00:00:02it's the morning after the last dinner party of the 2026 experiment and our
00:00:09couples are still processing the shocking exit of Gia and Scott who have
00:00:14left the experiment and will not continue to final vows I can unpack it
00:00:20in one word carnage I'm not sure what it is that you're looking for Gia but I
00:00:24can tell you're not the one for me we are a different caliber of people it was a
00:00:41pretty epic crash and burn yeah all she had to do was be honest be genuine and
00:00:48focus on their relationship but I didn't think they'd crash out that hard so all
00:00:54of that time in the commitment ceremonies that they could have had working on
00:00:58their relationship if he would have spoke up earlier they probably would have split
00:01:03up earlier because reality is Gia can't take any criticism she thinks every time
00:01:09it's her being thrown under the bus I did what I needed to do I got Gia to that
00:01:14dinner party on purpose got her there got them got them to have it out with each
00:01:21other I'm very proud of myself actually
00:01:27so you can play at that game honey
00:01:32I came into this experiment looking for love I definitely found what I've come here
00:01:39after three intense months
00:01:43it all comes down to the final vows the four remaining couples must make the
00:01:52life-changing decision
00:01:56here we go will they take their relationship into the outside world or will they say goodbye
00:02:06forever I know this might be hard to hear before
00:02:12hi one of the most magical moments the experiments ever seen
00:02:21Stella I love you more than I ever thought possible
00:02:52with the experiment ended the time for final vows
00:02:56the final vows is almost here for our remaining couples Stella and Philip Rachel and Stephen Beck and Danny
00:03:04it's nice that we're going to final vows together you know and Alyssa and David
00:03:12they'll now separate and spend time weighing up if they'll continue their
00:03:17relationship after the experiment there's so much shit here how did this happen the
00:03:24next time they meet they'll reveal their decision at final vows our couples
00:03:32must now go back to their respective homes to reflect on their time in the
00:03:36experiment before they make the life-changing decision on whether to
00:03:41remain as a couple or go their separate ways this time will prove testing for our
00:03:46couples as they will begin to question if their relationship is strong
00:03:50enough to continue when they leave the bubble of the experiment
00:03:58before everyone leaves their apartments they're reflecting on last night's final
00:04:03dinner party what about Dave and Alyssa that was hard to watch I saw a man
00:04:09coming in there being vulnerable and getting rejected multiple times it just
00:04:15doesn't sit well with me oh I'm hurt I'm hurt why why yeah he haven't said or
00:04:19done anything wrong it's a bit to rejection it's like she kept finding one
00:04:25little thing that just can be can be pinned on him and just like just focus on it
00:04:31like come on to take your ring off that is a red flag for me that to me is toxic
00:04:38I
00:04:38never once took my ring off yeah I think Alyssa's checked out it was a hard watch you know seeing
00:04:44him like that like he's actually really really hurt poor David is there desperately trying to win her
00:04:53back and Alyssa's like no I actually feel bad for David I think David's a good bloke I
00:05:00think he's bore his heart on his sleeve Alyssa's proven his point as to why he
00:05:04stayed quiet for so long because the second he spoke up look at how it's gone the
00:05:10poor bloke can't win it's a dictatorship it's not a relationship do you know what I
00:05:14think in time Alyssa might look back and regret that because David's a good bloke
00:05:18she's got herself a good bloke there and they're hard to they're hard to come across and she's just
00:05:23shutting him out for something pretty minor in my opinion it's a lonely last morning for David
00:05:32after the final dinner party Alyssa and David retired to separate apartments both spending their last
00:05:40night in the experiment alone today is such a sad day I'm moving out alone you know without my wife
00:05:53I'm devastated at where we're at there's been so much pain that I've experienced the last two weeks
00:06:06let me do some squats first so who's the question is though who's gonna get in trouble by the husbands
00:06:11I actually don't care if my husband comes to me he can come for me but he ain't coming for
00:06:16me you know
00:06:16I'm boxing out first he ain't coming for me oh far out man I just gave you my feelings and
00:06:24you said
00:06:24lighten up prime example that's just a joke it's all right but that's how I feel we're all just
00:06:29talking getting to know each other it was just you know chit chat we all had a great day no
00:06:36I
00:06:36deserve more than that I'm done too here go I'm done despite everything that's happened I believe in
00:06:49our relationship and I wanted to fight for it last night I put everything on the line
00:06:56unashamedly chasing her trying to get her back and show everyone that I wanted to fight for this
00:07:01relationship and I'm here because I want to fight for this I want you to know how much you mean
00:07:06to me
00:07:07I walked away from someone that was the love of my life I literally cannot walk away knowing that
00:07:16she's giving him nothing giving him nothing it's just sad that I felt like no matter how hard I
00:07:22fought she didn't want this I'm literally here because I love this woman I understand I understand
00:07:29but it's not too late it's only too late if you want to throw three months down the drain I
00:07:34feel like
00:07:34this dinner party's done honestly it's done Alyssa last night was someone I don't remember someone I
00:07:45don't recognize she was cold it felt like the relationship meant nothing to Alyssa like I mean
00:07:53nothing to her right now I'm questioning whether she ever wanted this to start with no I'm not gonna
00:08:01marry you until you get asked me to marry you I can't tell if you're being serious no I am
00:08:07so we're
00:08:08not doing the vows until until I get down Alyssa loves to be in control she loves to be in
00:08:15the
00:08:15driving seat and I was shut down I function at a high frequency and I feel like we're six weeks
00:08:23in
00:08:24I'm missing that stimulation that high frequency to make me happy I'm not more high-functional person
00:08:33than you your experience is your experience but someone on the outside listening in would could
00:08:38take it differently this is a me thing and I don't know why you're dragging yourself into it like I'm
00:08:42really not driving I'm just having the conversation this is a me thing babe she says she wants me to
00:08:48challenge her but when I do challenge her she doesn't like it looking back on it every time
00:08:53I challenged Alyssa she shut me down I can hardly get a word in talk to me because like we
00:09:01need to
00:09:01voice we and that's what I need in this relationship and that's you're not fulfilling that need for me
00:09:06well all I'm gonna say is I should have gone there but we haven't and I haven't felt challenged enough
00:09:13well she has you did mention I was a weak man at one point she called you a weak man
00:09:18yeah so
00:09:21that's a problem what's happened in this relationship is I've done a lot of listening
00:09:25Alyssa has done a lot of talking we're both adults and I want to see that in her that she
00:09:29has the ability to listen I can't mind reading it's not mind reading oh my gosh I can't I cannot
00:09:34I know I can't mind read babe I can't even explain the hurt from last night you know getting to
00:09:43bed
00:09:43after that dinner party was the hardest thing that I've had to do this whole experiment just knowing
00:09:48and replaying those moments where I heard Alyssa say things about me that showed she didn't care about
00:09:55me it almost felt like she looked down on me for trying to fight for our relationship I think you
00:10:02know you couldn't have asked for anything worse feeling much better today got a good night's sleep
00:10:12I've woken up feeling much more relaxed and yeah I'm really looking forward to going home the day's
00:10:20finally arrived where we're moving out it's finished the experiment is officially done and
00:10:26dusted to see David take his ring off it really hurt me because in real life you don't do that
00:10:34like I've
00:10:35never once taken my ring off even though they might be little things they're big things for me yeah I
00:10:41came
00:10:41here for love and I was falling in love with this person and then my feelings have changed because of
00:10:47the
00:10:47events that have unfolded this week I know that he's sorry but yeah there's a lot to process before
00:10:53making this decision in a few days down the hall an emotional Rachel and Steven are saying their goodbyes
00:11:04about to burst a little bubble babe
00:11:13knowing that I'm going back to Melbourne and be walking into an empty apartment tonight it's just
00:11:19tough because Steven's not gonna be there and you know we are 900 kilometers apart that concerns me
00:11:25because long distance it's a hard one think of it as the next chapter starting I know goodbye
00:11:56I'm really lucky to people have been able to do this and I'm really lucky to have met Steven yeah
00:12:04it's a couple of days it's so sad that we're saying goodbye we've built this little nest for
00:12:10ourselves and we've got to dismantle it and move apart and make a massive decision long distance is
00:12:16one of our biggest challenges going into final vows that's definitely considered I'm gonna have some
00:12:22serious thinking to do oh you're shaking I know see you soon see you soon safe travels
00:12:52with the upcoming final vows weighing heavily on their minds Alyssa and David have headed home to
00:12:59contemplate their decision they'll spend the week apart reflecting on whether to continue their
00:13:05relationship outside the experiment or leave their marriages for good coming home to Brisbane solo it
00:13:13feels like a part of me has been taken away there is so much good there's so much light that
00:13:19has come
00:13:20out of this relationship but I've still got the last week of our relationship looming over me
00:13:30that last week of the experiment I wore my heart on my sleeve and I felt like I kept getting
00:13:36pushed
00:13:36back and knocked back this is one of the most uncertain places I've ever been in my life I do
00:13:45love and care
00:13:45for this woman deeply but at the same time I have to decide whether I can forgive her
00:13:56and in Adelaide Alyssa is deliberating over whether to continue her relationship with David after the
00:14:03experiment David has been so supportive he's always had my back and I love that about him but the last
00:14:11couple of weeks has taken a turn for us the fact that as soon as he felt like it got
00:14:17hard he took his
00:14:18ring off I have to be able to see past this to be able to move forward into the real
00:14:24world and my guts
00:14:27telling you now like the little things are actually big things for me and they are deal breakers for me
00:14:34David being upset with that final test date was a big red flag for me taking your ring off at
00:14:41the
00:14:41first sight of a um you know seeing me having a good time socializing with other people it's toxic and
00:14:49I
00:14:49I was like nah in the bin if that moment didn't happen maybe our relationship would be in a way
00:15:00better place right now maybe I would be in love right now there's been a world of emotions lately
00:15:07and I I know that he's willing to fight for me he got down on one knee for God's sake
00:15:11like put my ring
00:15:12back on my finger he's wanting this to work but I am feeling the pressure of pressure of that
00:15:34the moment has come for Alyssa and David to declare their feelings at final vows
00:15:51I came into this experiment hoping to find love I found love and I was hoping to leave here you
00:15:57know
00:15:58with a woman of my dreams and build a life and a family together in the future so this decision
00:16:03today
00:16:05will be the start of of the next stage I love Alyssa my feelings haven't changed for Alyssa coming into
00:16:17this
00:16:17decision it's just finding that balance between my head and my heart and I also don't know what's
00:16:23gonna happen to me when I'm there stood right in front of Alyssa I don't know how I'm gonna feel
00:16:29so I'm a bit
00:16:30anxious I've put everything into this relationship I haven't held back I did fall in love when you
00:16:38love someone you can't just switch off your feelings that's the truth
00:16:52David has made his intentions clear that he wants to make this work in the outside world and that he
00:16:59does love me and he doesn't want to lose me so I feel like I feel like he will be
00:17:06committed to the
00:17:07cause and he'll want to see this through into the real world but today it's gonna be tough for David
00:17:21he missed the mark because he was a yes man he told me he loved me the ball is in
00:17:32my court today
00:17:41and he breaks my heart knowing that I'm going to be breaking his heart at the end of this
00:18:12oh hello hello how are you good how are you beautiful thank you
00:18:24all right see I've convinced you all right here we go
00:18:41Alyssa here we are from the very beginning our wedding day was something I'll never forget
00:18:51the chemistry was instant the banter the laughs the spark it all felt effortless and of course
00:18:59how could I forget the moment when you looked me dead in the eye and said I don't think I
00:19:05can marry
00:19:05you until you get down on one knee what I saw wasn't just a bold woman making a big entrance
00:19:14but someone who clearly wanted commitment love and something serious the exact same things I came here
00:19:22for you were strong fiery unapologetically yourself and that energy instantly put my mind at ease we
00:19:34never backed away from the challenges and our connection deepened getting intimate and building
00:19:39trust and week by week it felt like we were just getting stronger and stronger you reminded me what
00:19:46it felt like to care again you broke down walls I didn't even realize that I built you made me
00:19:52laugh
00:19:52challenged me and you opened up my heart to love
00:20:01from the very beginning you told me that the moment a man tries to control you you run
00:20:06so I listened I did everything you said you wanted I gave you space I let you lead when you
00:20:15needed to
00:20:15and I never tried to change you but it was the final commitment ceremony where everything changed I
00:20:24finally spoke up I told you how at times I'd held back in this relationship not because I didn't care
00:20:29but because I was scared that being honest would push you further away you accused me of blindsiding you
00:20:37and in that moment I realized something important I wasn't being hurt you couldn't see that I wasn't
00:20:44attacking you I was finally standing up for myself it wasn't about proving a point it was about finding my
00:20:51voice despite your frustrations I still wanted to fight for us I vowed to let my walls down be
00:21:00vulnerable and express how I truly felt I told you that I loved you something I'd wanted to say for
00:21:11a
00:21:12very long time and although you couldn't say it back I left feeling confident that there was still hope
00:21:18for us watching you back on the final test without alternate matches you flirted made inappropriate jokes
00:21:27and spoke poorly about me behind my back I felt betrayed and disrespected by what I saw on our wedding
00:21:36day
00:21:37you stated that you wanted to be challenged in this relationship so that is what I did I challenged you
00:21:42and you shut me down it felt as though you wouldn't take any accountability for how I had felt we've
00:21:52had
00:21:52moments of laughter and deep affection but we've also had moments where I felt shut down controlled and
00:22:00unheard there have been times when I tried to express myself but was met with criticism or correction instead
00:22:07of curiosity what I've come to understand is that with you there was no version of me that could win
00:22:17if I pushed harder I would have been called controlling if I held back I was labeled disconnected I've realized
00:22:25I
00:22:26can't be the man who constantly fights to be heard or to constantly fight to prove his worth to someone
00:22:32who is
00:22:32still deciding if I'll be enough throughout all this I've been patient and I've done a lot of the listening
00:22:48so today I'm not walking away because I've stopped loving you Alyssa I'm walking away because loving you shouldn't mean
00:23:02losing myself
00:23:23you're not gonna listen to my vows
00:23:32that's a no
00:23:38wow I just wasted three months of my life and he won't even listen to me
00:23:58David wow I can't believe we're here at the end of this experiment
00:24:05three months ago we were with complete strangers standing at an altar saying I do
00:24:11the choice to walk away from final vows today for me was all about
00:24:15choosing myself in this relationship and making my voice heard
00:24:20so much of this relationship has been about Alyssa and me putting her first
00:24:24I ordered to myself to make my voice heard because most of the relationship I was the one listening
00:24:32I feel like I put all my cards on the table and all I was wanting from Alyssa was some
00:24:38accountability
00:24:40some wanting to fight for this
00:24:43then came our homestays that's when the real world came crashing in the pressure of my home my business
00:24:50my cat my life in Adelaide and how I can't just pack up and leave in three months like we
00:24:56initially discussed
00:24:58you said you'd move that we'd make it work it sounded perfect but something in my heart felt off
00:25:07there's been so much pain that I've experienced the last two weeks no you can't love someone and
00:25:15unfortunately sometimes they're not ready to let you in I feel tremendously heartbroken she knew I
00:25:24wanted her and still it felt like I was fighting for a relationship that someone wasn't willing to fight for
00:25:38David you are everything I wanted and more you are strong you are kind you are compassionate you
00:25:45are a leader but standing here today I can only be honest I love you David for who you are
00:25:52not for me
00:25:53thank you
00:26:17so
00:26:19so
00:26:20you
00:26:22so
00:26:22and
00:26:33In Melbourne, Rachel has returned home
00:26:35where she will reflect on her relationship with Stephen
00:26:39ahead of the final vows.
00:26:41Being here at the end, it's great.
00:26:43It is a really nice feeling.
00:26:44I feel really united with Stephen
00:26:46and there's this really nice closeness, playful floatiness
00:26:49that we have in our relationship.
00:26:52I feel like we're both as goofy as each other.
00:26:55Oh, my God, I might be good at this game.
00:27:00Yes, yes, better make sure that's done.
00:27:04We have grown so much together
00:27:06and we have both been vulnerable.
00:27:10I do like you and I have caught up in my feelings for you.
00:27:17I've never had a deeply emotional,
00:27:20connected relationship before
00:27:22and I've got one.
00:27:25But Stephen can't leave Sydney because of his business.
00:27:30We have grown together through this experiment
00:27:33but moving out of the bubble
00:27:36into the real world concerns me.
00:27:38What are you scared of the most?
00:27:42I'm scared that Stephen will go back to his life in Sydney
00:27:46and it's just going to be easier for him to let me go
00:27:51because he is high and poor and he has his business
00:27:54and so it might be a burden
00:27:58to try and maintain our relationship with me
00:28:01so he might just let me go.
00:28:06So, yeah, that's my fear.
00:28:13I am concerned that we're going back to our lives.
00:28:17He might evaluate things
00:28:19and he might just see that as a,
00:28:22well, it's actually easier without you
00:28:23and his decision could be,
00:28:28no, thank you.
00:28:30So, yeah, I am concerned.
00:28:40In Sydney, Stephen is looking back
00:28:44on his time in the experiment with Rachel.
00:28:49Despite sharing a strong emotional connection
00:28:52within the bubble of the experiment,
00:28:55Stephen is contemplating if that bond is strong enough
00:28:58to last the distance in the outside world.
00:29:03Rachel's patience and kindness
00:29:05and I've got to hand it to her.
00:29:07I feel like Rachel really saved the relationship.
00:29:13And reflecting on the relationship,
00:29:15I haven't always been the greatest husband.
00:29:20I don't remember getting a compliment from you
00:29:22on how I look today.
00:29:24You do look gorgeous
00:29:24and I'm really sorry that I didn't say it when it mattered.
00:29:28Do you think Stephen is affectionate enough?
00:29:35No.
00:29:36No.
00:29:40We've had our ups, we've had our downs.
00:29:43There's quite a large part of the relationship
00:29:45where I was sort of dragging the chain
00:29:47and my feelings started quite late for Rachel.
00:29:51I look back at intimacy week
00:29:53and how I sort of rejected Rachel
00:29:55and one of the tasks there.
00:30:00I can kiss you, Rachel.
00:30:02I'm not too sure if it's going to make you feel something.
00:30:05I need to feel that romantic connection
00:30:08and unfortunately,
00:30:10I haven't felt that romantic connection as of yet.
00:30:19I've realised that I've just been a little bit lacking
00:30:23in the relationship-wise.
00:30:25I've probably just got to be a little bit more proactive
00:30:27in my emotions.
00:30:31Being away from Rachel,
00:30:33I've realised that, yeah,
00:30:34I do have deep feelings for her.
00:30:39But at the same time,
00:30:40I guess my biggest fear is that
00:30:42I will not meet Rachel's expectations
00:30:46within our relationship
00:30:47in the real world.
00:30:50There's a lot more other challenges
00:30:52outside the experiment.
00:30:54Rachel's from Melbourne.
00:30:54I'm from Sydney.
00:30:56I've started a business here
00:30:57and unfortunately for now,
00:30:58I'm being a real pain in the arse
00:31:00and I'm saying to Rachel,
00:31:01I can't move from Sydney.
00:31:04When Rachel mentioned
00:31:05that she's going to move to Sydney,
00:31:07I am worried that she might regret it later.
00:31:10But I can see our future together.
00:31:14But it will not excuse
00:31:16the feelings of doubt
00:31:19that I've got that.
00:31:20We may not just make it
00:31:21because of these challenges
00:31:22that lie ahead of us.
00:31:31After nearly three months
00:31:32in the experiment,
00:31:34the time has come
00:31:36for Rachel and Stephen
00:31:37to decide
00:31:39whether to continue
00:31:41their relationship
00:31:42outside the experiment
00:31:43or part ways forever.
00:31:48I'm nervous
00:31:49because
00:31:51we've had a few
00:31:52hiccups along
00:31:53through the experiment
00:31:54and
00:31:56I haven't really
00:31:57been the greatest
00:31:58of husbands either.
00:32:06We've come so far
00:32:07and I've got someone
00:32:09I can be comfortable around
00:32:11and they like me
00:32:12for being me.
00:32:17I've missed Rachel.
00:32:18I'm excited to see her.
00:32:22But, you know,
00:32:23there is that thought
00:32:24in the back of my head
00:32:25going long distance,
00:32:27potential career changes.
00:32:29I've got these concerns
00:32:31that are polluting my head.
00:32:38It is a concern for me
00:32:39that we left on good terms
00:32:40but during our time apart,
00:32:44Stephen's life
00:32:44has been pulled into focus
00:32:46again of, like,
00:32:48what he has left behind.
00:32:52It scares me that
00:32:53Stephen's going to brush it off
00:32:54and then he's going to go,
00:32:55you know what,
00:32:56this is just too hard.
00:33:00But, at the same time,
00:33:02I've never had a guy
00:33:03make me feel
00:33:04as special as Stephen does.
00:33:10I've never had a guy
00:33:11make me feel
00:33:12as though
00:33:13I'm okay
00:33:14just being me.
00:33:16I am loud.
00:33:17I am
00:33:18a big personality.
00:33:21But,
00:33:22Stephen's never
00:33:23asked me
00:33:23to be anything else.
00:33:26That's so rare
00:33:27to find in a partner.
00:33:28I'm hoping
00:33:29that I walk out
00:33:31of my final vows
00:33:33with Stephen
00:33:33hand in hand
00:33:34and we've moved forward
00:33:35and it all comes together
00:33:37for us.
00:33:46Still to come.
00:33:51Will Rachel
00:33:52get the commitment
00:33:52she's always wanted
00:33:54from Stephen?
00:33:56I won't lie.
00:33:57There have been moments
00:33:58in this experiment
00:33:59where I seriously
00:34:00questioned everything.
00:34:02An outpouring
00:34:03of emotions
00:34:05you've made me believe
00:34:06in love against Stella.
00:34:07You've shown me
00:34:08what kindness,
00:34:09loyalty
00:34:10and genuine care
00:34:11look like.
00:34:13And Beck
00:34:14and Danny's
00:34:15final vows.
00:34:17But what will
00:34:18Danny decide?
00:34:23Beck.
00:34:24Beck.
00:34:27Beck.
00:34:28Beck.
00:34:29Beck.
00:34:30Beck.
00:34:34Beck.
00:34:44Beck.
00:34:46Beck.
00:34:51Beck.
00:35:06Oh
00:35:08My god Wow
00:35:20Hi, it's good to see you
00:35:23Look at that jacket, I love it
00:35:25I know, look at you, you look beautiful
00:35:28You look nervous
00:35:29I feel nervous
00:35:31I feel like
00:35:34Let's get into it
00:35:35You ready?
00:35:37As ready as I'm ever going to be
00:35:38I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit nervous myself
00:35:41Alright, okay
00:35:43Alrighty
00:35:47Okay, dear Stephen
00:35:50Showing up to this experiment
00:35:51I had experienced hurt in the dating world
00:35:54Never been the chosen one
00:35:56And always left wondering why I wasn't enough
00:35:58I came in knowing I'm not always easy
00:36:01I'm strong, independent
00:36:03And sometimes emotional
00:36:07Which meant I also had some learning to do
00:36:09But I was willing to do the work
00:36:12I showed up with an open heart
00:36:14And a deep hope
00:36:15That I might find real love
00:36:17And have my very own rom-com ending
00:36:20With a new leading man
00:36:22Our journey hasn't been smooth sailing
00:36:29During the honeymoon
00:36:30I questioned your humour
00:36:31Some jokes made me feel bad about myself
00:36:33I started questioning my self-worth
00:36:35Ultimately
00:36:37I started to question our match
00:36:40Affection was a big struggle
00:36:42Intimacy week
00:36:43Was one of the hardest moments
00:36:45In this experiment for us
00:36:51I bravely opened my heart
00:36:52In such a vulnerable way
00:36:54I felt exposed and rejected
00:36:56When you pulled away
00:36:57And didn't kiss me
00:37:05Then at retreat
00:37:06When I was excited about our progress
00:37:08Everything came crashing down
00:37:11And because of that
00:37:13I became emotionally raw
00:37:15Unraveling in front of you
00:37:24But despite that
00:37:25You stuck around
00:37:27You supported me
00:37:28You didn't try to fix it
00:37:30You didn't walk away
00:37:31You simply stayed with me
00:37:34In that moment
00:37:35My feelings for you deepened
00:37:38I usually keep those parts of me guarded
00:37:40Covering the fears and hurt I carry
00:37:42To avoid being a burden to someone else
00:37:47Because I have always believed
00:37:48That I might be too much to love
00:37:51The final test
00:37:53With our alternate matches
00:37:54Made me anxious
00:37:55My insecurities
00:37:56Of never being chosen
00:37:58Began to resurface
00:38:04But you proved me wrong
00:38:05With your words
00:38:06And your loyalty
00:38:09It has been a slow burn
00:38:11But it's allowed something rare to grow between us
00:38:14A deep emotional connection
00:38:17One I've never had with a man before
00:38:21You've accepted me in ways
00:38:22I didn't know I needed
00:38:24From getting emotionally attached to our fish
00:38:28To singing the same line of a song on repeat
00:38:32You've never asked me to tone it down
00:38:34Be less
00:38:35Or shrink myself to fit beside you
00:38:38You've let me
00:38:39Be me
00:38:41Completely
00:38:42And that's all I've ever wanted
00:38:45I choose you Steven
00:38:49No hesitation
00:38:50No holding back
00:38:54I want to walk out of this experiment
00:38:55Hand in hand with you
00:38:57Ready to keep building something messy
00:38:59Something beautiful
00:39:00Something real
00:39:02And entirely out
00:39:05I've never felt for anyone
00:39:06What I feel for you
00:39:09And even with all the fears that whisper
00:39:11In the background
00:39:13I want this
00:39:14I want you
00:39:16Steven
00:39:24Oh
00:39:26Oh
00:39:30Oh
00:39:30Oh my
00:39:32I've missed that laugh though
00:39:35It calms me down
00:39:37I love hearing it
00:39:38I'm glad it makes you calm
00:39:42Here we go
00:39:45Rachel
00:39:45Rachel
00:39:46On our wedding day
00:39:47I turned around
00:39:48We locked eyes
00:39:50There was lots of laughter
00:39:52A lot of laughter
00:39:57But then the experiment kicked in
00:39:59And wow
00:40:00It's been one wild ride
00:40:03We had moments that felt like pure magic
00:40:05Laughing until our cheeks hurt
00:40:08And discovering that we actually enjoy each other's weird, messy, chaotic selves
00:40:15Those days were full of curiosity and exploring
00:40:18What it meant to be open
00:40:21Vulnerable
00:40:21And willing to give this a real chance
00:40:25But of course
00:40:27Not everything was easy
00:40:31I won't lie
00:40:33There have been moments in this experiment where I seriously questioned everything
00:40:37There were times where I spent nights lying away thinking
00:40:41Can I really do this?
00:40:44Am I out of my depth?
00:40:48When the experiment began, I told myself I'd be open
00:40:52But the truth is, old habits die hard
00:40:59I was holding back and afraid of not being enough
00:41:06But you challenged me
00:41:08I wasn't used to someone expecting more from me
00:41:11I remember the moment things shifted
00:41:13It was the way you looked at me when I finally let my guard drop
00:41:17The way you stood by me when I thought I didn't deserve it
00:41:21I stopped trying to protect myself from being hurt and holding back in fear of rejection
00:41:28You saw me
00:41:30You accepted me
00:41:31All of me
00:41:33Steve-o
00:41:35You've taught me that love isn't about perfection
00:41:39It's about being real
00:41:40Coming into this experiment
00:41:41I had convinced myself that I was unlovable
00:41:44Too stubborn
00:41:46Too guarded
00:41:47And too complicated
00:41:49I had hope
00:41:50But I also found it hard to imagine anyone ever loving someone like me
00:41:57Rachel, you really changed that for me
00:42:02You taught me that my heart wasn't broken
00:42:04It was just waiting for the right person to see it
00:42:08And that person is you, Rachel
00:42:13So today
00:42:14I'm standing here to tell you
00:42:16That I choose you
00:42:21I choose your smile, your laugh, your fire
00:42:28And I promise from this day forward to show up for you
00:42:31Take every risk with you
00:42:32And to never stop choosing you
00:42:37I am falling for you
00:42:39I am falling for you
00:42:42Rachel, I choose you
00:42:43And I'm diving in
00:42:46Head first
00:42:48Fearless
00:42:52I am falling for you
00:42:55Rachel, I choose you
00:42:59And I'm diving in
00:43:00Head first
00:43:00Fearless
00:43:05Like a fairytale ending, isn't it?
00:43:07Like, to hear Rachel say I choose you
00:43:10Made me really happy
00:43:13Oh my gosh, oh my gosh
00:43:15I feel really good
00:43:16I'm like, I'm very, very happy
00:43:22Oh, you want to be my girlfriend?
00:43:23Yes, I want to be your girlfriend
00:43:24Oh, there we go, now it's official
00:43:28Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, alright
00:43:32Well
00:43:33Where to be from here, you two?
00:43:36Probably more passion
00:43:45Rachel and Stephen are leaving the building
00:43:47Or bush
00:43:49Oh my gosh
00:43:50Yeah, we've worked hard in our relationship
00:43:52We've
00:43:52I feel like I've got massive, you know
00:43:54Personal development from the experiment
00:43:56And I'm walking out with
00:43:59Well, a girlfriend
00:44:03Go through
00:44:07Oh
00:44:15There'll be more of that later
00:44:31With the experiment coming to an end
00:44:35One of this year's most tumultuous couples
00:44:37Is packing up and leaving the apartment
00:44:41Beck and Danny will now individually head back home
00:44:44And weigh up whether they want to continue their marriage
00:44:48Beyond the experiment
00:44:50No, don't leave
00:44:52No
00:44:54No, you're not allowed to go
00:44:58Moving out today, it's bittersweet
00:45:01Bitter because
00:45:02I just want to be in my love bubble with my husband
00:45:05I don't like this
00:45:07Shut up, you'll be alright
00:45:10By far the best thing I've ever done
00:45:13It's so sad
00:45:14I don't like it
00:45:19It's our place, you know
00:45:21We've had some of the best memories in here
00:45:24Some of the worst ones too, but some of the best memories
00:45:28Babe
00:45:30Can you help me? I can't lift this off the bed
00:45:33No
00:45:34Over time
00:45:36Being with Danny, being married to him, living with him
00:45:39I've seen that he is just such a sensitive soul
00:45:43Alright, see her later
00:45:47Your face
00:45:48And that whilst we both were a bit out of our depth in this experiment at times
00:45:54The effort that he's put in and worked with me
00:45:58And us together on this relationship just shows that he's really serious about it
00:46:05F***ing hell
00:46:06What have you got in there? A dead body?
00:46:10Probably the last couple of weeks has been really, really tough, I'll be honest
00:46:14Nearing the end of the experiment and I feel like pretty drained
00:46:17But look, I wouldn't change it for the world, it's been a once in a lifetime experience
00:46:22We've had some amazing times here
00:46:24We've had some horrendous times here
00:46:26We've gone through stress together, happy times, sad times, tears, everything together
00:46:32So it's been a rollercoaster, so to speak
00:46:35But we're here, which is amazing, you know
00:46:39I'm really going to cherish the next few days to actually sit down
00:46:43Go for some long walks, drink some coffee and see
00:46:47What's the right move for me, moving forward, you know
00:46:51I've got a business meeting to go to
00:46:55Some bird with massive tears
00:46:56Well, Daniel!
00:46:59It just reminds you of the journey
00:47:01Like three months ago we were strangers
00:47:04And today we're like
00:47:06Like love has come up and
00:47:09I am obsessed with him
00:47:11I love him
00:47:14See you later
00:47:17We'll speak anyway
00:47:18All right
00:47:19See ya
00:47:28After a few days apart
00:47:31Bec and Danny are reflecting on their relationship
00:47:33Before they head to final vows
00:47:36I think Danny loves me
00:47:39I think he does
00:47:40Because I think that he is going to take this time away
00:47:46And realise that we make each other better people
00:47:50I think he does love me
00:47:52But I need to hear, I need to hear it from him
00:47:55And I think final vows is the place I need to hear it
00:47:58I want to be loved
00:47:59And I want to be adored
00:48:01And I deserve it
00:48:02While Bec is crystal clear in her decision
00:48:05In his hometown of Melbourne
00:48:07Danny is not entirely convinced of the decision he'll be making about his future with Bec at the final vows
00:48:14ceremony
00:48:15I came here looking for the Bonnie to my Clyde
00:48:18And Bec has characteristics what I'm looking for
00:48:21Some of the best memories I've ever had in my life
00:48:25How do you feel about the words I wrote?
00:48:27I love what you write, that's so cute
00:48:29But, when me and Bec is very much like that
00:48:32It's very much up and down
00:48:34The hardest thing in the experiment's definitely been conflict
00:48:37One of the major doubts for me is when there's a problem which isn't even a big problem
00:48:42It can escalate into a big problem
00:48:45Because I don't feel I can really talk to Bec
00:48:47Sometimes I'm met with, with like, aggression
00:48:51And sometimes she can sort of get her back up pretty easily
00:48:54Just take it on board and
00:48:57I'm taking it on board
00:48:57And take, take what I'm saying
00:49:00Thank you
00:49:01Don't say thank you
00:49:02I'm taking it on board
00:49:03It's not about saying thank you
00:49:04But take what I'm saying
00:49:07And seriously
00:49:08Stop saying, saying thank you
00:49:11Yeah, I'm done
00:49:13It's f***ing going
00:49:14It's fine
00:49:15This is what I mean
00:49:19Yeah, good luck for me for the rest of the night getting crucified
00:49:23Like
00:49:24Daniel, come and sit next to me
00:49:31Daniel, stand here and look united with me
00:49:34Babe
00:49:35Don't tell me what to do
00:49:36Bec does like drama
00:49:38She's been involved in a lot of drama with the group
00:49:40You've given me the ick
00:49:41If you can't read the situation accurately and you misinterpret words
00:49:46Like, that's not really on me, that's on you
00:49:47Oh honey, you're the one that wrote them and read them
00:49:51It ain't me, I'm reading them how you said them
00:49:54When we went to dinner party free and Bec went off at everyone
00:49:57I felt so uncomfortable
00:49:58I was embarrassed of her behaviour
00:50:00Just stare at me with your evil eyes
00:50:04Danny looks embarrassed
00:50:05Because neither of you have got any friends here anymore
00:50:10And then trying to talk to her about it
00:50:13I had to be very careful with the way I was word of my words
00:50:17Seeing her behave that way, how did you feel?
00:50:20It's a tough question to answer
00:50:22He's scared of her
00:50:24Just answer honestly
00:50:25Were you proud? Were you embarrassed?
00:50:30Um...
00:50:30You were what?
00:50:31Maybe slightly embarrassed, yeah
00:50:35We have been through hell and high water together
00:50:39We've had each other's backs, there's been good points
00:50:42But there's also been some really, really bad times
00:50:45So I have to sit down as a man
00:50:48Assess if Bec's the right person for me
00:51:05I cannot believe that I've come into this experiment
00:51:09Fallen in love and...
00:51:11I'm standing here at final vows
00:51:13Today could be absolutely life changing for me
00:51:16It could literally be the beginning of the rest of my life
00:51:33Me and Bec get along so well we care about each other
00:51:40Honestly that I've given this experiment everything I've got
00:51:46That I do have to make the correct decision for my life and my future as well
00:52:16I am manifesting that it's going to be the best day ever
00:52:21And that I'm going to hear exactly what I hope to hear
00:52:24And we run off into the future together
00:52:29I love Danny
00:52:31Even though we argue
00:52:33That doesn't diminish the feelings that I have for him
00:52:36We have overcome so many hurdles together
00:52:39And I can't imagine my life without him now
00:52:57Let me see
00:52:59Oh my gosh
00:53:01I see
00:53:14Alright, shall we?
00:53:15Let's do it
00:53:16Oh my gosh
00:53:19Daniel, coming to this experiment
00:53:22when I first met you with the enters the aisle
00:53:24I'll be honest
00:53:28I didn't feel an instant spark
00:53:30I remember thinking you weren't quite my type
00:53:33and maybe even that you're a bit of a f***ing boy
00:53:36for f***ing sake
00:53:38but as the days went on
00:53:40I started to see something different
00:53:41someone kind, someone grounded
00:53:43and quietly protective
00:53:46our honeymoon, we had moments of laughter
00:53:48connection and excitement
00:53:51when we moved into our apartment
00:53:53I felt hopeful
00:53:54it started to feel like we were building something real
00:53:57but then you told me
00:53:58we had low sexual chemistry
00:54:01but
00:54:02we chose our relationship
00:54:04and instead of running away, we worked on it
00:54:06and tried to reconnect
00:54:07one kiss every morning and one kiss every night
00:54:12in intimacy week
00:54:13the fantasy night changed everything
00:54:15for the first time
00:54:16I felt like we truly connected emotionally
00:54:18physically and spiritually
00:54:19it was a moment I realised
00:54:21this wasn't just an experiment anymore
00:54:23it was something real
00:54:24and something worth fighting for
00:54:26of course it hasn't all been smooth sailing
00:54:28we've had our arguments
00:54:31at the third dinner party
00:54:33I let my emotions get the better of me
00:54:36and I could see the disappointment in your eyes
00:54:39when you said that I embarrassed you
00:54:41I was crushed
00:54:42because your opinion of me
00:54:43actually matters so much
00:54:47you are without a doubt
00:54:48the funniest man I've ever met
00:54:50and I love that about you
00:54:52you light up every room
00:54:53and every day with you
00:54:54bring smiles and laughter
00:54:57love isn't just about the good moments
00:54:59it's about who you choose to stand beside
00:55:01when things get hard
00:55:09Daniel you're my best friend
00:55:11my safe space
00:55:12you make me a better person
00:55:13and you lift me up when I'm down
00:55:15you're the kind of man
00:55:16everyone wants in their corner
00:55:17you're loyal
00:55:18funny
00:55:18and endlessly giving
00:55:19I've watched you be the best friend
00:55:20to everyone around you
00:55:21always the first to help
00:55:23or make people smile
00:55:24my dog Coco loved you
00:55:26from the moment she met you
00:55:27and that told me everything
00:55:28I needed to know about your heart
00:55:30my family adore you
00:55:32and seeing you with them
00:55:33seeing how naturally
00:55:34you fit into my world
00:55:35has made me realise
00:55:36how much I want you to stay in it
00:55:39I look at you now
00:55:40and I see the man
00:55:41I want to build a life with
00:55:42a man who has made me
00:55:43see a future for myself
00:55:44that I didn't see before
00:55:46the man who makes me laugh
00:55:48challenges me
00:55:48and reminds me
00:55:49that love can grow
00:55:50in the most unexpected places
00:55:52so today
00:55:54standing here
00:55:54I'm choosing you
00:55:56and I promise to choose you
00:55:58every day from here on out
00:55:59because
00:56:01simply quote
00:56:02I love you
00:56:09aww
00:56:10thanks so much
00:56:11that was beautiful
00:56:21you okay?
00:56:22should I
00:56:23do you want me to go now?
00:56:24yeah
00:56:25where else you gonna go?
00:56:39beg
00:56:42first and foremost
00:56:42I want to start off
00:56:43by saying
00:56:44how much of an honour
00:56:45it has been to do
00:56:46this crazy experiment
00:56:46with you
00:56:48I came on to this experiment
00:56:50looking for the Bonnie
00:56:52to my Clyde
00:56:54our wedding day
00:56:55was beautiful
00:56:56we instantly seemed
00:56:57to get on
00:56:58she had the same sense
00:56:59of humour
00:57:00it put my mind at ease
00:57:03then we went to our honeymoon
00:57:04to beautiful Fiji
00:57:06it felt like the experts
00:57:08had found me
00:57:08someone who aligned
00:57:09with me in so many ways
00:57:10we could talk
00:57:11and laugh for hours
00:57:14but it was also
00:57:16where we had
00:57:17our first stumbling block
00:57:18you accused me
00:57:19of looking at another woman
00:57:23now
00:57:23I felt like you were
00:57:24seeking out a negative
00:57:27but I realised
00:57:28your insecurities
00:57:29were at play
00:57:29and realised how important
00:57:31it was to reassure you
00:57:33moving through the experiment
00:57:34we struggled
00:57:35aligning on intimacy
00:57:37it took me longer
00:57:38to find that spark
00:57:39but through that
00:57:40I was so proud
00:57:41of the way
00:57:41you and I
00:57:42dived headfirst
00:57:43into intimacy week
00:57:45and I have to say
00:57:46the night we painted
00:57:47each other's bodies
00:57:47was one of my favourite
00:57:48nights of the experiment
00:57:49it brought out
00:57:50an emotional side of me
00:57:52that I didn't even know
00:57:52was there
00:57:53and attraction grew
00:57:55I was so glad
00:57:56I stuck around
00:57:57and I thank you for that
00:58:01we spent the next few weeks
00:58:03really getting to know
00:58:04each other
00:58:04peeling back the layers
00:58:07laughing non-stop
00:58:07and feeling more and more
00:58:08comfortable around one another
00:58:10it started to feel like
00:58:11we were building
00:58:12something really special
00:58:15then at the third
00:58:16dinner party
00:58:16I saw a different
00:58:17side of you
00:58:19you were on the attack
00:58:20you were vulgar
00:58:22it seemed like you
00:58:23were seeking out drama
00:58:24I will admit
00:58:25I was embarrassed
00:58:27and uncomfortable
00:58:28I questioned everything
00:58:30and whether this was
00:58:31the relationship I wanted
00:58:33but still I chose
00:58:34to stand by your side
00:58:35I knew that we had
00:58:36so many good qualities
00:58:37worth fighting for
00:58:40I was so proud
00:58:41of the way
00:58:42that you worked on yourself
00:58:43after that dinner party
00:58:44you were kind
00:58:46you were honest
00:58:46and you made a real effort
00:58:47to make amends
00:58:48with everyone in the group
00:58:49that you had hurt
00:58:52from there
00:58:53we went from strength
00:58:53to strength
00:58:54we had each other's backs
00:58:55and everything felt right
00:58:57you told me you loved me
00:58:58and although I couldn't say it
00:59:00back in that moment
00:59:00it didn't scare me away
00:59:02it truly meant the world
00:59:03to me to hear
00:59:04how you were feeling
00:59:05in that moment
00:59:07going to Adelaide
00:59:08and seeing you in your home
00:59:09with your beautiful dog Coco
00:59:11showed me an even softer side of you
00:59:13I could see us living together
00:59:15in Adelaide as a couple
00:59:19it felt like everything
00:59:20was falling into place
00:59:21and I felt excited
00:59:22for what our future could be
00:59:27then on the final night
00:59:28in Adelaide
00:59:28I cracked a joke
00:59:29that landed wrong
00:59:32in hindsight
00:59:33perhaps I shouldn't
00:59:34have made that joke
00:59:34and for that
00:59:35I apologise again
00:59:36oh babe
00:59:37but you couldn't let it go
00:59:39rarely highlighted to me
00:59:40how our fight styles
00:59:42didn't align
00:59:44suddenly all of the good energy
00:59:46from Adelaide disappeared
00:59:47and put major doubts
00:59:48into my head
00:59:49as to whether the move
00:59:50to Adelaide would be smart
00:59:51because if these things
00:59:53were to happen
00:59:53outside the experiment
00:59:54it would make me feel
00:59:55more isolated than ever
00:59:58at the final task
00:59:59where we met
01:00:01our alternative matches
01:00:02I approached it
01:00:03in a respectful manner
01:00:04however
01:00:05when I watched the video
01:00:06back of you
01:00:07you ridiculed me
01:00:08for the shirt
01:00:09I was wearing
01:00:10and said that
01:00:11I'm not intimate enough
01:00:12with you
01:00:13in a vulgar way
01:00:14to a group of males
01:00:15that were strangers
01:00:18you told me
01:00:19after the task
01:00:20that Gia State
01:00:20basically forced you
01:00:21to take his number
01:00:22but watching the video
01:00:23back I saw
01:00:24that was a complete lie
01:00:28when I tried
01:00:29to bring this up
01:00:30with you
01:00:30in a calm
01:00:31and respectful manner
01:00:32I was met with conflict
01:00:33and you storming out
01:00:34it was a stark reminder
01:00:36that our fight styles
01:00:37don't match
01:00:38in important discussions
01:00:41I've always said
01:00:42that I want to start
01:00:43thinking about
01:00:43having kids soon
01:00:44and when I think
01:00:45of bringing kids
01:00:46into the world
01:00:47I want to bring kids
01:00:48into a stable relationship
01:00:49and a stable loving home
01:00:51the same as I had
01:00:52when I was a child
01:00:55stepping away
01:00:56from the experiment
01:00:57in the last week
01:00:57I rarely thought about
01:00:59how I felt
01:01:00having space
01:01:00on my own again
01:01:02and as much as it
01:01:03breaks my heart
01:01:04to say this
01:01:05I felt a weight
01:01:06come off my shoulders
01:01:08particularly at a time
01:01:09where I knew
01:01:10I should have been
01:01:10missing you
01:01:14I believe you can have
01:01:15multiple soulmates
01:01:16in life
01:01:17some who are your best friends
01:01:18and some who are your lovers
01:01:20Bec I believe you're my soulmate
01:01:22as a friend
01:01:22but I've come to realize
01:01:24there's doubt in my mind
01:01:25that if you are my soulmate
01:01:26as a lover
01:01:38I've always said
01:01:39that I want to start
01:01:40thinking about having kids soon
01:01:41and when I think
01:01:42of bringing kids
01:01:43into the world

01:02:16my soulmate as a friend
01:02:18but I've come to realize
01:02:19there's doubt in my mind
01:02:20that if you are my soulmate
01:02:21as a lover
01:02:24honestly from the bottom
01:02:25of my heart
01:02:26I'm so sorry
01:02:26to do this to you
01:02:27but I can't be
01:02:28your husband anymore
01:02:30I know this might
01:02:31be hard to hear
01:02:32but I think
01:02:33we both deserve
01:02:34a happy relationship
01:02:35and like a healthier one
01:02:40I'm so sorry
01:02:49okay
01:02:53I'm actually so sorry
01:02:54I never wanted to hurt you
01:02:55no
01:03:01I do honestly think
01:03:03you're my soulmate as a friend
01:03:06I don't think
01:03:06you're going to think
01:03:07more to say
01:03:09okay
01:03:12so sorry
01:03:12no Daniel
01:03:15I don't think
01:03:44I don't think
01:04:13I don't think
01:04:25that was real
01:04:28she actually took it
01:04:31the way she took it
01:04:32made it actually worse
01:04:36I'd have actually
01:04:36rather her got angry
01:04:38or something
01:04:38the way she actually
01:04:39took it made it worse
01:04:40because she actually
01:04:41took it like such a lady
01:04:44if she would have abused me
01:04:45and stuff
01:04:45it would have actually
01:04:46made it so much easier
01:04:47to be honest
01:04:48see like
01:04:49why couldn't she have been
01:04:50like that the whole
01:04:50way through the experiment
01:04:51and stay with her
01:04:53do you know what I mean
01:04:54do you know what I mean
01:04:54that's what's so cooked
01:04:56about it like
01:04:56it would have been
01:04:57so much better
01:04:58if she just
01:04:58twatted me one
01:05:11look how flawlessly
01:05:12did she take that
01:05:13why couldn't she have
01:05:14just been like that
01:05:15the whole way through
01:05:15the experiment
01:05:16I'd be with the girl
01:05:18why's that other side
01:05:19got to be there
01:05:20because it's a side
01:05:20that I just can't have
01:05:33I've been blindsided
01:05:35I just didn't think
01:05:38it was gonna go this way

01:11:39I came into
01:11:41this experiment
01:11:41looking for love
01:11:42I definitely found
01:11:44what I've
01:11:44come here for
01:11:45I always thought
01:11:46their vulnerability
01:11:47was a weakness
01:11:47but every single
01:11:49time I've opened up
01:11:50whether it be
01:11:50in front of Stella
01:11:51or the experts
01:11:53I've always been
01:11:53rewarded with
01:11:54like a stronger
01:11:55bond with Stella
01:11:57I ask the question
01:11:57of like
01:11:58alright if we go
01:11:58outside the experiment
01:11:59how quick would you
01:12:00expect like a
01:12:01proposal or something
01:12:02like that
01:12:02just to like
01:12:03fully escalate
01:12:04things
01:12:04and Stella
01:12:04was just like
01:12:06ASAP
01:12:06so it's just
01:12:07kind of like
01:12:07I say the sooner
01:12:08the better
01:12:08the sooner
01:12:09the better
01:12:10this is the start
01:12:10of something
01:12:11pretty special

01:12:21as she looks back
01:12:22on her magical
01:12:24journey with
01:12:24Philip
01:12:25I asked the
01:12:27experts to be
01:12:28the love story
01:12:29and I got it
01:12:31my wish got granted
01:12:33quite early on

01:12:35I am forming
01:12:36strong feelings

01:17:19Stella
01:17:24what a journey
01:17:25these last
01:17:26three months
01:17:27have been
01:17:28I never
01:17:29expected
01:17:30to fall
01:17:30in love
01:17:32I'd
01:17:32watch
01:17:33friends
01:17:33around me
01:17:34find it
01:17:34and thought
01:17:35maybe it was
01:17:35only reserved
01:17:36for other
01:17:36people
01:17:37but the
01:17:38moment I
01:17:39turned around
01:17:39on our
01:17:39wedding day
01:17:40and saw
01:17:40those piercing
01:17:41blue eyes
01:17:41that smile
01:17:43and your
01:17:43tiny shaking
01:17:44hands
01:17:44I knew my
01:17:45life was
01:17:46about to
01:17:46change
01:17:47your
01:17:48vows
01:17:48showed me
01:17:48your
01:17:49warmth
01:17:49kindness
01:17:50and heart
01:17:51from that
01:17:52moment
01:17:52I felt
01:17:53a connection
01:17:53that's only
01:17:54grown stronger
01:17:55with every
01:17:55day that's
01:17:56passed since
01:17:58on the
01:17:59honeymoon
01:17:59learning about
01:18:00each other
01:18:00sharing values
01:18:01and realizing
01:18:02how naturally
01:18:03we fit
01:18:04it all confirmed
01:18:05that what we
01:18:05had was real
01:18:07but it hasn't
01:18:08been all smooth
01:18:09sailing
01:18:11I told you
01:18:12I loved you
01:18:12I'll never forget
01:18:14that simple
01:18:14perfect moment
01:18:15I hadn't said
01:18:16I loved you in years
01:18:17and I meant
01:18:18it with
01:18:18absolute
01:18:19certainty
01:18:20when you
01:18:21pulled back
01:18:22I struggled
01:18:22wondering if
01:18:23maybe I
01:18:24wasn't
01:18:24wasn't enough
01:18:27I felt
01:18:27helpless
01:18:28unsure
01:18:29of what
01:18:29more I
01:18:30could do
01:18:30to convince
01:18:30you that

01:18:37love
