00:00:45One of my favorite people in life, like I'm willing and ready to like change my life. I feel so good about us
00:00:52I do too
00:00:54I've never felt this before with like anyone in my life. Me either
00:00:57I've been looking for him for a really long time. This is it like no question. Yes. That's how you feel
00:01:04Well, I won't know until you meet my dad. Honestly, he's gotta give this
00:01:09Bring it on. You feel like I'm like bossy cuz I feel like I am you could try to be but I'm in a move object
00:01:15I can't have nobody
00:01:18Awesome immature
00:01:21Who's so excited meeting everyone else
00:01:25Because all it does is sort of I love you
00:01:28To death. I'm like being chatted again. Literally cannot get a word in we're gonna race Nick
00:01:37Pissed me off for the first time the girl was like, oh it looks like your girl's just a jealous little bit
00:01:42And
00:01:44Hand with wrote down fucking note of like 10 things like mature question mark
00:01:48I have concerns that were like our relationship and like what we need to address to make sure that like we're 100% like when we
00:01:55Go to the altar. I just want to make sure we're there. I'm not the only one delusional. I
00:02:00Started to feel very very disrespected like when you actually left. I thought you really want to come back
00:02:04I love you, but at a certain point I had to have some respect for myself
00:02:12Maybe
00:02:32Good morning from Cabo
00:02:34Morning, Stephen's taking me to a Mexican restaurant. I get to drive like to drive on these wild roads
00:02:41Wish me love
00:02:51Vacations amazing. I never want to leave never wouldn't leave her side. You better not
00:03:04Sorry looking good. She just woke up like this. Yeah doesn't make sense
00:03:11I've been loving it here. I wish I could wake up to this every day. You could we just move here
00:03:23Got some good rest this morning. Have a nice breakfast out here
00:03:26Is there anything you think you need to work on or sometimes I can be a little selfish or some things I'd say
00:03:32I should probably think twice before I say it. Yeah, I think I'm realizing I need to work on being less bitchy sometimes a
00:03:40Little bit she's good. But um, yeah, but I can work on being kind of you sometimes
00:03:44I think sometimes you just frustrate me and I'm not I never like to get angry or like mean or yell or anything
00:03:48I'm just like, oh Nick, come on, but I need to be like more patient with you. I think come on Nick. What the fuck?
00:04:01Just shave the neck or not. What do you think? Do you think it'll look cleaner? Oh
00:04:06We'll definitely clean it really what's the look?
00:04:08So the fence not the hood. I think you should shave it. Cool. There goes
00:04:15Deal, sorry. Tell me what to do
00:04:18And I'm obliged it
00:04:20He likes it a little bit
00:04:31Oh my god
00:04:35I was in there for seven years and I was stationed on destroyers and managed divisions of sailors
00:04:45I
00:04:47Cannot navigate a ship like specifically a USS naval destroyer. I could probably drive this yacht
00:04:55I miss being out to sea. This is so exciting. I closed my eyes
00:04:59Yeah, I'm not a Navy boat
00:05:00Like I realized you're in the Navy but I didn't realize how much like you loved boats and stuff like that
00:05:05I guess I didn't
00:05:07There's like a lot of sweet moments in the Navy and like being out to sea and like being with your crew and your service
00:05:13Members, but I was away from home a lot. I miss a lot of holidays
00:05:16It's hard to keep a relationship
00:05:17It's been a few years, but it was a huge part of my life and all my friends mainly are from military. Yeah
00:05:23You look so good. Thank you look amazing. I feel like this makes a good for a great photo right here. Yes
00:05:30Let's take a video first. Let's take a video first
00:05:34Don't slide off
00:05:36I'm a mariner. I'm a sailor. Yeah, I'm sorry. I have my sea legs
00:05:41Looks so good. Yeah. Yes
00:05:43Did you a little bath? Yes, I'm a mariner. I'm a sailor. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm a mariner. Yeah, I'm a mariner
00:05:49I'm a mariner. I'm a sailor. Yeah, I'm a mariner
00:05:52Yes work
00:06:11This morning I woke up and I thought I was going home
00:06:15What happened last night between Alex and I that shit wasn't cool
00:06:22I
00:06:30Trying to be positive, but I'm just
00:06:32Taking in what he said. I knew he was upset
00:06:36but I didn't know the extent of how upset he was until he spoke on it, so
00:06:41Yeah
00:06:44Because I see
00:06:47That she kind of can understand where I'm coming from and is willing to listen I
00:06:53Am more than willing to like keep exploring this
00:07:01Knowing that he came in today that he had every intention of this being the last conversation and now he wants to have another
00:07:07conversation gives me like the optimism that it's
00:07:11Going in the right direction
00:07:14I
00:07:16Were supposed to be going ATV riding. I have no idea what that looks like
00:07:20Especially since Tim originally had no intention of doing that with me
00:07:25She is my fiance and hopefully will be my wife
00:07:28I do generally loves him and I do want to bring him home and introduce him to my family and get married to him but
00:07:37this whole situation
00:07:40Definitely put a hold
00:07:43On it, I guess until we figure out what happens now what happens next
00:07:49I
00:08:04Got $20
00:08:07Big camel. Yeah, are you doing this?
00:08:10Oh
00:08:17He move a lot
00:08:20Can you see yourself getting married in three weeks?
00:08:23Yes, I could see myself getting married tomorrow to be honest to you. Really honest to God
00:08:28Like I mean obviously more things to learn. Yeah, but like I just I don't think I'll ever find a guy like you ever again
00:08:36Honestly, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you
00:08:41I
00:08:45Family holidays. Yeah, what's that look like as far as us once we have like kids and stuff like
00:08:53You have to split it up. I guess last year. I stayed home for Christmas
00:08:56I cooked a big meal for myself. Like I literally made a baked mac and cheese collard greens
00:09:02Fried chicken funny. How about I did the same thing? Yeah, I made crab cakes
00:09:08Food a Mac. Oh, yeah, you know what I want to do though. What?
00:09:13Right come up with our own traditions
00:09:15Like mine was like s'mores with my mom for holidays that we like we could keep on every year like Christmas
00:09:20We do this we should create our own
00:09:23Like ornament tree ornament. I just thought yeah, just something but
00:09:28when we have like a
00:09:30That'd be cool. Even when we have kids
00:09:33Every year we do like a deep dive like old Christmas movies and I love Christmas talking my language. I
00:09:40Made my own ugly Christmas sweater. We can host ugly sweater parties. We can so I'm a big costume person
00:09:46I'm a big theme person. I already talked to the guys. We are doing a Halloween dress-up
00:09:51I mean, honestly, you're the kind of person I can hang with you anywhere. That's what I'm saying. I don't care what we do
00:09:56We gotta get married. I
00:09:59Love that
00:10:02I
00:10:12You ready
00:10:14Oh
00:10:29My gosh, oh I wouldn't I wouldn't do it again. Oh one more. I'm not ready to die yet
00:10:36Oh
00:10:41My god, I hope I can have kids after
00:10:47We did it girl
00:10:52Take a seat, please. Yeah. Okay. I'll do the door
00:11:00If I'm here ready
00:11:06Three two one
00:11:16There you go
00:11:24Perfect come back here
00:11:32I see you
00:11:35That was amazing
00:11:37Come this way tell me it's been a while
00:11:42Good job, I'm proud of you
00:11:45I'm still a little weak in the knees. I know you know what a bunch of them gives me the same feeling
00:11:51Baby, uh-huh. Oh my gosh, right exhilarating
00:11:55Right
00:12:02Whoa
00:12:07It's very cool. Hello guys, welcome factory. He's gotta make a custom figure for you. Okay
00:12:18Wow, it's so cool
00:12:20It's beautiful
00:12:23Very fitting for a man that's very about fish. So this is gonna go in your place
00:12:38It's like there is something that's been kind of weighing on me and like bothering I just want to like address it in a pod
00:12:44I remember you specifically telling me like we're together like I'm gonna get you flower
00:12:50I've waited a long time to like find the right person the actions
00:12:54matching up with the words right like
00:12:57That's gonna be really important to me. You're right. You're right and
00:13:02it I
00:13:06Was using that as a concept but like it wouldn't be flowers
00:13:10But it'd be something along those lines of the kid like flowers to me. I
00:13:15Get it it's not about the flowers. No, it's about it's about making me feel special like, you know, the love languages
00:13:22You know, I'm a big voice of affirmation as a service person
00:13:25But my third one is gifts and like I show love like I for Christmas day
00:13:30I will get everyone that I know the most thoughtful
00:13:33Gift I'll spend I spend money on like making people smile. Yes. There's always been my last
00:13:38even for Christmas, I
00:13:41think the last time
00:13:43My family was able to like really provide gifts for everyone. Yeah
00:13:48Years ago. I haven't really gotten a Christmas gift in like a long time when it comes to our financial upbringing
00:13:55I refuse to let that be the thing that ever like put space between us. I have not once felt like our
00:14:03Financial upbringing differences. It was like like I know I don't have to get you something
00:14:10Top quality like a Kate Spade that so
00:14:15Like a YSL bag. I don't even know what that is. I believe time you've heard of Louis Vuitton
00:14:20Is he like a big deal?
00:14:22It's big. Yeah
00:14:27Yeah, I don't want to sound materialistic but I also want like
00:14:31You special. Yeah
00:14:34No, you're right, right and you know and I dropped the ball on that
00:14:40I'm not happy about that. I do recognize that like you wrote me a poem
00:14:45After days meeting me and you sang me Edwin McCain and like those things melt my heart
00:14:51deeply
00:14:52But I also am who I am like, I also flower sometimes. I really don't want to disappoint you. It's just it's a lot
00:14:59What's a lot?
00:15:00moving forward with marriage
00:15:03it's just like such a massive decision and I just don't want to
00:15:09Feel forced into doing something because that's I don't think that's fair to you
00:15:14You know if suddenly I'm having second thoughts the next thing, you know, are you like that? I'm so confused. No, no, no
00:15:19No, I know. No, I'm early. I'm so confused. I'm not I'm not, you know, I'm just you are it's okay
00:15:25Say it like no, I'm not having something you're saying things like second like what what fuck?
00:15:32I'm not looking me in the eye. Yeah, I know cuz I'm trying to think
00:15:36Right. Let me think of how best to work
00:15:40I'm by no means afraid to marry you
00:15:45Like I am genuinely
00:15:49I'm just
00:15:50Nervous about the whole thing because it's a huge huge commitment and it's not that I'm second-guessing being with you
00:15:57You know, I just don't want to feel
00:16:00overwhelmed when the moment comes
00:16:03To meet you at the altar
00:16:06You're fucking kidding me you like day one we're like I'm in love with you I'm gonna marry you
00:16:10I want to be with you and like you knew what this was like
00:16:13We knew what we were getting ourselves into these are things that I was very much hoping
00:16:18You had thought through. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right before being so sure
00:16:26Okay
00:16:28No, I thought you were like about to cry, you know, I mean, I'm listening I just I appreciate yeah
00:16:33I appreciate Michelle a lot like dude, let's take it
00:16:38You're right. Stop. I don't like all that matters is you and I all that matters
00:16:43Right. Yeah. Yeah. I
00:16:46Love you
00:17:03Oh
00:17:12Hell no, oh
00:17:17My god stay cool. Oh, I like my feet on the ground
00:17:27You got this
00:17:33I
00:17:38Don't think we'll be alive
00:17:41That was so scary, okay now I trust you with my life did you got us over that bridge?
00:17:50So pretty look at this
00:17:56You good, yeah
00:17:59I think it's beautiful. You can see like all the way down the beach
00:18:05Yeah, no the bridge was not what I feel like I feel like the bridge was kind of like a trust
00:18:10Exercise it can be a bridge to a new beginning
00:18:14I
00:18:17Still love you, you know
00:18:22We have what we had but like let's
00:18:25Leave that where it is. I like start a new same page
00:18:36So you're gonna come back to the hotel room
00:18:40You're gonna say something. Oh, well you will
00:18:47First to take a nap
00:18:49And then a shower cuz I'm dusty as hell
00:18:52But yeah, I'll come back I
00:18:55Think we'll be okay. I
00:18:58Do want to keep moving forward?
00:19:00Like I said, the first thing we do is cross that big-ass bridge. Yeah
00:19:04We could get across there. We'll be all right. Yeah, you know I'm saying. Yeah, just don't look down
00:19:09So are you excited to come back? I am
00:19:13I'm excited. I am I am
00:19:16This view is beautiful, I know you getting down. Yeah, but I don't know how I'm gonna get down
00:19:21I'm just honest to God. Give me your hand and then jump
00:19:32Oh, look at that bird, it's like a pelican swooping down. It's gorgeous
00:19:46Ah
00:20:11There we go
00:20:14What's up, bro
00:20:30We got this to ride camels you guys got to ride a fucking camel yeah stop dude, that's at the top of my bucket
00:20:37Do you feel like you're teaching a lot of things yeah, yeah a lot
00:20:45I'm sure like he'll teach me something to eventually but like
00:20:52Cuz he like had a suitcase doesn't see yeah
00:20:57Yes, he was going to leave the entire experience oh my god, I'm like
00:21:01I'm not this man's number. Yeah
00:21:04It's this man, please. I'm never going to speak to him again. So what happened? We smoothed it over
00:21:14We have to go see that let's go see right now, yeah
00:21:31I
00:21:59Got everything I need
00:22:01Yeah
00:22:18She finally told me to where it sunk in where I was like
00:22:32I was talking with
00:22:34I'm sorry. Okay, we were like
00:23:00But I try not to be hard on myself are you good
00:23:05We're good
00:23:08I just gave him a hard time for not watching the fireworks with me
00:23:15He's so scared of me right now
00:23:20Thanks, baby
00:23:22Sparkling water
00:23:25So, I don't know if you like sparkling water, I'm not a big fan
00:23:29Also
00:23:31Sorry Garrett was like
00:23:42You said to me earlier today you're gonna make it for the flowers, but it's okay Taylor and I cuddled each other outside by the fireworks
00:23:49Your man and I were having a very like
00:23:51Serious moment about something and like then the fireworks happened and I was like, I like please finish your thought
00:23:57I felt like it would have been rude to say hey, hold on. Yeah
00:24:01We have like such limited time and like things happen and and knowing Garrett and the way that his brain works
00:24:07It's like I know this man needs to get it out being a quantum physicist. He uses
00:24:13Different thinking patterns than I do to describe shit and I kind of suck sometimes of describing shit. I don't know if that's true
00:24:19Yeah, I don't think you suck at describing me. Thank you this situation. There's gonna be a time for all of us
00:24:26Where like if you make it on the show
00:24:28Regardless like you're going to have eventually have people
00:24:33Confronting you people that know you, you know that are complete strangers like oh, I know your entire backstory
00:24:40And for a lot of guys like there are women that are homewreckers out there that are like
00:24:45I don't give a fuck what your situation is. I want to suck your dick. No, you're fine. It's happening
00:24:50Well, we were talking here. You need to understand where you're deep-rooted at. This is where I'm coming back. Don't worry
00:24:57I'll feed you baby bird. I'll bring it home
00:25:01No, no, no, no, no, but you will be tempted in a situation that you've never been tempted before because you know
00:25:08Like suddenly you have this spotlight on and you need to understand where you're at. Let me get a phone check. Okay
00:25:17You need to understand why you're here with this specific person, okay. Yeah, I'm okay. I'm kind of annoyed
00:25:23I've been scared
00:25:25Because of the process of this has moved both so quickly and so suddenly that it's scary
00:25:30But not once have I questioned how I feel about this one
00:25:54Oh
00:26:01How are you feeling going back to real life as an engaged woman I'm excited but I'm also scared to live with you
00:26:08Why are you scared?
00:26:09How you're like? I'm really not on vacation. Yeah, that's true. Do you expect me to cook every day?
00:26:14Oh, come on door. That's just she
00:26:17I'm not she that's fine. I don't like I don't like dishes. There's a long do dirty stuff only food
00:26:24Yeah
00:26:28Yeah, I can't wait to see your apartment I can't wait for you to see my house and then of course my bedroom
00:26:36Please me for oh, I'm serious. You don't learn to believe in me one of these days
00:26:47Oh
00:26:54This is the only real annoying part of
00:26:57The end of all this. Mm-hmm having to refold and repack everything
00:27:03Like
00:27:06What is it the shirt
00:27:08Do you like your do you button all of your shirts before you fold the shirt to put it in the seat?
00:27:13It's just I'm just to keep it together. Yeah
00:27:15Yeah
00:27:17fascinating
00:27:18We do it in the morning and you can play with me or at least play with me until I fall asleep. No
00:27:25You're right
00:27:27Maybe if I didn't make such a mess to begin with right
00:27:32Hi, I'm thinking the same is probably in with
00:27:41Hi, hi
00:27:44Love you. I love you
00:27:47I
00:28:08It's like I've known you for years I just really appreciated you making me feel like
00:28:13Extra comfortable and like going at the pace that like I
00:28:17Needed to go out for us to like deepen our relationship. I just feel like it wouldn't have been
00:28:22Like authentic or genuine if I went at any other pace, so thank you. I love you
00:28:36Yeah, it's been just right I feel it's been just right
00:28:40Mm-hmm feel like I said in the pods like everything's just gonna get harder unless you've gone through this process
00:28:45But pretty shocking to explain that to people who like love and care for us and are probably gonna be
00:28:51Also skeptical kind of makes me nervous
00:28:53that's not to say like I'm gonna make my decision based off of like what everyone else thinks our best and honest shot at it is
00:29:01All we can do and like I think we've like both decided that's what we want to do
00:29:06Yeah, if it's not tell me now
00:29:10Let me see it. It's good separate flights, please
00:29:26You got me
00:29:30You ready to go back home I am she still loves me y'all right
00:29:41I'm about to head out to the airport. I got to get ready. See you in DC
00:30:01It's from all of Garrett's bikinis
00:30:11Welcome to our nation's capital, Washington, DC
00:30:21Well, this is nice our couples are about to enter the most intense phase of this experiment
00:30:28I
00:30:29Love it
00:30:30Living together in the real world. The shower is big enough for two people. They've gotten their devices back
00:30:37I'd love to see your Instagram. Oh my god. I'm sure it's all the reasons that
00:30:41We're glad that love is blind. I just like yeah, well looks race age family or financial considerations come into play my dad
00:30:49Am I said mom?
00:30:51They're gonna have a lot of questions
00:30:54How will they integrate their lives their homes careers?
00:30:57Will they allow modern distractions or the opinions of others to sabotage them? What was your best phone call today?
00:31:03Sam I was just like listen, I'm gonna get you this weirdo. So this weirdo
00:31:07I was like, I've never seen you sit with a smile like that. I was like mom. Shut up
00:31:11Started with love a true emotional connection now in just three weeks
00:31:15Our couples will be at the altar and have to make the most important decision of their lives
00:31:19Make sure Ashley doesn't get sick of me. What's your plan for that?
00:31:22Great. Will they prove that love truly is blind?
00:31:27I
00:31:29Decided to live together
00:31:31Yeah, a little different. We've kind of been living together though, you know, one thing that bothers me too is like cushions I get messed up
00:31:37I
00:31:38Can't do it. What's that cushions? Oh, they don't they don't stay up like that. It bothers me so much for some reason
00:31:47Yeah
00:31:48Luna's coming how you want to work that out you want to just like I mean, it's your dog
00:31:52So, but if you want to like me to help you out do 5050 every other day. I'm cool with that
00:31:58Oh, it's probably you every day Nick
00:32:00Really?
00:32:05Now I'm used to it, but yeah, I'm just saying help me out Sam. Yeah. No, I got you. I got you
00:32:10She's my princess, baby. Mm-hmm
00:32:12Lunadorka Lunadorka
00:32:14Think you're someone who
00:32:16Needs to be told to do things or you won't do them
00:32:18Like if the trash needs taken out you're not just gonna take it out
00:32:21Like if I ask you I think you'll do it, but I'm definitely you don't think if I put if I put some food in
00:32:26The trash and it's full. You don't think I'll take it out. I don't think but I don't know either
00:32:30We haven't had to take the trash out yet, right? I really hope like you say you're gonna take Luna out in the morning
00:32:34Hope you do. Yeah, I'm younger than you and I'm more mature than you. You think you're more mature than me. Yeah
00:32:44You can't even keep a straight face
00:32:46Look this brings up more emotionally intelligent this brings up a and intelligent
00:32:51We're just gonna gloss over that this brings up a fantastic point. You think you're more mature than me
00:32:56How are you gonna bring someone more?
00:32:58Immature into your space your personal space your oasis and be able to live with me. That's my biggest concern
00:33:04How do you think that's gonna work? Can you mount on TV? No
00:33:09Guess what I can I can fill a bread up with water
00:33:12I
00:33:17Could do everything
00:33:19Okay, that so obviously I can too other than mount a TV. Okay, I'm gonna do the laundry. I'm gonna make us food
00:33:26I'm gonna clean the dishes like I'm put them in a dishwasher. I'm gonna get groceries the patriarchy in our house. Sound good
00:33:32I'll take the dog out
00:33:36What's the first meal you're gonna cook for me
00:33:38What's something that you love to cook it's like your specialty I could do like a fish dish I could like I can
00:33:45I could do a steak in here. I can make a salad
00:33:48You can make a salad Nick like a salmon salad or a chicken salad
00:33:56Yeah, exactly yes chef no, you know I make a mean mean mean bowl of cereal
00:34:03You can keep that to yourself
00:34:05I'm so independent. It's my way or the highway. Well, that's gonna taste some adjusting. Yeah
00:34:11Obviously we have good communication, but I'm not gonna say anything like mean and rash
00:34:14So if that happens just give you some time and space. Yeah, gotcha. And then a kiss after an hour
00:34:20Nick why you three after an hour the three? Oh shit. I'll just leave and go to work
00:34:26And then you'll text me and be like, babe. I miss you. No, I love you
00:34:29I'm just such an independent person in a lot of space type of gal. So yeah, I'm excited to live with you, though
00:34:34I just have one job to do to make you happy
00:34:54This is awesome, holy shit, this is so this is so great dude, I mean Cabo what friends over
00:35:04Yeah, I mean we're hosting we're hosting the party in here gonna buy flowers
00:35:11Mmm
00:35:13This is cool. Like I feel like I only ever see this in Instagram pictures
00:35:18What like these kind of views? Yeah, it's right. It's really sick. Then we got a breakfast nook get the bug out of here
00:35:27Groceries
00:35:29wine beer flowers

00:36:30Are you still making a face from the tequila?
00:36:34Where's my kiss gross? No, your kiss was not gross. It's great kiss was great kiss
00:36:45Why'd you gonna love this wine well, I don't know my Instagram just
00:36:49Should be attracting women
00:36:51That is like the really interesting great part of the experiment is that you don't have the social media and you don't have like the committee
00:36:57of friends that look at your
00:37:00Yeah, and they're like
00:37:02Give you the ick. Okay. Yeah, it's a bit far coming from the person that hasn't been in a relationship for seven years
00:37:09That's my choice
00:37:11Cuz I'm a strong independent man. He has an Instagram full of fish
00:37:15All right, get your phone just step into the hot
00:37:23Okay, this is a big moment for a relationship we get to see each other's social media I
00:37:31Don't like that this is being built up
00:37:33It's not a big deal. I'm not gonna totally get the ick and then leave. I promise. Are you trying to convince me or yourself?
00:37:44I
00:37:49Just set some like context first I got here all I do is work and when I don't work I go spearfishing so
00:37:56Naturally all I post about
00:37:59This spearfishing, but it's mostly just fish. Okay, but like, you know, you know, very
00:38:07nice fish
00:38:08the best fish like dangerous fish
00:38:15Risk my ass
00:38:18Like life on the edge like almost died chasing these fish
00:38:24Here we go
00:38:29But look at that one
00:38:31Fish is basically make it black and white. It says so much by saying so little Wow. Look how happy you are
00:38:39This thing, huh? Hey, no little bass. Okay, we get it. The fish is as big as you
00:38:46I'd swipe right
00:38:52You know, you're the best catch of them all
00:39:00That should be your wedding hashtag best catch no, no, we're not gonna get that freaking corny that would be ridiculous
00:39:07Actually write that down
00:39:17You think this bed is big enough for the both of us, yeah, it's a queen-size mine at home is a king
00:39:22So like it means you have to cuddle with me
00:39:25Okay
00:39:27I
00:39:38Chose a man that doesn't like to cuddle you chose a man who's with me. I hate it here. I
00:39:45Have to force this man to be the big spoon
00:39:47Oh
00:39:56Let me turn down the covers for you
00:39:58Thank You concert. Yeah, I like that. I also love that. We like the same temperature. Yeah, I cannot sleep in the heat

00:41:04How do you feel about that when you hear it? Um, honestly, the only nerves I have is like just talking to your mom
00:41:10Yeah, probably I'm excited you like wedding planning with you because I feel like it's not just gonna be me planning a lot
00:41:17Like I don't need well, that's true
00:41:25Probably I don't know potentially I do like specific things. Yeah
00:41:29Which I'm sadded about though because I never wanted to like marry someone where it's like
00:41:32I'm playing the way you plan. Oh, it shows up. Yeah such bullshit. Yeah, it's indicative of like maybe how they feel
00:41:40Relationship. Yeah, I'm excited. I mean the only other thing I'm nervous about is just you know, you're a little black, you know black wedding
00:41:50Like envision what like a I really have a wedding would look like everyone just walking in wearing black
00:41:56It was so cool. And then I'm in white and my man's in a white tux that looks so dark
00:42:01Not really, I'll be shining up to learn the room in my beautiful white dress
00:42:12Babe we're black. Well, yeah, we're black. But like I'm saying like no, I love the color black like it's just a great color
00:42:19It's slimming. It's hot. Like it's cool. Black is not babe. No, we're not doing black in the in the way
00:42:25Black
00:42:29Don't try me. Love you. All right
00:42:56And
00:42:58Morning everyone on our way to fberg
00:43:09Garrett's bringing home a city girl
00:43:11To meet everyone technically you're from like a beach metropolis. So we're gonna call us
00:43:17I'm pretty sure it's a city. It's like a man. It's like America's finest city
00:43:22I also live in DC. We'll table that one for now. Oh, that's right. Yeah, you're DC girl. Okay, so
00:43:30I'm not an analyst
00:43:32Policy consultants you analyze papers and you can you can use you consult based on that. Okay, so the diary
00:43:37It was over
00:43:47I'll get the door. You got that? No, I got it. All right, go right in
00:43:53Hello
00:43:56This is Taylor, it's Taylor. Hey, how are you? Nice to meet you
00:44:02Hi
00:44:04How are you good, this is Mikayla Kayla, hi, I've heard so much about you guys
00:44:10Tristan hi, we got you some flowers. Thank you. I'm gonna bring them in the after where we're gonna go
00:44:17Beautiful and this is for you. Uh-huh. Nice. Thank you
00:44:23We got you this too. Yeah, look don't put it next to these by the way
00:44:28No comparison looks a little weak now, no, it's all good. You gave me him. So that's all that matters
00:44:35He's a good egg, well, let's see the ring
00:44:40Very pretty
00:44:41Garrett was my number one since day one. Yeah, it was it was definitely very like vulnerable experience for sure
00:44:47That's what really shocks me
00:44:49The most I think about is because you're have never been one to wear your heart on your sleeve or share
00:44:56Really surprised good for you. I wanted her I had to die to break out
00:45:05Typically when we have our Sunday meals together as a family, he's our bartender. He he is the master mixologist
00:45:12It's like it's like chemistry. So her actually undergrad was in chemistry
00:45:16She's a little bar. Yes a new bartender
00:45:18So she actually makes like a skinny margarita, but like the secret is like honey, which is cool because I gave her the honey
00:45:23Oh, there you go. We got lots of honey
00:45:25The only times I use my chemistry degree is like making drinks and dating Garrett life's changing fast. Yeah, that's crazy
00:45:31I overheard that your parents absolutely do not want to
00:45:36Participate so to speak. So how's that gonna work?
00:45:38I think they were just worried about like cameras coming to their house
00:45:42But they know that this is really important to me and that like I didn't just meet some guy
00:45:46It's and that's also not really my style anyway, and so they're really excited and they said we want to come get eyes on him
00:45:53We're working out getting them here in person you guys have a lot to figure out a lot to talk about yes
00:45:59And what is it you do? So I'm a clean energy consultant. Okay, certainly a growing field. That's for sure
00:46:05Yeah, it's a lot of job security, which is great and it's important. It's definitely important for our environment
00:46:10She had our masters at John Hopkins. Oh, wow, that's impressive. Thank you
00:46:16We also both have a science tattoo. Yeah bunch of little
00:46:20Yeah, we're extremely compatible it was weird as I mean you guys knew I'd go in and like we had dinner night before I
00:46:25Was like I highly highly doubt I'm gonna meet anybody that I really connect with here. I really felt that way going in
00:46:30And Taylor was literally the only one that like I felt like my heart getting ripped out of my chest every time I went in
00:46:34There to talk to her and we kept using the word like magnetic
00:46:38I'd go in there and like
00:46:40Just something about it
00:46:41Like I just wanted to be in that room all the time with her and just felt like every
00:46:46Atom in my body just getting like pulled towards her through that wall
00:46:48Even if we met in the real world scare, it's really busy. What do you have had time to like?
00:46:54Yeah, you wouldn't have met any other ways and then sure if we had met then like I'd like to see you again
00:46:58Our schedules
00:47:00Wouldn't be free again for another month or more and it just doesn't really should you can't build a connection that way here
00:47:07You know, I'll see you tomorrow for a couple hours. You felt really really right? It's incredible. It's incredible. I want to leave her son
00:47:14I'm sure you guys have talked about it. But you know the hard stuff because marriage is compromised raising kids and the hard stuff
00:47:21And tell me about it
00:47:25Yeah, no, we've talked about raising kids we've talked about a lot of the stuff
00:47:28Yeah, really really did there hasn't been something we talked about it
00:47:31Like we're not in alignment on with a lot of the stuff especially raising kids. It's such a big
00:47:36Life decision to do it so fast. I
00:47:39Don't want him hurt and I'd hate to see you be hurt either
00:47:43I don't wanna see either one of you go through it. I definitely don't want to see him go through it. I adore my son. Yeah
00:47:50And and I know your parents love you and I oh
00:47:53I hate this
00:47:56And well and we will grow to love you too
00:48:00Just so fast
00:48:02Yeah, and this being the only time that we actually get to meet you and spend time with you before two weeks later
00:48:07It's like hey Rachel's wedding and it's just very you're having to make a lot more
00:48:12Decisions than what you should have to make
00:48:15In a short amount of time. Yeah, I feel like you have deadlines and you're trying to meet those dead
00:48:21And it's all out of complete love
00:48:28It is it is a lot in terms of like getting to know me and to trust me and to know me like as a
00:48:33person I
00:48:35Don't have any other
00:48:37answer than like I I love your son a lot and I see a beautiful wonderful future with him and I
00:48:44Can see that he's so wonderful because of the place that he came from and the people that matter the most
00:48:51It's because of the expedited timeline and the pressure put on things you kind of reason that
00:48:57Checking in and taking it day by day has gotten us to places that we never thought as individuals
00:49:02We would find each other. Mm-hmm. And so it's been actually like
00:49:06Making us both like a lot
00:49:08I think stronger in terms of like talking about like what are our concerns?
00:49:12like what are our fears like is is the common goal like ending up with each other at the end and making sure that like
00:49:18We're sure right and then everyone else in our lives is like trusting our judgment and that's kind of where we land in with it
00:49:24and
00:49:25also giving each other like the grace if
00:49:28We end up changing our hearts and minds about how to go about it and you know
00:49:33Garrett hates when I say this
00:49:34But I was like the best decision for you is gonna be the best decision for me and the best decision for us
00:49:40Make sense. Yeah, and so it's just respecting each other like
00:49:44Regardless of what what happens and like, you know fighting for each other but being patient with each other, right?
00:49:49I just want to thank you in advance if this goes where it needs to go
00:49:53I I hope to be a wonderful addition to your family. We do too. We all hear the love and the care. Oh, absolutely
00:50:01It's important
00:50:03Thank you for letting me into your home. It's a beautiful home and I Garrett makes
00:50:09Just as much sense as before but I I can see why he's so loving and kind and wonderful
00:50:23Oh

00:50:53Just love it. I was like cutting. I'm like, oh
00:50:56Did you like that?
00:51:02I love it. I like like it more than before
00:51:15Yeah, how has worked today for you it's been like hectic just kind of like catching up with it with you know
00:51:21Gone for three weeks. You go in. No, I
00:51:25Worked from home today. It must be nice
00:51:29Passed by like my apartment really quickly to grab some jackets and some ingredients
00:51:35You look pretty hot cooking
00:51:38Don't I look cute standing by the standing watching? Yeah, these need a little glass of wine
00:51:42You can like post up and watch me work. Oh
00:51:45Thank you
00:51:47Me the bathroom. Go ahead myself together here
00:51:52I
00:51:57What do you need help with you could just watch enjoy God cuz I take a breather again, how are you with like school stuff? I
00:52:07Know
00:52:09What is that face? I feel overwhelmed. I know you're like struggling with that whole commute like
00:52:16I
00:52:17Was like, you know
00:52:18Like I'm glad like I'm flexible and I'll be able to like just move up to Baltimore because you don't seem like you would
00:52:24Oh, no, I would never know. No. Yeah. Like if you were not willing to move, I don't think this would work
00:52:29Yeah, because I couldn't do the commute. That looks nice. That looks so good, babe. It also smells good
00:52:35I don't want to put a I'm gonna put these over
00:52:38on our table
00:52:41Oh sit down go sit down so we got our soy sauce
00:52:50Moment of truth
00:52:55Well, how's the noodles are quite hard babe, they are a la Dante to the max
00:53:01I'll who hello Dante. That's how to pronounce. Mm-hmm. Oh my god
00:53:10I
00:53:15Needed this because but this is a good it's a good enough work for life. Don't make me guys
00:53:22So wedding question, are we doing a
00:53:27Religious sufficient no religion spiritual
00:53:33What are we doing she needs to be a female, okay, I don't want a man marrying us no offense to
00:53:40Alright, amen. No, sis. Had a rose. Yeah, I will actually take I'll take anything else
00:53:46okay, and
00:53:51Spiritual I guess okay. God can take a backseat
00:53:57Mom would be like
00:54:00Yeah, my mom does feel a certain way
00:54:02She's still very
00:54:05Christian if we'd like go through the entire ceremony and like there isn't any sort of like Christian element
00:54:10She'd kind of be like
00:54:11Hmm, and even though the wedding is for us like it is also for our parents our mothers
00:54:15Do you feel like like we should ask her if anything?
00:54:18My mom would probably come see me like before I walk down the aisle and just like pray with me or something
00:54:22I think that probably would be enough for her
00:54:23I used to think I was gonna get married in temple in a Mormon 2016
00:54:28I'm warm temple at what point like what made you decide that like the religion was gonna be part of
00:54:34Your life. I don't hate religion. Like I guess it sounds like I hate religion
00:54:37But when God is white in a church and you're taught white beliefs when it comes to religion
00:54:44you start to believe a lot of those things and
00:54:48It's very much like men centric and like I don't know especially like the Mormon coming
00:54:52Yeah, I feel like coming from your context. I understand why I always tell people like
00:54:58some of the best
00:55:00People I've met throughout life have been and some of the nicest
00:55:04I've been like a Mormon people like people in the church
00:55:07like they're so nice and they're so giving and I think it helps me during a really good difficult time in life, but I
00:55:13Just don't want that to be like a part of a part of like us getting married
00:55:17Like I don't want anyone at the wedding to think that we're getting married under
00:55:21religious beliefs
00:55:23Yeah, I was in ministry. So I know what what churches look like behind the scenes
00:55:27I pretty much grew up in the church my entire life
00:55:29Yeah, like fire and brimstone like either you like believe this or you're going to hell or you know
00:55:34that type of thing but like
00:55:36Inherently in myself, like I've always just felt like something fell off about that. I probably do still believe
00:55:42I don't know like some version of a Christian God in some way. Maybe I don't know but like
00:55:48Let's say I die and like and there is a God I'm saying standing before him
00:55:52Like I don't think he's gonna judge me for like now having questions
00:55:56Or share they yeah, they're yeah, whoever yeah God whatever God is like, I don't think will question me
00:56:04For having legitimate questions. No, I think we have past lives. No. Yeah, I
00:56:11Don't have science behind that. Yeah, you watch past lives, by the way
00:56:14We do need to watch past lives, but we're gonna watch Barbie first. What Barbie babe? Don't put
00:56:20Lines on the same
00:56:23Legitimately, there's such a great message behind Barbie Barbie like made me realize I'm not accepting any man who's for the patriarchy
00:56:29It's a Barbie to make you make you realize
00:56:35Working my way up there. Yeah, leave the military behind nobody people do not realize the like
00:56:42Brainwashing that military does and like I've been in it my whole life
00:56:45I truly believed in the military and I was very patriotic and like
00:56:50I
00:56:55Can't look at the military and say like it completely sucks because it changed my life and provided me opportunities
00:57:01But someone says that like I'll have all these benefits now at the what at the benefit of what the demise of another country
00:57:07So you so you say you support the military? I don't support half the shit
00:57:11The military does what we do in other countries. I don't support. I mean I did when I was in military James Baldwin
00:57:16He talked about how like because he loves his country so much like he reserves the right to critique it
00:57:21Yeah, I always take the perspective of people like from the outside
00:57:25You're looking in like I wasn't born here
00:57:27Like I do live here now and like I understand that I'm privileged to live in this country
00:57:30but at the same time like I will always heavily critique how the u.s. Is sort of just
00:57:37destabilized entire countries like I support the military in a sense of like
00:57:42strategically
00:57:43We need our military at this point we'd be in a very hurt position and why wouldn't be it?
00:57:47Why would we be in such a hurt position as we put ourselves in this position where we bullied other countries, right?
00:57:52We've done we've gone into other countries. We've destroyed countries
00:57:56Societies communities. I do not ignore that. I am very critical of it
00:58:00It's just that I support the troops in the military
00:58:04Sailors the soldiers the Marines like I support the people the people
00:58:09Yeah, because they were just like me and what they sign up to do is not easy
00:58:14And so I said, but they sign up for it
00:58:16We do sign up for it. Yeah. Yeah, okay
00:58:20Yeah, it's so nuanced. It's a job some people
00:58:25They sacrifice like a lot
00:58:28Again but they're signing up for this baby. I know it's you talking about a sacrifice
00:58:32Like you have no control. They can run into a building, but you go, but you're signing up for it
00:58:37No one's no one's putting a gun to your head to say you don't run into this building
00:58:41Like it's yeah, but I will tell you I didn't understand the gravity of that
00:58:45I didn't sign up to go kill people even though I technically did join the military
00:58:50Yeah, I know like the guns and all of that's not there for no reason
00:58:53No, I know but like ends and like the whole call me naive that I don't know
00:58:57I just like when I was finally put in a position where I was like I push the button and a missile gets launched off
00:59:02to ship because that was like one of my positions I
00:59:05Struggle with that and said like if y'all tell me to push the button
00:59:08I don't think I could push the button to shoot a helicopter
00:59:11airplane down but I will tell you I didn't understand the gravity of that a lot of kids sign up at the age of like
00:59:1618 and like
00:59:18You know, they see atrocious things these service members go over there and their kids and they do
00:59:25like horrible things and they like it's just I
00:59:29Don't think we really really understand like what we're signing up for when we do it
00:59:35Okay
00:59:37What?
00:59:40I'm feeling judged. Are you I'm feeling judged like
00:59:44Do I even have a right to say?
00:59:47I mean like I'm anti military in the politics that they do and what we've done to other countries if I
00:59:53Willingly and voluntarily signed up to go do that exact thing. Am I a hypocrite like
00:59:59You're like my actions in the military and like what I've done I've deployed I don't want you to feel judged
01:00:05You have a great heart, babe. I don't question that
01:00:08It's okay, baby
01:00:10Comfy. Yeah, it's okay
01:00:13It's hard sometimes to like look yourself in the mirror
01:00:16Say you were sitting in front of me
01:00:18You were someone who has been deeply impacted like directly like you were like my house was bombed. I
01:00:24don't know if I would be brave enough to like sit in front of this person and be like
01:00:28But I still support the troops dude. I'm sorry your house got bombed
01:00:31I support troops and like that's a hard thing because that requires me to like realize like yeah while I was on the Navy ship
01:00:37Wow, I didn't push a button to shoot off a missile. I supported operations that did kill people. I
01:00:44Know you don't like my military service. I don't know if you would have wanted to be engaged to me two years ago
01:00:51Honestly, I probably
01:00:54Think in the pause. I didn't want that to be like you're like sort of defining thing
01:00:58I want to get to know you beyond that. It's been my entire life
01:01:01I grew up on bases since I was two and then I did in high school
01:01:06I didn't call it and I did for the last eight years. So it's like
01:01:10it is a huge part of my life and
01:01:13I am proud of my service. I
01:01:15Support the truth, babe. I just want you know, I support the truth
01:01:18I don't regret joining the military
01:01:23It's not something I want you to like
01:01:25Be ashamed of cuz that's okay. Yeah
01:01:29Like my service. Mm-hmm. It will I don't think I can handle like you being ashamed of my service. I
01:01:40Wouldn't like one anyone to feel shame about their past. Yeah, as long as it's in your past
01:01:45I
01:01:46Did try to do the reserves?
01:01:48And I could not be back in that environment. So I left but if I were like a reservist, you probably wouldn't be with me
01:01:57Yeah
01:02:02It probably wouldn't work out cuz we just stand we have like very it would be in very different places
01:02:08Yeah
01:02:18Yeah, that's where I stand
01:02:37I
01:02:39I
01:03:06Careful what you wish for
01:03:09You
01:03:39You
01:04:09You
01:04:39You
01:05:09You
