Love Is Blind 7x9

1. Good morning from Arlington, Virginia.

2. It's a nice fall, crisp morning.

3. Garrett's already been up for a couple of hours on the phone.

4. Luckily, my work is closed today.

5. But let's go see Garrett in the kitchen this morning.

6. Garrett, do you want to say hello?

7. What's up?

8. We got some wonderful flowers

9. from my friends to congratulate us.

10. We have some Pacific sheephead thawing out for dinner tonight.

11. Her first speared fish experience.

12. - Can't wait. - She's excited.

13. I'm gonna run some errands and do some more wedding planning

14. that we get to talk about later tonight.

15. I'm finally gonna get my hair cut, 'cause Taylor does not like my hair.

16. - It's official. Got it. - It's not.

17. - I heard her say it. - I never said that.

18. - I heard her say it. - I never said that.

19. I was— I was—

20. Words I've never said. When did I say that?

21. Also words you've never said, "Garrett, I love your hair."

22. Is this our first fight?

23. Sit.

24. Speak.

25. Go lay down.

26. I couldn't have asked for a better, not stepchild,

27. but, you know. Stepchild, kinda.

28. She wasn't my child.

29. She is now. Seven kids.

30. Yeah, right. I'm not shaking on it.

31. Four.

32. Three.

33. And a half.

34. - What's a half? - We just keep trying.

35. - It has to be solid numbers. - Two.

36. Two.

37. Two. Two kids. Okay, two kids if…

38. The first one's a boy, you gotta get your girl.

39. - What if it's a girl first? - Then I'm fine.

40. Whoever comes next, comes next. What do you care?

41. If I have two boys though, I'm trying for a third girl.

42. Yeah, I think daycare definitely, like, has to happen.

43. Hmm.

44. Drop Timmy off at daycare.

45. - Timmy? No. - Little Timmy, you know.

46. Why Timmy?

47. What you want me to say? Little DeAndre?

48. No.

49. No! "John"? I don't know.

50. - John is the same as Timmy! - No! Timmy is like…

51. You said I get to name the boy if we have a boy.

52. - I have great names. I don't wanna tell. - Well, don't.

53. Yeah, I have very unique names. Nothing like "Ashley."

54. - I like Ashley. - Yeah, I bet you do.

55. We're trying to have kids now.

56. - We're not trying. - We're not actively not trying.

57. I'm actively not trying.

58. I might lose my mind if I get married and I'm pregnant.

59. So no sex till next year?

60. No, I'm not shaking to that.

61. Oh, no. You're giving me these weird eyes, and I don't like it.

62. What eyes am I giving you?

63. - "I know you didn't—" - I'm not trying—

64. Let me know what you need help with.

65. You can boil some pasta.

66. That's boring.

67. You asked if I needed help.

68. I wanna like be on there, like,

69. quick-chopping ingredients and stuff like that.

70. Nick, you literally said, "Do you need help with anything?"

71. I said, "Would you like to boil pasta?" You said, "No."

72. - I don't even see the pasta. - Because it's not out, Nick.

73. I was like, "Did you forget the pasta?"

74. I don't see any pasta in here.

75. - No, it's in the cabinets. - Uh-huh.

76. Oh, this is my favorite kind, buccanti.

77. Cabadussi, Nick.

78. Heat it up now?

79. - Yeah. - Okay.

80. What should I turn it to? Just medium? In between medium and high?

81. You just heat it to a boil.

82. - Tell me the temperature. - Boil.

83. - Do you know how to heat to a boil? - Yeah.

84. - You're the one who told me you cook. - I'm just gonna try— I do.

85. When I fill this up with water,

86. you think, like, three quarters or, like, halfway?

87. Halfway, right?

88. I'm just—

89. I feel like boiling pasta is the most simple thing you can possibly do.

90. I'm just— it's been a while.

91. I could figure it out. I don't wanna upset you.

92. Three quarters, right?

93. I've got it. Don't worry. You're good. Take a seat.

94. - You know how to boil pasta, right? - I've done it once.

95. You've only boiled pasta once?

96. Are you fucking kidding me?

97. Your brother, do you have any advice for me?

98. No.

99. - No? - I'mma let him eat you alive.

100. So just be myself, huh?

101. Mm-hmm.

102. If you change everything about you.

103. Just kidding. Yes.

104. - Will you go get it? - I got you.

105. - What's going on? Nothing much.

106. - Drink? - White wine.

107. - Would you like me to pour you a glass? - Yes, be a gentleman.

108. Yep.

109. How tall are you?

110. 5'11".

111. - I'm 5'11", sometimes six-foot with shoes. - He's not 5'11".

112. - Are we eye level? - No, you're not. Nick's my height.

113. - Oh, yeah, I'm your height, right? - Yeah.

114. - This is how I feel like— oh, my gosh. - Check our wingspan. Ready?

115. - I got him. - She got me.

116. What did you think Hannah was gonna look like?

117. It's weird. Like, you'll say you fell in love with someone in the pods.

118. You don't care what they look like.

119. That's actually real shit.

120. I love she says exactly what's on her mind,

121. and she's not scared to—

122. I want someone who's gonna put me in my place and tell me what's up.

123. Bitch boy.

124. I need a bitch boy.

125. I don't know if she told you, but I've only dated two women in the past.

126. - Only two? - Only two.

127. - How old are you? - Twenty-eight.

128. That makes me feel better. 'Cause I've dated zero.

129. - Zero? - Yeah.

130. Well, zero women, obviously.

131. - She was the first person I came out to. - Yeah.

132. Just because she's always been like a "I don't give a fuck."

133. "I'll do what I want" type of girl.

134. Sometimes we like to bicker and fight, like,

135. "Bitch, take out the dog."

136. And I'd be like, "No, no!"

137. That's what she's saying to me.

138. How has she been on you about cleaning?

139. Do you think I'm a clean freak, Cade?

140. He knows how clean I am.

141. I clean up after myself.

142. I just don't like coming home

143. or clothes in the laundry or stuff in the sink.

144. It pissed me off so much last night.

145. Our dryer, like, takes five hours to dry a set of clothes.

146. So those clothes were just sitting there. Sitting there.

147. Like, woke up in the morning, had to take the clothes out of the dryer.

148. Then I woke up to all the laundry in the bed for me to fold from Nick.

149. That's what happens when you're unemployed, right?

150. Oh, I can't be mean too? It's just you?

151. You're upset 'cause I make more money than you.

152. - She— - That's cool. I love that.

153. What do you do?

154. Real estate agent. Just like the rest of the world, I'm a realtor.

155. Thank you.

156. That is really good.

157. So domesticated.

158. You know, 'cause I'm unemployed.

159. You could get a job in a second.

160. I make a joke, and it's funny. Then you take it way too far,

161. where it's not funny. It's just mean.

162. - That wasn't a joke, Nick. - It was a fucking joke.

163. Well, I don't think you know how to joke then.

164. Maybe that's something we both gotta work on.

165. You don't think I'm funny?

166. Yeah, you're hilarious.

167. You're fucking hilarious.

168. You're hilarious.

169. Good save. Good save.

170. I was about to say, 'cause every motherfucker else thinks I'm funny.

171. Oh, my gosh.

172. You know what it means, like, "Oh, he's been cooked"?

173. What does that mean? Like, you get fried?

174. It doesn't matter. I'm gonna use the bathroom really fast. Sorry.

175. - It's warm. I'm gonna take this off. - Yeah.

176. I don't want you to think I'm mad at you for the unemployment joke.

177. - Oh, dude, I have hard skin. - I thought it was a little funny, but—

178. 'Cause Hannah would say something like that.

179. You haven't been here, but she's giving— She's been—

180. Not hard on me,

181. but there have been multiple times where she's said something way more cruel.

182. I can take that stuff,

183. but, like, the 20th time, it's like, "Okay, like, I get it."

184. That's been, like, my issue with her.

185. - Like, she's fucking great, but also… - Yeah.

186. …she'll say things,

187. and then if I say the same level of thing back, it's like a problem.

188. Right. I love her for who she is, but some of the things she says,

189. it's like, "Fuck, like, that kind of hits home."

190. You know what I mean? Like, it's hard to shake off.

191. I don't know what you guys were talking about.

192. We're talking shit. Do you love Hannah?

193. Yeah. Have you ever been in love?

194. No, I hate men.

195. Me too.

196. Except for Nick.

197. Hate me. As long as you love me, that's fine.

198. I hate to love you, babe.

199. We've been here two hours.

200. Yet, she hasn't said one compliment about me.

201. Which is okay. Which is okay.

202. Do you think I gave him a compliment?

203. I'm trying to think.

204. - Nick, I think you're handsome. - Oh, my God.

205. - I think you're patient. - Okay.

206. I fell in love with you for a reason. So tell me what you love about me.

207. Look, I love you don't have to change the type of woman you are for me.

208. I like that you can handle things on your own.

209. It's very sexy. I like how confident you are.

210. Like, that makes you beautiful.

211. Okay. Go on.

212. I love you. That really was nice. I needed that.

213. Last night, I was like, "Oh, my God, that's my man."

214. - With the situation? Yeah, just how you handled it.

215. I think the things I value about you the most are, like,

216. how, I think, empathetic you are

217. and, like, know how to say something in a moment that makes it better,

218. which I think Monica really needed.

219. She was incredibly grateful. I was incredibly grateful.

220. You handled it so maturely and gracefully.

221. It was super hot.

222. I don't think hating him is gonna make Monica feel better.

223. She's gonna get through it.

224. You heard her. She was like, "I want you to check up on him."

225. I'm like, "Yeah, I will." So…

226. - Yeah. - Which says a lot about her character.

227. - She deserves to have a Garrett. - Yeah.

228. Really, she does.

229. You deserve to have a Garrett.

230. - I deserve a Taylor. - You deserve a Taylor?

231. Blonde international pop-star Taylors?

232. Oh, thank you.

233. I'm excited to take you to San Diego.

234. I appreciate the huge leap of, like,

235. wanting to move to a new city across the country,

236. away from, like, your hometown to be with me.

237. Yeah, that was what my parents were pushing on was, like,

238. and my mom's email was today was like,

239. "Oh, wait, you're gonna marry this person, and we just met her."

240. They wanna show me that they support me and all that, and it's just a shock.

241. I struggle to tell you the things that my parents are saying to me,

242. 'cause it's not targeted at you, but it can definitely be taken that way,

243. and a weaker person would, like, freak the fuck out.

244. I'm not saying I'm taking, like, your mom's words to heart,

245. but, like, there are I think moments I felt, like,

246. pangs of insecurity that I'm not used to.

247. I do want you to know though your parents' relationship,

248. and the privacy of the conversations that you do have,

249. I want you to, like, be able to have tough conversations about me,

250. and I'm not part of it.

251. - I don't take any of it personally. - Good. I'm glad you don't.

252. It has nothing to do with you, you know. They don't know you.

253. We just have to hope that we can

254. convince our parents that we're of sound mind,

255. and that this is real, and that the love I feel is real,

256. and this person, that the love they feel is real.

257. They are right for me.

258. I just really appreciate you wanting to, like, come to San Diego,

259. talk to my parents, especially my dad, who doesn't wanna be on camera.

260. And it's not because he disapproves of this process.

261. It's just not his thing.

262. But to meet you in person,

263. know that you're real, see that I'm okay,

264. see how I actually feel,

265. spend more time with the person who would be my husband.

266. Having you ask for my hand in marriage, it's gonna make all the difference.

267. I need this in order to get to, like, an altar in two weeks.

268. So when I meet your dad,

269. when I ask him for your hand, and he says, "I can't do it."

270. I don't know what…

271. So…

272. - And— - I wouldn't blame him.

273. He doesn't know me.

274. Yeah.

275. He doesn't know us.

276. I know.

277. That is, like, a really big thing for us to think about.

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

279. does having, like, a wedding make sense?

280. Is that something that we can live with and overcome?

281. I think so.

282. But it is something we should, like, think about.

283. Yeah. My parents, even if they said they're not okay with it,

284. and they were not gonna go to the wedding, I would still do it.

285. I love them to death, but they know I make my own decisions.

286. I know how much it means to get your father's blessing,

287. your parents' blessing.

288. And so just the possibility

289. of not getting it just scares the shit out of me

290. because I just wanna be with you so bad.

291. So it just, like, crushes me to think about it.

292. I want your dad to say yes.

293. - Okay. This is it.

294. Modern chic man cave.

295. - I like it. - Yeah.

296. All right.

297. I truly feel like once somebody comes and sees my space,

298. they truly understand where I am.

299. 'Cause I think people's spaces tell a lot about themselves.

300. That pot is actually from my great-grandparents' house in Georgia.

301. The plane's from North Carolina.

302. Winston Churchill, 'cause I was born in England.

303. This is the last picture me and both my sisters took together.

304. I am the type of person that everything has a place in space,

305. but I also don't want it to intimidate someone

306. that it is so put-together, I'm not willing to change it.

307. I kind of put this together with

308. in mind that this is where I wanna start my family,

309. and now let's build from here.

310. Dino nuggets though. That's a key staple of my diet.

311. What? The dino nuggets?

312. - Yeah, the dinosaur ones taste better. - Where?

313. And this is my bedroom.

314. I love it.

315. Here's the bathroom.

316. - Mm-hmm. - This is your sink.

317. Please keep your things over here on this sink.

318. This is my sink.

319. Okay.

320. This is the closet.

321. - I got space. - Mm-hmm.

322. I don't know if I got space for all the clothes you claim to have.

323. - It's a lot. It's a lot. - I believe it.

324. Look behind you.

325. The king and the prince of the household. Prince Roderick.

326. - It's Prince Roderick. - You know what?

327. It's definitely giving museum vibes.

328. - The Churchill Lounge. - Okay.

329. Definitely a very masculine home. I will say that.

330. It is a modern man cave. That's what I'll call it. Modern man cave.

331. Yeah.

332. So how do you feel like being in this space now?

333. - Do you feel like it's something workable? - Yeah, no, it's very homey.

334. When I come here, do I have a say in anything?

335. - Yeah, of course. - We gotta change these couches.

336. I'm not married to these couches, but I do like brown leather.

337. Is that your dog's too?

338. Yes, my dog does have a couch.

339. What is up with guys and La-Z-Boys? There it goes.

340. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this.

341. - Could you imagine— - My dad has the exact same chair.

342. I'm so glad he does. Your ancestors dreamed of this technology.

343. They did not. When they thought of making it, this isn't what they thought.

344. This is making it. This is my ancestors' dreams come to life.

345. How are you feeling?

346. - A little anxious. My mom's very protective of me.

347. Like, not having a father here too,

348. like, she feels like she needs to really fill in that role.

349. My mom didn't, like, love all my exes,

350. but that was mainly because they were, like, trash.

351. You are very different from who I've ever dated before, so…

352. I think it'll be fine.

353. - It'll be good. - I love you and my family will too.

354. - I'm sure they will. They'll see that. - They will.

355. They're here.

356. - Hi! Hi.

357. How are you doing?

358. Hi! Mucho gusto!

359. - How are you doing? Mommy! Oh, my God!

360. Here, meet Ramses.

361. - How are you? Hi, nice to meet you.

362. - Here, Mom. - Thank you.

363. Oh, my God, we look like one big, related family.

364. How many siblings do you have?

365. Just an older brother. We have different dads, but it's—

366. - Girl! Welcome to the family! - Yeah.

367. Preaching to the choir!

368. - For real though. - Yeah, like, actually.

369. All of our dads could make a volleyball team.

370. - Yeah, literally! - The whole roster.

371. Actually, they probably could.

372. - One, two, three… - Three, four, five…

373. Okay, no one's putting you on blast.

374. You guys look like siblings. It's kind of weird.

375. We don't look like siblings!

376. I wanna say this on the record.

377. White people date all the time,

378. and they look like siblings almost every single time.

379. I don't wanna hear you guys look like siblings.

380. He wouldn't give me anything about his looks.

381. - Well, that's what it's supposed to be. - He kept talking about his fashion.

382. Which I have to say is kind of off.

383. - Is it off? You're not feeling it? - Sorry. No, I'm not feeling it.

384. - Don't listen to her. - The whole '80s breakdancing…

385. No, don't—

386. - Like, little tail thing. - El DeBarge.

387. - And the Jheri curl look from the '80s. - The Jheri curl? Not a fan?

388. - Yeah, I'm not feeling it. - We can't blame his hair.

389. If that's what it's giving, that's what it's giving.

390. What is it about Marissa that is so…

391. Because there are tons of men that are infatuated with my daughter.

392. I think with her personality, it's like anyone can, like, be drawn in.

393. I know that.

394. Something I wanted in my life was someone who was, like, fun and playful.

395. But the way we think, like, the way we, like, approach different topics,

396. our communication style is, like, very good.

397. She's someone who doesn't allow things to fester.

398. - I mean, we had a moment. - That's gonna happen.

399. She had to step away. She was like, "Don't touch me. I need—"

400. - I did. I said, "Don't touch me." - She's like, "I need a moment."

401. And I was like, "That's fine."

402. Like, I wanted to give her a moment to, like, feel through her feelings.

403. Just let her know I was there for her.

404. But yeah, I think— I'm glad we had that moment

405. because it was all,

406. like, glossy and beautiful in Cabo and in the pods,

407. but, like, I needed to know that this wasn't just, like, an infatuation.

408. I do want you in my life,

409. and you're someone that I see, like,

410. having, like, this really beautiful marriage and, like, longevity.

411. At the end of the day, you see me for, like, who I am,

412. and I feel like you feel the same way.

413. - I feel very understood with you. - Yeah.

414. Explain the book, Mom.

415. It's been hard to afford albums throughout our upbringing,

416. so everything is, you know, in that Rubbermaid container.

417. Yeah.

418. So Marissa's always asked me to have an album,

419. so I went ahead and just put a collage of some pictures.

420. I've never seen this!

421. - Thanks, Mom. - You're welcome.

422. - He had one that he showed me. - I love photo albums, yeah.

423. - That's my dad. - That's me and your father.

424. - That's your dad? - My favorite photo of you guys.

425. - My mom's favorite photo of us. - That was your birthday.

426. - This year? This is cute. - Look how happy I am.

427. So this right here, which is real weird, if you look on the ornaments,

428. we were so poor that I had to hand-make all those ornaments

429. just to have ornaments.

430. - 'Cause we couldn't pay for them. - Yeah.

431. That's amazing. We have a similar little angel thing we put on our Christmas tree.

432. We were so poor, I didn't have mittens. I used socks as my mittens.

433. It was so embarrassing.

434. You have the same exact smile.

435. She always was smiling.

436. Y'all are so cute when you were younger, yeah.

437. - I had a, you know, husband or whatever. - Yeah.

438. Then I divorced.

439. At 35, 36 years old, I was taking care of four kids.

440. I was waking up four o'clock in the morning, working,

441. and then staying up till two, three, four in the morning going to nursing school.

442. She's gonna be a lawyer, but you know, she's always talked to me

443. that she wants to take care of her baby

444. when she has children.

445. - Sure, yeah. - And stay home, so…

446. You know, what's your plan on furthering your career?

447. I mean, it's nice now that you have a job, but you know, things happen.

448. - I thought about going back to school. - And what do you have a degree in now?

449. So I went to college, but I dropped out.

450. The reason I dropped out is my dad passed away when I was 20.

451. I just sort of lost sight of what direction I was heading in.

452. Even though I didn't get a degree,

453. like, I've always had a job.

454. - I've always taken care of myself. - I totally get that.

455. You live on your own here in DC. I don't think you're a bum.

456. She would not go for a fucking bum.

457. But I wanna make sure that you're not relying on her law degree and her money,

458. because if a kid is produced in this relationship,

459. you don't want me coming up there, staying with you for a while,

460. taking care of a kid because my daughter has to fucking work.

461. Mom doesn't wanna come live with me because she thinks I'm evil, but—

462. - She is a bitch. - I—

463. She is bossy.

464. - I am. - Yeah.

465. - He's seen it. He sees me try to boss him. - No, I've seen it.

466. - And we talked through that. - We did talk through it.

467. It's not an issue, because I know, like, her background.

468. He's like, "I know you're used to bossing around sailors."

469. She's used to having control and directing things.

470. But you also gotta take control 'cause she likes that.

471. He does. And that's why we butt heads.

472. I think I also wanted to mention I was previously married once.

473. I got married young when I was 25. Um…

474. That's not really young. I'm sorry. Twenty-five is not young.

475. It was his high school sweetheart.

476. So what happened?

477. When you go into a marriage, like, you really discover a lot about a person.

478. You're explaining a marriage to me?

479. You know. Yeah, you know.

480. So there was a lot of things, just, like, incompatibilities

481. that we, like, learned about each other through that marriage.

482. But the main thing that sort of drove us apart was, um,

483. for me, it's just we were going in different directions

484. in terms of, like, where we stood religiously.

485. And I didn't think it was fair to her or myself

486. to put her in a place where she wasn't happy.

487. In that moment,

488. I felt the most loving thing I could do for her was to allow her to—

489. - Did you both agree on divorce? - We both agreed on divorcing.

490. It wasn't just you that you did for her. You both agreed.

491. We both agreed that we were going in different directions.

492. Honestly, you're making yourself sound like a saint.

493. I mean, "She agreed. You agreed."

494. - We arrived at a conclusion. - Okay.

495. Going into the pods, I looked at it as a benefit.

496. Like, I've been there. Like, I understand what works for me.

497. So, like, I have a clear mind as to, like, what I'm looking for.

498. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

499. - Should it be? - Nor I.

500. It's what it is.

501. Beyond just, like, the paper, what does marriage mean to you,

502. especially if you've already been married before?

503. I think it's just the commitment to someone, to want to grow with them,

504. to family, kids and share this world together.

505. - I'm gonna go use the bathroom. - You wanna give Mommy a kiss goodbye?

506. - I'm gonna be back, Mom. - She's just using the bathroom.

507. Totally.

508. - I love you. - Love you too.

509. - I love my book. Can't wait to look at it. - Okay.

510. - So, my big concern is that, you know… - Yeah.

511. And I'm pretty sure she's told you in the pods that she—

512. we've had a very, you know, rough upbringing.

513. They've had to fight to, you know, get where they're at.

514. They've all went to college, They've all worked hard.

515. They all live on their own. And I'm very proud of them.

516. But to me, marriage is not forever. It would be nice.

517. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

518. It'd be nice if marriage lasts forever, but I don't believe in forever.

519. Fifteen years, 20 years, God.

520. It's happy when it's happy, and then it ends.

521. - Mm-hmm. - You tolerate each other till it's over.

522. I think that you and Marissa should do a prenup.

523. She has worked too hard to get fucked over

524. and has suffered from men fucking her over

525. between her father, her stepfather,

526. to then get fucked over by her husband because he's not making enough.

527. If you love her as much as you say you do, then you should have no problems

528. having a prenup that you guys could walk away with no problem.

529. I have no problems with, like, a prenup.

530. I know the amount of work she's put in.

531. Like, I know the amount of years she's put in to arrive where she's at.

532. Like, I don't— I'm not here for her money.

533. - Like, I'm not here for— - She don't have any money right now.

534. - She's not done with law school. - Yeah.

535. I'm not having my kids fucked over, but it's nothing against you.

536. No. Yeah, I don't take it personally.

537. If she truly loves you, cares about you,

538. whatever all this is at the moment.

539. You know, I feel like I'm dealing with her

540. from high school and college love or whatever.

541. And we're arguing a little bit.

542. - But you know, this is serious shit. - Yeah.

543. And I'm not going through all this anxiety

544. that I have to worry about my daughter on her wedding day.

545. You know, I don't care what you guys do on the wedding.

546. I do whatever. 'Cause I'm always gonna be there.

547. She knows no matter what. I don't care what I do, whatever.

548. I'm always gonna fucking be there for her. They all know that.

549. Yeah, yeah. I'm 100% on board.

550. Yeah, I don't care what y'all do after that.

551. You're welcome into the family.

552. - As long as you make her happy. - Thank you.

553. - Yeah. - I'm gonna be there.

554. Are you giving me your blessing right now? Is that what this is?

555. Yeah, Mom.

556. There ain't no blessing 'cause I don't believe in forever.

557. I mean, whatever Marissa wants is all that matters to me.

558. She's head over heels in love with you, I guess, so, you know…

559. - Ten days, 20 days, whatever. - I know. It's hard to…

560. I will say, out of all the partners she has, I do like you the most.

561. - I can't say I like you. I met you today. - You need time. That's fine.

562. Just the energy alone, I do. I feel like…

563. I think you're gonna be a good brother-in-law.

564. I'm back. Okay, what did they say?

565. You don't get her blessing unless y'all do a prenup.

566. Well, I don't need her blessing, Mom.

567. Are you gonna do the prenup, Marissa?

568. I will decide those things.

569. Just don't become billionaires.

570. Billionaires are unethical.

571. If she wanted to be a millionaire, I was like, "Still not."

572. I just want— I wanna be a billionaire.

573. - I don't look forward to hoarding wealth. - We can be a millionaire.

574. Sure.

575. - Can we get to the wedding first? - Did you give us your blessing, Mom?

576. I don't know. You gonna do the prenup, Marissa?

577. I will just tell you, you hurt my daughter, I will cut your balls off.

578. Thank you.

579. Are you nervous?

580. The scariest part about meeting Hannah's parents is

581. I'm gonna be with them a lot,

582. so if they don't feel comfortable with the type of guy I am

583. or you know, how Hannah's feeling, this wouldn't work out.

584. - Hello. - Hello.

585. - Guys. - Hi, Mom. You look good.

586. Thanks.

587. - Hi, Nick. Hi. Nice to meet you.

588. - These are for you. - Thank you.

589. - Happy belated birthday. Yup. - Thank you.

590. - Where's my flowers?

591. Next date, I got you.

592. - I guess. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, Ryan.

593. - How you doing? Good.

594. - You guys all look great. - Thanks. You too.

595. You look hot.

596. She says, "You look hot."

597. I got you a Capitals hat, 'cause I know you're into hockey.

598. - Yeah. - I can't skate. You're gonna teach me.

599. Ryder wants to get into football.

600. - You're gonna have to help Ryder. - Okay, okay.

601. You know what position you'd wanna play?

602. - O-line or… - Kicker?

603. Well, I was a kicker, so…

604. - Trust me. It's just as cool. - Ryder's giving quarterback energy.

605. I know.

606. - I thought I was gonna hear quarterback. - Yeah.

607. So did you know right off that you were interested in each other?

608. She, like, set herself apart from the other 14 women…

609. - My accent. - …that we were talking to.

610. - I'm like, "Hey, y'all. I'm Hannah." - Yeah.

611. But that's, like, the energy and vibe that I look for in meeting someone.

612. She's very cool and easy to talk to and connect with,

613. and it got a little bit deeper every day.

614. He grew on me.

615. - Yeah, he did. Dad did too. - I'm still growing on your mom.

616. - That's how it works, right? - I'm still not sure. It's been years.

617. - It's a job in itself. - It's work.

618. - Yeah. - Yeah, it's not easy.

619. - We've definitely had lots of highs, lows. - Yeah.

620. - You know? - Yeah.

621. I've realized that I need a strong woman in my life, like, for a wife.

622. - I need someone who's gonna push me. - Yeah.

623. I want someone to be very direct with me.

624. I think that's a quality that I'm looking forward to having.

625. Sometimes, you know, it could be a little too much.

626. - I'm trying! - But she's getting better at it, you know?

627. Are y'all not gonna grill him or what?

628. - I don't know how to grill. - I just wanna talk. See what he's like.

629. We can just talk. Get to know each other. They don't have to grill me just yet.

630. I think you've grilled him plenty.

631. I'm not sure what the point of grilling him is now.

632. I mean, it's done.

633. Y'all have made your decision, so…

634. I mean, it's not my decision.

635. - Yeah. - I'm just Dad.

636. Yeah, you're the one that has to be stuck with him.

637. - Yeah, stuck with him. - For the rest of your life, not us.

638. Attached to him. Chained to him.

639. - I'll be chained to her. - Yeah, probably.

640. - Whatever she says goes. - We know.

641. There's definitely things that we're both picky about, but…

642. She has a little bit longer of a list than mine.

643. I want someone to be very direct.

644. I'm so perfect, it's hard for him to come up with things.

645. - Are you being serious? - Yeah.

646. - I'm easy to fall in love with. - Oh, my gosh.

647. Me too.

648. Yeah, me too.

649. Yeah.

650. That's one thing my kids do not lack, is confidence.

651. That's just how I am. My way or the highway.

652. Like, I nitpick him.

653. And I just can't help it.

654. She always finds something with a guy. "Like, he does this, so I can't…"

655. You know what I mean? So for her just to be, you know…

656. - With me making it this far. Yeah. - Then there must be something.

657. I'm very overcritical of you, but we are getting married,

658. so I just wanna make sure I'm sure when I say yes.

659. - Relax. You seem very stressed. - I am.

660. - I'm trying to chill. - Yeah.

661. I'm not chill though.

662. No, she's great though.

663. And you guys did a great job of raising her too.

664. - Thank you. - You're leaving her in good hands.

665. I've always been someone to give something my all, whatever I do.

666. School, football or a relationship, that's my teammate, right?

667. So I'm always gonna be in her corner.

668. - In life, you know, things get tough. - Yeah.

669. - You need somebody to help you. - Your best friend, right?

670. We need to be there for each other.

671. Before we leave, Nick, don't forget to grab that hat.

672. I'll go get it.

673. Well, what do you think?

674. I like him. I mean, he's nice. He's polite.

675. I mean, I like the guy.

676. Do I know him? No, I don't know him.

677. But he seems like his head's in the right place.

678. I do really like him and love him, and I enjoy him and stuff.

679. There's just, like, characteristics and things he does that…

680. Well, Hannah, if that was the case,

681. we would've thrown you out a long time ago.

682. - Yeah. - You gotta overlook some stuff.

683. You've gotta decide what you can live with.

684. What is worth really nitpicking over?

685. - What isn't? Let things go. - Mm-hmm.

686. Chewing, chomping.

687. I can't stand it, so Dad knows to eat in the closet.

688. So, let those small things go.

689. Everyone's gonna have flaws.

690. Somebody you can joke with. Somebody you can see yourself with.

691. If he's gonna be treating you good, that's the most important thing.

692. I'm glad you like him. I like him.

693. - I'm stressed. That's just how I am. - I like him.

694. - I got a lot going on. - Don't overthink it.

695. But don't under think it.

696. - Yeah. I know. - But it's what you put into it.

697. I should be more in love, having fun. I'm just, like, stressed out.

698. - You're the one with the blocker. - It's me. I know.

699. It's not him. He seems pretty relaxed.

700. You are like…

701. - Am I really? - Yeah, mad.

702. - You are. - Maybe I need a massage.

703. You have a new friend to give you a massage.

704. He wouldn't give me a massage.

705. He won't even suck my toe.

706. Oh, God.

707. What the hell are you talking about?

708. - All right, so don't go crazy.

709. - I'm not going anywhere. There's a lot happening in here.

710. - Do I have to take my shoes off? - Yeah, you can take your shoes off.

711. - I wanna see your home. Oh, Lord. I don't think it matters.

712. What's happening?

713. Ah, yes.

714. - You or me? You go ahead.

715. - All right, in we go.

716. Oh, my gosh.

717. - Wow. Okay. - Oh, my gosh.

718. So when I was packing to leave, trying to figure out what I was gonna wear,

719. then I couldn't decide, and then I couldn't put stuff away.

720. - Yeah. - Okay.

721. I don't know how this happened, actually. I'm telling you.

722. - I've been a hoarder of clothes and stuff. - I get it.

723. I literally was like, "I have to get rid of so much."

724. - You have a really big mirror. - I do.

725. - Too bad we can't see it. - Oh, my God.

726. Tim.

727. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

728. - So you see these trash bags? - I see 'em.

729. Okay, some of these I'm donating. Some of 'em I'm selling,

730. and then some I'm keeping, but I have to go through everything.

731. Mm-hmm.

732. I was cleaning this, so I never put these photos back up—

733. - Is this… - Oh, yeah. I love myself.

734. What's this?

735. - I have a bunch of stickers. You want one? - Sure.

736. Can I put it on my fridge?

737. All right, welcome to my home.

738. It's weird.

739. - What, being here? - I've never shown somebody my mess.

740. For me to have this is just like, it's weird.

741. It's okay. Everything's fine. Especially, like, once you put stuff away.

742. Just fine.

743. - Though in this mess, I feel at peace. - Mm-hmm.

744. - Like home. - I get it.

745. Like, I could fall asleep on the couch. I try not to.

746. - Yeah. - But it's so comfortable.

747. - No, this is, like, a comfortable couch. - I feel like—

748. You know what would make this couch better?

749. - Huh? - A reclining option.

750. Hmm.

751. Hello!

752. Taylor!

753. - This is Garrett. This is Garrett. - Hello.

754. Oh, I forgot about the ring!

755. Nice job, Garrett. You been lifting weights recently with that?

756. - This arm's really swole now. A lot stronger? Yeah.

757. Whoa, what is this?

758. I brought you that from South Africa because I know that you love fish.

759. - This is awesome. Thank you. I heard a lot about the fish.

760. There's some judgment.

761. - But we'll work through it. It's all good.

762. She's still working through it. We can work together.

763. - Should we sit? - Let's sit, yeah.

764. Did you have any idea what Taylor looked like?

765. No, I had nothing. It was very unique, and very Taylor, which I loved.

766. - Perfect. She wants to move to San Diego.

767. And has no interest in raising a family in Fredericksburg.

768. I'm glad you're being honest with him. That makes me happy.

769. I was like, "Does he know?"

770. It's a dream for me to, like, move back to San Diego.

771. I thought I'd always have to compromise on, but finding someone who

772. wants to make that dream happen for me is, like…

773. And it's not like I'm making him move to like Azkaban.

774. I mean, San Diego's amazing.

775. It's just far from Virginia,

776. and far from, like, everything you know and hold dear.

777. I just worry about that.

778. Like, do you feel like you might be making,

779. like, a lot more changes than you would like?

780. Like, you are going from Fredericksburg to San Diego potentially.

781. You are giving up the work life that you've set up,

782. your friends and family.

783. Like, it kind of sounds like a lot.

784. Before I met Taylor, I would've never thought I would have done these things.

785. That's why my friends are surprised. My family's surprised.

786. I've never felt anything like this. I never met anyone like Taylor.

787. What I have with Taylor is far and above worth, like, giving up everything over.

788. Working 60 to 70 hours. I need to scale it back to 40.

789. I will give up the businesses, and they can buy me out.

790. I don't want him to do that.

791. But I told her, honestly. My mom was surprised.

792. She was like, "You would really do that?"Yeah."

793. Honestly, Taylor's way worth giving up anything.

794. And so for me, like, I just wanna be with Taylor.

795. We are gonna start our own family and our own story.

796. That's what I'm most excited about.

797. I think that is, like, the holy grail of life.

798. Like, I can't imagine…

799. - I love you. - …doing anything else without her, so…

800. I'm very, very happy to go wherever she wants to go.

801. Knowing now what's in front of me with Taylor…

802. …yeah, I'll throw it all away. I'm just crazy about her.

803. This is an unbelievable feeling.

804. An unbelievable future I see in front of us.

805. And I'm so fucking crazy about her.

806. It's just, like, so interesting.

807. Like, I've just been looking at you this entire time,

808. and I'm like, "Wow, I've never seen you look at someone like this."

809. - You look so happy. - Yeah, it's almost scary.

810. I'm just like, "Wow! Like, what have you done with our friend?"

811. You know, like, the heart eyes emoji?

812. You literally look like the heart eyes emoji right now. It's like…

813. I love him a lot.

814. - I'm really happy, guys. - Aww.

815. I've never seen you hold hands with someone.

816. - Other than us! Other than, like, us. - Or touch someone's face.

817. Like touching someone…

818. I was like, "What?"

819. Who is she, and what have you done with Taylor?

820. I know! It's, like, disgusting, honestly.

821. I didn't think, like, going through this I was gonna take

822. what I've been calling a "quantum leap."

823. And he's like, "That's actually not that."

824. That's cute. I like it. I think it's really cute.

825. He's like, "That's actually not that far."

826. Oh, I love that!

827. Quantum is very small, actually.

828. Finally, someone to one-up Taylor on the science stuff.

829. Maybe your children will win Nobel Prizes.

830. Cheers, guys.

831. - Yeah! - Cheers!

832. - To love. - To Garret and Taylor.

833. So, my mom, what did you think about it? What did you think, really?

834. Um, I think it went good.

835. She needs therapy.

836. - Yeah. - She really does.

837. The whole prenuptial agreement thing.

838. What do you think about that?

839. - I'm A-okay with that. I'm not… I know.

840. I'm not here for money or anything else.

841. - So… - I don't have that much money yet.

842. Yeah, but obviously in the future,

843. we would be obviously in a different place financially.

844. Again, like, even in the future, that's not what I'm here for.

845. No.

846. I think she does feel good about at least the conversation

847. we had or, like, the energy she's getting from me.

848. I mean, she's being supportive of the wedding.

849. She hasn't at all been like, "Don't get married."

850. But, yeah, I think she's fine.

851. I know, like, my siblings are very pleased.

852. Yeah.

853. Do you think me meeting your mom will go like this?

854. Not at all.

855. Whenever there's family gatherings, I'mma need time to, like,

856. get my mind right before I step into that space.

857. I mean, it's chaotic as shit.

858. - It's a lot. - It's a lot.

859. All of you are like that.

860. Are you gonna say no to me at the altar?

861. - I feel great, baby. - Okay.

862. - No doubts? Any creeping doubts? - No doubts.

863. - No. - Any kernels of doubt?

864. No, I'm good. I'm locked in.

865. Okay, good. What's your timeline on kids?

866. Three to five years still?

867. Probably closer, like, to four.

868. Okay, we're getting married.

869. A year from now, I'll be 32.

870. - I don't wanna try having kids at 37. - After that.

871. Yeah, at the very minimum, three years.

872. - Not even two and a half? - Babe, what?

873. - I'm just wondering. - Where is this coming from? Okay.

874. I want us to have time, like, just for us.

875. I do need to talk to my doctor about birth control, then.

876. Yeah, we can't play these risky-ass games.

877. - Yeah, we're kind of risking it. - Yeah.

878. I didn't really wanna go back on birth control is the thing.

879. Right.

880. I mean, like, I don't want you to do it if it's gonna, like, affect you

881. in terms of, like, your health and, like, your mood.

882. I'll just have to wear condoms or something. I don't know, but…

883. I mean, I think…

884. Like, that's what I wanna go with, I think.

885. - Do you enjoy condom sex? - Yeah.

886. - Really? - Some of my best sex has been on a condom.

887. Huh. Okay.

888. I think we could definitely have condom sex, and it'd be fine.

889. How do you feel about that?

890. - Babe, this is bad! - No, but—

891. No, the thing is, like— yeah.

892. It's not— like, I don't— If I wear one, it's just not…

893. We can raw dog it.

894. And like…

895. We either have condom sex, or we don't have condom sex,

896. and we accept the consequences of not having condom sex, which sounds insane,

897. but it's the truth.

898. I'm okay if we got pregnant.

899. - What? - No, no, I'm just thinking through it. Um…

900. Yeah, so I definitely don't wanna, like, put you in a position

901. where, like, you're doing something that you don't wanna do.

902. Okay, cool. So we can just agree to have condom sex from here on out.

903. It's not really enjoyable, baby.

904. Sex is supposed to be, like, mutually enjoyable.

905. That's not something guys ever have the pressure of having to think about.

906. Yeah, well, here's the pressure. I'm not gonna go on birth control.

907. Okay.

908. Sounds good, baby.

909. We need to do what we need to do, but I need the sex to be enjoyable.

910. Whoo! This is pretty exciting.

911. It's not every day you meet your son's fiancée.

912. Does it sound weird that I have a fiancée?

913. - Yeah, I still need to get used to it. I skipped the girlfriend stage.

914. - Yes, exactly. That's one of the things we were saying.

915. I'm looking forward to seeing, you know, what my parents kind of think of Hannah.

916. There's the doorbell. Whoo-hoo!

917. This is very exciting.

918. I think my parents might be a little bit more nervous to meet Hannah

919. than I am for Hannah to meet them.

920. They're not used to this whole experience of me bringing someone home

921. and me being in love.

922. - Hey. Welcome.

923. - What's up? Hey.

924. - You're carrying a lot of gifts. I know. I'm ridiculous.

925. - Hi! - Oh, my goodness!

926. Oh, finally!

927. - You're beautiful. - Thank you.

928. - Nice to meet you. - That's Mama Dorka.

929. - Oh, you're beautiful. - Oh, thank you.

930. - Hi, Hannah. - It's nice to meet you.

931. - Nick Dorka Sr. - Nick Dorka Sr.

932. I gotta be careful with my makeup. Don't wanna get it all over you guys.

933. Thanks for coming.

934. - Of course. - Been anxious to meet you.

935. Yeah, this is very exciting.

936. I know you really like pineapples,

937. so I got you, like, a pineapple salt and pepper shaker.

938. - Oh, those are beautiful! - Oh, that is really cool.

939. And a pineapple dish. If you're ever hosting, you can put your dips in it.

940. Oh, my goodness! This is absolutely beautiful.

941. And then I got you a dozen of your favorite golf balls.

942. - Nick told me you're specific. - No, thank you.

943. - That is really cool. - This is beautiful.

944. - This is really beautiful. - My golf balls.

945. - So thoughtful. Thank you. - Thank you.

946. Of course! You guys are gonna be my in-laws.

947. - I have to go all-out. - I know.

948. - You're our daughter. - Yeah.

949. I was so excited to meet you guys.

950. Such a different pathway to get here, but I feel the same way.

951. It's so exciting. We're so happy for you guys.

952. - Maybe you can help me finish up dinner. - It smells delicious.

953. Nick's been raving about your cooking, so I'm excited to try it.

954. Ooh! Let me see.

955. - Oh, very beautiful. - Thank you.

956. Your hands are beautiful. So you gotta model that ring.

957. - Nick did good! - Very pretty.

958. I'll tell you what though. You guys are gonna have beautiful children.

959. - Beautiful eyes. Really? - That's what my mom said.

960. "They're gonna have beautiful green eyes like you, Han, yeah."

961. "Dark hair and freckles. They're gonna be so cute."

962. - I was like, "Oh, my God." - Beautiful skin too.

963. - Thank you. - All right, I'm sorry.

964. - I have to finish getting dinner ready. - Okay.

965. - And Hannah's gonna help me. - Watch you?

966. - Okay. We'll talk later. - Bye, y'all.

967. He'll never leave, for God's sake.

968. - I'm so glad you're here. - Yeah, me too.

969. I'm really glad.

970. Let me tell you what we're having.

971. So I've got ropa vieja.

972. Ropa vieja is probably the most popular Cuban food.

973. - Oh, it looks delicious. - Yeah.

974. Maybe you can try a little bit

975. and see if you think it needs anything.

976. - No, it's good. No, it's good. - You like it?

977. Doesn't need more salt or anything. It's perfect, yeah.

978. - All right, you passed the test. - It's good. It's good.

979. Wow, Nick, I just met your fiancée.

980. That was so interesting.

981. - Interesting, right? - She's a wonderful person.

982. How'd she pick you?

983. When I met your mom,

984. she forced me to grow in so many areas

985. that were uncomfortable.

986. I've grown so much, and I sort of see that

987. with your relationship with Hannah.

988. I can tell that she's gonna push me.

989. No matter whether it's trying new adventures,

990. trying new foods, be better at work.

991. You know, whatever it is, she's pushing me now.

992. Good. You're growing up.

993. I love Nick, really. I know it sounds insane.

994. Like, in the pods and stuff, at first, like,

995. I was a bit scared about him because— it's really funny.

996. He's not like that, but was coming off— He's very smooth-talking, nice voice.

997. I thought he was just coming off as a player.

998. - Mm-hmm. - Nick, one time, he came into the pod.

999. - I call him Nicky D. "Hey, Nicky D." - Nicky D.

1000. And we called him Mr. Rico Suave. And he loved it.

1001. - Yeah. - He thought that was the best thing ever.

1002. And Nick's like, "Hannah, I've got something to tell you."

1003. I was like, "Oh, no. He's breaking up with me."

1004. He goes, "I'm in love with you."

1005. - And I was like, "What?" - Oh, my goodness.

1006. Wow.

1007. Yeah, and I was like, "Really?"

1008. He had said he's never been in love before. I was like, "Wow."

1009. - And, like… yeah. - He's never ever said that before.

1010. I was like, "I love you too."

1011. And he, like, really opened up to me.

1012. I was like, "Wow. He really can get very vulnerable."

1013. We just had, like, the deepest talks ever—

1014. - I don't think he's done that with anyone. - Yeah.

1015. He does not share all that much,

1016. but he does feel deeply.

1017. And he's a good person.

1018. - I think he's got a really good heart. - He's a very good person.

1019. I love Nick. He's got the biggest heart I've ever seen in my life.

1020. He's such a genuine person, and he really cares for me, and it's just…

1021. I had to grow up just a little bit faster than Nick.

1022. I started working when I was 15,

1023. and parents cut me off at 18 and stuff, so I grew up really fast.

1024. When Nick doesn't know how to do things,

1025. I'm very hard and critical on him about it.

1026. I need to set myself back because we've had different ways of life.

1027. Maybe because I know how to do, like, things,

1028. and he doesn't, doesn't mean he has to.

1029. He'll figure it out, and he will learn.

1030. He just hasn't had to do it yet and stuff.

1031. I feel like that's the only little setback. Nothing big.

1032. I never have to worry about his loyalty, loving me.

1033. I never worry about him doing anything for me.

1034. And probably my kids have been pampered a little bit.

1035. You wanna give your kids what you didn't have.

1036. - Yeah, I get that. - It was all about sports with them.

1037. That's one thing that I don't regret is all the time we spent.

1038. - Yeah. - We went to every game, every practice.

1039. Spent every minute with them,

1040. and I think that's what's most important.

1041. - They'll remember that, hopefully. - Yeah.

1042. And I've asked him. In fact, I've said,

1043. "You know, Nick, are you gonna do this with your own kids?"

1044. He's like, "Oh, absolutely."

1045. "Those are some of the best memories, is knowing you guys were there."

1046. So I think he's used to being around strong women.

1047. Yeah.

1048. So he's never gonna say to you,

1049. "Oh, you know, you're just a little woman."

1050. - Never. Yeah. - He's never gonna say anything like that.

1051. I would never think he'd say anything like that. He's just such a good human.

1052. - Nick's personality matches mine. - He's a cutie.

1053. He is a cutie. You may be biased. You did birth him.

1054. I think she exceeded my expectations. I have to be honest.

1055. Dinner is ready.

1056. - All right. - All right, I'm hungry.

1057. - First, I thought she was beautiful. - Beautiful.

1058. And just so quick with a smile.

1059. Very warm.

1060. Family person.

1061. - Cheers. - Hear, hear!

1062. And just so together.

1063. I thought she's everything Nick said she was.

1064. Yeah, and more.

1065. - This is delicious. - I'm glad you like it.

1066. - It's really good. - It is. Good job, Hannah.

1067. I cut up the avocado, so thank you.

1068. She did. She did a great job.

1069. I do think he's in love. I've never seen him so smitten.

1070. The way that, you know, they look at each other and…

1071. It's just different.

1072. When you guys get married, who's gonna do most of the cooking?

1073. I really enjoy cooking. Nick can be the griller,

1074. and I'll be the cooker, you know.

1075. If that's what you wanna do, that's fine with me.

1076. He wants to be better. He wants to grow for her.

1077. He wants to learn new things.

1078. I've never heard him say stuff like that before.

1079. Nick's a great person, got a good heart. He's a lovely person.

1080. You don't have that without good parents and stuff.

1081. I knew you guys were gonna be great, and you guys are wonderful.

1082. Thank you. I can't tell you how great it is to have you in our home.

1083. I mean, I see why Nick is in love with you.

1084. - I think we're a little in love with you. - That's so sweet.

1085. You're really, really lovely,

1086. and I would love it if you became our daughter.

1087. I would just add that if it doesn't work out between you and Nick,

1088. you're welcome to stay with us and Nick can go.

1089. We've got rooms upstairs. Just don't stay here while I'm here.

1090. I'm not sure this is like a resolution kind of conversation.

1091. "Oh, let's hug and pretend like nothing happened."

1092. - Yeah. - Like, for me, this is not that.

1093. You know, this is a big thing.

1094. You know, I left.

1095. I needed to separate

1096. and get by myself

1097. and just, like, get my thoughts together.

1098. I just don't understand

1099. how our superpower seems like it's not our superpower anymore.

1100. Um…

1101. I feel like we had, like, such great communication.

1102. And I don't understand… how

1103. two weeks before our wedding, you drop this kind of bomb.

1104. Like, I'm replaying and thinking of every conversation we've had

1105. where this could have been brought up, and I'm thinking, "Why? Why? Why? Why?"

1106. We're talking about joining a union.

1107. Like, merging lives.

1108. This is something I should have known before agreeing to say yes.

1109. The last thing I wanna lose is your trust.

1110. Especially two weeks before marriage

1111. when I've been running around screaming how we're getting married.

1112. You've been running around here talking about how we're getting married,

1113. but you've also been running around saying how you wanna have kids now.

1114. And it's like, "Whoa, how did you…"

1115. It's like, "How did you,

1116. like, even talk about any of that?"

1117. I just can't wrap my mind around it.

1118. Without even considering your past

1119. at all.

1120. Like, we've talked about kids every day.

1121. It's not "your kid." Kids.

1122. But they are your kids.

1123. And it's with someone that you know.

1124. What are their genders?

1125. Two girls and a boy.

1126. Mm.

1127. Now, that's what, three extra kids?

1128. Like, that's wild.

1129. Who are these people? I just feel like I should know that.

1130. "Here's a picture."

1131. "You know, here's this, that." I have nothing.

1132. You've yet to show me anything.

1133. "Here are the documents that say, like, I'm uninvolved."

1134. Like, I need to know everything.

1135. I'm not upset by you trying to help a couple have kids.

1136. I think that's admirable in certain ways, but the issue comes in

1137. with me feeling like I was not

1138. getting the full picture of you.

1139. And once you're not given the full picture

1140. of something, it's hard to not question everything.

1141. Me being a single woman before this,

1142. to come in this scenario, fall in love with a guy

1143. who has three sperm babies,

1144. sperm-donor babies is a lot to absorb.

1145. And the wedding is in, like, two weeks.

1146. I wanna make it clear, like, what you're feeling is valid.

1147. Mm-hmm.

1148. And just sitting right here, I'm not asking for forgiveness.

1149. I'm just asking for a chance.

1150. I would love to marry you.

1151. I do want a family with you.

1152. I would like you here,

1153. and if you need your space, you got your space.

1154. I'll get you whatever you need to feel comfortable and safe.

1155. At the end of the day, like I said, I respect you, and I want you to be happy.

1156. Even if you tell me that, like,

1157. "I've thought about it, and my happiness isn't with you."

1158. Because

1159. I'll fight until you tell me to stop fighting.

1160. We were… very happy.

1161. But if we can't count on each other, what the fuck do we have, Tyler?

1162. It's like, what do we have? Love? Is love enough?

1163. For a relationship? For a marriage? I don't know.

1164. I really am sorry.

1165. I didn't see this coming. Like, I didn't see this coming at all.

1166. And it's so crazy, 'cause I was so sure.

1167. I'm sorry.

1168. I love you.

1169. I love you too.

1170. Just give me a chance, please.

1171. I don't want this to be the way our story goes or ends.

1172. You're the person I want for me. Like, I want it to be us till the end.

1173. I can always look in your eyes, be like, "This is the woman I fell in love with."

1174. - I like that. - Give me some beautiful grandbabies.

1175. I am somebody who loves you and is invested in you.

1176. I can't wait to start a life with Taylor.

1177. - Why are you laughing? - You make me happy. I don't know.

1178. Taylor had, like, this quiet confidence.

1179. She just gradually worked her way into my heart.

1180. - I don't know. - What are you worried about?

1181. We don't really have enough history.

1182. Sex is really important.

1183. Just trying to figure out long-term if that would be an issue for me.

1184. My parents drove here ten hours to meet you.

1185. As soon as the cameras cut, you decided to go to sleep.

1186. He's a sperm donor. He has three kids.

1187. Yeah.

1188. - Who is that? - Bohdi!

1189. - Hey. - Am I what you thought?

1190. I guess I expected you to be pretty, in my head.

1191. You can call me pretty.

1192. Hearing his voice, it feels very uncomfortable.

1193. - You're a beautiful soul. - Thank you.

1194. I was attracted to you from day one. I really like you.

1195. Hey, love is maybe not blind!

1196. …feel accepted.

1197. I just, like, don't wanna rush into a decision.

1198. - I know you're not— - That's it.

1199. - I don't wanna go through your phone. - I'm not hiding anything.

1200. There's just too many red flags.

1201. - What conversation with Katie? - Why don't you ask her what happened?

1202. - Are we mature enough? - Are you mature enough, Nick?

1203. That's not my fault that she came up to you five times and said I was hot.

1204. This is not gonna be easy.

1205. And there's literally going to be multiple times we're going to bash heads,

1206. but we have to know how to navigate it.

1207. Now is the time to decide if love is blind.

1208. He's marrying a stranger to us.

1209. He hasn't accepted you.

1210. - Don't know if I'm gonna do this. - Please rise.

1211. I'm not going to say yes unless I mean it, and I mean it forever.
