Love is Blind (Love Is Blind)

Wow.

Hmm.

Wow. Wow.

Wow, wow, wow.

Oh wow.

- I love you so much. - I love you too.

I wanted somebody to love me the way that I've learned to love myself.

She's leaving.

I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna go home.

This isn't my husband, but just somebody on the journey.

I opened the door, and nobody was in there.

She left.

She was gone. She wasn't even there.

- I'm sorry, brother. - Thank you, bro. Like, this…

I'm sorry, man.

You're good, bro. I love you, man.

So fuckin' crazy, bro.

- - Doesn't matter.

These girls, man.

Why would she do that to you?

How that conversation ended yesterday, I don't…

- You're not surprised? - I don't blame her.

I know I'm ready to commit to Brittany for the rest of my life.

I love her for who she is and what she stands for and what she believes in.

Her faith, her loyalty, her energy.

She has such a beautiful soul, and that's what I'm attracted to.

I'm on cloud nine right now.

I am going to be Mrs. Devonta Lee Anderson.

I am in love.

I bought a wedding dress for a reason.

I'm gonna be a wife.

I am engaged to Brittany Elena Wicker.

And I feel amazing.

We talked about popping up to the reunion with a baby.

So we'll see what happens.

We quite literally have zero idea what each other looks like.

I didn't give away the fact that I'm Hispanic.

I kept the Latina in wraps because what's exciting about all of this

is looks literally had nothing to do with it.

I wanted Devonta to know I am beautiful on the inside

and that he fell in love with my inner person.

So why am I nervous?

I don't need to be scared.

But I still am.

- -

- Hello. - Look at you.

- That anticipation. Mm. - Hi.

Oh, well, it's so good to finally see you too.

- It's good to see you. - Mm.

Mm. Mm.

Mm.

Mm. Mm.

Well, I don't wanna make you wait any longer.

- So, Brittany, I'm gonna get on my knee. - Oh.

And I'm gonna ask you if you will marry me.

- Yes, I will. -

All right. Oh gosh, I'm shaking.

It's beautiful.

Just like you.

- Oh my… -

Mm.

- Mm. -

What I was expecting was probably a little bit bigger.

He's shorter than I thought he would be.

Aww, man, I started sweating…

…when it got near. Now I'm nervous.

Baby, you are so sweaty.

He was definitely very sticky.

I did not expect freckles though, so that's a surprise.

He's definitely not somebody that I would probably have gone for.

Out… like, in the bar.

I don't think he's someone that I would have been like, "That's the one."

But… I don't care. I don't care.

I mean, we're all gonna get fat one day anyway.

- Oh man. - You've got red in your beard.

- Yeah. From my mom. - And do you have gray?

- I do. - Look at you.

Like… he's still handsome.

He's very handsome.

I didn't know what color your eyes would be.

- Green, blue, whatever they wanna be. - Greenish blue.

Devonta's eyes are beautiful.

- I hope our kids have your eyes. -

Those are the kind of eyes that are gonna get me pregnant.

Did you have any idea?

- Did you think I was white? - I had no idea.

I fell in love with Brittany. Just so happened that she is a woman of color.

Um, you know, that's something I've never actually dated,

let alone proposed to, get engaged to, so…

You know, that was something that kind of surprised me,

but I fell in love with Brittany because of her heart.

I literally don't think that we would have ever crossed paths any other way.

Yeah, that's so true.

I was very, like, quiet.

If I was out and about, I would just be sitting at the table with my friends.

- That's me. Yeah. Mm-hmm. - Yeah.

I just stay in the house.

I go to work. I go to the gym, go to church.

- Nothing wrong with that. - "How did you expect to find a man?"

- I was like, "I don't know." - Yeah, exactly.

I'm so excited for you to meet my family.

- I'm so excited. - I think they're gonna love you.

- You think so? - Mm-hmm. I really do.

Are they just as goofy as you?

- More. -

- Your lips do complement my lips. - They do.

- They do complement each other. -

You still think I have a nerdy voice?

- Yes, I do. -

- Yeah, right back at you. -

Sure you wanna put up with that?

I will put up with it for the rest of my life.

Oh my gosh. I'm so happy.

I know. I am too.

Seeing my fiancée for the first time, it honestly felt like a dream.

- We're gonna get married. - Yes, we are.

- And have babies. - I know!

Babies are on the way.

Well, I will send you on your way, beautiful.

One for the road.

I'm gonna walk backwards so I can see you the whole time.

- Make sure I don't fall down. -

Tell me if I'm walking out of line.

- You can turn around now. - All right.

- I'll see you. I love you. - I love you.

Oh my goodness.

A ring on my finger.

Crazy.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Shut up.

What am I shutting up to?

- The roses and the cupcake. - Yeah.

Oh my gosh. These are beautiful.

I've been waiting all day to talk to you,

and I've been so nervous out there.

Hearing your voice is making it a lot better.

- I wrote something. - Oh!

- I'm just gonna read this. - Yeah, yeah, read it.

"Dear Michael Christian Gibney, I thought I knew what I--"

- "I thought--" Oh fuck. -

"I thought I knew what I was looking for coming into this journey."

"I needed a strong, confident man who made me laugh,

felt secure and stable and was sure of himself."

"What I didn't know was I would find so much more."

"This journey has been crazy, emotional, life-changing and turbulent."

"But the one consistency I have found is you."

"The consistency of your laugh,

the way I know that we will always have a good day,

the way you have done nothing but build me up."

"I've never had to push or beg or change who I am,

and I've told you so many things, and it all felt so natural."

"I kick myself thinking that I didn't see this sooner,

but this happened so slowly, then all at once."

"And although that made me so scared, I knew it was the right decision."

"You make my heart flutter."

"I've never felt this way before,

but I just feel balanced and calm whenever I'm with you."

"I choose you, and I am in love with you."

That was beautiful. Thank you.

I got a little emotional myself over here.

I couldn't really… be that emotional.

The way that I did come up in my upbringing and the tough love…

…I really have never been this open with anyone else before.

Talking to you, I feel safe. I feel secure.

I don't feel judged.

I feel like you actually listen to me.

And just basically tell me, "I want that man."

- Yeah. - That's all I've ever wanted.

It feels awesome.

So…

Oh God. Oh God.

- Take your time. - Um…

Oh God. All right.

Emma Lee Lou Betsinger, will you marry me?

Yes. Yep.

- Let's go. - A million times, yes.

- Let's go. - Let's go! Oh my God!

I'm really, really, really, really excited.

I am too.

Can't wait.

Bye.

Bye.
