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
00:08:07drop 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 he 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
00:09:19i'm like really proud of you i know this wasn't easy no it was not i feel like we've worked
00:09:26so
00:09:27hard to get here he had to meet my daughter's dad he had to meet my daughter there's a lot
00:09:31of stress
00:09:32with work traveling back and forth from mount vernon you know we had a few stress moments but
00:09:36to get through everything it's just been such a wild crazy and amazing ride do you feel confident
00:09:42in your decision that you're gonna make today yeah you do i'm ready to marry jordan i am you know

00:09:56we're here
00:09:57for you we love you that's why i'm so proud of you so my biggest fear is how jordan feels
00:10:03like
00:10:03if he's feeling a lot of pressure or anything like i know it's like changing his life and maybe
00:10:09he does kind of want to like run if that's his decision as well so that's been kind of lingering
00:10:14on the back of my mind but i just care about him a lot so i don't want him to
00:10:17have those like
00:10:17feelings i want this to be a good day for him as well oh my gosh

00:15:50Yeah.
00:15:50Have you been having fun?
00:15:52You need to turn around. Oh my.
00:15:55Emma, come here and look in the mirror. I want to see you in the mirror. Let's look at us.
00:15:59You look pretty, too. You look like the perfect flower princess.
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.
00:18:52We love you, no matter what you decide.
00:18:55We're all with you.
00:18:57We love you so much.
00:18:59You make us so proud.
00:19:19We love you, no matter what you do.
00:19:23We love you, no matter what you do.
00:19:23We love you, no matter what you do.
00:19:23We love you, no matter what you do.
00:19:23We love you, no matter what you do.
00:19:24We love you, no matter what you do.
00:19:24We love you, no matter what you do.
00:19:24We love you, no matter what you do.
00:19:24We love you, no matter what you do.
00:19:28We love you, no matter what you do.
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.
00:19:43Is that me and 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 in a good way.
00:20:08You 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.
00:20:28Oh, man.
00:20:30Aw.
00:20:31Woo-hoo-hoo.
00:20:34Everything's coming and to feel
00:20:37The start of it all

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
00:22:16the marriage of Amber and Jordan.
00:22:19Love is the foundation upon which we build our lives.
00:22:23Love brings people together,
00:22:26strengthens 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
00:22:35in 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 the situation.
00:22:52He is always looking to say hi to the stranger.
00:22:54He made, like, seven airport friends over CPAP.
00:22:59Like...
00:23:00He's starting a CPAP club, actually,
00:23:03if anyone's interested in joining.
00:23:05Um...
00:23:06Stupid.
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
00:23:17and 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,
00:23:46you 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
00:24:10and commit to face life together as 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,
00:24:39to honor and respect him,
00:24:40to laugh with him and cry with him,
00:24:43and to cherish him,
00:24:44as long as you both shall live?
00:24:47If so, say, I do.
00:24:58I do.
00:24:59I do.
00:25:00But I understand if there's any doubts.
00:25:05I have a lot going on.
00:25:13Do you want to be the Lord of the Rings,
00:25:15Can you pray for your marriage to be my family?
00:25:20The Lord of the Rings,
00:25:26what is the Lord of the Rings,
00:25:28what is the Lord of the Rings?
00:25:31The Lord of the Rings.
00:25:56I want to follow my heart and say that I do.
00:26:00So your answer is?
00:26:02I do.
00:26:27I 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.
00:27:21That's crazy.
00:27:24At least you're my person.
00:27:27You're my dude.
00:27:29All right.
00:27:30Let's have some fun.
00:27:35Cheers.
00:27:36Are you excited?
00:27:38Yeah.
00:27:39You're excited.
00:27:42Cheers.
00:27:44Cheers.
00:27:47Cheers.
00:27:49Cheers.
00:27:49Cheers.
00:27:53Cheers.
00:27:56Cheers.
00:27:59Cheers.
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.
00:28:17The nails, the lashes, all the things, like, ready to be married.
00:28:21I want to be your wife.
00:28:23I'm shocked that I'm not actually getting married, even 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 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, and they were all here to celebrate us.
00:28:53But right now, I feel like everything that I want isn'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 with, 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, it doesn't mean that it's not going to be eventually.
00:29:25I feel like we're still together, and we're just taking a slight pause on when we actually get married.
00:29:34I think when it comes to, like, you feeling more comfortable with a prenup, for me, like, say we would
00:29:43have gotten married today, I 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.
00:29:55I do see 100%, like, marrying each other.
00:30:00Our story's not over, whether that's marriage now or marriage later.
00:30:05We are going to be husband and wife one day, then hopefully have babies right after we get married.
00:30:13After the initial, like, shock of it all, of, like, okay, I'm not getting married, it was, like, okay, I'm
00:30:19not getting married, but 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, but it's, like, I don't know the answer.
00:30:31I don't know.
00:30:31Only time will tell.
00:30:32Yeah, and I'm, like, I don't know what the future holds.
00:30:35I don't, like, if I did, like, life would be different, but my doubts moving forward in the relationship, what
00:30:43does 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, for me need to, like, kind of clear my head to,
00:30:57like, 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, but there was always doubt in my head.
00:31:06There were certain things that kind of struck me, like, you know, when she mentioned that she had pre-bought
00:31:12a wedding dress.
00:31:13Having the dress pre-bought was something that really threw me.
00:31:17I was, like, were you going to get married regardless if it was me?
00:31:19Of course I want to be his bride, especially, like, when we went and did the wedding dress shopping and,
00:31:24like, I put my dress on that I picked out before we came here.
00:31:28I think that he would love this dress because I think this dress would 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 Devontae.
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 or the more I'm, like, pressured to do something, the, like, harder that
00:32:01I push back.
00:32:01She is sometimes, like, a shadow to me, and I'm just, like, sometimes I'm, like, just 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 down the road if it's, like, it'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 to have that conversation with her.
00:32:31I would have just got married and figured, like, I probably would have, like, swept it all under the rug,
00:32:36had resentment, and, like, you know, probably figured out how to get a divorce, like, the easiest way possible.
00:32:41I've had moments where I've felt naive of feeling like my feelings are stronger than his and wondering, like, if
00:32:48he'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 that 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 is having to start all over.
00:33:07If for some reason we don't work, I'm fearful to have to be vulnerable with somebody else all over again.
00:33:16Um, because it was really hard to do it in this instance, but it paid off because now I have
00:33:26the love of my life, my person, my best friend, that I hope to be my best friend again one
00:33:32day.
00:33:32But we just need to get back to all of those feelings of why we fell in love and why
00:33:38we 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 to go through today knowing that we aren't getting married.
00:33:54I think if it wasn't 100% yes, then 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
00:34:05So the day that I met you
00:34:07Till the day I die
00:34:11It starts right here
00:34:19It 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
00:34:28Um, you know, I've been cheated on, I've been lied to
00:34:32And fell in love with Alex because he was so confident in 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 in your decision to be with that person
00:34:49To make them your wife, to be their husband
00:34:51I just remember being all in
00:34:53And telling my dad, like, I met the man of my dreams
00:34:55And I've been crying so much, too
00:34:57Like, I get so emotional, I 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
00:35:15To 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 with, you know, stepfathers
00:35:26Fathers, whatever it was
00:35:27Um, I had such a different life
00:35:29Hi!
00:35:30Hi, girls!
00:35:32Hi, baby!
00:35:33I have lived a very stable life
00:35:36With a great family
00:35:39And 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
00:35:44Um
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
00:35:57All 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
00:36:10So with your hands up in the cold
00:36:15Keep it there when you come down
00:36:18I think Ashley makes a phenomenal life
00:36:21In a number of ways
00:36:22Um, just the confidence that she has
00:36:23She meets every single thing
00:36:25That I could want checked in a box
00:36:27Or whatever
00:36:27Uh, emotionally, 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
00:36:35When it comes to, you know
00:36:36Choosing a life
00:36:40Are you nervous to walk down the wedding aisle?
00:36:42No
00:36:43I mean, you play division one soccer
00:36:45You 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
00:36:52Calm 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
00:37:03In, 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
00:37:09That'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
00:37:14Or 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 got to meet her at some point
00:37:24I think I'll meet her today
00:37:25I think so
00:37:26I 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
00:37:33She'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
00:37:42You said he's a divorce attorney?
00:37:43Yeah, dude, that was nuts
00:37:44That's why the family
00:37:45Yeah, I was insane, dude
00:37:47That's where he would have been
00:37:48Yeah, you got grilled, I'm sure
00:37:49I did
00:37:49I did
00:37:50So, like, I day trade, obviously
00:37:52And, like
00:37:53I know the Australian dollar
00:37:55We were talking about crypto for a little bit
00:37:56Yeah
00:37:56And, like
00:37:57He'll start talking about something else
00:37:59And then randomly
00:38:00He'll just be like
00:38:00Alright, so what's the price of 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
00:38:04Yeah, like, what?
00:38:06You know, I don't
00:38:07Really think I have any fears at the moment
00:38:09I mean, outside of maybe sharks in 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?
00:38:17I'll rip one sleeve off and show off the arm
00:38:19I would love to
00:38:22Oh, dude
00:38:22My guys, gracias, chico
00:38:25I would love to say I'll rip one
00:38:32Oh, hi
00:38:34I'm just made out
00:38:36Wow
00:38:36You sparkly?
00:38:38You 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
00:38:53Where 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 just 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 pre-game 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
00:39:21Mm-hmm
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, love me
00:39:34Ah!
00:39:35Oh, my God
00:39:36Oh, Jessie!
00:39:38Okay, everybody, not...
00:39:39Don't cry!
00:39:39Don't cry
00:39:40You're really like a walking Barbie
00:39:42Yeah, I do
00:39:43Yeah, Barbie
00:39:44Yeah, Barbie
00:39:45Oh, the button
00:39:46The button, they're so pretty
00:39:48Nice
00:39:48Perfect
00:39:50Baby
00:39:51I love you
00:39:51I'm so proud of you
00:40:01I love you
00:40:03I love you
00:40:03I love you
00:40:04I love you
00:40:07I love you
00:40:07I love you
00:40:08I love you
00:40:15Do you see how big my boobs are?
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
00:40:43I'm just this boring girl from 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 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...
00:41:10I'm not Alex's type
00:41:13So I hope when he sees me today
00:41:15He realizes how wrong he is
00:41:18If I'm being completely honest
00:41:20I would be shocked if Alex said yes
00:41:22I'd be happy
00:41:23Obviously, nobody wants to be rejected
00:41:26But I am more so expecting a no from Alex
00:41:31Love you
00:41:31Love you
00:41:32Love you too
00:41:34You all excited?
00:41:35You 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
00:41:50It'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
00:42:02Then he will be the person that changes my life for the better
00:42:05I 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, big day
00:42:20Oh, goodness
00:42:48Oh, my God
00:42:48Here
00:42:50Oh, my God
00:42:52Oh, my God
00:42:53Oh, my God
00:42:59You've got this.
00:43:00You're Ashley Carpenter.
00:43:03Black belt.
00:43:06You more nervous now
00:43:07or when you did that first tournament?
00:43:10Probably now.
00:43:16Ladies and gentlemen, will 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.
00:43:56Oh, my God.
00:44:10Oh, my God.
00:44:11Oh, my God.
00:44:16Oh, my God.
00:44:17You may be seated, everyone.
00:44:18Oh, my God.
00:44:24Beautiful.
00:44:25Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today to celebrate Ashley and Alex, a 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, from 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, and I fell in love with you.
00:46:01You're back. Not 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?
00:46:29Or 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?
00:46:42To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in
00:46:49sickness and in health, to love, honor and cherish, forsaking 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.
00:47:17When 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.
00:47:45They 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.
00:48:16I 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.
00:48:38If 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.
00:48:58And 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.
00:49:37But I do understand the rest of your feelings, and I respect your feelings without a doubt.
00:49:40From 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.
00:49:59We love you.
00:50:00We love you.
00:50:03We love you.
00:50:09Come on baby.
00:50:10We love you.
00:50:17We love you.
00:50:20We love you.
00:50:21She's like, I always calls him a liar.
00:50:22No.
00:50:23That just is not right.
00:50:25We love you.
00:50:28We love you.
00:50:31Phew.
00:50:34Alright.
00:50:35Who's good?
00:50:35Clocked that guy.
00:50:39Appreciate you, boys.
00:50:41We got you, Rob.
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
00:50:48because you're not.
00:50:50I know that, and everyone here knows that.
00:50:52So I'm exactly where I should be, and where I needed to be.
00:50:55Very confident.
00:50:56And you're a great person and a great man.
00:50:57Appreciate you, bro.
00:50:58She'll be a great husband one day.
00:50:59Appreciate you.
00:50:59I know it.
00:51:00Y'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 want to go see if she's OK?
00:51:13No.
00:51:14What do you mean?
00:51:16I will say I didn't expect integrity
00:51:18to be called into question.
00:51:19I didn't expect the I'm going to 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, where 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 kind of find that and was really targeting my past.
00:51:37But if you're going to heavily weight, you know, my past,
00:51:39there are some things in hers as well.
00:51:41To my integrity.
00:51:42Bring it out!
00:51:44Bring it out!
00:51:44Thank you, sir.
00:51:48I'm sure he's a little annoyed
00:51:50that I called out his integrity in front of all of his friends
00:51:54and his mom, but 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 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 that he says.
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 funny?
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, he 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, I don't think he's here for the right reasons.
00:52:24I think he wanted something else out of this, rather than a wife.
00:52:29Just not the right guy.
00:52:30Perfect dress, perfect venue, not the perfect guy.
00:52:57I've been drifting away for so long, spilling out words till I'm empty, healing waters,
00:53:10move without sound, asleep 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.
00:53:22Oh, it's so pretty.
00:53:24I knew he was my person, and 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.
00:53:46I love how smart he is.
00:53:47I love how silly he can be.
00:53:49I know he's not perfect for everybody, but for me, he, like, could not be more perfect
00:53:54for my personality, and what I envisioned in my life, and what I want in a husband, and
00:53:58what I want in the father of my kids.
00:54:06I've just been calm and confident with him, you know, I know.
00:54:15My biggest fear is just, like, not feeling good enough.
00:54:25Whether it's family stuff, or education stuff, or upbringing stuff.
00:54:30A lot of my fear in dating in the past was that when someone really gets to know me and
00:54:34see my flaws, or my family's flaws, that I wouldn't feel good enough.
00:54:39And that's why this experiment was so beautiful, because I gave him everything, and he said,
00:54:44like, you are good enough.
00:54:52And, oh, I'm gonna cry saying it, but, um, he wrote me something in the pods, and, like,
00:54:57the very first line was, I can't see you, but I see you.
00:55:04And I felt seen.
00:55:06It didn't feel like some BS wording.
00:55:09And so I felt, like, really loved and accepted, and so that fear kind of dissipated, like,
00:55:14right there in that moment, and 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.
00:55:30I'm just kidding.
00:55:33I'd punch you if you say no.
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.
00:55:48I 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, and I'm really excited for her to be here.
00:55:57Oh, my gosh.
00:55:59Finally.
00:56:05You look so beautiful, baby.
00:56:20I'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.
00:56:35Follow someone.
00:56:36He's happy.
00:56:37All right.
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.
00:56:53She's actually my niece, but she's older than me, so I call her my sister, but this is Karina.
00:56:59So happy.
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:00Like, from the wife.
00:57:01So happy.
00:57:02I always wanted to find something.
00:57:04Aw.
00:57:04Well, I'm honored that he chose me.
00:57:07He's a beautiful, beautiful person.
00:57:14Just a little note.
00:57:15I was like, I'm not going to have the words and the emotions to say it here in person.
00:57:18No, instead of wearing makeup, we do not want that.
00:57:20Yes.
00:57:20He's either on ring.
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.
00:57:29I mean, I was like, what?
00:57:30You're an introvert.
00:57:31Oh, you know, it's funny.
00:57:32So am I.
00:57:33He thinks that I'm more extroverted than he is, and 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, I 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, so I have a distressful demeanor.
00:58:00But I spoke to her, and I instantly liked her.
00:58:05She's genuine, and she came into this process wanting to find love, and she's found it.
00:58:10That never happened to me.
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, and I'm happy.
00:58:18Me too.
00:58:19I'm happy you guys are happy.
00:58:20It's nice meeting you.
00:58:21I'm happy.
00:58:21It excites me, didn't you?
00:58:23Go ahead and get ready, and we'll see you.
00:58:26Bye.
00:58:28I'm not as nervous anymore.
00:58:39Hi, guys.
00:58:41There she is.
00:58:42How are you?
00:58:43Oh my gosh, you look gorgeous.
00:58:46You look great.
00:58:46You look gorgeous, baby.
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, you 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, and here's a sister came up too.
00:59:09So I got to meet them both, and they got the chit-tat 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.
00:59:30Today's wedding day.
00:59:31The emotional connection Christine and I have, it's enough for a lifetime.
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, and she knows all the parts of me.
00:59:50She called me her Build-A-Bear husband.
00:59:51I'm like, all right, you better put some patches on that Build-A-Bear,
00:59:54because, you know, I got scars, and I'm not perfect in any way, shape, or form.
00:59:58But that's the thing, is that her imperfections, my imperfections, we 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.
01:00:17Yeah, how about C?
01:00:18Where's the man?
01:00:19Oh, this 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.
01:00:36Looking good.
01:00:37Thanks, y'all.
01:00:38Thanks.
01:00:39Game time feeling really good.
01:00:40That's good.
01:00:40Yeah, 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 up.
01:00:50All that I find, all that I dream, right here in front of me.
01:00:56They call me Bullseye.
01:00:57They call me Bullseye, though, man.
01:00:58Ah, they won't.
01:00:59Now, let me ask you this.
01:01:00The Oscars thing is rhythm, because 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.
01:01:10You know what I mean?
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.
01:01:17In 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 the electric slide, bro.
01:01:26So stand up next to me.
01:01:27Good.
01:01:28No, you're doing good.
01:01:28Yeah.
01:01:29Keep it going.
01:01:34Yeah.
01:01:41Keep it going.
01:01:47I got it.
01:01:50Oh yeah.
01:01:51The way you make me feel.
01:01:54The way you make me feel.
01:01:58The way you make me feel.
01:02:01The way you make me feel.
01:02:02The way you make me feel.
01:02:13What up, ma?
01:02:15Oh my, oh my, oh my.
01:02:17How are you doing?
01:02:18Good. Good to see you.
01:02:22Oh my goodness, I met Christina.
01:02:24You did? Yes.
01:02:25How was that? Oh, it was good.
01:02:27I was nervous at first, but I love her.
01:02:29Yes. I just, you know.
01:02:31Super warm. Yeah, yeah.
01:02:33Knowing that I got y'all behind me
01:02:35is very much reassuring.
01:02:37I wouldn't miss it for anything.
01:02:42I was nervous this morning
01:02:44because I've never met her in person.
01:02:46Yeah. But once I went up
01:02:48and I met her, it's like...
01:02:50That was it.
01:02:51Just having the support of close friends
01:02:53and then family, that is, like, very important.
01:02:55Well, as you know, family is important to us.
01:02:58She's heavily family-oriented.
01:03:00Yep.
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
01:03:15and you were, like, following me all around the house,
01:03:18apologizing and saying,
01:03:19how come you didn't give up on me?
01:03:21And I said, nope.
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,
01:03:31especially after I kind of came to terms
01:03:32with 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, right?
01:03:40It's not about religion.
01:03:41Yeah.
01:03:42As long as you're on that path,
01:03:44I 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.
01:03:59There'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.
01:04:05Yeah.
01:04:07Now it's just for her to choose me.

01:11:36Yeah.
01:11:36Never felt love like this.
01:11:37Yeah.
01:11:40My family.
01:11:42Forever, ever.
01:11:43Ever, ever.
01:11:44We got a merge into families.
01:11:46We got a tribe now.
01:11:47Yeah.
01:11:48With my wife.
01:11:52That's what I'm looking forward to.
01:11:54Same.
01:11:55I got to show you the electric slide later.
01:11:58Might have to take my shoes off for that.
01:11:59Yeah.
01:12:00Mmm.
01:12:03Yeah, I love you too.
01:12:05Next chapter?
01:12:06Mmm-hmm.
01:12:06The best chapter?
01:12:07Mmm-hmm.
01:12:08I know.
01:12:08I got a whole lot of love.
01:12:10I got a whole lot of love.
01:12:15I got a whole lot of love.
01:12:15I got a whole lot of love.
01:12:15I want to give the song.
01:12:17Mmm-hmm.
01:12:23Oh!
01:12:25Point of no return.
01:12:27I won't be held down by the damage done.
01:12:35Emma was feeling that it was an I do.
01:12:38and I was definitely shocked.
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
01:12:49she 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.
01:12:58And I truly do believe, even with this happening today,
01:13:01I do think that love is blind.
01:13:06I still do think that love is blind,
01:13:10but I do think that there are big things in life,
01:13:15like children, 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
01:13:35is the emotional connection needs to be prioritized
01:13:39over the physical.
01:13:40The physical is still important to me.
01:13:42I'm not saying it needs to be important to everybody else,
01:13:44but to me, I need a physical match
01:13:45that makes me very, very happy.
01:13:48Moving forward for me, seeing what happens next,
01:13:50staying open to everything that comes for me.
01:13:57Ashley, a year ago, would have let him walk all over me.
01:13:59She would have said yes,
01:14:01and 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
01:14:08because it no longer brought me joy.
01:14:10I think this process has definitely helped me
01:14:13figure out what I want, what I don't want,
01:14:15what I'll accept in a relationship.
01:14:16I want a love that lasts a lifetime.
01:14:18I 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. Banks!
01:14:43We're both ecstatic right now, so it's so much fun.
01:14:47It's amazing.
01:15:00I'm so in love with Jordan.
01:15:01Like, I've always...
01:15:02Like, a 7 out of 10?
01:15:03A 10!
01:15:07It's really amazing.
01:15:11I love you, baby.
01:15:12Yeah.
01:15:13It's what I do.
01:15:153 and 5!
01:15:17Ha-ha!
01:15:19Yeah!
01:15:23Mr. and Mrs. St. Charles!
01:15:26I'm still standing silent
01:15:29to the end of our days, darling.
01:15:34Being married feels just like it should.
01:15:36It feels perfect.
01:15:37Yeah, and on top of the world.
01:15:39Yeah.
01:15:39Couldn't be happier.
01:15:40I mean, it's been...
01:15:41It's incredible to have his family
01:15:43and his friends and mine.
01:15:44There's so much love and support.
01:15:45It's a really special feeling.
01:15:49Every promise I make
01:15:51Is a promise I can't breathe
01:15:54But it's time for you
01:15:57And believe me
01:15:58I'm gonna show you
01:16:00Last thing, it's like
01:16:02T-minus two hours
01:16:04until you guys use the box.
01:16:06Yeah, we're on a countdown.
01:16:08That box.
01:16:10Um...
01:16:11Yeah, that's the...
01:16:11I just found out my sister
01:16:12and their kids...
01:16:13Her kids are staying
01:16:14in the same hotel as we are.
01:16:15Oh, they are?
01:16:16But they're not staying
01:16:17in 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
01:16:35this for the first time.
01:16:36Oh, my God.
01:16:38I'm not proud of
01:16:39a lot of those moments.
01:16:40The reality was
01:16:41very, very different
01:16:42than what was being shown.
01:16:43He's really bad.
01:16:44It wasn't anything.
01:16:46Did you not know
01:16:46that I had my engagement ring on?
01:16:48I literally did not.
01:16:49Were you lying?
01:16:50I told you.
01:16:52Don't fucking do that.
01:16:53Oh, my God.
