01x07 - Race to the Altar

[bunniefuu]

Back into your downward dog.

Rush.

You guys know

I have been talking with Georgi
for a while now.

I think I'm gonna ask
if he wants to come visit.

You're not getting married
or anything.

Dad.

Let me be happy for a second.

Would you like to come
to Connecticut?

I would love for you to be here.

I just feel like I need you.

Stacey: While moving out
of our Airbnb today,

I saw a video online
with Florian...

Sitting on the bed...

In the room with the same girl
that posted those pictures.

What were you doing in her room
in her bed,

And I want to know
is there any more?

Oh, now you're gonna sit here
and act all innocent,

Like you didn't do
anything wrong.

Stop acting all innocent,
Florian.

Is there anything else
I need to know?

Darcey: I want to know

After the last two weeks,

I've literally been
in a complete lockdown.

♪♪

Schools shut down.

My daughters are now
at home school,

And their way of life
is totally different.

We have our safe haven,
which is our dad's house.

It's a work in progress.

To have life change like this
is really scary.

I'm worried about so much...
My family, my kids getting sick.

Even the Stacey and Florian
stuff kind of sucks.

Last week,
I had it out with Shanti.

I don't feel like I got 100%

The answers
that I was looking for,

And I don't know
if I believe her 100%.

So I feel like I do not need
to tell my sister or Florian.

Stacey has so much going on.

She has so much to deal with.

I just want her
to focus on that.

♪♪

It's been a whirlwind.

You know, we're having to
deal with a pandemic,

And the first place we stayed,
couldn't stay there too long

Because the owner
had to go into lockdown.

And I had to find
a place for us fast,

So I got us a hotel suite.

We're having to find
a permanent place to live,

So it's been
kind of a rough week,

You know,
dealing with quarantine

And also dealing with
the trust issues with Florian.

But, you know,
we talked about it,

And we're ready to move forward
with our life.

And everything feels like
it's in limbo right now,

And we still have to get married

Before the k-1 visa expires.

♪♪

Darcey:
Since lockdown has been issued,

Georgi and I have been talking
every day and every night.

Our relationship
really progressed

Over the last few weeks.

We've been talking about
the future together.

Mm.

Suitcase.

He lives in D.C.

He has no family here.

They're all in Bulgaria,

So we've come to the decision
of moving in together.

I've decided to get an apartment
for a few months

During this time to see
how the relationship goes.

Um...

I am taking things from my room
to make it feel more like home.

Need some light.

So definitely
bringing a lot of the sparkle.

It is going to look crazy
that we're moving in together

After just a couple of dates,

But if we're willing to do it,
let's do it.

Everybody is okay with it...

My daughters, my dad,
Georgi included...

Then let's see.

I don't know what to do.
What do you want to do?

Eat food. [ chuckles ]

All I've been doing
is sleeping and eating.

Whatever.

I want to talk to you guys

About something
really important.

We're getting our own rooms.

Not yet, but as you know,

Georgi and I
have been planning on him

Coming up to Connecticut.

And I want to make sure

That you guys are still
comfortable and okay with it.

Do you think
this is a good idea?

Like, you always said

It was a good idea
to make these steps

With last two relationships,
but look how that turned out.

Yes.

I feel like this is a true test,

And it'll help me know
if he's the right one or not.

This time around,
I don't want to waste that time.

If something doesn't feel right,

Then, you know,
we can go our separate ways.

Yeah, and it's just, like,

I don't want
to see you hurt again.

Like, the last few times
made me so upset.

I feel like my mom loves him,

But she's also
the kind of person

That falls in love very easily.

Young woman: I mean, but also,

They only met a couple of times.

Yeah.

Like, she saw a future

With these two relationships
that she had in the past.

Those experiences, like,
weren't good for any of us,

And, like, that's why I'm, like,
super cautious now,

Just so we don't
have to go through

All of that drama again.

What do you, like,
to see with him?

Because, like, it's like are you
living in the moment right now?

Are you thinking of the future?

No, I'm thinking for the future.

I think we're both thinking
for the future.

When you're in a relationship,

You expect to be treated well.

The last two, like,
they didn't even, like...

Make an effort.

Yeah, it was, like,
maybe like an afterthought.

Sucks.

♪♪

It makes me sad
that my daughters worry about me

Getting hurt again
in a relationship

Because I don't want them hurt.

I just want them to know that...

I deserve better and so do they.

So are you okay with grandpa
watching you guys?

Yeah.

I want to just be assured

And know that you guys are okay.

Okay.

Thank you, dad.

Mike:
What do I know about Georgi?

Nothing. Literally nothing.

I heard he's a good-looking,
strong guy,

But that's not that important.

But good for her.

I just want her to be happy.

Other than that, I'm excited
to bond with my grandkids.

Grandpa, I can do your nails.

Oh! I can do your nails.

Give him a pedicure. Thank you.

Stacey: Ultimately,
our dream wedding

Would be in a castle in Italy,

Surrounded by your family,

But obviously,
we're in a pandemic in lockdown,

And, you know,
the courthouses are closing.

So Florian and I decided
that we're going to

Move the wedding date up

We chose the date,
for 4/20/20, and...

It's the date for us.

We both agreed on it,

We're ready to get married

Ready?

You know, although it's not...

How I dreamed it to be,

It's just I'm ready to do it

There's no need
to wait any longer.

I mean, yeah, that's not
how I wanted it to be.

I really wanted everybody
to be there

And be able to celebrate
the way we dreamed of, but...

I feel like just...

It's better
just to keep it to ourselves

And just get married and...

Tell them later.

We don't need people
in our ears trying to say

It's not the right time

Or, "why did you
do it like this?"

Stacey: Florian and I will
work through our trust issues,

And I just feel like...

Just don't need to hear...

The negative comments

Or just people
trying to sway our decision.

I just feel like
it's for us to work out

And it's our relationship.

You know, it's nobody's business
but our own.

Florian and I love each other,
and we're fighting for our love

And we want to be together.

to tell us otherwise.

Maybe they're going to be upset,
