Neither option feels good here.
Lets start with the good news: Alexa and Brennon are doing well.
Her friends grill poor, sweet Brennon, but he passes with flying colors.
This familial moment is sweet and genuine.
She shares a tender moment with her stepmom while wedding-dress shopping and says yes to a gorgeous dress!
Food tastes better, the sky is bluer, and the grass is greener.
As Alexas shirt says,Absofuckinglutely.
We finally get to see Colleen leap and pirouette and plie around.
I am not sure if Colleen, or anyone, can fill that hole.
Colleens parents fly in from Pennsylvania and are a hoot.
Her parents are rightfully like,WTF?I mean isnt that one of the nonnegotiables of marriage?
Her mom is like,I respect your decision, but hey think about this seriously …
Things only get worse at the aquarium.
Matts response here is nothing but red flags.
I dont like his aggressive tone.
This isnt a cross-examination?
This is a date with your fiancee and the cast ofFinding Nemo!
What does he want her to say?
That she wont marry him?
This is all JV shit, though.
She says shed take a bullet for him but isnt sure hed take one for her.
Ravens face here is everything, and Im glad shes there to saythat is a sign!
I wanted to reach into the screen and wipe that smug look off his face.
I am no Gottman, but the contempt present in this relationship is strong.
In fact, do they have anything but contempt and resentment for each other?
There is a lot of darkness surrounding this pair.
I need to know more about why Zanabs sister couldnt fly out for the wedding.
When Zanab tries on her wedding dress, she seems nervous in a bad way.
This isnt butterflies excitement; this is terror.
When Cole tries his hand at cooking them dinner, Zanab intervenes.
She cant stop criticizing him, but at the same time, his culinary skills definitely need criticizing.
This is rich coming from a man who consistently told his fiancee she wasnt as hot as Colleen.
He says hed expect his wife to like him a little bit more.
Okay, even a broken clock is right twice a day!
Zanab, you dontlikehim!
Lets call a spade a spade and move on.
But then he keeps on going, telling Zanab he wants her to be sweet and unassuming.
He really wants a meek wife who does nothing but gas up him and his unseasoned chicken.
And then he asks her, in the middle of their argument as a gotcha, if shes bipolar?
They follow her on Instagram, though!
Alexa tells Zanab shes so much greater than Cole, who is at best a cute little boy.
I hope Zanab hears her.
I am, honestly and maybe a little embarrassingly, shocked that SK said no?
All this talk about how Raven is a treasure and their love is complex, and for what?
His mom deserves better from both her son and from Raven.
My heart aches for Raven.
The morning of her wedding, she sounds so calm and peaceful and in love.
Their conversations leading up to the wedding felt real and grounded.
SK affirms her, validating her in contrast to the other girlies who aspire to be wifey Disney adults.
Their conversation about their fundamental family differences is hard but productive and seems to be settled.
Before the wedding, Raven seems to really love this man.
She feels happy and comfortable and ready to say yes.
So what in the Carrie Bradshaw just happened?
My heart aches for poor Raven going through this without her mom.
This girl has to walk out in the rain, wedding dress in hand, alone.
Cant someone help her with the umbrella?
What are the producers standing around for?
My heart breaks when she starts sobbing and says she never wants to have another wedding.
I guess that dead fish was a sign after all.
This does not make me feel good about Bartise and Nancy, Ill tell you that much.
And now I am especially dreading Bartise being the one to potentially say no.
Imagine someone wearing that tragic bow tie while they reject you at the altar!
Nothing sits right with me: Nancy never eating ribs before (while living in Texas!
The day of the wedding, Nancy sends Bartise a note and gifts from their journey.
He breaks down into sobs and tells a producer, Everything in that bag is heartbreaking.
He excuses himself to go to the bathroom because his friends have never seen him cry.
No matter what, nobody wins.
