Love is Blind (Love Is Blind)

O-H!

I-O!

- O-H! - I-O!

Welcome to Love Is Blind!

When I think about the future, you're in it.

- You were made for me. - You could say that.

Oh, you have me smiling ear to ear.

- Yeah, you got the tingly-winglies? - I have the tingly-winglies!

You will finally have a chance to fall in love

based solely on who you are on the inside.

- I love you, Ash. - I love you.

I would love to know if you'd do the honor of being my wife.

- I would love to. -

Will you marry me?

- Yes! -

You'll get engaged,

and then you'll finally see your fiancée for the very first time.

Oh my God.

You look so handsome.

You're gorgeous.

Seeing you, it literally makes it a thousand times better.

This is just the cherry on top, to be honest.

Mm.

Up until now,

your attraction's been based entirely in an emotional connection.

Feels like we've known each other a long time.

Definitely can get used to this, Amber.

Hopefully, you turn that emotional connection

into a physical one.

I feel like you've been a little distant.

Sometimes, I feel like I need to be in my nothing box.

We haven't been intimate, and you know physical touch is very important to me.

Are you not attracted to me?

Will looks, race, lifestyle

or insecurities tear them apart in the real world?

- Think we have a good physical connection? - I do.

I just don't know if it's, like, there for me.

I don't like that you don't tell me I'm pretty.

- I don't know if you're attracted to me. - You're forcing me.

Now I don't feel like it's genuine if I say anything.

- You both want children, right? - For me, I am on the fence.

If we get married and then we have a kid,

and you resent that, I could never live with that.

Do you still have a relationship with any ex?

Yes. Saw her in Austin for a week.

What was that dynamic when you visited her then?

I mean, we hooked up.

I thought you were looking in Austin.

- I was looking for a place. - But I thought you said you moved there.

- Uh, for a little bit, yeah. - You never told me you lived in Austin.

- Have you got to meet Emma? - No. I am a little nervous.

What if she doesn't like me? Because that's a scary thought.

Am I ready to walk down the aisle? No.

I know I've never felt like this in my life.

I love you deeply, baby. Deeply.

I 100% think you are the right partner.

I feel we're in a good place right now.

- I love you. -

Then you will be at your wedding.

And there you will make the most important decision of your life.

Now is the time to decide if love is blind.

I can't see a future without you.

Yeah.

That was a yes.

Mike, do you take Emma to be your lawfully wedded wife?

If so, say, "I do."

Mike, do you take Emma to be your lawfully wedded wife?

If so, say "I do."

Emma.

I do...

I do love you.

Right now, I'm not ready to say I do.

I want kids.

And I want to know that you

definitely 100% wanna have a family with me.

I don't wanna say yes and jump into something

and then it change down the road.

And it's hard because I, you know...

I'm sorry.

["Wanna Be Loved" by the Red Clay Strays playing]

- - I do love you.

I'm gonna go check on her.

I'm not ready to get married. We're not ready to get married.

We have a big thing with kids.

She's 50-50. I want someone that's gonna have a family.

All right.

I just couldn't say, "No."

Like, I still... I love him.

I'll be back.

We love you, okay?

- Love you. - All right.

Emma.

Hey.

Oh my God. My heart is beating so fast.

- There's a lot of emotions. - Yeah.

I know my son cares about your daughter.

They are on the same...

- Right? He did say that the... - Yep.

The children were the issues they were trying to work out.

But I was like, "Okay, as long as you're happy."

It's bigger for Mike. That's a big thing.

I get that. And I want him to have kids.

And I'm not sure she's there, and she might get there.

- Okay. - You know, she's not a "no."

But they still have to work that out. And she knows that.

I want to get married to you. I know we have a lot to work through.

- Yeah. - Um, but I...

I see glimpses of a future.

I see glimpses of a family.

Like, I know you're going to be an amazing father.

I wouldn't be here today if

I didn't start seeing that.

Sure. I understand that.

Yeah.

If we're gonna get married,

I want you to know that you want a family with me.

- Yeah. Yeah. - For sure.

- I don't want it to be half-ass. - Yeah.

I don't want it to be 50-50. I don't want it to be 90-10.

- Whatever it may be, 99-1. - Yeah.

I want it to be 100%.

- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. - And I wanna be with someone that's 100%.

And you have your points.

And you have your reasons, and I respect them.

I respect you, no matter what.

- But I just can't say yes... - Yeah.

- ...Without knowing that. - Yeah.

So I'm sorry.

Love is a choice. And you choose to be with someone.

You choose to make those decisions together.

And for me, like, I can see a future with him,

and I know I can get there.

- So I thought that would be enough, but... -

I don't think that was enough for him.

Yeah, so she did say yes.

She is open to possibly having children. Right? We knew that.

But for me to say "yes," I just wanted a little more assurance from her.

God damn.

Yeah.

Obviously, we wanna let our feelings make the decision for us at the altar.

But I cannot say "I do" if I know the other person is not 100% with kids.

If she would have said definitively,

"I will have kids with you," would that have changed your answer?

Yeah, I think it would have.

- -

So today is my wedding day.

Today is starting to feel like a fairy tale.

I definitely was losing hope in finding somebody like Jordan.

Today's the day!

It's crazy.

With a kid, who wants to just walk into that?

The right person.

To actually find somebody that you fall in love with.

- That's pretty amazing. - It's wild.

Was Emma excited yesterday?

It was, like, really cute. She did a magic show for Jordan.

- Yeah. - The magic box.

- That's adorable. - I think he had fun.

When your life is working, especially doing what you do,

basically running a practice and then having your daughter,

you don't really have the opportunity to meet.

I'm usually just, like,

meeting a guy on a Saturday and not getting to know them.

You just don't have the time.

And it was so bad for so long.

All these toxic relationships that you've been in.

- There have been a lot. - I'm gonna cry, but you've come so far.

- Yeah. - There's been a lot.

- I'm really proud of you. - Thank you.

I know this wasn't easy.

No, it was not.

I feel like we've worked so hard to get here.

He had to meet my daughter's dad. He had to meet my daughter.

There's a lot of stress with work.

Traveling back and forth from Mt. Vernon, we had a few stress moments.

But to get through everything,

it's just been such a wild, crazy and amazing ride.

Do you feel confident in your decision that you're gonna make today?

- Yeah, I definitely do. Mm-hmm. - You do?

I'm ready to marry Jordan. I am. He's like a best friend to me.

- You know we love you so much. - I do.

No matter what happens, we're here for you.

- And we love you, and we're so proud. - That's why you're here.

So my biggest fear is how Jordan feels.

Like, if he's feeling a lot of pressure or anything.

I know it's changing his life.

Maybe he does kind of wanna, like, run if that's his decision as well.

So that's been kind of lingering on the back of my mind.

But I care about him a lot, so I don't want him to have those feelings.

I want this to be a good day for him as well.

Oh my gosh.

I don't think I've ever loved somebody as much as Amber.

We got the wedding today.
