Transcript
00:00:00Demi, do you take Ollie to be your husband, to love him, comfort him, honour and protect
00:00:15him and forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?
00:00:30I love you. But I do not.
00:00:51Why?
00:00:52Because I've learned to love myself in a whole different light during this journey
00:01:10and actually that's testament to you Ollie. And I know you do love me and I know you care
00:01:15about me and I know you appreciate me but I know what I want from a husband and I don't
00:01:21think we're quite there obviously. But it's not a I do not, I'm going to walk away from
00:01:27you forever, it's a I do not for now because honestly the time we've spent I feel like
00:01:33you've seen me. And I love you for that. I love you.
00:01:51I'm sorry. I said no to marrying Ollie today and it did break my heart.
00:02:13Yeah, it's a weird one. I don't think anyone can really look down on somebody for not being
00:02:38100% certain they want to marry someone they've only known for a matter of weeks. But look
00:02:41at what you have, look at the amazing relationship you have, look at the amazing chemistry you
00:02:44have, look at the banter you have, look at the physical attraction you have for one another.
00:02:47Why would you not want to get married at this stage?
00:02:50I hope I can speak for both of us when I say we're both so grateful for all of you being
00:02:54here. We are still celebrating our love and our friendship so we're so glad to have all
00:02:57of you here with us. The journey hasn't changed, it's a slight diversion.
00:03:03It's not the outcome that would have been traditionally the desired outcome of course
00:03:08but everything that we've had up until now has been nothing short of incredible and you
00:03:13know, it's not a race. We'll get there at our own pace.
00:03:16So, you alright?
00:03:17Yeah, good.
00:03:18You sure?
00:03:19Yeah, I'm good.
00:03:20Yeah?
00:03:21You alright?
00:03:22Yeah, I'm good. Long job, man.
00:03:23Yeah.
00:03:24Give me a kiss.
00:03:25I got you, yeah?
00:03:26Yeah, I got you too.
00:03:27Ollie knows I love him and I feel like he'll understand my reasoning because that's the
00:03:30man he is. He's very understanding, he's an empath and you know, it's not the end of our
00:03:35journey. I do love him.
00:03:37How are you feeling, honestly bro?
00:03:40Honestly?
00:03:41Yeah.
00:03:42Sad but happy?
00:03:43Yeah.
00:03:44Yeah, I can tell on your face.
00:03:45What I wouldn't have wanted, right, is for us to get married and if for whatever reason
00:03:53it doesn't work out and then we have a horrible divorce and then we can't remain friends or
00:03:58we can't repair it. Where this chapter's closed but the story's not over, that's the only
00:04:03way I can summarise it. It's been a tough day and it is sad and I am emotional and it
00:04:07has been one hell of a journey but I found true love with someone so I'm happy and in
00:04:11doing that I've learned a lot about myself and become a better person and I owe so much
00:04:15of that to Demi, I couldn't have done that without her so I can't be anything but happy,
00:04:19thankful, grateful and excited for what's next to come. This is not the end of Demi
00:04:22and Ollie, not by a long shot.
00:04:26It's a surreal moment because there is sadness but there's so much positive to take from
00:04:33today as well. I'm just looking at this whole experiment in such a positive light and I'm
00:04:39just grateful.
00:04:44That's it, that's all I can say.
00:05:03Today's my wedding day, the biggest day of my life.
00:05:21I'm certain on our connection, I'm certain on our love but marriage is the biggest commitment
00:05:26you can make to somebody. Jasmine is so kind but at the same time she's not afraid to stand
00:05:32by her values, she's not afraid to put me in her place if she needs to. For me, she's
00:05:37the perfect girl in the world.
00:05:43The nerves are definitely creeping in, this is the biggest day of my life. I didn't think
00:05:47I'd be fortunate enough to be in this position. The reason why I love Bobby is he's got that
00:05:53quiet confidence about him. He does have a sensitive side, he's got a vulnerable side
00:05:58but he's not scared to show that.
00:06:01I ideally would want to raise children in a household where our foundation is on a hundred.
00:06:07Yeah, for sure. Because at the end of the day, they're going to learn our dynamics.
00:06:11Mine and yours, you mean?
00:06:13Yeah!
00:06:15I've been really looking to find that person that I want to spend the rest of my life with.
00:06:19Wow, you are spot on.
00:06:21So I'm just over the moon that I met Jasmine.
00:06:23This moment right now is by far the best moment of my life.
00:06:28I can definitely see myself being with you forever.
00:06:31Bobby really reassures me. He makes me feel safe.
00:06:34My relationships in the past have always felt anxious.
00:06:36It sounds like you've been with some of the wrong ones.
00:06:39You're not in that position anymore.
00:06:41This is one of the only relationships that I've been in where I feel like he does truly love me.
00:06:47And he's, you know, just backing me 100%.
00:06:51I know exactly how I feel.
00:06:53I am so ready to get married.
00:06:55And I guess at this point, I'm just hoping that Jasmine feels the same way.
00:07:02What's up, bro? How's it going?
00:07:04What's up, man?
00:07:06Good to see you.
00:07:08Looking good, man.
00:07:10Good to see you, boys.
00:07:12Welcome to my home for the day.
00:07:14Nice place.
00:07:16You boys are looking a little bit more nervous than me.
00:07:19It's a massive day for all of us.
00:07:21And our loved ones in the past that have passed away,
00:07:24I'm sure they'll be happy as we are.
00:07:26Danny and Kim, obviously, they will be here in spirit.
00:07:29Yeah.
00:07:31So I've got my beads of memory.
00:07:33I'm glad you got yours. I know you got yours.
00:07:35And even though they can't be here in person,
00:07:37I know they're going to be here in spirit.
00:07:39Yeah.
00:07:41I wouldn't have it any other way.
00:07:43I am quite sentimental.
00:07:45My cousin Danny and Kim, two people that played a very important role
00:07:49in my life, especially Danny growing up.
00:07:51He's been like a brother to me since I was a kid.
00:07:53Taught me so much.
00:07:55The fact that he can't be here
00:07:57is heartbreaking for everybody here.
00:07:59Danny always used to say,
00:08:01everything happens for a reason, you know?
00:08:03Yeah, man.
00:08:05I do believe everything happens for a reason.
00:08:07I do believe I'm being guided now.
00:08:12Hello.
00:08:14Hello.
00:08:16You guys look amazing.
00:08:18How are you?
00:08:20I'm fine, girl.
00:08:22How are you, girl?
00:08:24Ready for the big day, Gem?
00:08:26No, I felt calm, and now you guys have come in here,
00:08:28I feel a bit...
00:08:30It's getting real.
00:08:32It's getting very real.
00:08:34Have you got the, like, pre-wedding jitters?
00:08:36Because I know you were quite stressed yesterday.
00:08:38The conversation with my mum definitely threw a spanner in the works.
00:08:40Yeah.
00:08:42She has, you know, kind of planted her seeds of doubt.
00:08:44Having a conversation with my mum yesterday
00:08:46really hurt me.
00:08:48I'm feeling very overwhelmed.
00:08:50I've been crying, like, non-stop.
00:08:52I thought my mum was kind of past
00:08:54her scepticism
00:08:56in regards to Bobby.
00:08:58I guess that's not really the case.
00:09:00Of course she's got her concerns.
00:09:02Yeah.
00:09:04But I had hoped mum would be like,
00:09:06oh, he's amazing for you, you know, you're great together.
00:09:08Obviously now I know deep inside,
00:09:10like, she's not feeling that.
00:09:12She thinks I like Bobby more than he likes me.
00:09:15And then she has concerns
00:09:17in regards to his job at the moment.
00:09:19She thinks that he can't provide for his family.
00:09:21And she's my mum.
00:09:23So of course I'm going to take
00:09:25what she says into consideration.
00:09:27As someone who's done nothing but follow her lead,
00:09:29whatever she's wanted, I've done.
00:09:31I feel overwhelmed.
00:09:33Ultimately it's my decision.
00:09:35So I just need to, I guess,
00:09:37take control of my emotions
00:09:39and not let that affect me.
00:09:41But, you know, it's easier said than done.
00:09:43I had a lot of doubts.
00:09:49Hello.
00:09:51Wow, look at you.
00:09:53Amazing.
00:09:55Good to see you.
00:09:57How you doing?
00:09:59Oh, now you look stunning.
00:10:01Make yourself at home.
00:10:03Oh, I have, yeah, I need to do it up.
00:10:05Wrong button, wrong button.
00:10:07What would I do without you here?
00:10:09How are you feeling?
00:10:11A little bit excited and a little bit nervous.
00:10:13Yeah.
00:10:15Walking down the aisle, but the happy nerves.
00:10:17So far so good.
00:10:19One thing that I did realise,
00:10:21especially me going through this whole experiment,
00:10:23I thought I understood myself very well.
00:10:25But I realised a lot about myself,
00:10:27especially emotionally.
00:10:29And one thing I am really thankful for is you
00:10:31and just everything you've done for me.
00:10:35I know it hasn't always been easy.
00:10:37You know, we've gone through a lot of
00:10:39stress.
00:10:41A fair share of difficulties and hardships.
00:10:43But I just really want to thank you
00:10:45from the bottom of my heart,
00:10:47because I feel like the man that I am today,
00:10:49really, I have you and I have Nan to thank for that.
00:10:53Don't make me cry, because, you know...
00:10:55Don't you make up my mind.
00:10:57Don't know if mascara is waterproof or not.
00:10:59Be happy, that's the main thing.
00:11:01That's all we ever want, is for you to be happy.
00:11:03You've done us proud,
00:11:05all of us.
00:11:09I love you both from the bottom of my heart,
00:11:11and I just appreciate you both.
00:11:13I'm really close to my mum.
00:11:15I have been since I was a little kid.
00:11:17I owe her a lot.
00:11:19She is the most important person in my life.
00:11:21I just feel really fortunate, really blessed,
00:11:23the way that you've welcomed Jasmine
00:11:25into the family, you know.
00:11:27I can't wait for her to be my daughter-in-law.
00:11:29Hopefully now she says yes.
00:11:31I'm sure she will.
00:11:33She'd be mad not to, wouldn't she?
00:11:35Hopefully.
00:11:49Oh, my God!
00:11:51Oh, my God!
00:11:53What do you think?
00:11:55Yes, love it. It's so you.
00:11:57It's nice, no?
00:11:59Yes.
00:12:01I feel good.
00:12:03Oh, my God!
00:12:05You look beautiful.
00:12:07Mother of a bride.
00:12:11You look great.
00:12:13You look so good.
00:12:15I don't want you to overdo me.
00:12:17Are you ready?
00:12:21Bless you.
00:12:23Don't cry.
00:12:27It's overwhelming.
00:12:29It's an overwhelming situation.
00:12:33It's overwhelming.
00:12:43This is the biggest moment of my life.
00:12:45I can't wait to finally read through my vows
00:12:47and let her know what she means to me.
00:12:49And, of course, I can't wait to make her my wife.
00:12:51Six months ago,
00:12:53even six weeks ago,
00:12:55I could have never imagined that this day would come.
00:12:57The thought of seeing Jasmine
00:12:59walking down the aisle in her dress,
00:13:01ready to make herself my wife,
00:13:03that gives me goosebumps.
00:13:07Falling in love with Bobby has made me realise
00:13:09I wasn't in love before.
00:13:11Nothing even compares
00:13:13to the amount of love
00:13:15that I have for him.
00:13:17My mum speaking to me
00:13:19and addressing her concerns,
00:13:21they have put doubts in my head 100%.
00:13:23This is the biggest decision
00:13:25of my life.
00:13:27I'm very certain in terms of what I want
00:13:29and how I feel.
00:13:31So, for me,
00:13:33this is exactly what I want.
00:13:35Jasmine is the woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with.
00:13:37There's nobody or nothing
00:13:39that could get in the way of that.
00:13:47I'm nervous.
00:13:49Of course.
00:13:57Good luck.
00:14:03Happy, happy, happy.
00:14:05Yeah, I'm very happy for you.
00:14:13May God bless you.
00:14:21It is now time to invite Jasmine
00:14:23to come and join us.
00:14:25Please stand.
00:14:55You're gorgeous.
00:15:07You look stunning.
00:15:09So good to see you.
00:15:11I'm shaking.
00:15:13You'll be good. Don't worry.
00:15:15You've got this.
00:15:19Please be seated.
00:15:23Today is a celebration
00:15:25of love, of commitment,
00:15:27of friendship and of family.
00:15:29Bobby and Jasmine,
00:15:31your wedding day
00:15:33is just one day in time.
00:15:35Yet, the promises you make
00:15:37to each other today will last
00:15:39a lifetime.
00:15:41Bobby and Jasmine would now like
00:15:43to say some words that they have written
00:15:45for each other.
00:15:47People say that love
00:15:49takes work, but loving you
00:15:51is the easiest thing that I've ever done.
00:15:53I fell in love with your soul
00:15:55and I knew that I wanted
00:15:57to make you my wife
00:15:59because you're everything I've ever searched for
00:16:01in a woman. You're not afraid to speak
00:16:03your mind and stand by your values,
00:16:05but as fiery and as outspoken as you are,
00:16:07and you can be,
00:16:09you have the kindest, most gentle heart
00:16:11that I've ever come across.
00:16:13And I do believe in fate and I'm certain
00:16:15that destiny has brought the two
00:16:17of us together.
00:16:19I promise to treat you like the queen that you are,
00:16:21I promise to love you, to protect
00:16:23you, and to stand in the storm
00:16:25and shelter you from any harm that ever comes your way.
00:16:27You deserve nothing short of extraordinary
00:16:29and I'm committed to spending the rest of my
00:16:31life trying to make you the happiest woman
00:16:33in the world.
00:16:35You understand me, you accept me for who I am
00:16:37and we just have that special kind of love,
00:16:39the kind of love that only comes around once
00:16:41in a lifetime.
00:16:45♪
00:16:47♪
00:16:49♪
00:16:51♪
00:16:53Jasmine, you're up next.
00:16:55♪
00:16:57♪
00:16:59Bobby,
00:17:01I've always wanted to be married but deep down
00:17:03I almost convinced myself
00:17:05that it might not be for me.
00:17:07♪
00:17:09♪
00:17:11I look back at our time in the pods and one
00:17:13thing I take from each conversation with you
00:17:15is a feeling of contentment and safety.
00:17:17♪
00:17:19I always thought
00:17:21I would never be the one to deserve a love like this
00:17:23but you came into my life and made me
00:17:25believe that there is someone who can love me for who I
00:17:27truly am.
00:17:29Your ability to be vulnerable
00:17:31in the way we communicate with one another
00:17:33openly without getting into heated
00:17:35debates has
00:17:37proved me that love shouldn't be
00:17:39combative.
00:17:41You said that your love should be kind
00:17:43and that's what I realized
00:17:45with you.
00:17:47♪
00:17:49♪
00:17:51Your commitment to self-growth
00:17:53and prioritizing us in terms of growing together
00:17:55as a unit
00:17:57has honestly made me fall deeper in love.
00:17:59I thank you for being the most
00:18:01amazing man I have ever met.
00:18:03♪
00:18:05Bobby and
00:18:07Jasmine, the two of you
00:18:09chose to get engaged and spend

00:18:17love with each other based
00:18:19on who you are on the inside
00:18:21and decided to get married

00:18:25Now it's time to decide

00:20:49Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.
00:20:51I respect my mom.
00:20:53I respect her opinion
00:20:55as much as I love her.
00:20:57Ultimately, it's my decision to make,
00:20:59and I'm really happy.
00:21:01I'm gonna take the best care
00:21:03of your daughter, I promise.
00:21:05I love you.
00:21:07I love you, too. Thank you.
00:21:09There were worries,
00:21:11but they look so happy together.
00:21:13My God.
00:21:15I can't stop crying.
00:21:17This has been
00:21:19the best day of our lives
00:21:21by far. To have all of our family,
00:21:23all of our friends here to witness it
00:21:25is incredible.
00:21:27So I appreciate all of you, honestly.
00:21:29Whoo!
00:21:31♪
00:21:33She finally found
00:21:35the love of her life.
00:21:37And I really
00:21:39wish them
00:21:41a marriage that would last forever.
00:21:43♪
00:21:45♪
00:21:51Yeah, wifey for life,
00:21:53is it? Yeah.
00:21:55I'll be happy for the next ten years.
00:21:57And if I'm not... What are we gonna do after this?
00:21:59No, because after menopause and stuff like that,
00:22:01you know, it gets a bit tricky, so, yeah.
00:22:03So you need to support me with that.
00:22:05For the next ten years, we're good.
00:22:07Okay, I can take that.
00:22:09♪
00:22:11♪
00:22:19It's my wedding day,
00:22:21and I am feeling
00:22:23like...
00:22:25I'm still confused.
00:22:27♪
00:22:29I will be there
00:22:31for you.
00:22:33I'm in two minds about today.
00:22:35My heart 2,000% says yes.
00:22:37My head keeps saying
00:22:39there's still so much you
00:22:41haven't worked through together.
00:22:43Oh, wow.
00:22:45This is beautiful.
00:22:47I love the venue,
00:22:49but these are all frills,
00:22:51you know? The reality is,
00:22:53it is marriage, you know? This is marriage,
00:22:55and I know that it's a big decision.
00:22:57♪
00:22:59I swear to you that I will be around.
00:23:01Let me in,
00:23:03and I won't let you down.
00:23:05Big day today.
00:23:07I'm feeling different waves
00:23:09and emotions. I'm gonna be riding those waves,
00:23:11I think, until the moment I see Nick,
00:23:13where it just kind of all settles.
00:23:15That's the effect that she has on me.
00:23:17These are nice.
00:23:19I remember day one in the pods,
00:23:21and Nicole stood out,
00:23:23head and shoulders with anybody else.
00:23:25My name's Nicole. What's yours?
00:23:27Nice. My name is Benaiah.
00:23:29Ooh, very interesting name. Are you Hawaiian?
00:23:31No, but I can be.
00:23:33What?
00:23:35I remember feeling like,
00:23:37okay, this person's special.
00:23:39Let's see where it goes.
00:23:41I'm someone who's quite conscious of,
00:23:43like, mind, body, and spirit.
00:23:45That is something that I think about
00:23:47a hell of a lot. When I first spoke to Ben,
00:23:49energy was like, yeah,
00:23:51this is a good person I'd want to be around.
00:23:53But then I didn't recognize it as
00:23:55this is the one
00:23:57because of what I thought love
00:23:59was meant to feel like. Do you feel
00:24:01like you could see potentially
00:24:03proposing to anyone?
00:24:05Difficult for me to give these assurances.
00:24:07I'm not at that stage. Maybe I just wasn't
00:24:09ready to receive what he was giving,
00:24:11which was that honesty. I think you deserve
00:24:13someone special in your life, and I just
00:24:15hope, I'm hoping I'm that person.
00:24:17Hence, I took a route
00:24:19not in line with what I knew was
00:24:21true. I'm so sorry.
00:24:23Sam, like, actually has, like,
00:24:25my heart.
00:24:27I think what Sam
00:24:29represented was
00:24:31a need for validation. Nicole,
00:24:33will you marry me? Yes.
00:24:35Yes. And Sam gave me
00:24:37that validation. But it wasn't true.
00:24:39It wasn't real. I made a
00:24:41mistake. There's no one else I'd want
00:24:43to spend my life with than Benaiah.
00:24:45I've lost you once.
00:24:47I don't want to lose you again. I need to stand up.
00:24:49I'm glad I fought for my love
00:24:51with Nicole. If it is
00:24:53true love, it's worth fighting for.
00:24:55Nicole,
00:24:57will you marry me?
00:24:59Yes.
00:25:01The way it's all played out has been this
00:25:03rollercoaster and not the
00:25:05route we would have wanted, but it was the right
00:25:07route, and the challenges have made us stronger.
00:25:09And
00:25:11the relationships blossomed, and
00:25:13it's now at this crescendo
00:25:15where I hope it
00:25:17can finally bloom into that beautiful
00:25:19flower.
00:25:21Oh.
00:25:23This is gonna set me off.
00:25:25My mum and sister can't be here today,
00:25:27which is a real shame, but my grandad
00:25:29is very ill in Germany at the minute, and
00:25:31they need to be with him.
00:25:33Seeing that letter kind of blindsided me,
00:25:35got me more emotional than I thought.
00:25:37They've met Nicole, and they gave their blessing,
00:25:39and it's great to have their support.
00:25:41It's little things like that that just makes me realise
00:25:43that in my heart, yes, it's the right thing.
00:25:45It's the right thing.
00:25:47It's the right thing.
00:25:49Yes, it's the right thing.
00:25:57Baby!
00:25:59Hello!
00:26:01Oh, my girl!
00:26:03Hello, lovely.
00:26:05How are you?
00:26:07You look so happy, Nicole.
00:26:09Yeah, you do!
00:26:11Is it a yes, then?
00:26:13No, no.
00:26:15No, you know what it's like?
00:26:17My heart wants it to be a yes,
00:26:19but have we been through enough
00:26:21for us to know that we can stand
00:26:23the test of time?
00:26:27After my divorce, it means a lot for me
00:26:29to find love, and I'm glad
00:26:31that I've found it, but I know that
00:26:33there's a risk. You know, we don't know
00:26:35what the future brings, and we may not
00:26:37like that future, you know?
00:26:39He said that in this circumstance,
00:26:41because it's so unique,
00:26:43the risk of the D word is higher.
00:26:45And when he said that,
00:26:47that freaked me out. It was a trigger.
00:26:49Why aren't you even talking about the D word at all?
00:26:51It triggered me, because I've realised that
00:26:53actually the divorce led me to have
00:26:55maybe some level of abandonment concerns.
00:26:57Yes, we know that
00:26:59divorce, these things happen, but I
00:27:01don't want us to even be thinking
00:27:03about that. I want us to know that we want
00:27:05to get through anything.
00:27:07Another concern is that he's had this
00:27:09nomadic lifestyle. What if one day
00:27:11he's just like, you know what,
00:27:13it's that life, you know?
00:27:15Yeah, I mean, it's tough, to be honest.
00:27:17There's certain answers you're not going to have
00:27:19until you're actually there.
00:27:21Yeah, so I don't know what we're doing.
00:27:23Honestly, I don't know what we're doing.
00:27:25Yeah.
00:27:27Well, this is
00:27:29a terrible venue.
00:27:31Oh, I know. Couldn't have picked a worse spot, huh?
00:27:33It's very low-key, for sure.
00:27:35Discreet.
00:27:37So how was your evening yesterday?
00:27:39I slept probably about an hour and a half.
00:27:41How's it been living together?
00:27:43I've loved it. Have you?
00:27:45It's because you've got somewhere to stay, mate.
00:27:47I'm not homeless!
00:27:49The thing is, the way we left it was
00:27:51almost undecided, in a way.
00:27:53I didn't want to be in a position coming into
00:27:55today where we didn't know what each other
00:27:57was going to say, and that's kind of what we got.
00:27:59We take it so seriously, this commitment.
00:28:01So there is an element of the unknown still,
00:28:03there's like uncharted territory.
00:28:05I think you'll know by when you're up there.
00:28:07I know what I'm going to say.
00:28:09You know? I think so.
00:28:11I know what that means.
00:28:13In life, I've always followed my heart,
00:28:15and if I've always followed
00:28:17my heart and that's been, like,
00:28:19my compass, in a way, then I shouldn't
00:28:21really change course now.
00:28:23Even if that means there's a
00:28:25potential scenario where Nicole says
00:28:27I do not, I can walk
00:28:29away without having any regrets.
00:28:31Well, good luck today, then. Cheers, boys.
00:28:33Thanks a lot for being here. You don't need luck, mate.
00:28:35You're going to be great. Yes.
00:28:37Thanks for being here for the sport.
00:28:39Love you both, man. Cheers, love you too.
00:28:41I've been single for ten years, and I will only
00:28:43go into a relationship with somebody if I truly think
00:28:45they're the right person. How
00:28:47I am around Nicole, how our
00:28:49relationships are together, and how we work as a team,
00:28:51I sometimes
00:28:53think, how have I operated in life
00:28:55without that? Ready to go, boys.
00:28:57Ready? You look really nice, mate. Cheers, guys.
00:28:59So do you two. Group hug.
00:29:01Group hug.
00:29:03Bye.
00:29:05Bye.
00:29:07Bye, love.
00:29:09You look gorgeous.
00:29:11You look beautiful.
00:29:13Oh, look at you.
00:29:15Gorgeous. You're a bride.
00:29:17Being
00:29:19in the dress, I think it brings it to
00:29:21focus that this
00:29:23is what this has been about.
00:29:25I really want to say yes.
00:29:27I'm ready through hell and high water
00:29:29to love him, you know,
00:29:31unconditionally. It's just,
00:29:33I'm afraid, will he throw in the towel
00:29:35if things get a bit hard?
00:29:37I just don't know. I don't know.
00:29:39I swear,
00:29:41Nicole, when he sees you walking down that aisle,
00:29:43he's going to be so blown away.
00:29:45Hello.
00:29:47Hello.
00:29:49You look stunning.
00:29:51Hello.
00:29:53You look gorgeous. You look so beautiful.
00:29:55Thank you so much.
00:29:57My mum is walking me down
00:29:59the aisle. My dad would love to be here,
00:30:01but due to
00:30:03work projects, he's not able to
00:30:05attend. My mum represents
00:30:07her and my dad.
00:30:09We all support you. Thank you.
00:30:11And Ben, and that's whether you say
00:30:13yes or whether you say no,
00:30:15we support you 100% every step of the way.
00:30:17Thank you. Thank you, girls,
00:30:19honestly, for being there for me.
00:30:21Thank you. Cheers, Nicole and Minaya.
00:30:23Cheers.
00:30:29Wow.
00:30:37So pretty.
00:30:41Throughout this whole experience,
00:30:43we have taken
00:30:45many leaps of faith,
00:30:47and it's led us to this moment.
00:30:49How are you feeling?
00:30:51Terrified. Good luck.
00:30:53Cheers, mate. Thank you.
00:30:55It's one final leap of faith, and I'm hoping
00:30:57that she jumps.
00:31:11How are you? Good.
00:31:17I like your heels.
00:31:21I knew Ben Nile is a nice
00:31:23guy, and you've chosen
00:31:25him. And I wish
00:31:27you guys all the best.
00:31:29Love you too.
00:31:35Please stand for the bride.
00:31:55I love you.
00:31:57I love you too.
00:31:59I wish you all the best.
00:32:01Thank you very much. Thank you.
00:32:03You're an incredible brother.
00:32:05Thank you. You too.
00:32:07Friends and family, please be seated.
00:32:17This is a very
00:32:19significant moment in Benia
00:32:21and Nicole's lives, as they
00:32:23decide to embark on the beautiful journey
00:32:25to becoming a married couple.
00:32:27Are there any thoughts that you would
00:32:29like to share about how you fell in love
00:32:31with one another?
00:32:33Um...
00:32:35Yeah.
00:32:37I wake up every day, you know, with gratitude
00:32:39and appreciation that I found
00:32:41you in the most unconventional
00:32:43way.
00:32:45You immediately grab my attention
00:32:47with your positive energy, your sweet,
00:32:49kind, caring nature, and your
00:32:51infectious laugh.
00:32:53You accept me for who I am,
00:32:55flaws included, which shows
00:32:57me you have an unconditional love.
00:32:59We've been constantly
00:33:01challenged throughout,
00:33:03but rough seas make for good
00:33:05sailors. And in those
00:33:07moments of tough times,
00:33:09our relationship has blossomed.
00:33:11The moments when we can
00:33:13laugh and be silly together show me
00:33:15that I found the perfect person.
00:33:17I'm in love with you.
00:33:21♪
00:33:25When I came to this experiment,
00:33:27although I was hopeful to find
00:33:29someone, never in my wildest dreams
00:33:31did I imagine I would meet someone
00:33:33who literally spoke to my heart the way you did.
00:33:35From our
00:33:37first hello, I felt
00:33:39like you were my kindred spirit.
00:33:41You understand me
00:33:43and see me in ways that I've
00:33:45never quite felt seen before.
00:33:47And I feel with you,
00:33:49this could really be an adventure.
00:33:51♪
00:33:53Benaiah and Nicole,
00:33:55you fell in love based on who
00:33:57you are on the inside
00:33:59by getting to know each other's
00:34:01character, beliefs, and
00:34:03values.
00:34:05You chose to get engaged
00:34:07and spend the rest of your lives together
00:34:09based on a deep emotional
00:34:11connection.
00:34:13Now is the
00:34:15time to decide if love is
00:34:17a friend.
00:34:19♪
00:34:21Do you, Benaiah,
00:34:23promise to spend your life with
00:34:25Nicole, meeting each
00:34:27new joy and sorrow together,
00:34:29to be a true
00:34:31and faithful partner,
00:34:33and to support Nicole in
00:34:35all of life's circumstances
00:34:37as you face them together?
00:34:39♪

00:34:43Of course I do.
00:34:45Easy.

00:34:57your life with Benaiah,

00:35:05understanding of him,

00:35:09with kindness and compassion,
00:35:11and
00:35:13welcoming each new chapter of life
00:35:15together with a spirit of
00:35:17curiosity and patience?
00:35:19♪

00:37:27She's going to be in a wedding dress,
00:37:29so it's going to be emotional.
00:37:31Might shed a tear or two.

00:37:49You know, we've come from the pods,
00:37:51and it's all led up to this one moment.
00:37:53Like, it's magical.
00:37:55♪
00:37:57We've been on such a journey,
00:37:59and I'm ready to commit myself to Freddie.
00:38:01♪
00:38:03♪
00:38:05♪
00:38:07♪
00:38:09♪
00:38:11♪
00:38:13♪
00:38:15♪
00:38:17♪
00:38:19♪
00:38:21To Kat,
00:38:23I know today you're going to be feeling nervous,
00:38:25but know that we're together,
00:38:27and as long as we're together,
00:38:29we can get through anything.
00:38:31I got you a little sentimental gift
00:38:33to match your ring.
00:38:35See you soon, beautiful.
00:38:37Love, Freddie.
00:38:39Oh, my God. Stop.
00:38:41♪
00:38:43♪
00:38:45You can't not love Freddie.
00:38:47♪
00:38:49Oh, my God.
00:38:51♪
00:38:53♪
00:38:55Oh, my God.
00:38:57♪
00:38:59♪
00:39:01♪
00:39:03I've got butterflies in my stomach.
00:39:05If that doesn't say a lot,
00:39:07like, I don't know what does.
00:39:09My middle name's Mary.
00:39:11Is it?
00:39:13Yeah. It's named after my gran.
00:39:15My nana was called Mary.
00:39:17Stop, I'm gonna cry.
00:39:19Isn't that crazy? What was your granddad called?
00:39:21Bill.
00:39:23No. Do you know what my granddad was called?
00:39:25Bill.
00:39:29I've got goosebumps.
00:39:31I formed a connection with Kat quite early on in the pods.
00:39:33We share the same values.
00:39:35We share the same interests.
00:39:37I knew that what we had was real.
00:39:39I've got nothing else on my mind. It's just you.
00:39:41And I do feel like
00:39:43that you're the person I was destined to be with.
00:39:45It's crazy to think
00:39:47I've come this far.
00:39:49I dreamed that I'd find you, Kat.
00:39:51It's written in the stars.
00:39:53It's written in the stars.
00:39:55Will you marry me?
00:39:57Yeah.
00:40:01Let's go home.
00:40:09I can't believe it. I'm shaking.
00:40:11I've never loved anyone
00:40:13like I've loved Freddie.
00:40:15But obviously, we've been through
00:40:17so many intense situations, you know.
00:40:19If we were to get married,
00:40:21like, would you be offended
00:40:23if I was to get something in place
00:40:25to say that my assets would be going to,
00:40:27say, my sister if I was to pass away?
00:40:31We do have our differences,
00:40:33but I know that I have found somebody
00:40:35that I love and loves me back.
00:40:37This is possibly the biggest decision of my life.
00:40:39One minute, I'm feeling scared.
00:40:41The next, I'm feeling happy.
00:40:43Yeah, it's weird.
00:40:45I'm a pro at funerals,
00:40:47but maybe not so much at weddings.
00:40:51We have both been emotionally challenged.
00:40:53But we've been there for each other
00:40:55through thick and thin.
00:40:57We've communicated.
00:40:59And I just love him.
00:41:01I know that this guy is meant to be
00:41:03my future.
00:41:05Hi.
00:41:07Hi.
00:41:09You OK? Yeah.
00:41:11How are you?
00:41:13It's good to see you.
00:41:15How are you?
00:41:17It's good to see you.
00:41:19Hi.
00:41:21Yeah, I'm good.
00:41:23Take a seat.
00:41:25Have you seen this?
00:41:27Oh, my gosh.
00:41:29And look what he wrote.
00:41:31Like, genuinely.
00:41:33I honestly had no idea.
00:41:35It's so cute.
00:41:37I can't believe the earrings
00:41:39literally match the ring.
00:41:41Yeah, lovely.
00:41:43Like, yeah, boy's done good.
00:41:45Seeing that, that's given me reassurance.
00:41:47Like, that is so important.
00:41:49Yeah, because that's, like, your biggest thing.
00:41:51Exactly.
00:41:53I've been let down in life.
00:41:55My birth mum
00:41:57gave me up. She kind of rejected me.
00:41:59I think it emotionally
00:42:01damages you growing up,
00:42:03you know. You always have, maybe,
00:42:05that fear of rejection.
00:42:07So my expectations for reassurance is massive.
00:42:09I need him to just be
00:42:11100% sure. I don't want him having doubts.
00:42:13You know, this shit's serious.
00:42:15What has made you
00:42:17fall in love with him?
00:42:19I was talking to Freddie in the pods from day one.
00:42:21The warmth that you felt
00:42:23between that wall.
00:42:25Even with my adoption, he's been amazing.
00:42:27It's just mad, like,
00:42:29you just know when you've got a connection with someone.
00:42:31It does help that he's, like,
00:42:33created by Jesus himself.
00:42:35Like, his body is carved by God.
00:42:37Okay.
00:42:39Let's just manifest Freddie
00:42:41into saying yes.
00:42:43I think the fact that he's bought you earrings
00:42:45to wear today...
00:42:47I feel like, why would you write a letter
00:42:49to get someone really hyped up for a situation?
00:42:51Stop! Don't, because I can't get my hopes up.
00:42:57We're very excited out with Jack.
00:42:59Are you excited? Are you my best man?
00:43:01Yeah.
00:43:03Are you my best man, yeah?
00:43:05Yeah?
00:43:07Good lad.
00:43:09It does feel a bit surreal.
00:43:11There is, like, complete mixed emotions from me.
00:43:13I'm, like, happy and anxious
00:43:15and stuff as well, so God knows how you're feeling.
00:43:17It's going to be a beautiful day, I think.
00:43:19It's a celebration of what we've achieved.
00:43:21Yeah. Finding each other.
00:43:23Yeah. You know, without this experiment,
00:43:25we wouldn't have... I never would have met Kat.
00:43:27No, exactly.
00:43:29And, potentially, we've got each other
00:43:31for the rest of our lives, so...
00:43:33I want to tell you something,
00:43:35and I don't really want it to influence anything
00:43:37or change your mind or anything like that.
00:43:39I just want you to take it on board,
00:43:41and me as your sister, I just want to tell you...
00:43:43I do worry
00:43:45that you are on different pages.
00:43:47She's a lovely girl.
00:43:49I don't know.
00:43:51She's just different to you.
00:43:53Yeah. I do love Katherine,
00:43:55but there are some differences.
00:43:57I'd rather just chill at home
00:43:59and watch a bit of telly.
00:44:01She's more into going out
00:44:03and, you know, more, as she calls it,
00:44:05bougie things,
00:44:07and I think she's tried to play that down.
00:44:09What I worry about is she's trying to portray herself
00:44:11as what she thinks I want in a girl,
00:44:13and that concerns me.
00:44:15There is, like, a big knot in my stomach.
00:44:17I think that's why I feel
00:44:19a lot of anxiety around today.
00:44:21All in all, you know,
00:44:23we do get on well.
00:44:25We have got a really strong connection,
00:44:27and I know that we can grow
00:44:29together and become stronger.
00:44:31There is a lot to consider,
00:44:33but just stay true to yourself,
00:44:35and whatever your decision is,
00:44:37we 100% support it.
00:44:41We love Freddie very much, don't we?
00:44:43Do you love me?
00:44:45Do you love me? Yeah?
00:44:47Ultimately,
00:44:49we just want you both to be happy.
00:44:51I expect.
00:44:53I...
00:44:55I've been waiting
00:44:57I've been waiting
00:44:59I've been waiting
00:45:03for you
00:45:05No turning back now.
00:45:07Are you so sure?
00:45:11I think we all do.
00:45:15Hi. Hi.
00:45:17Oh, good timing.
00:45:19You look lovely.
00:45:21Thank you. So do you.
00:45:23You look amazing.
00:45:25Beautiful.
00:45:27You look stunning.
00:45:29That's gorgeous.
00:45:31Beautiful.
00:45:33You look gorgeous.
00:45:35I'm so excited to see Freddie.
00:45:37Being in this dress and thinking
00:45:39that he may say yes,
00:45:41it makes me feel amazing.
00:45:43This is everything I've wanted.
00:45:45I can't believe he got me these earrings.
00:45:47Let me get your glasses.
00:45:49Oh, they look good.
00:45:51That's perfect.
00:45:53Oh, they look gorgeous.
00:45:55Here's to that.
00:45:57To Freddie saying yes.
00:45:59You're bloody better.
00:46:01You're absolutely gorgeous.
00:46:05To you both.
00:46:07Going from a child seeing you
00:46:09growing up to this stunning
00:46:11young lady is amazing.
00:46:13It really is.
00:46:17Stop crying. I can't help it, it's you.
00:46:19I just want to get married now.
00:46:21Are you ready?
00:46:23I'm ready now.
00:46:33It feels real now.
00:46:35Let's have a look at that.
00:46:37Perfect.
00:46:39My friends and family
00:46:41want what's best for me.
00:46:43I value my sister's opinion
00:46:45more than anybody's.
00:46:47But then again,
00:46:49I've met this beautiful girl
00:46:51that I've got an amazing connection with.
00:46:53And she's here for me.
00:46:59I'd say I'm confident in my decision.
00:47:01I just hope that emotions don't get the better of me
00:47:03and I crumble.
00:47:05Say it.
00:47:07You're very smart, aren't you?
00:47:09Very smart, aren't you?
00:47:13Don't cry.
00:47:17I'm here.
00:47:39Oh, gosh.
00:48:01I'm excited to see Friday.
00:48:05It's going to be such a fun celebration.
00:48:07You know, like, we've done it.
00:48:09We have come this far.
00:48:11And now we can go and tackle the world together.
00:48:15I got the garter on
00:48:17and I'm ready.
00:48:19Good luck.
00:48:23My thoughts and my heart is with you today.
00:48:25I hope everything goes well
00:48:27and your wishes have come true.
00:48:31Are you ready?
00:48:33Cut.
00:48:37Please be upstanding for your bride.
00:48:39Are you ready?
00:48:41Please be upstanding for your bride.
00:49:09You look very beautiful.
00:49:17Friends and family,
00:49:19it is an absolute joy
00:49:21to welcome you all here
00:49:23as we gather to share
00:49:25this magical day
00:49:27with Catherine and Freddie.
00:49:29Your journey to love,
00:49:31as unconventional
00:49:33as others might see it,
00:49:35has led us to this point.
00:49:37It's been the joining of two hearts,
00:49:39two minds,
00:49:41two souls,
00:49:43and the promise of two futures
00:49:45being shared as one.
00:49:49Are there any thoughts
00:49:51that you would like to share with one another
00:49:53at this time?
00:49:57Freddie,
00:49:59from the moment I heard your voice,
00:50:01I knew this was going to be special.
00:50:03Words will never describe
00:50:05how lucky I am.
00:50:07And someone was definitely looking over me
00:50:09that day I walked into the pods.
00:50:13From this moment onwards, I'm never letting go.
00:50:15And I cannot wait
00:50:17to start my life with you
00:50:19and hold your hand every step of the way.
00:50:21I love you, Freddie,
00:50:23and thank you for being you
00:50:25because that's why we're here today.
00:50:29Beautiful words.
00:50:31Catherine,
00:50:33my love for you was formed without seeing you.
00:50:35We connected through our
00:50:37inner qualities, personalities,
00:50:39and the way we made each other feel.
00:50:41It's a testament to you and the power of our emotional
00:50:43and intellectual connection that we share.
00:50:45Appearances can sometimes
00:50:47be misleading,
00:50:49and forming a love blind allowed me
00:50:51to truly appreciate the essence of you.
00:50:53It allowed me to focus on
00:50:55your words, thoughts, actions, and it allowed
00:50:57us to create a deep bond that goes beyond
00:50:59superficialities.
00:51:01We shared our most inner thoughts,
00:51:03feelings, and dreams.
00:51:05We've had conversations that I've never had
00:51:07with anyone else. I believe in fate,
00:51:09and I believe we were destined to be stood here
00:51:11in this very moment.
00:51:13Thank you. That was good.
00:51:15Tried.
00:51:19Freddie and Catherine,
00:51:21you fell in love with each other
00:51:23based on who you were on the inside
00:51:25and decided to get
00:51:27married sight unseen.
00:51:29Now
00:51:31is the time to decide
00:51:33if love is blind.
00:51:41Do you, Catherine, take
00:51:43Freddie to be your husband
00:51:45and partner for life?
00:51:47Do you promise to be open and honest
00:51:49and to love him for the rest of
00:51:51your lives together?
00:51:57I do.
00:52:07Freddie,
00:52:09do you take Catherine to be your
00:52:11wife and partner for life?
00:52:13Do you promise to be open and
00:52:15honest and love
00:52:17her for the rest of your lives together?
00:52:27I love you, Cat.
00:52:37But at the time, it might not be right for us.
00:52:47I can't believe you just did that.
00:52:51This isn't a goodbye. It's not a rejection
00:52:53of the love that we shared.
00:52:55Part of me wanted to say yes and embark
00:52:57on this journey with you.
00:52:59But as I look into your eyes,
00:53:01I know that I'm faced with a truth
00:53:03that we both have to acknowledge.
00:53:05That there's still mountains left for us to climb
00:53:07and lessons for us to learn before
00:53:09fully embracing our lifelong commitment.
00:53:13And I do love you, Cat.
00:53:15But I just need to be honest to both of us.
00:53:19Come here.
00:53:21Don't go.
00:53:23Don't take off.
00:53:33I know.
00:53:47Okay.
00:53:49Okay.
00:53:53It's a lot less intense now.
00:53:55Oh.
00:53:59What happened?
00:54:01It's so heavy.
00:54:03I've got a tissue.
00:54:05You've got home, so just be proud of yourself.
00:54:07You did the right thing. You were honest to yourself.
00:54:09Jesus Christ.
00:54:15Hey.
00:54:17I just want to be on my own.
00:54:19Can I just be on my own, please?
00:54:21I'll leave you.
00:54:27I feel numb.
00:54:29I just feel really unwanted.
00:54:39Yeah. Thank you, darling.
00:54:41Thanks, William. Thank you.
00:54:43Are you all right, darling?
00:54:45Yeah.
00:54:53I didn't want it to be that way.
00:54:57Your words were beautiful, Freddie.
00:54:59Your words were beautiful.
00:55:01You've just been true and honest
00:55:03to yourself and home, right?
00:55:05You went to do it with the wrong decision for you.
00:55:07And that's what you feel.
00:55:11It's just difficult
00:55:13because I don't want to hurt anybody.
00:55:15Especially Cat.
00:55:17Listening to my sister,
00:55:19to be honest, it was something
00:55:21that I felt anyway, despite Cat
00:55:23saying that, you know, she doesn't like this
00:55:25sort of materialistic lifestyle.
00:55:27I do think there is an aspect of that about her
00:55:29and I think the only way I can
00:55:31work out whether that's true or not
00:55:33is with time.
00:55:35That was her biggest fear.
00:55:39Yeah, she doesn't deal with, like, rejection very well.
00:55:45I know it's hard.
00:55:47It's all right, darling.
00:55:51It's just so unfair.
00:55:59I'm so sorry.
00:56:01It's OK.
00:56:05I don't know what to do.
00:56:09I just feel so embarrassed.
00:56:11You don't need to feel embarrassed at all.
00:56:13Everyone's upset for you.
00:56:15Like, I don't think anyone
00:56:17thought this was going to happen.
00:56:21Did you take your earrings off?
00:56:23Yeah, I took my earrings out.
00:56:25And I took the ring off.
00:56:27I just feel so stupid.
00:56:31Part of me thought he was going to see her.
00:56:33Don't be cross with me
00:56:35for my honesty.
00:56:37I am. All right?
00:56:39Yeah.
00:56:41Take a seat.
00:56:45I understand it's difficult.
00:56:47You don't want to see your little girl upset.
00:56:49And equally, I don't either.
00:56:51I don't want you to think for any minute
00:56:53that this decision has been made
00:56:55because I don't love her,
00:56:57because that's not the case.
00:56:59So what's your future with her now?
00:57:01I'm hoping that we're still going to
00:57:03pursue a life together,
00:57:05we're still going to live together
00:57:07and make it work.
00:57:09I want her in my life
00:57:11and I'm hoping, you know,
00:57:13the things that we do need to work on
00:57:15are things we can, you know, overcome
00:57:17and that'll make us stronger.
00:57:19OK.
00:57:21I appreciate you being honest.
00:57:23It's just hard.
00:57:25I know it's hard. I know. Of course.
00:57:27Yeah.
00:57:29All right.
00:57:33Look after yourself.
00:57:35Yeah, you take care.
00:57:37OK.
00:57:39Yeah, thank you.
00:57:41OK.
00:57:45OK?
00:57:47Yeah.
00:57:49That took out some of his parts.
00:57:51It did.
00:57:53I just have to see how she deals with it.
00:57:55Yeah.
00:57:59I think you can still
00:58:01stay together and give it a shot.
00:58:03Like, you said he's, like,
00:58:05in love with you.
00:58:07He's not in love with me.
00:58:09Well, he loves me, but he's not in love.
00:58:11I don't know what's to come.
00:58:17You all right?
00:58:19Well, if you're too...
00:58:29Sorry, Kat.
00:58:35You understand my reasonings, don't you?
00:58:39I understand it's going to be hard,
00:58:41but I'm here, your family's here.
00:58:43You've got so much love around you.
00:58:47I just don't know how to pick myself up.
00:58:51You know, I was ready to commit to you.
00:58:53I never want to walk down the aisle again.
00:58:55Like, I just don't want to.
00:58:57Do you trust what we have?
00:58:59I do trust.
00:59:01And it's just going to take a lot for me to bounce back.
00:59:03Yeah, I understand.
00:59:05And I'm here to work through this together.
00:59:07Yeah?
00:59:11It'll be fine.
00:59:13I've gone through shit in my life.
00:59:15All right.
00:59:19I love you, Kat.
00:59:27I love you.
00:59:49It was far harder saying no
00:59:51to Maria and the Altar
00:59:53than I'd ever envisaged.
00:59:55It was clear to everyone in that room
00:59:57how strong our connection was.
00:59:59But ultimately,
01:00:01our conflicting values
01:00:03would continuously crop up throughout our relationship.
01:00:15It does make me sad.
01:00:17But whatever's happened,
01:00:19I'm forever grateful to this experience.
01:00:21I feel like if we hadn't come up against
01:00:23all those differences in values,
01:00:25it probably would have been a yes.
01:00:33It's not the perfect outcome
01:00:35on paper,
01:00:37but I've had an amazing experience.
01:00:39This experiment has taught me so much
01:00:41and it's led me to an amazing person,
01:00:43so if I'm supposed to be sad about that,
01:00:45then I'm sorry. I'm not going to be.
01:00:47I'm so grateful
01:00:49for everything that I've experienced
01:00:51during this experiment.
01:00:53I'm not walking out of here with a husband,
01:00:55but do I think that we could have
01:00:57a future together?
01:00:59Yeah. Just watch this space.
01:01:07I said yes
01:01:09because I found the person
01:01:11I want to spend my life with.
01:01:13Obviously, it's nice to hear
01:01:15he still wants to be with me,
01:01:17but actions speak louder than words right now.
01:01:19I love him,
01:01:21but I don't know.
01:01:31I am sad
01:01:33that I'm not leaving as husband and wife.
01:01:35I'll be very honest.
01:01:37When she said I do, it was still a big part of me
01:01:39just thinking,
01:01:41do we just go with this?
01:01:43I do believe there's things we need to overcome,
01:01:45discussions we need to have and things we need to
01:01:47work through before making that big step of marriage.
01:01:49Hopefully,
01:01:51one day we can be in a position where
01:01:53we both say I do.
01:02:09Yeah, it's been a journey.
01:02:11Coming away from the pods,
01:02:13being absolutely heartbroken
01:02:15to finish married,
01:02:17husband and wife,
01:02:19feels very, very good.
01:02:21A toast to my
01:02:23beautiful wife. We're excited about
01:02:25the future and that you're going to be
01:02:27a big part of that too.
01:02:29Cheers!
01:02:33Love you.
01:02:42This is my husband.
01:02:44This is my wife.
01:02:46Feels quite natural actually, doesn't it?
01:02:48It does.
01:02:53I'm just so grateful for the whole experiment
01:02:55because it works.
01:02:57We got to know each other on a level
01:02:59that I don't know
01:03:01if I've ever had a connection in my life
01:03:03the same way. I'm one very lucky man
01:03:05and I'm going to feel that luck
01:03:07every single day waking up next to you.
01:03:09Cheers to love is blind.
01:03:11To love is blind.
01:03:15Love is
01:03:17bloody blind, it is.
01:03:19Like, let's be real here.
01:03:21I fell in love basing it purely
01:03:23on the conversations
01:03:25that we were having.
01:03:29This is a forever type of love.
01:03:31This is a
01:03:33until we're grey type of love.
01:03:35This experiment has been
01:03:37very intense,
01:03:39it's been very emotional, it's been incredible
01:03:41but it's only the beginning of our journey.
01:03:45Give me a kiss.
01:04:07She got a body of an answer.
01:04:09She got a body of an answer.
01:04:11She got a body of an answer.
