Guess where we are.

Where are we?

We're about to get our marriage license.
sh*t's getting real.

We're at the courthouse.

Last time I was here
it was for a speeding ticket,

and this just feels so much better.

[both laugh]

-Look, our names! Ready to go.
-We got it. [laughs]

-Oh, wow. This is crazy.
-How do you feel?

-I feel great. Excited.
-[chuckles]

Definitely feels real. It's hitting.
Uh, and I can't wait.

-[Stacy in nasal voice] Oh, my God.
-All right.

So we're here
getting our marriage license.

[clerk] You guys double-check your names?
Make sure it's correct.

[Lydia] Yes, they are correct.

[clerk] That's going to be $74.

[clerk] Okay.

-[Lydia] You excited?
-Yeah.

-Are you?
-Yes.

[Stacy] Oh, my God. I have never seen
this many dresses in my life.

Look, all of the dresses,
they look amazing. They're stunning!

Oh, my God!

You wore white!

Fabulous.

-[Izzy] Hello, hello!
-Yo, fellas! Come on in.

Take a seat, guys.

-How are you, guys?
-I'm good! We're excited.

So who'd you bring with you today, Lydia?

-So, I brought my mom.
-Hi.

[Lydia] Renee.

-Hi, Renee.
-Hi.

One of my best friends, Christa.

-Hi.
-[Vanessa] Hi, Christa.

And my handsome brother William.

[Vanessa] William, hi!

-Are you guys excited for her today?
-[William] Absolutely.

Lydia's very genuine,
and I know she really wanted to find love.

I'm excited.

And you've all met Milton?

-Yes.
-And, Mom?

Very emotional.

The happiness.

The love.

-I feel that.
-["Make It Ours" by Full Circle playing]

[Nick] All right.
Well, guys, this is a big day.

-You feeling it?
-Oh, yeah.

[Nick] You guys are just one week away
from your wedding day.

How does it feel to hear those words
out of my mouth?

It's exciting.

Nerve-racking, nervous, exciting.

-There's no wrong answers here, guys.
-[all laughing]

I'm super lucky to find Lydia.

Like, she's a firecracker.

-And there's never, like, a dull moment.
-[Nick chuckles]

I feel, like, really excited...

Nice.

...to get married,
uh, to spend the rest of my life with her.

I just have to make sure
my pants aren't too short.

[all laughing]

[Nick] You're tall, but we got you
covered here today, man.

As someone who's married
to someone who's loud,

uh, and has a lot of energy,
it's a lot of fun, man.

Just hold on for dear life.

It's like riding a bull.
Just, you know, hold on.

-Just don't fall off.
-[all laughing]

-So, Mom, hi!
-[Tracy laughs] Hi!

[Vanessa] How are you?

-I'm great.
-[all laughing]

Just great!

-I'm like, "We haven't even started."
-[laughing]

I don't even have a dress on yet.

-She's already losing it.
-I know. Just a little emotional.

[Vanessa] Well, of course.
This is a big day.

How were you feeling when Stacy told you,
"I met the man I'm gonna marry"?

Shocked, um...

She doesn't jump into things.

-But I really think it's what she needed.
-[Stacy] Mmm-hmm.

Because she might have been the one
that looked at a person,

and that's how she chose
somebody to go out with.

[Vanessa] Yeah.

-[Stacy] Mmm-hmm.
-Where this, she really had to dig deep.

-And converse with someone.
-Yeah.

And really get to know them.

So have you girls,
sisters, and Mom met Izzy?

[both] Yes.

-[Vanessa] And?
-[Tracy] We love him.

-[Sloan] Amazing.
-He's the best.

And he is the balance that Stacy needs.

Izzy, who do you have with you today?

I have my mom and two
of my really good friends, Nick and Zach.

[Nick] 'Sup, guys? How are you, Mom?

-Hello. It's good to see you.
-Good to see you.

You had a chance to meet Stacy?
Got to know each other?

Wonderful, wonderful, sweet girl.

-And her family.
-[Nick] Amazing.

I'm thrilled to see the support system
you have here today

because very, very, very soon,
you're gonna be standing at that altar,

and you're gonna have to make
the most important decision of your lives.

[Vanessa] Do you say "I do"
to the man that you fell in love with

based on who he was on the inside?

Or do you walk away from them forever?

Milton, Izzy, this is to you. Good luck.

-[Izzy] Thank you. Cheers.
-[Nick] All the best. Cheers.

[Milton and Izzy] Ooh-ee!

[Stacy] And I want something fun,
but I don't want it to look too trendy.

[Chelsea] Yeah.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

My best friend had it made.

[upbeat music playing]

I showed it to Izzy this morning,
and he, like, got teary-eyed.

Like, "Mrs. Zapata." He was like...

[voice breaking] "That's really cool."

Oh, my God. Why are you crying? [laughing]

It's supposed to be fun.
He's like, "Oh, it's just getting real."

Would you ever go
with this kind of a pattern?

-[Stacy] Oh, look. Comes off easy.
-[Tracy laughs] Yeah.

-[Stacy] Izzy would like that.
-[laughing]

There's nothing intimidating
to me about shopping.

I think it's more finding something
that feels like me.

I need to have, like, a connection,
like, a moment with a dress

to feel like it fits and makes sense.

-I don't like the glittery crap.
-[Chelsea] Yeah.

[Tracy] How about this?

Look at Stacy's face.
Stacy's face is like, "Heck, no."

Like, something weird,
odd, something out-there,

but, like, accessorize it
to where it doesn't look out-there.

Just like a little,
"Oh, I wasn't l expecting that."

I need something like that.
It can't be basic.

-What's this?
-It's the train, I think.

Oh!

-Let's do it.
-Yeah, yeah.

As long as I'm thinking,
"What is that?" I'm gonna try it.

Maybe I'll, like, chop up a dress,
and just, like, create my own.

-[chuckles]
-[upbeat music playing]

[Izzy] I appreciate y'all coming,
honestly.

Absolutely, man. We're here for ya.

-[laughs] Are you ready?
-Uh, yeah, I feel ready.

I mean, obviously,
I was engaged once before.

Marriage is something I've wanted.

It helps obviously to know,
like, what you're looking for.

-And who you like.
-Exactly.

So, like, just as much as Stacy
knows what she wants,

and she's very cutthroat
on what she's looking for,

I feel the same way.

But, no, I'm definitely confident in her.

If we didn't communicate as well as we do,

and actually, like, resolve issues,
then I probably wouldn't be so confident.

But the fact that we have that
as a foundation,

I'm like, "Hell yeah,
I can do this with you."

It's one week until our wedding.
I don't feel nervous.

I think this is
why I'm so confident in it,

because this is how I felt the day
before I was gonna propose to Stacy.

I am so confident in that girl.

I'm madly in love with her.

I'm just more happy than anything.

So right now I'm just filled with love,
happiness and ready to go.

Well, yeah, my biggest concern is,
is she gonna say yes?

["I Do Too" by Rupert Pope,
John Robertson & Eller playing]

[all laughing]

[women exclaiming]

-[Lydia] Oh, my God, look at those...
-[Renee] I like that.

[Lydia] How are you feeling?

-Your reaction, your facial is not...
-Not great.

Yeah, no, it's not me.

-[Sloan] It's not you.
-[Stacy] No, not at all.

This isn't our cry dress.

-You're not gonna get tears.
-For me, it's just boring.

-Yeah.
-[Stacy] It's very boring.

[Tracy] We really weren't looking
for her to be married,

but this experiment
really is meant for someone like her.

They're a good match.

We love Izzy.

He's, uh, just very calming
for her kind of personality.

I mean, he's already become
like a part of our family.

-[Lydia gasps] Okay, this is it.
-[Sloan] Oh, my God.

-Oh, my God, this is it.
-[laughing]

[Stacy] I can't even walk
'cause it's so much!

-[laughs] Oh, my God!
-[Lydia] This is perfect.

[Stacy] It's like 4,000 tutus.

But it's gorgeous!

-[Stacy laughs] I know.
-You look radiant.

And look at your face!

[Stacy laughs]

-How are you feeling in that?
-[Stacy] I love it.

-Like, this is so me.
-[Lydia] It is you.

[Tracy] It's beautiful.

I'm loving that on you.

I love it.

[woman] You look absolutely gorgeous.

-[Chelsea] Gosh, you look really pretty.
-[chuckles]

[Lydia] Oh, yes!

[laughs]

So pretty.

-[Lydia] Stunning.
-Thank you.

[Lydia] You look stunning, boo-boo.

[Chelsea] It's stunning.
What do you think Izzy's gonna think?

-I already know. He will cry.
-Yeah.

-Uh, probably. [laughs]
-[Tracy] Yeah. Yeah.

He will cry. It's beautiful.

[laughs] This is crazy.

This is the dress.

She is so expl*sive,

so high energy, it is, like...

It's amazing.

But, yeah, she's stubborn as hell.

-[Sebastian laughs]
-She's a brat, but, like, I love it.

Every night, like, we make sure
we have a conversation before bed.

And, like, you guys all know me.
I'm not the best communicator.

-[man] You're terrible at it.
-[Milton] Terrible communicator.

But, like, with her,
it's scary how good our communication is...

Damn, like, how do we relate
to one another so well?

And there always is that respect.

I think, like, one of the things
I need to work on is, like,

she's a little bit more, like,
passionate than I am, like, emotional.

So, like, sometimes I have to make sure,
like, I use the right word track.

And, like, you know, everybody knows me.

If I'm gonna say something,
I'm gonna say it how it is,

no matter how vulgar,
outlandish it is, like...

So, like, now I'm toning that back,
like, learning how to, like...

[man] Actually have a filter for once?

Yeah, have a filter. Yeah,
I guess I have to have a slight filter.

A couple years late,
but he finally got one, you know?

He says that we're always right, women.
Well, it's true.

[all laughing]

I guess I can admit, like, I am nervous,
whether I, like, wanna show it or not.

That's not something
I'm used to expressing.

I'm always kind of like the laid-back,
kind of mature guy, but, like,

I am kind of scared. I am kind of nervous.

I'd like to believe Lydia
in that she would say yes,

but...

I don't know. There's still that unknown.

I can't tell you 100%.

-[laughing]

-[Lydia] I'll say yes, baby.
-[all laughing]

Oh, my God! I am so excited.

It's like reality is kicking in.

I'm getting married.

-What do you like?
-I'm crazy about this part.

Like, the top of it.

Yeah, you can dream, but I never had
the certainty that it was going to happen,

and it makes me emotional
to even think like, "Yeah, I'm here."

"I'm in love."

"And I'm about to find my dress."

Why do... You don't like?

[Lydia] Not that I don't like it.

I just feel like I wanna see,
like, a form-fitted more type style.

-[Stacy] You need something to compare it.
-Yes.

I can move.
I can dance. Let me see if I could twerk.

-[Lydia Sr.] Yes!
-[all laughing]

-[Lydia Sr.] Okay.
-All is well in the world.

[Lydia] Let me see if we can take it low.

-[Lydia exclaims]
-[all cheering]

You're getting flashbacks, huh?

-[Lydia Sr.] Go, Lydia!
-This is how it goes.

Go, Lydia!

[Stacy] Something's
about to pop out from the top.

[laughing]

Yeah.

-[clerk] Are we ready to try the next one?
-Yes!

[in Spanish] Every mother's dream
is to imagine her son as a groom

or daughter as a bride.

This is beyond all of my expectations.

I had dreamt about it,

but I didn't ever think it could be

so moving, so exciting.

-[women gasping]
-[Lydia Sr. in English] Oh, my God!

-The body, girl.
-[gasps]

-[Lydia] The body.
-[all exclaim]

-[Christa] Okay, I love that.
-[Lydia] Oh, wow.

-[Lydia Sr.] I love it.
-[Stacy] Stunning.

-[Lydia] This is gorgeous.
-Love that on you.

[Christa] You're getting
a bit of the first one with...

-Yeah.
-[Christa] The fairy-tale, like...

-[Lydia Sr.] I love it.
-[William] If you can add the sleeves too...

Yeah, if I can add the sleeves,
perfect dress.

A two in one.

As your brother, it's really hard for me
to say this, but you look stunning.

-[Lydia] Aw!
-Oh, my God! [laughing]

I thought he was gonna say,
"Too much titty."

[Lydia Sr.] Oh!

-[Chelsea] That veil with it...
-[Tracy] I got chills.

-[Stacy] What is happening?
-Oh, sh*t. [laughing]

[Stacy] Oh, my God.
You're like a princess.

-That was the crown.
-[woman] So pretty.

[Lydia] Oh, my God, this is gorgeous.

-[Stacy] Oh, my God.
-[mouths] Wow.

Aw, Mom.

[Lydia exhales] Oh, wow.

[in Spanish] I love you.

I love you too.

Hermosa.

[in English] I never,
honestly, was sure that...

this day would happen.

I was not sure that I will walk
down the aisle one day to the altar.

[chuckles] I never imagined
to be this happy,

and, yeah, it feels amazing.

[Lydia Sr.] You deserve it.

[Renee] Yes. You do.

[sobbing] I didn't know
how bad I wanted it.

How bad I wanted to find my person.

These are happy tears,

because everything was worth it.

Every heartbreak,

every prayer,

every bending on my knees
and asking the universe, God for guidance

to point me in the right direction.

It was all worth it 'cause I'm here...

[chuckles] ...standing in a wedding dress.

[clerk] Think that's the one?

-[Lydia] Yes.
-The dreams come true.

And it is a dream come true.

[Izzy] I'm excited.

[Stacy] I can handle speed. I'm just like,
I don't need you to throw up on me.

-[Izzy] Oh, no, I'll be fine.
-Okay.

Gestures to Stacy
are very, very important.

Last night, Monday, so...

Refilled the flower vase, flower Mondays.

So I wrote her, you know, a little card.

[Stacy] Whoa.

[Izzy] And doing something,
you know, that small for her,

she was in the best mood last night.

[man] This is a B-25 Mitchell bomber.

-[Stacy] Cool.
-[man] Isn't that cool?

-Looks like a badass.
-It does.

[Izzy] I know kinda taking the initiative
is what she likes,

so I wanted to take the time to,
you know, make a special day for her.

With the wedding coming up, I kind of
wanted to give her a little sample

of what the rest of our life
is gonna look like.

[man] So, the ladders are down.
The airplane's all yours.

You guys go have a blast.

-Oh, my God.
-Yes!

Uh, I mean, is it safe
to ride in one of these?

[engine sputters]

'Cause I've gotta be somewhere
this Sunday. [laughing]

Yes, I've heard
from her family and friends, you know,

she loves to ride on private jets.

[Stacy] Oh, my God!

So, I just hop, skip,
and jump into this guy.

They're all like,
"Are you gonna be able to handle that?"

You know,
"Can you live up to the expectation?"

Stacy's father did tell me
that love is first-class,

so that's what I had
lined up for her today. [laughs]

-[imitates gulping]
-[both laughing]

Honestly, after fitting day,
I felt so relaxed.

We haven't had any meltdowns recently,
so maybe that's why we're both calm.

[laughs]

It never will get old to be able
to sit across from you like this.

I just find you very interesting.

There's never gonna be
a dull moment with you.

Whether it be bad
or whether it be amazing,

nothing's ever f*cking dull with you.

-Whoopsies.
-But yeah.

-Take it or leave it.
-I'm taking it, and I'm running with it.

-Thank you.
-Here you go.

Oh, I'm so excited.

Me too.

Hands down, I would not be sitting here

if it wasn't for you
being so calming to me.

And sometimes
you're not even saying anything.

You're just calming.

-[tranquil music playing]
-You're the calm in the storm, like, that...

that sounding ground of like...

I just, like, everything's a blur,
and it's like either a hug or a look,

or whatever it is
that you do in that moment.

Sometimes, it's just your energy.
It's very, like, balanced

and so mellow, and that's like...
that is my favorite thing about you.

And I never thought
I'd even fall in love again.

-Really?
-Mmm-hmm. Not any time soon.

You love love.

I felt like I was avoiding it.

I didn't think I was gonna...

be here...

with you today,

just to be getting married.

And then, boom!
You just surprised me like...

like always.

-I'm madly in love with you.
-[chuckling]

I'm crazy about you.

Well, I mean, we already have
kind of started integrating our families.

-I've had a blast around your family.
-Mmm-hmm.

I've felt so welcomed, and loved,
and I feel...

We've only hung out twice,
and I feel so close to them.

It's that and it's also what I tell them
about how I'm feeling about you.

It's really just how happy they see me,
and whatever comes with you,

they're gonna love.

-[laughs]
-It's been good. [laughs]

I noticed. I mean, being around
your family just makes me really miss...

-The whole idea of, like, family.
-Yeah.

It is a little weird for me

that, you know, like, a good chunk
of my family won't be there.

Um, I did it personally just because...

it's my special day.

Our special day.

And I don't want

any opinions or anything like that there,

that I'd be...

probably...

[hesitates] ...judged or like,
"What the f*ck?"

'Cause of, like, how this,

like, came about.

The people who are coming

are the people that mean the most to me,
that have been, you know,

the most genuine and supportive

even when I haven't been
the perfect person.

So...

I have my mom there.
Really all that matters.

-[Stacy] Your mom's amazing.
-Yeah.

On the flip side of that coin,
you have all of my crazy family...

I know.

...that adores you.

So no matter whatever happens
with your family,

my family is obsessed with you.
You're probably gonna get really annoyed

and wish they would go away
at points. [laughs]

I don't think I could ever
get annoyed with your family.

I love your family.

-And I can't wait to be a part of them.
-Yeah.

-I mean, f*ck it, I already am, so...
-[laughing]

I know. Why do they all
talk to you more than me?

[chuckles] Again, that's also why
I'm excited, 'cause, yes, I gain a wife,

and a lifelong partner,
but I also get a family.

So it's like a lot
of dreams come true for me.

-[Stacy] Mmm-hmm.
-Um...

what did Lydia think?

-Uh, she thought it was pretty intense.
-Intense?

I told her I thought
it went better than expected.

What did you expect?

I don't know. [sighs]

I think joining our family's difficult.

I think sometimes,
when I look at, like, our family dynamic

versus, let's say, some of my friends,
it's very different.

I'm not saying it's bad.
I'm saying it works for us really well.

Lydia speaks to her mom every single day.

Her sisters, every single day, they talk.

-Yeah.
-And I told them our dynamic is different.

-Very passionate people.
-Passionate? What do you mean?

Very, like, expressive.
Very, like, giving.

[chuckles] You said giving?
Are they like our family?

No.

We're passionate!

-They're a little more...
-And we give.

They're more... emotional.

-[laughs] We don't give emotion.
-I know.

So, how's wedding planning going?
You ready?

I think so.

What makes you so sure?

I guess the same thing that I'm sure
with any decision I ever make.

Just kind of rely on that gut feeling.

[tense music playing]

You're still my brother. I love you.

But, one, you're going into it,
and people think it's fake.

Two, you're two people

It just feels a little weird.

Even though you kind of
do things on your own,

for your major decisions,
we've been a part of that process.

You guys are part of the process,

but if it comes to me making a decision,

like, if Mom was like...
or if Dad was like, "No, mmm-mmm."

"This ain't gonna happen.
You're not gonna marry her."

We all know
I'd probably still do it anyway.

[tense music fades]

You collect all the data points you can

and then you make the best decision
you can with the information you have.

She sounds like a science project.

No, I just think
I'm more analytical in my thinking.

I mean, I also have, like, you know,
set standards that I was raised with

that I look for in, like, a wife.

I did like, you know,
her educational background.

I do like her career.
I do like how hardworking she is.

And then she has, like,
those other characteristics

that I know based on how I am
that I look for in, like, a spouse.

I definitely do like people
that are really compassionate,

very, like, expressive of their feelings.

So having someone that is more vulnerable
really helps me grow.

You're really taking your life
and merging it.

"I wanna be committed to this person."

"I want to sacrifice everything
for this person. I want to..."

You know, I mean, hell, just raising kids
with that person is just...

That's big. Like, have y'all talked
about your parenting styles?

I know you guys aren't interested
in having kids now,

but have you talked about parenting?

-Yeah.
-Cost of daycare is freaking expensive.

Also, merging the families.

You know, if something were to happen
and you have to move in

or take care of Mom and Dad,
is she okay with that? I don't know.

It's just...

Have y'all had all the conversations that...

They always say
marriage is like a business arrangement.

I definitely agree with you.

Like, marriage can be
like a business arrangement,

but I mean, I think,

I mean, based on the conversations
me and Lydia have,

like, we're both in it
for the same reason.

We're both interested in being married,
and we both love one another, so...

-You think she feels the same way?
-Yeah.

["For the Weekend" by GREYLEE playing]

[Izzy grunts] Watch. Okay.

[objects and keys rattle]

[sighs]

[Izzy] Lots of fun...

memories here. [exhales]

Obviously, we had a conversation.

Um, how do you feel about it?

[Stacy] Mmm-hmm.

I guess I feel like

I don't know if I can trust you.

[tense music playing]

[Izzy] With what exactly?

-[Stacy] With the credit card stuff.
-Mmm-hmm.

[Stacy] Because I've asked you
about that before.

I'm like, "Why wouldn't
he have said that before?"

And I'm like, you know I asked you that.
"Why don't you have any credit cards?"

"You can get points." And you're like,
"Oh, I used them in college,

and, you know,
I just got rid of them." Like, that.

Then in the pods,
talking about finances and debt.

"Anything I need to know?"
You're like, "Absolutely not."

I feel like that wasn't totally truthful.

Like, I tell you everything.

I would not

not tell you.

I wanted to lay everything out there
once we actually sat down

and talked versus...

Times it's kind of brought up,
it was just kind of, like, on a whim.

You know, if we were just like...

I don't know,
mucking around, cooking around.

In the pods, like, I didn't feel
like we were, like, sit down,

have the formal, like,
"let's throw it all out there" thing.

And for me,
I wanted to have this conversation

very formal
because I knew it was gonna be long.

So definitely
not hiding anything from you.

I wasn't trying to hide anything from you.

'Cause if that were the case, then
I would have tried to just bullshit it

and sweep it under the rug
as much as I possibly could,

and that's why I just wanted
to come to you and tell you that.

Like, I wouldn't hide it.

I feel like a lot of times you ramble
and maybe are skirting around

the actual answer of what I'm asking you.

[Izzy] Yeah, like, I do ramble on.

I sometimes don't make sense,
but that's something I have to work on,

but it's not like I'm trying
to b*at around the bush

or bullshit you.

It takes me a while to process things.

But I mean, like, with everything,
like, I would not...

I would not try to lie to you.

So I'm sorry that you feel that way.
That's not what I was trying to do.

But you, like, you lied about it.

What do you mean?

Like, the conversation
wasn't even about money

when I brought up the credit card thing.

Mmm-hmm.

And, like, you didn't say, you know,
"There's something I need to tell you."

"This is what's going on with me."

It... It wasn't that.

So now it's like, can I even trust
what you're telling me now about it?

[dramatic music continues]

Like, I would think that would be more
of an organic conversation.

Like, "Yeah, there's a story behind that."

If you know we're gonna get married,
you know I'm gonna find that out.

[softly] That scares me.

Well, I definitely did not try
to hide it from you.

That's why I did tell you.
Like, I wasn't trying to hide it.

I think there was
a lot of miscommunication.

I think just things
were taken the wrong way.

Not if you take... You took them
in a way that I didn't mean it.

You got upset.

You were very heated.

I want us both to feel reassured
that we're still gonna fight.

We are both scared.

I don't want to feel
like I'm walking on eggshells.

I'm doing my best
to tell you exactly how I feel,

and I know it doesn't make sense,

but it's just like, "You don't wanna
make her upset or say something

that might offend her,
and you didn't mean it that way."

That's just how I feel.

I don't know where that fear comes in.

Like, there are times
where what you say are gonna upset me,

or they're gonna make me mad.
That's why it's hard to do.

From the beginning, we've been like,

"It's hard to do, but we're gonna do it,
'cause we know that we'll get through it."

I feel like that was what we were doing
for the first part of all of this.

[clicks tongue] Again, it's not something
I was trying to lie about

because I would not have even told you.

Did it cross your mind in that moment
when we were at a gas station,

like, "Do you have a credit card?"

-No. Mmm-hmm.
-You say no.

And I ask why
it didn't cross your mind to tell me why?

Not in that moment, just because...

if we're gonna have a conversation
on the topic,

I'd rather sit down formally and have
a conversation. That's something huge.

That's how I wanted to have
that conversation as far as everything.

We threw it out there. Debts, all that.

And even now, like,
I'm not in debt, all the stuff is paid.

It's just... bad credit.

It wasn't a lot of money.

Like, in total,
I wanna say everything was like...

$3,500.

You know me.

Honestly, at this point, better than

anyone, probably, besides my mom.

-Hmm.
-You know every emotion... I'm feeling.

Just about every thought
that's, like, going through my head.

I fell in love with you because...

you... fought for me.

And I'm still...
I still keep falling in love with you.

That's why I feel sick to my stomach.

I want to know that you have my back.

I don't wanna lose you or us.

-[Stacy] It's gonna be okay.
-Oh, man. [sighs]

[Stacy exclaims]

[Izzy] I love you.

[Stacy] I love you too.

I feel like you smell.

I feel like... [sighs]

...we definitely should get you, um,

some deodorant.

[Stacy laughs]

[Lydia] Ooh, look at that.

-[Lydia] It is pretty.

-Oh, this is cute.
-Look, that's my favorite.

See the rhodochrosite?

[Lydia] Yeah.

This is really cute.

This is really cute.

[Milton] Isn't it super pretty here?
It's so relaxing.

It is relaxing, and it's gorgeous.

I think this is really romantic.

Remember our first date?

We did connect over geology.

Now I know it's just joking,

but you're like,
"You're gonna be my number first."

I'm not gonna admit it.

That's all I wrote on my journal.

It's bizarre that
we're here now, don't you think?

Yeah.

-How are you feeling about the wedding?
-I'm excited.

-[Lydia] You're excited?
-You nervous?

Hmm. Not really.

I don't feel like I'll get nervous
till, like, the day of.

I'm gonna get really nervous the day of.

-Thank you.
-[waiter speaks indistinctly]

[both] Thank you.

God, I need somewhere to put my gum.

[laughing]

Do you have, like,
a little receipt or something?

[Milton] Mmm.

[laughing]

Stick it back in my pocket,
and probably forget about it and wash it.

[Lydia laughs]

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

So, you never thought,
"How will you like your wife to be?"

I did, but, like...

-Things are different.
-How?

Like, in the pods,
like, you're not the exact same person.

What do you mean?

Sometimes you wake up
very cranky for no reason.

What do you mean?

You wake up very upset sometimes.

[chuckles] Because you have done something
to make me upset.

You just woke up 30 seconds ago.
What could I have done that fast?

There's a reason why I get upset.

If you don't wanna do something,
you don't do it.

Not true.

The other day, when I washed the dishes,
did not wanna do it.

Whenever I take out the trash,
when I make up the bed.

How long the dishes were there? How long?

-For how many days?
-About a day.

No.

-Day and a half?
-No.

-They were there for three days.
-No, that is cap.

That is not cap.

The food besides your bed table,
like, that was there for three days.

I don't even know it was by my bed.

Dude, it's right there.

You told me
that you were not a messy person.

-And that is exactly what I'm seeing.
-No, that is not true.

-Yes. You told me...
-I told you, like, I'm not organized.

All the time,
your freaking clothes are on the floor.

-All the single time.
-At least they're in the corner.

I try my best. I can try harder though.

If this is you trying your best,
then I'm concerned.

Dude, like, I don't wanna have
to keep repeating myself and be like,

"Clean the room. Please clean after you."

How many times I've told you this?

How often do I, like, take a shower,
go back, I'm like,

"Oh, I didn't hang up my towel.
I need to go back."

Every single time.

I just wanna see
that you really take me seriously.

I came to this experiment
to be loved by genuinely me.

And I do believe you love me.

I have no doubts in that concern.

I guess I'm at the point I'm like...

"Is he really gonna, like...

take it seriously,
and things that upset me,

he's gonna take into consideration?"

For you, it's silly about the clothes
and towels and all that stuff, things.

For me, that upsets me.

You don't think I like compromising
with you when I don't want to?

What do you mean?

Let's go back to the whole situation
that we talked about earlier.

When I told you I didn't like
the way you handled things,

and you felt like I was judging you.

Like, I don't feel like I can tell you,
like, honestly how I feel a lot,

because, like, you are so, like...
emotional.

Which isn't, like, a bad thing,
but it's like, I don't wanna feel like,

"Oh, my God,
Lydia's gonna take this the wrong way."

I have to really watch my words. You know?

You think because the people do things
differently, they're in the wrong.

I never told you you were in the wrong.
I never said...

You don't say it, but you act like it.

Lydia, I wasn't judging you. But, like...

Yeah, like, I didn't 100% like
the way you handled that situation.

At all. That's the truth.

Like, I hope
it doesn't hurt your feelings.

I'm not judging you.

I didn't like it.
I would have handled it differently.

[sniffs]

[pensive music playing]

Are you upset at me?

This is the first time that you said,

"I didn't like
the way you handled things."

-I'm sorry.
-[Lydia clears throat]

And that conveys to the...
"Oh, I prefer someone more levelheaded."

I'm so damn proud
of how I handled that situation,

'cause I was not gonna sit there

and let him speak
this bullshit that he was speaking.

-And then I just have to...
-Then leave. You could have left.

That's what I did. Twice.

See? You don't leave twice.
Like, when you leave, you're gone.

You were nowhere to be found.

If I ran into anybody in my past
and they started popping off,

and we had a situation,
dude, I don't do that.

I know it's not easy to, like, be able to,
like, control your emotions like I do.

Oh, my God, I hate that f*cking phrase.
I f*cking hate it.

It's like, "You don't
control your emotions, Lydia."

"You don't react the way that you do."

Like, what the hell?
Like, of course, it's gonna affect me.

I wasted so much of my precious time
on someone who did not deserve it.

-Who cares? Why are you looking back?
-Of course I was gonna be upset.

I'm sorry that
you don't have the emotions,

and you don't react the way the same I do.

You think I don't have emotions?

Hmm?

Instead of understanding
where I'm coming from,

you're like,
"Who cares? Why would you do that?"

And that's not being judged?

Lydia, if I was judging you
for that situation, I would have left.

I wouldn't be here
right now with you today.

But I should, like, be allowed to,
like, be honest with you.

You don't have to agree
with the terms that I...

-You just have to support me.
-Did I not support you?

You did, but now what I'm hearing is,
like, it's like having a finger down,

like, "You should have done better."

I'm not pointing a finger at you.

The same way you're getting on my ass
about, like, picking up my towel

when I get out of the shower,

I'm not like,
"Oh, my God, she's judging me."

I'm just like, "All right, cool."

I'm listening to you,
but I feel like you don't listen to me

when I, like, notice something.

It's like you automatically
go into defense.

[dark music playing]

[exhales] I know this is gonna be bad.

I don't listen to you?

No. You don't.

Not when I, like, give you, like,
encouragement about something.

Lydia, literally everything I do
is, like, look out for you.

It's a nice date. We're here.
Like, why do we have to argue?

We're not arguing.
We're having a disagreement.

There's a difference.

Okay, an argument or disagreement,
like, I hate having them.

-Like...
-Do you think I like them?

I don't know.

-[dramatic note plays]
-[scoffs]

Then you don't know me.

I know I don't always feel
super comfortable telling you

how I, like, feel about certain things.

You know, when people disrespect me,

I understand in life that, like,
you're gonna get disrespected,

and it's not really about,
like, protecting your "respect."

It's all about... the next steps after.

Somebody disrespects me, I show them
who the f*ck I am based on my actions.

Not on what I tell them.
Not how I yell at them.

Not about how emotional I get.

When you're acting emotional,
where does that get us? You know?

Where does that get you in life?

-If somebody disrespects me...
-This has gotten me where I am today.

It has gotten me where I am today.

All I'm saying is
we handle things very differently.

And that's okay.
We're two individual people.

-We have raised different.
-So what happens when we have kids?

I wanna teach my kids to, like, learn
that sh*t's gonna, like, be bad sometimes.

sh*t's gonna be rough,
but I don't want them

to ever give anyone that privilege of,
like, letting them know, like...

If we'd had that same situation
with my ex,

I just think
we handle things very differently.

That's all I'm gonna say.

Like when you wanna go
talk to her about some stuff?

Yeah, if I go talk to her,
I'm not gonna cuss her out.

I'm not gonna fight. I'm not gonna scream.

If she acts belligerent, I'll leave,
and I say, like, "Hey, I'm done."

-I don't, like, leave and then come...
-Did I cuss to Uche?

I did not cuss at him.

I don't cry or say, "You're an assh*le.
You're a piece of sh*t." Like...

I didn't say that to his face.

I was, like, trying to convey that to you

and explain how I was feeling
in that moment.

And by the way, he is.

Thank you for telling me
for the millionth time.

-[dark music playing]
-I'm not... I'm... No.

I am... Mmm.

I need a minute. I need a minute.

[dark music continues]

[Lydia sniffling]

[sniffling and stifling tears]

[Lydia sniffles]

[somber music playing]

[sniffles]

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

[sniffles and clears throat]

I'm sorry that I don't
abide by your expectations.

I would never put expectations on you.

It sounds like you did.

All I wanted to tell you is,
like, an example of, like,

a time that I didn't feel,
like, comfortable.

-Which is my own fault.
-Do you think that I felt comfortable?

Do you feel that I felt comfortable
being called a crazy stalker?

Of course not.

You're saying that you
didn't put an expectation on me,

but yet again you're pointing fingers

at how I handled
that particular situation.

Why does it even matter?

You went ahead
and did whatever you wanted to do.

And I'm sorry that I've done things
that you don't like.

But that's me.

This is me.

[downbeat music playing]

I feel a lot. I am loud.

I am passionate. I'm emotional.

God forbid, what my mind doesn't say,
my face is gonna say.

And I wanna stand by you

to support you in any decision
that you wanna do.

But I need you to understand me.

This is not how I thought
this night was gonna go.
