Transcript
00:00:02it's the morning after the last dinner party of the 2026 experiment and our couples are still
00:00:10processing the shocking exit of Gia and Scott who have left the experiment and will not continue to
00:00:17final vows I can unpack it in one word carnage I'm not sure what it is that you're looking for
00:00:24Gia but I can tell you're not the one for me we are a different caliber of people sorry but
00:00:32it was a
00:00:41pretty epic crash and burn yeah all she had to do was be honest be genuine and focus on their
00:00:49relationship but I didn't think they'd crash out that hard so all of that time and the commitment
00:00:55ceremonies that they could have had working on their relationship they if you were to spike up
00:01:02earlier they probably would have split up earlier because reality is Gia can't take any criticism
00:01:08she thinks every time it's her being thrown under the bus I did what I needed to do I got
00:01:14Gia to
00:01:14that dinner party on purpose got it there got them got them to have it out with each other I'm
00:01:22very
00:01:22proud of myself actually so you can play at that game honey I came into this experiment looking for a
00:01:34I definitely found what I've come here for after three intense months
00:01:43it all comes down to the final vows the four remaining couples must make the life-changing decision
00:01:56here we go will they take their relationship into the outside world
00:02:04or will they say goodbye forever I know this might be hard to hear
00:02:12the four
00:02:13one of the most magical moments the experiments ever seen
00:02:22Stella 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 Steven
00:03:02Beck and Danny it'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 relationship after the
00:03:19experiment there's so much shit here how did this happen the next time they meet they'll reveal their
00:03:27decision at final vows our couples must now go back to their respective homes to reflect on their time in
00:03:36the experiment before they make the life-changing decision on whether to remain as a couple or go their
00:03:43separate ways this time will prove testing for our couples as they will begin to question if their relationship is
00:03:50strong
00:03:50enough to continue when they leave the bubble of the experiment
00:03:58before everyone leaves their apartments
00:04:01they're reflecting on last night's final dinner party
00:04:04what about Dave and Alyssa that was hard to watch
00:04:07I saw a man coming in there
00:04:10being vulnerable and getting rejected
00:04:13multiple times it just doesn't sit well with me
00:04:16oh I'm hurt I'm hurt why why yeah he haven't said or done anything wrong it's a it's a rejection
00:04:23it's
00:04:23like she kept finding one little thing that just can be can be pinned on him and just like just
00:04:31focus
00:04:31on it like come on to take your ring off that is a red flag for me that to me
00:04:37is toxic I never once took
00:04:39my ring off yeah I think Alyssa's checked out it was a hard watch you know seeing him like that
00:04:45like
00:04:47he's actually really really hurt poor David is there desperately trying to win her back and Alyssa's
00:04:54like no I actually feel bad for David I think David's a good bloke I think he's wore his heart
00:05:02on his
00:05:02sleeve Alyssa's proven his point as to why he stayed quiet for so long because the second he spoke up
00:05:08look at how it's gone the poor bloke can't win it's a dictatorship it's not a relationship do you know
00:05:14what I think in time Alyssa might look back and regret that because David's a good bloke she's
00:05:18got herself a good bloke there and they're hard to cut they had to come across and she's just shutting
00:05:24him out for something pretty minor in my opinion it's a lonely last morning for David after the final
00:05:34dinner party Alyssa and David retired to separate apartments both spending their last night in the
00:05:41experiment alone today is such a sad day I'm moving out alone you know without my wife I'm devastated at
00:05:55where 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 for me he can come for me but he ain't coming for
00:06:16me
00:06:20far out man I just gave you my feelings and you said lighten up prime example that's just a joke
00:06:27it's
00:06:27all right but that's how I feel we're all just talking getting to know each other it was just
00:06:32you know chit chat we all had a great day now I deserve more than that I'm done too here
00:06:40go I'm done
00:06:46despite everything that's happened I believe in our relationship and I wanted to fight for it last night I
00:06:53put everything on the line unashamedly chasing her trying to get her back and show everyone that I
00:07:00wanted to fight for this relationship and I'm here because I want to fight for this I want you to
00:07:06know
00:07:06how much you mean to me I walked away from someone that was the love of my life I literally
00:07:10cannot walk
00:07:11walk away knowing that she's giving him nothing giving him nothing it's just sad that I felt like no
00:07:21matter how hard I fought she didn't want this I'm literally here because I love this woman I understand
00:07:28I understand but it's not too late it's only too late if you want to throw three months down the
00:07:32drain
00:07:33I feel like this dinner party's done honestly it's done
00:07:42Alyssa last night was someone I don't remember someone I don't recognize she was cold
00:07:48it felt like the relationship meant nothing to Alyssa like I mean nothing to her
00:07:56right now I'm questioning whether she ever wanted this to start with
00:08:00no I'm not gonna marry you until you get one down one ear and ask me to marry you
00:08:04I can't tell if you're being serious
00:08:07no I am so we're not doing the vows until until I get down
00:08:13Alyssa loves to be in control she loves to be in the driving seat and I was shut down
00:08:19I function at a high frequency and I feel like we're six weeks in I'm missing that stimulation that
00:08:27high frequency to make me happy I'm not more high-functional person than you your experience
00:08:34is your experience but someone on the outside listening in would could take it differently this
00:08:39is a meeting and I don't know why you're dragging yourself into it like I'm really not driving I'm
00:08:44just having the conversation this is a me thing babe she says she wants me to challenge her but when
00:08:49I do challenge her she doesn't like it looking back on it every time I challenged Alyssa she shut
00:08:55me down I can hardly get a word in talk to me I think it's like we need to voice
00:09:02we and that's
00:09:03what I need in this relationship and that's you're not fulfilling that need for me well all I'm gonna
00:09:08say is I should have gone there but we haven't and I haven't felt challenged enough well she has you
00:09:15did
00:09:16mention I was a weak man at one point she called you a weak man yeah so that's a problem
00:09:21what's
00:09:23happened in this relationship is I've done a lot of listening Alyssa has done a lot of talking we're
00:09:27both adults and I want to see that in her that she has the ability to listen I can't mind
00:09:32reading it's
00:09:33not mind reading oh my gosh I can't I cannot I know I can't mind read babe
00:09:40I can't even explain the hurt from last night you know getting to bed after that dinner party
00:09:45was the hardest thing that I've had to do this whole experiment just knowing and
00:09:50replaying 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
00:10:11I've woken up feeling much more relaxed and yeah I'm really looking forward to going home
00:10:19the day's finally arrived where we're moving out it's finished the experiment is officially done and
00:10:27dusted to see David take his ring off it really hurt me because in real life you don't do that
00:10:34like
00:10:34I've never once taken my ring off even though they might be little things they're big things for me
00:10:40yeah I came here for love and I was falling in love with this person and then my feelings have
00:10:46changed because of the events that have unfolded this week I know that he's sorry but yeah there's
00:10:52a lot to process before making this decision in a few days
00:10:58down the hall an emotional Rachel and Stephen are saying their goodbyes about to burst our little
00:11:06bubble babe
00:11:13knowing that I'm going back to Melbourne and we'll be walking into an empty apartment tonight
00:11:19it's just tough because Stephen's not going to be there and you know we are 900 kilometers apart that
00:11:25concerns me because long distance it's a hard one think of it as the next chapter starting I know
00:11:36goodbye
00:11:42this is it
00:11:42I know
00:11:46oh don't cry
00:11:56I'm really lucky to have been able to do this and I'm really lucky to have met Stephen
00:12:02yeah
00:12:04it's a couple of days
00:12:05it's so sad that we're saying goodbye we've built this little nest for ourselves and we've
00:12:11got to dismantle it and move apart and make a massive decision long distance is one of our
00:12:17biggest challenges going into final vows that's definitely considered I'm going to have some
00:12:22serious thinking to do oh you're shaking
00:12:25I know
00:12:27see you soon
00:12:28see you soon
00:12:30safe travels
00:12:31bye
00:12:31bye

00:12:35bye
00:12:36bye

00:12:39bye
00:12:41bye
00:12:51bye
00:12:51bye
00:12:52with the upcoming final vows weighing heavily on their minds
00:12:56Alyssa and David have headed home to contemplate their decision
00:13:01they'll spend the week apart reflecting on whether to continue their relationship outside
00:13:07the experiment or leave their marriages for good
00:13:10coming home to Brisbane solo it feels like a part of me has been taken away
00:13:16there is so much good there's so much light that has come out of this relationship
00:13:22but 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 back and knocked back
00:13:38this is one of the most uncertain places I've ever been in my life
00:13:44I do love and care for this woman deeply
00:13:47but 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 experiment
00:14:04David has been so supportive
00:14:06and I love that about him
00:14:10but the last couple of weeks has taken a turn for us
00:14:14the fact that as soon as he felt like it got hard he took his ring off
00:14:20I have to be able to see past this
00:14:22to be able to move forward into the real world
00:14:26and my guts telling me now
00:14:28like the little things are actually big things for me
00:14:31and they are deal breakers for me
00:14:34David being upset with that final test date was a big red flag for me
00:14:40taking your ring off at the first sight of a
00:14:43you know seeing me having a good time socialising with other people
00:14:47it's toxic
00:14:48and I was like nah
00:14:50in the bin
00:14:54if that moment didn't happen
00:14:58maybe our relationship would be in a way better place right now
00:15:02maybe I would be in love right now
00:15:05there's been a world of emotions lately
00:15:07and I know that he's willing to fight for me
00:15:10he got down on one knee for God's sake
00:15:11like put my ring back on my finger
00:15:15he's wanting this to work
00:15:19but I am feeling the pressure of pressure of that
00:15:34the moment has come for Alyssa and David
00:15:37to declare their feelings at final vows
00:15:52I came into this experiment hoping to find love
00:15:55I found love
00:15:56and I was hoping to leave here
00:15:57you know with a woman of my dreams
00:15:59and build a life and a family together
00:16:01and a future
00:16:01so this decision today
00:16:05will be the start of
00:16:06of the next stage
00:16:12I love Alyssa
00:16:13and my feelings haven't changed
00:16:14for Alyssa
00:16:17coming into this decision
00:16:18it's just finding that balance
00:16:19between my head and my heart
00:16:22and I also don't know
00:16:23what's going to happen to me
00:16:24when I'm there
00:16:24stood right in front of Alyssa
00:16:28I don't know how I'm going to feel
00:16:29so I'm a bit anxious
00:16:32I've put everything into this relationship
00:16:34I haven't held back
00:16:36I did fall in love
00:16:38when you love someone
00:16:39you can't just switch off your feelings
00:16:41that's the truth
00:16:52David has made his intentions clear
00:16:55that he wants to make this work
00:16:57in the outside world
00:16:58and that he does love me
00:17:00and he doesn't want to lose me
00:17:04so I feel like
00:17:05I feel like he will be committed
00:17:07to the cause
00:17:08and he'll want to see this through
00:17:09into the real world
00:17:13but
00:17:14today's going to be tough
00:17:15for David
00:17:21he missed the mark
00:17:22because
00:17:23he was a yes man
00:17:29he told me he loved me
00:17:31the ball is in my court today
00:17:41and
00:17:42he breaks my heart
00:17:44knowing that I'm going to
00:17:45be breaking his heart
00:17:47at the end of this

00:19:13wasn't just a bold woman
00:19:14making a big entrance
00:19:16but someone
00:19:17who clearly
00:19:18wanted commitment

00:19:27unapologetically
00:19:28yourself

00:19:36backed away
00:19:36from the challenges
00:19:37and our connection

00:19:39getting intimate
00:19:39and building trust
00:19:42and week by week

00:19:44we were just
00:19:44getting stronger
00:19:45and stronger
00:19:46you reminded me
00:19:47what it felt like
00:19:48to care again
00:19:49you broke down
00:19:50walls I didn't even
00:19:51realize that I built
00:19:52you made me laugh
00:19:54challenged me
00:19:56and you opened up
00:19:57my heart to love
00:20:02from the very beginning
00:20:03you told me
00:20:04that the moment
00:20:05a man tries to
00:20:06control you
00:20:07you run
00:20:08so I listened
00:20:10I did everything
00:20:11you said you wanted
00:20:12I gave you space
00:20:14I let you lead
00:20:16when you needed to
00:20:16and I never tried
00:20:18to change you
00:20:20but it was
00:20:21the final commitment
00:20:22ceremony
00:20:22where everything
00:20:23changed
00:20:25I finally spoke up
00:20:26I told you
00:20:27how at times
00:20:28I'd held back
00:20:28in this relationship
00:20:29not because
00:20:30I didn't care
00:20:31but because
00:20:32I was scared
00:20:32that being honest
00:20:33would push you
00:20:34further away
00:20:36you accused me
00:20:37of blindsiding you
00:20:38and in that moment
00:20:39I realized
00:20:40something important
00:20:41I wasn't being hurt
00:20:43you couldn't see
00:20:44that I wasn't
00:20:45attacking you
00:20:46I was finally
00:20:46standing up
00:20:47for myself
00:20:48it wasn't about
00:20:49proving a point
00:20:50it was about
00:20:52finding my voice
00:20:54despite your frustrations
00:20:56I still wanted
00:20:56to fight for us
00:20:58I vowed
00:20:59to let my walls down
00:21:00be vulnerable
00:21:02and express
00:21:03how I truly felt
00:21:07I told you
00:21:08that I loved you
00:21:11something I'd wanted
00:21:12to say
00:21:13for a very long time
00:21:15and although
00:21:16you couldn't
00:21:16say it back
00:21:17I left feeling
00:21:18confident
00:21:18that there was
00:21:19still hope for us
00:21:22watching you back
00:21:23on the final test
00:21:24without alternate matches
00:21:26you flirted
00:21:27made inappropriate jokes
00:21:29and spoke poorly
00:21:31about me
00:21:31behind my back
00:21:33I felt betrayed
00:21:34and disrespected
00:21:35by what I saw
00:21:37on our wedding day
00:21:38you stated that
00:21:39you wanted to be challenged
00:21:39in this relationship
00:21:40so that is what I did
00:21:42I challenged you
00:21:43and you shut me down
00:21:45it felt as though
00:21:47you wouldn't take
00:21:47any accountability
00:21:49for how I had felt
00:21:52we've had moments
00:21:54of laughter
00:21:54and deep affection
00:21:56but we've also had moments
00:21:58where I felt shut down
00:22:00controlled
00:22:00and unheard
00:22:03there have been times
00:22:04when I tried to express myself
00:22:05but was met with criticism
00:22:07or correction
00:22:08instead of curiosity
00:22:11what I've come to understand
00:22:13is that with you
00:22:14there was no version of me
00:22:16that could win
00:22:18if I pushed harder
00:22:19I would have been
00:22:20cold controlling
00:22:22if I held back
00:22:23I was labeled
00:22:24disconnected
00:22:26I've realized
00:22:27I can't be the man
00:22:28who constantly
00:22:29fights to be heard
00:22:30or to constantly
00:22:31fight to prove his worth
00:22:33to someone
00:22:33who is still deciding
00:22:34if I'll be enough
00:22:38throughout all this
00:22:39I've been patient
00:22:41and I've done
00:22:42a lot of the listening
00:22:45but I'm done listening
00:22:50so today
00:22:53I'm not walking away
00:22:54because I've stopped
00:22:56loving you Alyssa
00:22:59I'm walking away
00:23:01because loving you
00:23:03shouldn't mean
00:23:03losing myself
00:23:25you're not going to
00:23:25listen to my vows
00:23:33that's a name
00:23:39wow
00:23:39I just wasted
00:23:40three months
00:23:41of my life
00:23:41and he won't even
00:23:42listen to me
00:23:58David
00:24:00wow
00:24:01I can't believe
00:24:02we're here
00:24:03at the end
00:24:04of this experiment
00:24:06three months ago
00:24:08we were complete
00:24:09strangers
00:24:09standing at an altar
00:24:11saying I do
00:24:12the choice
00:24:13to walk away
00:24:13from final vows
00:24:14today for me
00:24:15was all about
00:24:16choosing myself
00:24:18in this relationship
00:24:19and making my voice heard
00:24:21so much of my voice heard
00:24:23so much of this relationship
00:24:23has been about Alyssa
00:24:25and me putting her first
00:24:26I owed it to myself
00:24:27I owed it to myself to make my voice heard
00:24:29because most of the relationship
00:24:31I was the one listening
00:24:34I feel like I put all my cards on the table
00:24:37and all I was wanting from Alyssa
00:24:39was some accountability
00:24:41some wanting to fight for this
00:24:44then came our homestays
00:24:47that's when the real world
00:24:48came crashing in
00:24:49the pressure of my home
00:24:51my business
00:24:52my cat
00:24:53my life in Adelaide
00:24:54and how I can't just pack up
00:24:56and leave
00:24:56in three months
00:24:57like we initially discussed
00:25:00you said you'd move
00:25:01that we'd make it work
00:25:02it sounded perfect
00:25:04but something in my heart
00:25:06felt off
00:25:09there's been so much pain
00:25:11pain that I've experienced
00:25:12the last two weeks
00:25:14you know
00:25:15you can't love someone
00:25:16and unfortunately
00:25:17sometimes
00:25:18they're not ready
00:25:20to let you in
00:25:22I feel tremendously heartbroken
00:25:24she knew I wanted her
00:25:26and still
00:25:27it felt like I was fighting
00:25:29for a relationship
00:25:31that someone
00:25:31wasn't willing to fight for
00:25:39David
00:25:40David you are everything
00:25:41I wanted and more
00:25:42you are strong
00:25:43you are kind
00:25:44you are compassionate
00:25:45you are a leader
00:25:46but standing here today
00:25:48I can only be honest
00:25:50I love you David
00:25:52for who you are
00:25:53but not for me
00:26:33in Melbourne
00:26:35Rachel has returned home
00:26:37where she will reflect
00:26:38on her relationship
00:26:39with Stephen
00:26:40ahead of the final vows
00:26:42being here at the end
00:26:43it's great
00:26:44it is a really nice feeling
00:26:45I feel really united
00:26:46with Stephen
00:26:47and there's this really
00:26:49nice closeness
00:26:50playful floatiness
00:26:51that we have
00:26:51in our relationship
00:26:53I feel like we're both
00:26:55as goofy as each other
00:26:56oh my god
00:26:57I might be good
00:26:58at this game
00:27:01yes yes
00:27:02better make sure
00:27:03that's done
00:27:06we have grown
00:27:07so much together
00:27:08and we have
00:27:08both been vulnerable
00:27:11I do like you
00:27:12and I have caught up
00:27:14in my feelings for you
00:27:18I've never had
00:27:19a deeply emotional
00:27:21connected relationship
00:27:23before
00:27:23and I've got one
00:27:27but Stephen
00:27:28can't leave Sydney
00:27:29because of his business
00:27:32we have grown
00:27:33together
00:27:33through this experiment
00:27:34but moving
00:27:36out of the bubble
00:27:37into the real world
00:27:38concerns me
00:27:39what are you scared of
00:27:41the most?
00:27:43I'm scared that Stephen
00:27:45will go back
00:27:45to his life
00:27:46in Sydney
00:27:48and it's just
00:27:49going to be easier
00:27:50for him
00:27:50to let me go
00:27:52because he is
00:27:53time poor
00:27:54and he has
00:27:54his business
00:27:56and so
00:27:57it might be
00:27:58a burden
00:28:00to try and
00:28:01maintain our
00:28:01relationship
00:28:02with me
00:28:02so he might
00:28:04just let me go
00:28:06so
00:28:08yeah
00:28:10that's
00:28:10that's my fear
00:28:14I am concerned
00:28:16that
00:28:16we're going
00:28:18back to our lives
00:28:19he might
00:28:20evaluate things
00:28:21and he might
00:28:22just see that
00:28:23as a
00:28:23well it's actually
00:28:24easier without you
00:28:25and
00:28:26his decision
00:28:27could be
00:28:29no thank you
00:28:31so
00:28:32yeah
00:28:32I am concerned
00:28:42in Sydney
00:28:44Stephen is looking
00:28:45back on his time
00:28:46in the experiment
00:28:47with Rachel
00:28:51despite sharing
00:28:52a strong
00:28:52emotional connection
00:28:54within the bubble
00:28:55of the experiment
00:28:56Stephen is
00:28:57contemplating
00:28:58if that bond
00:28:59is strong enough
00:28:59to last the distance
00:29:01in the outside world
00:29:04Rachel's
00:29:04patience
00:29:05and kindness
00:29:06and
00:29:07I've got to
00:29:08hand it to
00:29:09I feel like
00:29:09Rachel
00:29:09really
00:29:10saved the
00:29:11relationship
00:29:14reflecting on
00:29:15the relationship
00:29:16I haven't
00:29:17always been
00:29:18the greatest
00:29:19husband
00:29:21I don't
00:29:22remember getting
00:29:22a compliment
00:29:23from you
00:29:23on how I look
00:29:24today
00:29:25you do look
00:29:25gorgeous
00:29:26and I'm really
00:29:26sorry that I
00:29:27didn't say it
00:29:28when it mattered
00:29:29do you think
00:29:30Stephen is
00:29:31affectionate enough
00:29:36no
00:29:41we've had our
00:29:42ups
00:29:42we've had our
00:29:43downs
00:29:44there's a
00:29:45quite a large
00:29:45part of the
00:29:46relationship
00:29:46where I was
00:29:47sort of dragging
00:29:48the chain
00:29:48and
00:29:49my feelings
00:29:50started quite
00:29:51late for
00:29:51Rachel
00:29:52I look back
00:29:53at intimacy
00:29:54week
00:29:54and how I
00:29:55sort of
00:29:55rejected
00:29:55Rachel
00:29:56and one
00:29:56of the
00:29:56tasks
00:29:57there
00:30:01I can
00:30:02kiss you
00:30:02Rachel
00:30:04I'm not
00:30:04too sure
00:30:05if it's
00:30:05going to
00:30:05make you
00:30:05feel
00:30:06something
00:30:07I need
00:30:08to feel
00:30:08that romantic
00:30:09connection
00:30:10and unfortunately
00:30:11I haven't
00:30:12felt that
00:30:12romantic
00:30:12connection
00:30:13as of
00:30:13yet
00:30:20I've
00:30:21realised
00:30:21that
00:30:23I've
00:30:23just
00:30:23been
00:30:23a little
00:30:24bit
00:30:24lacking
00:30:24in the
00:30:25relationship
00:30:26wise
00:30:26I've
00:30:26probably
00:30:26just
00:30:27got to
00:30:27be a
00:30:27little
00:30:27bit
00:30:27more
00:30:27proactive
00:30:28in
00:30:28my
00:30:29emotions
00:30:33being
00:30:33away
00:30:33from
00:30:34Rachel
00:30:34I've
00:30:34realised
00:30:35that
00:30:35yeah
00:30:36I
00:30:36do
00:30:36have
00:30:36deep
00:30:36feelings
00:30:37for
00:30:37her
00:30:40but
00:30:41at the
00:30:41same
00:30:41time
00:30:41I guess
00:30:42my biggest
00:30:42fear
00:30:43is
00:30:43that
00:30:43I
00:30:44will
00:30:44not
00:30:44meet
00:30:45Rachel's
00:30:46expectations
00:30:47within
00:30:48our
00:30:48relationship
00:30:48in the
00:30:50real
00:30:50world
00:30:51there's
00:30:52a lot
00:30:52more
00:30:52other
00:30:52challenges
00:30:53outside
00:30:53the
00:30:54experiment
00:30:54Rachel's
00:30:55from Melbourne
00:30:56I'm from
00:30:56Sydney
00:30:57I've
00:30:57started
00:30:58a business
00:30:58here
00:30:58and
00:30:59fortunately
00:30:59for now
00:31:00I'm being
00:31:00a real
00:31:01pain in the
00:31:01arse
00:31:01and I'm
00:31:02saying to
00:31:02Rachel I
00:31:03can't
00:31:03move
00:31:03from Sydney
00:31:05when Rachel
00:31:06mentioned that
00:31:06she's going
00:31:07to move
00:31:07to Sydney
00:31:08I am
00:31:09worried that
00:31:09she might
00:31:10regret it
00:31:10later
00:31:11but I
00:31:12can see
00:31:12our future
00:31:13together
00:31:15but
00:31:15it will
00:31:16not excuse
00:31:18the feelings
00:31:19of
00:31:20doubt
00:31:20that I've
00:31:21got that
00:31:21we may
00:31:22not just
00:31:22make it
00:31:23because of
00:31:23these challenges
00:31:24that lie
00:31:24ahead of us
00:31:32after nearly
00:31:33three months
00:31:34in the

00:31:36the time
00:31:37has come
00:31:37for Rachel
00:31:38and Stephen
00:31:39to decide
00:31:41whether to
00:31:41continue their
00:31:42relationship
00:31:43outside the
00:31:44experiment
00:31:44or part ways
00:31:46forever

00:31:53a few
00:31:53hiccups
00:31:54along through

00:35:08oh my god
00:35:10wow
00:35:29I feel like let's get into it you ready all right as ready as I'm ever gonna be
00:35:40not gonna lie I'm a little bit nervous myself alright okay alrighty okay dear Stephen showing
00:35:51up to this experiment I had experienced hurt in the dating world never been the chosen one
00:35:57and always left wondering why I wasn't enough I came in knowing I'm not always easy I'm strong
00:36:03independent and sometimes emotional which meant I also had some learning to do but I was willing
00:36:12to do the work I showed up with an open heart and a deep hope that I might find real
00:36:18love I have my
00:36:20very own rom-com ending with a new leading man our journey hasn't been smooth sailing
00:36:30during the honeymoon I questioned your humor some jokes made me feel bad about myself
00:36:35I started questioning my self-worth ultimately I started to question our match
00:36:41affection was a big struggle intimacy week was one of the hardest moments in this experiment for us
00:36:52I bravely opened my heart in such a vulnerable way I felt exposed and rejected when you pulled away
00:36:59and didn't kiss me
00:37:06then at retreat when I was excited about our progress everything came crashing down
00:37:13and because of that I became emotionally raw unraveling in front of you
00:37:25but despite that you stuck around you supported me you didn't try to fix it you didn't walk away
00:37:33you simply stayed with me in that moment my feelings for you deepened
00:37:40I usually keep those parts me guarded covering the fears and hurt I carry to avoid being a burden to
00:37:46someone else because I have always believed that I might be too much to love the final test with our
00:37:55alternate matches made me anxious my insecurities of never being chosen began to resurface
00:38:05but you proved me wrong with your words and your loyalty it has been a slow burn
00:38:13but it's allowed something rare to grow between us a deep emotional connection one I've never had with a man
00:38:20before
00:38:22you've accepted me in ways I didn't know I needed
00:38:26from getting emotionally attached to our fish
00:38:29to singing the same line of a song on repeat
00:38:33you've never asked me to tone it down
00:38:35be less
00:38:37or shrink myself to fit beside you
00:38:40you've let me
00:38:41be me
00:38:43completely
00:38:44and that's all I've ever wanted
00:38:47I choose you Stephen
00:38:50no hesitation
00:38:51no holding back
00:38:55I want to walk out of this experiment hand in hand with you
00:38:59ready to keep building something messy
00:39:01something beautiful
00:39:02something real
00:39:04and entirely out
00:39:06I've never felt for anyone what I feel for you
00:39:10and even with all the fears that whisper
00:39:12in the background
00:39:14I want this
00:39:16I want you
00:39:17Stephen
00:39:31oh man
00:39:34I haven't missed that laugh though
00:39:37calms me down
00:39:38I love hearing it
00:39:40I'm glad it makes you calm
00:39:43here we go
00:39:46Rachel
00:39:47on our wedding day
00:39:48I turned around
00:39:49we locked eyes
00:39:51there was lots of laughter
00:39:54a lot of laughter
00:39:58but then the experiment kicked in
00:40:00and wow
00:40:01it's been one wild ride
00:40:04we had moments that felt like pure magic
00:40:07laughing until our cheeks hurt
00:40:09and discovering that we actually enjoy each other's weird
00:40:13messy chaotic selves
00:40:16those days were full of curiosity
00:40:18and exploring
00:40:19what it meant to be open
00:40:21vulnerable
00:40:22and willing to give this a real chance
00:40:27but of course
00:40:28not everything was easy
00:40:33I won't lie
00:40:34there have been moments in this experiment
00:40:36where I seriously questioned everything
00:40:38there were times where I spent nights lying away
00:40:41thinking
00:40:42can I really do this
00:40:45am I out of my debt
00:40:50when the experiment began
00:40:51I told myself I'd be open
00:40:53but the truth is
00:40:55old habits die hard
00:40:56I was holding back
00:41:03and afraid of not being enough
00:41:07but you challenged me
00:41:09I wasn't used to someone expecting more from me
00:41:12I remember the moment things shifted
00:41:14it was the way you looked at me
00:41:16when I finally let my guard drop
00:41:18the way you stood by me
00:41:20when I thought I didn't deserve it
00:41:22I stopped trying to protect myself
00:41:24from being hurt
00:41:25and holding back
00:41:26in fear of rejection
00:41:29you saw me
00:41:30you accepted me
00:41:33all of me
00:41:34Steve-o
00:41:36you've taught me that love isn't about perfection
00:41:39it's about being real
00:41:41coming into this experiment
00:41:43I had convinced myself that I was unlovable
00:41:46too stubborn
00:41:47too guarded
00:41:48and too complicated
00:41:49I had hope
00:41:51but I also found it hard to imagine
00:41:53anyone ever loving someone like me
00:41:58Rachel
00:41:59you really changed that for me
00:42:03you taught me that my heart wasn't broken
00:42:06it was just waiting for the right person to see it
00:42:08and that person is you Rachel
00:42:14so today
00:42:15I'm standing here to tell you
00:42:18that I choose you

00:45:42a sensitive soul
00:45:44see you later
00:45:48your face
00:45:49and that
00:45:51whilst we both were a bit out of our depth in this experiment at times
00:45:55the effort that he's put in and worked
00:45:58with me
00:45:59and us together on this relationship
00:46:01just shows that he's really serious about it
00:46:07what have you got in there
00:46:08dead body
00:46:11probably the last couple of weeks has been really really tough I'll be honest
00:46:15nearing the end of the experiment
00:46:16and I feel like pretty drained
00:46:19but look I wouldn't change it for the world
00:46:20it's been a once in a lifetime experience
00:46:22we've had some amazing times here
00:46:25we've had some horrendous times here
00:46:27we've gone through stress together
00:46:29happy times
00:46:30sad times
00:46:32tears
00:46:32everything together
00:46:33so it's been a roller coaster
00:46:35so to speak
00:46:36but we're here
00:46:37which is amazing
00:46:39you know
00:46:39I'm really going to cherish the next few days
00:46:42to actually sit down
00:46:45go for some long walks
00:46:46drink some coffee
00:46:48and see
00:46:49what's the right move for me
00:46:51moving forward you know
00:46:52I've got a
00:46:54business meeting to go to
00:46:56some bourbon massive tips
00:46:58well Daniel
00:47:00it just reminds you of the journey
00:47:02like three months ago we were strangers
00:47:05and today we're like
00:47:07like love has come up
00:47:09and I am obsessed with him
00:47:12I love him
00:47:15see you later
00:47:29after a few days apart
00:47:31Beck and Danny are reflecting on their relationship
00:47:35before they head to final vows
00:47:38I think Danny loves me
00:47:40I think he does
00:47:42I think that
00:47:43he is going to take this time away
00:47:47and realise
00:47:49that we make each other better people
00:47:52I think he does love me
00:47:53but I need to hear
00:47:55I need to hear it from him
00:47:56and I think final vows is the place
00:47:58I need to hear it
00:47:59I want to be loved
00:48:01and I want to be adored
00:48:02and I deserve it
00:48:03while Beck is crystal clear in her decision
00:48:07in his hometown of Melbourne
00:48:09Danny is not entirely convinced
00:48:11of the decision he'll be making
00:48:13about his future with Beck
00:48:14at the final vows ceremony
00:48:16I came here looking for the bonnet in my Clyde
00:48:19and Beck has characteristics
00:48:21what I'm looking for
00:48:22some of the best memories I've ever had in my life
00:48:25how do you feel about the words I wrote?
00:48:28I love what you wrote
00:48:29that's so cute
00:48:30but when me and Beck is very much like that
00:48:33it's very much up and down
00:48:34the hardest thing in the experiment
00:48:36has definitely been conflict
00:48:38one of the major doubts for me
00:48:41is when there's a problem
00:48:42which isn't even a big problem
00:48:44it can escalate into a big problem
00:48:46because I don't feel I can really talk to Beck
00:48:48sometimes I'm met with
00:48:50with like aggression
00:48:52and sometimes she can sort of
00:48:54get her back up pretty easily
00:48:56just take it on board
00:48:57I'm taking it on board
00:48:59and take what I'm saying
00:49:01thank you
00:49:02don't say thank you
00:49:04it's not about saying thank you
00:49:05but take what I'm saying
00:49:08as seriously
00:49:09stop saying thank you
00:49:12yeah I'm done
00:49:15it's fine
00:49:18this is what I mean
00:49:20yeah good luck for me
00:49:21for the rest of my getting crucified
00:49:25Daniel
00:49:25come and sit next to me
00:49:32Daniel
00:49:33stand here
00:49:34and look
00:49:34you know
00:49:36don't tell me what to do
00:49:38Beck does like drama
00:49:39she's been involved in a lot of drama
00:49:41with the group
00:49:42you've given me the egg
00:49:43if you can't read the situation accurately
00:49:45and you misinterpret words
00:49:47like that's not really on me
00:49:48that's on you
00:49:49oh honey
00:49:50you're the one that wrote them
00:49:51and read them
00:49:52it ain't me
00:49:53I'm reading them how you said them
00:49:55when we went to dinner party free
00:49:57and Beck went off at everyone
00:49:58I felt so uncomfortable
00:50:00I was embarrassed of her behaviour
00:50:02stare at me with your evil eyes
00:50:05Danny looks embarrassed
00:50:06because neither of you
00:50:08have got any friends here anymore
00:50:12and then trying to talk to her about it
00:50:14I had to be very careful with the word
00:50:16the way I was wording my words
00:50:18seeing her behave that way
00:50:20how did you feel
00:50:22it's a tough question to answer
00:50:23I'm scared of her
00:50:25I don't know
00:50:26just answer honestly
00:50:27were you proud?
00:50:28were you embarrassed?
00:50:30um
00:50:32you were what?
00:50:33maybe slightly embarrassed
00:50:34yeah
00:50:37we have been through
00:50:39hell and high water together
00:50:40we've had each other's backs
00:50:41there's been good points
00:50:43but there's also been some
00:50:44really really bad times
00:50:45so I have to sit down as a man
00:50:48assess
00:50:50if Beck's the right person for me
00:51:06I cannot believe
00:51:08that I've come into this experiment
00:51:09fallen in love
00:51:11and
00:51:12I'm standing here at final vows
00:51:15today could be absolutely
00:51:16life changing for me
00:51:17it could literally be the beginning
00:51:19of the rest of my life
00:51:34me and Beck get along so well
00:51:36we care about each other
00:51:42honestly I've given this experiment
00:51:44everything I've got
00:51:48but I do have to
00:51:49make the correct decision
00:51:51for my life
00:51:52and my future as well
00:52:18I am manifesting that it's going to be
00:52:21the best day ever
00:52:22and that I'm going to hear exactly
00:52:24what I hope to hear
00:52:25and
00:52:25we run off
00:52:27into the future together
00:52:30I love Danny
00:52:32even though we argue
00:52:34that doesn't diminish
00:52:35the feelings that I have for him
00:52:37we
00:52:38have overcome so many hurdles together
00:52:40and
00:52:42I can't imagine my life
00:52:43without him
00:52:44without him now
00:53:00oh my gosh

00:54:40with the enters the aisle
00:54:42I'll be honest
00:54:44here we go
00:54:45I didn't feel
00:54:46an instant spark
00:54:47I remember thinking
00:54:49you weren't quite my type
00:54:50and maybe even
00:54:51that you're a bit of
00:54:52a f***ing boy
00:54:55but as the days
00:54:56went on
00:54:57I started to see
00:54:58something different
00:54:58someone kind
00:54:59someone grounded
00:55:00and quietly protective
00:55:03our honeymoon
00:55:04we had moments
00:55:04of laughter
00:55:05connection
00:55:06and excitement
00:55:08when we moved
00:55:09into our apartment
00:55:10I felt hopeful
00:55:11it started to feel
00:55:12like we were building
00:55:13something real
00:55:13but then you told me
00:55:15we had low
00:55:16sexual chemistry
00:55:18but
00:55:19we chose our relationship
00:55:21and instead of
00:55:22running away
00:55:22we worked on it
00:55:23and tried to reconnect
00:55:24one kiss every morning
00:55:25and one kiss every night
00:55:29in intimacy week
00:55:30the fantasy night
00:55:31changed everything
00:55:32for the first time
00:55:33I felt like we truly
00:55:34connected emotionally
00:55:35physically and spiritually
00:55:36it was a moment
00:55:37I realised
00:55:38this wasn't just
00:55:39an experiment anymore
00:55:40it was something real
00:55:41and something worth
00:55:41fighting for
00:55:43of course
00:55:44it hasn't all been
00:55:44smooth sailing
00:55:45we've had our arguments
00:55:48at the third dinner party
00:55:50I let my emotions
00:55:51get the better of me
00:55:53and I could see
00:55:54the disappointment
00:55:54in your eyes
00:55:56when you said
00:55:57that I embarrassed you
00:55:58I was crushed
00:55:59because your opinion
00:56:00of me actually
00:56:01matters so much
00:56:04you are without a doubt
00:56:05the funniest man

00:57:56beg
00:57:58first and foremost
00:57:59I want to start off
00:58:00by saying
00:58:01how much of an honour
00:58:02it's been to do
00:58:02this crazy experiment
00:58:03with you
00:58:05I came on
00:58:06to this experiment
00:58:07looking for the
00:58:08Bonnie to my client
00:58:11our wedding day
00:58:12was beautiful
00:58:13we instantly
00:58:14seemed to get on
00:58:15shared the same
00:58:16sense of humour
00:58:17it put my mind
00:58:18at ease
00:58:20then we went
00:58:21to our honeymoon
00:58:21to beautiful Fiji
00:58:23it felt like
00:58:24the experts
00:58:25had found me
00:58:25someone who
00:58:26aligned with me
00:58:26in so many ways
00:58:27we could talk
00:58:28and laugh
00:58:29for hours
00:58:32it was also
00:58:33where we had
00:58:34our first
00:58:35stumbling block
00:58:35you accused me
00:58:36of looking at
00:58:37another woman
00:58:40I felt like
00:58:41you were seeking
00:58:42out a negative
00:58:44but I realised
00:58:45your insecurities
00:58:46were at play
00:58:46and realised
00:58:47how important
00:58:48it was
00:58:48to reassure you
00:58:50moving through
00:58:51the experiment
00:58:51we struggled
00:58:52aligning
00:58:52on intimacy
00:58:54it took me
00:58:54longer to find
00:58:55that spark
00:58:56but through that
00:58:57I was so proud
00:58:58of the way
00:58:58you and I
00:58:59dived headfirst
00:59:00into intimacy
00:59:00week
00:59:02and I have to say
00:59:03the night we
00:59:03painted each other's
00:59:04bodies was one
00:59:05of my favourite
00:59:05nights of the
00:59:06experiment
00:59:06it brought out
00:59:07an emotional
00:59:08side of me
00:59:09that I didn't
00:59:09even know
00:59:09was there
00:59:10and attraction
00:59:11grew
00:59:12I was so glad
00:59:13I stuck around
00:59:14and I thank you
00:59:15for that
00:59:18we spent the
00:59:19next few weeks
00:59:20really getting
00:59:21to know each
00:59:21other
00:59:21peeling back
00:59:22the layers
00:59:23laughing non-stop
00:59:24and feeling
00:59:25more and more
00:59:25comfortable
00:59:26around one another
00:59:27it started to feel
00:59:28like we were
00:59:28building something
00:59:29really special
00:59:32then at the
00:59:32third dinner party
00:59:33I saw a different
00:59:34side of you
00:59:36you were on the
00:59:37attack
00:59:37you were vulgar
00:59:39it seemed like
00:59:40you were seeking
00:59:41out drama
00:59:41I will admit
00:59:42I was embarrassed
00:59:44and uncomfortable
00:59:45I questioned
00:59:46everything
00:59:47and whether this
00:59:47was the relationship
00:59:48I wanted
00:59:50but still I chose
00:59:51to stand by your
00:59:52side
00:59:52I knew
00:59:53I knew that
00:59:53we had so many
00:59:54good qualities
00:59:54worth fighting
00:59:55for
00:59:57I was so proud
00:59:58of the way
00:59:59that you worked
01:00:00on yourself
01:00:00after that
01:00:01dinner party
01:00:01you were kind
01:00:02you were honest
01:00:03and you made
01:00:04a real effort
01:00:04to make amends
01:00:05with everyone
01:00:06in the group
01:00:06that you had hurt
01:00:09from there
01:00:09from there we went
01:00:10from strength
01:00:10to strength
01:00:11we had each
01:00:12other's backs
01:00:12and everything
01:00:13felt right
01:00:13you told me
01:00:14you loved me
01:00:15although I couldn't
01:00:16say it back
01:00:17in that moment
01:00:17it didn't scare
01:00:18me away
01:00:19it truly meant
01:00:20the world to me
01:00:20to hear how you
01:00:21were feeling
01:00:21in that moment
01:00:24going to Adelaide
01:00:25and seeing you
01:00:26in your home
01:00:26with your beautiful
01:00:27dog Coco
01:00:28showed me
01:00:29an even softer
01:00:30side of you
01:00:31I could see us
01:00:32living together
01:00:32in Adelaide
01:00:33as a couple
01:00:35it felt like
01:00:36everything was
01:00:37falling into place
01:00:38and I felt excited
01:00:39for what our
01:00:40future could be
01:00:43then on the
01:00:44final night
01:00:45in Adelaide
01:00:45I cracked a joke
01:00:46that landed wrong
01:00:49in hindsight
01:00:50perhaps I shouldn't
01:00:51have made that joke
01:00:51and for that
01:00:52I apologise again
01:00:53oh babe
01:00:54but you couldn't
01:00:55let it go
01:00:56rarely highlighted
01:00:57to me
01:00:57how our fight styles
01:00:59didn't align
01:01:01suddenly all of
01:01:02the good energy
01:01:03from Adelaide
01:01:04disappeared
01:01:04and put major
01:01:05doubts into my head
01:01:06as to whether
01:01:07the move to Adelaide
01:01:07would be smart
01:01:08because if these
01:01:09things were to happen
01:01:10outside the experiment
01:01:11it would make me feel
01:01:12more isolated than ever
01:01:15at the final task
01:01:16where we met
01:01:18our alternative matches
01:01:19I approached it
01:01:20in a respectful manner
01:01:21however
01:01:22when I watched
01:01:23the video back
01:01:24of you
01:01:24you ridiculed me
01:01:25for the shirt
01:01:26I was wearing
01:01:27and said that
01:01:28I'm not intimate
01:01:29enough with you
01:01:30in a vulgar way
01:01:31to a group of males
01:01:32that were strangers
01:01:35you told me
01:01:36after the task
01:01:37that Gia State
01:01:37basically forced you
01:01:38to take his number
01:01:39but watching the video
01:01:40back I saw that
01:01:41was a complete lie
01:01:45when I tried to
01:01:46bring this up
01:01:47with you
01:01:47in a calm
01:01:48and respectful manner
01:01:48I was met with
01:01:49conflict
01:01:50and you storming out
01:01:51it was a stark
01:01:52reminder that
01:01:53our fight styles
01:01:54don't match
01:01:55in important discussions
01:01:58I've always said
01:01:59that I want to start
01:02:00thinking about
01:02:00having kids soon
01:02:01and when I think
01:02:02of bringing kids
01:02:03into the world
01:02:04I want to bring kids
01:02:05into a stable relationship
01:02:06and a stable love
01:02:07and home
01:02:07the same as I had
01:02:09when I was a child
01:02:12stepping away
01:02:13from the experiment
01:02:14in the last week
01:02:14I rarely thought
01:02:15about how I felt
01:02:17having space
01:02:17on my own again
01:02:19and as much
01:02:20as it breaks
01:02:20my heart
01:02:21to say this
01:02:22I felt a weight
01:02:23come off my shoulders
01:02:25particularly at a time
01:02:26where I knew
01:02:27I should have been
01:02:27missing you
01:02:31I believe you can have
01:02:32multiple soulmates
01:02:33in life
01:02:34some who are
01:02:34your best friends
01:02:35and some who are

01:06:27that was f***ing brutal
01:06:30she actually took it
01:06:33the way she took it
01:06:34made it actually worse
01:06:38I'd have actually rather
01:06:39her got angry or something
01:06:40the way she actually took it
01:06:42made it worse
01:06:42because she actually took it
01:06:43like such a lady
01:06:46if she would have abused me
01:06:47and stuff
01:06:47it would have actually
01:06:48made it so much easier
01:06:49to be honest
01:06:50see like
01:06:51why couldn't she have been
01:06:52like that the whole way
01:06:52through the experiment
01:06:53and stay with her
01:06:55do you know what I mean
01:06:56that's what's so cooked
01:06:57about it
01:06:58like
01:06:58it would have been
01:06:59so much better
01:07:00if she just twatted me one
01:07:13look how flawlessly
01:07:14did she take that
01:07:15why couldn't she have
01:07:16just been like that
01:07:17the whole way
01:07:17through the experiment
01:07:18I'd be with the girl
01:07:20why's that other side
01:07:21got to be there
01:07:22because it's a side
01:07:22that I just can't have
01:07:35I've been blindsided
01:07:37I just didn't think
01:07:40it was going to go this way
01:07:42I just didn't
01:07:43you know

01:13:37at final vows
01:13:39Philip returns home
01:13:41to Melbourne
01:13:41I came into this experiment
01:13:44looking for love
01:13:45I definitely found
01:13:46what I've come here for
01:13:48I always thought
01:13:49that vulnerability
01:13:49was a weakness
01:13:50but every single time
01:13:52I've opened up
01:13:52whether it be in front
01:13:53of Stella
01:13:54or the experts
01:13:55I've always been rewarded
01:13:56with like a stronger bond
01:13:58with Stella
01:13:59I ask the question
01:14:00of like
01:14:00alright if we go
01:14:01outside the experiment
01:14:02how quick would you expect
01:14:03like a proposal
01:14:04or something like that
01:14:05just to like
01:14:05fully escalate things
01:14:06and Stella was just like
01:14:08ASAP
01:14:08so it's just kind of like
01:14:10I said the sooner the better
01:14:11the sooner the better
01:14:11this is the start
01:14:13of something
01:14:13pretty special
01:14:15I can't believe
01:14:16I'm walking out
01:14:17with the love of my life
01:14:18in Sydney
01:14:19Stella is counting down
01:14:21the minutes
01:14:21until the final vows ceremony
01:14:23as she looks back
01:14:25on her magical journey
01:14:26with Philip
01:14:27I asked the experts
01:14:29to be the love story
01:14:31and I got it
01:14:33my wish got granted
01:14:36quite early on
01:14:37I realised that
01:14:38I am forming strong feelings
01:14:39for Philip
01:14:41and I think the time
01:14:42and the guidance
01:14:44that we got
01:14:44from the experts
01:14:45we started to feel
01:14:46that pure unconditional love
01:14:48Philip I want you
01:14:50to turn to Stella
01:14:51and tell her
01:14:52how you feel
01:14:53you don't make me cry
01:14:56you 100% know
01:14:57that I am
01:14:58I am in love with you
01:14:59I know baby
01:15:00and that you shouldn't
01:15:01doubt anything
01:15:02the decision process
01:15:03for the final vows
01:15:05is non-existent for me
01:15:06I have very clear writing
01:15:07on the wall
01:15:08he's my man
01:15:09that's it
01:15:29of all decisions
01:15:30that I had to make
01:15:31in my life
01:15:31this seems seamless
01:15:34it doesn't cause me
01:15:35any stress
01:15:36any anxiety

01:15:50I am 100%
01:15:51in love with Stella

01:17:20day
01:17:22there was
01:17:23an instant spark
01:17:23a pull
01:17:24a sense of
01:17:25home that I
01:17:26couldn't

01:17:34deeper
01:17:35we became
01:17:36inseparable
01:17:37not because
01:17:37we had to

01:19:05greatest gift
01:19:06I came here
01:19:07to look for love
01:19:08and what I found
01:19:09was far more
01:19:10profound
01:19:10I found
01:19:11home in you
01:19:12and I cannot
01:19:13wait to build
01:19:14the rest of our
01:19:15life there

01:19:27Stella
01:19:27what a journey
01:19:29these last
01:19:30three months
01:19:30have been
01:19:32I never
01:19:32expected to
01:19:33fall in love
01:19:35I'd watch
01:19:36friends around
01:19:37me find it
01:19:37and thought
01:19:38maybe it was
01:19:39only reserved
01:19:39for other
01:19:40people
01:19:41but the moment
01:19:42I turned around
01:19:43on our wedding
01:19:43day and saw
01:19:44those piercing
01:19:44blue eyes
01:19:45that smile
01:19:46and your tiny
01:19:47shaking hands
01:19:48I knew my
01:19:49life was about
01:19:49to change
01:19:50your vows
01:19:51showed me
01:19:52your warmth
01:19:52kindness
01:19:53and heart
01:19:54from that
01:19:55moment
01:19:56I felt a
01:19:56connection
01:19:57that's only
01:19:57grown stronger
01:19:58with every
01:19:59day that's
01:19:59passed since
01:20:01on the
01:20:02honeymoon
01:20:02learning about
01:20:03each other
01:20:04sharing values
01:20:05and realising
01:20:06how naturally
01:20:07we fit
01:20:07it all confirmed
01:20:08that what we
01:20:09had was real
01:20:10but it hasn't
01:20:11been all smooth
01:20:12sailing
01:20:14I told you
01:20:15I loved you
01:20:16I'll never forget
01:20:17that simple
01:20:18perfect moment
01:20:19I hadn't said
01:20:20I loved you

01:20:21and I meant
01:20:21it with
01:20:22absolute

01:20:30I felt
01:20:31helpless
01:20:31unsure

01:20:33could do
01:20:33to convince
