00:00:00Phil, will you marry me?
00:00:03Yes!
00:00:05You'll get engaged, and then you'll finally see your fiancé for the very first time.
00:00:10Oh my god.
00:00:11You're so handsome.
00:00:12You're gorgeous.
00:00:14Seeing you, it literally makes it like a thousand times better.
00:00:17But this is just a chubby on top, to be honest.
00:00:20Up until now, your attraction's been based entirely in an emotional connection.
00:00:25Feels like we know you've been such a long time.
00:00:27Jeff, I can get you for this, Amber.
00:00:29Hopefully, you turn that emotional connection into a physical one.
00:00:33I feel like you've been a little distant.
00:00:34Sometimes I feel like I need to be in my nothing box.
00:00:38We haven't been intimate, and you know physical touch is, like, very important to me.
00:00:42Are you not attracted to me?
00:00:44Will looks, race, lifestyle, or insecurities tear them apart in the real world?
00:00:48Do you think we have a good physical connection?
00:00:50I do.
00:00:51I just don't know if it's, like, there for me.
00:00:53I don't like that you don't ever really tell me that I'm pretty,
00:00:56because I don't know if you're attracted to me.
00:00:57You're forcing me.
00:00:59Now I don't feel like it's genuine if I say anything.
00:01:01You both want children, right?
00:01:03For me, I am on the fence.
00:01:06We get married, and then we have a kid, and you resent that?
00:01:09I could never live with that.
00:01:11Do you still have a relationship with any of your ex?
00:01:13Yes.
00:01:14Saw her in Austin for a week.
00:01:16What was that dynamic when you visited her, then?
00:01:18I mean, we hooked up.
00:01:20I thought you were looking for a place in Austin.
00:01:28Have you got to meet her, Emma?
00:01:30No.
00:01:30I'm a little nervous.
00:01:32What if she doesn't like me?
00:01:33Because that's a scary thought.
00:01:36Am I ready to walk down the aisle?
00:01:38No.
00:01:40I know I've never felt like this in my life.
00:01:43I love you deeply, baby.
00:01:44Deeply.
00:01:46I 100% think you are the right mom.
00:01:49I feel like we're in a good place right now.
00:01:52I love you.
00:01:53Then you will be at your wedding, and there you will make the most important decision of
00:01:58your life.
00:01:59Now is the time to decide if love is blind.
00:02:03I can't see a future without you.
00:02:06That was a yes.
00:02:08Mike, do you take Emma to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:02:12If so, say, I do.
00:02:25Mike, do you take Emma to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:02:32If so, say, I do.
00:02:42Emma, I do.
00:02:44I do love you.
00:02:49Right now, I'm not ready to say I do.
00:02:56I want kids, and I want to know that you definitely 100% want to have a family with me.
00:03:03I don't want to say yes and jump into something, and then it changed down the road.
00:03:09And it's hard, because I, you know, I'm sorry.
00:03:26I do love it.
00:03:27I just want to be loved.
00:03:34I just want to be loved.
00:03:40Can you tell me I'm worthy or important?
00:03:44Am I working hard enough?
00:03:47Oh, I just want to be loved.
00:03:55I'm going to go check on her.
00:04:00I'm not ready to get married.
00:04:02We're not ready to get married.
00:04:03We're not ready to get married.
00:04:03We have a big thing with kids.
00:04:05Okay.
00:04:05It's 50-50.
00:04:06I want someone that's going to have a family.
00:04:08All right.
00:04:09I just couldn't say no.
00:04:12Like, I still, I love him.
00:04:16I'll be back.
00:04:24We love you, okay?
00:04:25We love you.
00:04:26All right.
00:04:33Hey.
00:04:35Oh, my God.
00:04:36My heart is beating so fast.
00:04:38There's a lot of emotions.
00:04:39Yeah.
00:04:39I know my son cares about your daughter.
00:04:42They are the same.
00:04:44I mean, he did say that the children were the issues they were trying to work out.
00:04:49But I was like, okay, as long as you're happy.
00:04:52It's bigger for Mike.
00:04:54That's a big thing.
00:04:55I get that, and I want him to have kids.
00:04:58And I'm not sure she's there.
00:04:59And she might get there.
00:05:01Okay.
00:05:01You know, she's not a no.
00:05:03But they still have to work their both.
00:05:05And she knows that.
00:05:06I want to get married, too.
00:05:08I know we have a lot to work through.
00:05:10Yeah.
00:05:10Um, but I, I see glimpses of a future.
00:05:15I see glimpses of a family.
00:05:17Like, I know you're going to be an amazing father.
00:05:20I wouldn't be here today if I didn't start seeing that.
00:05:27Sure.
00:05:28I understand that.
00:05:29Yeah.
00:05:31If we're going to be married, I want you to know that you want a family with me.
00:05:36Yeah.
00:05:36For sure.
00:05:37Yeah.
00:05:38I don't want it to be half-assed.
00:05:39I don't want it to be 50-50.
00:05:41I don't want it to be 90-10, whatever it may be.
00:05:4399-1.
00:05:44Yeah.
00:05:44I want it to be 100%.
00:05:45Yeah.
00:05:46And I want to be with someone that's 100%.
00:05:49Yeah.
00:05:49And you have your, your points, and you have your reasons, and I respect them.
00:05:54I respect you, no matter what.
00:05:56But I just can't say yes.
00:05:59Yeah.
00:05:59Without knowing that.
00:06:01Yeah.
00:06:01I'm sorry.
00:06:02I'm sorry.
00:06:06Love is a choice, and you choose to be with someone, you choose to make those decisions
00:06:10together.
00:06:11And for me, like, I can see a future with him, and I know I can get there.
00:06:17So I thought that would be enough, but I don't think that was enough for him.
00:06:24Yeah.
00:06:25So she did say yes.
00:06:26She is open to possibly having children, right?
00:06:29We knew that.
00:06:29But for me to say yes, I just wanted a little more assurance from her.
00:06:34Goddamn.
00:06:36Yeah.
00:06:40Obviously, we want to let our feelings make the decision for us at the altar, but I cannot
00:06:45say I do if I know the other person is not 100% with kids.
00:06:50If she would have said definitively, I will have kids with you, would that have changed
00:06:55your attitude?
00:06:55Yeah, I think it would have.
00:07:21So today is my wedding day.
00:07:23Today is starting to feel like a fairy tale.
00:07:25I definitely was losing hope in finding somebody like Jordan.
00:07:30Today's the day.
00:07:32It's crazy.
00:07:34Like, with the kid, who wants to just walk into that?
00:07:37The right person.
00:07:38Like, to actually find somebody that you fall in love with?
00:07:40That's pretty amazing.
00:07:42It's wild.
00:07:42Well, I was MF sighted yesterday.
00:07:44It was, like, really cute.
00:07:46She did a magic show for Jordan.
00:07:49A magic boss.
00:07:51That's adorable.
00:07:52I think you had fun.
00:07:53When your life is working, especially doing what you do, like, basically running a practice
00:07:58and then having your daughter, you don't really have the opportunity to meet.
00:08:02I'm usually just, like, meeting a guy on a Saturday and, like, not getting to know them,
00:08:06and, like, you just don't have the time.
00:08:08I mean, it was so, like, bad for so long.
00:08:11And all these, like, toxic relationships that you've been in.
00:08:13I'm going to cry, but, like, you've just come, like, so far.
00:08:17Yeah.
00:08:18There's been a lot.
00:08:19I'm, like, really proud of you.
00:08:21I know this wasn't easy.
00:08:23No, it was not.
00:08:25I feel like we worked so hard to get here.
00:08:27We had to meet my daughter's dad.
00:08:28He had to meet my daughter.
00:08:30There's a lot of stress with work.
00:08:32Traveling back and forth from Mount Vernon, you know, we had a few stress moments.
00:08:35But to get through everything, it's just been such a wild, crazy, and amazing ride.
00:08:40Do you feel confident in your decision that you're going to make today?
00:08:43Yeah.
00:08:44You do?
00:08:45Mm-hmm.
00:08:46I'm ready to marry Jordan.
00:08:47I am.
00:08:48You know, he's, like, a best friend to me.
00:08:50You know that we love you so much.
00:08:52No matter what happens, we're here for you.
00:08:55We love you.
00:08:57That's why I get here.
00:08:58And we're so proud of you.
00:08:59So my biggest fear is how Jordan feels.
00:09:01Like, if he's feeling a lot of pressure or anything.
00:09:04Like, I know it's, like, changing his life.
00:09:05And maybe he does kind of want to, like, run if that's his decision as well.
00:09:09So that's been kind of lingering on the back of my mind.
00:09:11But I just care about him a lot.
00:09:13So I don't want him to have those, like, feelings.
00:09:15I want this to be a good day for him as well.
00:09:17Oh, my gosh.
00:09:30I don't think I've ever loved somebody as much as I loved Amber and got the wedding
00:09:33today.
00:09:36I did not sleep great last night at all.
00:09:39Hey, it's been a lot of emotions.
00:09:42Jordan.
00:09:43What's up, guys?
00:09:44Hi.
00:09:44Oh, you look so nice.
00:09:46Thanks.
00:09:47Wow.
00:09:48This is cool.
00:09:49You look good.
00:09:50You guys are too.
00:09:51Jordan, you look wonderful.
00:09:52Nice you guys came in.
00:09:53You wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:09:55Appreciate it.
00:09:55How was the bachelor party?
00:09:57Me.
00:09:58That was super fun.
00:09:59We did the monster truck thing.
00:10:00You didn't get to drive them, though?
00:10:03No way.
00:10:04Your hair looks good, man.
00:10:05Thanks, dude.
00:10:05What are you guys sipping on here?
00:10:07Uh, PBR.
00:10:08Was that your request?
00:10:09Yeah, it's, yeah, it was my, my brewski of choice today.
00:10:12Is this your ring?
00:10:13Her wedding band.
00:10:14You got to meet Emma yesterday?
00:10:16Yeah, I finally got to meet her.
00:10:17Good.
00:10:18We had fun.
00:10:18Took her a little bit to warm up to me, but then.
00:10:20That's to be expected.
00:10:22Yeah, yeah, but she's, like, super sweet.
00:10:23Like, everybody always warms up to you.
00:10:25Yeah, I try.
00:10:26Emma tried to smother me with a pillow yesterday.
00:10:28Emma did?
00:10:29Yeah.
00:10:29Oh, well, you did hit it off, then.
00:10:31Yeah.
00:10:32That's a sign of love, that you know.
00:10:34Oh, boy.
00:10:35She's super pumped about the bar girl permission.
00:10:37Oh, my God.
00:10:38That's a huge deal.
00:10:40She's got a cute little dress, probably.
00:10:42Yeah, she's pretty global.
00:10:44Was she, like, a little mini version of Amber?
00:10:46Definitely had some sass, for sure.
00:10:48And what do you guys think about all this?
00:10:51It's crazy.
00:10:52It's wild.
00:10:52Yeah, it sure is.
00:10:54Did you say you have got to talk to her today?
00:10:56Oh, we texted for, like, two seconds this morning.
00:10:59That was it.
00:11:01She's probably having some jitters.
00:11:03Oh, yeah.
00:11:03It's a big day.
00:11:04Yeah.
00:11:05I mean, we were just talking through, like, you know, some, some, some, like, things that are
00:11:09still out there.
00:11:10Like, if Amber wants to relocate to Columbus, like, I was just going to have to look for
00:11:14new schools for, for Emma.
00:11:16Her and Matt both live in Mount Vernon.
00:11:18Oh, yeah.
00:11:19But it's not that far away.
00:11:21Yeah, but for him to have to, like, commute, you know, an hour.
00:11:25To take her to school.
00:11:26To take her to school in the morning.
00:11:27It's an hour?
00:11:27Yeah.
00:11:28Have you guys talked about relocating there?
00:11:30I do not want to move to Mount Vernon.
00:11:32And we were pretty clear about that from day one of the pods that I'm not trying to move
00:11:36out there.
00:11:37Maybe, like, the city life.
00:11:39I mean, I want to go to, like, concerts and bars and restaurants and sporting events.
00:11:43Is there somewhere in, like, the outskirts that you could be, like, in between?
00:11:47Well, I had brought up, well, her brother lives in German Village.
00:11:49That's, that's an awesome neighborhood.
00:11:51If we could find something, that'd be, that'd be cool.
00:11:52That's where she would like to go.
00:11:55Compromise, man.
00:11:56The way the, the way it goes.
00:11:58Just have a little nerves is all.
00:12:01You'll be fine.
00:12:02You tell him nervous?
00:12:03No, he looked very calm.
00:12:05Yeah.
00:12:05Nerve-wracking for sure.
00:12:07Yeah.
00:12:09Yeah, I just feel bad he's so nervous.
00:12:12Yeah, well, that's the way you are when you get married.
00:12:14It's nerve-wracking.
00:12:16I'm not worried.
00:12:20You can see their net.
00:12:21Just over here.
00:12:24We're proud of you.
00:12:25Thanks.
00:12:26Yeah.
00:12:26You've gone on an adventure none of us have done, and...
00:12:29Yeah, you really put yourself out there.
00:12:30Yeah.
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:33Hard to believe, honestly.
00:12:35I don't think I've ever put so much into a relationship before, so...
00:12:39Yeah.
00:12:39That's the way it's supposed to be.
00:12:40It's meant to be.
00:12:41It'll be...
00:12:44You're excited for you.
00:12:46Thanks.
00:12:48You ready?
00:12:51Definitely, you know, got some nerves, but this helped.
00:12:54It's a happiness, whatever happens today, Jordan.
00:12:56Today and forever.
00:12:58Appreciate you guys.
00:12:59Love ya.
00:13:00Love you.
00:13:01Love you too.
00:13:13See you over there.
00:13:15Oh, boy.
00:13:29Oh, my God.
00:13:30Don't cry.
00:13:31Oh, my God.
00:13:32Amber.
00:13:33You look beautiful.
00:13:35Oh, my God.
00:13:36Oh, my God.
00:13:37Oh, my God.
00:13:39Oh, my God.
00:13:42Oh, my God.
00:13:44I like this a lot.
00:13:53You look so amazing.
00:13:55Oh, my God.
00:14:03Oh, my gosh.
00:14:04I love it.
00:14:05Jordan's gonna lose his shit.
00:14:06He better.
00:14:09Oh, my gosh.
00:14:11Hi, baby.
00:14:14Oh, he was just a lot.
00:14:19It's good to see you.
00:14:20Good to see you.
00:14:21Oh, my gosh.
00:14:22It's so exciting.
00:14:23I know.
00:14:25Oh, my God.
00:14:28What do you think?
00:14:29What do you think, Emma?
00:14:30You love it?
00:14:31Yeah.
00:14:31Have you been having fun?
00:14:33You need to turn around.
00:14:34Oh, my.
00:14:36Emma, come here and look in the mirror.
00:14:37I want to see you in the mirror.
00:14:38Let's look at us.
00:14:40You look pretty, too.
00:14:41You look like the perfect flower princess.
00:14:43Gorgeous.
00:14:45What do you think?
00:14:46Are you nervous?
00:14:50I will say for the longest time,
00:14:52I have always wanted to see you get married, so this is...
00:14:54You didn't think I was.
00:14:55I didn't think so.
00:14:56You didn't think I was.
00:14:57Okay, so be honest.
00:14:58I always felt like you were very, like, independent.
00:15:01Yeah.
00:15:01Like, you were just, like...
00:15:02I didn't think you would...
00:15:02I felt like if you were going to get tied down,
00:15:04it would be something that would happen maybe, like, way later.
00:15:07Like, something when you were, like...
00:15:0850?
00:15:09Yeah, like, 40s or 50s, yeah.
00:15:11I think you'd get tied down around then, so...
00:15:12Well, you have to put it on the other hand, Emma.
00:15:16Well, that's too bad.
00:15:17Let me put some chapstick on you real quick.
00:15:23Be back.
00:15:24Aw, are you gonna help fix my dress?
00:15:29Wow.
00:15:30Bye, my little baby.
00:15:32I love you so much.
00:15:33I can't even believe this.
00:15:37Here, come here.
00:15:40I love you.
00:15:42I'm your best friend.
00:15:43And I love you.
00:15:45And thank you for going through life with me.
00:15:50Oh, my goodness.
00:15:51I love you.
00:15:53I love you so much.
00:15:54You are so beautiful.
00:15:56I'm so glad you guys came out.
00:15:58Oh, my God.
00:15:59I wouldn't have missed this.
00:16:00Wouldn't have missed it.
00:16:01It is a lot to ask somebody
00:16:03to bring another human into a relationship.
00:16:07It's a beautiful dress.
00:16:08I'll see you here in a little bit.
00:16:09But I would love for Jordan's heart to say yes.
00:16:12Yeah, this is our life.
00:16:14This is our life.
00:16:16We're living good life.
00:16:18Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:16:27Oh, man, I'm freaking out right now.
00:16:33Okay.
00:16:43Oh, my God.
00:16:58Everybody's here for you.
00:16:59Okay.
00:17:03She's a wonderful person.
00:17:05I just met Emma.
00:17:07She's a wonderful girl.
00:17:09Look at this.
00:17:11It's okay.
00:17:12We good?
00:17:14Yeah.
00:17:17It's okay.
00:17:20Just breathe and close your heart.
00:17:25We love you, no matter what you decide.
00:17:27We're all with you.
00:17:29We love you so much.
00:17:30You make us so proud.
00:17:35Bye.
00:18:03I just want you to know that, of course, I support you.
00:18:05I think that Jordan is a good guy.
00:18:09Sounds to me like he really likes you.
00:18:11I fucking have.
00:18:12Yeah.
00:18:13Is that me and better?
00:18:14Yeah, honestly.
00:18:16Like.
00:18:17You know, it's a big decision, of course, getting married, whether you guys go through with it or not.
00:18:20I'm personally expecting this not to go through, just because I think that, you know, maybe he wants more time.
00:18:31So, I will say, if you guys both say yes, it will genuinely be a huge shock to me.
00:18:35In a good way, you know, I would say in a good way.
00:18:40For me, it's a yes, but that's, like, a lot to ask for him.
00:18:46I'm understanding either way, though.
00:18:49I will say this.
00:18:52To the day I died, I think that you deserve the best.
00:18:56And.
00:18:57Aww.
00:18:58Woo-hoo.
00:19:02Everything's coming.
00:19:04Ends with you.
00:19:06Start of it all.
00:19:09Soap and new.
00:19:22You're all pretty, girl.
00:19:24Good job, Amanda Curry.
00:19:25This is just you.
00:19:59You're so pretty.
00:20:00Mm-hmm.
00:20:07Is he filming?
00:20:09Yes.
00:20:11Oh, sorry.
00:20:13All right.
00:20:15I love you.
00:20:17It looks so good.
00:20:23Sweet.
00:20:25I love this time.
00:20:27Thanks.
00:20:27It's the second green broth today.
00:20:30Please be seated.
00:20:36We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Amber and Jordan.
00:20:41Love is the foundation upon which we build our lives.
00:20:45Love brings people together, strengthens them in times of hardship, and fills life with meaning and joy.
00:20:53Amber and Jordan stand before us, ready to take the next step in this extraordinary journey of love.
00:21:05Jordan made me a better person, honestly.
00:21:08He always has a positive attitude.
00:21:10He's always looking to make the best out of the situation.
00:21:13He is always looking to say hi to the stranger.
00:21:15He made, like, seven airport friends over a CPAP.
00:21:19Like, he's starting a CPAP club, actually.
00:21:23I bet he was interested in joining.
00:21:28He is just, like, that positive of a person.
00:21:30I can sometimes be such, like, a go-getter.
00:21:33I'm, like, always trying to do everything.
00:21:34And he makes me step back and realize, like, what truly matters in life.
00:21:46Amber, we both put so much effort and love into this.
00:21:52I'm glad that it's you up here.
00:22:03Amber and Jordan, you chose to get engaged and spend the rest of your lives together based on a deep
00:22:09emotional connection.
00:22:15Now is the time to decide if love is blind.
00:22:26Will you get married and commit to face life together as husband and wife, or will you walk away forever?
00:22:39Amber, do you take Jordan to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:22:42Do you solemnly vow to be his faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad,
00:22:49and in joy as well as in sorrow?
00:22:51Do you promise to love him unconditionally, to honor and respect him, to laugh with him and cry with him,
00:22:58and to cherish him as long as you both shall live?
00:23:02If so, say, I do.
00:23:12I do.
00:23:15But I understand if there's any doubts.
00:23:19But I have a lot going on.
00:23:27Jordan, do you take Amber to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:23:31Do you solemnly vow to be her faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad?
00:23:37Do you promise to love her unconditionally, to honor and respect her, and to cherish her as long as you
00:23:43both shall live?
00:23:45If so, say, I do.
00:24:08I want to follow my heart and say that I do.
00:24:12So your answer is?
00:24:13I do.
00:24:20I do.
00:24:24I do.
00:24:24Oh my God!
00:24:28I do.
00:24:36I love you!
00:24:38I do very certain.
00:24:41Yeah.
00:24:44Jordan, you may kiss your bride.
00:24:46Oh my gosh!
00:24:47Oh my gosh!
00:24:49Oh my gosh!
00:24:52Oh my gosh!
00:24:56Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan and Amber Faye.
00:25:10That's crazy.
00:25:11My sister told me, you know, just follow your heart, you know.
00:25:16So I did.
00:25:19I was fully expecting him to not be ready for this.
00:25:22Like, I was not expecting that at all.
00:25:26One of the best moments of my life as well.
00:25:28That's crazy.
00:25:32At least you're a mine person.
00:25:34You're mine too.
00:25:37Alright.
00:25:38This has been fun.
00:25:43Thanks, I guess.
00:25:45Yeah.
00:25:49Cheers.
00:25:50Cheers.
00:25:52Cheers.
00:25:56Cheers.
00:26:00Cheers.
00:26:03Cheers.
00:26:03Cheers.
00:26:16Take your time.
00:26:19I love you.
00:26:20I see a life with you.
00:26:21You know, I have the dress, the nails, the lashes,
00:26:23all the things, like, ready to be married.
00:26:26I want to be your wife.
00:26:28I'm shocked that I'm not actually getting married
00:26:30even though I'm supposed to get married.
00:26:32Yeah.
00:26:32Like, both of my parents, they were so excited
00:26:35that everything that I've always wanted was happening.
00:26:38Today was supposed to be our wedding day,
00:26:42but it's not.
00:26:45And it was kind of shocking.
00:26:48My parents, they know how much I want to be married.
00:26:51I have family coming in town,
00:26:53and they were all here to celebrate us.
00:26:57But right now, I feel like everything that I want
00:27:00isn't happening right now.
00:27:02Everything is, like, great, like, between us,
00:27:05but I was just like, I can't walk into a marriage
00:27:07with, like, self-doubt of, can I love you
00:27:10how you need to be loved?
00:27:11I think that's why I couldn't get to the altar.
00:27:14I just can't do it.
00:27:15I can see my life being with you 100%.
00:27:20I can't get married right now.
00:27:22Even though it's not right now,
00:27:24it doesn't mean that it's not going to be eventually.
00:27:27I feel like we're still together,
00:27:29and we're just taking a slight pause
00:27:32on when we actually get married.
00:27:35I think when it comes to, like, you feeling more comfortable
00:27:38with a prenup, for me, like, say we would have gotten married today,
00:27:45I was willing to make adjustments to what I believe.
00:27:51Yeah, right, yeah.
00:27:54We're still going to be together.
00:27:55We're still engaged.
00:27:56I do see 100%, like, marrying each other.
00:28:00Our story's not over, whether that's marriage now or marriage later.
00:28:05We are going to be husband and wife one day,
00:28:09then hopefully have babies right after we get married.
00:28:12After the initial, like, shock of it all,
00:28:15of, like, okay, I'm not getting married,
00:28:17it was like, okay, I'm not getting married,
00:28:19but now what does our life look like?
00:28:22Like, where do we go from here?
00:28:23I'm not a fortune teller, so I don't know.
00:28:26There's still doubts that I have,
00:28:27but it's like, I don't know the answer.
00:28:30I don't know.
00:28:30Only time will tell.
00:28:31Yeah, and I'm like, I don't know what the future holds.
00:28:34I don't, like, if I did, like, life would be different,
00:28:37but my doubts moving forward in the relationship,
00:28:41what does it look like?
00:28:42You're not going to just date someone to date.
00:28:44Like, I'm not going to date someone just to date.
00:28:46Like, I'm dating to get married.
00:28:48Like, I'm engaged to get married.
00:28:50So it's like, these are the doubts that, like,
00:28:52for me need to, like, kind of clear my head
00:28:54to, like, be able to move forward.
00:28:56Yeah.
00:28:57Today was supposed to be our wedding day.
00:28:59She was ready for marriage,
00:29:01but there was always doubt in my head.
00:29:03There were certain things that kind of struck me,
00:29:06like, you know, when she mentioned that
00:29:08she had pre-bought a wedding dress,
00:29:10having the dress pre-bought was something
00:29:12that really threw me.
00:29:13I was like, were you going to get married
00:29:14regardless if it was me?
00:29:16Of course I want to be his bride,
00:29:17especially, like, when we went and did
00:29:19the wedding dress shopping,
00:29:20and, like, I put my dress on
00:29:22that I picked out before we came here.
00:29:24I think that he would love this dress
00:29:27because I think this dress would make him
00:29:29see my natural beauty.
00:29:31Yeah, I got to go apart.
00:29:35Well, it's not our wedding day.
00:29:37We can pick our wedding day.
00:29:38Yeah.
00:29:39I'm 99% sure I'm going to get married to Devante.
00:29:43We are supposed to be married.
00:29:45I do see myself marrying him.
00:29:47I feel like he is my person.
00:29:49Is she my forever person?
00:29:50The more I'm, like, clinged on to
00:29:52or the more I'm, like, pressured to do something,
00:29:54the, like, harder that I push back.
00:29:56She is sometimes like a shadow to me,
00:29:58and I'm just like, sometimes I'm like,
00:30:00just wait out there.
00:30:01I'll be right back.
00:30:02I'm just going to change my shirt.
00:30:04It's something I don't want to keep dragging
00:30:05down the road if it's, like,
00:30:07it's not going to work out.
00:30:09Oh, I need to go.
00:30:11She goes, we will be in touch.
00:30:16We will be in touch.
00:30:19I can't stand you.
00:30:20Two years ago, I would have been so nervous
00:30:22to have that conversation with her.
00:30:24I would have just got married and figured, like,
00:30:27I probably would have, like, swept it all over the rug,
00:30:29had resentment, and, like, you know,
00:30:30probably figured out how to get a divorce,
00:30:32like, the easiest way possible.
00:30:33I've had moments where I've felt naive
00:30:35of feeling like my feelings are stronger than him
00:30:39and wondering, like,
00:30:40if he's just going through the motions.
00:30:42Like, is this why I have not met your mom in person?
00:30:45Is, do you still feel the same exact way
00:30:47that you felt about me in the pot?
00:30:50Like, am I the person that you fell in love with?
00:30:54I think what I'm most fearful of
00:30:56is having to start all over.
00:30:58If for some reason we don't work,
00:31:00I'm fearful to have to be vulnerable
00:31:04with somebody else all over again.
00:31:09Because it was really hard to do it in this instance,
00:31:13but it paid off.
00:31:15Because now I have the love of my life,
00:31:18my person, my best friend,
00:31:20that I hope to be my best friend again one day.
00:31:22But we just need to get back to all of those feelings
00:31:26of why we fell in love and why we chose each other.
00:31:30I do think Devontae will end up being my husband.
00:31:32We're not saying no to each other.
00:31:34We're just saying not right now.
00:31:36It would have been hard for me to go through today
00:31:41knowing that we aren't getting married.
00:31:43Like, if it wasn't 100% yes,
00:31:45that I didn't want to have, like, a wedding.
00:31:48If I never forget you
00:31:50Then you will always be by my side
00:31:53From the day that I met you
00:31:56Till the day I die
00:32:00It starts right here
00:32:06It starts right here
00:32:09It's my wedding day.
00:32:11It's the biggest day that I've had in my life so far.
00:32:13I've been second best a lot of times.
00:32:17You know, I've been cheated on, I've been lied to,
00:32:19and fell in love with Alex because he was so confident
00:32:21in his decision to choose me.
00:32:23Take a deep breath in
00:32:25Won't change my mind
00:32:27Love is choosing someone every single day.
00:32:31Waking up and just being 100% confident
00:32:33in your decision to be with that person,
00:32:35to make them your wife, to be their husband.
00:32:37And I just remember being all in
00:32:39and telling my dad, like, I met the man of my dreams.
00:32:41And I've been crying so much, too.
00:32:43Like, I get so emotional.
00:32:44I don't know why.
00:32:44I'm, like, not the emotional type.
00:32:46It's almost like it's my wedding day.
00:32:48It's a crazy time in my life.
00:32:50Did you talk to Alex last night?
00:32:51We talked a little bit.
00:32:53Yeah?
00:32:53We're supposed to be separated.
00:32:54I don't think he realizes, like,
00:32:58how strong it probably does really make him
00:33:01to live the childhood he lived,
00:33:02to have the adult life that he had.
00:33:06You know, his dreams were taken away from him.
00:33:07He had trouble in his childhood with, you know,
00:33:10stepfathers, fathers, whatever it was.
00:33:12I had such a different life.
00:33:14Hi!
00:33:15Hi, girls!
00:33:16Hi, baby!
00:33:18I have lived a very stable life
00:33:20with a great family.
00:33:23And he has not.
00:33:24But I think that will make him
00:33:25not only a great husband,
00:33:27but a great father.
00:33:30So, yeah.
00:33:31That's what makes Alex so special.
00:33:33It's insane that one person,
00:33:36after such a short period of time,
00:33:37can make you feel all these emotions
00:33:40all at once.
00:33:41Ash, did you ever think
00:33:43you would get to this moment?
00:33:44No.
00:33:45I am the bride.
00:33:46The bride!
00:33:47I'm the bride.
00:33:49Brine.
00:33:50I can't believe it.
00:34:00I think Ashley makes a phenomenal life
00:34:03in a number of ways.
00:34:04Just the confidence that she has.
00:34:05She meets every single thing
00:34:07that I can want checked in a box
00:34:09or whatever,
00:34:10emotionally, without a doubt.
00:34:11And the physical is fantastic.
00:34:12She's a beautiful woman as well.
00:34:14So, I think she's a top-tier partner
00:34:16when it comes to, you know,
00:34:17choosing a life.
00:34:21Are you nervous to walk down the winning aisle?
00:34:23No.
00:34:24I mean, you play Division I soccer,
00:34:26you know what I'm talking about.
00:34:26You walk out like the crowd's there.
00:34:28In front of 5,000 people.
00:34:28You're used to that.
00:34:29You're used to that.
00:34:30I am ready to marry Ashley.
00:34:31And the fact that I'm able to stay cool,
00:34:32calm, and collected on a day like this,
00:34:33with high kind of stakes as well,
00:34:35it's like a penalty shootout.
00:34:36With everything on the line,
00:34:38there's no pressure on the goalkeeper ever
00:34:39because they're supposed to score.
00:34:40I, as a goalkeeper,
00:34:42felt very, very confident
00:34:42in, you know, making saves at that point.
00:34:45You kind of walk around
00:34:45with your shoulders out
00:34:47ready to, you know,
00:34:47make the save that you need to.
00:34:48And at the moment,
00:34:49that's kind of what this feels like today.
00:34:50Big stakes.
00:34:51You decide the game today.
00:34:52It's not that I'm emotionally numb
00:34:54or anything like that.
00:34:55It's more, I've been here before.
00:34:56I do feel confident
00:34:57in what I bring to the table
00:34:58and I'm happy to show it.
00:34:59Tell me about Ashley.
00:35:00I don't know Ashley at all.
00:35:01Oh, yeah, you got to meet her at some point.
00:35:03I think I'll meet her today.
00:35:04I think so.
00:35:06No, she's a great girl.
00:35:07Great girl.
00:35:07We align on everything
00:35:10from politics to sense of humor.
00:35:12I don't know.
00:35:12She's a phenomenal person.
00:35:13Great partner.
00:35:14What kind of family does she come from?
00:35:15Older brother.
00:35:17And then her father was
00:35:18definitely extroverted for sure.
00:35:20You said he's a divorce attorney?
00:35:21Yeah, dude, that was nuts.
00:35:22That's why the family to marry.
00:35:24Yeah, I was insane.
00:35:25That's where you were.
00:35:25You got grilled, I'm sure.
00:35:27I did.
00:35:27I did.
00:35:28So, like, I day trade, obviously,
00:35:30and, like,
00:35:31I know the Australian dollar.
00:35:32We were talking about crypto
00:35:33for a little bit.
00:35:34Yeah.
00:35:35He'll start talking about something else.
00:35:36And then randomly,
00:35:37they'll just be like,
00:35:38all right, so what's the price
00:35:38of crypto right now?
00:35:39I'm like, I don't trade that
00:35:41first off.
00:35:41Off the top of my head.
00:35:42Yeah.
00:35:42Like, what?
00:35:43You know, I don't really think
00:35:45I have any fears at the moment.
00:35:46I mean, outside of maybe
00:35:47sharks in the water,
00:35:48but that's, you know,
00:35:49I think pretty normal.
00:35:51What's up, boys?
00:35:51Who's sexy?
00:35:54Rip one sleeve off
00:35:55and show off the arm.
00:35:55I would love to.
00:35:57That would do it.
00:35:58Oh, my God.
00:36:00Gracias, chico.
00:36:07Hi.
00:36:09Wow.
00:36:12You sparkly?
00:36:13Are you sparkly?
00:36:14Can you get me?
00:36:14Yeah, I don't want to get
00:36:15my lipstick on you.
00:36:16How you doing?
00:36:17Good.
00:36:17How are you?
00:36:18Good.

00:36:28Good.
00:36:29Where I should be.
00:36:30Well, I'm proud of you.
00:36:32Sad Nana and Bop
00:36:32aren't here to see you.
00:36:34I kind of felt them here
00:36:35a little bit.
00:36:35I mean, they're around.
00:36:36Yeah, of course they are.
00:36:37For sure.
00:36:37And I'm just certain
00:36:38they are very proud of you.
00:36:40I hope so.
00:36:41I hope so.
00:36:42A lot of this day
00:36:43has been the pregame warm-up,
00:36:44and now you start to put
00:36:45the gloves on
00:36:46and the cleats on,
00:36:47and you're in the locker room

00:36:48and you're really figuring out,
00:36:49okay, like, the moment's here.

00:41:42Go.
00:41:45Dearly beloved,
00:41:46we're gathered here today
00:41:47to celebrate Ashley and Alex.
00:41:51A unique love born from truly unique circumstances.
00:41:56While there are many dimensions to love,
00:41:59arguably the most beautiful
00:42:00is that love has no requirements
00:42:02and it knows no limitations
00:42:05based on who you are or how you look.
00:42:07So it is with love in mind
00:42:09that we celebrate these two wonderful people today.
00:42:13They have come so far together
00:42:15from sitting in the pods,
00:42:16excited for the chance to learn about each other,
00:42:19to standing on this platform today,
00:42:22ready for the chance
00:42:23to share their feelings for each other.
00:42:33Ashley,
00:42:34from the moment we stepped into the pods together,
00:42:37obviously I knew that you were very, very special.
00:42:39whether it's riding horseback in Mexico
00:42:42or competing on the golf course together,
00:42:45it's incredible to get to know you.
00:42:47I fell for your voice.
00:42:49I fell for your sense of humor.
00:42:51And I've enjoyed every second of this.
00:43:00Alex,
00:43:01this has been a crazy rollercoaster.
00:43:05I'm sure everyone here
00:43:06is going to think I'm completely insane
00:43:07when I say that I fell for you
00:43:09when I was stepping into a pod.
00:43:12You became my best friend.
00:43:13And I fell in love with you.
00:43:16I love that.
00:43:16I love that.
00:43:21Ashley and Alex,
00:43:23you chose to get engaged
00:43:24and spend the rest of your lives together
00:43:27based on a deep emotional connection.
00:43:30Now is the time
00:43:31to decide
00:43:32if love is blind.
00:43:38Will you get married
00:43:40and commit to face life together
00:43:41as husband and wife?
00:43:43Or will you walk away
00:43:44forever?
00:43:47Alex,
00:43:48we're going to begin with you.
00:43:51Alex,
00:43:52do you take Ashley
00:43:53to be your lawfully wedded wife
00:43:54to have and to hold
00:43:56from this day forward
00:43:57for better or for worse
00:43:58for richer or for poorer
00:44:00in sickness and in health
00:44:02to love, honor, and cherish
00:44:03forsaking all others
00:44:05so long as you both shall live?
00:44:09If so,
00:44:10say I do.
00:44:17I know your answer
00:44:18and it doesn't matter to me.
00:44:21I know you don't choose me
00:44:22and I'm not choosing you either.
00:44:28When we were in the pods,
00:44:30all of our stories,
00:44:31all of our future plans,
00:44:32they aligned perfectly.
00:44:34However,
00:44:34once we left the pods,
00:44:36there was no effort.
00:44:37There was no intimacy.
00:44:38There were no questions
00:44:39that you had for me
00:44:40and I felt like
00:44:41as soon as we moved
00:44:42into the apartment,
00:44:43we were roommates.
00:44:49Something always kind of felt off.
00:44:52Your stories were so vivid.
00:44:54They were so detailed.
00:44:55You would say a lot of words
00:44:57but somehow I just found myself
00:44:58more confused
00:44:59at the end of our conversations.
00:45:01Okay.
00:45:03Lying is a non-negotiable for me
00:45:05and I'm sure it is for you as well.
00:45:07Mm-hmm.
00:45:09I lead my life with integrity
00:45:10which is one of the reasons
00:45:11you've told me
00:45:12that you fall in love with me
00:45:13and I expect my husband
00:45:14to do the same thing.
00:45:15That's fair.
00:45:16Unfortunately,
00:45:16I do feel like
00:45:17you have missed that mark.
00:45:18Okay.
00:45:24I used to ignore red flags.
00:45:27I accepted dishonesty
00:45:29and I spent far too much time
00:45:32waiting for a man to love me
00:45:34that was not my person.
00:45:36I think this process
00:45:37has really made us grow
00:45:39and I'm very proud
00:45:40of the woman I am today
00:45:41and I hope you're proud
00:45:42of the man that you are
00:45:43through all of this.
00:45:44Absolutely.
00:45:45If I was standing here
00:45:47a year ago,
00:45:49I would have ignored
00:45:50all of the red flags,
00:45:51all of the lies.
00:45:52I would have probably thought
00:45:53I can change him
00:45:54or just give it some more time
00:45:56and I would have spent
00:45:56far too much time
00:45:57waiting for you
00:45:58to become the man
00:45:59that I deserve.
00:46:01I know I deserve
00:46:02something extraordinary.
00:46:04I deserve so much better.
00:46:12So I am so sorry
00:46:14but it is a no for me today.
00:46:19Okay.
00:46:21I would like to say
00:46:22I completely respect that from you.
00:46:24I do disagree to an extent
00:46:27about the integrity.
00:46:28I felt as though
00:46:28the questions about my past
00:46:30were more to try and catch me
00:46:32in something
00:46:32that didn't really understand me.
00:46:33I do live a very different lifestyle.
00:46:35I do my best to explain it
00:46:36as much as possible.
00:46:38I personally don't think
00:46:40that I've missed
00:46:40the mark on integrity
00:46:41but I do understand
00:46:42the rest of your feelings
00:46:43and I respect your feelings
00:46:44without a doubt.
00:46:44Um, from my end
00:46:46it's mutual.
00:46:50Saying no to you today
00:46:51is a win.
00:46:56Help me.
00:46:57Help me.
00:46:58Help me.
00:46:59Help me.
00:47:02Come on.
00:47:22She thought I would have caused my life.
00:47:24No.
00:47:25That just is not right.
00:47:35All right.
00:47:36Clock to that guy.
00:47:40Appreciate you, boys.
00:47:41We got you.
00:47:42We got you.
00:47:43We got you.
00:47:44Come here.
00:47:45We're good.
00:47:45I know, but I'm just not.
00:47:47We're good.
00:47:47I'd be with for calling you a liar
00:47:49because you're not.
00:47:50I know that
00:47:51and everyone here knows that
00:47:52so I'm exactly where I should be.
00:47:54And where I needed to be
00:47:55because I'm very confident.
00:47:56And you're a great person
00:47:57and a great man.
00:47:57Appreciate you, bro.
00:47:58We'll be a great husband one day.
00:47:59Appreciate you.
00:47:59I know it.
00:48:00Y'all know who I am.
00:48:01I know who I am.
00:48:03That's all that really not is.
00:48:03I know we care about the rest of it.
00:48:05She's a great girl.
00:48:06There's no ill will,
00:48:07no hard feelings towards her.
00:48:08She feels a certain way.
00:48:09I respect that.
00:48:11You want to go see if she's okay?
00:48:12No.
00:48:13What do you mean?
00:48:15I will say I didn't expect
00:48:17integrity to be called into question.
00:48:19I didn't expect the
00:48:19I'm going to go first type thing.
00:48:21That's a power move.
00:48:22Do your thing.
00:48:22But it was a consistent theme
00:48:23throughout this process here
00:48:24where I was always asked
00:48:26where were you at this time?
00:48:27When did this happen?
00:48:28What were you doing?
00:48:29And I think she was looking
00:48:31for a potential way out
00:48:32to really kind of find that
00:48:33and was really targeting my past.
00:48:35But if you're going to heavily weight,
00:48:36you know, my past,
00:48:37there are some things in hers as well.
00:48:39To my integrity.
00:48:46I'm sure he's a little annoyed
00:48:48that I called out his integrity
00:48:50in front of all of his friends
00:48:51and his mom.
00:48:53But I don't care.
00:48:55I just don't care.
00:48:56Today was all about me.
00:48:58You could tell when I walked in.
00:49:00Like, why did he only, like...
00:49:01Because he has nothing to say.
00:49:02He knows I'm right.
00:49:04That was, I don't know, weird.
00:49:06Weird.
00:49:07He was a loser.
00:49:07I was like, that's all you wanted to do?
00:49:08You know, is it that funny?
00:49:09He didn't love me.
00:49:10He didn't even like me,
00:49:11I don't think so.
00:49:11Really?
00:49:12Yeah, he kept talking about
00:49:13how I'm, like, not his type.
00:49:14And I was like, you're not my type.
00:49:16For him to sit there and lie,
00:49:18I don't think he's here
00:49:19for the right reasons.
00:49:20I think he wanted something
00:49:23else out of this
00:49:23rather than a wife.
00:49:25Just not the right guy.
00:49:26Perfect dress, perfect venue.
00:49:28Not the perfect guy.
00:49:51I've been drifting away from someone.
00:49:56I've been drifting away from someone.
00:49:58Still lamenting.
00:50:00Still lamenting.
00:50:01Healing waters.
00:50:03Move without sound.
00:50:05Asleep through the years without feeling.
00:50:09Today is wedding day,
00:50:10and I am beyond excited.
00:50:12I don't even know what word to use.
00:50:14I'm not running away.
00:50:16Oh, it's so pretty.
00:50:17I knew he was my person,
00:50:20and I didn't care what he looked like.
00:50:23I knew that I was so crazy in love with him.
00:50:26Like, the rest didn't matter.
00:50:27Like, I love him.
00:50:28I love his qualities.
00:50:30I love his heart.
00:50:31I love his mind.
00:50:31I love his soul.
00:50:32I love how much he loves other people.
00:50:35I love how passionate he is.
00:50:38I love how smart he is.
00:50:39I love how silly he can be.
00:50:41I know he's not perfect for everybody,
00:50:43but for me,
00:50:44he, like, could not be more perfect
00:50:46for my personality
00:50:47and what I envisioned in my life
00:50:48and what I want in a husband
00:50:49and what I want in the father of my kids.
00:50:57I've just been calm and confident with him.
00:51:02You know?
00:51:03You know?
00:51:06My biggest fear is just, like,
00:51:09not feeling good enough.
00:51:15Whether it's family stuff
00:51:17or education stuff
00:51:19or upbringing stuff,
00:51:20a lot of my fear in dating in the past
00:51:22was that when someone really gets to know me
00:51:23and see my flaws
00:51:25or my family's flaws,
00:51:27that I wouldn't feel good enough.
00:51:29And that's why this experiment was so beautiful
00:51:31because it gave him everything.
00:51:33And he said, like,
00:51:34you are good enough.
00:51:40And, oh, I'm going to cry saying it,
00:51:43but he wrote me something in the pods
00:51:46and, like, the very first line
00:51:49was, I can't see you,
00:51:51but I see you.
00:51:53And I felt seen.
00:51:54It didn't feel like some BS wording.
00:51:57And so I felt, like, really loved and accepted.
00:52:00And so that fear kind of dissipated,
00:52:02like, right there in that moment,
00:52:03and it hasn't even crept up not once since.
00:52:09Like, now I can't imagine a future without him.
00:52:12And I don't want to even try.
00:52:13There's still time if you want to run, Kristen.
00:52:17You don't imagine.
00:52:19I'm just kidding.
00:52:20I'd punch you if you want to say no.
00:52:21I already told Vic I'd punch him.
00:52:25Shandell, Vic's sister.
00:52:26She's marrying us.
00:52:27Did you know that?
00:52:28Yes.
00:52:29I can't wait to meet his mom for the first time.
00:52:30I don't know, like, what I'm going to say.
00:52:32I don't know what she's going to say.
00:52:34I just want to see her,
00:52:35and I want to hug her.
00:52:36You know, Vic's so incredible.
00:52:37I can know his mom's going to be, too,
00:52:38and I'm really excited for her to be here.
00:52:43Oh, my God.
00:52:45Finally.
00:52:47That's Christian.
00:52:50You look so beautiful.
00:53:00I'm really trying not to cry.
00:53:02I'm really trying.
00:53:04Oh, my goodness.
00:53:05It's lovely to you.
00:53:07It's beautiful.
00:53:08Vic told me a lot about you.
00:53:12I'm so glad you could look naked.
00:53:14I know this is strange,
00:53:16like, meeting on the day of.
00:53:17I know.
00:53:18I was happy when he told me.
00:53:20He's happy.
00:53:21Right.
00:53:22I do know.
00:53:23It's one thing I know my brother,
00:53:24and he's happy.
00:53:25Well, he makes me beyond happy.
00:53:28This is one of my best friends from college.
00:53:30Her name's Tori.
00:53:31Hey, Tori.
00:53:31My other best friend from college,
00:53:32this is Amani.
00:53:33Hey, Amani.
00:53:34How nice to meet you.
00:53:36She's actually my niece,
00:53:37but she's older than me,
00:53:38so I call her my sister,
00:53:40but this is Karina.
00:53:42So happy.
00:53:43Vic found the wife.
00:53:44So happy.
00:53:45I always wanted to find some.
00:53:46Aw, well, I'm honored that he chose me.
00:53:49He's a beautiful, beautiful person.
00:53:52I'll let you read it in private,
00:53:54you know, as you wish,
00:53:55but that's a little note.
00:53:57I was like,
00:53:57I'm not going to have the words
00:53:58and the emotions
00:53:59to say it here in person.
00:54:01We do not want that.
00:54:02Let me see that on ring.
00:54:03I was like,
00:54:04so, I like it.
00:54:06He's so private.
00:54:07He's an introvert.
00:54:08I would not have seen him doing this.
00:54:10I was like, what?
00:54:11You're an introvert.
00:54:13You know what's funny?
00:54:14So am I.
00:54:14He thinks that I'm more extroverted than he is,
00:54:17and I was like,
00:54:17no, absolutely not.
00:54:18You're way more extroverted than I am.
00:54:20Did you guys ever think
00:54:21I would ever do anything like this?
00:54:23Not in a million years.
00:54:24I would have never saw this
00:54:25on Christine's bingo card.
00:54:26Well, when Victor told me,
00:54:27I was like, well,
00:54:29I was like, really?
00:54:30But when he makes up his mind
00:54:32to do something,
00:54:33I know he's taken the time
00:54:34to research it,
00:54:35so I was just like, okay, fine.
00:54:37Like me, I'm from New York,
00:54:38so I have a distrustful demeanor,
00:54:40but I spoke to her,
00:54:42and I instantly liked her.
00:54:44She's genuine,
00:54:45and she came into this process
00:54:47wanting to find love,
00:54:48and she's found it.
00:54:50And I'm happy.
00:54:51I know he wants to find a wife.
00:54:53I'm happy for you alone.
00:54:55Yes, I'm excited.
00:54:56I'm happy.
00:54:57Me too.
00:54:58I'm happy you guys are happy.
00:54:59I'm happy.
00:55:00It's nice meeting you.
00:55:02Go ahead and get ready,
00:55:04and we'll see you.
00:55:05Bye.
00:55:06I'm not as nervous anymore.
00:55:17Hi, guys.
00:55:19There she is.
00:55:21Oh, my gosh,
00:55:22you look gorgeous.
00:55:24You look gorgeous, baby.
00:55:28Are you feeling,
00:55:29are you good?
00:55:30You're not.
00:55:33I'm feeling more like a bride.
00:55:34I knew I was going to be a wife,
00:55:35you know what I mean?
00:55:36Mm-hmm.
00:55:37But I feel like a bride today,
00:55:38which is fun and exciting.
00:55:40I got to meet Vic's mom.
00:55:42Did you like her?
00:55:43Was she nice?
00:55:44Yeah, and her sister came up
00:55:45to meet them both,
00:55:47and they got to chit-tat
00:55:48with everybody.
00:55:49Melody, can you believe it?
00:55:51This is so neat.
00:55:52I know, Tori.
00:55:54Are you getting nervous, too?
00:55:56I'm not nervous.
00:55:56I'm happy.
00:56:06Today's a wedding day.
00:56:07The emotional connection
00:56:08that Christine and I have,
00:56:09it's enough for a lifetime.
00:56:17I don't love with Christine
00:56:18if I even saw her.
00:56:19I know Christine.
00:56:20Like, I know all the parts of her,
00:56:23and she knows all the parts of me.
00:56:24She called me her Build-A-Bear husband.
00:56:26I'm like, all right,
00:56:27you better put some patches
00:56:28on that Build-A-Bear,
00:56:29because, you know,
00:56:29I got scars,
00:56:30and I'm not perfect
00:56:31in any way, shape, or form.
00:56:32But that's the thing,
00:56:33is that her imperfections,
00:56:35my imperfections,
00:56:35we see beauty in it.
00:56:41I can't say what's in that box.
00:56:44I can't.
00:56:45It's between a husband and a wife.
00:56:50Yeah, how about this thing?
00:56:52Where's the man?
00:56:53Oh, okay.
00:56:55Yes, sir.
00:56:56Yes, sir.
00:56:59Brother, brother.
00:57:01Yes, sir.

00:57:10Thanks, y'all.
00:57:10Thanks.

00:57:12That's good.
00:57:13So my question is,
00:57:14how you going to walk out?
00:57:17What you mean?
00:57:18You're just going to be like,
00:57:20I'm going to run down the house.
00:57:27They call me Bullseye, though.
00:57:30Now, let me ask you this.
00:57:32Oscar's things with rhythm,
00:57:33because we're going to be partying.
00:57:34You know what I mean?
00:57:35It's going to be music playing.
00:57:36That's a legit question.
00:57:39Man, we're going to hit it.
00:57:40We're going to hit it.
00:57:43She'll be good.
00:57:44She'll be good.
00:57:44I'm going to have to show her
00:57:45the electric slide in real time.
00:57:48In real time.
00:57:49You know how to do the electric slide?
00:57:51I'm liable to hurt somebody.
00:57:53We're going to show you
00:57:54how to let you slide.
00:57:55So stand up next to me.
00:57:57Good.
00:57:58Now you're doing good.
00:57:58Yeah.
00:57:59Keep it going.
00:57:59Got that style.
00:58:01Got that look.
00:58:02Every trick, every fool.
00:58:04Do you know what I'm singing?
00:58:06Two, three, four.
00:58:08One, two, three, four.
00:58:11One, two, three, four.
00:58:13You're doing good.
00:58:14Hey, kick it up.
00:58:16Hey.
00:58:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:58:18I got it.
00:58:20The way you make me feel.
00:58:24The way you make me feel.
00:58:27The way you make me feel.
00:58:30The way you make me feel.
00:58:31The way you make me feel.
00:58:44The way you make me feel.
00:58:49The way you make me feel.
00:59:01behind me is very much for the show.
00:59:04I wouldn't miss it for anything.
00:59:07Yeah.
00:59:09I was nervous this morning because I've never met her in person.
00:59:13Yeah.
00:59:13But once I went up and I met her, it's like, that was it.
00:59:17I was having the support of close friends and family.
00:59:20That is very important.
00:59:21Well, as you know, family is important to us.
00:59:24She's heavily family-oriented.
00:59:25Yeah.
00:59:26That's a big piece.
00:59:27I told her about the times I gave you hard times as a kid.
00:59:31I told her all the stress that may have caused the family.
00:59:35I remember when you went away to college,
00:59:38when you came back the first semester
00:59:40and you were, like, following me all around the house,
00:59:43apologizing and saying,
00:59:44how come you didn't give up on me?
00:59:46And I said, no, we don't give up on our children.
00:59:48Yeah.
00:59:49That was part of growing up.
00:59:50Yeah.
00:59:50Yeah.
00:59:51Christine next to me, did you feel ashamed about it,
00:59:53those sort of things?
00:59:53And I told her for a while I did,
00:59:55especially after I kind of came to terms with God
00:59:57and what was right and what was wrong.
00:59:59And then she was reassuring.
01:00:00She was like, I accept you for your past, your present.
01:00:02And she was like, God isn't ashamed of you, right?
01:00:04It's not about religion.
01:00:05Yeah.
01:00:06As long as you're on that path,
01:00:08I have no concern and no doubt.
01:00:11I'm happy, truly happy for you and Christine.
01:00:13Mm-hmm.
01:00:14Really happy for you all.
01:00:15Yeah.
01:00:17I can't believe my baby is getting married.
01:00:19Can you believe that?
01:00:20Yeah.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:22There's no cold feet in making a decision about Christine.
01:00:26Mm-hmm.
01:00:26I love you.
01:00:27I love you too.
01:00:27All right.
01:00:28Now it's just for her to choose me.
01:00:39Oh, this dressy.
01:00:42Beautiful, honey.
01:00:44That is incredible.
01:00:45You look so good.
01:00:47Oh, yeah.
01:00:48Yeah.
01:00:49That was the right dress.
01:00:51Gosh, it means everything if it says yes.
01:00:57Babe, I'm so proud of you too.
01:01:00I can't wait to be Mrs. St. John.
01:01:06Oh, gosh.
01:01:24I've never felt like this before.
01:01:28You've opened up our eyes
01:01:31And you open up the door
01:01:34And I just wanna die
01:01:37With you in the deep
01:01:40Wanna run now?
01:01:41We can make a run for it.
01:01:43Not running anywhere in these shoes.
01:01:47Oh.
01:01:49Hi.
01:01:50Hello.
01:01:51How are you?
01:01:54You look incredible.
01:01:55Oh.
01:01:57I wanted to tell you
01:01:58I really liked Beck.
01:02:01I mean, I know I said that with him there,
01:02:03But I really did.
01:02:04I got no words of advice for you.
01:02:06You're an accomplished, beautiful young woman.
01:02:08My job is to get you safely down there
01:02:11To your wonderful new life.
01:02:13Please, Stan.
01:02:15Here we go, Carl.
01:02:49Please be seated.
01:02:54Good afternoon.
01:02:56Victor and Christine are pleased that their closest family and friends have come to witness their exchange of wedding vows.
01:03:05Victor, my one and only baby brother, has been a part of my life since the beginning.
01:03:11Mm-hmm.
01:03:12Though their meeting was unconventional, their commitment to each other and unwavering support of friends and family will help them
01:03:21bloom together like a new plant taking root.
01:03:24Just as Adam and Eve became one, Victor and Christine shall become one today, as well as they become one
01:03:31united in marriage.
01:03:36Um, where do I begin?
01:03:40I'm trying to find my words.
01:03:42Um, Christine, the first time we met I lost words and then this time you came down the aisle and
01:03:50I can't find my words.
01:03:54I never thought I'd fall in love in such a unique experiment.
01:04:01And, Christine, the moment we spoke in those pods and we just connected, it felt so easy getting to know
01:04:09you.
01:04:09You make it easy to open up.
01:04:11You make it easy to be vulnerable.
01:04:13You know more about me than anyone else on this planet at this moment.
01:04:16You accept me for me and I accept you for you.
01:04:20I'm so grateful to be engaged to you and to see what our next step in this chapter looks like.
01:04:31I think just from the beginning I felt some kind of connection with you just from hearing your voice.
01:04:36Even from our first ten minute conversation, I think something in me knew.
01:04:40And every day going forward getting to know you deeper and deeper and you let me fully let my guard
01:04:46down and be myself to open up parts of me that maybe are shameful or embarrassing or whatever I interpreted.
01:04:54And the fact that you still fell in love with me and we had such a connection regardless of anything
01:04:59that either of us shared.
01:05:01Yeah.
01:05:01It just felt so right.
01:05:03It's been such a calm love and an easy love.
01:05:06A very fulfilling and passionate love and very, very, very grateful for you.
01:05:12I'm grateful too.
01:05:12And I feel honored that I'm here with you.
01:05:19Victor and Christine, you chose to get engaged and spend the rest of your lives together based on a deep
01:05:27emotional connection.
01:05:29Now is the time to decide if love is blind.
01:05:33Will you get married and commit to face a life together as husband and wife or will you walk away
01:05:39forever?
01:05:43Christine, do you take Victor to be your lawfully wedded husband, promising to love and comfort him, to honor him
01:05:53and keep him in sickness and in health, in prosperity and adversity and forsaken all others as long as you
01:06:02both shall live?
01:06:02If so, please say I do.
01:06:05If so, please say I do.
01:06:12I do.
01:06:19Victor, do you take Christine to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to love and comfort her, to honor her
01:06:29and keep her in sickness and in health,
01:06:31in prosperity and adversity and forsaken all others as long as you both shall live?
01:06:38If so, please say I do.
01:06:41You're a special woman.
01:06:43And you're more than that.
01:06:44You're my woman.
01:06:45You're my rib.
01:06:46And I do.
01:06:53I now pronounce you husband and wife.
01:06:57Victor, you may now kiss your beautiful bride.
01:07:00Oh my god!
01:07:01I've got a whole lot of love.
01:07:05I've got a whole lot of love.
01:07:08I've got a whole lot of love.
01:07:09I've got a whole lot of love.
01:07:09I've got a whole lot of hope in my world.
01:07:12Yese!
01:07:15How are you seeing me?
01:07:23For the Saint Johns?
01:07:25Saint Johns, baby.
01:07:26What a beautiful thing.
01:07:27Yeah, it's nice meeting you.
01:07:29Oh, sure.
01:07:33Best day of my life times 10.
01:07:37Yeah.
01:07:37Never felt love like this.
01:07:38Yeah.
01:07:41My forever.
01:07:43Forever, ever.
01:07:44Ever, ever.
01:07:45We got a merging of families.
01:07:47We got a tribe.
01:07:48Yeah.
01:07:49With my wife, that's what I'm looking forward to.
01:07:54Same.
01:07:55I've got to show you the electric fly later.
01:07:58I'm going to have to take my shoes off.
01:07:59Yeah.
01:08:00Mmm.
01:08:03Yeah, how about you too?
01:08:04Yeah.
01:08:05Best chapter?
01:08:05Mm-hmm.
01:08:06Best chapter?
01:08:07Mm-hmm.
01:08:07How do you know?
01:08:10Oh.
01:08:11Oh.
01:08:12Oh.
01:08:14Oh.
01:08:17Oh.
01:08:17Oh.
01:08:17Oh.
01:08:20Oh.
01:08:22Oh.
01:08:34Emma was feeling that it was an I do.
01:08:36And I was definitely shocked.
01:08:43It's not that I don't want to be with her, I do.
01:08:45But at the same time, it was coming off as if almost she didn't want the responsibility of children ever.
01:08:50And that's scary to me.
01:08:53I didn't want to hurt Emma.
01:08:55And I truly do believe, even with this happening today, I do think that love is blind.
01:09:03I still do think that love is blind.
01:09:06But I do think that there are big things in life, like children, that you, I guess, can't be blind
01:09:14on.
01:09:17Especially for him.
01:09:23Absolutely no regrets on my end.
01:09:24I'm so pleased and proud of myself as a person.
01:09:27I would say love is blind to an extent.
01:09:29One of the biggest things I've learned from this process is the emotional connection needs to be prioritized over the
01:09:34physical.
01:09:34The physical is still important to me.
01:09:37I'm not saying it needs to be important to everybody else.
01:09:39But to me, I need a physical match that makes me very, very happy.
01:09:42Moving forward from me, seeing what happens next.
01:09:45Staying open to everything that comes forward.
01:09:51Ashley, a year ago, would have let him walk all over me.
01:09:54She would have said yes, and she would have been miserable living a life with him.
01:09:58But today, I stood my ground.
01:10:00I walked away from something because it no longer brought me joy.
01:10:04I think this process has definitely helped me figure out what I want, what I don't want, what I'll accept
01:10:09in a relationship.
01:10:10I want a love that lasts a lifetime.
01:10:12I don't want some mediocre love.
01:10:15And he falls very short of what I deserve in this life.
01:10:24Join me in welcoming Mr. and Mrs. Ben!
01:10:36We're both ecstatic right now.
01:10:38It is so much fun.
01:10:40It's amazing.
01:10:40Oh, yeah.
01:10:41I love you.
01:10:42I love you.
01:10:43I love you.
01:10:45It's hard now before.
01:10:47But I was in me.

01:10:51So in love with Jordan.
