00:00:00Oh my gosh, it's such a dream up here.
00:00:05Honey, what more can you ask for?
00:00:06Just thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
00:00:08Gorgeous.
00:00:09You're welcome.
00:00:10What a way to start the day.
00:00:11I am really excited.
00:00:12Mm-hmm.
00:00:13What was that?
00:00:14You want a kiss or what?
00:00:15Love you.
00:00:16Love you.
00:00:17Love you.
00:00:18Love you.
00:00:19Finally got my fiancée to Frimrose Hill, enjoying the views, enjoying the company.
00:00:42Life is good.
00:00:43I'm pretty nervous about today.
00:00:53Maybe it's because my world coming into yours, in a way.
00:00:57Colliding.
00:00:58Yeah.
00:00:59Yeah.
00:01:00What about you, how are you feeling?
00:01:01I don't know.
00:01:02I started off in the morning saying, letting go of the outcome, and I'm like back to square
00:01:07one of like...
00:01:08Of like, uh-oh.
00:01:09Yeah, I don't know.
00:01:10Yeah, a bit nervous.
00:01:11Yeah.
00:01:12I mean, a bit is an understatement, if I'm honest.
00:01:13Oh, really?
00:01:14You know when you're so nervous that you're kind of almost like, just...
00:01:17A bit sick?
00:01:18Yeah.
00:01:19I think it's more the unknown of how it's going to go, you know?
00:01:22Yeah.
00:01:23It was difficult leaving the pods, because I lost, obviously, you.
00:01:28So I went to Germany.
00:01:31I think it was tough for my mum and sister to see me like that.
00:01:33I was pretty upset.
00:01:34You know, it was a really tough, tough few days.
00:01:42And they may bring that up.
00:01:45I've never felt more nervous about meeting a person's family and relatives.
00:01:53I hurt them.
00:01:55So I'm expecting a grilling about Sam.
00:01:57Are you ready?
00:01:58No, I'm not ready, actually.
00:01:59Ready?
00:02:00Do you want to...
00:02:01Yeah?
00:02:02I know he values his mum's opinion.
00:02:04I know he values his sister's opinion.
00:02:06Hello.
00:02:07Hello.
00:02:08Obviously, they care.
00:02:09They're coming from a protective place.
00:02:10I feel like, personally, it's a make or break.
00:02:12Hello.
00:02:13Hello.
00:02:14How are you?
00:02:15The gate is here.
00:02:16Nicole, meet mum and sister.
00:02:17Nice to meet you guys.
00:02:18Nice to meet you.
00:02:19They have names.
00:02:20Gabby and Eliza.
00:02:21OK.
00:02:22Eliza, Gabby.
00:02:23Here we go.
00:02:24Would you like to take a seat?
00:02:25Get started on this feast.
00:02:26Yes.
00:02:27Oh, my goodness.
00:02:28Oh, my goodness.
00:02:29Oh, my goodness.
00:02:30Oh, my goodness.
00:02:31Oh, my goodness.
00:02:32Oh, my goodness.
00:02:33Oh, my goodness.
00:02:34Oh, my goodness.
00:02:35Oh, my goodness.
00:02:36Oh, my goodness.
00:02:37Oh, my goodness.
00:02:38Oh, my goodness.
00:02:40Lovely.
00:02:42Baked from scratch.
00:02:43Help yourselves.
00:02:44Click on.
00:02:45Help yourself.
00:02:46What do you want?
00:02:47I think I'll start with the tuna thingy.
00:02:48What was that?
00:02:49Tuna?
00:02:50That's a good question.
00:02:51Is it this ad?
00:02:52I'll go for one of these.
00:02:53How have you two been?
00:02:54Good.
00:02:55Yeah.
00:02:56You know, like, yeah, we've...
00:02:57Yeah, I mean, surreal, huh?
00:02:58Yeah.
00:02:59The whole experience has just been...
00:03:00I mean, it's been a lot of fun.
00:03:01It's been a lot of fun.
00:03:02It's been a lot of fun.
00:03:03It's been a lot of fun.
00:03:04It's been a lot of fun.
00:03:05It's been a lot of fun.
00:03:06It's been a lot of fun.
00:03:07It's been a lot of fun.
00:03:09I mean, you know, because I came back from the pod, you know?
00:03:11Yes, you did.
00:03:14I thought, oh, no, what happened?
00:03:16I mean, it was really, wasn't it?
00:03:18It was just, oh, Mum.
00:03:20And you know when all the emotions come out?
00:03:26He couldn't eat.
00:03:27We've never seen him in a state like that, have we?
00:03:29No.
00:03:30No.
00:03:31He couldn't really talk to him either.
00:03:35He just thought, so, have I done the right thing?
00:03:37And I just wanted to do right for you.
00:03:46I think there's some level of me,
00:03:48I need to take some ownership here to apologise.
00:03:51You know, I don't want to feel like anyone has any disgruntlements
00:03:54or any reservations about me.
00:03:57Putting aside Ben, like, it was clear to me
00:04:00it just wasn't right with Sam.
00:04:03It wasn't a good situation.
00:04:05I don't think it was healthy.
00:04:07I think it's hard.
00:04:08You do probably see that as well.
00:04:10Now you know Ben is the right one,
00:04:13I want to know more about you.
00:04:16Don't ask me about anything.
00:04:18Go on, anything.
00:04:19Were there any previous relationships?
00:04:21I'll be honest, I was married before.
00:04:24Were you?
00:04:25Yeah.
00:04:26And that was three years ago.
00:04:28So, since then, I've stayed single for three years.
00:04:32Yeah, I can understand that.
00:04:34Working on myself.
00:04:35It's been such an intense experience.
00:04:36Have there been arguments?
00:04:37Or has it been plain sailing?
00:04:40Do you want to answer?
00:04:41No, you clapped on both.
00:04:43No, there's been...
00:04:44Yeah, it's been mainly about...
00:04:48..I think, Sam's situation.
00:04:55You look so sheepish.
00:04:57I had to say what I had to say to him.
00:04:59Like, I had to call him out.
00:05:01You can't keep things in.
00:05:02And then he said a few more not-so-nice things about you.
00:05:05Yeah.
00:05:06You saw through him straightaway, really, didn't you?
00:05:09Yeah, yeah.
00:05:10Hearing how he is from Ben,
00:05:13didn't you have in the back of your head,
00:05:15oh, maybe he's not as genuine?
00:05:19Yeah, no, I...
00:05:20Too fake.
00:05:21No, I did, I did.
00:05:23The Sam thing, I think there's an element
00:05:25of still different experiences with him.
00:05:29Which probably affect me more than they affect you.
00:05:32I don't want to go into the details.
00:05:34But I know, I know, I know the guy.
00:05:37I know what I saw of him.
00:05:39Probably seeing that little bit of good that might be there.
00:05:42And just want to get rid of the situation and move on, isn't it?
00:05:46And then maybe you should do the same.
00:05:48Move on from it.
00:05:50Yeah.
00:05:51You learn more.
00:05:52We learn so much from those conflicts.
00:05:54You can only get stronger from it, really.
00:05:56Exactly.
00:05:57We're both very, I think, analytical and look at it.
00:06:00And, like, assess everything.
00:06:02But how do you know he's the one?
00:06:04I think, for me, what I realised in Ben was that
00:06:09he always wants to be a better version of himself.
00:06:12And that's, to me, very special, you know?
00:06:15And I've never had anyone look out for me the way he has.
00:06:20What was the proposal like?
00:06:23Which one?
00:06:25Which one?
00:06:27Too soon, guys, too soon.
00:06:29Too soon, too soon.
00:06:31Too soon.
00:06:33Right, go on.
00:06:37I've never seen him like this, even with ex, like, partners.
00:06:42It's refreshing.
00:06:44Yeah, it is. It's a good sign.
00:06:46You guys.
00:06:50It's amazing what a scone can do.
00:07:02I have to say, you guys look so together, though.
00:07:05You did it, you really did it.
00:07:07I thought you'd be really, really pale.
00:07:10Really pale? I have just been on holiday.
00:07:13What do you do for a living? Don't know what I'm asking.
00:07:16Why are you laughing? What? What's funny?
00:07:18Why is that funny? What should I not ask?
00:07:20Is it something? No, I'm a funeral director.
00:07:23Funeral... Sorry, what's that?
00:07:25Funeral director.
00:07:27OK, fine.
00:07:29Yeah, yeah. Fine.
00:07:31Yeah.
00:07:33Although, you know, in that industry, is it a little bit...
00:07:36No, I love the job. Sad?
00:07:38No, it's not sad, obviously, yeah.
00:07:40Obviously, yeah, I'm looking after, you know,
00:07:43people during the most difficult time of their lives.
00:07:46It is sad, but you've just got to support the family.
00:07:49I think that's why you are the way you are, like, part of you.
00:07:52No, it probably is, yeah. It takes a certain human.
00:07:55How was wedding night?
00:07:57How's wedding planning going?
00:07:59Stressful.
00:08:01Yeah, you're getting stressed. I get so stressed.
00:08:04No, it's going to be... It'll be a nice day regardless.
00:08:07Do you feel it in your heart and your head?
00:08:09Do you feel that's what you guys want?
00:08:11You want to get married?
00:08:12Or is there a few things that you want to work on first?
00:08:15I'll have to let you answer that.
00:08:17Yeah, pretty good first.
00:08:19Yeah, obviously, I've formed this connection with Kat,
00:08:22and, yeah, I do love her.
00:08:24And ultimately, yeah, I do want to marry the girl.
00:08:26Aw. Yeah.
00:08:27Are there any doubts at the moment?
00:08:30Erm, doubts are just...
00:08:32We are different in some aspects as well, I think.
00:08:35Erm, I feel like I'm a bit more chilled than Kat,
00:08:38and I know Kat tells me,
00:08:40oh, you know, I'm not about going out and going to bougie places
00:08:43and doing all this...
00:08:44I say I go to bougie places. No, I know, but that...
00:08:46I say I go with the girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:48Like, that's, like, our tree. Bougie brunches.
00:08:50Yeah, like, that's what we do. Yeah.
00:08:52And don't get me wrong, I love going out, you know,
00:08:54for a meal every now and then. But you don't drink and you don't go out?
00:08:57Yeah, I'm not, like... So do you think Kat is high-maintenance?
00:09:00Yeah, I do a little bit, yeah. I think she is a bit, yeah.
00:09:03Yeah.
00:09:06I do worry that our lifestyle's a little bit different.
00:09:09That is a doubt. Is that OK, though?
00:09:11Because if, say, you think Kat is, like, that way, is that OK?
00:09:14No, I don't think so, because I think that I would not satisfy her.
00:09:20I worry, like, stuff you say sometimes,
00:09:22I know you've said, oh, yeah, I've been here, I've been there,
00:09:25I've been to this club and I've done this,
00:09:27I've been to Ocean Beach, I've done this,
00:09:29and I'm thinking I've never, sort of, dated a girl like that.
00:09:32And without... A girl like that? Yeah.
00:09:35It's annoying, because you have lived with me now for quite a while
00:09:38and you think I eat in, like, Nobu every day.
00:09:41I don't know what that is. Do you know what?
00:09:43I'll give you some advice, Freddie. I think stop worrying,
00:09:45because Kat doesn't do it every day.
00:09:47And this is the first time you have vocalised
00:09:49this whole materialistic side of me.
00:09:51I don't live this life. Yeah.
00:09:53And it's starting to piss me off.
00:09:59Like, if you're doubting this now,
00:10:01you're going to doubt it in months' time.
00:10:03Yeah, I get that.
00:10:05And I'm proving myself day in, day out,
00:10:07and I feel like you're literally now picking on me.
00:10:13Do you want to get another drink at the bar?
00:10:15Yeah, I'll grab one, yeah. Thank you.
00:10:20So...
00:10:22Opinions?
00:10:24I think he seems like a really nice guy.
00:10:28He's worrying a lot, isn't he? Yeah.
00:10:30We're talking about, obviously, you know,
00:10:32when we get married, if we get married,
00:10:34and he's decided he wants a prenup.
00:10:38Really? Really.
00:10:43Should I be worried?
00:10:45For me, it's a bit controlling.
00:10:47Really? Yeah.
00:10:49Yeah.
00:10:51Maybe it's because you're still quite early days.
00:10:55Yes. He said the house will go to his sister.
00:10:57Oh, really?
00:10:59So what's in the contract, though? That's the thing.
00:11:01If we do a prenup, so everything will go to his sister.
00:11:04So you're effectively screwed.
00:11:06But in the prenup, you've got nothing of you in there.
00:11:08I don't think so.
00:11:10I don't like that. You don't like that?
00:11:12No. Have you signed it? No, I don't like that.
00:11:14No.
00:11:17Say, like, in 20 years' time,
00:11:19you're absolutely happy, married, love the guy.
00:11:21Yeah, I'm screwed. You've got two kids.
00:11:23Can you change a prenup? No.
00:11:25That worries me, that you never know what life brings at you, and...
00:11:29I'm always going to be on eggshell.
00:11:31Do you think that's a sign, then,
00:11:33that he's already thinking about potentially separating?
00:11:37He's planning...
00:11:39It's giving it an easier option, isn't it?
00:11:41Yeah.
00:11:44Um, that's just made me, like...
00:11:46My head is, like...
00:11:48I don't know.
00:11:52Despite that little blip, like, he is, you know, he is...
00:11:55I've never met a guy like him, like, genuinely.
00:11:58He is brilliant.
00:12:00But are we planning a wedding together, or are we not?
00:12:03Like, are you going to say I do, or are you going to say I don't?
00:12:06I think you both just need to reassure each other, it sounds like,
00:12:09to see if you're on the same page,
00:12:11cos at the moment, I think you're on, like, completely different boots.
00:12:16The two of them look absolutely gorgeous together,
00:12:19and I think he's actually a really lovely guy, Freddie.
00:12:22I would 100% be supportive of the relationship,
00:12:25but could he match her lifestyle?
00:12:29You know, Kat is not a house hermit, and I felt he very much was.
00:12:33He's very much, like, sit-at-home, beans-on-toast sort of thing.
00:12:37You know, what's your heart telling you, Kat?
00:12:39Can you see a future with him?
00:12:41And I just think, in my heart, that it probably won't work, I'll be honest.
00:12:54It means a lot, like, your lives are both coming out.
00:12:59I was just hoping that you two would see in her what I see in her.
00:13:03I think she's now sweet sweetie pie. Yeah.
00:13:05She's just so lovely, she's honest.
00:13:08Well, she's got so many wonderful qualities.
00:13:10Easy-going, open, lovely smile.
00:13:13She gets your approval, the seal of approval.
00:13:16100%, 110%.
00:13:18Cool, now I can breathe.
00:13:20It's almost like we're relieved as well.
00:13:24You know, and seeing you so happy now.
00:13:26There's that happiness in there.
00:13:28Yeah, that fire alive again. Yeah.
00:13:30And that, as a mother, that is just...
00:13:33Couldn't be sure more.
00:13:36Yeah, good luck to you both. Thank you.
00:13:38From the bottom of my heart.
00:13:40I love you, Mum. I love you too.
00:13:43It's not long now until the wedding,
00:13:45and the further along we get, the better, the lighter I feel
00:13:48with everything going forward, as potentially husband and wife.
00:13:53It's broken.
00:14:03When he came back to Germany,
00:14:05and it hadn't gone the way he wanted it to,
00:14:09that hurt seeing how he was.
00:14:12I've said to him in the past as well with exes,
00:14:14I was like, I knew she wasn't the right one for you.
00:14:17But with you, I've got a good feeling.
00:14:19Really? I do.
00:14:22Thank you so much. Thank you.
00:14:25Honestly, it makes me feel so much better
00:14:28that you have confidence in his decision.
00:14:31I mean, I don't know you, but I feel like I do.
00:14:34Thank you. Me too.
00:14:38I honestly love him so much. Yeah, and I can see that as well.
00:14:41You put his needs first as well,
00:14:43whereas sometimes in the past his needs haven't been met.
00:14:47Cos he is a nomad, like, he can't stay still.
00:14:50We never know when he'll be back.
00:14:55Ben's family gave me the validation I need
00:14:58to tick another stumbling block for me saying I do, you know?
00:15:04A lot of people are, oh, he has to settle down.
00:15:07They don't understand that that's his lifestyle.
00:15:10I don't know if he could change it.
00:15:14But I'm conscious of the mistakes
00:15:16that were made from my first marriage.
00:15:18That's what I'm afraid of.
00:15:20Like, can he really commit to marriage?
00:15:25To what extent will he feel trapped?
00:15:30I am very protective of him.
00:15:35And I've seen him get hurt a lot.
00:15:38Yeah.
00:15:40But if you both feel it's right, then go for it.
00:15:44Yeah, we won't, won't give, give up.
00:15:49We fight on.
00:15:53Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
00:15:56We fight on.
00:15:59Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
00:16:01Big day today, huh?
00:16:03Are you looking forward to meeting my family?
00:16:05Yeah. I can handle it.
00:16:07I know you can. You're going to pass that test with flying colours.
00:16:11I already know. Yeah, of course.
00:16:19All right. You look good.
00:16:21Thank you. You too. Sexy.
00:16:23Thank you. Love the dress.
00:16:25Are you feeling nervous?
00:16:27For the first time, I am feeling slightly nervous.
00:16:30I know it's a big night. I know how important your mum is to you.
00:16:33What about you? I mean, I am quite nervous,
00:16:35purely for the fact that she's very protective over me.
00:16:38She's quite sceptical.
00:16:40She just wants to know that, yeah, for the genuine reasons.
00:16:43And I know you are, but you need to tell her that.
00:16:47Mm. Yeah.
00:16:49The one thing I am certain of is, you know,
00:16:51my feelings towards you and our connection.
00:16:54I guess what I would say about my mum is she's a straight shooter.
00:16:58I mean, even growing up, I never introduced anyone to my mum.
00:17:02You know, this is the mum that used to go through my call log
00:17:05and call each and every single mobile number.
00:17:09And if it was a boy, she would block them on my phone
00:17:12and tell them to never speak to me again.
00:17:14She may say some things that are a bit hurtful at times,
00:17:19but that's just how she is.
00:17:21She wants to make sure that the person that's going to be my husband
00:17:24is going to be looking after me.
00:17:28Listen, my mum's like an FBI detective, MI5, the whole nine.
00:17:33So she would have done a full background check.
00:17:35She'll, like, analyse body language.
00:17:37Bobby can't hide shit.
00:17:39Let's just be real, let's be honest with where we're at,
00:17:42what our plans are for the future, cos she'd want to know that.
00:17:45I'm feeling a little bit worried. This has been a big build-up.
00:17:49I know that it's a huge moment,
00:17:51especially knowing how much she wants to protect Jasmine.
00:17:54I've got to really make sure that I don't mess it up.
00:17:57Of course, I know that I'm not here to hurt you.
00:18:00But now I get why she's going to ask the difficult questions.
00:18:24Sister!
00:18:26Hello! Come on in.
00:18:28Hello. I'm really looking forward to seeing my sisters today.
00:18:31They're awesome and I'm sure they're going to get on with Maria really well.
00:18:34You only brought one bottle? Yeah.
00:18:37Anya and Megan are both my dad's kids, so they're my half-sisters,
00:18:40so their opinion means a lot to me.
00:18:42They've met a few of my exes over the years,
00:18:44some of which they've liked and some of which they haven't.
00:18:47Hi! Nice to meet you.
00:18:49Hi, nice to meet you again.
00:18:51Aw! These are my sisters!
00:18:55Yeah, you guys all right?
00:18:57Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.
00:18:59Where do you want me?
00:19:01We need to go there. I'll go there. We can go there.
00:19:04Thanks for the wine. Yeah, thank you.
00:19:06Can I eat a glass now? Yeah, I bet you do.
00:19:09Are you hungry? Do you want to eat straight away?
00:19:11Happy to, yeah. Depends on what you've cooked.
00:19:14There you go. This is delicious pasta bacon.
00:19:17Thank you. Thanks.
00:19:20Oh, OK. There you go, dear.
00:19:23Ooh, me first, thanks.
00:19:26We're in this family where we actually say grace.
00:19:29And I would like you to lead the prayer.
00:19:33So, you were dating behind this pod thing?
00:19:36We've been talking to each other every day for, like, two weeks,
00:19:39you know? I just think the whole thing is crazy.
00:19:42Yeah, it is crazy. It is crazy, for sure.
00:19:44When I say to people, like, oh, you fell for someone behind a wall,
00:19:47and they're like, what? That's crazy.
00:19:49And I'm like, but I think that's really lovely,
00:19:51like, you fell for someone for the right reason.
00:19:53Yeah. Oh, you did? OK, did you?
00:19:55Yeah, no, I thought falling for someone without seeing what they look like
00:19:58is, like, the nicest aspect of everything.
00:20:01What drew you to each other, then?
00:20:03It sounds so cliche, but I just feel like we had a connection.
00:20:06It's not, like, tangible, but it's just sort of, like,
00:20:08how you feel when you go in there.
00:20:10I felt really comfortable with you and you made me laugh.
00:20:13Yeah. Would you say love is blind?
00:20:16Yeah.
00:20:18I went into it with a lot of cynicism,
00:20:20and it has been, like, life-changing.
00:20:23We've had a couple of disagreements and stuff, quite big ones, but...
00:20:26Disagreements about, like, just general things, or, like...
00:20:31I feel like I've been raised a certain way,
00:20:33and so I expect, like, a man to behave in a certain way,
00:20:36especially in the beginning of a relationship.
00:20:38And so, like, the first time we ever went out... Mm-hm.
00:20:42..we went to get ice cream, and Tom was comfortable with me paying,
00:20:46and I felt like I saw that as, like,
00:20:48our first date in the real world, like our first little outing.
00:20:52You said you just didn't think about it.
00:20:54No, I wasn't thinking about it.
00:20:56That's exactly, I think, what the situation would be.
00:20:58It just didn't pop into your head. No.
00:21:00It's just an ice cream.
00:21:03I hate to say this, but I think it's the case for a lot of people.
00:21:07With my culture and our background,
00:21:09the man is always sort of seen as the provider.
00:21:12Maria's Muslim, and her family as well, that's very new to me.
00:21:15Yeah, and I need to make sure that my husband
00:21:18is going to be able to look after me and the children.
00:21:21That's how my dad was, that's how all my uncles have been,
00:21:24so that's when I need to make sure that you have us.
00:21:28So, the whole living together, do you see that working?
00:21:31At first, we spoke about me moving into Tom's place. Yeah.
00:21:35But I am not 100% comfortable paying someone else's mortgage,
00:21:40if I'm being completely honest.
00:21:43Yeah. We can talk about that.
00:21:46You never know what's going to happen.
00:21:48Like, if we're together for four, five, six years and then we end,
00:21:51I've just ended up paying, like, a huge amount of his mortgage,
00:21:54and do you know what I mean? It's like, happy days, see you later.
00:21:58Maria's saying she doesn't want to contribute to Tom's mortgage.
00:22:02I kind of understand that,
00:22:04but then maybe that's her saying that she has doubts in her mind.
00:22:07You can't marry someone without knowing where you stand
00:22:10with those financial things.
00:22:12Money is the statistical reason why most people divorce.
00:22:15My view on the money stuff is, like,
00:22:17we're not compatible on, like, the basic lifestyle stuff.
00:22:21You know, it's about quality. Mm.
00:22:23The worry is that that's quite a big thing,
00:22:25and there'll probably be other big things
00:22:27that we haven't had the time yet to address. Yeah.
00:22:29I think we're good with, like, in terms of that kind of stuff. Yeah.
00:22:32We've been very realistic.
00:22:34It wouldn't be a relationship if we were just good all the time.
00:22:37Exactly. Yeah.
00:22:38I don't know. Obviously, you've both chosen to go into this for a reason.
00:22:41Yeah. And I hope it works out.
00:22:43Thank you. Thank you, mate.
00:22:45You seem very natural, and I love you.
00:22:47I think you're great, honestly. Aw, mate.
00:22:49No, seriously, like...
00:22:51I just want to say cheers to family.
00:22:53It's genuinely the most important thing in your life, you know?
00:22:56The wedding is fast approaching, and there are a lot of hurdles,
00:22:59you know, around our values, particularly the finance stuff.
00:23:02You know, I want to be absolutely certain.
00:23:04And I know she does as well.
00:23:06We love each other, and it means so much to both of us, so...
00:23:10Cheers.
00:23:24KNOCK ON DOOR
00:23:28Hello.
00:23:30Hi.
00:23:32Hi, darling.
00:23:34Hi.
00:23:36Hi, Freddie.
00:23:38You all right? You OK?
00:23:40It's really good to see you. Nice to meet you.
00:23:42Hi. John. Freddie. How you doing?
00:23:44How you doing? Nice to meet you.
00:23:46How you doing? You good? All right.
00:23:50Come on in. Here we are.
00:23:52You've seen me now. Yeah.
00:23:54Come through, come through.
00:23:56I'm really excited that my family are coming today.
00:23:58A lot rides on this.
00:24:00I'm hoping when Freddie meets my parents, it's clarity.
00:24:03Freddie needs to work out if he's 100%.
00:24:06I don't want him to have these doubts coming so close to the wedding.
00:24:09And if there's no connection with my parents and Freddie,
00:24:13then that's a deal-breaker on both sides.
00:24:15Today's a big day.
00:24:17Is Freddie what you thought he was going to be like?
00:24:19Looking like?
00:24:21No. No. No.
00:24:23It's funny how you build a picture in your head, isn't it?
00:24:25What did you think? I don't know. I always imagine blonde hair.
00:24:27I don't know why. Well, everyone said that.
00:24:29Everyone said skinny blonde guy. Everyone said that.
00:24:31I feel like I'm in the experiment.
00:24:33Yeah, I mean, you seem happy, hopefully.
00:24:35You look a lot happier.
00:24:37A lot happier? Yeah.
00:24:39Cos I'm not living it up.
00:24:41Thank you. We love you.
00:24:43I'm not doing the dishes every five minutes.
00:24:45I know, I do miss that.
00:24:49Whilst we're on the subject, what was she like when she was a kid?
00:24:52What was she like growing up?
00:24:54She was a very happy child.
00:24:56Never one to... I can't just sit down?
00:24:58No. You'd never find her in a corner reading a book anywhere.
00:25:01She was active. That's the word.
00:25:04Yeah, she was always... But then she had lots of...
00:25:06Activity. Yeah, cos you were on your own.
00:25:08You were an only child, weren't you?
00:25:10I had a bit of a different upbringing to her,
00:25:13the generic way, I guess.
00:25:15Like, she was adopted.
00:25:17The thing that amazed me when we went to pick Catherine up,
00:25:21I thought, gosh, this poor baby's not going to know who we are.
00:25:24Is she going to be OK?
00:25:26Will she take to us OK?
00:25:28Cos she was still 11 weeks at that time,
00:25:30and she just didn't stop smiling.
00:25:32And that was it. She never stopped.
00:25:34She was just a perfect baby. She was really good.
00:25:36Perfect. Perfect baby. Perfect baby.
00:25:38We don't know what happened.
00:25:40LAUGHTER
00:25:42And so, obviously, you know,
00:25:44we just wanted to be happy and want the best for her.
00:25:47Gosh, yeah.
00:25:49How are you finding it all?
00:25:51You know, I've sort of come into it thinking,
00:25:55but I didn't realise I'd feel all these emotions.
00:26:00So, I met Kat and we formed this deep connection.
00:26:03Through a wall. Yeah.
00:26:05Yeah, so that fascinates me.
00:26:07Since the pods, we've had ups and downs.
00:26:09I have to tell the truth, we have.
00:26:11We have had little disagreements.
00:26:13Yeah, we've not argued. We've not argued.
00:26:15That's normal, isn't it? It's not arguments,
00:26:17it's just totally different people. Yeah.
00:26:19I just want to be 100% sure for Kat
00:26:22that I'm ready to sort of say, yeah, I do.
00:26:25You're worried that you're not good enough
00:26:27and you're worried that, like,
00:26:29your lifestyle and my lifestyle are different.
00:26:31Yeah. You know, initially... Which is not true.
00:26:34There's a few things that I need to sort of work on
00:26:37and clarify in my mind. What are them, things?
00:26:40I just want it to be right. I want to be 100%.
00:26:43I don't want to get divorced. Yeah.
00:26:45It's a big leap. Yeah. It is.
00:26:48But you will never know the outcome.
00:26:51It's a chance you take.
00:26:53I just want it to be perfect, I want it to be right.
00:26:55Yeah. Like, she's a great girl.
00:26:57I mean, I feel better now I've met you.
00:27:00Oh, 100 times better. Cos I just wanted to see...
00:27:02Oh, that's nice. Yeah, I do.
00:27:04I just feel I just wanted to see how we work together.
00:27:07If you're both happy, cos that's obviously really important.
00:27:11And how do you feel about us?
00:27:13I think, for me, it's really important
00:27:15that you have a relationship with...
00:27:17I wanted a relationship with yourselves as well. Yeah.
00:27:19So that's really important to me, yeah.
00:27:22Oh, that's good. That's good. I'm pleased.
00:27:25I'm just trying to be honest throughout.
00:27:27But I know that me being in this limbo of I don't know,
00:27:30I know it's hurting her.
00:27:32And that's why I'm trying to sort of push to one side
00:27:36the wedding and just focus on us.
00:27:38I've always believed in what's in your heart
00:27:42is the most important thing.
00:27:44You have to follow your heart, not the head.
00:27:47Yeah. How do you feel in your heart?
00:27:52Yeah, I'm happy. I feel...
00:27:54My feelings for Kat are real. Good.
00:27:56I do care a lot about her.
00:27:58She means a lot to me.
00:28:00The emotions I've developed with her are true.
00:28:03Oh, good. Yeah.
00:28:04So I want you to know that whatever happens, you know,
00:28:07throughout our relationship, I promise that I'll love her
00:28:10and I'll be there by her side if she wants me to be.
00:28:13So, yeah.
00:28:15I'll be honest with you.
00:28:17For marriage, you have to work as a team. Yeah.
00:28:20They're never easy. Yeah. Never easy.
00:28:25I've been married 35 years. Yeah.
00:28:28So you have to be open, open-minded all the time. Yeah.
00:28:33And that's what's taken my marriage. Yeah.
00:28:36Kat's mum and dad are really nice.
00:28:39I'm just so happy they like me.
00:28:41It's sort of like I've been welcomed as part of the family.
00:28:44I'm learning more and more about her
00:28:46and I have taken on board what her dad's said
00:28:49and it's given me the reassurance
00:28:51that I want to pursue my life with her and see where it leads.
00:28:54Just enjoy every day.
00:28:58Your personalities remind me so much of Dad and I.
00:29:02I literally said this.
00:29:04It's just relief, I think.
00:29:07It's just so nice to see you both
00:29:09because he reminds me so much of...
00:29:12He's very laid-back like your dad, isn't he?
00:29:14I've been saying that.
00:29:15And I'm the one that will worry about things
00:29:17and, you know, your dad says, oh, you know, it's...
00:29:19So I get the reassurance from him.
00:29:21So that's how I look at the two of you and think...
00:29:25..I think you'd be good together. Yeah.
00:29:28You've got a good blend.
00:29:30When Freddie says no at the Ultra and I'm very unaware,
00:29:35I don't know if I could move past that.
00:29:37I think that's going to be hard.
00:29:39I hope this has helped.
00:29:41But, like, it's just putting me on edge.
00:29:43I want to be excited for the wedding,
00:29:46but I don't know if there's going to be one.
00:29:48You've got to let him have that space to think about it
00:29:51and he'll come to the right decision.
00:29:53I'm definitely going to take on my mum's advice.
00:29:55Now that he's met my parents, I feel uplifted.
00:29:58I see myself getting married to Freddie
00:30:00and I want to go down that aisle saying I do,
00:30:03but I need to just step back
00:30:05and let him do it without the pressure
00:30:07and just let it happen
00:30:09because I think that it will happen
00:30:11if it just happens organically.
00:30:15Do you vision him at home on a Sunday?
00:30:18Yeah, I can. Yeah.
00:30:20Can you? Yeah.
00:30:21And you're welcome to our mad family any time.
00:30:24Of course. Yeah.
00:30:27She's a good girl.

00:31:10Oh, so nice to meet you.
00:31:12How are you doing?
00:31:14Hi. Oh, nice to meet you.
00:31:16Welcome. Come in.
00:31:18You look gorgeous, Mum. Yeah, you look stunning.
00:31:21So are you. Yeah.
00:31:23Do you want to come in?
00:31:25THEY LAUGH
00:31:28Now I know where Jasmine gets her good looks from.
00:31:33I've been really looking forward to meeting you.
00:31:35I don't know what to say.
00:31:37I don't know what to say. Don't worry.
00:31:39I'm, like, shocked. Yeah, yeah.
00:31:41I'm in a shock.
00:31:43Don't worry.
00:31:45Are you hungry?
00:31:47I am hungry. Yeah, good.
00:31:49But I probably won't be able to eat much.
00:31:51OK. Shall we sit down?
00:31:55Perfect.
00:32:02All right, here we are.
00:32:04So, what made you think that,
00:32:06oh, this is the girl for me?
00:32:09Well, when I came into this experiment,
00:32:12I mean, I was looking for a certain type of woman,
00:32:15you know, a woman that was sweet, caring, honest,
00:32:18a good listener,
00:32:20somebody that had values, you know,
00:32:22somebody that understood me.
00:32:24You know, Jasmine is that woman, so...
00:32:26Wow. I don't know.
00:32:28I have mixed feelings.
00:32:30Obviously, there are fears.
00:32:33Do you see yourselves going to be together forever?
00:32:38For me, that's what this marriage is, you know.
00:32:43How about past relationship?
00:32:46How many girlfriends did you have?
00:32:49Not that many serious relationships.
00:32:51My last one...
00:32:53Not serious? No.
00:32:58How's your education, Bobby?
00:33:01So, when I was in school,
00:33:03I struggled really to kind of concentrate,
00:33:05so I ended up not going to university.
00:33:09But in this day and age,
00:33:10not a lot of people go to university anymore.
00:33:12I know, but it's better to be with a person
00:33:16with a good educational background.
00:33:21Sometimes, it's very difficult
00:33:24to communicate with an uneducated person.
00:33:30I'm very, very protective.
00:33:32I don't want her to get hurt again.
00:33:36Most men, every time they meet another woman,
00:33:40you know, it changes their perspective,
00:33:43their want, their likes.
00:33:45Changes all the time.
00:33:47I know what you mean.
00:33:48You know, men can be a certain way.
00:33:50And I've watched my mom
00:33:51go into really poor relationships, you know.
00:33:54There you go.
00:33:55With the wrong types of men.
00:33:56So, that's the last thing that I want to be.
00:33:58Because it's not nice.
00:34:00Heartbreaks are not nice.
00:34:03Trust is gained at the end of the day.
00:34:06I've been through two failed marriages,
00:34:10and I don't want Jasmine to go through that.
00:34:16So, what's the future plan?
00:34:19So, the plan is...
00:34:20Because you live far away.
00:34:22Yeah.
00:34:24You can't do that.
00:34:26I'm going to move to London.
00:34:28And you work?
00:34:29So, I'm working remotely.
00:34:30London price is so expensive, Jasmine.
00:34:33I can make good money from sales,
00:34:35so I don't think, I think we can afford it.
00:34:38You can afford it?
00:34:40Definitely.
00:34:43So, I'm not worried about that.
00:34:45And we're open to, in the future,
00:34:47maybe we will go abroad.
00:34:48I mean, that's a good thing.
00:34:49We're both married.
00:34:50Abroad, but how about the family?
00:34:54I'm very much involved.
00:34:57I've always been involved with Jasmine.
00:35:00We talk like sisters.
00:35:02And I said, if you have secrets,
00:35:04tell me first, not your friends.
00:35:06I am your friend.
00:35:07I am the best friend that you could ever have.
00:35:11She never hides anything from me.
00:35:15I think going forward, though.
00:35:17Yeah.
00:35:18I don't want to be telling you,
00:35:20oh, Bobby and I had an argument because of the dishwasher.
00:35:23No, but you have to tell me.
00:35:25100%, but not every single,
00:35:26no, but not every single argument,
00:35:28because that's going to put you off of him.
00:35:30And he's going to be the father of, you know,
00:35:32your future grandchildren.
00:35:33We can't be doing these things
00:35:35where I'm telling you every single argument.
00:35:38Because you'll just, you'll bring it up again.
00:35:41No, I think you have to tell me.
00:35:43You have to tell me everything.
00:35:49I'm very worried.
00:35:50It seems so short to know a person and get married.
00:35:56The time is not enough to say that
00:36:00I'm in love with that person.
00:36:04It's not good.
00:36:06Jasmine, are you sure?
00:36:11I am sure.
00:36:12Yeah, I'm sure.
00:36:14It's going to be difficult, though.
00:36:19I respect her choices.
00:36:21However, words of warning,
00:36:26be very loyal.
00:36:29And if there's something that, you know, secret,
00:36:34everybody has secret.
00:36:39Don't ever, ever lie to me.
00:36:42Loyalty.
00:36:44Promise me you would always be good to me.
00:36:48You should know better than to risk it.
00:36:52You know that I'm done because I will come, yeah.
00:36:57Meeting Marissa, I feel like, is the last hurdle
00:37:00that we need to get over before getting to that big day.
00:37:03This is a lot, and I'm really getting a grill in here.
00:37:07I'm hoping that I'm passing the test.
00:37:09But if we are going to make this work,
00:37:11there have to be some boundaries in place.
00:37:13This is going to be mine and Jasmine's marriage,
00:37:15and not Marissa's.
00:37:19He makes me feel happy. Why can't I be happy?
00:37:22I want to choose happiness.
00:37:24How long will that last?
00:37:27I don't want you to make the same mistakes that I have.
00:37:33Obviously, growing up, I haven't really witnessed
00:37:36a very healthy, you know, mother and father marriage.
00:37:40I've also experienced a lot of failed relationships
00:37:42where, you know, I haven't felt loved.
00:37:45I guess this time around, it feels like everything feels right.
00:37:48I'm not wanting anything more from him.
00:37:51He's already providing that for me without even me saying it.
00:37:55You're not getting carried away.
00:37:57No, but I know I'm making the right decision.
00:38:00You know how interfering, but at the same time,
00:38:04I'm very protective.
00:38:05You mean well.
00:38:06I mean well.
00:38:11Why am I so emotional?
00:38:24And your children.
00:38:25Yeah.
00:38:26You're going to have your children.
00:38:28I don't want them to experience this, crying.
00:38:34You remembered when you were young.
00:38:37I don't want them to have those memories in their mind.
00:38:42I just want you to be happy.
00:38:44I am happy.
00:38:46Jasmine means the world to me.
00:38:48She is my support.
00:38:50She's my best friend.
00:38:52She is everything to me.
00:38:55I will always be here to support you, whatever,
00:38:58no matter what happens.
00:39:01I want the best for her.
00:39:06Yeah.
00:39:28How crazy is this?
00:39:31I can't believe we're doing this.
00:39:33Hello.
00:39:34Oh my gosh.
00:39:35Hi.
00:39:36I'm really excited to pick a dress.
00:39:38Every day is becoming more serious,
00:39:40and this is like the second biggest day.
00:39:43So it's a magical day.
00:39:45Oh my gosh, thank you.
00:39:47Honestly, I'm on the edge.
00:39:50Hello.
00:39:54That was a lovely welcome.
00:39:56How are you all?
00:39:58Good.
00:39:59Having a good rummage through the dresses?
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:05Hello, hello, hello.
00:40:06I heard somebody was getting married.
00:40:08Yes.
00:40:16What have you got in your head?
00:40:18I just want like a lacy, romantic, rouge type,
00:40:21but I do want like a Princess Diana type veil.
00:40:23I want it like dramatic, long.
00:40:25Dramatic and sexy.
00:40:26Yeah, that's the vibes.
00:40:29I want a fish towel.
00:40:31I'm going to walk.
00:40:33My dad walks slow anyway.
00:40:34Tell him to get his stretchers in.
00:40:35Don't you dare wear his sliders.
00:40:39I hope we have a bow tie.
00:40:40That would be class.
00:40:41Everyone's asking me, are you scared?
00:40:42Are you nervous?
00:40:43I'm like, not really.
00:40:44Have you had any moments where you've just been like,
00:40:47fuck this, sort of?
00:40:48A bit of a breakdown, right?
00:40:49Yeah.
00:40:51Yeah, definitely.
00:40:52What's triggered that?
00:40:53Yeah, maybe she snaps at me or something,
00:40:55and I'm thinking like, I don't want this.
00:40:57I'm still in a position,
00:40:58I feel like I've not made my mind up 100%.
00:41:02Well, I met Jasmine's mum last night.
00:41:04Oh, really? Wow.
00:41:05That was intense.
00:41:06Definitely gave me a good grilling, as expected.
00:41:08Yeah.
00:41:09That's gorgeous, but it's short in the front.
00:41:12OK, guys, I'll try on a puffy dress.
00:41:14I'll try a princess dress on.
00:41:15Calm down.
00:41:17I think that's stunning.
00:41:18That one's a definite try on.
00:41:20Shall we have a little chat, guys?
00:41:22Shall we come in?
00:41:23Today we're going to get you suited and booted
00:41:25so you look absolutely on point for the big day.
00:41:28There's a lot of you, isn't there?
00:41:31I do feel slightly scared.
00:41:33I'm not scared, but...
00:41:34I'm kind of imagining how your other halves have felt
00:41:37whilst meeting your friends and family.
00:41:40I mean, they must have been terrified.
00:41:43Pauline, it's quite a lot to take in, isn't it?
00:41:46The whole process is something else, and I'm not calm.
00:41:49I might look calm, but I'm an emotional wreck.
00:41:52I mean, you look amazing, and you look calm.
00:41:54I'm so happy for her.
00:41:56Don't start.
00:41:57Just set her off again.
00:41:59Don't make me cry, cos I don't have any tissues.
00:42:03Marisa, I hear you've literally just got here from the Philippines.
00:42:06Yes.
00:42:07So you arrived yesterday, and then you met Bobbie straight away.
00:42:11Yes.
00:42:12How did that go?
00:42:15I want to be.
00:42:18I'm a little...
00:42:20I think it's normal to be worried.
00:42:22Yeah.
00:42:23Cos I'm a very protective mum.
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:26I trust this girl well, and I'm proud of her.
00:42:30Aw!
00:42:33Aaron, great to see you again, mate.
00:42:35So now you know Ollie and Demi.
00:42:37Yeah.
00:42:38So how do you feel like their relationship is blossoming?
00:42:40Obviously, speaking to Demi in the pods,
00:42:42and then being with Ollie all the time in the lounge,
00:42:45they're both live wires,
00:42:47so there's definitely going to be some fireworks,
00:42:49but they're good ones, do you know what I mean?
00:42:51Yeah, yeah.
00:42:52So I think that he's ready for an unbelievable journey,
00:42:54and they're a match made in heaven.
00:42:55Nice. Good words.
00:42:56I agree, I agree.
00:42:57Live up to that.
00:42:58I appreciate you, man.
00:42:59Benaiah, good to see you again, mate.
00:43:01You look very calm, you look very ready.
00:43:03I mean, it helps having Nicole on my arm.
00:43:05Yeah.
00:43:06You know, she's been great for me the whole way through this,
00:43:08very supportive.
00:43:09So I'm feeling comfortable and confident.
00:43:11Great. I feel it. I feel it.
00:43:13Guys, in this experiment, you chose to get engaged
00:43:17and spend the rest of your life with someone you'd never actually met.
00:43:21After dating blindly,
00:43:23you formed a bond based solely on your emotional connections.
00:43:27Since then, you've had a romantic getaway,
00:43:31you've moved in together,
00:43:33and your wedding day's around the corner.
00:43:36So will you be saying I do
00:43:38to the man that you got engaged to, sight unseen,
00:43:41or will you choose to walk away forever?
00:43:45Are you ready to decide, is love truly blind?
00:43:49Yeah.
00:43:50Yes, there we go, there we go, there we go.
00:43:52I really hope it is, boys. I wish you all the best.
00:43:55I'm going to leave you now,
00:43:56so that you can all have some family and friend time.
00:43:59And good luck with everything.
00:44:00Got everything crossed for you all.
00:44:03Choose your suits wisely.
00:44:05Believe me, choose your suits wisely.
00:44:08All the best.
00:44:16The most important thing, we laugh every day.
00:44:18We have a laugh every day.
00:44:19She allows me to wind her up.
00:44:21She doesn't take herself too seriously.
00:44:23Yeah, that's good.
00:44:24Today is a super important day.
00:44:26It's the last big thing we do before we walk down the aisle.
00:44:30If the wedding was tomorrow,
00:44:32I'd be ready to say I do,
00:44:34because I truly think I've met my life person.
00:44:49Wow!
00:44:50So beautiful.
00:44:51Oh, my God.
00:44:52I thought you were going to cry.
00:44:54I love it.
00:44:56It all still feels very surreal.
00:44:58It's not quite real life yet,
00:45:00but every day I feel a little bit more and more confident
00:45:04about Stephen and I.
00:45:06Having the dress, I think that kind of really...
00:45:08Cements it?
00:45:09Yeah, sets it.
00:45:10Like, this is what I'll be wearing on my wedding day.
00:45:13Well, Stephen is a very lucky man.
00:45:16Very lucky.
00:45:17I'm very lucky too, though.
00:45:19Oh, well...
00:45:20SHE LAUGHS
00:45:21Oh, she's awful.
00:45:22I am 100% ready to say I do.
00:45:24I feel really, really good.
00:45:26Really happy.
00:45:37Oh, my goodness.
00:45:39Wow.
00:45:40I love it, honestly.
00:45:42I just feel really sexy as well.
00:45:44It's Benaiah, do you know what I mean?
00:45:46Like, every time I think about him,
00:45:48that's what makes me feel really safe in doing this.
00:45:51There's no-one else that I would be doing this for, honestly.
00:45:54Do you feel at peace with him?
00:45:56I genuinely do.
00:45:57I didn't even think I'd want to get married again, you know?
00:46:00OK.
00:46:01There we go.
00:46:05I wish you all the best and good luck.
00:46:08I'm excited for this now.
00:46:10Good.
00:46:11You should be excited for this.
00:46:13You should be excited. It's lovely, I mean...
00:46:16We're going to have fun today. No, we will.
00:46:18I'm so excited you three are here as well.
00:46:20Good.
00:46:21Right at the start of this process,
00:46:23we were talking about what marriage means to us,
00:46:25and I was like, well, an opportunity to celebrate your love for each other.
00:46:28Yeah, man, yeah.
00:46:29I really want to make the most of this
00:46:31and give it the best shot that we can,
00:46:33and this today is the longest that we've spent apart from each other
00:46:36in three weeks.
00:46:37How do you feel about that?
00:46:38Really missed her today.
00:46:39Really missed her, yeah.
00:46:40Massively.
00:46:44Oh, my God.
00:46:49Oh, wow.
00:46:51Isn't she gorgeous?
00:46:52Wow.
00:46:53Wow.
00:46:54Mashallah.
00:46:55Mashallah, honestly.
00:46:56You look...
00:46:57Mashallah.
00:46:58Stunning.
00:46:59Beautiful.
00:47:02I love you.
00:47:07You're so beautiful.
00:47:08Thanks, Mum.
00:47:12I love you so much.
00:47:13It's so important to have my friends and family.
00:47:15Like, the three people sat out there,
00:47:17they've shaped me as a person,
00:47:19they've helped me through my hardest times.
00:47:21You look so grown up.
00:47:23Oh, sissy.
00:47:25I love you.
00:47:26I love you.
00:47:27I love you.
00:47:28I love you.
00:47:29I love you.
00:47:31Being in this dress has definitely made things more real for me
00:47:34and it's definitely given me more clarity as well
00:47:37and I feel like that's exactly what I needed.
00:47:40I love it. I feel incredible.
00:47:42Good.
00:47:43Like, I want him to see it already.
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:46Today's, like, that happy day
00:47:48where you realise, actually, he's amazing.
00:47:51It's just not something I'm used to.
00:47:52How he is as a man, it's just...
00:47:54And I mean that in, like, the nicest way possible.
00:47:56Like, how he is with me, I'm not used to it.
00:47:59And everything that he is is actually exactly what I do need.
00:48:02I might be crying and look like a mess, but I feel really good.
00:48:06Can't tell.
00:48:10Blubbering mess.
00:48:22Aw!
00:48:23What do you think, sis?
00:48:25Good job.
00:48:26You like it?
00:48:28It accentuates your curves.
00:48:30You think so? Yeah.
00:48:31It's stunning. Like, it suits your figure perfectly.
00:48:34Are the sequins not too much?
00:48:36No, it's perfect.
00:48:37That's you.
00:48:38I was going to say, if you were a dress, this is it.
00:48:41This is it, Jaz.
00:48:42This is so you.
00:48:43We need to make sure Bobby cries.
00:48:45Bobby's going to cry.
00:48:46Bobby's going to be speechless.
00:48:48His jaw is on the floor.
00:48:49That's the kind of vibe we want.
00:48:50Yeah.
00:48:51No, I think he's going to be speechless.
00:48:53It's been a long time coming.
00:48:55I think the most important thing is,
00:48:57you know, before Bobby,
00:48:58I felt so at peace with myself.
00:49:01I felt so happy.
00:49:02And then having him, he's brought me even more peace.
00:49:05It's your time to shine.
00:49:07She's so beautiful.
00:49:09My daughter, wearing that dress,
00:49:12she looks like a stunning bride.
00:49:15She shines through.
00:49:17I think every mother would feel like the way I feel
00:49:21because that's my daughter.
00:49:23And I always want the best for my daughter.
00:49:27This day here is the biggest day of your life, really.
00:49:31Yeah, so I got the flyest I've ever looked in my life.
00:49:34You know what I mean?
00:49:36She genuinely makes me so happy.
00:49:38Like, honestly, I know it sounds cheesy,
00:49:40but just waking up to her every day,
00:49:42I don't care what we've got on that day,
00:49:44I know I'm going to have a good one.
00:49:46That's unreal.
00:49:47Whether we're going for a date
00:49:48or whether we're just going to stay indoors all day,
00:49:50I know I'm about to have a good time.
00:49:52And that's what you need out of a partner,
00:49:54which I would say is going to be five-star resorts in Greece.
00:50:08Oh, my God.
00:50:09I'm sorry that I didn't put any heels on, ladies.
00:50:12But I'll save that for the wedding day.
00:50:15Oh, my gosh, Demi.
00:50:17I love it.
00:50:18You look so...
00:50:20We're used to watching you play football.
00:50:23We support you for your boxing fight.
00:50:25I know.
00:50:26Can I just say...
00:50:27To see you, like...
00:50:28Is you.
00:50:29Honestly, Demi, you look amazing.
00:50:31You look amazing.
00:50:32A million dollars, honestly.
00:50:34I feel like a bit of a princess.
00:50:36The girl's back, and actually she's new and improved,
00:50:39I'll be honest with you.
00:50:40We can see it.
00:50:41We've got some, like, things to work on, you know,
00:50:43cos the booty be busting out.
00:50:45Like, walking in,
00:50:46you see, like, these beautiful women who are petite.
00:50:49You're like, oh, crap.
00:50:50Maybe I shouldn't eat that, don't.
00:50:52It's actually so bizarre
00:50:53that I was in that headspace at one point,
00:50:55because that doesn't define me.
00:50:56I'm actually very confident.
00:50:57I'm actually a very confident person.
00:50:59If I didn't go through this experiment and this experience,
00:51:02I would keep doing that, and actually, that's not healthy.
00:51:04Insecurities, seriously, get rid of them.
00:51:06It's actually just ridiculous.
00:51:08You are beautiful inside and out,
00:51:10and you are an amazing person.
00:51:12And me and Daddy created such a wonderful girl.
00:51:16Yeah.
00:51:17You did.
00:51:18But you also showed me
00:51:19what a really good marriage is as well.
00:51:22Like, I literally, I've said that from...
00:51:24I'm very fortunate.
00:51:25There's not a lot of people that have role models like I have.
00:51:29And, like, I look up to you and Dad.
00:51:32I look up to, like, what true love is.
00:51:35You've set the example of how to love,
00:51:37and that's what I want.
00:51:41This dress is fire!
00:51:43I feel like this has been a rollercoaster ride,
00:51:47and along the way, I've just trusted the process,
00:51:49and the things are aligning.
00:51:51I've got Ollie.
00:51:52I've got a loving family.
00:51:54I mean, have you seen my dress?
00:51:55I'm ready to get married to anyone.
00:51:57No, I'm joking.
00:51:58I'm joking, Ollie, don't show that to him.
00:52:00Anyway, it's going to get off me, cos I'm sweating,
00:52:02and you lot are just making it emotional.
00:52:07So I'm thinking of, like, maybe traditional tuxedo,
00:52:10which is really good.
00:52:11I think the tux is perfect.
00:52:12You can't go wrong with it.
00:52:13Really smart.
00:52:14James Bond.
00:52:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:52:16I wear a frock coat in work,
00:52:17so I don't want anything like that.
00:52:18Nothing long, you know?
00:52:19Stay away from that.
00:52:20Yeah, stay away from that, yeah.
00:52:28Aw!
00:52:32You look beautiful!
00:52:34Wow!
00:52:35Oh, my goodness.
00:52:36Stunning.
00:52:37You look stunning.
00:52:39Are you crying?
00:52:40Yeah.
00:52:41It's beautiful.
00:52:43I'm so happy to be standing here
00:52:46and say, you know, Freddie's the one.
00:52:49He is a life-changer,
00:52:51and he's going to be part of the family, for sure.
00:52:56Today I feel really confident about my wedding day,
00:52:58about getting married, and picking the dress.
00:53:01It's, like, every little girl's dream.
00:53:05How's the relationship going?
00:53:06Literally, I love the girl.
00:53:07She's amazing.
00:53:08I'm so happy I've met her.
00:53:09So we have bickered a little bit.
00:53:11We've raised concerns of each other,
00:53:13but I think that's just normal.
00:53:14That's just being realistic, I think.
00:53:16Can we just rewind on the love?
00:53:18What do you mean?
00:53:19I've never heard you actually say you love anyone.
00:53:21No, OK, so I do love the girl.
00:53:23I do love the girl.
00:53:24That's amazing.
00:53:25Like, she's absolutely unbelievable.
00:53:26Like, I've met the most amazing person.
00:53:28This connection I have is insane.
00:53:30It's just the commitment, like, right now, isn't it?
00:53:32It's massive.
00:53:33I've known Freddie for a long time.
00:53:35He's always someone that's been in relationships
00:53:38and taking his time,
00:53:39but the experiment with Freddie has been really, really good.
00:53:42He's been given a wedding date,
00:53:43and from what he's telling me about Kat
00:53:45and the person she is and how he feels about her,
00:53:47I think they can make it work.
00:53:49Here's to the big day.
00:53:51Thank you, girlies.
00:53:52Cheers.
00:54:01I've got you on my mind again
00:54:04Like a rollercoaster ride
00:54:07I can't stop dreaming of that summer we've had
00:54:10Swimming out against the tide
00:54:12Can't get you out of my mind
00:54:15Here we are.
00:54:17Ingley Spring Yard.
00:54:18Seems pretty perfect for our last big date.
00:54:21It's a picturesque final date spot,
00:54:23and so to share that with Sabrina
00:54:25is really a perfect moment.
00:54:29Give me a kiss.
00:54:32And it's got me feeling good
00:54:35So good
00:54:38This is what we've been talking about since the pods.
00:54:40Day of me whooping your butt.
00:54:42You are writing checks that you cannot cash.
00:54:45I mean, me and Ollie are quite competitive,
00:54:47so ideal date.
00:54:49Arcade is a winner for me.
00:54:51Some days I love you, but guess what?
00:54:53Today is not that day.
00:54:59Oh, look at this.
00:55:00It's so cute.
00:55:02Have you been in a bar before?
00:55:04Um, no.
00:55:06This state setting is phenomenal.
00:55:08Benaiah looks so good too.
00:55:11Us two being together,
00:55:13it just feels really right.
00:55:17Hubby?
00:55:21I know your answer.
00:55:23And it's got me feeling good
00:55:26So good
00:55:28You got me thinking about us
00:55:29You got me feeling so good
00:55:33How are you feeling now then about the wedding?
00:55:36I feel really good.
00:55:37I really do, yeah.
00:55:38How are you feeling?
00:55:39Do you feel, like, any pressure?
00:55:41No.
00:55:42I'm getting all our loved ones in one room
00:55:44and then it's all about us.
00:55:46Sounds like my perfect day, to be honest with you.
00:55:48I honestly think it's going to be so much fun.
00:55:50Like, I think it's going to be, like, one big party.
00:55:53I'll be nervous up until the vows.
00:55:56After that, the shoes are off
00:55:59and the dance moves are coming out.
00:56:01That'll be the first time you see them as well.
00:56:03Mmm.
00:56:04We need to figure out a way to get this to me then
00:56:06before I say yes.
00:56:07Dance moves?
00:56:08I've heard about these legendary dance moves.
00:56:10I've seen some dance moves.
00:56:15I'm excited now.
00:56:16Obviously, the final countdown is on.
00:56:18Mr and Mrs Smith, I honestly think it sounds so good.
00:56:21I'm here for it.
00:56:23Have you been practising your I do's?
00:56:25Really?
00:56:26I do.
00:56:27I do.
00:56:28I do.
00:56:29I do.
00:56:30To see what happens on the day.
00:56:32Oh, God.
00:56:33Scratch his head, take a deep breath.
00:56:37Love you.
00:56:38Love you.
00:56:58This is really hard, innit?
00:57:02What are you making?
00:57:03What are you making?
00:57:04I don't know, I'm just feeling it first.
00:57:06You need to get used to it.
00:57:09Oh, no!
00:57:11That's because I was trying to help you.
00:57:13Look what I've done to my ball.
00:57:16Start again.
00:57:19I've had iPods for, like, ages.
00:57:22It's mad.
00:57:23When I close my eyes and I hear your voice,
00:57:25it brings back so many memories.
00:57:27I still find it mind-blowing.
00:57:29Yeah, it's crazy.
00:57:30I'm confident in it.
00:57:31At the start, I was like, God, this is too good to be true.
00:57:34But now I'm like, it's not.
00:57:38Trying on the dress yesterday, like, it just hit me.
00:57:41Like, this is it.
00:57:43Like, that dress is for you.
00:57:45That dress is for our wedding.
00:57:47When I found the dress, like, my mum's jaw,
00:57:50like, it hit the floor.
00:57:52Like, I'm not even... She couldn't talk.
00:57:54She was just crying her eyes out.
00:57:56And, you know, having Dot there as well,
00:57:58like, it was just amazing.
00:58:00She's so excited.
00:58:01Misha.
00:58:02Good, that's nice to know.
00:58:04You must have been happy, though, cos you were with your friends.
00:58:07Yeah, it was nice to chat to my mates.
00:58:09It was good to chat to Jamie.
00:58:11He did say that he'd never heard me say that I loved somebody before.
00:58:14Which is, I guess, you know, something back of it.
00:58:17Really? Yeah, yeah.
00:58:18You've never...? That's what he said, yeah.
00:58:20He said, I've never heard you say that before, so...
00:58:22Stuff like them little things, like, makes me so happy.
00:58:27It's literally brightened me up already, you know?
00:58:29Like, that's what I need to hear.
00:58:31My love for you has only got deeper.
00:58:33Of course it has.
00:58:34I just want you to have the reassurance,
00:58:36knowing that I love you and, what, the connection we have is real.
00:58:41I just feel lucky that I still wake up to you every day
00:58:44and I'm like, oh, my God, that's Freddie.
00:58:49I wake up and I'm like, don't wake her up, don't wake her up.
00:58:52LAUGHTER
00:59:05Oh, my head.
00:59:10If I lose, I will shave my beard off.
00:59:13You're going to go clean shaven for the wedding?
00:59:15Actually, let's everyone slow down a minute.
00:59:17If I lose, you're going to shave your beard off.
00:59:20LAUGHTER
00:59:26I'm having a blunder, I'm having a blunder!
00:59:30No, hold on, hold on.
00:59:32I came in here not really fully trusting the experiment.
00:59:35I came in here thinking, who knows, we'll see.
00:59:37If nothing else, it'll be a good time.
00:59:39And then, obviously, having met Demi has changed everything.
00:59:42Help me! Help! Help!
00:59:44She's genuinely just a joy to be around.
00:59:46She genuinely just makes the day brighter,
00:59:48like whenever we're cooking in the kitchen together
00:59:50or we're lying in bed, there's never a dull moment.
00:59:52It's always magic, it's always fireworks.
00:59:55Can we calm down, please?
00:59:59I definitely want a lifelong partner,
01:00:01but I want a best friend before that.
01:00:03And looking at Oli, I'm like, yeah, I've found my best friend.
01:00:06Oh, my gosh!
01:00:08Oli just makes me happy and our love has definitely grown deeper.
01:00:13Oli! Oli, sad kiss. Come, let's have a sad kiss.
01:00:16Sad kiss! Where you going? Sad kiss!
01:00:18I want that kind of love and I want that kind of marriage
01:00:20and I want to be able to bring children up into a happy household.
01:00:23Do I think Oli's the person that I could do that with?
01:00:25Yeah, I do.
01:00:42Ah, can I take your bag, babe? Yes, please. Thank you.
01:00:45All right.
01:00:50This is our last date together. I know. Ever.
01:00:53We are literally getting married in a few days.
01:00:56I don't feel...
01:00:59..nervous.
01:01:01Me neither. Yeah.
01:01:03I feel like this is the best I've felt through the whole thing.
01:01:06It's crazy. Sometimes I look at you and I do think,
01:01:09I didn't know you two months ago. Do you?
01:01:11Yeah, this is wild. Yeah.
01:01:16Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:01:18Shall we do a little cheersy-cheers? Yeah.
01:01:20Do you want to do it?
01:01:22Here's to us in the future. Us in the future.
01:01:24Look me in the eye.
01:01:27Oh, that's nice.
01:01:29Mmm. Mmm. That's nice.
01:01:31I'm really looking forward to our wedding day.
01:01:34So am I.
01:01:35How are you feeling about your brother giving you away?
01:01:38I'm so happy because the thing is, when people say,
01:01:40well, who's going to walk you down the aisle when you get married?
01:01:43It would always have been my dad and my brother.
01:01:45Even if my dad was still alive, it would have been dad and Hisham,
01:01:48because that's how important Hisham is to me. Yeah, yeah.
01:01:51I struck gold when I got him as a big brother. He's amazing.
01:01:54Him and my dad are just the best men ever. Mmm. Ever.
01:01:59Obviously, Pops can't be there. Yeah.
01:02:03Which is hard.
01:02:05Erm...
01:02:08Let's make sure we try and celebrate him as much as we can on the day, you know?
01:02:12Yeah.
01:02:15I definitely want to do a speech for him.
01:02:17We should... I have a little place for him at the table.
01:02:20Yeah. Erm...
01:02:24But, yeah, I definitely want to make him known.
01:02:27I am really, really lucky.
01:02:29Like, you know, it risks sounding a bit cheesy,
01:02:31like, I see your beauty in every part of you.
01:02:34I feel like I've learnt so much about myself.
01:02:37The things that I thought I should be ashamed of
01:02:40and, like, the things that I thought, like, that's not normal, like, don't do that.
01:02:44You very much taught me it's OK to be like that,
01:02:47and you sort of welcomed it with both arms.
01:02:50You've definitely helped me a lot.
01:02:52I do feel like we are closer now to marriage than we ever have been.
01:02:56Yeah.
01:02:58I agree. Can't wait to see where it goes with you, you know?
01:03:01No, me too.
01:03:03Love you. Love you.
01:03:07Got lipstick on my face.
01:03:09No, you haven't, actually, this one time in your life you don't.
01:03:15Do you want to have a go at this? OK, let's try, let's try.
01:03:18Right, well... This could be an epic fail.
01:03:21Don't twist that.
01:03:23There we go.
01:03:25I've never been so nervous in my life.
01:03:28Will you be more or less nervous on a wedding day?
01:03:31I think this is the most actually nervous.
01:03:36So, how are you feeling about the big day, though, the wedding day?
01:03:39This side of two years ago, I was like, no.
01:03:42Never again. Never again. Really? Yeah.
01:03:45You're pretty nervous about it.
01:03:47I am. I am.
01:03:49I was like, no. Never again. Never again. Really? Yeah.
01:03:52Your previous marriage shouldn't, like,
01:03:55deter what you think about marriage.
01:03:58So, a relationship that didn't work out should be associated
01:04:01and linked to the person you're with,
01:04:04not marriage as a... As a...
01:04:06..as a commitment or as a sacrament, yeah. Yeah.
01:04:09That's what I struggled to detach from.
01:04:12Benaiah has challenged a lot of my beliefs.
01:04:15Because he's so committed to my growth and his growth,
01:04:20it inspires me to be better
01:04:23and to want to grow for both of us.
01:04:26I think there is something that I feel confident that you bring out in me,
01:04:29which is the ability to be childish and just...
01:04:32Be silly and... Silly, be silly.
01:04:35And I really value that.
01:04:37I'm honestly feeling very, very blessed.
01:04:40When you care about someone, when you love someone,
01:04:43you have their back.
01:04:45So there's no doubt in my mind that, as a married couple,
01:04:48that you'd have my back, you'd be my rock. Aw.
01:04:51And, like, I know I genuinely mean it. I really mean it.
01:04:56I honestly love him so much.
01:04:58When I look at him, I really do see my future.
01:05:01He's incredible.
01:05:03I do love you a lot.
01:05:05I care for you and I protect you.
01:05:07And I'm so excited about us and what the future holds for us.
01:05:12And you're someone very close to my heart.
01:05:15I've been single for 10, 11 years.
01:05:18I've wanted a serious relationship, I've wanted a life partner,
01:05:21but I didn't think I'd find it.
01:05:23Nicole proved me wrong.
01:05:25There's so many qualities that she has
01:05:27which makes me see a very happy future with her.
01:05:29Yeah, I feel pretty lucky at the minute.
01:05:31I love you.
01:05:33But under this dark and agony
01:05:40I'd do it all again
01:05:43I'd do it all again
01:05:46In a heartbeat
01:05:51Wow. Look at that for a view.
01:05:55Looking out now at this city, I'm so excited to be moving here with you
01:05:59and getting to spend my life here. It's just...
01:06:01It's going to be incredible.
01:06:03Being here with you for these past three weeks,
01:06:06for me, it's felt like home already.
01:06:08One thing that I'm certain of is
01:06:11you are everything that I'm looking for
01:06:13in someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with.
01:06:16I can definitely see myself being with you forever.
01:06:19I've always wanted to find a partner that wouldn't make me worry,
01:06:22that didn't make me feel anxious.
01:06:24And I find that feeling in you when I'm with you.
01:06:28You have that silent confidence that I've always looked for.
01:06:31With you, it's just been so easy.
01:06:33We're so comfortable with one another.
01:06:35It does literally feel like we've known each other forever.
01:06:37And I'll do my absolute best to make sure that I am the best man for you
01:06:40so that I can make you the happiest woman in the world
01:06:43because I think you really deserve it.
01:06:45I had to go through this experiment
01:06:48to grow, to realize things about myself
01:06:51in order to be ready for marriage.
01:06:53There's no doubt in my mind that I'm going to have
01:06:55the most amazing future with Bobby.
01:06:57I'm just excited to start it.
01:06:59This love feels right. It feels safe.
01:07:02It feels eternal. That's more than anything.
01:07:05This love feels like I feel like I can spend the rest of my life with you,
01:07:08and there's no doubt.
01:07:11I don't want to cry.
01:07:18Coming into this, I never expected to find somebody
01:07:22or something as special as what I've found.
01:07:25And I feel like the luckiest man in the world, honestly.
01:07:28I love everything about Jasmine.
01:07:30Love, to me, is the most magical feeling in the world.
01:07:33To have come on this experiment and to have found true love
01:07:35is the best thing that could have ever happened to me.
01:07:38I'm so excited to be spending the rest of my life with you.
01:07:40Aww.
01:07:41You're incredible.
01:07:42Thank you, baby.
01:07:43And I love you so much.
01:07:44I love you too.
01:07:53I've got you now, forever.
01:07:55My man.
01:07:56Are you ready for that?
01:07:57Mm-hmm. Are you ready for me?
01:07:59My little firecracker.
01:08:03Wasting time.
01:08:05That's what amazes me.
01:08:11That's what amazes me.
01:08:17That's what amazes me.
01:08:27Today, I make a real big decision.
01:08:30Is it I do, or is it like, I do, but not for now?
01:08:41To a taste of our past, our present, and our future.
01:08:44Cheers.
01:08:46Oh, I'm gonna get really upset.
01:08:47I just don't want to get this last thing I want.
01:08:49You stole my mind and my heart,
01:08:52and now I give you my unconditional love.
01:08:55I know my answer.
01:08:56Don't know hers.
01:08:59I'm in two minds about today.
01:09:01Stressing, questioning, right decision, wrong decision.
01:09:04If I think it's a no,
01:09:06I will not be there to walk down that aisle.
01:09:09I've never loved someone like I loved Tom.
01:09:11I really wish my dad was here.
01:09:14Now is the time for you both to decide if love is right.
01:09:19Mira would be an amazing match for me.
01:09:21There's absolutely no doubt about that.
01:09:23I love you.
01:09:24This journey has meant so much for both of us,
01:09:27I wouldn't have done it with anyone else other than you.
01:09:29I just feel like I can't think straight.
01:09:32Do you take Olly to be your husband?
01:09:35Maybe we're just not right as a couple.
01:09:37We're better as friends.
01:09:39I'm nervous.
01:09:40Of course.
01:09:41I can't keep doing this.
01:09:42It's too emotional today.
01:09:45I will never find a guy like him ever again.
01:09:50I just worry that you are on different pages.
01:09:55The moment I heard your voice,
01:09:57I knew this was going to be special.
01:10:02You'll love your car.
