WOMAN: Who's the lucky lady?
I don't know yet, actually.
I'm ready to meet my husband.
Hit me over the head and knock me out.
GROOM 1: I can't believe this is the person
that I'm going to be spending the rest of my life with.
Ashley.
Anthony.
Nice to meet you.
It's very good to finally meet you.
You too.
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss your bride.
[cheering]
MAN IN CROWD: All right!
We found you a match.
Oh, gosh.
You're going to get married.
Oh!
Oh my god, thank you.
Matt, you're getting married.
Get out of here, man.
[laughter]
But I'm crying because--
Congratulations.
GROOM 2: I'm definitely nervous.
I'm going to be marrying somebody, possibly, that
could be my worst nightmare.
Oh my gosh, I was definitely not this nervous,
until I walked in here.
What did I just sign up for?
I'm getting married today to a complete stranger.
What if she bails?
What if she doesn't like me?
What if I don't like her?
What if I get left at the altar?
I don't know a single thing about this person,
and she's here right now.
My stress meter right now is a 10.
It's through the roof.
BRIDE 1: I'm terrified right now.
And I don't know what to do because what
if it doesn't work out?
Shake it out.
Shake it out. Shake it out.
Shake it out.
Shake that!
I need to remember to smile when I walk down.
I'll smile here for you.
Don't worry.
Yeah, smile for me.
Yeah, I got you.
Oh, goodness.
This is about to happen.
Hmm.
[cheering]
We're good, we're good, we're good. all right, let's do this.
I'm Neil, for all of you all.
Hi.
The mother?
Very nice to meet you.
He is exactly what I would have prayed for.
Can you say hi?
This is Ashley's new husband.
Oh, I wasn't supposed to say her name.
I got chills when she said her name was Ashley.
I had a dream, the night before I got matched with her,
about the letter A.
I could fall back and fall over right now, easily.
[laughter]
[MUSIC - FELIX MENDELSSOHN, "WEDDING MARCH"]

And I just happen to be not attracted to the guy.
I do.
I'm thinking I just made the worst decision of my life.
Do you, Jamie Otis, take Doug Hehner
as your lawfully wedded husband, for now and forevermore?
(WHISPERING) I'm sorry.
I do.
[laughter]
I was just like, I'm just going to go through the motions.
I'm just going to do what I have to do, to be done with this.
I do.
[screams]
[cheering]
GUEST: We got it right.
Let's do this thing.
Yes!

This is my son.
I brought this belt. This is the belt I get married.
I don't have any girls.
She's going to be my girl And when she wear this belt,
this is the blessing, that I want everybody to see it.
And I'm going to give it to--
Shawnee?
Shawniece.

MOTHER: And just so you know, I love belts.
SHAWNEE: Thank you.
Greg, Deonna's family and friends
would like you to know that she cherishes her relationship
and strong commitment to God, and her smile
and laughter is contagious.
OFFICIATOR 2: Keith is compassionate,
funny, and kind towards others.
But Keith is a little spoiled.
[crowd oooing]
OFFICIATOR 3: She kicks in her sleep.
[gasps]
He knows his way around the kitchen.
Bonus for you.
I vow to make you happy, to make you laugh,
and always be there for you.
I will cherish and respect you, laugh with you, cry with you,
and comfort you in times of sorrow.
I pledge to be the best man that I can be for you.
And I'm excited to get to know you.
Like, I want to know what makes you laugh.
I know what makes you smile.
I want to know what makes you cry.
And through that curiosity, I hope it turns into love.
My heart is 100% in this.
I promise to always be open and honest.
I promise, through the good and the bad,
that I will stand by your side.
I will be patient with you, I will be understanding,
and I promise I'll be open to your quirky habits.
But the most important promise of all is that I commit to you.
Awesome.
With this ring, I offer you my heart and soul.
May this presence on your hand be
a constant reminder of the commitment you made here today.
I wed you, Keith.
I wed you.
Ours for today.
For tomorrow.
And for all the years to come.
[laughter]
I don't know.
I don't know either.
I know-- we got to start again.
KEITH: We'll figure this out together.
We got to do it again.
OFFICIATOR 4: Do you promise to nurture
her, to be to her all things, and create space for love?
I do.
Ohhh-- OK, I do.
OFFICIATOR 5: I pronounce you are married.
Some people choose to kiss at this point, but it's up to you.
[cheering]
Hell yes.
Perfect!
[cheering]
Do the cheek.
WOMAN IN CROWD: Aw.
We went European.
[cheering]
Well, holy [bleep],, I literally just got married.
I'm married.
Family's not even here, so--
Right, right.
Why are they not here?
I mean, if you want to tell me-- you don't have to, obviously.
Nah, yeah, I mean, I knew we were
going to have to have this conversation at some point.
But my parents make choices, and--
We can't really--
We can't control them, huh?
Yeah.
Your insecurities start taking over.
Like, I don't know if my husband is attracted to me.
I mean, he didn't say that I looked pretty.
So I'm questioning, did even find me attractive?
Maybe he didn't find me attractive.
I'm intrigued on where we're going to end up.
BRIDE 3: Yeah.
I hope I didn't just make a mistake.
JAMIE OTIS: I couldn't even try to be
elegant and graceful anymore.
I just found a corner and start crying.
I trusted all the experts so much,
and I felt like they failed me or something.
I was done.
I'm married to him now, and I didn't want to be
rude to him or to his family.
I'm going to have to dance with him.
Taking wedding photos with a stranger was kind of weird.
But immediately, like, we just-- we had such
a great experience together.
PHOTOGRAPHER 1: Oh, it's real right there.
That is-- loving that.
Thank you. - He's cute!
I like him.
And he's cute.
PHOTOGRAPHER 2: There we go.
Love that.
Amazing.
Love it, love it.
I see her, and I think, wow, this girl's
absolutely stunning.
So I guess the experts did something right.
[laughs]
BRIDE 4: Close, kissing, hugging.
I don't know, but this is so weird!
I don't know what to do.
PHOTOGRAPHER 3: Aw, that's cute.
PHOTOGRAPHER 4: Snuggle up, snuggle up.
There you go, guys.
There you go.
So I think my husband is a good kisser.
So, like, I'm doing like, oh, cute for the camera.
Let's peck.
And he's, like, going in.
There you go, perfect.
Yeah, mind your business.
LUKE: Now what are we supposed to do?
MALE GUEST: Kiss!
BRIDE 5: I would kiss Luke, but he seems very against it,
and it's kind of weird.
So it's a little awkward.
[clattering]
CROWD: Do it!
[cheering]
LUKE: I don't like the public forcing of, kind of,
compassion or intimacy.
That's not really in my thing.
GROOM'S FATHER: You lying now, sir.
You a drunk?
GROOM'S FATHER: I drink and smoke, but I don't lie.
I didn't say anything about that!
(IMITATING OTHER DAD) My daughter is a catch.
My son is too, homie!
Can you not curse?
I don't like the language.
GROOM'S FATHER: [bleep] these people.
Talking [bleep] to me.
DJ 1: At this time, we would like to call
the father of the groom.
Daughter, your daddy--
I'm just trying to be like him.
(OLD MAN VOICE) And I'm a deacon and an elder, and all of this.
Only reason he an elder is because he's
stealing money off the tithes.
You've been talking [bleep] to me all night.
And this [bleep] thought I wasn't
going to get on this mic and talk [bleep]
about his gray-haired ass.
He's a [bleep] liar!
Oh, no!
No, I'm just playing.
Man had me clowning all day.
Bottom line is, I want the best for my boy.
Mr. And Mrs. Norton.
Twirl.
[cheering]
DJ 2: Mr. And Mrs. [inaudible].
DJ 3: Mr. And Mrs. Pendergrast.
So first, I would like to thank everyone for being here.
To my wife, hi, I'm Doug.
[laughter]
My middle name is Edward.
That's good to know.
My last name is Hehner.
And I think yours is too.
[laughter]
BRIDE 6: Checking every single box.
So I'm excited for the experience of falling
in love with this new person.
[cheering]
[crowd yelling]
BRIDE 7: It feels amazing to be finally married.
