- We found you a wife, Woodrow.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Let's gooo!
We want you to know that you are gonna
be married at first sight--
[LAUGHS]
--in two weeks!
I can't believe this.
[SMOOTH MUSIC PLAYING]
WOODROW "WOODY"(VOICE OVER): My name is Woodrow,
but everyone calls me Woody.
I'm 30.
I actually teach and coach at Livingston High School.
The reason, specifically, I wanted
to be married at first that is because
in the beginning of the year when I had--
it was getting a promotion.
And I was like, man, you know how you always
want to share those moments with somebody that you, like, really
and truly, like, care for.
I think of those moments, and I know who I am as a person.
I love myself, I love my days, I love everything
that I'm doing right now.
The only thing I don't have to share that with is a wife.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
AMANI: My name is Amani.
I'm 29, and I am a program coordinator for a nonprofit.
I'm very creative and hardworking.
I love my job and I think I definitely have
a natural nurturing spirit.
All the stars are meant to form a line.
I still have, like, that hope.
Like, even though I haven't had the best relationships,
I know that there is someone that wants to be married.
And that we would be a great match.
Woody's a character.
He's a lot of fun.
Gregarious.
He's a good guy.
I think she's much more serious than he is.
I think he needs someone like her, personally.
Mm-hmm.
He needs someone he can respect.
Someone he can respect.
Absolutely.
He needs a wife, not a girlfriend.
FRIEND: Ready to be married?
Yeah!
Woody, stop playin'.
You say you are, I'm not really sure.
Why?
Because you're a wild boy.
Like, how do you find a balance between--
I'm used to being single.
I'm used to being and doing my own thing
where I wake up when I want to, I go out when I want to.
And now you've got to communicate with another person
about choices that you make.
Not just another person, you got
to communicate with another person
you're legally committed to.
Oy vey!
I said that.
He's ready, he's not.
I've been said that.
What if this person is ideally the perfect person,
a perfect match, right?
That's [BLEEP] is easy at this point.
[BLEEP],, I ain't got to worry about stressing.
I don't have to go nowhere.
Unless, babe, you want to go out?
We'll don't gotta go out. You want to go out?
Let's go out.
So you're plan right now is for her
to be the perfect match? Like--
Yeah.
It's exactly what I want, so I don't have
to worry about all the others.
Hey, look at the end of it, you know we support you.
RECHELLE (VOICE OVER): --somewhere else.
Both of you. - Glasses up.
Touch them things, y'all.
Touch them things.
We love y'all boys, man.
Yeah.
RECHELLE (VOICE OVER): Love you.
[UPLIFTING MUSIC]
MAN IN CROWD (VOICE OVER): Not a bad looking young man.
Whoa, this is deep.
Yes.
[BOTH SOFTLY LAUGH]
Let's go.
We got each other.
Woody, meet for the first time Amani.
Hi.
How you doing?
[LAUGHTER]
MINISTER: Woody and Amani, you two
have written your own statements of commitment to each other.
So, Woody, you can go first.
As I stand here today, I stand here
and say thank you for meeting here today.
It's the beginning of the rest of our lives.
You don't know me, I don't know you.
But I'm willing and able to show you and give my all to you
because you're here just as well as I am.
Because of you, I'm standing for better
and for worse, for richer and more rich,
not looking for more poor.
Thank you.
And to have and to hold for the rest of our lives.
So I guess we're doing this?
Yeah, we doing it.
[NERVOUS LAUGH]
First of all, I appreciate you for doing this with me.
You're welcome.
I can't say who you are to me because we are just meeting,
but I can say my hopes for us.
I can't wait for us to become best friends
or for us to miss each other.
In order for us to get to our forever,
I promise to support you through every aspect of life.
I hope to learn more about the world
and how to navigate through it together.
I hope that we can communicate about
our joys and fears so that we can
remain connected in every way.
I can't wait to tell everyone how we started this journey.
I know, right?
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
AMANI: Thank you.
Let's count to three for them to jump the broom.
Dang.
Are y'all ready?
You-- you got it?
I think so.
One-- AMANI: I got my--
MINISTER: --two-- - Keep her steady.
--comfy shoes on. MINISTER: --three.
AMANI: Wait!

[CHEERING]
We can't leave yet.
We can't leave.
I haven't even kissed you yet or nothing!
Oh, yeah!
Ahh!
[LAUGHTER]
MINISTER: I am excited to announce you married.
You can call yourself those coveted names,
husband and wife.
Woody, you may now kiss your bride.
Mm-hmm.
[CHEERING]
Into the unknown.
Oh, oooh.
Let's go into the unknown.
Oooh, oooh!
Let's go!
