00:06:41hundred percent
00:06:41yeah and you have your your points and you have your reasons and I respect them I respect you no
00:06:49matter what but I just can't say yes yeah without knowing yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry
00:06:59love is a choice and you choose to be with someone you choose to make those decisions together and for
00:07:06me like I can see a future with him and I know I can get there so I thought that
00:07:13would be enough but
00:07:16I don't think that was enough for him
00:07:19yeah so she did say yes she is open to possibly having children right we knew that
00:07:25but for me to say yes I just wanted a little more assurance from her god damn yeah
00:07:35obviously we want to let our feelings make the decision for us at the altar
00:07:39but I cannot say I do if I know the other person is not 100 with kids
00:07:46yes if she would have said independently I will have kids with you would that have changed your
00:07:52yeah I think it would have
00:07:57yeah
00:07:58oh
00:07:59oh
00:08:08drop 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

00:10:03like
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

00:15:52You need to turn around.

00:15:56I want to see you in the mirror.
00:15:58Let's look at us.
00:15:59You look pretty too.
00:16:00You look like the perfect flower princess.
00:16:03Gorgeous.
00:16:05What do you think?
00:16:06Are you nervous?
00:16:10I will say for the longest time,
00:16:12I have always wanted to see you get married.
00:16:14So 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.
00:16:18So, okay.
00:16:18So be honest.
00:16:18I always felt like you were very like independent.
00:16:22Like you were just like...
00:16:22I didn't think you would...
00:16:23I felt like if you were gonna get tied down,
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.
00:16:32Yeah.
00:16:32I figured you'd get tied down around then.
00:16:33So...
00:16:34Well, you have to put it on the other hand, Emma.
00:16:35No, not this one.
00:16:37Well, that's too bad.
00:16:39I'm gonna get on this one better.
00:16:41Let me put some chapstick on you real quick.
00:16:45Too bad.
00:16:46Aw, are you gonna 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.

00:17:02I love you.
00:17:04You're my best friend.
00:17:06And I love you.
00:17:08And thank you for going through life with me.

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 into 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.
00:17:52Oh, man, I'm freaking out right now.
00:17:54Oh, God.
00:17:57Oh, God.
00:18:08What?
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.
00:18:36Look at this.
00:18:38It's okay.
00:18:40You good?

00:19:14Bye.
00:19:29Bye.
00:19:33Bye.
00:19:33you to know that of course i support you i think that jordan is a good guy sounds to me
00:19:39like he
00:19:40really likes you i fucking have yeah does that mean better yeah honestly like you know it's a big
00:19:48decision of course getting married whether you guys go through with it or not i'm personally
00:19:52expecting this not to go through just because i think that you know maybe he wants more time
00:20:03so i will say if you guys both say yes it will genuinely be a huge shock to me
00:20:06uh in a good way you know i'll say in a good way
00:20:12for me it's a yes but that's like a lot to ask for him i'm understanding either way though
00:20:22i will say this um till the day i died i think that you deserve the best thank you
00:20:28man
00:20:46here on the ground up to the moon
00:20:56Hello.
00:20:56That's pretty girl.
00:20:57Good job, baby Curry.
00:20:59She's so cute.
00:21:34She's so pretty.
00:21:36Mm-hmm.
00:21:43I see mommy.
00:21:47Sorry.
00:21:52I love you.
00:21:58It looks so good.
00:22:00Yeah, sweet.
00:22:01I love this one.
00:22:04Thanks.
00:22:04This is the second one we brought today.
00:22:07Please be seated.
00:22:14We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Amber and Jordan.
00:22:19Love is the foundation upon which we build our lives.
00:22:23Love brings people together, strengthens them in times of hardship, and fills life with meaning and joy.
00:22:31Amber and Jordan stand before us, ready to take the next step in this extraordinary journey of love.
00:22:44Jordan made me a better person, honestly.
00:22:47He always has a positive attitude.
00:22:49He's always looking to make the best out of a situation.
00:22:52He is always looking to say hi to the stranger.
00:22:54He made, like, seven airport friends over a CPAP.
00:22:59Like...
00:23:00He's starting a CPAP club, actually.
00:23:03He said he was 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 and realize, like, what truly matters in life.
00:23:27Amber, we both put so much effort and love into this.
00:23:44Amber and Jordan, you chose to get engaged and spend the rest of your lives together based on a deep
00:23:52emotional connection.
00:23:57Now is the time to decide if love is blind.
00:24:09Will you get married and commit to face life together as husband and wife, or will you walk away forever?
00:24:21Amber?
00:24:23Do you take Jordan to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:24:26Do you solemnly vow to be his faithful partner in sickness and in health,
00:24:31in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow?
00:24:36Do you promise to love him unconditionally,
00:24:38to honor and respect him,
00:24:41to laugh with him and cry with him,
00:24:43and to cherish him as long as you both shall live?
00:24:47If so, say, I do.
00:24:58I do.
00:25:00But I understand if there's any doubts.
00:25:05I have a lot going on.
00:25:12No, no, it is.
00:25:12Oh, thank you.
00:25:14There're so good.
00:25:23I know so much.
00:25:27to respect her and to cherish her as long as you both shall live?
00:25:32If so, say, I do.
00:25:56I want to follow my heart and say that I do.
00:26:00So your answer is?
00:26:02I do.
00:26:25I feel very certain.
00:26:34Jordan, you may kiss your bride.
00:26:47Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan and Amber Faith.
00:27:00Oh, my 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.
00:27:18I feel one 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 deal.
00:27:29All right.
00:27:30Let's have some fun.
00:27:32Come here.
00:27:36Are you excited?
00:27:38Yeah.
00:27:38You're done.
00:27:43Cheers.
00:27:43Cheers.
00:27:45Cheers.
00:27:46Cheers.
00:27:48Cheers.
00:27:58Cheers.
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%.
00:29:18I 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.
00:29:44I was willing to make adjustments to what I believe.
00:29:51Yeah, right, yeah.
00:29:53We're still going to be together.
00:29:54We're still engaged.
00:29:56I do see 100%, like, marrying each other.
00:30:00Our story's not over, 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.
00:31:01She 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.
00:31:24And, like, 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.
00:32:30I 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?
00:33:00I'll never forget you.
00:33:02I think what I'm most fearful of is having to start all over.
00:33:07If for some reason we don't work, I'm fearful to have to be vulnerable with somebody else all over again.
00:33:18Because it was really hard to do it in this instance, but it paid off because now I have the
00:33:27love of my life, my person, my best friend, that I hope to be my best friend again one day.
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.
00:33:54Like, 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.
00:34:05From the day that I met you to the day I die.
00:34:11It starts right here.
00:34:18It starts right here.
00:34:21It's my wedding day.
00:34:23It's the biggest day that I've had in my life so far.
00:34:26I've been second best a lot of times.
00:34:29You know, I've been cheated on.
00:34:31I've been lied to.
00:34:32And I 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.
00:34:41Love is choosing someone every single day.
00:34:44Waking up and just being 100% confident in your decision to be with that person, to make them your
00:34:50wife, to be their husband.
00:34:51And I just remember being all in and telling my dad, like, I met the man of my dreams.
00:34:55You know, I've been crying so much, too.
00:34:57Like, I get so emotional.
00:34:58I don't know why.
00:34:58I'm, like, not the emotional type.
00:35:00It's almost like it's your wedding day.
00:35:01It's almost like it's my wedding day.
00:35:02It's a crazy time in my life.
00:35:04Did 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, how strong it probably does really make him to live the childhood he lived,
00:35:17to have the adult life that he had.
00:35:21You know, his dreams were taken away from him.
00:35:23He had trouble in his childhood with, you know, stepfathers, fathers, whatever it was.
00:35:27Um, I had such a different life.
00:35:30Hi!
00:35:30Hi, girls!
00:35:32Hi, baby!
00:35:33I have lived a very stable life with a great family.
00:35:38And he has not.
00:35:40But I think that will make him not only a great husband, but a great father.
00:35:44Um, so, yeah, that's what makes Alex so special.
00:35:50It's insane that one person, after such a short period of time, can make you feel all these emotions all
00:35:57at once.
00:35:58Ash, did you ever think you would get to this moment?
00:36:01No.
00:36:02I am the bride.
00:36:04The bride.
00:36:05I'm the bride.
00:36:07Brine.
00:36:07I can't believe it.
00:36:18I think Ashley makes a phenomenal life in a number of ways.
00:36:22Um, just the confidence that she has.
00:36:24She meets every single thing that I could want checked in a box or whatever, uh, 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 when it comes to, you know, choosing a wife.
00:36:40Are you nervous to walk down the wedding aisle?
00:36:42No.
00:36:43You, I mean, you play Division I soccer, you know what I'm talking about.
00:36:46You walk out, like, the crowd's there.
00:36:47In front of 5,000 people.
00:36:48You're used to that.
00:36:48You're used to that.
00:36:49I mean, I am ready to marry Ashley.
00:36:50And the fact that I'm able to stay cool, calm, and collected on a day like this, with high kind
00:36:54of stakes involved,
00:36:55it's like a penalty shootout.
00:36:56With everything on the line, there's no pressure on the goalkeeper ever, because they're supposed to score.
00:37:00I, as a goalkeeper, felt very, very confident in, you know, making saves at that point.
00:37:04You kind of walk around with your shoulders out, ready to, you know, make the save that you need to.
00:37:09And at the moment, that's kind of what this feels like today.
00:37:11Big stakes.
00:37:11You decide the game today.
00:37:13It's not that I'm emotionally numb or anything like that.
00:37:15It's more, I've been here before.
00:37:17I do feel confident in what I bring to the table, and 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've got to meet her at some point.
00:37:24You 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 from politics to sense of humor.
00:37:33I don't know, she's a phenomenal person.
00:37:35Great partner.
00:37:36What kind of family does she come from?
00:37:37Older brother, and then her father was definitely extroverted for sure.
00:37:42You said he's a divorce attorney?
00:37:43Yeah, dude, that was nuts.
00:37:45That's why the family to marry.
00:37:46Yeah, it was insane, dude.
00:37:47That's where you want to be.
00:37:48Yeah, you got grilled, I'm sure.
00:37:49I did.
00:37:50I did.
00:37:51So, like, I day trade, obviously, and, like, I know the Australian dollar.
00:37:55We were talking about crypto for a little bit.
00:37:56I mean, like, he'll start talking about something else,
00:37:59and then randomly, he'll just be like,
00:38:00all right, so what's the price of crypto right now?
00:38:02I'm like, I don't trade that first off.
00:38:04Off the top of my head?
00:38:05Yeah, like, what?
00:38:06You know, I don't really think I have any fears at the moment.
00:38:10I mean, outside of maybe sharks in the water,
00:38:11but that's, you know, I think pretty normal.
00:38:14What's up, boys?
00:38:15Who's sexy?
00:38:17I'll rip one sleeve off and show off the arm.
00:38:19I would love to.
00:38:21Oh, dude.
00:38:23My guy, gracias, Chico.
00:38:26Just say I'll do it.
00:38:31Oh.
00:38:33Hi.
00:38:34I'm so excited.
00:38:36Wow.
00:38:37Sparkly?
00:38:38You sparkly?
00:38:38You gonna get me?
00:38:39Yeah, I don't want to get my lipstick on you.
00:38:41How you doing?
00:38:41Good, how are you?
00:38:42Good.
00:38:43Wow, you clean up okay?
00:38:46Thank you, thank you.
00:38:47How are you doing, kiddo?
00:38:49Good.
00:38:49I'm comfortable, confident, sleeping well, clear head.
00:38:53Good.
00:38:54Where I should be.
00:38:55Well, I'm proud of 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, for sure.
00:39:02Yeah, of course they are.
00:39:03For sure.
00:39:03And I'm just certain they are very proud of you.
00:39:06I hope so.
00:39:07I hope so.
00:39:08A lot of this day has been the pregame warmup,
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.
00:39:18I think we're basically walking out to the field right now.
00:39:20It's game time now.
00:39:22Mm-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 like that.
00:39:33Ah!
00:39:35Oh, my God.
00:39:36Oh, my God, Jessie.
00:39:37Okay, everybody, don't cry.
00:39:39Don't cry.
00:39:40You're going to be like a walking Barbie.
00:39:42Yeah, I do.
00:39:43Yeah, Barbie.
00:39:45Oh, the button.
00:39:47The button.
00:39:47They're so pretty.
00:39:48Nice.
00:39:48Perfect.
00:39:50Baby.
00:39:51I love you.
00:39:52Okay.
00:39:52So proud of you.
00:40:01Oh, my God.
00:40:02I love you.
00:40:03I love you.
00:40:04Yes, sir.
00:40:07Oh.
00:40:16Do 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, and I didn't know if I'd be everybody's
00:40:43cup of tea.
00:40:43I'm just this boring girl from a small town in Ohio.
00:40:47You look fantastic.
00:40:49Boy, that is a pretty dress.
00:40:50I've been crying all day.
00:40:52But the people I've met, the men that I've dated, the man that I'm about to marry, everything that I've
00:40:57had here has made me so much more confident.
00:41:00Do you think I've changed throughout this process?
00:41:02I do.
00:41:02It feels amazing to put on my dress.
00:41:05There have been many conversations that I'm not Alex's type.
00:41:13So I hope when he sees me today, he realizes how wrong he is.
00:41:18If I'm being completely honest, I would be shocked if Alex said yes.
00:41:22I'd be happy.
00:41:24Obviously, nobody wants to be rejected, but I am more so expecting a no from Alex.
00:41:31Love you.
00:41:31Love you, Tweet.
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.
00:41:42Like, who cares?
00:41:43Like, who cares if they like me?
00:41:45Who cares if they want to be with me?
00:41:46It's more, do I want to be with them?
00:41:48And I think that's my biggest thing today is it's my wedding day.
00:41:53And the answer could be no.
00:41:54The answer could be yes.
00:41:55But someone out there is going to be the love of my life.
00:41:59And if it's Alex, it is Alex.
00:42:01If we choose each other today, then he will be the person that changes my life for the better.
00:42:06I know that I am choosing someone today because of happiness.
00:42:12Confident 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.
00:42:49Here.
00:42:50Oh, my God.
00:42:52Oh, my God.
00:42:53I'm so nervous.
00:42:54Your future is right in front of you.
00:42:55I can feel it.
00:42:57I got this.
00:42:58You got this.
00:43:00I got this.
00:43:01You're Ashley Carpenter.
00:43:03Black belt.
00:43:06Are you more nervous now or when you did that first tournament?
00:43:10Probably now.
00:43:16Ladies and gentlemen, will you please rise for the entrance of our bride?
00:43:22Oh, no.
00:43:24Here we go.
00:43:25Oh, my God.
00:43:26Oh, my God.
00:43:54Oh, my God.
00:44:15You may be seated, everyone.
00:44:24Good.
00:44:24Good.
00:44:26Dearly beloved.
00:44:27We're gathered here today to celebrate Ashley and Alex, a unique love born from truly unique
00:44:36circumstances.
00:44:37While there are many dimensions to love, arguably the most beautiful is that love has no requirements
00:44:45and it knows no limitations based on who you are or how you look.
00:44:49So, it is with love in mind that we celebrate these two wonderful people today.
00:44:55They have come so far together.
00:44:58From sitting in the pods, excited for the chance to learn about each other, to standing on this
00:45:03platform 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, whether
00:45:24it's riding horseback in Mexico or competing on the golf course together.
00:45:29It's incredible to get to know you, I fell for your voice, I fell for your sense of humor, and
00:45:36I've enjoyed every second of this.
00:45:45Alex, 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.
00:46:02Not bad.
00:46:07Ashley and Alex, you chose to get engaged and spend the rest of your lives together based on a deep
00:46:14emotional connection.
00:46:16Now is the time to decide if love is blind.
00:46:25Will you get married and commit to face life together as husband and wife, or will you walk away forever?
00:46:35Alex, we're going to begin with you.
00:46:39Alex, do you take Ashley to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward,
00:46:45for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health,
00:46:50to 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.
00:47:18When we were in the pods, all of our stories, all of our future plans, they aligned perfectly.
00:47:23However, once we left the pods, there was no effort.
00:47:27There was no intimacy.
00:47:28There were no questions that you had for me.
00:47:30And I felt like as soon as we moved into the apartment, we were roommates.
00:47:40Something always kind of felt off.
00:47:43Your stories were so vivid.
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.
00:48:00I lead my life with integrity, which is one of the reasons you've told me that you fall in love
00:48:04with me,
00:48:05and I expect my husband to do the same thing.
00:48:07That's okay.
00:48:07Unfortunately, I do feel like you have missed that mark.
00:48:10Okay.
00:48:14Wow.
00:48:16I used to ignore red flags.
00:48:20I accepted dishonesty, and I spent far too much time waiting for a man to love me that was not
00:48:28my person.
00:48:29I think this process has really made us grow, and I'm very proud of the woman I am today,
00:48:34and I hope you're proud of the man that you are through all of this.
00:48:37Absolutely.
00:48:39If I was standing here a year ago, I would have ignored all of the red flags, all of the
00:48:45lies.
00:48:45I would have probably thought, I can change him or just give it some more time,
00:48:49and I would have spent far too much time waiting for you to become the man that I deserve.
00:48:55Because I know I deserve something extraordinary, and I deserve so much better.
00:49:07So, I am so sorry, but it is a no for me today.
00:49:11Wow.
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.
00:49:41From my end, it's mutual.
00:49:46Saying no to you today is a win.
00:49:52Hey, I'm here.
00:49:57Hey, I'm here.
00:49:58Hey, I'm here.
00:49:59Come on, baby.
00:49:59Rain slips between my fingers
00:50:03And it's washing you away
00:50:06Rain so my tears don't linger
00:50:10Rain down like a hurricane
00:50:13Got you hotline and sinker
00:50:17And it's washing you away
00:50:20She's not how it calls him a liar.
00:50:22No.
00:50:23Jesus, it's not right.
00:50:34All right.
00:50:35Clocked that guy.
00:50:39Appreciate you, boys.
00:50:41We got you.
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.
00:50:53And 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.
00:50:58You'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 okay?
00:51:13No.
00:51:14What do you mean?
00:51:16I will say I didn't expect integrity to be called into question.
00:51:19I 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
00:51:35and 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.
00:51:42Yeah!
00:51:48I'm sure he's a little annoyed that I called out his integrity
00:51:53in front of all of his friends and his mom.
00:51:55But I don't care.
00:51:58I just don't care.
00:51:59Today was all about me.
00:52:01I could tell when I walked in.
00:52:02He didn't say much.
00:52:03Like, why did he only, like...
00:52:04Because he has nothing to say.
00:52:05He knows I'm right.
00:52:06Anything, anything to say.
00:52:08That 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 you can say?
00:52:12He didn't love me.
00:52:13He didn't even like me.
00:52:14I don't think so.
00:52:15Really?
00:52:15Yeah, 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,
00:52:22I don't think he's here for the right reasons.
00:52:24I think he wanted something else out of this
00:52:28rather than a wife.
00:52:29Just not the right guy.
00:52:30Perfect dress, perfect venue.
00:52:32Not the perfect guy.
00:52:57I've been drifting away for so long
00:53:02Spilling out words till I'm empty
00:53:06Healing waters move without sound
00:53:11Asleep through the years without feeling
00:53:15Today is wedding day and I am beyond excited.
00:53:18I don't even know what word to use.
00:53:20I'm not running away
00:53:22He's so pretty.
00:53:24I knew he was my person
00:53:27and I didn't care what he looked like.
00:53:30I knew that I was so crazy in love with him.
00:53:33Like, the rest didn't matter.
00:53:35Like, I love him.
00:53:36I love his qualities.
00:53:37I love his heart.
00:53:38I love his mind.
00:53:39I love his soul.
00:53:40I love how much he loves other people.
00:53:43I love how passionate he is.
00:53:46I love how smart he is.
00:53:47I love how silly he can be.
00:53:49I know he's not perfect for everybody,
00:53:51but for me, he, like, could not be
00:53:53more perfect for my personality
00:53:55and what I envisioned in my life
00:53:57and what I want in a husband
00:53:58and what I want in the father of my kids.
00:54:06I've just been calm and confident.
00:54:10with him, you know, you know.
00:54:15My biggest fear
00:54:17is just, like, not feeling good enough.
00:54:26Whether it's family stuff
00:54:27or education stuff
00:54:29or upbringing stuff,
00:54:30a lot of my fear in dating in the past
00:54:32was that when someone really gets to know me
00:54:34and see my flaws
00:54:35or my family's flaws,
00:54:37that I wouldn't feel good enough.
00:54:39And that's why this experiment was so beautiful
00:54:41because I gave him everything
00:54:43and he said, like, you are good enough.
00:54:52And I'm going to cry saying it,
00:54:54but he wrote me something in the pods
00:54:57and, like, the very first line
00:55:00was,
00:55:01I can't see you,
00:55:02but I see you.
00:55:04And I felt seen.
00:55:06It didn't feel like some BS wording.
00:55:09And so I felt, like,
00:55:10really loved and accepted.
00:55:12And so that fear kind of dissipated,
00:55:14like, right there in that moment,
00:55:15and it hasn't even crept up
00:55:17not once since.
00:55:22Like, now I can't imagine
00:55:23a future without him.
00:55:24And I don't want to even try.
00:55:26There's still time
00:55:27if you want to run, Christy.
00:55:30You'll imagine.
00:55:32I'm just kidding.
00:55:33I'd punch you, you say no.
00:55:34I already told Vic I'd punch him.
00:55:38Shandell, Vic's sister,
00:55:39she's marrying us.
00:55:41Did you know that?
00:55:41Yes.
00:55:42I can't wait to meet his mom
00:55:43for the first time.
00:55:44I don't know, like,
00:55:45what I'm going to say.
00:55:46I don't know what she's going to say.
00:55:48I just want to see her
00:55:49and I want to hug her.
00:55:50You know, Vic's so incredible.
00:55:51Like, I know his mom's going to be too,
00:55:52and I'm really excited
00:55:54for her to be here.
00:55:57Oh, my God.
00:55:59Finally.
00:56:01That's so sad.
00:56:05You look so beautiful.
00:56:07Hey, dude.
00:56:08She's nice to meet you.
00:56:11Oh, my God.
00:56:16I'm really trying not to
00:56:17cry.
00:56:18I'm really trying.
00:56:20Oh, my goodness.
00:56:20It's lovely to see you.
00:56:22It's lovely to see you.
00:56:24You told me a lot about you.
00:56:28I'm so glad you could both make it.
00:56:30I know this is strange,
00:56:32like, meeting on the day of.
00:56:33I know.
00:56:34I was happy when he told me
00:56:35he felt so hard.
00:56:36He's happy.
00:56:37All right.
00:56:38I do know.
00:56:39If one thing I know my brother,
00:56:40and he's happy.
00:56:42Well, he makes me beyond happy.
00:56:44This is one of my best friends
00:56:46from college.
00:56:46Her name's Tori.
00:56:47Hey, Tori.
00:56:48My other best friend from college,
00:56:49this is Amani.
00:56:50Hey, Amani.
00:56:51How nice to meet you.
00:56:53She's actually my niece,
00:56:54but she's older than me,
00:56:55so I call her my sister,
00:56:57but this is Karina.
00:56:59So happy, Vic's from the life.
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.
00:57:10I'll let you read it in private,
00:57:12you know, as you wish,
00:57:13but that's a...
00:57:14Just a little note.
00:57:15I was like,
00:57:15I'm not going to have the words
00:57:16and the emotions
00:57:17to say it here in person.
00:57:18No, it's not really.
00:57:19Makeup, we do not want that.
00:57:20Let me see the arm 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 was like, what?
00:57:30You're an introvert.
00:57:31You know, it's funny, so am I.
00:57:33He thinks that I'm more extroverted
00:57:35than he is,
00:57:36and I was like, no, absolutely not.
00:57:37You're way more extroverted than I am.
00:57:39Did you guys ever think
00:57:40I would ever do anything like this?
00:57:42Not in a million years.
00:57:43I would have never saw this
00:57:44on Christine's bingo card.
00:57:46Well, when Victor told me,
00:57:47I was like, well,
00:57:48I was like, really?
00:57:50But when he makes up his mind
00:57:52to do something,
00:57:52I know he's taken the time
00:57:53to research it,
00:57:54so I was just like, okay, fine.
00:57:56Like me, I'm from New York,
00:57:58so I have a distressful demeanor,
00:58:00but I spoke to her,
00:58:02and I instantly liked her.
00:58:04She's genuine,
00:58:05and she came into this process
00:58:07wanting to find love,
00:58:08and she's found it.
00:58:10And I'm happy.
00:58:11I know he wants to find a wife.
00:58:14I'm happy for you all.
00:58:16Yes.
00:58:16I'm excited, and I'm happy.
00:58:18Me too.
00:58:19I'm happy you guys are happy.
00:58:21I'm happy.
00:58:21It excites me, didn't you?
00:58:23Go ahead and get ready,
00:58:25and we'll see you.
00:58:27Bye.
00:58:27I'm not as nervous anymore.
00:58:39Hi, guys.
00:58:41There she is.
00:58:43Oh, my gosh.
00:58:44You look gorgeous.
00:58:46You look gorgeous, baby.
00:58:50Are you feeling, are you good?
00:58:53You're not, yeah.
00:58:55I'm feeling more like a bride.
00:58:57I knew I was going to be a wife,
00:58:58you know what I mean?
00:58:59Mm-hmm.
00:59:00But I feel like a bride today,
00:59:01which 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 his sister came up, too,
00:59:09so I got to meet them both,
00:59:10and they got the chit-tat with everybody.
00:59:12Melody, can you believe it?
00:59:14It's so neat.
00:59:16I know, Tori.
00:59:18Are you getting nervous, too?
00:59:19I'm not nervous.
00:59:20I'm happy.
00:59:30Today's wedding day.
00:59:32The emotional connection
00:59:33Christine and I have,
00:59:34it's enough for a lifetime.
00:59:41I fell in love with Christine
00:59:43before I even saw her.
00:59:44I know Christine.
00:59:45Like, I know all the parts of her,
00:59:48and she knows all the parts of me.
00:59:50She called me her Build-A-Bear husband.
00:59:51I'm like, all right,
00:59:52you better put some patches
00:59:53on that Build-A-Bear,
00:59:54because, you know, I got scars,
00:59:55and I'm not perfect in any way,
00:59:57shape, or form.
00:59:58But that's the thing,
00:59:59is that her imperfections,
01:00:01my imperfections,
01:00:01we see beauty in it.
01:00:07I can't say what's in that box.
01:00:10I can't.
01:00:11It's between a husband and a wife.
01:00:17Hey, how about C?
01:00:18Where's the man of the house?
01:00:20Okay.

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