01x09 - Out of the Friendzone

[bunniefuu]

Being engaged at 23 and 24,

up north, like, Boston, people look at you

like you have five heads.

In the South, it's not--

-Not a big deal.

-Not uncommon.

We definitely want our own place.

We live at our parents' house, separated.

I don't like being away from her.

And getting a good jump start

with a house is important.

You want a wedding.

I want a house.

I've had literally everything

planned to a T since I was a little kid.

-Pretty young to think about weddings.

- Every girl's like that.

I don't know what goes on

inside a girl's head.

- Knock, knock.

- What's going on?

-Sneak peeks of our client.

-Ooh!

-Our appointment?

-Want to start with it?

-Sure.

-Emily and Braxton are coming.

- Oh, my. They're attractive.

-My goodness.

These young lovebirds

first met in high school.

Braxton was eternally stuck

in the "friend zone"…

Uh-oh.

…until Emily realized

that he was the one.

I have a PSA for all of you boys

out there in the friend zone.

To stay patient, and to stay kind.

But I promise if you're nice long enough,

and you don't quit,

you'll get out eventually.

I don't know when exactly,

like, the switch flipped,

but it was one of those moments

where I was like, he was always there,

always the one.

So, we've been engaged almost a year.

She's 23, and a personal trainer.

Really gettin' down

And you work it all around ♪

And he's 24,

and coaches basketball for a living.

We're living at our parents' home

to save money.

It's definitely weird to be engaged

and living at home with our parents.

It's really a big dream for me

to have one solid house that

me and Emily could start our family in.

So, a house is important.

Even though they're young,

both are ready to take the next big step.

I have dreamed of my wedding

since I was a kid.

From the time I was, like, probably ten.

That's pretty young

to be thinking about a wedding.

I come from a great,

traditional family.

My parents married young,

and had a big wedding,

so that feels right to me.

They're overwhelmed

with options before them,

so they've come to us.

We're super blessed.

Our parents are combining giving us

$30,000 for either a house or a wedding.

I've had a dream of having a wedding

since I was literally a child.

But using that 30K to get a home

and also start our life is, like,

very financially smart.

Ooh! Here we go.

-Sarah.

-How are you?

Emily, nice to meet you.

-Hi, guys, I'm Nichole.

-Braxton.

-Great to meet you.

-Emily.

It's a dilemma, that's why we're here.

Either we buy a house

and postpone the wedding,

or have a wedding

and live with parents.

-Your ring's beautiful.

-Yes, thank you.

- Great job.

- It's stunning.

-I love how she's like, "Ah!" I get it.

You guys are desperate

to live on your own.

That's it. Not that I don't like living

with my mom and stepdad, but it's…

I'm 24 years old, so it's--

Yeah, so I'm super excited

to show you places.

-Yeah.

-So, let's go over some of these details.

The budget is 400-450.

How are you guys affording that?

My dad's playing a huge part in it.

So we've been pre-approved for 450,000

with 6% down.

-Fantastic.

-Yeah.

-You guys are so lucky.

-Yeah, it's a blessing.

Our parents are contributing to either

the house or the wedding with the $30,000.

Okay.

Two beds, two baths.

Athlete's steam shower.

The shower's huge.

I do want a shower

designed by God himself.

The shower is the most important place

in the bedroom for me.

I spend about 45 minutes in the shower.

I can think, and I stretch, get prepared

for my workouts in the shower--

He drinks protein shakes

in the shower.

-Like, it's serious stuff.

-Yeah.

The water pressure's important.

Like a deep-tissue massage

when you shower.

Like a fire hose.

Oh, wow.

Everything else I'm cool with,

but the shower has to be on point.

Okay.

All right. What are your wants

and needs in a house?

I would say the kitchen, living area.

We love to have family and friends over.

We're entertainers.

We do game night, movie night.

That's probably

the most important to me.

-Roger that. Okay.

- "Roger that."

So, with parents helping,

do they have to have a big say

in what you guys choose?

My mom was a real estate agent in Arizona

mostly for professional athletes.

So I am currently studying

for my real estate exam now.

If I had go-go Gadget arms,

I'd hug you right now.

This is all amazing.

So, house clearly is really important

to you guys, it's in the family blood.

Definitely.

We're torn 'cause a wedding,

to me, is super important.

Let's talk weddings.

I've heard enough about houses.

So, we've got your wedding budget

at $30,000, with 180 to 200 guests.

-Undetermined venue.

-Yes.

Theme is a Southern barn-style wedding.

- Our Southern roots.

- Simple, but beautiful.

What else is included in this budget?

So, we want a cake

for pictures of cutting the cake,

-things like that.

-Instagram.

But we're not gonna eat the cake,

I don't think.

How fun is that?

-I won't. It's for show.

-So I can do something fun.

Okay, good.

There's gotta be something

that stands out.

A "wow" factor.

It's about the unique,

standout details. Let me do research.

What about rings?

You have a beautiful thing

already on her finger.

Right? Yeah.

Thought about that?

We've not done much thinking

on my ring at all.

-Yeah.

-Okay.

Rings are important because

they symbolize our union before God.

This is, like, gonna be a one-time thing

between me and Emily.

Divorce is not an option for us.

So, a wedding is super important.

I am gonna give you something

people want to take pictures in front of,

something Instagram-worthy.

-I can have fun with this.

-I'm confident.

I will show you a shower somewhat like

the one you're talking about.

-Good luck.

-Might be in a professional gym, but--

-Yeah.

I love their vibe together,

I love that they're super competitive

and very sarcastic with each other,

'cause that's how I am with Emily.

So, I'm super excited.

We're definitely ready.

Like, it's time to take the next step.

With their help.

-We gotta make a decision.

-We do.

Bye, guys.

-Are you taking a grab?

-I need a cold glass of water.

Maybe something

stiffer than that.

-Abso-- You…

Move faster, move farther

Try and catch me if you can ♪

- We're super excited.

-Yeah, we are. This is

our first time ever touring houses.

-Aw.

-Yeah. We look online all the time.

Right. I don't want to give too much away,

but I think you guys are gonna love

what I have come up with.

Show 'em what you got ♪

So, right now Emily and Braxton

are living at their parents' homes,

so you know that they are itching

-to get a house together.

-Mmm.

I've done my homework

and we'll look at three properties.

All are within their budget of $450,000,

all have plenty of space for entertaining,

and all have good-sized master baths.

-Your first house ever!

- Ooh!

-I love this.

- Yeah.

So, this is a really nice-size house.

It's three beds, two and a half bath,

it's priced at 435,

which is under the budget,

and it checks all the boxes

off of your wishlist.

-What do you think about the kitchen?

-I like the gray in here.

-I do like the open window.

-Yeah.

-These are larger than average windows.

-Yeah.

Oh.

- The master bedroom, right?

- Yeah.

- Nice.

- Okay.

I really do like the windows.

-I'm huge with windows.

- She is.

I'm big on space,

-and it is pretty spacious.

-Mmm-hmm.

- Now we're talking.

-Yeah. The shower is updated.

Wow. It's got two shower heads.

There's light right there to come in.

I like natural light.

-Right.

-Yeah.

-I mean, this is good.

-Okay.

But I wouldn't be able to lay down

or put a bench in there.

Yeah, the shower is a little small for me.

I can't really get my stretches.

- Do you have any say-so?

-I shower like a normal person.

I don't need 45 minutes

in the shower. But you do.

I'm sensing Emily and Braxton

don't love this house,

but I'm gonna have to show them

how fun a house can be

that has a great backyard

and a trampoline.

Would Sarah get her little,

scrawny butt out here doing this?

"Little, scrawny--" I have no idea, but…

-I don't know, but I have to video this.

-I'm scared… Yeah.

-This is--

-This'll be Instagrammable!

-Well, this is for more liability issues.

Oh, no. What is she doing?

Hang on, let me warm up.

Oh, my goodness, she's full go!

-Oh, my!

-I hope I don't pee on myself!

Oh… If today didn't prove to them

the lengths I will go

to get them in a house…

- What is she doing? Oh!

- Oh!

…I swear, nothing will.

-What in the world?

- I'm barely in one piece today.

I'm just thankful you're here,

to be honest with you.

-Ta-da!

-Very impressive.

-I'm impressed.

Record player's spinnin' '90s

Knock your head right round ♪

You may know houses,

but I know the way to people's hearts.

I'll show them

some amazing wedding activities

to get them to choose me.

Are you guys excited about today?

-Yeah.

-Very excited.

Good.

Emily and Braxton have $30,000 to spend

on a Southern barn-style wedding

with a color scheme of whites and greens.

Big-ticket items like the venue,

catering, drinks, and attire

will eat up the bulk of their budget,

so I only have about $5,000 to play with.

I'm gonna have to guide them

to make smart choices.

-You ready?

- Yeah.

- Head on up this way.

- Whoo!

-Oh, my gosh.

-Oh!

- Ooh!

- Recognize these two?

Wow.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-Good.

-Great to see you. Thanks for having us.

-Yeah.

-Nice to meet you.

You want the whole wedding

-to be memorable, right?

-Yeah.

So, this is something

that's really popular in weddings,

it's something that

you can completely customize.

It can serve as a focal point,

as a bar, and guests can drink from it.

Is this something that you think is

your style, or that you would incorporate?

It could possibly be.

I don't really know, I was--

I see that face, like, "eh."

Everything about our wedding, I want it

to be a wow factor and I want it to trend.

But I have never thought about

having an ice sculpture at a wedding.

- It's definitely a little weird.

Show them how to drink from this.

So, you can have a luge,

or you pop in a funnel.

We can add a tube in.

Or you could do it private party style,

you put your luscious lips to the ice.

If it's martini style, we run a tube

into it, and it drops into a glass.

Wanna hold that and

we'll show them what we can do? Okay.

Again, maybe strawberry daiquiri,

something fun, already mixed,

this could turn into a specialty drink

for your guests,

-poured through your soul.

I'm just kidding.

Let's see if I can pour this

without spilling it.

Damn glasses are too big.

Braxton, go put your luscious lips

under this thing.

Go do it.

-Come on!

- Where's it come out?

- Here.

-Out her backside.

-Okay, ready?

- I can't get there.

- Oh, my God.

- There.

I'm gonna pour it fast,

here it comes.

-Here it comes.

It went from my back

-out my heart, to your butt.

-To my butt.

I would never in a million years

want to see guests at our wedding

standing by an ice sculpture

-with a luge coming from my butt.

So, I always

try to bring my A game.

But my A game turned

into a Z game really quick.

It was more like a B game

from the backside,

-and that's just as bad as a Z game.

Oh, I so have this!

They're so buying a house!

Let's talk a little about price.

On the lower budget,

about $350 for a block,

something similar to this.

And on the higher budget, if we want

to go bigger, about $1,200.

You could do something

more simple like this.

-We'd have to change the hashtag a bit.

-Why, whatcha thinkin'?

"Emily and Braxton's" a little basic.

There's so many options,

we could get there.

Right. Yeah.

We're gonna head out.

Wanna another shot?

-What? No, I'm all right.

Before we disembark,

I just want to let you know,

it won't be your aesthetic,

so keep an open mind.

-I will have an open mind.

-I appreciate that.

Nichole reminds me of my mom.

Not in like a, "She's old" way,

because, Mom, you're not old,

but she just has

a very motherly vibe to her.

Let's do it, kids.

Okay.

Nice tall ceilings,

a beautiful fireplace.

This house is priced at $399,000.

It's a three-bedroom, two-bath,

it's 2,000 square feet,

and it was built in 1986.

It's big. It's, uh…

something.

-This house has a 1800 vibe.

It's not the house, it's the decor that

I think you are letting sway you guys.

What is that?

That's a credenza.

A desk, actually, An antique desk.

- There's a fossil on it.

-Stop.

That where Ben Franklin did his thing?

- I think this exact one. Yeah.

-I can see that.

- Huge kitchen.

- Massive.

It is huge.

What is that… smell?

What's it smell like to you?

Uh…

Like a grandma.

-Yeah, that's a fair assumption.

Nothing a candle can't fix.

-Bedroom one.

-Holy…

-What?

What is that?

Why do all these rooms

have smells in here?

That house smells like a funeral home.

She missed the mark.

She did. But it happens.

You know, Sarah had her butt luge.

-Everybody makes mistakes.

-Right.

We all make mistakes, we're not perfect.

-Bathroom's big.

-Yeah, bathroom's nice.

Separate sinks,

we wouldn't have to share.

-That's nice.

-Right.

This is a full squat to get down here.

This is short, everything's short here.

The shower is…

Oh, no.

- Bad?

- Thin water.

How do I get loose

when my muscles are sore

with thin water that barely hits my skin?

-Out.

- Okay.

-So, that was a miss.

But a lot of times

when you're looking at houses,

you learn more

of what your clients don't want

than what they do.

I chalk it up to a "don't want,"

and we move on.

That's life right there.

Be positive about it.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

So, we are gonna take you to go eat

some sweet, delicious bites of heaven

at Five Daughters Bakery.

-Yeah! Yeah.

-Oh! I've been hearing about this place.

Come in.

- Thank you! Oh, my goodness.

-Oh, my gosh.

-Hello, welcome to Five Daughters.

- How are you?

Hello. Hey, I'm Braxton.

-Hi, Braxton, Stephanie.

-Nice to meet you.

-Emily. Nice to meet you.

-Pleasure to meet you guys.

Well, I brought them here today because

they don't want no ordinary cake.

You want something unique

your guests will love.

So how about a giant donut wall?

Cool, isn't it?

-It's awesome.

-Amazing.

-Can he dig in real quick?

-Take your time.

So… donuts in lieu of a cake?

Yes. Non-traditional desserts

for a wedding are a thing now.

I mean, from donut walls to cupcakes to,

you know,

maybe like an ice cream bar,

they're super in.

A lovely Jell-O mold, perhaps.

-How old are you?

It's non-traditional.

I'm speechless.

-For once.

- I love glazed donuts.

- Dig in.

- That's our classic vanilla cream.

-Mmm!

- So good.

-That bacon?

Yeah, want some?

-That one's so good.

I love s'mores.

-This'll be your cheat day for months.

- It is.

I love sugar,

and so I love the taste of donuts.

Then after, my body's like,

"Hn, I hate you for that."

Is this something you guys

could visualize at your wedding?

-Yeah, so fun.

-Amazing.

Let's talk about budget.

For 100 donuts with the wall,

-it's $1,600.

-Okay.

If we took the wall away and just did

about 100 mini donuts

displayed on a table,

very pretty,

you're looking more around 700.

We'd definitely want the wall.

It's much more intriguing

to go grab a donut off a wall

-than it is to grab one off the table.

-People would have fun taking pictures.

A donut photo booth.

You're starting a trend.

Wanna get a picture? Ready?

All right. Here we go.

-Ooh!

-Isn't it cute?

- It is.

- Yes.

-So cute.

-It's open, I like that.

-I do, too.

-Yeah.

So, this house

is just under $410,000.

It's three beds, two and a half baths,

built in 1992,

and it has been completely rehabbed.

-It's a really good starter home.

- Ah!

I like these hardwood floors a lot.

- Beautiful updated kitchen.

- So nice.

We're big kitchen people,

spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

-When you entertain, it's where people go.

- Right?

- It's amazing.

- Open. Light coming in.

Lot of space.

I really like this. Like, I can definitely

see me, you, future kiddo, future kiddo.

Just being that dad that,

you know, I always wanted to be.

I can see 'em

running out there playing, like…

Our little boy.

- Definitely.

-Must be a boy, huh?

-No, I don't… It doesn't matter.

-Yeah.

-But, yeah, I want to be a young dad.

- Aw.

-Oh, wow.

-The master bedroom.

I love this.

Nice space.

So much space.

I love the windows.

-The moment of truth.

- Your master bath.

Ooh!

- Your shower.

- There's a bench.

You like to meditate in the shower.

That's right.

I took the liberty

of kind of setting this up.

Okay, sweet bench.

- He's lying down.

Enough space for you to stretch?

-Yep. We're good here.

-Do your calisthenics?

What's my other stretch?

We gotta get my hip.

We got some space, we're good.

Just have to check the water pressure.

All right.

-That's pretty great.

-Is it great or is it fire, Braxton?

No, it's… It's fire.

-It's fire.

-Yeah, it's fire.

-This is the entertainer's dream.

- Wow.

-It's perfect for entertaining.

-Foosball.

Family's important to you guys,

to host.

Family, friends, game nights.

I'll definitely play Fortnite.

It's a battle royale.

Last person standing wins.

Then you have, like, a whole bunch

of dances in there when you k*ll people.

Or when you k*ll somebody

and you're kind of calling them a loser,

which, I don't condone,

we shouldn't do that, but then you do the…

-Oh, my gosh.

- Yeah.

-I am so doing that to Sarah.

-Yeah.

Definitely do that.

-All right, so, a cowboy stance.

- That's it.

- Right. "L" on the head.

-"L"…

-That's it. Perfect.

- There you go.

-You got it.

-Look what I can do.

Oh, wow, it is huge.

- Massive room, isn't it?

-Yeah.

Aw.

Look at this.

Wow.

- This is cute as can be.

- Really cute.

That is the cutest little girl's fan

I've ever seen.

It is.

-It is. For little Layla Grace.

- Layla Grace.

Is that the name you've chosen?

-Yeah.

-That's beautiful.

Yeah, for our little girl.

-Do you have a boy's name?

-Yeah. Braxton Lee Bonds, Jr.

It's definitely a big dream for me

to have one solid house that

me and Emily could start our family in,

because growing up, I didn't have, like,

a father in the home.

I don't know how my mom

raised me and my brother by herself.

Looks like you're in the nursery,

rocking a little babes.

-See me rock the baby?

-Yeah.

We moved constantly, all the time,

so a house is important.

Yeah, I can 100% see

our little sweet girl in here.

- Good light.

-Very good lighting.

This, uh… super short.

Why is this so low?

- It's a guest bath.

-I'm taller than this on my knees.

Check out

this gorgeous backyard.

-Oh, wow.

-Ooh.

-A nice little deck.

-I love this.

-Now we're talking.

-You can grill everything.

-Right. Everything.

-Yeah.

So, the backyard is partially fenced.

You'd have to finish the fencing

on the left side of the house.

Gotcha.

This yard slaps.

Just being able to picture our kids

and him in the backyard, like,

throwing a football or playing baseball…

It makes it completely real.

I just saw us having 17 dogs back there

and all of our kids just running around

and playing sports

just like me and my brother did.

Come on this way. You know where you are.

- Yeah.

- We do.

Hello?

- Oh, my God.

-Hi.

-Hello.

-How are you guys doing?

Good.

-I'm Maira, welcome.

-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

-Braxton.

You haven't thought much

about a wedding band

and Emily still needs hers, so, I thought,

-wedding band shopping.

-Yeah.

Cool?

-Yeah.

-Awesome.

To find something important

you'll wear the rest of your life.

-Right?

-Right. Yeah.

So, our wedding bands

are in this area.

You can just look around

and see if anything catches your eye,

and we can go from there.

You can try them on.

We haven't thought about

wedding bands yet, so I'm super excited.

When we exchange rings and vows

in front of all of our family and friends,

it's gonna solidify that

our commitment to each other is forever.

These are the tungsten bands,

so they're about $100 apiece.

-Too small for me.

- Too thin. You like gold.

- Now we're talking.

-Oh, here we go.

Kinda fire, huh?

- Looks good on you. Really nice.

- Doesn't it?

So, that one is 14-karat white gold,

and it has two karats of diamonds in it.

Really nice.

This one with the diamonds is how much?

Forty-eight hundred.

-Hey-oh.

Whoo!

-Sweet talk those diamonds.

-Yeah. Please, babe.

And what about you?

Overall, I like the simple bands.

Let's talk metal,

'cause there's so many different kinds.

I know she won't like anything gold.

He knows me well.

Yeah, I kind of like the size of these.

You like the two, but the bigger diamonds?

Yeah.

Try this one.

Yeah, for sure.

This one was…

That one's $1,900.

That would be $6,700

of your budget.

I only have $5,000 to play around with,

so that's already over.

-What are you thinking?

- I don't need a fancy ring.

It's more important

that Emily gets what she wants.

So, at this point in the ceremony,

this is where your vows and stuff come.

I think it's very important

for Emily and Braxton

to say their wedding vows

right now to each other,

because the more they express

their love and these feelings,

the more real a wedding is to them.

I'm gonna give you some privacy.

Ooh.

I honor my mama.

You know how much I love her,

and how well of a job she did on her own

raising me and my brother.

Growing up, I knew it was tough for her

not having my dad around and…

it left us with some things I wouldn't

want any kid to have to grow up with.

I will always keep that vow,

that our kids will always have both of us.

Baby girl…

Take your time, baby.

It's okay.

It's okay, sweetie.

Baby girl, I knew that there was just

always something missing in my life…

until I found you.

I love you.

I'm not going anywhere.

It's so special,

and it really needs to be.

-You're so cute.

This is why wedding planning

is the best job in the world,

and why Emily and Braxton

need to have a wedding.

So they can say their vows

in front of their friends and family

and start a strong foundation of marriage.

Well, yes, they can do that,

but they can do that years from now

after they've purchased a home

-and save up money again.

-Hopefully we'll be back. I will be.

-I'll be here.

-All right, see ya.

-All right. Thanks, guys.

Such a fun day.

I have homework to do, maybe

pull some more tricks out of my sleeve.

I'm feeling good.

I mean, they laughed at the donut wall,

they cried at the rings, which is

pretty amazing, but at the end of the day,

with the food and the venue cost,

they're gonna be over budget.

So, I'll have to crunch some numbers.

What about you?

Well, they loved the house

with the great shower,

but they didn't love the guest bath.

They've got a pretty healthy budget,

but a super-extensive wish list.

-So, we'll see.

-Mmm-hmm.

Keep it easy

Keep it breezy ♪

Keep it light 'cause it's all right ♪

Hello.

-How are you?

-You're gorgeous.

Good, how are you?

Good to see you.

-Hey, handsome.

-Hello, Miss Nichole.

How's everybody feeling?

Good. Excited. Nervous.

Oh, my gosh.

-What is happening?

Are you on the same page

about marriage or mortgage, too?

Mmm-mmm. No, ma'am.

We're torn.

No way!

-Yeah, we are.

- Like, truly 50/50?

-Still?

- Truly. We had so much fun.

-We've been talking about your backflips.

-Oh. We applaud you for never giving up.

Perseverance is

a beautiful characteristic to have.

Thanks.

-I can't believe she didn't break a bone.

- Right?

- Ready for--

-The nitty gritty?

-Yeah.

-Down to business.

Our day was so much fun.

Coming into this,

I only had $5,000 to play with,

since most of your $30,000 budget

is going towards big ticket items

like venue and decor.

-Mmm-hmm.

-Yes.

And I really want

to provide this amazing wedding.

If you choose wedding,

I can do a couple things for you.

I know how important

that donut wall was to you.

Not just for the donuts…

- But those, too.

But for the epic moment

your guests will talk about.

- Yes. It was epic.

- Right? But that was $1,600.

I spoke with the owners of Five Daughters.

They would love to throw in…

the donut wall backdrop for you both,

as a wedding gift, for free.

That's amazing.

-That's awesome.

- Yeah. That's a savings of $900.

Everybody at the wedding's

gonna be sugar high.

Right?

So sweet of them.

-That's amazing.

-But that's not it.

- You got more?

-We got more.

Honestly, my favorite part of the day?

The wedding band shopping.

Same.

Seeing you emotional

when you were practicing your vows

was really touching.

- It was.

-I spoke with Maira.

She's going to give you your wedding bands

at 50% off.

Wow.

Braxton, now you can have

your diamond ring, too.

-Get your diamonds.

-I get my diamonds?

-Good!

You see that? Is that slap-worthy?

-Not how you say it.

- I'll slap her. Can I, please?

I might slap you. Don't.

With all that said, including

items like food, venue, attire,

-you did start off at a $30,000 budget.

-Yes.

We're now at $29,650. You're under.

-That's amazing.

-That's $350 under.

-Yeah.

- You get your dream wedding.

-That's everything that we wanted.

- Perfect day.

How are you feeling?

Like a million damn dollars.

Okay, that's good.

-Well, guys, we had a big day, too.

- We did.

So, you picked the house with the shower.

God himself

did design that shower.

The water pressure, on point. Right.

- Right.

- That house, while amazing

-wasn't perfect.

- Yeah. Mmm-mmm.

I've talked to contractors.

One of them with whom I do

a lot of business would come in

and rip out those dated vanities

and put in new ones you pick out,

at no cost, as a favor to me.

-That's amazing. Yeah.

-That's awesome.

Did you imagine you would be

moving out of your parents' homes

-into this fabulous house?

Obviously, I want you all to be married.

I just think that

this is an opportunity for you to have

that chunk of change put down on a home.

-Yeah.

-That's why I think it's important.

Yeah.

- We have a lot to think about.

-Yes.

-Right.

-We'll give you guys a minute.

The whole idea of a wedding, it's--

-Start that strong foundation, and…

-Right.

I love that.

It meant so much to me when

I put that wedding ring on your finger,

because I want everybody to know

how much I love you.

Right.

You could've told him

he won a million dollars,

and nothing would've excited him

more than the donut wall.

Or the diamond rings.

-You'd have me at diamond rings.

-I know I would.

I don't know.

-Showed a great house.

-I did.

-And him mom is a real estate agent.

-Mmm-hmm.

The house might be important

at this part of his life.

You never know.

In that house, when we were sitting there

at that kitchen table, I really envisioned

me and you, our future kids,

and our dog playing out in the backyard.

I think it'd be an inspiration to people

that even being as young as we are,

-we were able to purchase our first home.

-Yeah.

- Hello.

-How are you?

-Good.

-Hey.

Have the pretty people made up their mind?

I think so.

Yeah?

-We both--

-Wanted to start by thanking you both.

It has been such a blessing

and an honor for us.

-The honor has been ours…

-Yes.

…to meet such a young, amazing couple.

Sarah, you taught us that love and unity

is something to be cherished,

and something

that's so important to express.

Nichole, you taught us

even when we get older,

we can still do backflips

on the trampoline.

But you also taught us how important

a real estate investment truly is,

and that's a good start to our lives.

Yeah.

With that being said…

We're gonna choose the wedding.

Congrats.

-Yes.

-So excited!

We are excited.

That's awesome.

Sarah got us literally everything

that she showed us.

Everything we wanted, she made it

reasonable for our budget.

I didn't have that firm foundation

growing up, and now I found Emily.

So we're ready to make our union official,

have a beautiful wedding with family

and friends, and then start a family.

- Congrats.

- Thanks.

You guys'll be gorgeous on the big day.

We'll be in our parents' house

-for a bit longer.

-We'll make it out of there someday.

-We'll make it out someday.

Willing to help when you're ready.

-Thank you.

- Absolutely excited.

-Yay, cheers to weddings, that's awesome.

- Cheers.

The reception is beautiful.

Everybody is loving the donut wall.

The donut wall is fire.

Sarah absolutely k*lled it.

I like the ice sculpture. Duane
