I'm away a few days to tell my family I'm engaged.
I'm not sure how they're going to take it.
Their approval. But if I don't get it, I'm still going to marry him because he makes me
happy. I just need to trust me.
Back to the matter. Is we in love?
We've got each other.
And what God put forth.
Let no man tear or something.
So you all know that she has a new friend up there, Caleb?
Yeah. Is that what it is?
Yeah. Okay.
They just met each other, and now they're dating.
They should just be friends for a while.
So we found out on social media that Tammy's got this new boyfriend up in rehab.
Hey, y'all. I just wanted to let y'all know that I found somebody.
As nice guy. I like it, but I want to see where it leads to.
First off, why do I have to find out on social media?
And I thought Tammy was up there focusing on her weight.
She needs to work on her and her mental health and and just be free to lose the
weight and experiences.
New part of life like hell.
Go eat escargot.
They should be scheduling her removal anytime.
Right.
They're waiting to make sure she don't have an infection.
She's at the end of the goal line to come home.
So why would she want to start a relationship in the process of going home?
I'm all for trying to find love.
But she's done this before.
She don't have the best track record with dudes.
They would treat her like a piece of trash.
Barely. Her past relations did not go well for her mental and physical health.
And that's what I'm truly worried about.
How are you doing? Oh, I'm doing better now.
Get him. And I started dating, like, two weeks ago.
I asked him if he was going to ask me to be his girlfriend.
Like I had a feeling, and he just kind of confirmed, you know, that woman's intuition.
I got sick.
Oh, so here we are.
Sitting down having this gourmet lunch.
Chicken, chili and cornbread.
One little bowl. Can't you remember, like, back in the days, we could eat a whole pot of
chili? A sheet cake, something like.
You know what I mean? Those days are over with.
Yeah. Thank God they're over with.
Yeah, you're right on.
Caleb is a lot different from the guys I typically go with.
I don't usually go for the bigger people, but he's cute.
He's funny, loving, caring.
So instead of going for the skinny bag or whatever, why not give somebody else a
chance?
Well, this smile. You love your personality, your sense of humor.
You just. You like the calming effect you have on me.
I have a calming effect on you.
Yes. What was your first kiss like?
Oh, I got this one.
Oh, God.
When you kiss the person that you're in love with.
The whole world is supposed to move.
That's exactly what happened.
I gave her a small little peck.
And then she stood up.
She went in for what she wanted.
Leans in to kiss me, and boom.
Sparks fly. She hits the control over my power chair, which left on.
Next thing I know, my whole wheelchair just goes flying forward.
And I went shooting straight into it.
I don't remember that.
Oh, yeah. This is my favorite part of the morning.
She makes my hot chocolate for me every single day.
And for some reason, it always tastes better when she does it.
I'm like, Well.
Thank you, baby.
You know I love you.
So today I decided I'd set up a little something for Tammy.
I rounded everyone up, our friends, even the staff.
And by this point, she knows something's going on because why is she in the parking
lot? She starts shaking a little bit and turning red and, you know, doing everything
that is absolutely adorable about her.
So it's just been a short time.
But I know without a doubt, we're the most beautiful.
Amazing, wonderful person was.
You didn't shake your head. Yes, but she was speechless.
So once. Hey, y'all,
guess what? We're engaged.
Now, It's only been three weeks.
But I never felt this way about anybody.
The last few relationships.
I was never this happy or.
Yay! Yay!
Hey.
Go get married. Go have a couple of kids, hopefully.
Life's gonna be great.
Raised me. That was about to be even better.
Uh, you. So, you know, I've been talking to this guy Alan.
Yeah.
He asked me to marry him.
Huh? What'd you say?
He asked. She's getting married.
Who did? My boyfriend.
I mean, I had saw on social media that you had a boyfriend, but that was just a couple
of weeks ago.
I'm like, what the.
I honestly thought Tammy was joking because she wants to marry a total stranger.
But then again, she's always loved hard and loved fast.
I'm talking there was this one guy that she told she loved him to an hour after they met.
I used to be the same way.
I ain't going to lie. But I grew up.
How long have you known this guy?
I've been with Caleb for a month now.
Moving kind of quick, ain't you?
So when is the big day?
November 19th.
Two weeks away.
Two weeks. Are you kidding me?
Why rush into anything?
There is no need for that.
I mean, I would definitely like to know your first, middle and last name before my sister
goes and takes your last name.
What's his goals?
He's in rehab for the same thing you're in, right?
He hasn't had the surgery yet, but he's working on it.
So how is that going to be when you get to come home and he has to stay there?
We're going to work on both of us leaving at the same time.
I mean, I can understand that, but I don't see him making that goal in the short amount
of time that she has.
Do you know when they're clearing you to come home?
I don't know.
Like, I can't tell y'all.
A specific date.
Y'all keep asking me the same questions.
I mean, who are we supposed to ask?
I expected them to have questions.
I don't know. I just.
It bothers me that they're not, like, happy for me, I guess.
All right. Well, we'll talk to you later.
All right.
I know she wants to be loved.
I think everybody deserves to be loved.
But Tammy also needs to step back and rethink what the heck she's doing.
She's wanting to play grown up.
But okay, if you're going to be grown up, it's time to sit back and worry about grown
up stuff. She's doing too fast.
No, you shouldn't just leap in.
You shouldn't. You should just wait a little bit.
Yeah. Don't dive in.
Be together for a little bit.
You know, my biggest thing is, is that I just went through a divorce.
That was tough. It's tough on a person mentally.
And if Tammy were to ever have to go through that, I just don't know where that would put
her. With her recent surgery.
It's it's tough for me to even fathom why she would want to go ahead and get married.
It's such a life changing event.
And we don't know this man.
And I'm not going to sit here and say that he's a bad person.
He's a good person. I just I don't know.
I do not know this man.
We don't. None of us do.
Does she really even know this man?
Yeah. And who's to Is Tammy going to change her mind?
Yeah, because in two months, you may not like him.
The new wears off, baby.
This is the most important thing of the day right here.
Hi.
Hi, buddies. You know who that is?
Finest little Glen.
Glen. Little Glen.
He is too happy to see you.
Look at the baby.
Where are you gonna do when we have our own?
So. Galen, Michael, Amy, Chris, Britney.
Glenn and Gage is running around somewhere.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet all of you.
Yeah, it's nice to meet you.
So tell me. I'm really proud of you.
Because everything.
You look so, so wonderful compared to where you were.
Surgery. £97.
That is. Wonderful.
Tammy has lost a lot of weight since she's had the surgery.
And it's weird because online she still looks hella big, But when you see her in real
life, even I being legally blind, can see that she's lost the weight.
So tell me, where are you at?
And. You know, coming home and stuff.
I'll talk to the doctor, like three days ago.
And he said if there's no signs of sleep apnea.
Then he will remove my trache.
So you'll just be on oxygen, regular oxygen and.
Okay. I'm completely breathing on my own right now.
Great.
How close are.
You? I mean, I'm not too far behind her, but, you know, a little bit.
I don't know how much you know she's told you, but I actually called it a couple of
times here. But I feel like God kept me alive for a reason.
And a lot of that region, I believe, is sitting right next to me.
Tammy is in a position right now.
She's never been before in her life.
She's got a future that she didn't think she was going to have.
She went from being pretty much bed ridden.
So now she's going to eventually.
Lose enough weight where she can have a normal life.
But I think she might put herself in a predicament to get a heartbreak later.
Because what happens if he's not able to ever leave that facility and she's home?
Here comes the bride.
Here comes the bride all.
Dressed in white.
I saw Caleb at the altar.
I just pictured doves and butterflies all around him.
Like God had opened the clouds and let the sunlight in.
It was magical.
When I finally see her.
More explodes.
Are you crying?
Welcome, everyone, friends and families, all of you who have traveled here to be with
Caleb and Tammy today.
We thank you for being here and to share this special day.
Before we start, should anyone present here among us know of any reason why this couple
should not be joined in matrimony?
Speak now or forever hold your peace?
I don't think anybody's going to object, but you never know.
My family can be surprising.
There's anything.
Thank God.
Tammy, will you take Caleb to be your lawfully wedded husband?
Will you love him and cherish him?
Honor him and no other for the rest of your life?
Oh, yes. I do.
Don't know.
Having said that, Kayla, will you take Tammy to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Will you cherish her?
Will you honor her and no other for the rest of your life?
I do.
You know what's good for you.
Not only do I do that.
But I want to say just a couple of things, Tammy.
You mean the world to me.
Cry.
I was going to stay in and do this, but my knees are so weak right now.
I can't do it. It's okay.
I love you. Wasn't anything in this world.
You made me a brand new person.
You helped me fight off death.
And I know we can take on the world.
There ain't nothing to it but to do it.
Kuna matata, baby.
I'll go to my town.
By the power vested in me through the Universal Life Church and the State of Ohio.
I present Caleb and Tammy Willingham.
Caleb, you may now kiss your bride.
I can't be you.
But you don't want to. You don't say yes.
Oh. I don't know if I'm ready.
Goodbye, baby. I love you.
How many times have we been playing bingo in this exact room?
How many times have we read this area?
And now it seems like just forever.
Like every single second.
It seems like time stopped.
Exactly.
But I'm glad.
Not glad not.
