in the Philippines.
>> Oh.
>> Oh shoot.
Big and proud is the break out
star of this season's "90 day
fiance" before the 90 days.
>> Everybody is freaking out.
Nice to meet you.
>> They're freaking out, what
about me?
This is -- I'm just big Ed from
San Diego, living with teddy.
And I'm here.
>> This is crazy.
The reaction has been
overwhelming, I'm sure, for your
appearance on this show.
We've seen videos of you all
over.
I think at one point I saw you
putting mayonnaise in your hair.
>> I have sensitive skin and a
coworker's husband rubs -- he
told me to rub it in your head
when you're done dying your hair
and I did it and it works.
It actually works.
>> Look how cute you are in your
robe.
Do you have it in now?
>> You have to make sure you
wash it out twice because if not
you smell like an egg salad
sandwich.
>> What's going on with
rosemary.
>> Rosemary, wow.
I'm in love, obviously.
>> Are you really?
>> Yeah, I really am.
It's crazy.
It's surreal.
I met her on social media.
Three months later she's sending
pictures of her.
Every morning we're chatting,
three or four times a day.
I buy a ticket.
I'm going to go meet her.
I never heard of "90 day fiance"
until my coworkers are like send
in the app and I was on the
phone in two hours.
It's fast.
>> You said one of the things
before this that it would be you
and teddy in San Diego.
>> I got married young.
Everybody makes mistakes.
Marriage didn't turn out.
I didn't want to be in love
again.
I just wanted to focus on my
daughter.
I was in a graduate program in
architecture.
And I would wake up and I'm 34
years old -- 44 years old and it
was too late for love.
>> That's what you felt.
>> That's what I felt.
So, for 28 years, I have not
been in a serious committed,
loving relationship.
>> What's the response online?
How is everybody treating you?
>> At first it's really
interesting because I was teased
as a -- in high school everybody
would make fun of my neck and my
smaller stature.
I have kfs, so I have a shorter
neck, limited movement, and
bigger chest.
So, I was teased all my life.
So, at first I started to get a
lot of online bullying, like a
ton.
I was afraid this wasn't a good
idea.
Then I started getting letters
from South Africa from the east
coast telling me, hey, you know,
I have the same syndrome as you.
>> So, you brought awareness to
it.
>> Oh, my god, and some of these
letters make you cry.
They choke you up.
Just telling me their story, how
can you be so brave.
But knowing that I'm impacting
lives, it's -- oh, my god, it
makes it all worth while.
So, that part I didn't expect.
>> I love that you're bringing
awareness.
I'm glad that everybody's come
around and that you I don't
stuck with that.
>> Yeah.
>> We have a clip right now.
>> Yeah, of you meeting.
>> I'm kind of nervous.
>> Me too.
For the first tomb.
Let's see.
>> Roll it.
>> Now I'm standing in front of
her and I really want to kiss
rose.
I really do.
But I want to make sure that she
really likes me.
Am I what you expected?
Do you like?
>> I expected you're taller than
me, not shorter than me.
>> Oh, wait a second.
So, that was kind of a gut
punch.
>> Yeah.
>> Because for --
I mean wind
out of your sails.
>> For three months we face
timed.
I did tell her we're the same
height, so she expected me to be
5'2" but I'm 4'11".
>> Close enough.
>> Yeah, close enough, right?
That took me back a little bit.
>> We don't want to give
anything away, but tell us the
ending.
Give us a tease.
>> You did say you found love.
>> I can say this I got on a
plane, 7,000 miles to meet the
love of my life.
I'm in a country where her
family doesn't speak English.
I'm staying in a place that is
not a very good situation, no
indoor plumbing, no air
conditioning, obviously.
It's going to be very, very
interesting.
That's all I've got to say.
>> It's already interesting just
from that one.
>> This is nothing.
I'm telling you.
It's like this has been a
surreal trip for me, really.
Like, it's like it never really
happened, like a dream, but it
did.
And it gets crazy and fun and
emotional.
>> How about Ed with the teasers
coming in.
What a teaser.
>> Nice.
>> So nice to meet you.
I'm so glad you found love.
>> Thank you so much.
>> Here we go.
