today, which is fun and exciting.
00:59:03I got to meet Vic's mom.
00:59:05Did you like her?
00:59:06Was she nice?
00:59:07Yeah.
00:59:07And his sister came up too.
00:59:09So I got to meet them both.
00:59:10And they got to chit chat with everybody.
00:59:12Melody, can you believe it?
00:59:14This is so neat.
00:59:16I know.
00:59:17Tori, are you getting nervous too?
00:59:19I'm not nervous.
00:59:20I'm happy.
00:59:21Oh, oh, oh.
00:59:23Lift me on the ground.
00:59:27Never coming down.
00:59:30Today's wedding day.
00:59:31The emotional connection Christine and I have,
00:59:34it's enough for a lifetime.
00:59:35Oh, yeah.
00:59:36We're dancing, dancing.
00:59:38We can't wait till these lights is ready now.
00:59:42Fell in love with Christine before I even saw her.
00:59:44I know Christine.
00:59:45Like, I know all the parts of her,
00:59:48and she knows all the parts of me.
00:59:50She called me her Build-A-Bear husband.
00:59:51I'm like, all right,
00:59:52you better put some patches on that Build-A-Bear
00:59:54because, you know, I got scars,
00:59:55and I'm not perfect in any way, shape, or form.
00:59:58But that's the thing,
00:59:59is that her imperfections, my imperfections,
01:00:01we see beauty in it.
01:00:07I can't say what's in that box.
01:00:10I can't.
01:00:11It's between a husband and a wife.
01:00:17Hey, how about C?
01:00:18Hey.
01:00:18Where's the man?
01:00:19Okay.
01:00:20This is nice.
01:00:21Yes, sir.
01:00:23Yes, sir.
01:00:26Brother, brother.
01:00:27How's everything, bro?
01:00:28Yes, sir.
01:00:29Yes, sir.
01:00:30What's going on?
01:00:32How you feeling, man?
01:00:33Oh, feeling good.
01:00:34Feeling really good.
01:00:35Feeling good?
01:00:36Yeah, man.
01:00:37Thanks, y'all.
01:00:38Thanks.
01:00:39Game time feeling really good.
01:00:40That's good.
01:00:41Yeah, yeah.
01:00:41So my question is, how you gonna walk out?
01:00:45What you mean?
01:00:45You just gonna be like...
01:00:48I'm gonna run down the aisle.
01:00:51All that I want, all that I do,
01:00:54right here in front of me.
01:00:56They call me Bullseye.
01:00:57Now, let me ask you this.
01:01:00I ask Christine's rhythm,
01:01:02because we're gonna be partying.
01:01:03You know what I mean?
01:01:04It's gonna be music playing.
01:01:04That's a legit question.
01:01:08Man, we gonna hit it.
01:01:09We gonna hit it.
01:01:12She'll be good.
01:01:13She'll be good.
01:01:14I'm gonna have to show her the electric slide in real time.
01:01:19You know how to do the electric slide?
01:01:21I'm liable to hurt somebody.
01:01:23We're gonna show you how to electric slide, bro.
01:01:25So stand up next to me.
01:01:27Good.
01:01:28No, you're doing good.
01:01:28Yeah.
01:01:29Keep it going.
01:01:29I got that style.
01:01:31Got that look.
01:01:32Every trick in everything.
01:01:34Do you know what I'm singing?
01:01:37Two, three, four to the one.
01:01:39And I'm losing track of time.
01:01:41Four to the one.
01:01:41Two, three, two, three, four.
01:01:45Hey, pick it up.
01:01:47Hey, pick it up.
01:01:48Hey, pick it up.
01:01:49The way you make me feel.
01:01:56The way you make me feel.
01:01:58The way you make me feel.
01:02:01The way you make me feel.
01:02:09The way you make me feel.
01:02:13What up, ma?
01:02:15Oh, my.
01:02:16Oh, my.
01:02:16Oh, my.
01:02:17How you doing?
01:02:18Good.
01:02:18Good to see you.
01:02:19I'm good.
01:02:22Oh, my goodness, I met Christina.
01:02:24You good?
01:02:25Yeah.
01:02:25How was that?
01:02:26Oh, it was good. I was nervous at first, but I love her.
01:02:29I 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 for sure.
01:02:37I wouldn't miss it for anything.
01:02:40Yeah.
01:02:42I was nervous this morning because I've never met her in person.
01:02:46Yeah.
01:02:47But once I went up and I met her, it's like, that was it.
01:02:51Just having the support of close friends and then family, that is very important.
01:02:55Well, as you know, family is important to us.
01:02:58She's heavily family-oriented.
01:03:00So that'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.
01:03:19How come you didn't give up on me?
01:03:21And I said, nope, we 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 next to me.
01:03:27Did you feel ashamed about it?
01:03:28Those sort of things.
01:03:29And I told her for a while I did, especially after I kind of came to terms with God and
01:03:33what 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.
01:03:52Yeah.
01:03:54I can't believe my baby's getting married.
01:03:56Could you believe that?
01:03:57Yeah.
01:03:58Yeah.
01:03:59There'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.
01:04:07Now it's just for her to choose me.
01:04:17Oh, pretty, pretty.
01:04:20Beautiful, honey.
01:04:22That is incredible.
01:04:24You look so good.
01:04:25Oh, yeah.
01:04:27Yeah, that 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.
01:05:09You've opened up my eyes when you opened up the door.
01:05:15And I just want to die with you in the deep...
01:05:21You want to run now?
01:05:22We can make a run for it.
01:05:25I'm not running anywhere in these shoes.
01:05:35I'm not running anywhere in my eyes.
01:05:41I'm not running anywhere in my eyes.
01:05:42I'm not running anywhere in the deep...
01:05:42I don't know.
01:05:47People...
01:05:48You're an accomplished, beautiful young woman.
01:05:51My job is to get you safely down there
01:05:53to your wonderful new life.
01:05:55Please stand.
01:05:58Here we go, Carl.
01:06:33Please be seated.
01:06:39Good afternoon.
01:06:41Victor and Christine are pleased
01:06:43that 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.
01:06:58Though 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
01:07:08like 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.
01:07:22Um...
01:07:23Where do I begin?
01:07:27I'm trying to find my words.
01:07:30Um...
01:07:32Christine, the first time we met, I lost words,
01:07:36and 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
01:07:44in such a unique experiment.
01:07:50And 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
01:08:03on this planet at this moment.
01:08:05You accept me for me,
01:08:06and I accept you for you.
01:08:09I'm so grateful to 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,
01:08:22I 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 to open up parts of me
01:08:39that maybe are shameful or embarrassing
01:08:44or whatever I interpreted.
01:08:45And the fact that you still fell in love with me
01:08:47and we had such a connection regardless
01:08:49of anything that either of us shared,
01:08:52it just felt so right.
01:08:54It's been such a calm love and 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 that I'm here with you.
01:09:11Victor 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?
01:09:36Christine,
01:09:38do 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?
01:10:37You'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.
01:10:44I do.
01:10:50I now pronounce you husband and wife.
01:10:54Victor, you may now kiss your beautiful bride.
01:10:57I got a whole lot of love.
01:11:02I got a whole lot of love.
01:11:05I got a whole lot of love.
01:11:08Did it!
01:11:09Can we give your...
01:11:21To the Saint Jeans?
01:11:24What a beautiful thing.
01:11:26Yeah, nice to meet you.
01:11:36Ofch.
01:11:44We got a merge in the families. We got a tribe now with my wife. That's what I'm looking forward
01:11:53to.
01:11:54Same. I gotta show you the electric slide later.
01:11:58Might have to take my shoes off for that.
01:12:03I love you too. Next chapter. Best chapter.
01:12:35Emma was feeling that it was an I do. And I was definitely shocked.
01:12:45It's not that I don't want to be with her. I do. But at the same time, it was coming
01:12:49off as if almost she didn't want the responsibility of children ever. And 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. I'm so pleased and proud of myself as a person. I would say love
01:13:32is blind to an extent.
01:13:33One of the biggest thing I've learned from this process is the emotional connection needs to be prioritized over the
01:13:39physical.
01:13:40The physical is still important to me. I'm not saying it needs to be important to everybody else.
01:13:44But to me, I need a physical match that makes 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. She would have said yes, and she would
01:14:01have been miserable living a life with him.
01:14:04But today I stood my ground. I 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. I don't want some mediocre love. And he falls very short of
01:14:25what I deserve in this life.
01:14:31Join me in welcoming Mr. and Mrs. Ben!
01:14:41Yeah! Let's go!
01:14:44We're both ecstatic right now. It's so much fun.
01:14:48Oh, yeah!
01:14:49I know you'll be funny, but I sure I want you.
01:15:00I'm so in love with Jordan. Like, I've always...
01:15:02Like a 7 out of 10?
01:15:03A 10!
01:15:07It's really amazing.
01:15:10I love you, baby.
01:15:12Yeah.

01:15:41It's incredible to have his family and his friends and mine.
01:15:44There's so much love and support. It's a really special feeling.
