00:00What's up? I'm Wyatt, and my parents adopted me from a poor farm in Sri Lanka.
00:04And now, living a millionaire life because of my politician parents.
00:09Well, I'm not a fan of rich life, but shh, don't tell my parents I said that.
00:14I mean, I'm grateful for what they've given me, but rich people always boss people around for the craziest things.
00:20I asked for a gold-plated toilet seat, not this regular one. What? Are you stupid?
00:26Mom, who cares? It's just a toilet seat. No one's going to rate our bathroom on the luxury loo leaderboard.
00:33So I spent all my free time jamming on a guitar with my best buddy in the whole world, Kevin.
00:38Time for the next gig, you in?
00:41I met Kevin at a local band tryout, and we've been close ever since.
00:44We got in the band and started playing local charities. It felt so awesome to bring so many people joy.
00:50One day, we were playing at the local soup kitchen, and I heard a commotion.
00:53A bully was cornering one of the most beautiful girls I'd ever seen.
00:57I found twigs in your soup you made! I want my money back!
01:01It's free, and I saw you put those in there.
01:04I was about to step in when the girl poured soup all over the bully's head. Security came and threw her out.
01:10I ran outside to tell her how cool she was, but it was too late. She was gone.
01:15But when I got back to Kevin's, he had the biggest smirk on his face.
01:19Do you remember that cute girl who souped that bully?
01:22Duh. Well, her name's Gabby, and I asked her out. So she's kind of my girlfriend now.
01:27I felt like a giant rock had been stuck in my throat.
01:30But you guys, what was I supposed to do? There's a bro code.
01:34That's... awesome, Kev.
01:37But as they started dating, I started to see less and less of Kevin.
01:41And whenever we did hang out, all he would ever talk about was Gabby.
01:45You know, Gabby supports her entire family. She has, like, 17 jobs.
01:49Wow.
01:50And the next day, my parents had a huge surprise waiting for me.
01:54There was a pretty girl twirling in my kitchen. She batted her eyelashes in slow motion.
01:59Honestly, it was a little ridiculous.
02:02Hello. I'm Olivia.
02:05I'm Wyatt. And, uh, why are you here?
02:08Well, son, it's your 18th birthday, and your present is Olivia.
02:13She's gonna be your wife.
02:15My what?
02:16Did you really think we'd leave your matchmaking up to fate?
02:20But your mother and I were in an arranged marriage. Look how happy we are.
02:24I was definitely not convinced.
02:27Olivia's living with us until the wedding. You'll have plenty of time to get to know her.
02:32I tried it first for my parents' sake, but everything about Olivia rubbed me the wrong way.
02:38Every time she opened her mouth, I felt like some brain cells had died.
02:42One time, we went on her family's yacht for a week and sailed past the farm where I was born.
02:47Ew. I could never be that poor. How sad and pathetic.
02:52That really made me want to throw her overboard.
02:56Wyatt, remember, you're a gentleman.
03:00I needed out of this. A life with Olivia would be a life tied to the very type of person I hated most.
03:08So, I decided to run away.
03:10As I was climbing out of my window, Kevin pulled up to my house.
03:13How could I forget we were supposed to practice together?
03:16Bro, what are you doing?
03:18My parents want me to marry this total snozzberry. I'm running away.
03:23What? Wyatt, you can't give your life up.
03:26I don't have any other choice. I couldn't bring myself to say no to my parents or break their hearts.
03:33So, it's either run away or marry her.
03:37Besides, it's not like I have any other romantic leads.
03:40But then Kevin looked at me with this sparkle in his eye.
03:43What if you hired a fake fiancé and told your parents you're already getting married?
03:48I burst out laughing.
03:50Yeah, right. Would anyone actually be interested? I mean, it's a little pathetic.
03:56Gabby could do it.
03:58You mean your girlfriend?
04:00Yeah, she's desperate for money. Let me ask.
04:03And then he started texting her.
04:06Wait, Kevin, isn't that weird? She's your girlfriend.
04:11She said she's in. And who cares, dude? It's just pretending.
04:14Besides, I trust you more than anyone.
04:17I mean, it's not like I really had any other options.
04:21Luckily, my parents went on a business trip, so at least that bought me some time.
04:26The next day, I met up with Gabby and got up to pull her chair out.
04:29But she kicked it back in.
04:31One thing's straight. This is just a job.
04:33Geez, I was just trying to be polite.
04:36I love Kevin.
04:37So do I. But don't you feel weird that he's passing you off to me like you're some loner car?
04:43I would advise you to shut your face hole before I shut it for you.
04:47Well, you better get an attitude transplant if you're going to be a convincing fiancé.
04:51Otherwise, this won't work.
04:53She looked at me with this mischievous smirk.
04:56You don't have to question my believability. Trust me.
04:59The next day, I invited Gabby to my school's potluck.
05:02I went to the bathroom for two seconds, and when I came back,
05:05I saw Gabby had entered the green chili eating contest.
05:09As Gabby shoveled chilies down her throat, she glared at me with cold hatred.
05:14And then, to my shock, she told everyone,
05:17My fiancé holds the green chili eating world record.
05:20Before I knew it, tears were streaming from our eyes as we ate chili after chili.
05:27Remind me to bathe in milk later.
05:30After Gabby won, I dragged her away from everyone.
05:33What are you doing?
05:35Just having some fun with my fiancé.
05:37I'm going to be in the bathroom for a week straight now because of you.
05:41But if that's what you want, I'll give it to you and eat until you're happy.
05:45No, stop.
05:47Suddenly, Olivia appeared out of nowhere.
05:50Wow, Wyatt, that is pretty impressive.
05:53My parents love spicy food.
05:56They're going to be so happy when they find out you can handle it.
05:59And then she kissed me on the cheek and ran off.
06:03I wanted to flip a table.
06:05What was that about?
06:07You need to start playing by my rules, Gabby, or you can kiss your money goodbye.
06:13I do one thing you don't like and this is how you act?
06:16You're exactly who I thought you were.
06:18You're a rich, arrogant jerk.
06:21I walked outside to blow off steam, literally.
06:24But I realized I got why she thought I was that way.
06:28I mean, rich people, they're the worst.
06:31I had to show her that I wasn't like that.
06:34I went back inside, but Gabby was nowhere to be found.
06:37I started to get worried, so I called Kevin.
06:39Did you seriously lose my girlfriend, dude?
06:42I'm on my way.
06:44Then I heard someone crying in the girls' bathroom.
06:47I took a chance.
06:49Gabby? It's Wyatt.
06:52I just, uh, I wanted to apologize.
06:56She unlocked the door, but when she opened it,
06:58I was shocked to see Gabby was covered in Jell-O.
07:01What happened?
07:03That girl who kissed you on the cheek threw a whole Jell-O cake in my face.
07:07Olivia.
07:08So maybe she was starting to get the message.
07:11I was almost a little excited when...
07:13I look like a sea monster.
07:15Here, let me help.
07:17I washed Gabby's hair in the sink and gave her my sweatshirt
07:20so she'd have clean clothes.
07:22Why are you being so nice to me?
07:24Because this is all my fault.
07:26Olivia attacked you because of me.
07:29And then I told her everything
07:31about the arranged marriage and Olivia.
07:34I'm sorry, Gabby.
07:36For all of this, this was stupid.
07:39No, it's not.
07:41I was wrong about you.
07:42Just give me one more chance.
07:44I'll be the perfect fake fiancé.
07:46And then she hugged me so tight
07:48that my heart started beating fast.
07:51But just then, the door swung open and...
07:53What do you think you're doing?
07:55Kevin, it's not what it looks like.
07:57Wait in the car, Gabby.
07:59Kevin.
08:00Now.
08:01I didn't like the way he was talking to her.
08:03He was acting so... controlling.
08:06Kevin came for me, his nostrils literally flaring.
08:09What gives, man?
08:10She's still my girlfriend.
08:12Whoa, dude, relax.
08:14Kevin, this was your idea.
08:16Gabby and I are just...
08:17Stop, man.
08:18I see the way you look at her.
08:20What?
08:21No.
08:22The bro code.
08:23I would never...
08:24Whatever.
08:25Just finish this up ASAP.
08:27I can't believe
08:28he was really gonna let a girl get between us
08:30after all we'd been through.
08:32The next day, I woke up
08:33and was surprised to see Gabby
08:35sitting at the edge of my bed.
08:37I have a surprise for you.
08:39Then she put a blindfold around me
08:40and put me in the driver's seat.
08:42I had no idea what was going on,
08:44but I've always been a sucker for surprises.
08:46And the next thing I knew,
08:47we were in the mountains.
08:49We climbed the whole thing,
08:51but what shocked me
08:52is that the longer we hiked,
08:53the more I actually started to love it.
08:56For the first time,
08:57I could drop everything
08:59and I could just be...
09:01me.
09:03We took a picture together at the top
09:05and Gabby put her arms around me.
09:07I blushed so hard.
09:09Uh-oh.
09:10Maybe Kevin was right.
09:12Maybe I was starting to catch feelings for Gabby.
09:15And it was magical.
09:18Doesn't this feel like a scene from a movie, Wyatt?
09:21Yeah, these paths are just like
09:22finding a YouTube channel unexpectedly.
09:25And you're just pulled to hit subscribe and like.
09:27You never know what stories you'll get next,
09:29but it's sure to make your day.
09:31So you're saying that our lives
09:33are a YouTube channel now?
09:35Maybe.
09:36Because if it were,
09:37then people would subscribe
09:38to see if we soar or crash.
09:40You heard it.
09:41Want to know what's next?
09:42So hit like and subscribe.
09:44And when I got home that night,
09:46Olivia was waiting for me.
09:48You better be free tomorrow night.
09:50Hello to you too.
09:52My parents are coming for dinner to meet you.
09:54Our wedding's happening, Wyatt.
09:56Can you believe it?
09:58I called Gabby immediately.
10:00Why don't I just come to the dinner
10:01and they can see for themselves that you're taken?
10:04Gosh, women are smart.
10:05If anything had a shot,
10:07it was that.
10:08The next day, Gabby arrived at my house.
10:10She looked incredible.
10:13You look beautiful.
10:15Thanks.
10:17Too bad tonight's our last night doing this.
10:19It's actually been fun.
10:22But before I could confess my true feelings,
10:24Kevin stepped out from behind her.
10:27I thought you might need a little chaperoning
10:30to make sure you don't fail miserably, Wyatt.
10:32Thanks for the vote of confidence.
10:34When we got inside,
10:36Olivia and her parents were already there.
10:38It was now or never.
10:40I said for you to come.
10:42Olivia, this is my best man, Kevin.
10:44This is Gabby, my fiancé.
10:48I wished I could bottle the look of disgust
10:51on Olivia's face for the rest of eternity.
10:54I was waiting for her to explode,
10:56but she simply said...
10:58Okay, then.
10:59Prove it.
11:00Kiss her.
11:01What?
11:02If she's really your fiancé,
11:04it shouldn't be hard.
11:06I looked at Kevin, who was fuming.
11:08But I had no other choice.
11:10Gabby gave me a nod of approval.
11:13I leaned in and kissed her.
11:15And the world seemed to stop.
11:19Crash!
11:20We broke the kiss and swirled around
11:22to see that Kevin had just smashed a vase
11:24and stormed off.
11:26Kevin, wait!
11:27What happened to the bro code?
11:29What was I supposed to do?
11:31You're the one who told me to do this!
11:33I never said to kiss her!
11:35Gabby is my girlfriend!
11:37You crossed a line!
11:39Uh-huh!
11:40I knew you were lying.
11:42Kevin and I both turned to see that Olivia,
11:44her parents, and Gabby had followed us
11:46and overheard everything.
11:48Nice try, Wyatt.
11:50But I knew you'd never date lowlife trash like Gabby.
11:54You're marrying me whether you like it or not.
11:57Can you really blame him for wanting to leave?
12:00You've got the ugliest personality ever!
12:03This was getting out of hand.
12:05They were literally pulling each other's hair.
12:07So I stepped in the middle of them.
12:09Girls!
12:10Gabby, stop!
12:12And she felt bad the way I screamed,
12:14so she dashed away.
12:16Things couldn't end like this between us, though.
12:19Her family was struggling,
12:20and I had to do what was right.
12:22So I followed her.
12:24Gabby, wait!
12:26Take this.
12:27Give her a check for three million dollars.
12:30Wyatt, you shouldn't have to do this.
12:32Any of this.
12:34Just be honest with your parents about Olivia.
12:36Maybe they'll understand.
12:38She was right,
12:39but I was still afraid of disappointing my folks.
12:43Just take the money.
12:45Now you can take care of your family.
12:47What?
12:48But she just stared at me blankly.
12:51That's why you took the job.
12:53No.
12:55I took the job for Kevin.
12:57I agreed to do it and give the money to his sick mom.
13:00What?
13:01But Kevin's mom isn't sick.
13:03Last week, she ran the marathon.
13:05Just then, we saw Kevin with Olivia, of all people,
13:08showing her my cars like they were his own.
13:11He even had his arm around her.
13:13Kevin, you lied to us?
13:15All this time, you wanted my money for yourself.
13:19Kevin turned around with an evil look in his eyes.
13:22You don't even do anything with it.
13:24I deserve to have a little.
13:26Come on, Gabby. Let's go.
13:28I'm not going anywhere with you.
13:30You lied to me, too.
13:32We're over.
13:33Are you happy now, Wyatt?
13:35You've ruined my life.
13:37Don't be so dramatic, Kevin.
13:39Consider our friendship over.
13:42And then he got in his car,
13:44actually, my car,
13:45and rode off.
13:47I didn't even care.
13:48He was never a true friend to begin with
13:50if he was only after my money.
13:52Gabby called a cab,
13:53but there was really nothing to say except,
13:56I'm sorry for how this all turned out.
14:00Me too.
14:01I wanted to kiss her so badly,
14:04but before I even got the chance,
14:06Olivia had a tentacle around me.
14:09I guess that was that.
14:12My parents came back,
14:13and I went along with wedding planning,
14:15but I felt like a total ghost.
14:18I droned out Olivia's nonstop talking
14:20with thoughts of Gabby.
14:22I should have told her how I felt.
14:24I even texted her on the day of the wedding,
14:26telling her that it was happening,
14:28maybe in hopes she'd want to pull
14:30a big romantic gesture.
14:33But when the time came
14:34and Olivia was walking down the aisle,
14:36Gabby was nowhere to be found.
14:39The priest started officiating
14:41when I heard a familiar voice call out,
14:44Stop the wedding!
14:46Everyone turned and gasped.
14:48To my shock, it was Kevin.
14:51Kevin, what are you doing here?
14:53Olivia, I love you.
14:55Let's run away from here.
14:57You want me to confess it
14:58in front of the whole world?
14:59So here I am.
15:01Um, what?
15:03But then Olivia ran over to Kevin
15:05and started kissing him.
15:07I guess there was a lot more
15:08to that casual arm around her
15:10that night at dinner.
15:11The wedding's off!
15:13As they ran away together,
15:14I couldn't help but laugh.
15:16And then I was in
15:17for the shock of the century
15:19when my parents came up to me.
15:21Son, I'm sorry we forced this upon you.
15:25We never should have.
15:26We were wrong.
15:27Olivia is clearly not good enough for you.
15:30We made a mistake with her
15:31and just want you to be happy.
15:34From now on, we've agreed.
15:36You choose who you love.
15:39And they hugged me tightly
15:41and went to the guests.
15:43What just happened?
15:45It looks like someone
15:46just got there happily ever after.
15:48I turned around, shocked,
15:50to see the priest
15:51removed his beard and hat.
15:53It was Gabby!
15:54You seriously thought
15:55I'd miss watching this train wreck?
15:57Gabby!
15:58I'm so sorry.
16:00Look, I know this sounds crazy,
16:02but although we were just pretending,
16:05I actually fell in love with you.
16:09I know, silly.
16:10Why else do you think I'm here?
16:12I feel the same way.
16:14How did I have no idea that was you?
16:16I told you not to doubt my believability.
16:19I laughed and grabbed her in my arms.
16:22What do you say?
16:23Should we make this a happy ending?
16:26I thought you'd never ask.
