00:00Previously on Love After Lock-Up...
00:03Does your mom know about Ala?
00:06Um, Ala's been in prison for a total of about five years
00:10for possession and distribution of heroin.
00:12She knows, um, a little bit.
00:14Mm-hmm.
00:15You set it up without talking to me!
00:17I don't want a model!
00:18Looks like she hasn't checked in yet.
00:20Think about a relapse, what that could do to you.
00:22Ala, sweetheart, are you in there?
00:24I don't know what's wrong.
00:26She's not warming.
00:28Dude is in prison!
00:30I can't come home to see the kids
00:33because I want to lose this question.
00:35So y'all know, my mom really wants to meet y'all,
00:37and we're just gonna pack up and go to California for the weekend.
00:40Maybe you should try having some kind of a relationship
00:43without your financials being involved.
00:46Will you come here and pick up her?
00:47Elizabeth?
00:48She should be released today.
00:50She's not on...
00:52I'm the biggest trick in the world.
00:56I can't believe you're home.
01:00I don't know.
01:01I'm like the new warden in town.
01:03You tracked him?
01:04Well, yes, but he has no idea.
01:05I love you more anything in the world.
01:07Remember?
01:08Yeah.
01:11We can elope.
01:12Elope?
01:13You want to do what you want to do,
01:14you're gonna do what you want to do anyway,
01:16and I'm done with this !
01:18All righty, today's the day.
01:27Yeah, I'm excited.
01:28Nervous.
01:29My wedding is really important to me.
01:32It's something I've always thought about,
01:34and I always had an idea of what I wanted it to look like.
01:38Nervous?
01:39Yeah, I wasn't expecting us to get married this quickly,
01:42but weddings are expensive,
01:45and, you know, it's just easier to just make it us two.
01:51I asked my friend Dolly if she'd come over
01:53and do my hair for me,
01:54and give me some last-minute support.
01:56Does your family know about it?
01:58No, I haven't told them.
01:59It's a secret?
02:00Mm-hmm.
02:01Oh, my God.
02:02Garrett and I decided to elope
02:04because my dad doesn't believe that we should be getting married.
02:07He proposed to you,
02:08so I'm supposed to think he's Sir Galahad?
02:10The hell's the matter with you?
02:11This is real life.
02:13Today is the day.
02:14My dad has me second-guessing
02:16whether or not Garrett really loves me.
02:18I want to believe that he does,
02:20but it's definitely upsetting
02:21that a lot of people are second-guessing Garrett's motives.
02:27I never could imagine three months ago
02:29when I was sitting with myself
02:30that I'd be here getting ready for my wedding day,
02:32but here I am.
02:35I want to marry Jenna.
02:36She's an amazing woman.
02:37She's just the total package.
02:39She is loyal.
02:41She's loving.
02:42She's very giving.
02:43She wants the best for me.
02:45She wants better for me than I want for myself, so...
02:48My dad, you know,
02:49I think he'll be the one that's most upset.
02:51I'm his only little girl,
02:52and I'm sure he always thought of, like,
02:54walking me down the aisle,
02:55so it sucks that he's not gonna be there.
02:58I think he's gonna be shocked
03:00that I changed my mind
03:01and decided to elope
03:03because, you know,
03:04this isn't what I've always wanted.
03:06Yeah, that's really sad.
03:07I mean, honestly, I'm very unaffected by Jenna's dad.
03:13I feel like I don't really have to prove myself to anybody,
03:17and I think elope is a way to show everyone
03:20that I'm serious about us
03:22and that I want to be with her forever.
03:24So did you find your dress yet?
03:26Yeah, I actually, I don't know,
03:27like, right when I got engaged,
03:28I started buying a bunch of white outfits
03:30for different events.
03:31Right.
03:32So I found this one dress,
03:33I was like, oh, that would be so perfect
03:34for, like, my rehearsal dinner,
03:36but, you know,
03:37now I'm not gonna have a rehearsal dinner,
03:39and I don't want the dress to not ever get worn,
03:41so I'm gonna wear it today.
03:44Right.
03:45And it's hard because I feel like
03:46I've sacrificed a lot already to be with Garrett.
03:48Like, now I don't get a bridal shower,
03:50I didn't get a bachelorette,
03:52like, all the stuff that you look forward to doing,
03:54I am giving it up.
03:56I'm just starting to feel like
03:59this isn't what I want,
04:01this isn't what I deserve.
04:03I don't know if I want to do this.
04:06You are wedding ready.
04:09Yay!
04:10James, sometimes two people find each other,
04:22both with broken foundations,
04:24and they build together as a team
04:25to make a foundation that is indestructible.
04:27Sometimes things fall apart
04:29so others can fall together.
04:30Allah, they had a relapse.
04:32She used again.
04:34Our love is marrow deep,
04:36the kind that becomes a part of your DNA,
04:38that changes you and complete with you.
04:40Allah.
04:42Allah and I started as pen pals 15 months ago.
04:46Letters eventually turned to phone calls,
04:48phone calls turned to visits,
04:50and visits turned into a relationship.
04:52She was my dream girl.
04:56Sometimes, I mean, aren't all nightmares dreams?
05:04Babe, you literally just took a pregnancy test.
05:06I know I did.
05:07Do you want to tell me what happened?
05:08I will tell you.
05:09It's negative.
05:10Things with her health were getting progressively worse,
05:13and her first instinct was she went back to old habits.
05:18She used again.
05:19I don't feel good.
05:21Allah, you're freaking me out.
05:22What's wrong?
05:23Do you have any questions?
05:25She went and talked to her probation officer
05:27and went into treatment,
05:29which I'm proud of her for.
05:31And I gave Chris a call
05:34and, you know, told him that I wanted to stop by
05:37and have some one-on-one time with him
05:39and let him know what's going on.
05:41Oh, .
05:43You've been dying to see her for almost a year.
05:47She gets out, and then, basically, she's gone again.
05:50Doesn't that rock your world?
05:51I'm not trying to get in your business.
05:53No, no, no.
05:54It's things that I'm wondering, too.
05:56Do you have any sense of heroin use, anything, cocaine?
06:00What?
06:01To be honest, I don't really know the specifics of what happened,
06:05but Allah was struggling with things and stresses,
06:08and I think that, for her, the easiest way to cope
06:10was to get high.
06:11You know, you probably thought I was being
06:14a little too direct or nosy a few weeks back.
06:17What'd she say?
06:18The reason she's acting funny is because
06:20she might be knocked up?
06:21What are you insinuating?
06:23I'm insinuating maybe picking up a bag
06:26and knocking out one.
06:28But I was a little concerned.
06:30Maybe part of me was, too,
06:32and maybe I was in denial about it, you know?
06:34I know different people act different ways
06:36when they use, you know.
06:39With Allah at the time, it was, even though it was like
06:41right there in front of me, it was kind of difficult to see.
06:43But now in hindsight, everything looks a little bit clearer.
06:46Do you think since the day you got her with her mother out of prison,
06:51her behavior changed? Did that span or no?
06:53Yeah, absolutely. For sure.
06:55I don't understand how somebody could be sober over 15 months,
06:59get out of prison, have the whole world handed to them on a platter,
07:02and, you know, you've got a loving partner, you've got a home,
07:04you've got a support system, you've got all this,
07:07and, you know, you kind of decide to piss it away.
07:10But I know that's not really the right way to look at it.
07:13Where would you go next?
07:14I mean, I support her, and I love her, and I want her to get well,
07:16and she wants to get well, and I think it's an uphill battle,
07:19you know, for her.
07:21Everybody's got their own demons and their own challenges, you know?
07:24If you went for 10 months not seeing her,
07:26to be able to hang with her briefly, to her being gone again,
07:28was that what you were expecting?
07:30You think what you got out, you'd be able to spend the rest of your life with her?
07:32I mean, that was the whole, that was the ideal...
07:34But things happen, you know?
07:35Right.
07:36You can't plan for everything.
07:37All right.
07:38So, really, you don't give a **** about what happened or what could happen.
07:42It's...
07:43I mean, yeah, you can keep ruminating on the past, and, you know,
07:45if you keep looking in the rearview mirror,
07:47you're not going to see what's in front of you, you know?
07:49So...
07:55We got to drive for an hour to this beach?
07:57Yeah.
08:02How much of California actually looks like this?
08:04It gets worse.
08:05It does get worse.
08:06This is not the hood.
08:07This is not the hood at all.
08:09When you see the hood, to you, to the city,
08:12it's going to be like a third world country.
08:15Man, they need to get over.
08:16They see me coming, so they need to get over.
08:19Get over?
08:20What y'all do?
08:21Y'all see me coming?
08:22Do you see how many car crashes happened on the freeway?
08:25We looked yesterday.
08:26Yeah, they do have a lot of crashes out here.
08:30I'm glad y'all came out here, man.
08:32It's a blessing.
08:33We got you.
08:35I'm sitting in the car, and I'm thinking, like,
08:38I love the feeling of just having my people here,
08:40my family, the kids.
08:43But I have a secret that I didn't know how to tell them.
08:46Lamar, can you tell me some convict stories?
08:48Have you ever got shanked?
08:49I don't know.
08:50Drop the soap in the shower?
08:51Drop the soap in the shower?
08:53Drop the soap in the...
08:54So far, these kids are not having it, with Lamar being their new stepdad.
09:02Have you ever gotten stabbed?
09:03No, I've never been stabbed.
09:04I done got shot.
09:05You got shot.
09:06I got shot by the guards in a riot.
09:10I know it's a lot to take on, but I need them to start building a bond with him, because they have a new parent.
09:20And after we get married, bam, we're going to be together as a family in Utah.
09:27It's a very different lifestyle in L.A.
09:31Mom, you really want me to learn how to drive out here.
09:32Hey, but if you learn how to drive out here, you can drive anywhere.
09:35That's true, yeah.
09:36I can't wait until we get back to Utah, and my kids can be in the environment they deserve to be in.
09:44You don't like it out here, Tennyson?
09:46I mean, it's nice, it's just...
09:53They think it's just a weekend, but I'm sitting there wondering how I'm going to tell her that I can't come to Utah,
10:01and I had to try to convince her to come out, you know, and move to California with me and bring the kids.
10:07I love going to the city, and I love leaving it.
10:09Put it that way.
10:13I don't like to hear you cry. I don't want you to tear me break down.
10:17Three months ago, I relapsed. I went into a really dark place.
10:22I'm just a horrible mom.
10:25Nyla! I'm trying to talk to you!
10:31Dominic and I decided, spur of the moment, to tie the knot on a boat downtown Toronto.
10:42Are you going to be ready to go soon?
10:44Yeah, I'll be ready soon. It doesn't take long to get ready.
10:47We're doing it our own way and keeping it really intimate.
10:50It's just going to be me, Dom, and our dog, Stella.
10:53I chose to get married on a boat because it just reminds me of being a little bit more free and just away from all the ****.
11:05I know you don't really want to say vows.
11:08Yeah, just the personal vows.
11:11So you're fine with saying the vows that they tell you to say?
11:14Yeah.
11:15Because I don't think you can get married without saying any vows.
11:19It's been a rough road.
11:20Dom and I have been through so much in the last six years.
11:23I just feel like I've been waiting a really long time for you and it's like, not even worth it.
11:29If you're saying that to me, I would rather just walk away, you know? It's just annoying the **** out of me.
11:33But Dominic and I have weathered the storm.
11:36I still love you and I still want to get married and everything.
11:40Come here.
11:44And if we can get through him being in prison, we can get through anything.
11:49How does this look?
11:51You look good.
11:53I have been planning my wedding basically since me and Dom first met.
11:57Let's go, baby. This way. This way.
11:59Come on.
12:00But with all Dom's parole restrictions, he doesn't want to do the kind of wedding I want to do.
12:06But at this point, I am happy just to marry Dominic in any way that makes sense.
12:11And if he wants a smaller wedding, then I'm happy with that.
12:15I feel like dressing up and getting married today.
12:18I'm wearing a fur.
12:20I'm feeling a little nervous today because getting married is a huge deal.
12:26But Mary stood by me the whole time I was in prison.
12:28So the least I could do is give her what she wants.
12:32Let's go.
12:34Stop pulling so hard.
12:38Dominic used to be a little bit more affectionate before he went to prison.
12:41And, you know, now I'm starting to worry that Dom doesn't actually want to get married and he's just doing this to make me happy.
12:47It's Waldo here.
12:50Right now, now that I'm here, everything's really overwhelming.
12:54I want to be married to Mary, but I guess I'm still nervous about doing this.
13:00Oh, God.
13:01Come on, Priscilla.
13:02Come on.
13:04I'm going to go in the water and come right back.
13:06Okay.
13:07Woo!
13:08This is so nice!
13:09I know, right?
13:10Woo!
13:11Priscilla!
13:12You having fun?
13:13I'm having mixed emotions.
13:14I'm having fun.
13:15I'm feeling good.
13:16But I'm also feeling bad.
13:17You know what I'm saying?
13:18Because I ain't been honest.
13:19And now it's time, the moment of truth, you know?
13:22I'm worried, like, is she going to stay or am I going to lose the woman that's been down with me for so long?
13:27Because I know it's a hard choice and it's not an easy choice.
13:29I can't even touch my hair, babe.
13:30Look at all this sand.
13:31I got it all over me.
13:32Oh.
13:33Oh.
13:34Oh.
13:35Oh.
13:36Oh.
13:37Oh.
13:38Oh.
13:39Oh.
13:40Oh.
13:41Oh.
13:42Oh.
13:43Oh.
13:44Oh.
13:45Oh.
13:46Oh.
13:47Oh.
13:48Oh.
13:49Oh.
13:50Oh.
13:51Oh.
13:52Oh.
13:53Oh.
13:54Oh.
13:55Oh.
13:56You know something else about me coming out there?
14:01I can't come out there.
14:02Where? Out there in the water?
14:04No, to Utah.
14:07What do you mean?
14:08It's a little longer than you.
14:10How long?
14:12It was a couple years.
14:14So you can't be a family with us? Is that what you're saying?
14:19I could be a family with you, but I just can't be in Utah.
14:22So how are we going to be a family?
14:24Are you moving out of here?
14:26No, no, no.
14:29Who told you that?
14:30My parole officer.
14:33California's not letting me leave, so they want me in L.A. County.
14:38They specifically said that you can't leave L.A. County.
14:41Specifically said?
14:42Your probation.
14:43Parole.
14:44Parole.
14:45So if you want to be a whole family, you only have one choice, it's to be...
14:49Of course I want a whole family. Why wouldn't I want a whole family?
14:52I'm not saying you don't want one.
14:53I'm just telling you only have one choice.
14:56That is not going to work. That is not going to work.
15:00In California, seven out of ten those released from prison is back within the first few years.
15:08I did 18 years in prison.
15:09I'm not going to risk my parole or anything for anyone.
15:13I got too much to lose.
15:14We could create a life anywhere.
15:16It don't matter.
15:17The whole point is to be together.
15:19And if I can't be with you, then we, you know what I'm saying, you're supposed to come to me.
15:24That's just bottom line.
15:25So you may still be messing up my life.
15:28I'm not, I mean, that's how you look at it.
15:30Yeah, that's pretty much how I look at it.
15:32Please don't do this to me.
15:36At this point, I'm thinking that my daughter Priscilla made it into the One Voice Children's Choir, which is a huge accomplishment at the age of five.
15:50And taking her away from that.
15:52My son and him going to high school and not being a part of that anymore.
15:56And my daughter's dance team.
15:59Look at these kids.
16:01I've worked so hard to raise them.
16:04It don't look like they have a problem coming out here.
16:06They're good kids.
16:08Now I got to move them out here so they can learn how to be gangbangers.
16:13I'm messing up my kids' life because I fell in love with an inmate.
16:17Asking my kids to leave everything that they know in our Mormon community because mommy found love and is engaged makes me feel selfish.
16:31It's just hard.
16:33I didn't sign up for this.
16:34I never decided my whole life that I was going to move to California.
16:37I feel like that's what you want, so you stay in there.
16:41Why would I lie to you?
16:43I don't know.
16:43Why would you?
16:45I can't.
16:46You know what I'm saying?
16:47There's nothing else I can do about it.
16:49I'm not going back to prison.
16:49It's like I'm always saying with these bombs after bombs after bombs.
16:53I'm a bomb.
16:53This is going to...
16:54No.
16:54Something after something after something.
16:56Like, is this how it's going to be?
17:08Izzy is the only person I've really dated in 10 years.
17:11We are engaged, and I financially support her 100%.
17:16But now, I'm scared because I don't know when she's getting out.
17:21Izzy's new charges are possession of contraband and possession of a cell phone.
17:27She could be facing up to 12 more years, so she doesn't know.
17:30If you haven't told her, and you're just now finding out, I'm sure she doesn't know the gravity of the situation.
17:36I'm really scared about mine and Lizzy's future.
17:3912 years is a long time.
17:41That's forever.
17:43I'll be 62 years old.
17:45She'll be 52.
17:46I have to break the news to her.
17:50I can't sugarcoat it.
17:51I just got to tell her.
17:52I am extremely nervous.
18:00An inmate at San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
18:04Hi, honey.
18:04I've been trying to call you for the past 10 minutes.
18:07I know.
18:09I got some bad news.
18:14It looks like you could be facing 8 to 12 years on the possession charge.
18:25I know you have some problems.
18:29You know, you're telling me, okay, you messed up, you slipped.
18:31And then it's, it's just, uh, hearing Lizzy really cry is killing me.
18:41She's scared.
18:42Bottom line.
18:51I know, just...
18:52I know, just...
19:01Just take a deep breath.
19:03I mean...
19:04I don't like to hear you cry, and I don't want...
19:08I don't want you to hear me break down.
19:10Because someone has to be strong, and, you know...
19:13I know.
19:14I'll be strong for you.
19:16I know.
19:18I know.
19:27I know.
19:28If he really loved me and wanted me to be happy, he wouldn't...
19:57be letting me go through with this.
20:00Right.
20:01Librarian look.
20:03All right!
20:04I'm just a horrible mom.
20:07Naila!
20:08I'm trying to talk to you!
20:17Let's go.
20:17We've been through so much together in the last six years, and I'm so excited that I finally
20:28get to marry Dominic, but he seems really paranoid, and I'm starting to worry that Dom doesn't
20:34actually want to get married, and he's just doing this to make me happy.
20:37Oh, God.
20:38Hello!
20:39Hello!
20:40Hello!
20:41Mary!
20:42Tom!
20:43Oh, good on.
20:44Oh, good on.
20:45And Stella's here, too.
20:46Hi, Stella!
20:47Okay.
20:48I think committing to someone is sticking with them through the good times and the bad times,
21:00and just loving them for who they are no matter what.
21:03So, Mary, as you look into Dom's eyes, I ask you, do you take Dom to be your husband through
21:13all the days of your life?
21:19I do.
21:19And Dom, as you look into Mary's eyes, I ask you, do you take Mary to be your wife through
21:26all the days of your life?
21:27I want to marry Mary because that's who I want to spend my life with, and I love her.
21:34To love her, honor her, through this day, and for all days to come.
21:39I do.
21:40Mary, if you'd repeat after me, Dom, with this ring I marry you.
21:46Dom, with this ring I marry you.
21:48And join my life to yours.
21:50And join my life to yours.
21:53Mary, with this ring I marry you.
21:55And join my life to yours.
21:57It's beautiful.
21:58Dom and Mary, I do now, by virtue of the authority vested in me, pronounce you husband and wife,
22:04and invite you to seal your commitment with a kiss.
22:07Congratulations to the children!
22:12Dom!
22:13My future with Dom, I see moving into a house, eventually having kids, and hopefully putting
22:24this whole prison nightmare behind us.
22:27It feels amazing knowing now that Mary is my wife.
22:32I feel happy knowing that there's someone there that's going to be with me through everything.
22:36What do y'all do?
22:37Well, if I'm all dressed up, I might as well go somewhere.
22:41I didn't just put on a cocktail dress to stand on a boat and marry you for nothing.
22:46I'm celebrating.
22:47I'm pretty sure we can find a good school for the kids, good dance places.
23:02Lamar just dropped the bomb that he is not able to leave LA for two years.
23:08I don't know what to do.
23:09You don't want to come out here?
23:10What?
23:11And be a family?
23:12Of course I want to be a family.
23:13Don't act like I don't want to be a family.
23:16You got to understand my whole life is going to change.
23:19You know what I'm saying?
23:20But it's going to change for the best stuff.
23:22Are you sure about that?
23:23You can't promise me that.
23:24We always are good.
23:26I got a lot to think about.
23:28The whole idea of moving to California is stressing me out.
23:35Am I going to lose him if I don't move to California?
23:41It feels like moving to LA is the only option at this point.
23:45So, here's the thing.
23:48I want to make it clear to you that if I'm going to move out here, you're going to marry
23:54me.
23:55You're going to make me your wife.
23:56You understand that?
23:57Yeah.
23:58If you move out here, I'm going to marry you guys.
23:59I'm going to marry you.
24:00Seriously.
24:01You're going to be with me.
24:04We're going to be a family.
24:05You're my wife.
24:06I want a wedding and to get married before I move out here.
24:09Yeah.
24:10I want to become a wife.
24:12You will.
24:13Because if I become a wife and me and you make a covenant with God, it's my duty to be
24:18with you.
24:19Okay.
24:20Okay.
24:21Well, we'll tell the kids that we're moving to California.
24:24You really going to move?
24:25Yes.
24:26Yes.
24:27I promise.
24:28I feel like Lamar and I need to get married ASAP, mainly so we can be a family and live
24:34together.
24:35And I also deserve to be an honest woman.
24:38Listen, y'all got to come up here.
24:40I got to talk to y'all.
24:41Sit down, babe.
24:42We got to talk.
24:43It's freezing.
24:44Can we do it in the car?
24:45We'll be able to concentrate.
24:46Well, you guys just stand right here.
24:48Let's go.
24:49It's cold.
24:50You can just tell us here.
24:51Okay.
24:52Listen, we're moving to California for two years.
24:54What?
24:55No.
24:56Yes.
24:57No.
24:58I have all my friends in Utah.
25:01You still have friends in Utah.
25:02Hey, Nyla.
25:03Nyla!
25:04I'm trying to talk to you.
25:05Nyla!
25:06It's just difficult.
25:07Is Lamar worth me just giving up everything that I've created and that me and my kids
25:24have worked hard for?
25:25Why are you just running off, dude?
25:27Because I don't want to talk to her.
25:28All she's going to say is we're moving to California.
25:33We're getting married and we're going to be a happy family.
25:36And I need you to be a supportive daughter.
25:38How am I going to be supportive?
25:40I'm the best thing that ever happened to you.
25:46I'm just a horrible mom.
25:49Period.
25:51Just...
25:52Oh, my God.
26:06Glad you made it.
26:07My son Cody's coming over today.
26:16I'm not certain as to how he will react to how old Tony is.
26:33How old is Tony again?
26:35Tony's 32, son.
26:37He's that much younger than you?
26:40Does that trip you out or what?
26:42I mean, how would you feel if I dated someone that was your age?
26:46I can see where you would have your, uh...
26:50You probably need an older woman.
26:52She's probably wiser.
26:53You think so?
26:54Yeah.
26:55I mean, I can't complain.
26:56I mean, whatever makes you happy.
26:57He is kind of young.
26:58Yeah.
26:59Tony has no money on his account.
27:12Phone bill.
27:13Tony's allowance is about $200 a month.
27:16But I will send him extra if I feel that he deserves it or needs it.
27:21Sweet baby Tony.
27:22I love taking care of Tony.
27:24But I get frustrated sometimes because of the financial burden.
27:28This is what I have left.
27:29Big $40.
27:37Tony and I still don't know when his new release date is.
27:40Sometimes it feels like Tony will never get out of prison.
27:43I'm so tired of waiting.
27:46But I know they're not going to keep him forever.
27:49The most stressful thing about planning a wedding at the last minute is going forward with
28:10a wedding in a totally different state.
28:12And I don't even want to do it to tell you the truth.
28:15Yo fiancee want to do it.
28:16I want to massage mommy's hands.
28:18So I'm in a full panic mode.
28:21Because now that I am in LA, this is Lamar's domain.
28:26His family is so different.
28:28I'm not trying to be funny.
28:30I thought our family had problems.
28:32We look like the Huxtables compared to them.
28:35I don't really talk to her when she gets stressed out.
28:38Hey, I got a big problem.
28:39What's the most important part of my wedding other than to dress?
28:42The shoes, right?
28:43My shoe designer saying that she might not be able to bring the shoes.
28:48Oh, wow.
28:49Shoes are everything to me.
28:51I love shoes.
28:52And I found these shoes.
28:54They were like $3,000.
28:55And I found a designer that would make them for less than a third of that price.
29:04Oh, Andrea?
29:05Hello, Andrea?
29:06Hey, girl.
29:07Unfortunately, I don't think I can make it out there with your shoes.
29:12I'm so sorry.
29:13Do you have any backups?
29:14No, I don't have any backups.
29:15Oh, my goodness.
29:16I'm so, so sorry.
29:17I don't have any backups.
29:21What happened?
29:22There's just some personal matters and I just can't make it.
29:25I'm so sorry, Andrea.
29:26These shoes are the reason why I'm getting married.
29:29Look at me.
29:30Can you just please talk to your mom and tell her you sorry for what she going through and just go through it tomorrow?
29:36No, I can't.
29:38If I don't have these shoes, I'm not getting married.
29:41We can't cancel this day.
29:42You know I had to move mountains to get here.
29:44Tomorrow and Andrea's wedding day.
29:47Good luck to them.
29:50There's a lid to every pot.
29:52If I don't get my shoes, we're not getting married.
29:54Yeah, you are.
29:55No, we're not.
29:56Well, then somebody need to get me home now, for real.
29:58Okay, well, you might as well go.
30:00I love her, but I do want to shank her right now.
30:04Do you care about my shoes?
30:06Do you care about my shoes?
30:08Where the shoes are?
30:09I'm trying to figure out my shoe situation.
30:12Do you care about my shoes?
30:13You don't?
30:14That's the problem.
30:15Well, why are you in here then?
30:17This is the highlight of my credit.
30:20I'm not getting married if I don't have these shoes.
30:22You getting cold feet?
30:34Nah, baby.
30:35No, I'm ready.
30:37Garrett and I decided to elope, and honestly, I'm really excited, but part of me is still
30:42like, why, like, is he doing this for the right reasons?
30:47I want my family there, and I'm really sad that they're not going to be there to witness
30:51me marrying the man who I'm going to be spending the rest of my life with.
30:55I'm nervous, but I feel good about this decision.
30:58She's the woman who stood by my side for four and a half years when no one else did.
31:02I'm hoping by eloping with Jonna that not only will it show her that I love her, I'm committed
31:07to marrying her.
31:08I love her.
31:09I love her.
31:10I love you.
31:11But also, show her family that I'm really committed to Jonna, and I'm not just some lucha
31:15felon.
31:16Life is funny sometimes.
31:18Just two, three months ago, I was sitting in a cell in my prison blues, and now I'm on
31:23the hot beach in a tux, about to get married.
31:27I really did put a lot of effort into making our beach elopement very special for Jonna.
31:37I definitely always thought that in the moments before my wedding, I'd be really excited,
31:48surrounded by my best friends, drinking mimosas, definitely not getting ready in a restaurant
31:55bathroom.
31:56Those are your flowers.
31:59They're pretty.
32:00How are you feeling?
32:02I just can't believe that I'm getting ready for my wedding day in a bathroom.
32:09Yeah.
32:10Just not what every little girl dreams of.
32:13You know, at first I was thinking of what he was doing as sweet.
32:15He was telling me that we could just get married tomorrow, we don't need anyone's approval.
32:19But now, as I stand here in this bathroom, in my wedding dress, it's not even a glamorous
32:24bathroom.
32:25I'm like, if he really loved me and wanted me to be happy, he wouldn't be letting me go
32:32through with this.
32:33Right.
32:34I'm seriously having second thoughts about marrying Garrett.
32:39I feel like it's selfish of him to suggest eloping instead of having a big wedding that
32:46I want, just because it's easier for him.
32:49It's not like me to get cold feet, but I'm not excited for our wedding.
33:06I had to tell Lizzie that she could be facing up to 12 years.
33:14Hearing Lizzie really cry is killing me.
33:17Are you just gonna wait for me?
33:20If Lizzie gets another 12 years, I'm gonna be devastated.
33:24I don't know if I could do this.
33:30So, you know, I got you.
33:32Don't worry about it.
33:33Babe, I love you.
33:34I love you so much.
33:35Thank you for standing by my side, and thank you.
33:39I love you.
33:40You're gonna get out.
33:42Okay, I'll be joining me.
33:43I know.
33:44Just hang in there, okay?
33:46Just, like, hang in there, okay?
33:48Uh-huh.
33:49Okay.
33:51I'll stay around.
33:52I made the commitment.
33:54Okay.
33:55Love you.
33:56I love you.
33:57Bye.
33:58Bye.
33:59I love how I wanna be with Lizzie is gonna happen.
34:01I promised her, and I will not make a promise if I know I cannot keep it.
34:06Hey, my baby!
34:12My baby!
34:18My friend Brenda is one of my most dependable friends.
34:21Do you like that?
34:22Yes, I bet it's sexy on you.
34:24Yeah, I'm dying to wear it.
34:26I can count on her when I really can't count on anyone else.
34:30There you go.
34:31Oh, you look like a secretary.
34:34Come on with it.
34:35Librarian look.
34:37All right!
34:38I've asked Brenda to take some cute photos of me so that I can send in to Tony.
34:42Put your leg up on me.
34:44Okay.
34:46I'm with it.
34:49Oh, yeah.
34:50That is so cool.
34:52These photos that I'm sending Tony are by far the sexiest he's ever seen me look.
34:57He is going to love those.
34:58Those were sexy pictures.
35:01Wow.
35:03You said it wasn't going to do all that.
35:05I've been wanting to see you and kind of fill you in on what's been happening with me and Tony.
35:09Well, I've been worried about you.
35:11Yeah, I've been getting stressed.
35:12Let me fill you in.
35:13You know, he was supposed to get out the other day.
35:16All right.
35:17I went to Jackson to meet him at the bus station, and he didn't show.
35:22No, I haven't heard from him.
35:23He is a convict, so it could have been all game from the beginning.
35:29Yeah.
35:30God.
35:31Brenda spent some time in prison, so she's very understanding of why I am so committed to this relationship.
35:38I know you know how these con games work.
35:42I do.
35:43I had a couple of sugar daddies.
35:47I started writing them letters, telling them that they were the one.
35:52They were the one, and we were going to live a happy life.
35:56And when I did get out, one of them did come and pick me up.
36:02It was nighttime, and by morning, I was on the highway hitchhiking.
36:10Because I didn't mean anything, I wrote.
36:15I just said it because I needed to be taken care of while I was in there.
36:25I would say 90% of the inmates that are in prison are using people because they're so lonely, and they need somebody to tell them, I love you.
36:37I'm going to be with you when I get out.
36:40I'm going to take care of you.
36:41When they get out, they're gone.
36:44And they never see them.
36:46I'm not a fool.
36:47You know that.
36:47I know you're not.
36:48I'm not a fool.
36:49I know.
36:50So he can't fool me, as long as I know what the outcome could be.
36:55There's definitely something romantic about dating someone in prison.
36:59Love always wins, baby.
37:01It does.
37:02I'm looking very forward to my future with Tony.
37:05Of course, I have my doubts that it will be the fairytale romance.
37:10Most relationships come with problems.
37:12I'm sure ours will, too.
37:14But I am aware of that and ready for that.
37:19Thank you for your love.
37:24But please don't make me go through with this.
37:26I have not met Lamar.
37:29I see a couple black guys around, but I don't know which one is what.
37:39Last few months have had their challenges for Allah and me.
37:42But my hope is that any time we go through any challenge, it makes us stronger.
37:52Hey, Eve.
37:53Three months ago, I relapsed.
38:02I almost lost myself.
38:05You hungry?
38:06Yeah.
38:07I'm hungry to get you a slice.
38:07I underestimated the fact that I was vulnerable.
38:16I had everything I wanted for the first time in my life.
38:19But I went into a really dark place, and I still don't understand why.
38:25I went into treatment.
38:28Perfect.
38:29That is ongoing.
38:32The future, there's a lot of unknowns, but we don't have plans to get married anytime soon.
38:39We might not know everything to do going forward, but we know what not to do.
38:43We do know what not to do.
38:45It's been a roller coaster, and it's definitely not over.
38:59Can I please say something?
39:01Today is about me.
39:02It's my wedding day.
39:04One, don't nobody ask me questions.
39:06That's one of the rules.
39:07Second, don't tell me about your personal problem.
39:10If your mama died, if your daddy died, if somebody died,
39:14that's not my business.
39:16Tell me after my wedding.
39:17If you get shot, wrap it up so it won't show.
39:21Doing my wedding, and then after the wedding, we will hurt and mourn together.
39:25So do you care about us?
39:27Not on my wedding day.
39:28No, I don't.
39:29Oh.
39:29I just want to be the perfect bride.
39:32She just want to be beautiful and pretty for me.
39:37We can get ready.
39:40Me and my boys, we trying to get dressed up with our little tuxedos and things.
39:45I've never wanted to touch the scene on my whole life.
39:50You know how to do your time?
39:58No, I don't do it.
40:00Right here.
40:01You want a copy now?
40:02No, I do do it.
40:03Okay.
40:04How you feeling?
40:05You nervous?
40:06A little bit.
40:06A little bit?
40:08You got the worst for wisdom for me?
40:10Try not to overbear, Mom.
40:13This is going to be her thing.
40:14And if you talk too much, you might get mad.
40:17You're a wise man.
40:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:20It was a good moment that we shared because we don't really have a lot of conversations
40:24like that.
40:25I feel like the president.
40:26Thank you, bro.
40:27Innocent.
40:28You know, I know he used to being the man of the house, but he accepted me with open
40:32arms and he was real cool about it.
40:35But yeah, that's my boy right there.
40:37I have not met Lamar.
40:46I see a couple of black guys around, but I don't know which one is what.
40:51And I smelled marijuana, so I'm sure those are his friends.
40:58Andrea's always concerned about our families mixing and matching.
41:02Hey, how you doing, AJ?
41:03Hello.
41:03But me, I don't judge her mom and friends being different or anything like that.
41:08They call me Dulo, so if you hear the name Dulo, they're talking about me.
41:12I'm so happy for you.
41:15I'm not.
41:16Oh, why?
41:17Everything is just messing up.
41:18What's happening?
41:19My designer might not be able to bring the shoes.
41:23So, what's her problem?
41:24I don't care.
41:25That's the only thing I'm excited about.
41:27My shoes.
41:28It's all about the shoes.
41:29What's going on with mom?
41:36She nervous.
41:37She's getting her hair and makeup done still.
41:39You trust me?
41:40Not really, because you don't even have a flat iron.
41:43I hear the guests are getting antsy, and I don't care, really, because they should wait.
41:48I'm the bride.
41:50It's not on their schedule.
41:51It's on mine.
41:53I went up there.
41:53She's not dressed.
41:54I don't know if my husband's ever going to trust me again to bring him to a black wedding
41:59with a certain kind of crowd that seems to kind of drama at their own speed.
42:08Bang!
42:09What's going on?
42:10Y'all bringing me problems?
42:11Why you don't have on your dress already when all these people have been waiting all this
42:14time?
42:15I can't brush my hair and makeup.
42:17For two hours?
42:18Get out of here.
42:19Get out of here.
42:20Oh, God.
42:21Look beautiful.
42:26Like a little prince, like a little queen.
42:28You know what I mean?
42:29I love you.
42:34It hasn't been like four hours?
42:35Right.
42:36That's three hours.
42:38Yeah, I ain't got time for this type of ****, man.
42:41Oh, my God!
42:43My baby!
42:44My baby!
42:45My baby!
42:45My baby!
42:46You're having me, my child!
42:48Oh, my gosh!
42:50You are amazing!
42:52Oh, you're wonderful!
42:54Thank you!
42:55Oh, my gosh!
42:57What is going on?
42:59You can't see me!
43:00I'm not looking at you.
43:01What is taking so long?
43:03I'm putting on my shoes!
43:04Your shoes?
43:05How long in Texas you put on shoes?
43:07Look at these shoes.
43:08They're everything.
43:09We've been getting ready since yesterday, though.
43:12Hey, hold on.
43:12Where at the last?
43:14They act like this is a shotgun wedding.
43:16And they're just brushing me.
43:18Yeah, that **** is ****.
43:19She's jeopardizing everything.
43:29It's not like me to get cold feet,
43:31but I'm not excited for our wedding.
43:33We've come so far, just not that long ago.
43:46You know, we were writing letters back and forth,
43:47you know, visitation,
43:49and now we're together, you know,
43:51and we're about to get married.
43:53This is the start of our life.
43:56For years, I've pictured this moment
44:01walking towards Garrett
44:02while he waits for me at the end of the aisle.
44:05But this just is not how I pictured this.
44:12I don't feel well.
44:13Get out of here.
44:21Get out of here.
44:22Oh, God.
44:23Yo, I'm really frustrated at Andrea, man,
44:25and it's been, like, hours of waiting on her.
44:27Yeah, that **** is ****.
44:29But if I can wait 18 years,
44:31I can wait a few more minutes.
44:33I've only had a couple of weeks
44:40to put a wedding together in L.A.
44:43It has been crazy.
44:45But now that it's finally happening,
44:47there are so many emotions.
44:50I see a white dress.
45:09I'm nervous.
45:10I'm freaking out.
45:11I'm freaking out.
45:12I can't breathe.
45:15I'm standing here at the altar
45:17in the anticipation.
45:18I'm just waiting for Andrea to step outside.
45:29No.
45:31Okay.
45:32Okay.
45:33Wait a minute.
45:33Let me breathe.
45:34Let me breathe.
45:34Let me breathe.
45:35Okay?
45:38Okay, Mary.
45:40It's crazy.
45:42She's walking out there,
45:44and she got the veil on,
45:45so I can't see her.
45:46And I'm looking at her.
45:47It's beautiful.
46:00You may be seated.
46:01Can I kiss you already?
46:03No, not yet.
46:05It is with great pleasure
46:06that we gather here today
46:08to witness and to celebrate
46:09the marriage of Andrea and Lamar.
46:12Now, Lamar, repeat these words to her.
46:17I, Lamar.
46:18I, Lamar.
46:19Take you, Andrea.
46:20Take you, Andrea.
46:21To be my wife.
46:23To be my wife.
46:24To love you faithfully
46:25through the difficult and easy.
46:27Through the difficult and easy.
46:29And to cherish your love.
46:30To cherish your love.
46:31Today, tomorrow, and forever.
46:34Today, tomorrow, and forever.
46:36Now, Andrea.
46:39I, Andrea.
46:39Don't say difficult.
46:41Sorry?
46:41Don't say difficult.
46:42Just let it.
46:43Okay.
46:44Just do you.
46:46Yeah, it's just, it's got to...
46:47Hey, hey.
46:48Frayer.
46:49Are you ready?
46:50You can't kiss me yet.
46:53You have to wait.
46:56We'll get to the honeymoon real soon.
46:58Now, repeat after me, Andrea.
47:00I, Andrea.
47:01I, Andrea.
47:02Take you, Lamar.
47:03Take you, Lamar.
47:04To be my wedded husband.
47:06To be my wedded husband.
47:07With the promise to love you faithfully.
47:09To love you faithfully.
47:10Through the best and the worst.
47:12Through the best and the amazingness of it all.
47:15And to cherish your love.
47:17And to cherish our love.
47:18Today.
47:19Today.
47:20Tomorrow.
47:20Tomorrow.
47:21And forever.
47:21And forever.
47:23You are so perfect.
47:24You are so perfect.
47:24You really are.
47:25You're like perfect.
47:28I'm just so lucky.
47:30May we have the rings.
47:31I'm the luckiest.
47:32person.
47:46By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you, husband and wife, you may now kiss your beautiful
47:54bride.
47:54Come fresh out of prison.
48:19I never thought that I had this moment right here, blessed with all this love and just
48:25a life to come home to, because so many people come to nothing.
48:29And I have my wife and my kids and my family and everybody supporting me.
48:34I just feel bossed up.
48:35I just feel bossed up.
48:36Like, it's just a beautiful day.
48:38Who's carrying your ring?
48:39It's blue because you're a crib.
48:41Oh, it's blue.
48:43It's a blue carry like the tide, man.
48:45I actually think that they're going to make each other very happy.
48:48So, I'm really happy for them.
48:55It's been such a long road and journey because at first I didn't like Lamar really because
49:00I didn't know him and now I'm really open and I feel like we're a big family and really happy.
49:05How pretty.
49:07I love you so much.
49:08I love you too.
49:09I do feel like Lamar and I will be together forever and we're soulmates.
49:15Woo!
49:16I'm excited to see what the life we're going to create for each other.
49:21Arr!
49:22Yeap!
49:31We've come so far.
49:33It's not that long ago.
49:34You know, we were writing letters back and forth, you know, visitation.
49:37And now we're together, you know, and we're about to get married.
49:41This is the start of our life.
49:46You're beautiful.
49:49You look handsome.
49:50You did all this for you?
49:57What's wrong?
50:02I want to marry Garrett no matter what anyone thinks because I believe he's the love of my
50:08life.
50:11I love that you did all this for me.
50:12I just don't know, Garrett.
50:16It's not what I want.
50:20I never thought I'd be getting ready for my wedding in a bathroom and walking down the
50:25aisle without my dad.
50:28None of our friends and family are here.
50:30And I just feel like I'm doing this for you.
50:32And I sacrificed so much while you were locked up.
50:38I just feel like this is for me.
50:40I wanted a big wedding.
50:41I wanted a beautiful dress.
50:43And you look so handsome.
50:45But please don't make me go through with this.
50:51I love you and I want to marry you, but I want to do it right.
50:56That's what you want.
50:58I'm sorry.
51:00I love you.
51:01I love you, okay?
51:03I love you.
51:04And kiss.
51:04What are we doing now?
51:16I guess leave.
51:18Go home.
51:20We're still together.
51:21We're still in love.
51:22We're still happy.
51:24We're just not eloping.
51:27I don't really know where we go from here.
51:28You know, I got turned down at the altar, which is a sucks, you know?
51:33I like my flowers, though.
51:37We can still put them in a vase.
51:39I don't even like flowers.
51:42I never thought I'd say this, but dating Garrett while he was in prison was so much easier
51:47than dating Garrett while he's been home.
52:03We'll see you all, too.
