Love Is Blind 7x12

1. Welcome to Love Is Blind.

2. You'll have the chance to fall in love

3. based solely on who you are on the inside.

4. I want someone who sees me for who I truly am

5. and loves me truly.

6. And I feel like with you, I can, like, fully be me.

7. If you fall in love, you'll get engaged.

8. - Will you marry me? - Absolutely.

9. Will you marry me?

10. I would be honored to marry you, Tyler.

11. I want to know if you will marry me.

12. - Yes. - Yes.

13. Then you'll finally see your fiancé for the very first time.

14. Rams?

15. Oh, my God.

16. - Oh, my God. - Hi.

17. You're so cute!

18. How does it feel to be engaged?

19. Weird.

20. What have I done?

21. Up until now,

22. your attraction's been based entirely in an emotional connection.

23. Hopefully, you turn that emotional connection into a physical one.

24. I didn't think I'd find someone even close to you.

25. Will looks, race, age, family

26. or financial considerations come into play?

27. You were texting a girl

28. that you want to do dirty kinks while you are engaged.

29. Yes.

30. What a selfish piece of shit.

31. You put a ring on my finger.

32. And now it's just, like, taking that away from me.

33. There's nothing more I want in this world than to get there.

34. - I think I'm just done trying. - Well—

35. When do I take off the rose-colored glasses

36. and just, like, see this for what it is?

37. There is no scenario that I see myself standing there

38. and saying yes to making you my wife forever.

39. What I have with Taylor, that is, like, the holy grail of life.

40. - I love you. - Love you too.

41. If I could have you by my side, I feel like we could literally do anything.

42. Do you have any doubts right now about, like, us making it to the end?

43. No.

44. - I love you. - I love you too.

45. If both of our families are not cool with the timeline,

46. does having a wedding make sense?

47. I'm not upset by you trying to help a couple have kids,

48. but they are your kids.

49. I didn't see this coming at all.

50. I don't question, like, whether I love you enough.

51. Don't wanna lose you.

52. It scares me because I don't wanna get to a place

53. where down the road we're getting divorced.

54. But that's literally the risk of falling in love, Ramses.

55. We have a great future ahead of us.

56. I wanna marry you.

57. That's literally the risk of falling in love, Ramses.

58. I understand, like, falling in love is a risk. You're risking heartbreak.

59. I understand that.

60. But last night, I spoke with my niece's mother, LaDallas,

61. and then my brother.

62. We had a conversation about my previous marriage,

63. just talking about this decision.

64. I learned about things, and fuck, like, I just learned that my ex

65. was, like, hurting much more than I realized after that divorce.

66. And, like, I'm just scared that…

67. that something may happen, like,

68. where, like, I end up hurting you.

69. Like, I don't—

70. - I don't— I know that's a risk, but— - Oh, my God! Like, you cannot—

71. It's killing me.

72. We just had a conversation in the jacuzzi

73. about how we have this beautiful thing coming up,

74. and it's very nerve-racking, and it's scary,

75. and there's a lot of people involved and a lot of feelings involved.

76. But ultimately, it's just about you and I.

77. I don't know, after being married and just, like, seeing other marriages

78. and hearing from other married people, like…

79. …I just don't think, like, love alone is enough.

80. Like, I think there needs to be other things that are also working.

81. I think you're right.

82. - Love is super important, but it's— - So we only have love between us?

83. It's not that we only have love between us.

84. We've built an incredible bond, and we have, like…

85. You know, like, this connection is amazing,

86. but it's just, like, there is certain things

87. that, like, you can't get around.

88. Like, the things that you—

89. especially when it comes to, like, living together,

90. and when it comes to just spending our day-to-day together, like,

91. that's, like, crazy important.

92. That's a thing that could, like, potentially, if it's not working well,

93. it can, like, potentially grind us down over time.

94. There is more than love here.

95. I haven't loved the person that I've been seeing,

96. like, especially yesterday, but we talked about that.

97. We talked about you needing your space.

98. And I love you enough to, like, understand what you need

99. and, like, try to meet you.

100. This marriage is a promise and a commitment.

101. And with commitment comes a responsibility of, like,

102. getting through whatever we gotta get through.

103. I'm promising to go through life with you forever.

104. Mm-hmm.

105. Because I think we'll be great together. I do think we are great together.

106. I think you bring out really good characteristics

107. that I don't usually show.

108. And I think that I bring out good characteristics

109. that you don't always show.

110. I've always followed my emotions. I've always followed my feelings.

111. And, like, I do think love is important.

112. My feelings are telling me to move forward, but, like,

113. that's caused me to make some, like, wrong decisions in the past.

114. I don't wanna come back to this moment, "Why was I led by my feelings?"

115. I've told myself time and again, like,

116. "Don't allow yourself to be led completely by your feelings."

117. Like, I need to be more logical about my reasoning, and so, like,

118. I don't wanna get to that point where I'm like,

119. I look back, and I'm just like,

120. "Fuck, I did it again. Like, I fucked up."

121. "I made that same fucking mistake I always do."

122. - But you don't feel that way right now. - What do you mean?

123. Like, you don't feel like you're making a mistake.

124. Up to this point, no, I haven't felt like I've been making a mistake.

125. But now, like, after, again, having these conversations,

126. I feel like there might have been moments

127. or things that I was brushing aside,

128. wasn't giving the priority to that I should have,

129. because they are important.

130. I hear everything you're saying,

131. but, like, I have nothing tangible to work with.

132. There are things you brushed under the rug

133. or thought weren't a big deal, but now are a big deal.

134. - What? Like what? - Just us—

135. Can I know about them?

136. It's about your energy and my energy

137. living and coexisting in the same space is what it is.

138. Is your energy gonna be too much for me or is it gonna, like, make me feel,

139. you know, like, overwhelmed?

140. Is it gonna be, like, too much for me?

141. And it was great. It was fine in Cabo and everything else.

142. But, like, here and every day with when you bring in work,

143. and you bring in just, like, day-to-day stresses or whatever.

144. There's so much going on,

145. and I feel like I didn't have a moment to really, like, just for myself.

146. - End of the day, it's not you. It's me. - But you are literally saying that.

147. I don't want you to think,

148. like, there's something wrong with you or a fault in you.

149. I know there's nothing wrong with me,

150. but, like, you told me you fell in love with me 'cause of who I am.

151. - Yes. - And like…

152. We get to this experience. You're like,

153. "Well, maybe the energy is too much for you."

154. - Like, do you know how that sounds? - I know how that sounds.

155. But in the pods, like, it felt amazing.

156. - I loved feeling your energy. - That's what every guy feels.

157. They love the first months of dating me, 'cause it's great.

158. The energy is just so fucking great.

159. Like, I get it. I've heard that before.

160. Your energy is different from mine, but I haven't seen it as a negative.

161. I've seen it as…

162. There are times where I do need to relax and calm down

163. and just, like, chill on the couch and watch TV.

164. But it's, like, I can envision it.

165. I can literally see it.

166. Why can't you see it?

167. It's like you already know. You've already made up your mind.

168. Like, you already know that, like, I'm too much to live with.

169. - These three weeks is all I have— - You can't see beyond that.

170. You can't see a change beyond that.

171. - I don't wanna make assumptions. - But we're in control of our future.

172. We can't say what that's gonna look like because, it's like, we haven't lived it.

173. I think you should not have come to this experience,

174. because, Ramses, it's very clear that you need to, like, live with someone

175. for a long time before you even marry them.

176. This three weeks would have been enough time.

177. I couldn't anticipate I was gonna arrive at this point,

178. and I wasn't gonna feel like, you know,

179. feel the way that I feel, or…

180. I anticipated it the moment you had the conversations with other people.

181. So…

182. For the first time, I was, like, 100% myself.

183. I feel like I've been the most understanding person.

184. How could I feel so sure and you not, you know?

185. I just, like, want someone to be sure about me.

186. You know?

187. I know.

188. I just want someone to choose me, right?

189. I did fall in love with you for who you are. I did love your energy.

190. Like, all of that was part of the reason why, like, we bonded.

191. At the end of the day, like,

192. we couldn't tell, like, what exactly that would look like in person.

193. I just don't know how you go from how we were

194. two days ago to this.

195. Literally insane.

196. There's nothing, like, left to be said then.

197. It's the worst day of my life.

198. I'm sorry.

199. I'm so sorry.

200. Are you sure?

201. Are you sure?

202. I'm so sorry.

203. No!

204. Are you sure?

205. This already fucking hurts me so much.

206. You came unsure so fast.

207. It doesn't feel real.

208. It feels like it just came out of nowhere.

209. You know? It's like… it's—

210. How do you become so unsure so fast?

211. It's not that I'm unsure about my love for you.

212. - It's just I'm unsure about us. - About marrying me!

213. We're supposed to both go into this, like, fully sure of this decision.

214. I think you're making a mistake. I think this is a big mistake.

215. I believe that wholeheartedly.

216. And I— I just can't convince you otherwise.

217. Like, I don't know, but I just know this is not right.

218. Like, this is not right.

219. This is like the worst heartbreak I've ever experienced.

220. It hurts so bad.

221. I just feel like…

222. I feel like I'm dying inside.

223. Like, I'm just… I don't know.

224. I just… I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

225. Um…

226. Two days ago, he told me that he's so excited to get married,

227. and we picked out our first dance song.

228. He got emotional because he was, just,

229. like, envisioning us getting married.

230. And, like, we both got emotional 'cause we were like, "It's actually happening."

231. And so it's just really hard for me

232. to come to the conclusion that we're done.

233. I feel insane.

234. I feel crazy because I feel like,

235. "Did I make it all up in my head?"

236. - Hello.

237. Are you okay?

238. No, we called off the wedding.

239. What?

240. And I didn't see it coming.

241. How am I supposed to not have him around

242. and not be with him when I love him so much?

243. Oh, my God.

244. Mom, it hurts so bad.

245. Like…

246. Oh, my God.

247. It just hurts.

248. Make some noise for your Washington Wizards.

249. Oh, my God.

250. - That's dope. - Crazy.

251. Going to my bachelor party, I'm ready to celebrate with my boys.

252. I haven't been to a Wizards game since I was a little kid.

253. I sat way up in the upper seats, and now we get this suite.

254. We're here with all our closest friends. It's a cool-ass bachelor party.

255. There's one. Hell yeah.

256. That looked like me!

257. We're days away from our wedding.

258. This is my last pretty much single time partying.

259. I love basketball, and we're about to have a good time.

260. Cheers to getting married, dawg!

261. - Cheers, boys. - Cheers.

262. Congratulations!

263. Oh, I knew it was a pajama party!

264. - That is so… - It's so pretty!

265. Aww!

266. Hi!

267. - You look so cute! - You too!

268. Oh, my God, this is adorable.

269. You all mean so much to us. That's why you're here.

270. - The most. - The mostest.

271. Thank you for celebrating with us. We are engaged AF.

272. - Love to see it. - Love that for us.

273. - We were besties in the pods, besties now. - Yes.

274. - So to be the last two standing is crazy. - I love you.

275. It's really crazy. I'm very happy to have you here.

276. - Same. I love you. - I love you too.

277. - Cheers! - Here's to y'all!

278. Happy bachelorette, baby!

279. At this time, will Garrett Josemans and Tyler Francis

280. please make their way to the courtside entrance?

281. Oh, shit, on the floor? Are we in trouble?

282. - Can you explain the game to them? - Yeah, of course.

283. We're just gonna be playing musical chairs in the center of the court.

284. - But with basketball. - In the center of the court.

285. When the music stops, you're gonna dribble down the court,

286. try and make a layup,

287. and first one back to the chair after you make the layup gets the chair.

288. - Keep going until there's no more chairs. - Dribble, layup, chair. All right.

289. - He's cute, isn't he? - Uh-huh.

290. I get it all the time.

291. - Oh! - Sorry. Is it halftime already?

292. - Check me out, G-baby. - Gonna stretch before I pull something.

293. Please welcome,

294. from Netflix's Love Is Blind, Garrett and Tyler.

295. Let's go!

296. I don't like to lose, and I won't lose in basketball, for sure.

297. Definitely not to Garrett.

298. He's a cheater, man!

299. Who's gonna get a chair? G, don't cheat.

300. They're going for the same basket over here!

301. Tyler makes the play. Garrett's gotta make it.

302. Get the chair!

303. Big science guy.

304. Garrett's out.

305. You let us down.

306. G-Wiz or Tyler? Make a layup!

307. Gotta make a layup.

308. Cheer him on, DC family!

309. Let's go!

310. Tyler, congratulations.

311. You're winning this autographed basketball.

312. That was fun. I came in behind you, I was like, "No! I can't make it!"

313. You went to the same court. I was like, "What are you doing?"

314. This has by far exceeded expectations.

315. The bachelor party in my head was go out, a few drinks,

316. not getting to go in front of thousands of people and do layups.

317. It's so dope.

318. Yo!

319. Yo, are y'all even friends after that anymore? God damn!

320. I whooped his ass.

321. - Unfortunately, I got that on video. - He's my new friend.

322. Wait, it didn't go yet.

323. Nice.

324. Very nice.

325. Ashley and I are very strong women.

326. That if something comes up that would've been a nonnegotiable thing before,

327. we would have just, like…

328. - Immediately. - Walked away. Immediately done.

329. Like, my go-to thing is I delete all of our text messages.

330. I delete your number.

331. - I pretend like they died. - Yeah.

332. - That's the best way. - They are no longer with us.

333. And so I think for this, it's very fast moving.

334. - Yeah. - So we have to give a lot more grace.

335. A lot more grace to ourselves.

336. To ourselves, and, like, when our men mess up.

337. They're still men. They're gonna mess up.

338. Hey, hey, hey!

339. - The I Do Crew. - The I Do Crew!

340. - Love you, girls. - Love you, guys.

341. Thank you so much.

342. Stunning.

343. I am getting married.

344. So cute!

345. Just knowing that this is the day I've waited for, you know,

346. since I was a kid, it's just so crazy to me.

347. I'm a bride.

348. I always dreamt about my wedding.

349. I obviously didn't dream about it in this scenario,

350. but I'm actually living my own fairy tale.

351. I've got my peonies, my hydrangeas.

352. "To Ashley from Tyler."

353. Oh, my goodness.

354. So sweet.

355. So special. Just like…

356. Oh! Tyler's ring!

357. I'm literally getting married.

358. All right.

359. Today is my wedding day, and I'm feeling all types of nerves.

360. I didn't sleep at all last night, actually.

361. This is probably going to be the biggest day of my life.

362. In the corner reading a book? This is the biggest day of your life.

363. I've overcome so much throughout my life,

364. mentally, physically and with Ashley,

365. just felt like love coming through a wall.

366. "Tyler…"

367. "You deserve love more than anyone I've ever met."

368. "I don't wanna question it for another second."

369. Ashley, I love you so much.

370. Will you marry me?

371. I would be honored to marry you, Tyler.

372. Mm.

373. Whoo! Get off!

374. Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, you're my best friend. You're, like, my soulmate.

375. Just a great person in general.

376. She's the most beautiful person in the world.

377. Can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her. Ashley is everything.

378. I'm trippin', dawg. You're really about to get married, bro. This shit is crazy!

379. - That's hitting you now? We're used to Gangster Ty.

380. Gangster Ty? "Fuck love!"

381. "I ain't getting no married!"

382. Hey, I don't know what kind of kiss she done gave you, hugs.

383. It had to be something, dawg.

384. Let me be happy, dawg.

385. Ty been wanting love his whole life.

386. So when y'all get out of here, what y'all got planned?

387. The wedding, then there's a reception.

388. But after all of us, all of us leave, where y'all going?

389. - To the baby-making station. - Down to pound town.

390. - You trying to have a baby? - See how he started smiling?

391. You trying to have a baby soon?

392. She does. In, like, a year.

393. My boy in love, dawg.

394. Hi.

395. Oh, my gosh.

396. - Oh, my God! You look so cute!

397. - Hi. - Oh, my God, you guys!

398. - Princess! Oh, my gosh!

399. You guys just made it feel so much more real.

400. Oh, my God!

401. - Look at you getting ready. I know! Hi, hi, hi!

402. I brought you a gift. I can't wait for you to see it.

403. Oh, my gosh.

404. - You should open it now. - Okay.

405. What the— wait, this is stunning.

406. It's a robe.

407. - Wait, what? Yes.

408. - Sexy time. - Yeah!

409. That's the tea.

410. - I wanted to know, like, did you try? - Yeah.

411. - Oh, yeah, girl, we tried. - You got to.

412. I love this. I'm obsessed. Thank you so much. I need to hang it.

413. If anybody deserves it, girl, you deserve it.

414. - Absolutely. - Absolutely.

415. - Thank you. - Abso-fucking-lutely.

416. Are you ready?

417. Um, you know… You know me. I'm a relationship girl.

418. I just thought I would reach this point a while ago.

419. Then it looked like I wouldn't reach this point for a while.

420. You know, because the quality of men ain't…

421. - Slim pickings. - Okay?

422. - We're on the clearance rack. Listen. - Clearance rack.

423. - We plucking. Literally. - Literally.

424. So now I'm just like,

425. I like that I found someone that loves as hard as I do.

426. I feel safe.

427. - Yeah. - The protecting physically is, like, cool.

428. But, like, I feel protected emotionally,

429. which is the most vulnerable part of myself

430. that I don't share with everyone, so…

431. I love that.

432. So, wait, are you the big spoon, and he's the little spoon?

433. Like, how is that?

434. He's big in areas, and I'm big in areas.

435. And the one thing I always tell people I love about him is that

436. he allows me to be powerful.

437. I don't wanna be put in this little box. I don't wanna be put in the kitchen.

438. I have a career. I'm successful.

439. - Who cooks? You or him? - Both.

440. - I love that. - My ex couldn't boil an egg.

441. Literally. He does a lot.

442. Every day he wakes up and gets me coffee, every single day.

443. Let me tell you that the beginning stages, all of that is…

444. - Look, she knows. - Mm-hmm.

445. - It's not they don't love you, you know. - No, yeah. But he likes to be that way.

446. He likes to do for me.

447. I don't ask him to get me coffee. He just started doing it.

448. He won't continue all habits, especially once we have kids,

449. but I genuinely feel like he is just a lover.

450. This man is willing to leap out of planes for you, girl.

451. Yeah, literally.

452. You can't even make a man go to 7-Eleven for you, get you a soda.

453. - I can't wait to meet him. - Yeah.

454. I can't wait to, like, see when he sees you come down the aisle.

455. I know, right?

456. You deserve it, like, so much.

457. I know Ashley. If she's gonna say yes, she's sure.

458. The only thing that could make me not say yes

459. is for something catastrophic to happen within the next few hours.

460. It would have to be as me walking down the aisle,

461. something on his face, something that I'm like…

462. - Like you feel it. Yeah. - I feel.

463. - My intuition is insane. - Right.

464. That boy's gonna be bawling while you're walking down the aisle.

465. He's gonna be crying.

466. From what she's telling me, he's been waiting for this moment.

467. Yeah, for sure.

468. Here's the thing. It's an actual leap of faith.

469. - No, 110%. - I am diving in.

470. I'm trusting this person 180% to protect me, to care for me,

471. for me to do the same. And it's a leap of faith.

472. But leaps of faith don't always mean that you know the outcome.

473. Today's the day.

474. - Yeah, nervous as shit. - I can tell.

475. - My hands are cold as shit. Yeah. Are they?

476. - God damn, bro. - Yeah.

477. What the hell?

478. This happened so fast. You know what I mean? Like, two months ago.

479. Two years in our minds.

480. - That's what it feels like? - Yeah.

481. - How do you guys feel about it though? - I think we're good.

482. You "think"? That's a key word there.

483. I mean, you always… I'm not 100% until she says yes.

484. - I don't know. I'm 100%. Yeah. - You're 100%.

485. You don't know if she's 100%?

486. No, I would definitely think that she's 100%.

487. It's just you can never be certain about things.

488. Not until they happen.

489. You know, we've talked about it.

490. This whole concept from the get-go was kind of wild to me.

491. Right? Personally.

492. I gotta be honest. I'm excited for you.

493. I hope this shit works out.

494. I really do because I see it.

495. I see in your mannerisms, in the way you talk,

496. in the way that you've been, you know, acting, in general.

497. Like, you're all in.

498. - Right? - Not a doubt in my mind.

499. I want her to hear what I gotta say. I'm just ready to see her.

500. Is your dad coming, Ash?

501. Yeah, he's gonna walk me down the aisle. At the end, he'll hand me to my mom.

502. - My mom will hand me to Tyler. - How you think he's gonna feel?

503. Hey, you lucky you're here, brother.

504. We have a great relationship now, but my mom did the heavy lifting.

505. - No, I was surprised you even said that. - Yeah.

506. Yeah, he met Tyler. He cried.

507. Aww.

508. - So he likes him for you? - Yeah.

509. This is not a drill.

510. James Bond is walking down the aisle.

511. Butterflies is kicking in.

512. I was nervous, but now it feels like, "God damn."

513. - "We're here." What's up? Yeah.

514. My stomach hurts now. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster.

515. You're good. Take these shots real quick.

516. Free throws, you better end this game.

517. Appreciate y'all boys coming here today to celebrate this with me.

518. - Love y'all boys. Appreciate y'all. - Love you, brother.

519. - Love you, man. I'm excited. - Let's go.

520. Let's go.

521. Oh, can we go glasses? I don't wanna cry in front of everybody.

522. I'm taking my glasses just in case.

523. Oh, my gosh. She looks so good.

524. - You look so beautiful. - It fits you so good.

525. So beautiful.

526. I remember when you were a little baby.

527. You had a little pink dress, did your hair with a little pink bow,

528. and I put toenail polish on you.

529. Our perfect princess.

530. Can you believe it?

531. The key to the whole thing is following your heart.

532. And it will bring you to your true destination.

533. - And it has. - Yep.

534. - Yes, it has. - I'm nervous. Don't ask me something else.

535. You each mean a lot to me.

536. And obviously, my mom and my grandma, and the leading ladies in my life.

537. It's a blessing to be able to have this moment and to share this moment

538. that some people don't get to, you know, share with their loved ones, so…

539. Um… yeah, I'm just really happy.

540. And we're happy to be here for your happiness.

541. We all knew that this day was gonna come.

542. - Yeah. - For sure.

543. - Never had any doubt. - Yeah.

544. Sometimes we hit bumps in the road, but once we get there,

545. this is the result.

546. Tyler is gonna shed tears when he sees you.

547. - He has to. - Beautiful young lady.

548. You look absolutely…

549. Stunning. Yes.

550. I don't think there's words for how you look.

551. - You look so beautiful. - Thank you. Thank you.

552. I've always said I wanna get married and stay married.

553. - Right. - And I want a happy marriage.

554. Someone that was gonna be my friend, my partner,

555. that I was sure of, and that I could trust.

556. As much as I love Pop, you know,

557. I learned, just from watching,

558. the things I want and the things I didn't want.

559. There were great things, like the longevity you guys had

560. that no one could take from you, that I want.

561. Mm-hmm.

562. But I want someone that I can enjoy, and that's my friend

563. and my partner and that doesn't leave me doing things alone.

564. Exactly.

565. It was Pop's death that led me to building my relationship with my father.

566. I was like, "I don't want to leave any stones unturned in that scenario either."

567. And that's when I began to appreciate my father

568. "for who he is," versus what I wanted him to be.

569. With that, um, I'm able to still find the good in him.

570. "What do I look up to him for?"

571. But he has other things I can look up to him for.

572. - He's done very well. - Very well.

573. I admire him for that aspect.

574. But I knew one thing for sure is I didn't want any man

575. that was going to

576. treat me like he's treated women and my mom.

577. You always craved that friendship.

578. - You know what I mean? - Mm-hmm.

579. We're human. We all make mistakes.

580. Instead of being angry and holding on to past feelings,

581. you chose to heal.

582. - Mm-hmm. - And you chose to forgive.

583. Look how healed you are.

584. Look where your journey has taken you.

585. - You're about to be married. - Yeah.

586. I'm very, very, very proud of you, Ashley.

587. - I love you, guys. - I'm so super happy.

588. Hey.

589. Don't be stressed.

590. What's wrong?

591. Hmm?

592. - Just nervous? - Yep.

593. You're good.

594. Just…

595. You're not feeling that 'cause you're second-guessing?

596. No, I'm not second-guessing. Yeah, I just…

597. - My emotions are all over the place. - Yeah.

598. - It's a big step, Tyler. - Yeah.

599. What's going on? Just your nerves?

600. Yeah.

601. You're fine, honey. You're fine.

602. - No, it's just a lot. - I know.

603. I know.

604. But I've only heard you say, like, amazing stuff about her.

605. You know? I don't think it's… I think it's normal.

606. - It's just normal jitters, and… - Yeah.

607. I've asked you how many times already.

608. - "Are you sure? Are you sure?" - Yeah.

609. You're definitely sure, right?

610. I'mma be in shambles when she comes out.

611. You better get it together.

612. I can't. I've been trying.

613. My palms are sweating.

614. You're gonna be fine.

615. You're gonna be fine. You love her.

616. You know what I mean?

617. You've never said once you weren't sure.

618. Yeah, but…

619. - But what? - Through a wall, you know?

620. - I know that's just crazy to me. - Yeah.

621. You've always done the outside part.

622. I know. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I think we'll be good.

623. Big step, Tyler.

624. You still okay with, like, not inviting your dad?

625. Yeah, I thought about that this morning, like, him not being here.

626. Again, only because I was like,

627. "He's probably sitting at home, like, 'Damn, I'm dying, and I don't get to go.'"

628. But…

629. He put that on himself though. Like, I couldn't…

630. There's no way I can be emotional, I guess, around him.

631. - Yeah, it's like a stranger. - That's a random, grown man.

632. - This is your day. I think it's fine. - Yeah.

633. But even Grandma said it, like, "I'm glad he didn't." You know?

634. - Come? - Yeah.

635. - We talked about it on the way up. - She knows.

636. She does. He has to blame himself for that.

637. I'm ready though.

638. I know you are. I know you are.

639. You deserve to be happy. You've always gave, gave, gave so much.

640. You know what I mean? It's your turn. You definitely deserve this.

641. This is actually really nice.

642. Everybody's looking at us.

643. Hell yeah.

644. This is you, Mama.

645. Thanks.

646. Go ahead, handsome.

647. Thank you.

648. He's so nervous.

649. Aww.

650. Oh, wow.

651. I love you so much.

652. Love you too.

653. - You look so beautiful. - Thank you.

654. - Jeez. - Aww.

655. It's happening.

656. You imagine these days, but to see it.

657. - Yeah. - She's my only daughter.

658. - You made me so proud. - Thank you.

659. So proud of you.

660. Your life's about to change.

661. - Yeah. - You know? A lot of ways.

662. - I believe that. Yeah, yeah. - It's gonna be fun.

663. Life is fun.

664. - Yeah. - Always look at the positive side.

665. There's always negative, but don't dwell on the negative.

666. - Thrive and enjoy the positive side. - Mm-hmm.

667. - That's what got me through life. - Yeah.

668. Because, um, you know,

669. it's the bad weather that makes you appreciate the good weather.

670. That's so true. That's good.

671. - And a lot of us run when it gets bad. - Hmm.

672. Yeah.

673. And then later on, we look down and be like, "Ooh, I should have stayed."

674. Mm-hmm.

675. So when it gets bad,

676. just know there's always bright skies after the rain.

677. - Yeah, sure. - It's a journey.

678. - Yeah. - It's a journey.

679. - You have to stick in it. - I will.

680. - Good or bad, you have to stick in it. - Yeah. Yeah.

681. I love you, and I'm...

682. - I love you. - I love you too. Thank you.

683. Okay, let's do this.

684. Let's do it.

685. Will everyone who is able please rise for the bride?

686. Oh, my God.

687. - Can't be turning back now. - I know.

688. - I love you. - I love you.

689. Thank you.

690. Thank you so much, Mom!

691. I ask today who presents this bride to be married?

692. - Her mother. - Thank you.

693. Everyone may be seated.

694. - All right. - You look great.

695. - You look amazing. - Thank you.

696. Could everyone please bow your heads for a prayer?

697. "Heavenly Father, we come before you today

698. to celebrate and witness the union of Ashley and Tyler in holy matrimony."

699. "We thank you for bringing Ashley and Tyler together."

700. "Today, as they stand before you and their loved ones,

701. we ask your blessings upon them."

702. "We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen."

703. - Amen. - Amen.

704. "There are no perfect marriages because there are no perfect people."

705. "There will be obstacles."

706. "There will be loss, and there will be hardships."

707. "There will be joy."

708. "There will be much laughter."

709. "There will be somebody to hold your hand and lift you up."

710. "Remember that love isn't something you feel."

711. "Love is something that you do."

712. "But if you work at it every day,

713. you will have your shot at a happily ever after."

714. "And I believe that Tyler and Ashley will have just that."

715. - Ooh! - Mm!

716. "Ashley, from the moment I heard your voice,

717. I knew there was something special about you."

718. "You've become my confidant, my joy and my greatest adventure."

719. Whew.

720. "You've shown me what love truly is."

721. "I promise to cherish every moment, support your dreams

722. and embrace the beautiful unknown that lies ahead."

723. "With you, every day is a new chapter,

724. and I can't wait to fill the pages of our love story together."

725. "I commit to building a future filled with laughter, understanding and joy."

726. "As we embark on this journey together, I pledge my heart,

727. my loyalty and my deepest love to you."

728. "I promise to love you, keep God at the center of our lives

729. and continue to keep taking these leaps of faith with you."

730. I love you.

731. Oh, Lord.

732. "Tyler."

733. "My Tyler."

734. "The man who makes me feel soft, adored

735. and protected, heart and body."

736. "I've never felt a love this pure, yet fierce."

737. "I feel like we can do anything in life as long as we have each other."

738. "I feel like I'm living in my own fairy tale."

739. "You're my soulmate."

740. "I think the Lord created you just for me."

741. "From symbolic leaps to emotional leaps,

742. you've showed me every time that you're there for me."

743. "You literally jumped out of a plane for me,

744. and you're afraid of heights, which is nuts."

745. "But you didn't fold."

746. "And I love you for that, for always making sure I know you have my back."

747. "With that, I promise to love and respect you as my best friend…"

748. "…my future, and my partner in life."

749. "It's you and I."

750. Ashley, Ashley, Ashley.

751. "So, Ashley and Tyler, you chose to get engaged

752. and spend your lives together based on a deep emotional connection."

753. "Looks, age,

754. finances and all the superficial things of the world

755. were not a factor for you two."

756. "Now is the time to decide if love is blind."

757. "Will you get married and commit to face life together

758. as husband and wife, or will you walk away forever?"

759. "Tyler, do you take Ashley to be your wife,

760. to have and to hold from this day forward?"

761. "For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer,

762. in sickness and in health,

763. do you promise to love and cherish her till death do you part?"

764. I do.

765. "Ashley, do you take Tyler to be your husband,

766. to have and to hold from this day forward?"

767. "For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer,

768. in sickness and in health,

769. do you promise to love and cherish him until death do you part?"

770. I do.

771. - With this ring, I marry you. - I marry you.

772. "I now pronounce you officially married. You are now husband and wife."

773. You may kiss your bride!

774. Oh, my God! We're married!

775. Can you believe this?

776. Oh, yeah.

777. You a married woman!

778. I'm married now.

779. I's married now!

780. "So we're gonna end this ceremony with the African tradition

781. of jumping the broom."

782. "During the days of slavery in this country,

783. Tyler and Ashley would have not been permitted to marry."

784. "Jumping a broom was a formal and public declaration

785. of the couple's commitment to one another,

786. sweeping away all the negative energy

787. and making for all things that are good to come into your lives."

788. "So Tyler and Ashley will now begin their life with a clean sweep."

789. - One, two… - Okay.

790. Three.

791. All right, it is now my privilege to introduce to you

792. for the very first time

793. Mr. and Mrs. Tyler and Ashley Francis!

794. Let's go!

795. Oh, my God, you guys!

796. - Whew! - Oh, my God.

797. I'm so happy for you.

798. Ah!

799. - Whoo-hoo! - Whoo!

800. Hello, my name is Ashley Adionser-Francis.

801. Say it again.

802. - She got a husband. - I have a husband.

803. - You have a wife. - I do.

804. Can you believe this?

805. We are married!

806. - We made it. - We made it.

807. I'm so excited. I feel like all the nerves that I felt now are just gone.

808. Yeah. I'm floating.

809. I'm really—

810. - I can't stop smiling. My cheeks hurt. - Best feeling in the world.

811. Mm-mm-mm!

812. - I love you. - I love you.

813. Whoo!

814. Cheers to us.

815. To a fun future of love and happiness.

816. - Yeah. We're married. - We're married.

817. Babe, look at my shoes. You don't even realize.

818. You can't see, but it says, "I do."

819. - On the bottom? Oh! - How crazy, right?

820. I wish you would've shown me that this morning.

821. We started this journey two months ago, and it's changed our entire lives.

822. Yeah.

823. Now we get to spend the rest of our lives together.

824. Two people on the other side of a wall.

825. You look cute.

826. Well, you look great. You married.

827. Mm-hmm.

828. I'm looking forward to daily simple things with you.

829. Just little things that makes her happy, weekly, monthly.

830. Then that builds up. And then before we know it…

831. - Kids? - Yeah.

832. - Yeah, I'm fine with that. - Babies.

833. - I love you. - I love you more.

834. You a married man.

835. - You a married woman. - I sure am.

836. I sure am. I love it.

837. Oh, my God!

838. So cute.

839. Today's the day.

840. Aah!

841. I'm so happy. Um, yeah.

842. I'm gonna cry a lot today. I can tell. Like, happy tears.

843. It has been a wild ride.

844. I actually specialize in something called clean hydrogen energy.

845. I have a little hydrogen tattoo on my wrist.

846. Yes! That's cool.

847. I've got a quantum equation on the back of my right arm.

848. - No way. What is it? - Yeah. Uncertainty principle.

849. - Oh! Heisenberg. - Mm-hmm.

850. Okay, you're never gonna know where I am then.

851. Yeah, exactly.

852. I have no idea what you look like. I have no idea.

853. But I feel a very strong, like, intimate connection with you already.

854. I feel it too. It's, like, magnetic.

855. It's crazy.

856. When it comes to you, Garrett, I think we could have it all.

857. I didn't think that was possible before coming in here.

858. Taylor Morgan Krause, will you marry me?

859. Absolutely.

860. - I gotta see the tattoo. - Let me see yours.

861. - It's a little hydrogen molecule. - Oh, my God!

862. I'm willing and ready to, like, change my life for you.

863. - We're really lucky, aren't we? - You're the best catch of them all.

864. I love everything about Garrett.

865. He's thoughtful and generous and kind.

866. I dream of him playing with our kids.

867. He's coaching a little league team, and I'm bringing all the snacks.

868. Oh, my goodness.

869. It's happening.

870. I see us, like, being grandparents together,

871. and I see a forever future.

872. I'm just so excited, and I'm so happy.

873. Mom!

874. Hi!

875. - Hello! Serena! Darpan!

876. Hey!

877. Oh, my God!

878. I've never gotten my hair and makeup, like, done-done before.

879. - Really? - No!

880. - What is in that cup? - Mom!

881. - I am ready to party!

882. Where's that champagne?

883. Yeah, baby.

884. - Opa! - Already?

885. It's wedding day.

886. It's my wedding day. My wedding day. It's kind of a surprise.

887. How did I get here?

888. - Oh, jeez. Look who it is.

889. - What do we have? What are you doing?

890. What's up, bud?

891. - What's up, man? Good to see you, man. - Y'all with the green.

892. - Did y'all match? Did y'all do that again? - Planned.

893. Yeah, that's the vibe, dude.

894. - Big day. - Is it?

895. Apparently. For somebody.

896. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It feels pretty crazy.

897. I was super tired last night

898. and just sat there thinking and talking to family.

899. I talked to my parents forever last night.

900. How's the climate with the parents?

901. It's good. I think it's good.

902. All right, yeah.

903. - This is really heavy. - So, room for improvement?

904. - It's just really heavy. - Yeah.

905. It's just a lot. It's just so much, you know? It's just a heavy-ass decision.

906. My wedding day was like…

907. And I had known Shelby for, like, quite a bit longer than you've known Taylor.

908. - Yeah. - But, dude, nerves all day.

909. - All day. Just a lot of feelings, man. - Yeah.

910. - So… - Yeah.

911. And I feel it. I just feel it. I'm still checking myself

912. and like, "Are you sure?" I'm really, like, inspecting my feelings.

913. - Yeah. - I've been doing this all along.

914. Inspecting my feelings every day. We owe that to one another.

915. We promised each other we would, and we wouldn't get up here and say yes

916. unless we truly, truly meant it.

917. And so that's what I'm making sure, that I do right by her.

918. - Yeah. - By making sure.

919. Compliments of Mercy Hospital Medical Center.

920. The hospital I was born in. "The magic hanky."

921. "I'm just a little hanky, as square as square can be."

922. "But with a stitch or two, they made a bonnet out of me."

923. Mom.

924. "For her special wedding day, so we've all been told,

925. every well-dressed bride must carry something old."

926. "So what could be more fitting than to bring out little me,

927. with stitches snipped and ribbons pulled, a wedding hanky I will be."

928. Aww, Mom.

929. - You've kept this for how long? - How old are you?

930. Since the day you were born, Taylor.

931. Aww, Mom, thank you. I love you.

932. I love you too.

933. It's been hiding in the back of my closet, waiting.

934. Waiting for this day.

935. Isn't that cute?

936. Put it on!

937. Aww.

938. Thank you. I love you so much.

939. There he is. Oh, man, look at you.

940. - Mr. Krause. You cleaned up pretty nicely.

941. Likewise.

942. - How you doing? - Excellent.

943. Will you give me a hand with something, actually?

944. Do you know how to tie a pocket square? Or help me out with this bow tie?

945. I can help with the bow tie.

946. - Pocket square, I have no skill set of. - Then let's try the bow tie.

947. - You wanna give it a shot? - Yeah, I can do it.

948. I think I've even already screwed it up. No, it's good. Cool.

949. - Where's Fong when we need her? - Seriously.

950. How does that feel? I can go tighter.

951. No, let's take a look at the mirror real quick. I think It feels good though.

952. Can you drop these down? How does the neck look?

953. Just tuck it down a little bit, and I think we're in good shape.

954. I wish I could say I remember my day 35 years ago, but I was pretty hammered.

955. Yeah, this is— this is wild.

956. I, like, um…

957. I feel how big this decision is today.

958. It feels so, so, so heavy.

959. There's no way in the world that I could go through with this

960. and get up there, and say yes to Taylor if I wasn't so sure

961. about her and how great she is.

962. I mean, she's an amazing person. I don't have to convince you, obviously.

963. And it feels so right. And it feels so good.

964. And I couldn't go through with this with anyone else.

965. I love your daughter.

966. I'll tell you what. Fong is very intuitive.

967. Fong's kinda quiet, but she reads people spot on,

968. and if there was something weird or strange about any of this,

969. she would have said something.

970. - Yeah, good. - It's not.

971. I knew my daughter was gonna get married someday to a great guy like you.

972. I had no doubt about it.

973. I just didn't think it was gonna happen in a matter of weeks.

974. Normally, it's, like, a couple years maybe, you know?

975. But if you're in love, you're in love.

976. I mean, you can't make that up.

977. It was a huge thing for us to see you guys,

978. be able to talk to you and shake your hand and ask you

979. for your permission. It was big for us.

980. One thing that really hit me is you said Taylor's like your gift to the world.

981. My job isn't to receive that gift, but to accentuate it

982. and to help her be the best person she can be,

983. because she's already great. She's always gonna be great.

984. My job is just to just be there for her and support her

985. and make sure she fulfills, like, who she should be and who she wants to be.

986. I promise to take great care of her.

987. I promise to be there for her and always respect her and put her feelings first.

988. That's what I plan to do, so…

989. I don't doubt it. I don't doubt it.

990. You have more than my blessing.

991. You have my undivided attention

992. anytime, anywhere on this planet.

993. If you ever need anything, Fong and I are there for you and Taylor.

994. It doesn't matter where you made that connection.

995. You and Taylor have kind of gone through

996. those tough conversations.

997. Um, because, you know, marriage, there's a tough day coming, you know?

998. This is my brother's tie.

999. And Taylor was with me when my brother died.

1000. And, you know, for two weeks,

1001. she was there with me.

1002. And she'll do the same for you.

1003. And, you know, life will have its challenges.

1004. And so having the right partner…

1005. You know, and Fong kept the family together.

1006. And, you know, it will happen.

1007. There's no doubt about it.

1008. I had eight groomsmen, and I have four left.

1009. One of my good buddies passed away last month.

1010. So we have to be there for our friends

1011. and our family when they need us.

1012. Um, so it's not, you know, it's not always gonna be fun and games.

1013. There will be tough times.

1014. - Yeah. - But you'll get through it.

1015. I appreciate it. I appreciate you being here.

1016. I know she appreciates you being here. You being here means so much to Taylor.

1017. It means so much to Taylor that you're here and gonna walk her down the aisle.

1018. I got a happy wife. I got a happy daughter.

1019. Got a killer son-in-law coming in.

1020. Yeah. It's all good.

1021. - I appreciate it. - It doesn't get any better.

1022. Thank you.

1023. I love you, man. Sorry I couldn't help with the pocket square.

1024. No, it's good.

1025. Looks just beautiful.

1026. Hi!

1027. It's beautiful!

1028. Oh, my God, the veil goes perfect.

1029. Thanks, guys.

1030. Aww.

1031. You guys look beautiful too. Oh, my goodness.

1032. - It actually, like, goes so nicely. - So well.

1033. Oh, my gosh.

1034. - This dress is beautiful. - Wow.

1035. Wow.

1036. - Aww. - You look stunning, Taylor.

1037. It's happening.

1038. - Hi, Dad. - Hey, honey. Look at you.

1039. Mm!

1040. My beautiful daughter.

1041. - Thank you. You guys are matching! - Yeah, kind of, huh?

1042. - How was seeing Garrett? - Awesome. I helped him with his bow tie.

1043. - You did? - Yeah, yeah.

1044. Good. How are you feeling?

1045. I'm so excited for you guys.

1046. - You know what today is, right? - Today is the 13th.

1047. How about that? What a coincidence.

1048. What a coincidence that you guys also got married on the 13th.

1049. - That's right. - All good signs.

1050. This is definitely not the way I thought it was gonna go,

1051. but I'm so happy.

1052. And when something just, like, presents itself like this,

1053. like, sometimes you just have to jump.

1054. I'm jumping, and I'm trusting that Garrett's going to catch me.

1055. And even if not,

1056. I know that I have an incredible…

1057. …safety net that will.

1058. So I'm really happy,

1059. and I just, like, love that you guys are so supportive

1060. and can be here with me today.

1061. I haven't seen your mom this happy in a long time.

1062. I'm glad you're so happy, Mom.

1063. My little girl's getting married to a great guy.

1064. To a really great guy.

1065. - It's pretty frickin' awesome. - It is.

1066. - Pretty frickin' awesome is right. - It's pretty awesome.

1067. I'm so lucky.

1068. - Oh, I love you guys. - Love you too.

1069. - Oh, group hug. - Oh, Mom.

1070. - That's you too, Tom. Group hug. - Oh, sorry.

1071. - Good, man. How are you? - I need a pocket square. Help me out.

1072. - Fold it up. - But make it look good.

1073. - How was the chat with Mr. Krause? - It was good.

1074. I can't believe how, like, supportive.

1075. Oh, that's awesome. That's great.

1076. It means a lot.

1077. - That's good. - It's huge.

1078. Is this the Joseman wedding party?

1079. I believe so. Now that you two have arrived it is.

1080. - Aww. - You look good.

1081. - You feel good. I like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1082. Yes! I like that.

1083. - Now, look at you! This old thing? - Yeah! See? I clean up all right.

1084. You want water or a beer?

1085. - Nothing stronger, huh? - No whiskey.

1086. - I don't think so. - So how you doing?

1087. I'm feeling lighter now, but this morning it was very heavy.

1088. - What do you mean? - Um, the whole— it's a big day.

1089. It is a big day. It is a very big day.

1090. It's an important decision. One of the biggest ones you'll ever make.

1091. - The weight of it was— - You're overwhelmed.

1092. It's a shock for everybody.

1093. To all of the people closest to you, it is kind of hard to imagine

1094. that you would make such a decision, a weighted decision so fast.

1095. - Quickly, yeah. - Yeah.

1096. I know you guys haven't spent much time with her, but you will.

1097. She's brilliant, and she's very logical and considerate.

1098. - What the hell is she doing with you then? - Yeah.

1099. - So you're writing the… - Yeah, the vows.

1100. You aren't typically very spontaneous when it comes to serious things.

1101. - Yeah. - And this seems spontaneous.

1102. - How'd you sleep last night? - Really well.

1103. And I thought that was a great sign.

1104. I didn't sleep well. Is that not a good sign then?

1105. You don't have to make a decision here.

1106. - That's right. - Yeah.

1107. Even though Taylor and I are sure about each other,

1108. you're still making a decision.

1109. And we promised each other

1110. this whole time that we would very much take it seriously,

1111. and that I wouldn't get up there

1112. and say yes unless I was absolutely sure.

1113. As sure as I can be in this moment and her as well.

1114. So I've been doing my best to really honor that, and if I say yes,

1115. it's, like, a very honest answer.

1116. It's a heavy decision.

1117. It's a lofty decision.

1118. It's one of the biggest things that you'll ever decide.

1119. Or else you'll be regretting it like your mother's done for the last 35 years now.

1120. I know one thing you've been worried about is going to San Diego

1121. and traveling around, not being around.

1122. But having a wife and having a family, having somebody like Taylor,

1123. these are all things I wasn't sure were in the cards for me.

1124. I didn't think anyone was out there for me that I would totally feel compatible with

1125. and comfortable with and who would challenge me in the right ways,

1126. but also, like, was caring and humble and respectful.

1127. I'm so grateful.

1128. I'm so grateful to have found Taylor and to feel the way that I feel.

1129. Um, I think I'd be a fool not to act on it.

1130. I know that feeling.

1131. Yeah.

1132. Your mind's made up. I don't have any intention of trying to talk you out of it.

1133. You're a very smart, intelligent man.

1134. Being married and having a family

1135. is no doubt one of the happiest things that can happen to you in your life,

1136. and I'm glad that you get the opportunity to experience that.

1137. You got somebody to share your successes with.

1138. You have so much to share anyway.

1139. You're a wonderful human being. A wonderful human being.

1140. And I know that she's a great human being too.

1141. She has to be for you to have fallen for her so hard.

1142. She is. She's incredible.

1143. I'm still just in shock that, like, Taylor was there, and it worked out.

1144. - Sometimes it's meant to be. - Yeah.

1145. Do you realize you're getting married on the 13th?

1146. - We got married on the 13th. Yeah. - No, I didn't know that.

1147. - Now I'll be able to remember. - It's a good lucky number.

1148. Yeah, it is. I know. Mom didn't think that was a good thing to get married.

1149. - On the 13th? - Yeah.

1150. - Yeah. - 13th's a good number.

1151. - Nah, it's good. - It's a good sign.

1152. We're excited for you, baby.

1153. Thank you. Thanks for being here, for your support and all.

1154. She's a lucky lady, and you're a lucky man.

1155. It's cool to watch you…

1156. …have grown from such a little curious…

1157. - Curious George to… - Yeah. Super curious. He's still curious.

1158. Oh, I can't get up.

1159. We just love you so much.

1160. It's definitely not like watching you play soccer, you know?

1161. It's a lot more weighty than that, but we're excited.

1162. We're excited. We're happy. We love you.

1163. We wanna be here to support you 1,000%. Always.

1164. - Yeah, we're not questioning it at all. - Yeah.

1165. I know you've given it a great deal of thought.

1166. More thought than we gave when we got married.

1167. For sure. For sure. That's a definite.

1168. - Yeah, that's a definite. - Your mother's more spontaneous.

1169. - Yeah. - You know?

1170. - I'm a lot. - Yeah, a lot more, yeah, so…

1171. Oh, my goodness.

1172. - So we're comfortable with it all. - Yeah.

1173. And yeah, I'm looking forward to experiencing you as a married man.

1174. - Yeah. - Now it's Garrett plus one.

1175. I love you so much.

1176. Yes.

1177. You've grown up to be such a wonderful man.

1178. You really have.

1179. And it's been a joy.

1180. Oh, my God.

1181. - Okay, baby. - Drop you off here?

1182. - Thank you. I love you. - Love you too.

1183. You ready?

1184. Yeah, I think so.

1185. She's adorable.

1186. This is every father's dream.

1187. I don't think I could do this day without you.

1188. I love you so much. Thank you so much for being here today.

1189. I love you too.

1190. You got this, girl.

1191. - The biggest game of your life. - Fourth quarter, let's go.

1192. Let's go. Let's go, baby.

1193. Please rise.

1194. Ah, man.

1195. Who presents this woman to be married to this man?

1196. Her father does.

1197. Thanks.

1198. - Thanks. - Awesome.

1199. Please be seated.

1200. "Family and friends, thank you all for coming today

1201. to share in this wonderful occasion."

1202. "Today, we're here together to unite Taylor and Garrett in marriage."

1203. "Taylor and Garrett, as scientists,

1204. you have just conducted the most important experiment of your lives."

1205. "In a lab of double-blind pods,

1206. you compressed years of dating experience

1207. into an accelerated search for your perfect mate."

1208. "The results of those efforts brought you to each other

1209. and today, bring you here to be married."

1210. Oh, my God, I'm so glad you do too.

1211. You're doing great. The notes help, huh?

1212. Yeah.

1213. Taylor, you've said it many times,

1214. the beautiful thing about us

1215. is that we didn't come into this expecting to find our person.

1216. It was just coming in here and learning more about ourselves

1217. and just with a very small glimmer of hope that we might find

1218. someone that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with.

1219. To find the connection that we had in the pods

1220. and to find that feeling that I hadn't felt before

1221. and that I never thought I would ever find

1222. that magnetic connection that we talked about,

1223. and then to have that just buoyed by seeing you.

1224. And I did not think it was possible to feel this way,

1225. finding a partner that I just think is so perfectly matched for me,

1226. and I feel just perfectly matched for you.

1227. That's exactly what I feel like this is. This is a partnership.

1228. "I promise to keep singing and dancing."

1229. "To never give up, to always be at your side

1230. and support you through everything that life throws at us,

1231. to be patient and understanding."

1232. "I promise to always put your feelings first."

1233. Thank you.

1234. "I promise to make every day as hot as the ones we had in Cabo."

1235. "I told you every day since the pods that I love you,

1236. and I'll continue to tell you that every day."

1237. "More importantly, continue to show you that every day."

1238. "Show you how special you really are. I love you, Taylor."

1239. "You mean the world to me. I promise to always be there for you."

1240. - I love you. - I love you too.

1241. - I also have some notes. - Yeah.

1242. - In very Taylor fashion. - Yeah, it even says "notes."

1243. Yeah, that's prettier than what I had written down.

1244. "Well, G,

1245. it's rare to see someone with a soul like yours. It really is."

1246. "You truly are a person who sees people,

1247. and I know that you truly see me."

1248. "I also love your sense of humor and wit."

1249. "You truly are an incredible glassblower."

1250. "More importantly, you're going to be the person

1251. that helps make the really heavy things in life thrown our way feel lighter."

1252. "You lovingly challenge me."

1253. "And make me wanna be better every day."

1254. "And I feel that with you as my partner, there truly isn't anything we can't do."

1255. And I really mean that.

1256. "There's a term for the feeling of warmth on your skin in the sun

1257. during the wintertime which is called 'apricity.'"

1258. "It's just a term that really resonated with me throughout this process."

1259. "And when I reflect on when this opportunity came up in my life,

1260. I was purposely giving dating the cold shoulder."

1261. "I would think, 'I still have so much to do.'"

1262. "But you've really made me realize

1263. that I just hadn't opened up to finding the right person."

1264. "And now I see an incredibly bright future together."

1265. "We are the kind of people that we're going to do the things

1266. that we wanted to do individually."

1267. "But everything I do with you is more meaningful."

1268. "And I promise to always love, respect and appreciate you."

1269. "I'm sure our future family is going to be one that we've always dreamed of."

1270. "When I look at you, I feel like I've known you for years, not weeks."

1271. - Wild, right? - Forty-two days.

1272. Forty-two days.

1273. You're the numbers guy. Yeah.

1274. "Garrett, you truly are one of a kind."

1275. "I'm so lucky

1276. and so thrilled to have you as my partner for the rest of our days."

1277. "I really caught a big fish."

1278. "Taylor and Garrett, you chose to get engaged

1279. and spend the rest of your lives together based on a deep emotional connection."

1280. "Looks, age, finances

1281. and all the superficial things of the world

1282. were not a factor for you two."

1283. "Now is the time to decide if love is blind."

1284. "Will you get married

1285. and commit to face life together as husband and wife?"

1286. "Or will you walk away forever?"

1287. "Garrett, do you take Taylor to be your wife from this day forward,

1288. for better or worse, for richer or poorer,

1289. in sickness and in health,

1290. to love and to cherish always?"

1291. I absolutely do.

1292. "Taylor, do you take Garrett to be your husband from this day forward,

1293. for better or worse, for richer or poorer,

1294. in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish always?"

1295. I do.

1296. Taylor, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love.

1297. With the pledge to love you today, tomorrow and forever.

1298. "I now pronounce you husband and wife."

1299. "You may kiss each other and seal your vows."

1300. Yeah!

1301. So is this, like, a thing, always pour your wife's glass first?

1302. You're catching on.

1303. - I told you. I'm a quick learner. - I feel like I'm dreaming.

1304. - I know. I know. - I feel like we're in another simulation.

1305. Yes, yes. A very out-of-body experience. But it feels so right.

1306. That's what is guiding me through all of this, is just how I feel about you.

1307. Me too.

1308. When you know, you know.

1309. I had so much fun today!

1310. - Did you? - Yeah.

1311. It's such a wonderful day. That's how your wedding should be.

1312. I always thought I'd be, like, panicking somewhere.

1313. - Yeah. - And like…

1314. Today was, like, the wedding that I didn't even dream of,

1315. but I'm so glad it turned out the way that it did.

1316. I'm so happy. So happy.

1317. Me too.

1318. - I love you. - I love you too.

1319. - Okay, okay, okay. - All right.

1320. You have the rest of your life to…

1321. - Oh, wow. Wow. - Look at this!

1322. - Are we the luckiest people in the world? - Yes.

1323. This is how you naturally transport people in Fredericksburg, right?

1324. Love is absolutely blind.

1325. Love is totally blind.

1326. - Love you. - Love you too.

1327. - This is very us. All of it. - Yeah.

1328. Garrett is the kind of man that only comes along once in a lifetime.

1329. I'm so excited!

1330. Mr. and Mrs. Josemans-Krause!

1331. I wouldn't wanna jump in the deep end with anyone else.

1332. I love you so much.

1333. I'm so excited for what's to come.

1334. Me too.

1335. It's just the start of the rest of our lives.

1336. That's the beautiful thing about it. We're just getting started. I can't wait.

1337. I can't wait.

1338. I'm so excited.

1339. - I love you. - Love you too.

1340. Mr. and Mrs. Tyler and Ashley Bradson!

1341. Love is blind. Love is blind for me. I'll say it again.

1342. I have my person and my best friend.

1343. I wouldn't have found a love like this if I didn't do this experiment

1344. and look at someone for who they are on the inside.

1345. You don't always get married to your soulmate.

1346. - Stop! You're making it obvious! - Oh, I'm sorry.

1347. I'm looking forward to tomorrow waking up and being a married woman.

1348. - Yeah. - And now you got a ring on your hand.

1349. Now it's solidified. I got a second ring.

1350. You know, now I'm no longer engaged. I'm married.

1351. - So happy. - Yes.

1352. I'm happy.

1353. I'm happy.
