[Hannah] What conversation did you have with Katie?
[Nick D] Um…
-Just-- -You just don't know?
I… it was just talking about shit that happened.
[Hannah] Like what? Can you explain?
[Nick D] You feel some way about it?
Well, yeah, 'cause my best friend in the whole wide world
and my fiancé are talking.
You guys were giggling, having the best time of your life.
It's annoying.
It meant nothing to me.
You said the person you need closure with is Katie.
-I didn't need closure. -That's what you said.
-I didn't say that. -[Hannah] What did you say?
I said, "If there was someone I wanted to talk to, it would be Katie."
-So you got what you wanted. -Right. I'm a man.
So this is where I'm frustrated.
I'll explain it.
-Katie, best fucking friend in the world. -[sighs]
Today, when you tell me that Katie is someone that you're intrigued to see…
I wasn't intrigued to see her.
I wanted to have a conversation to ask,
"Hey, the first three days, we ranked each other one."
"Why didn't I see you the fourth?"
She said, "You were some of the guys I dated in the past."
Okay, I totally get it. I know you didn't wanna see me.
That's totally fine. I'm happy with Hannah.
And that's that.
That was just three seconds you explained. Why did you have a 40-minute conversation?
-She's a cool girl. -She's my best friend.
If that's your friend, why don't you go and ask her what happened?
-Why are you asking me? -You're my fiancé. It's annoying.
Were you guys talking about how fabulous I am,
or were you talking about your past relationships?
-Are we mature enough at this age-- -Are you mature enough, Nick?
I've taught you everything you know.
I turned you into a boy into a fucking man.
-I have done everything for you. -You turned me into a boy to a man?
I think you're literally the most fabulous person.
Tonight, I was literally talking to Ashley about how, like, me in the pods…
-Let me explain before you interrupt me. -[laughing]
Me and Ashley had a conversation.
I was talking to Ashley about how I don't show you enough of my fun side.
Like, in the pods, I was the fun girl. I was so fun.
-Right. -With you, there's no more fun.
Like, I'm a fucking fun-ass person.
I haven't got to show you that 'cause I've been taking this so seriously.
And I've been so stressed out. Even my parents said that, right?
So tonight, me and Ashley had a conversation.
I was like, "Right. I need to show Nick my fun side. I love Nick."
"Tonight is the night where I show him how fun I can be."
-Yeah. -"We can have fun together," right?
But then, at the same point,
Katie had came up to me three different times tonight.
My best friend told me how attractive you were.
-What does that have to do with me? -Just let me explain!
"He's hot, Hannah. I'm into him." She said it three different times.
And then in the same day, you said you really wanted to talk to Katie.
-What does that have to do with me? -And then you two get together.
I have no clue what the fuck the conversation is, right?
To me, it hurts, because it's like, that's my fiancé and my best friend.
Like, that… it hurts me.
At the end of the day, it's like,
"Is that a best friend who disrespects me like that?"
"Is that a fiancé that disrespects me like that?"
So my question for you is, you're not secure in this. You don't trust me.
-That's what it really comes down to. -It's not that I don't.
-It's about respect. -Do you trust me?
Hmm. I don't know if I don't trust you, but I don't know if I trust Katie.
I don't even know why we're having this conversation, right?
Like, I'm here with you. I'm gonna get married to you.
-No, I know. -If you don't trust me--
-Do you understand my frustration though? -I really don't.
Do you remember when we got in a fight? I said, "It's about respect"?
-Respect, Nick. -[laughing]
I don't know. I'm going to bed.
[Nick D] I respected you.
I said, "Hey, Hannah and I are in a fantastic place."
-"I can't wait to get married." -[Hannah] Are we?
If I can't have a conversation
with one of your best friends,
I guess you just don't trust us then.
No, I just want you to understand when I'm upset.
I have no clue what you talked about, Nick.
That's not my fault that she came to you five different times and said I was hot.
I love you, and I'm giving my world to you.
"You talked to Katie for 40 minutes." Who gives a fuck?
-I do. -I don't give a fuck.
-But that's-- -You should listen to me.
I'm into you. And I'm into this, right?
So who gives a fuck what Katie thinks?
I was so excited to show you, like, my fun side
and have a fun night.
-And of course this shit has to happen. -Yeah, but who ruined that?
It wasn't me.
Look at my feet right now. They look psychotic.
-This is disgusting. -I… I don't get it.
Like, it's exactly how it was in the pods.
"Oh, Nick's flirting with a bunch of women. Oh, he's Rico Suave."
That's how the fuck I am.
-Right. If I tell you I love you-- -I don't think that's who you are.
Bet. Okay, roll with it.
Well, you look really hot right now.
I think I'm just ready for bed.
Bet. Me too.
I'm just pissed that some meaningless conversation that I had
about one of your best friends.
Right? If that's one of your best friends, then why are you grilling me about it?
[Hannah] Okay.
[Nick D] Bet. That's exactly what I thought.
Didn't do shit.
I can't be myself, I guess. And I can't dress up, I guess.
I guess I gotta look dumb.
I realize the person I love. I'm a mature man.
I don't know what I did wrong, so…
Do you hear me, Hannah?
Hannah, can you hear me?
[grunts, clicks tongue]
[Hannah] I think it's always good to communicate.
Just right now, it's 1:30 in the morning.
I just wanna get some sleep. Then we talk about it tomorrow.
Before we go to sleep, is there something that you are mad at me for?
That I could have done better?
No.
Okay, that's all I needed to know. Because I felt like I did nothing wrong.
I felt like I had a mature conversation with someone.
-I told them exactly how I felt about you. -Hey.
Hey.
-So-- -Hey, hey, let's just go to sleep.
-Come here. Come on. Come on. -Okay.
-Okay?
-That's-- all right, like… -Okay.
All right. Well, that's that.

Welcome to San Diego.
Finally getting shown around the hometown.
I'm expecting her to be pointing stuff out right now, but she's not.
So far, the tour's been a little…
-Mid? -A little iffy.
It's like what Taylor thought when she first saw me.
[laughs]
Maybe a little more caffeine and some sleep, we'll get a better tour.
[laughs] It's like we had a really easy night or something.
I'm not even sure I remember what happened.
-Okay. -[laughs]
We didn't sleep all night.
I was crying a lot.
We've talked at length, and he feels terrible.
But, you know, his reaction to his ex
really was a lot more friendly than, like, I thought it would be.
It actually made me feel like shit.
And I hate that this is a week out from our wedding.
I know that Garrett and I really love each other
and that we plan to go meet my parents and my family today.
And that's something that's been so incredibly important for me.
I'm trying my best to, like, make sure that we table that and enjoy today,
and they get to meet Garrett, and it's not marred by this thing
that I don't think he did intentionally or maliciously.
-Really excited to go meet my parents. -Yes.
And, um, they're gonna love Garrett.
-But what do we think of the neighborhood? -Love it. Love it.
I could totally live here.
I'd like today to be… a happy day and something that is about celebrating us
and, like, what was 12, 24 hours ago
a happy and anticipated wedding.
And, you know, now I'm not 100%.
And I think that, um, Garrett understands.
I think he's being very patient.
And, um…
I'm just kind of…
just really hurt.
So Garrett was finally able to come meet my family and friends.
They're all very wonderful. Everyone is a special character.
And it's been a pleasure to meet all of you guys.
And, so, uh, just wanna show all the support and love that we got.
-[cheering] -[Garrett] They're real people.
-Taylor has a real family. -[man] They're real.
Okay, I do indeed actually have a real family.
-I'm officially a Padres fan, so… -Officially a Padres fan.
[woman] Yay, Garrett!
-[laughing] -[cheering]
Garrett got to meet potentially the…
who would be the grandparents to his kids one day.
-[chuckles] -It was perfect.
I think they can see just, like, how happy I am
and how deeply we've thought about it.
And to be able to describe the experiment
and all the value it's provided
for two very logical people
to, like, align their lives to be life partners
was something that they were just as shocked as, like, we were.
Yeah.
Um, but I think trust me to make the best decision for myself.
And I think Garrett's the best decision for myself.
[chuckles]
And I'm glad you got to meet everyone today.
Yeah. Looking forward to the wedding.

Most men don't deserve to meet my friends. You're lucky, Nick.
I worked hard. You turned me from a boy to a man. [chuckles]
Do you think we resolved the issue?
[Nick D] I think we resolved the issue.
Sometimes I come across flirty, but it comes across the wrong way.
So it's been an adjustment trying to, you know, change for you.
So you're trying to change your flirtation for me?
I'm trying to change my personality for you, yeah.
Me asking you not to flirt with women, I'm changing your personality?
-[Nick D] I wasn't flirting with… -Okay.
But that's what it came across to you.
Mm-hmm. In this experiment, sometimes you have tests,
and it was a test that I think that you failed, but--
[laughs] I didn't even get a D? I failed?
-As long as you don't fail again. -[laughs]
Well, that's what I'm-- you know, I don't want to fail you.
Hopefully, I don't fail this.
-We'll see, Nick. -You're supposed to have confidence in me.
-I have confidence in you, Nick. -That's all I needed.
-[woman] Hello! -[Nick D] What's up, guys?
-Oh! -[woman] Hi!
-How are you? I'm Hannah. -What's up? Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
-[Hannah] You smell nice. -So do you.
I got the hot seat here.
-[woman] I haven't seen you in forever. -We haven't. It's been so long.
Did you imagine me getting married? [chuckles]
I mean, I can imagine you getting married, but not…
This is, like, just very different.
Tell us about you. What do you like to do?
So I grew up playing a bunch of sports. My whole family loves sports.
I played college football, um, a little bit pro.
Now I'm in real estate.
Women were never a priority to me.
I was always doing work or football.
Since it's never been a priority, what makes you wanna go through with this now?
It's the right time in my life.
I was really invested in football. I gave everything to that.
After that, you know, I had realized exactly what I wanna do with my life,
and that I wanna start a family.
I wanna get married.
Before Hannah, I never loved anyone before.
When you meet the right person, you kind of know.
You think you're ready to marry me?
-I think so. [laughs] -[Hannah] Yeah?
-Yeah! Do you think you're ready? -[Audriana] "Think so"?
Hold on a second. You "think"?
Do you think you're ready to marry me?
-I do wanna marry you. -Yeah.
I would love to marry you. Sometimes I just, like, question things.
It makes me think if we should get married.
-Do you know what I mean? -Yeah, I have some flaws to work on.
Doesn't mean I'm not ready for marriage. Doesn't mean I don't love you.
But we've had a couple of situations
where I felt, like, the conversation was harmless,
and from your perspective, it was a little more than that.
I know that a fault sometimes is that I am a little bit too direct,
and sometimes it can come off as malicious or rude.
But when you know me, you know that's actually coming
actually from the most kind place of heart.
-And the truth hurts. Let's be real. -The truth does hurt.
[Hannah 2] Everyone wants honesty until they have it.
Thank you.
So, basically, Nick went to go ride this duck.
I was like, "That's gonna give me the ick."
"I'm gonna start calling you frickin' Icky-Nicky."
"But go ride the frickin' duck." And he went over to ride--
It looked cool.
Then some woman gets on there with him. Then the woman, like, looks at me.
And she's like, "Oh, look at your girl. She's so jealous."
And I was like…
And then Nick was like, "Oh, that's so funny."
I was like, "Uh…"
[Audriana] I wouldn't have thought that was funny.
-It wasn't funny. -I wouldn't have thought it was funny.
It's tough for me because I feel like
I'm having to change a lot about the type of man I am.
And now it's like, "Well, damn."
Maybe, you know, I'm not mature enough, right?
Which I think I am for a marriage.
I'm questioning myself now.
You think I'm trying to change you, and I don't wanna change you.
When you're marrying someone,
there are changes you make because it's a different dynamic in life.
Being flirtatious and things is how you are,
but when you have someone else in your life,
you have someone else to consider constantly.
If you can't do that, don't make me feel like you can and then you don't.
-That's not what you were saying. -[Hannah] What did I say?
I'd never wanna share anything you don't feel comfortable sharing,
but you can share how you felt if you'd like.
Go ahead. You got the floor.
I think sometimes he's not honest and upfront with me,
because I think that he thinks that if he is honest and upfront with me
and that he's not ready for this, then I won't be in his life anymore.
Because we do love each other.
But if he chooses not to say yes to me,
then we will not be together anymore.
How do you feel about that statement?
What I told you last night, like, you have questions about my maturity,
social awareness, if I can take care of you,
if I can take care of Luna, if I can live in your space with you,
how are our routines gonna mesh,
am I able to change my past ways for this relationship?
Like, those are just six right off the bat that are huge reservations, right?
But those are easy fixes.
-Yeah. -Walking the dog, that's pretty easy.
-For sure. -Then do it.
The things that she's saying are just actions.
They're not who you are.
They're just changing your routine and what you're used to doing
to be in a relationship instead of being single.
Mm-hmm. And I'm willing to take on all of those risks and challenges.
-That's a risk and challenge? -What?
To have characteristics to be in a relationship?
-No, I'm willing to do this. No doubt. -[Hannah] Yeah.
I'm not asking you to change who you are, to be a different person.
I'm asking you to respect me. I'm asking you to be not flirtatious.
-I'm asking you-- -I feel like I do respect you.
-…to do the things I do as well. -[Nick D] Yeah.
I'm not asking you to change your personality,
to change what you like to do, your hobbies.
That's not what I'm asking.
I'm asking for very small things that, to you, are huge. You know what I mean?
You're saying these challenges, whatever, it sounds to you like it's a lot.
And it's a lot of work, and all this stuff, when it's really not.
It's really simple, easy things.
"Respect me. Walk the dog. Pick up around the house."
You're acting like this is a huge thing you have to change and do.
And it's not.
I don't think it's a huge thing I need to change, and I'm willing to do that.
Then why is it so hard for you to get there, then?
Yeah, so that's what I was gonna say. You say that it's not a huge thing.
But then you're like, "I have doubts about getting married,"
because of the six things that you, like, named off, right?
She doesn't want you to change who you are.
Like, I love you so much, and I never question, like, your love for me ever.
The only thing I question is if you're ready to be able to fully commit to me,
to marry me, and be the husband that I deserve. You know what I mean?

You know, and this is a big day between a mom and daughter.

Nick doesn't match my humor.
He doesn't match me creatively. He doesn't match me financially.
He doesn't match me anywhere.
And him meeting my friends yesterday, they did not like him.
None of that matters if you love each other.
None of that matters.
I do love him. That's why I'm here.

Hey, Cheryl. Nice to meet you both. What was your first impression of Garrett?
That's not her type.
-Like, how he looks? -[Fong] Correct.
But when he would talk and look at her and say things,
it was like, "Aww, he really loves her."
Would you agree that he's not the type you normally go for?
Yes. [laughs]
Isn't that fascinating?
It is. But that's the whole point of this experiment.
I think he's the hottest guy in the world.
-So you definitely think love is blind? -It is.
[laughing]
Marissa, who did you bring with you today?
I brought my mom and my best friend from high school, Brenda.
Nice to meet you.
She's always, you know, wanted to find love, true love.
[Marissa] Mm-hmm.
[Brenda] Someone with a big heart, as big as hers,
and I feel like, meeting Ramses, he has the biggest heart.
And I am so glad that she found someone completely different.
I feel like that's what she needed.
And I feel like both of them together, um, they will be one and done.
This is the first and only wedding for her.

Aww, sweet girl.
And she just deserves this so much.

-Not hypermasculine. He's perfect. -No, not at all.
I mean, Marissa's gonna do what she wants to do, so…

-She has. -I told him I'd cut his balls off.

If he hurt her.
'Cause she's such a good soul. She's a good person.
But I'm confident that she's made the right decision.
I mean, he seems okay. I don't know. I'm getting hot.
[laughing]
All right, Ashley. Who'd you bring today?
-My mom and my godsister Brittany. -[Vanessa] Nice to meet you.
I actually feel like I've known Tyler for a very long time.
What a great guy.
-I love that. -[Carla] I'm so happy.
I'm very happy for her.
I'm excited for you. And to have your moms here with you is so special.
Here we are at your tux fitting, your suit fitting.
I mean, it's a suit, right? But it's more than just a suit.
It's also a reflection of who you are, your personality, your style.
It's a reflection of the love and commitment you have for your fiancée.
So this is a big, big day, fellas.
I want you to appreciate that, but have fun with it.
I wanna take a minute just to kind of get to know who you guys have with you.
Tyler, let's start with you.
-I got my buddy Jake right here. -[laughing]
[Tyler] That's my friend Tevon. He's been in my life since 17.
[Tevon] High school.
So I had my doubts. I know Tyler pretty well,
but whatever went into those pods clearly worked.
He was talking about Ashley.
He goes, "She's the greatest girl in the whole world."
I said, "What? What did you just say?" He goes, "Oh! I don't know."
"They must be putting something in my food."
[laughing]
[Jake] "I don't know what's going on, man, but I'm in love."
Once he said that, I was like, "Oh, wow. This is for real."
-[Nick] Yeah. -You know, I'm excited for you.
I'm excited for you.
-Garrett, how you feeling, bud? -I'm good, man.
-Who you got with you? -Got Trevor and Brandon.
Two of my best friends from high school.
Any thoughts? Have you had a chance to meet Taylor?
-Yeah, I did. She's great. -Yeah.
She seems like somebody that's gonna be able to keep up with this maniac.
Garrett's a very efficient and targeted and focused person.
If he's willing to, you know, open up his life to someone else,
then that's it. That's the decision.
-It sounds like you trust his instincts. -Yeah, 100%.
-Ramses, who you got with you? -Got my friend David.
He's like a brother to me. Known him for over ten years.
-Okay. -[Ramses] We've been through a lot.
Really similar journeys.
He's someone who I feel just really understands me.
One of the things that stuck with me about our initial meeting,
was you saying you were perceived a certain way in the dating world.
Do you feel like because of the uniqueness of this experience
that you were finally able to be seen for who you truly are?
Yeah, with Marissa, every time I see her, like,
any doubts or any concerns I may have, everything just melts away.
And every day, I'm learning and growing with her.
Literally this morning, I told her,
"I feel like every day I'm falling more in love with you
because I'm discovering just little details here and there."
I'm just excited to be on the altar and see her walking down the aisle.
[Nick] To look into the three of your eyes today and see the joy, the passion,
the love that, you know, you clearly all feel, um, it's very cool for me.
-I wanna say congrats to you… -[Ramses] Thank you.
…on being here, and, uh…
[gasps] …like I said earlier,
pretty soon you're gonna be standing there at that altar,
looking into the eyes of your beautiful bride.
And in that moment, you'll have to make the most important decision of your life.
Do you say "I do" to the person you fell in love with sight unseen,
or will you walk away from him forever?
Is love truly blind?
We hope it is.
Cheers to you all finding the dress that you will get married in
and start the journey for the rest of your life.
I'm so happy for you. Yay!

Thank you.

[Tyler] Hell yeah, boys. Appreciate y'all boys coming.

I feel like I can say anything to Ashley. She knows insecurities, vulnerabilities.
I've cried. She's taken me, like, as I am.
I don't have to put on this tough face all the time.
-I can show emotions. -I'm excited for you.
[mutters]
[laughing] Look. He's getting emotional. Look.
You better not.
He had to take a walk.
-[Tevon] It's been a long time coming. -[Jake] Come on, man. You're good.
[Tevon] It's been a long time coming. Come on.
[Jake] Relax.
-You grew up in a different scene. -This is crazy.
We never get to see Tyler like this. [laughs]
You'll be all right, man. If she got you like this, then oh my God.
-[Jake] You good, bro? -I'm good.
This is like… It's not a sad cry. It's a happy cry.

Princess Ashley!
-[Marissa] How do you feel in it? -[Ashley A] I like it.
I'm just wondering if it's, like, too much.
You can never do too much on your wedding day.
[Ashley A] That's a fact.
That's good.
I love how the veil really adds.
-[woman 2] Aww. -[woman 3] Yeah.
-[woman 4] Oh, shit! -[laughing]
Ah, the veil!
[sighing] I just feel like, I knew you'd get here, girl.
-[laughing] -At some point! At some point. [laughing]
There was a time where I didn't feel that way.
[Carla] Yeah.
I knew you would get there.
I wanna try on the other one to see if I'm sold on this dress.
I have a good feeling about this one.
-Uh-oh! -[laughing]
[gasps]
[Carla] You good going up?
[Ashley A] Oh.
[Marissa] I like the way it fits.
-Oh! -[laughing]
I feel like this is how it's supposed to feel.
I really like the other one, but, like…
-Trust your gut. -This is like… yeah.
-Oh, yeah. -[woman 5 laughs] It is beautiful.
-[Brenda] It is. -[Vanessa 2] She's such a beautiful girl.
[Marissa] She's Barbie!
-You think that? -Holy shit, yeah. [laughs]
-Aww, you look beautiful, princess. -[Ashley A] Thank you.
Just like you always imagined. You look amazing.
Tyler's so lucky.
[laughing]
You look like a bride. He certainly is lucky.
Can you imagine Tyler standing beside you now?
Yeah.
I can.
[Taylor] You're glowing.
You look like you're about to go down the aisle right now.
-[laughing] -[Marissa] You look perfect.
[Ashley A] Thank you.
-You're supposed to not be crying. -I'm starting to be more emotional.
[laughing]
[Ashley A] It was really dark days,
um, in past situations where you start to feel undeserving.
So to be here now and to know that someone chose me without
anything else is just a very overwhelming feeling.
Um… [sniffles]
But I'm, like, really, really happy, so I love that for me.
[laughing]
-[sniffles] -[sighs]
-Let me get my hug. -Yeah.
-I love you so much. -I love you too.
You're gonna be a beautiful bride and a beautiful wife.
[laughing]
-You ready to get fitted for a tuxedo? -Yes, sir.
-When's the last time you wore a tuxedo? -I was actually married once before.
But I feel like maybe I filled in a little bit, a tiny bit, since then.
-Let me take a couple measurements. -Go for it.
[tailor] All righty.
[Ramses laughs] Got some long arms too.
[tailor] Where do you wear your pants? Right here?
-[Ramses] Perfect. -[tailor] Listen.
-You like your sock to show? -A little bit, yeah.
You know, there's a term for that. It's called "ankle cleavage."
-Ankle cleavage. -Ankle cleavage.
-We wanna show a little ankle cleavage. -[tailor] Okay, so I'm gonna--
-I support ankle cleavage. -I support some ankle cleavage. [laughs]
-Okay. -Second time around.
Second time around, yeah.
I've learned from all the ways
maybe I wasn't the best husband in my first marriage.
-Right. -I just feel so confident in Marissa.
It's just like, "We got this."
Yeah, you do.
We really do have such a great connection and such a great just bond.
Um, I really do feel like we can overcome anything, so…
-Okay, you doing it! I'm very excited. -[laughing]
-Yeah, yeah. -This is beautiful. This is beautiful.
It's amazing.
-[woman] Oh! -[Brenda] Oh, my God, a little princess.
It is very princess-y. I don't even know how to feel about it.
It's definitely very beautiful.
I feel like it looks too girly,
if that makes sense.
-Yeah, it does. -Yeah.
[Marissa] Like, too little girl-y.
-[Ashley A] Yeah. -[Brenda] It's not sophisticated.
[Marissa] Yeah.
So I actually think it's so pretty.
This is Marissa as a little girl with her tutus and her little clog shoes
parading around with her little clickety-clackety
because she wanted to be the princess.
I know y'all see her one way, but this is the Marissa I see
in her fairy-tale dress,
and her little girly girl wearing that little tutu dress, it is.
That's probably why it's not the dress, 'cause she's not the little girl anymore.
-She's a woman. -[Vanessa 2] I see why she picked it.
-[Ashley A] Yeah. -It's obvious that you don't love it.
I don't.
Next.
[softly] All right.
[Brenda] How are you feeling?
How are you feeling that your high school friend is getting married?
[Brenda] I'm excited for her.
You know, all the guys that she's ever dated are… [blows raspberry]
So it's nice that she's finally…
He does. She called him today for something,
and he, like, got it to tailor really quick.
He hurried up, went and did it. She says, "If you can't, you can't."
And he just dropped everything and did it for her.
And you know, it was just-- He seems really genuine.
-[Marissa] All right, I'm coming out. -Okay.
-[gasps] -[Ashley A] Oh, wow.
-[Brenda] Yes. -Wow.
I'm already crying. [gasps]
-I love it, Mama! -[Ashley A] Oh, wow!
Your booty looks poppin'!
-It fits so good. -[Ashley A] It does.
[Vanessa 2] I love it. It does fit beautifully, Mama.
-You actually like it? -I love it.
[sighs]
[sniffles, sobs]
-I'm such a crybaby. [laughs] -[women laughing]
[Marissa sniffles]
[Brenda] Aww.
It's okay, Mama.
I think I would like some up-do fashion.
It looks beautiful up, and it shows your face.
Yeah.
-Yeah. -[Ashley A] Oh, wow, Marissa.
[Vanessa 2] There you go.
Beautiful.
[Ashley A] You look absolutely stunning.
Okay, no, this is…
-This is perfect. -[Ashley A] Wow.
-It's the one. Yeah, I… -[Ashley A] Yeah, it's the one.
-Look at her. -You're glowing.
-Yeah? -[Taylor] More than normal.
[laughing]
-I'm bright as hell right now. -[laughing]
-It sounds weird. I feel like an adult. -Yeah.
I think I'm so playful
and so young at heart at times that I forget that I'm 31.
And looking at this, I'm like, "I look like a grown woman…"
-[Ashley A] Yeah. -"…who's about to get married."
Well, you could always cry on Mommy's shoulder.
Yes, Mom. Remember when I was a little kid, you said,
"What do you wanna be when you grow up?" I said, "A wife"?
-And she actually said, "No." -[laughing]
"You will be a lawyer. You'll be a doctor. You will not be a wife!"
So that's what I grew up with.
Not that I was against it. I just wanted her to also have her own.
Yeah, I did. I'm a lawyer.
-Yeah. -[laughing]
I knew I wanted to get married 'cause I'm a big romantic, as you guys know.
Yeah.
I love love. And Ramses loves love,
so I found my perfect match.
She did. She's beautiful, and I'm happy that she's happy.
[Marissa] Yes.
-I'm excited to get married. -Yeah.
-She is excited. -[Marissa laughs] Yeah.
I'm gonna wear this all night. I'm not changing into anything else.
[cheering]
Is there any trepidation of, like, you just met this person, like,
what, a month ago?
-Yeah. You have no idea. -[Trevor] You're working through a lot.
I'm sure you're having deep conversations about, like, how to handle your finances
and other, like, real-life things,
but, like, is there still, like, you know, a lot of unknown…
Yeah, we're having conversations every day.
This has been a month. So you're just going off a feeling.
How do I feel when I get up there? How do I feel today?
Everything about me says, like, I'd be a total idiot to say no.
This is the right person for me.
Like, as long as you're feeling that way every day…
Yeah, you can realize that this is early. Maybe it's premature.
-But I don't wanna lose her. -[both] Yeah.
Is there anything on her end that she would say no to?
[exhales] You never know. Something could happen. I could do something stupid.
Something else could pop in her head.
Her mom could say something that makes her second guess it, you know.
[Trevor] Has that been a big influence?
-[Garrett] Parents are a big influence. -I would imagine both of you guys, yeah.
My parents are upset, but they're still supportive.
They're just upset about the idea of me moving to San Diego and stuff.
I've never been in a situation where I've not had all the power
in a relationship, so it's weird, you know.
I wanna be with this girl.

-Honest feedback. We love it. -[Vanessa 2] Yeah.
-You know when you know. -[Taylor] It's true.
When you know, you know. I don't know about this dress.
So, next one?
Today's a really big day for my mom, because she's also been
the mom that's made every Halloween costume for me,
the mom who helped tailor outfits.
And so to see me in my wedding dress is just a really special moment.
-Okey dokey, ladies. -All right!
-Oh, yes! -[Ashley A] Love that.
Taylor, I love that on you.

It's so her, as far as, um, "understated."
And it has pops of uniqueness to it.
It's beautiful. And the buttons and all in the back.
-It's all in the details. [clicks tongue] -Very pretty.
Thank you, Mama.
[sighs]
You always think about, "Oh, my little girl, she's gonna get married."
And here we are.
It's really happening.
You look beautiful.
Thank you, Mom. I know it's not the way that we thought, but…
that's kind of me. [laughing]
It's never the way we thought.
Like, the dress is beautiful,
but having you here and doing this is all that I care about.

In the pods, you said you wanted someone that could push you.
-Yeah. -[Hannah] And help you grow.
Yeah.
-Do you think I've done that at all? -Yeah.
Is it too much though?
[Nick D] At times, maybe.
When I think back of, like, the very first, like, little incident we had
with that woman and thing, and like, I wrote notes.
This was my list. It was,
"Respect, delusional, social awareness…"
"Maturity, confidence versus something."
"Maturity and confidence versus ego."
Those five concerns that I have are still there. They never went away.
-Yeah. -You kept repeating the same actions.
Social awareness, I do not see. Respect, you have none.
Ego versus confidence.
I feel like I need to stroke your ego for you to be happy.
I feel like you extremely say you're a confident person,
and I make you unconfident when I think it's just ego.
And it's delusion. It's like you just can't see how I feel.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
[inhales]
I don't understand you.
I don't, like… I don't get it.
For instance, like, the Katie situation, for example.
I use specific examples. I don't know if you can, but I can.
'Cause I remember things. I know you don't--
You're just throwing shade for no reason.
-It's just the truth. -It's not the truth.
It's my truth.
You see how you're always demeaning? You're always talking down on me.
We're not equals here.
-It doesn't feel that way at all. -Yeah.
You think I can't take care of myself for some reason.
You think I can't take care of you. I can't take care of anything.
What are your responsibilities in life?
-Payments, myself-- -[Hannah] What are your payments?
-We talked about it. -[Hannah] What are they?
My car, my gas, my insurance.
-That's pretty much it right now. -Okay.
So I live at home, all right? So I don't have to pay rent.
My responsibilities are, you know, taking care of myself.
-Taking care of work, -Mm-hmm.
You know, making sure that the people around me are secure.
You know, I have a cat.
-It's nothing like taking care of a dog-- -Who feeds it?
My dad gets up at 6:30 a.m. and feeds the cat.
-[Hannah] Is that cat your responsibility? -Yeah.
It's my responsibility to clean out the litter.
You know, fill up her water and her food. Cats are pretty easy, right?
You've gotta put out food throughout the day periodically.
You've gotta fill up their water bowl. And that's pretty much it, right?
It's pretty easy. Make her feel loved.
I'm a pretty simple man, right? So what are my responsibilities?
Simple men don't need a lot of responsibilities, right?
My responsibilities are being the best son and friend I can be.
Doing everything I can to be successful in real estate.
I'm trying to take the initiative, and--
When do you make the initiative?
I've never seen this side of you.
When you constantly bash me and say, "I'm turning you from a boy to a man."
[Hannah] Mm-hmm.
This is just you being kind of, like, hard on me.
I'm not the type of man to sit here
and come up with a notebook full of notes and bash you.
-It didn't work-- -You think I'm bashing you?
It's a little too much, to be honest with you.
Do you know why I do this?
So you can get your thoughts on paper and you don't forget 'em?
Yeah, I just wanna make sure if this is the last conversation we ever have,
I would like to be able to get all my feelings out.
I have been trying, and I have been trying,
and I have been trying,
because, like, I love you, and I want this so freaking bad.
It's just like…
When do I take off the rose-colored glasses
and just, like, see this for what it is?
Today is the day where you try on your tux and I try on my wedding dresses.
I realized I can't do this. This is not fair to me.
This is not fair to you for us to put on your tux
and for me to put on a wedding dress and come here.
So what did I do?
I call you, and I say, "Nick, I don't wanna blindside you."
I love you. I would not do that to you.
Then you try to make a game plan of how we're gonna do this
'cause you don't wanna look bad.
"I don't want you to make me look bad." That's exactly what you said, Nick.
'Cause I knew this was gonna be a grill sesh, right?
-I'm like, "Damn--" -Why do you think you're gonna look bad?
Because you're saying you didn't know me at all.
I don't know who the fuck you are. I can't read your mind. You're not being…
I don't understand you.
Well, this is-- like, this is me right now.
This-- this is me.
[Hannah] Nick's very good at telling people what they wanna hear.
And I feel very manipulated. And I feel very, uh, weak.
I feel like he was so worried about, like, how his friends,
his family and everybody views him,
and, like, how bad he was gonna look
instead of actually trying to, like, focus on just being here with me
and being open and honest.
I just don't know if he's even real.
I think sometimes you have to be real,
and have to be honest, and I'm so real and honest.
Right now, you know that this is not gonna work.
We are not gonna get married.
How do you feel?
Feels like probably, um, one of the worst feelings of my life.
Um…
I don't know. Maybe I could've done a better job of it.
Yeah.
Did you love me? I don't know. Do you care about me? I don't know.
I thought I was good enough for you, and I was wrong the whole time.
I thought you understood me. I was wrong the whole time.
You know, I thought you were ready to get married, and--
-You think I'm not ready to get married? -To me.
I love you, you know?
So it's gonna suck.
It's gonna be one of the hardest times of my life.
-You know? That we couldn't get there. -Yeah.
[snaps fingers] And just for that to be gone like that, it's…
I'll never not think about you. You'll always be in my heart.
I didn't have any ulterior motives coming into this
other than getting married and finding love.
I wish we could have experienced these next couple days.
One week together.
I was willing to give it my all to the last possible second
and then make that decision.
But she felt that if she kept going, I would say no at the altar.
I would never have done that.
I didn't come this far just to come this far.
You know, Kim K. Kim K is in that Drake song.
"I didn't come this far just to come this far."
So, uh, me either, man.
Like, I came this far to get married.
And it makes me feel, you know, shitty that I lost a person,
you know, that I could potentially have loved for the rest of my life.
I think I'm just done trying.
I do love you.
-I love you too. -Okay, you wanna give me a hug?

[Ramses sighs]
I'm a romantic.
I'm really looking forward to that day
and seeing Marissa in her dress walking down the aisle.
-Cheers. -[Marissa] Okay.
Are any of your Guyanese family gonna be at the wedding?
You didn't invite them?
-Um, yeah, no, I didn't… -I can't get out.
I haven't really kept up with them as much as I would like to.
I don't know that very many of them-- well, they probably know, but…
-How would they know? -They follow my ex-wife on Facebook.
Oh, okay.
They were there for, like, my first wedding.
Starting-- starting fresh.
[laughing]
-Hopefully your friggin' last, dude. -[kisses]
No, it's definitely my last.
-Well, this is my first and only. -Yeah?
I don't wanna follow the footsteps of everyone in my family and get a divorce.
Is that something, like, you're scared about?
I definitely think about it because it's such an option in my family.
-Yeah. -I know it's an option for us too.
-I don't really want it to be. -Yeah.
I would be willing to be unhappy
for probably five to seven years before I go for a divorce.
-Five to seven years? Babe! [laughs] -I know that's a long time, but, like…
There's gonna be periods of your life where you're unhappy.
Babe, five to seven years of being unhappy? That's a long time.
Obviously, I've been divorced once, so…
[Marissa] Yeah, so it's scary, because you could easily do it again.
But now it's gonna be completely different.
I understand where your heart is. You want to work through whatever.
But not, like, straight to divorce.
Like, in my family, none of the dads really stuck around.
[Ramses] Yeah.
[Marissa] How you feeling every time you talk to my mom?
Do you feel like she's warming up to you yet?
Um, she does have, like, a good heart.
I think she's just, you know.
It's just so quick, and it's just out of nowhere,
so she's gonna have her, um, like,
hesitations and all that.
But once we get married, I think she'll warm up.
[Marissa] I'm already thinking, "I've gotta get flowers for your mom."
I wanna present her with the present that we got her in Mexico.
Are you thinking about those things with my mom, or do I have to remind you?
You know? I don't wanna have to remind you.
Yeah. That's fair, yeah.
-You don't have to get a gift for my mom. -So that's not the thing.
I wanna get a gift for your mom, but my thing is, like,
since you're thinking a thousand miles an hour.
Like, you're shifting from, "We're gonna do something at the wedding."
"Now, we're not. We're gonna do something when we meet each other."
You're jumping from like--
Well, we are still gonna do something at the wedding.
So now we're--
So a gift for your mom at the dinner is what you wanna do?
You should probably bring her flowers because we didn't the first time.
Okay, yeah.
I'm just-- I need clarity on just, like, where your head is at though.
I don't know. You do what you wanna do.
I'm not gonna tell you to bring something for my mom.
I think you should do what you think you should do in this situation.
Yeah.
You're not telling me to get a gift for your mom.
I'm doing it because I think that's the right thing to do, and I want to.
I get what you're saying in terms of
you shouldn't have to be telling me what to do.
Yeah, and I don't wanna overwhelm you because I know you're feeling overwhelmed.
But at the same time, I'm also having to think about these things too.
And you saw me in that week where I was, like, having a really rough week,
my PMS week and stuff,
but it's just like… even though I'm really stressed,
like, I'm trying to pass law school,
and I'm commuting,
and I'm doing homework and papers and mock trials,
and I'm also doing everything else you're doing, plus the wedding stuff.
It's like… I just think…
It's just, like… [laughs]
-You can say it. I could do more. -Okay.
Or even, like, the registry, or, like, the email about the song
and the lineup.
If I didn't bring it up, would you have thought about it?
Those things are important, but, like… [exhales]
I don't wanna sound like I don't care,
but I feel like I'm just so focused on it right now,
just making sure, like… us, we're good,
And we're, like, everything is working between us.
I guess in my head, I'm prioritizing what's really important.
Like, where does my energies need to go, and it is important,
but it's hard to, like, find the energy
to focus on, like, stuff that
maybe in the moment right now isn't as important.
[Marissa] Yeah, I hate when you say it's not important.
I don't wanna feel like I'm doing it by myself.
No, I get that. Yeah.
Maybe it is me falling into that, like--
No, it is. It's totally you falling into the men thing of, like…
And that's my biggest fear, in just life, not just the wedding stuff,
but, like, having children with a man who I have to carry the mental load.
Like, I don't want-- we talked about that in the pods.
I just don't-- I'm not looking for that in a relationship.
Like, I do apologize if you feel like you've been having to take everything,
like, you know, and handle everything.
-But I hear you though. I hear you. -Okay.
-As long as you hear me. -No, I hear you.
I understand where you're coming from.
I will keep that in mind, baby.
-Yeah, okay. -I will do better.

Skydiving, it's always something I wanted to do prior to getting married.
I just like the idea of taking an actual leap of faith,
metaphorically and actually.
And I think that if me and my significant other can do that together,
then we can tackle anything.
-I'm nervous too. Don't think… -You seem cool, calm, collected.
That's only because I'm not on the plane and getting ready to actually leap out.
When I do, he's gonna have to take me.

-I would go. I would go. -[Tyler] Yeah.
I 100% would go back up. That float was the best float ever.

Not my mama.
I'm telling you, none of my friends, no family could've gotten me to do this.
[laughs] Unless Jesus was like, "I'm gonna take you." That's the only way.
Now you see where I, literally, not my whole life, but probably since…
-You want one of these? -Middle school. Yeah.
I always said, "I'm gonna jump out of a plane with my husband
the day before my wedding."
My mom used to be like, "In case y'all don't make it!" "We're gonna make it."
Yeah, to be that high up and float down and just look at everything, I was like,
"This is the best experience of my life." Seriously.
Until next week.
-Mm-hmm. -See? I wasn't lying in the pods.
-Yeah. -Told you I'd do it.
That was, like, the biggest fear ever.
So for me, jumping out, it was like letting go of a lot of things.
I'm jumping into this life with Ashley.
I just feel like, anything now, we could tackle, like giving birth.
I don't think, like, it's a fear of mine.
It's not for you, but I have to give birth and push a baby out of my vagina.
So that is very nerve-racking for me.
-The scariest thing I'll ever do. -I'll hold your hand like you held mine.
It's less risk for you.
All you gotta do is shoot the club up.
-Whoa! -Literally.
-That's the fun part. -Donate your stuff and then…
Help me through the process.
-I'm not donating. We're married. -Well, not "donate."
-[groans, laughs] Let's not use those… -Yeah.
[laughing]
-All right, now. -Babe!
-Wrong choice of words! -You ain't ruin a good space.
[laughing] Wrong choice of words. Wrong choice of words.
All right, all you have to do is, like, you know, give your stuff.
-To your wife! -I'm not giving. We're sharing.
-We are, but I'm saying-- -"Give your stuff."
You don't have to bear the child. That's a big deal.
So for me, I feel like that would be the scariest thing I ever do.
-If you're there, we could do it. -I'll be there.
If I could have you by my side and know you're gonna support me
and know you're gonna take risks with me,
like, I literally feel like we could do anything.
-Love you. -I love you.

[toilet flushes]
What are you thinking?
[Ramses sighs]
I don't know. It's just a lot.
[inhales]
I honestly don't wanna jump to any, like, rash decisions.
I feel we've been able to, like, figure out our issues.
We've been able to talk through a lot of things.
But this one of those things that, like…
in terms of, like, experiencing,
you know, what it's like to exist together and to live together and all of that.
It's just like,
it'd be different if maybe this was an issue
we were having the whole time, but…
Like…
I told you. Like, I don't question whether I love you or not.
I don't wanna lose you, but it's not just, like, marriage.
It's not just, like, about love. Love is important.
Like, it's hugely important.
But, like, it's not just that. There's other things that have to work.
I don't know.
Like, I don't know what direction to go in.
[Marissa] Don't you see that, like, you talked to some people
and then your mind starts to wonder?
I know it's normal to feel nerves,
but sometimes outside influence is not, like, helpful.
Maybe letting those people get to you, like, they're not here with us.
Like, they did not experience what we experienced together.
Falling in love is a risk. If we get married, like, this is it.
Like, I don't want to do this again. I'm not gonna do this again.
This is it. If it's not this, it's like, there's nothing.
It scares me because divorce isn't something that you wanna do. I don't--
I don't wanna get to a place, down the road, we're getting a divorce.
We have a great future ahead of us.
I wanna marry you.
The risk is that we give our all, and we are super vulnerable.
And I bare my soul to you. You bare your soul to me.
And it doesn't work out.
That is the risk of falling in love. Like, we're all terrified of that.
But that's literally the risk of falling in love, Ramses.
