The closer that we're
getting to the wedding, the more we're disagreeing. - If you wanted that
submissive wife, honey, you could have gotten it! - We've gone over the
budget a little bit. - How much is a little bit? - Probably about $7500 over? Now I have to tell Josh. It's gonna be 20 times
harder to tell him. - Imagine marrying
someone you don't know. Everything changes once
I get married to him. - I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to think. I'm snapping, literally. (upbeat intro music) (hip-hop style music) (inspirational
instrumental music) - Coming down the stairs
in my wedding dress, that was the moment. The moment I was waiting
for the whole night. - When I first saw
Maria walk in the hall, my heart was beating
a little fast. I realized that,
I'm getting married! Marriage in Romani culture
is like a milestone. It shows that you're
getting older, it shows that you're a man. It's gonna be life changing. - There's a few different
stages to the ceremony. First the mother and
the father of the groom, they pick out two
people that they want to put the veil on his
wife, and they pray. In the name of Jesus, Amen. - [Michael] Only people that
were married once have-- - [Nina] Is allowed to do - Have the honor of
to polonaise a bride. It was an honor for my
father and mother to do it. It was very very special.
- [Nina] Yes. (prayer and blessings) The minute that--
- [Michael] Hands are tied, she's a part of my family.
- [Nina] She's ours. - For Maria, for Christian,
in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son,
the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen! (cheering) - [Voiceover] Amen,
God bless you. Praise the Lord! - She's been paid for,
she's been bought, whatever you wanna call it,
it's not about the money. The dowry is a security for
the mother and the father of the bride. If you pay for her, you
will take care of her. She's a married woman now. - It is emotional
to now know that I am married to Christian. It was more sad when
me and my father and my mother were crying. It's very hard to
leave the family. I'm not gonna see
them a whole lot. Not to be living with them,
it's hard, it's emotional. - Maria's family, they're
good, respectable people. But I guess don't
wanna be on TV. (inspirational music) - She leaves and goes
alone with her husband. She belongs to him forever. - That's it, baby! - [Nina] Love you baby! - Right after the wedding,
I was very excited. It was our first official time of us just being together alone. But that's pretty
much all I can say. - Bye Christian!
- [Chris] Bye! - I love you, I love you! - [Maria] I'm nervous
about the first time, you know, we're allowed
to be with each other. Christian is the person that
I'm gonna spend forever with. That I'm gonna take care of, and that's gonna
take care of me. (relaxed country music) - When it comes to
money and finances, my advice to Josh is, don't
ever let your wife know how much you have. - I just let him know
when I want something, and I expect him
to get it for me. (upbeat guitar music) - [Josh] Come on buddy! - We're getting
married this week, and I haven't told
Josh about how bad the budget issue has gotten. Even though I have worked
it out with my dad, I still need to come
clean with Josh. I met with Daddy
the other night. And talked about the budget. And the good news is,
Daddy's gonna cover. - He was already gonna
be paying for it. - He's gonna cover
the, what I went over. - What you went over? How much over are you? - We don't need to worry
about it, he's gonna cover it. 'Cause otherwise if he--
- [Josh] Well how much more? No. - It's about $7500. The premium liquor,
the ice cream bar, the french fry bar, all the
things that I had to have, we have to pay it now. - What if your dad
wouldn't have been able to take care of it? - That wouldn't have
happened 'cause I know how my dad is, my dad
would do anything for me. It's my wedding, my Daddy's
gonna take care of it. He should have just said,
"Okay, that's fine". And that should have
been the end of it. - Once we get married,
it's gonna be me! My Daddy will take care of it. That's not reality. We're marrying our
finances together too. And every mistake she makes, is just like I'm making
that same mistake. I'm learning that she
doesn't necessarily handle her finance as well
as I'd like to see. - Daddy's gonna take care of it, and he's gonna give us
the most amazing wedding. - You keep saying Daddy's
gonna take care of it, but what's gonna happen
when it's just us? (upbeat ethnic music) Just I'm kidding!
- [Harshad] That's okay. (laughter) - Cappucino for myself,
and what would you like? - Can I get a latte
please, with non-fat milk? Yes. I have a lot on my
mind these days, 'cause now I'm so close
to the actual wedding, and I think we're
a little bit behind compared to where we wanna be. - [Veeral] I still have
to get my wedding outfit, that hasn't arrived. - The wedding designer, she's not sending your
outfits, in India? - She hasn't sent it yet. - I'm trying to stay calm! - The outfit will
come, don't worry. Just take a deep breath, relax. - Oh my God, take a
deep breath and relax? - And everything will
be taken care of. - Veeral, that n works. Veeral tells me to relax
almost in every sentence. - Ragini, relax! You need to just relax. Like, relax.
- [Ragini] I think the words. - I'm gonna do it,
but just relax. Like, all right woman, relax!
- [Ragini] Get down there! I just wanna be
like, "You relax!" So what else do we have
outstanding at the moment? - For the actual
baarat ceremony, - Yes?
- [Veeral] I gots to get either a car or a horse,
we'll see what happens. A baarat is a festivity
before marriage where a groom usually,
traditionally goes on a horse or an elephant, and
the family of the groom dances around and parties
before he gets married. - You said a few weeks
ago that you wanted the motorcycle and then I
think you talked to some family and then decided not to. Where is your voice in all this? - A lot of times with
wedding planning, Veeral's loyalty defaults to
his mom and sister's opinions. - My voice is that I
wanna make people happy. - But it's your wedding! I'm very insecure about
whether Veeral can prioritize his wife as his
number one, and put me first. - The wedding is
not about family, the wedding is about
the bride and groom, and what they want and
what makes them happy, and you're celebrating
our relationship! - Well, I'm celebrating our
relationship and our marriage, not the wedding. - To be arranged in
the South I think has a lot to do
with the parents. Maybe more especially
the mother. I do not think I'm difficult
as a mother-in-law. Now that's my opinion. (laughter) Meghan might have a
different opinion. The mother-in-law
gets a bad rap! - Tell us what
we're about to do? - We are going to try my
dress on for the final time! - It's gonna fit perfect! - I hope so, you
remember the last time I had it on it was too
tight around my hips, and I wasn't able
to sit down, so. If that happens I'll just
stand up the whole time. - Hey, welcome!
- [Meghan] How are you? - I'm doing great, how are you? - Good, it's good to see you.
- [Woman] Good to see you too, good to see everybody, hi there. - Today I have my mom with me, my grandmother, my
maid of honor, Taylor, and I also have Lisa and Linda, that's Josh's mom
and grandmother. - How nervous are you, Meghan? - Just a little bit. Is it time to try it on?
- [Woman] Yes! - Oh you already got me ready! All right
- [Woman] Yes, I got you right there.
- [Meghan] Well I'll be back! I'm really nervous, because
if my dress doesn't fit, then I don't know
what I'm gonna do. - Meghan! - [Meghan] Huh?
- Does it fit? - I don't know yet. Any girl's relationship with
her mother-in-law is difficult. Josh's mom maybe
be five foot one, but don't underestimate her. She is very opinionated, and
she is a strong little woman. - Oh my goodness! - Oh that's beautiful! - Look at that. - What do you think? - Oh, is that not gorgeous! - You look curvaceous. - The dress is a little
snug, I was worried, and it is snug. - It's not the end of the world, we will ease it
out half an inch. - I'm glad that's
your job, not mine. I couldn't do it. You've gained a pound or two. It's not gonna go anywhere. - The minute she put it on, I could see that
something was wrong. I'm just a little disappointed. There was a little bit of
wrinkling around her hip area. So sad! - [Woman] That's the
spot right there. - I am a bit
disappointed in myself, because I was just
hoping that, you know, I would lose some weight, but, I guess I'm just
gonna have to do more. - So that means we can't
have donuts this afternoon? - A good salad.
- [Lisa] A good salad, Meghan. A diet of salads. - I hope I don't look pregnant! (upbeat music) ♪ I woke up with the sun,
I felt like number one ♪ I call my friends
up everyone ♪ - How are you?
- [Payel] You look good! - We're gonna cook. It's all hands-on,
all hands-on here. - You have your
choice of an apron, so you don't ruin
your beautiful dress. - Aww! - Today I'm throwing a
bridal shower for Ragini, and we're doing a cooking theme. She doesn't even know
how to boil water. And I think that
that's something that my future sister-in-law
needs to learn how to do. You can start using that
when you cook for my brother. - Uh, yeah. (laughter) - Veeral's family wants
me to be traditional in certain ways, yes. They want me to be
able to cook for him. But I'm a more modern,
Eastern Indian woman. And so at times it
causes some clashes. - It's on you, Marcel, to
make this woman a chef. Because my brother
loves to eat-- - I think my in-laws are
sending me a very like, not subtle hint right now. - [Payel] It is so not subtle! - In the Indian culture, a
traditional arranged marriage, Indian women are expected
to be able to cook. And I can't cook worth anything. This is the kind oessure
that is on Indian women. - [Marcel] This is
for you, my dear. - Focus!
- [Ragini] Oh yeah. - Okay okay okay okay. So...
- [Ragini] Oh! - She doesn't know how
to cut a floret, so... - No but do you have
to cut off the stems? - [Marcel] You're gonna
need private classes! - The florets need
to be smaller. - [Ragini] Smaller?
- [Payel] Smaller. - I don't know if she
loves me, hates me, or is somewhere in the middle. I don't know sometimes. Okay here, I can do some--
- [Payel] No, no, it's fine. - No no, let me do something!
- [Payel] I need salt! - Oh, okay, salt. I'm supposed to be
enjoying myself, and I'm sad that this is how
my bridal shower is happening. I didn't picture it like this. ♪ I'm gonna let you down ♪ - In the Gypsy family, we
don't talk about romance. We don't talk about affection. I will tell my son, "Christian,
I wanna be a grandfather". And that's the
farthest it would go. - [Voiceover] Were you super
excited when you got back here? - We felt happy that we're
finally with each other. - That's all we could say. - No good, that's
about as far as we-- - That's enough. (laughs) - Check out at 12. - Okay. - It's actually past 12 already. - Are you serious? - Yeah we gotta hurry up. - When you get
married, as a woman, you know it is basically
a responsibility to take care of my husband. And I am okay with
that because that's the way us Gypsies
are taught and learn. - Put my shirt on
the hanger here. I'm very particular about
where my clothes are, where everything of
mine, my belongings are, and how they're placed. - No, not that way, this way. - No! Yeah.
- [Maria] Yeah. (laughs) It is different, you're
trying really hard to you know, make
everything perfect for him, you know, pack everything right. It's nerve-wracking,
it's very nervousing. - Did we leave anything? - We didn't forget anything. So I learned that
she's responsible. Sort of. ♪ You can count on me
and I'll be there ♪ (relaxed country music) - My hopes for Meghan and Josh is that it will go
smoothly, with no problems, no issues. - Well I think what can
make a bad Southern wedding, is for too many opinions to be brought out. - A true Southern gentleman
has to know how to dance. The guy keeps his
eye on the lady. And she just kinda looks
really pretty dancing. You're there to
make her look good. - My mom was a ballroom dancer, at the national level
when she was younger, and still loves dancing. She choreographs everything
that she can get her hands on. She really wants our
mother-son dance to be special. - Knock knock! - [Lisa] Quick quick slow. - Oh, that was good! Lisa is a previous
ballroom dancer, and she has very high
expectations for our wedding. - Okay, the question is, what did you want ya'll to do? (quirky music) - We're just gonna wing it. - I think you should have
something planned though. - We're just gonna wing it. For our first dance, we're
gonna dance to a country song. You know I just
kinda want it to be just kinda intimate
between the two of us. - I had a suggestion. Have the DJ break
into charleston music. And just do, charleston. - The charleston? - [Josh] Yeah I figured it out
- [Lisa] Yeah. - [Josh] Took me a while. (old timey dance music) - Step, touch, step touch. Step, touch, step touch. Step, touch, just
light on your feet. Step, touch. And you would go,
da-da-da-da-da. - You gotta smile the
whole time, right? - And then she turns around,
and you whistle for her. (Josh whistles) You come up, and
don't let me fall. - [Josh] What?
- [Lisa] And you jump! You sling me around behind
your back, like that. Like that!
- Oh my! (quirky music) Are you serious? - And then you carry
her off stage like that. You know? - Do you remember how
tight my dress is? - Well we gotta figure out
some way to make that work. - Most Southern
girls try to always be on their best behavior. Normally when I
disagree with Lisa, or someone who I
respect, you know, I would never just
come out and say, "No, I don't agree with
you, that's not right, "I don't wanna do this." - Jump just like a
baby in his arms. - And I'll catch ya. - [Meghan and Lisa] Whoa! - Keep both of your legs
out at the same time. - And then sling her around, and don't stop 'cause
you have no spring. (Josh whistles) - Whoa! Oh my! (laughs) - Yeah, when you jump
just get the momentum, and help him to go around. There you go, good. There you go! (Josh yelps) You shouldn't feel heavy to him. - You're not! - Well now I didn't
mean it in that way. - If it came down to it,
with Meghan and my mom, I would not get in the middle. So I'm definitely gonna play
the diplomat in that arena. - What do you think,
think about it? - I'll think about it. (laughs) Hell no! (upbeat ethnic music) - When a Romani
couple gets married, the rule is that they
should stay three years. In mother and father's home. To follow the tradition,
to learn these ways, and to pass it on. - You're gonna have to carry
her through the threshold with her--
- [Chris] Why? - Cause I said so!
- [Chris] Why? - 'Cause that's
what you gotta do! - [Maria] I don't wanna do that. - Marriage in Gypsy
tradition, you're arranged, you get married, you
really don't know them, and that's a part of marriage. That's why the first
year of Gypsy marriage is actually one of
the hardest years. They call it the "paper year". 'Cause it could shred so easily. - We're home!
- [Nina] Yay! - Yeah there's
pressure for Christian, to learn to become a man. To become the head
of the household. - We're home! - [Nina and Michael]
Welcome home Maria! - I always knew this
day was gonna come, but I mean, it still is scary. You're just gonna
be in a new house, with new people
that you don't know. - Man she's got a lot of stuff! (Michael laughs) Be careful! I'm feeling a little awkward. This was the first time
that Maria was in my house. Maria, where do you
want your wedding dress? - [Maria] Um, I don't know. - All right, I just moved
everything downstairs, it's your job to
pack everything away. - The role of a Gypsy wife is just take care of your husband. Every Gypsy girl
grows up knowing that, but that doesn't
mean that it's easy. - Put away my things. These are my drawers. - It's very stressful going
from being not married to being married
and being a husband. You have to take on
a different role. Unpack your things! - Why? - Because why? - Because it's too hard! - Just do it, you're
getting me mad! - Well I don't feel like it. - Well I told you
to do it, so do it. I am so tired. My culture relies on me to be sort of an
authority figure. And right away, I have
to jump into that role, that I'm not really
familiar with. - Suddenly, in, with what,
a few hours of a wedding? It just changed my whole life. (hip hop style music) - I'm at my in-laws' house, it's very weird
waking up in you know, a house that really isn't yours. And to a family that
really isn't your family. But I mean, they are
my family, I love them, but they're just not
my father and mother. - [Nina] Good morning baby. - [Michael] Good morning. - Christian still sleeping? - Yeah, he's still sleeping. First morning, it
is a little weird. When you get
married, as a woman, it is your
responsibility to serve your father and mother-in-law. - Thank you, I got two cups. - [Maria] Yeah.
- [Michael] Thank you Maria. - I understand exactly
what Maria's going through, moving in with us. I did it when I got married,
I moved in with his family. You know that that's
what's gonna happen. So you sort of deal with it. If she's not happy,
people will say like, "Oh my God, this one, why
does she have a cry face?" So what do you want Maria
to make you to eat, Chris? She said she makes
good meatloaf. - Yeah, meatloaf,
mashed potatoes, corn. - Her family told us that
she knew how to cook, so I wanted to test her out. I wanna see how
good you really are. Why don't you guys
start getting ready so you can go to the market? - Listen, this is your
first responsibility. Shop, you're cooking,
you're driving. Do what you guys gotta do. - Allrighty, let me get my keys. - [Voiceover] In half a mile,
turn right onto Myrtle Avenue. - You have to tell
me where I'm going, I don't know where I'm going! - Don't you hear it? - Yeah I hear it, but can you
at least give me a warning? - Okay. - I'm expecting out of
marriage, happiness. I'm expecting to be taken
care of, but mutually. I never drove here in my life, I don't know where I'm at. - I'm expecting help. 'Cause you know, two
heads are better than one. All right, what am I doing? - When? - It makes no sense. - Make me turn right but I'm-- - [Voiceover] The
destination is on your right. - We was just getting a little
aggravated at each other. - [Chris] I have no
idea where anything is. - [Maria] Yeah. - [Chris] I think
five pounds is enough. - It's just hard because
Christian's at the back of me telling me to hurry up, and
I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know where anything is. And usually my mom
would just do it, and we would be rushing her. Now I know why it
would take her a while. - [Chris] What are you getting? - [Maria] Carrots.
- [Chris] For what? - [Maria] For the meatloaf. - Are you sure carrots
go in meatloaf? - Yes. - I never heard of putting
carrots in meatloaf in my life. - I know it sounds
weird and gross, but-- - It sounds disgusting! The experience in the
supermarket with me and Maria was one that I would like
to say I would forget about. I felt very awkward, I
just wanted to go home. Do you put anything else
weird inside your meatloaf? - His nervousness was
making me nervous. - Hold this for me.
- [Chris] Ow! Whoa, my sneakers man! She ran over my
shoes like 600 times. Can you stop hitting
my sneakers please? - I didn't hit you! I didn't think it
would be so hard. This better be the best
meatloaf I ever made. (upbeat music) - All right guys, so we're
gonna do a dance for Ragini, and Veeral, so surprise,
you're in a dance. Are you guys ready to
learn some choreography so that she's like, surprised? - [Group] Yeah! - We're at my sister's house. And I have to learn a dance
that I have to perform at the sangeet. Well sangeet is
considered a music party. And it's usually a day
before the actual wedding and the reception. Doing these dances
at our sangeet, there is some part of
traditions in there that are mixed, intertwined
with what's going on, and it's a cool thing that
when the groom does it, comes up on stage
and does this for his future-to-be wife. - But right now,
Vinny, let's be Ragini. - Me? Woo! - Take the hair out,
take the hair out! (laughter) Veeral you're gonna
be next to Vinny. - Hey baby girl!
- [Vinny] Hey! - My sister is a
very dominant woman, and so is my wife, so they
kind of clash a little bit, but they all love each other. So I have to always put out
fires between both of them. But I love them to death so, this is a scary look
right now! (laughs) - Five, six, seven,
eight, go one, two up three, four, down
five, six, seven eight. Then you're gonna rock this way. - [Veeral] Okay.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. You gotta like get into it! (laughter) - A little
inappropriate to do this in front of my sister
and my aunt here, but. Every day is stressful. Every day has been dealing
with something else or another, putting out fires. And I'm just ready for
this wedding to be done, and enjoy my marriage. - And then drop down
to your knee again. Get Vinny, pick him up, turn him around, and dip him. (laughter) - [Veeral] Perfect!
- [Payel] Awesome! - I'm planning a big surprise
for Veeral at the sangeet. And I'm gonna be dancing with
a bunch of my girlfriends. I'm super excited, I
really hope I can remember what I have to remember though. Oh I'll get it (classy instrumental music) - I don't know, I hear
about all these equal rights for men and women, and I just don't believe that. I am not a women's libber, I don't wanna be equal to men. (laughter) - I do. - I don't think a woman
should be President. Pregnant, yes. - Yeah, no.
- [Lisa] President, no. - Tonight is the
rehearsal dinner. I am freaking out, you
know, that's crazy, like, I'm actually
getting married tomorrow! - Just knowing that tomorrow
I'll be Mrs. Tavernier, it's starting to hit. - One thing I haven't
asked you yet, - Um... A little bit, I'll work on that. I can work on that. With Lisa, I always
feel like I need to meet her expectations and
be the wife that she is. But lord, let me tell you, now it is double
the pressure to be that wife that your
husband deserves. I feel very stressed out. ♪ I got him showin' me off
to his friends around town ♪ I got him spending his
cash every time I'm around ♪ I got that boy mind
gone yes I'm proud ♪ - We're all staring
at her cutting. - Yeah we're staring
at her cutting carrots. Show us how you're
chopping your vegetables. - Okay (laughs). - Do you need me to
help you with anything? I feel weird having another
girl in the house with me. You hear so much, "Oh she
cooks she cooks she cooks", I wanted to see if
it was true or not. - Make sure you cut
the onions small. It's very very weird. - This is getting me nervous. Cooking for the family
for the first time was, it was nerve-wracking. I didn't know where
everything was. Which one is it, this one? - No. - Oh you're frying
the vegetables Maria? Really, Nina, you usually
you just put the vegetables inside the meatloaf. - Yeah, we make this
totally different. So you put it in hot? - No, I let it cool
down a little bit. This is my first big test. If the meatloaf
doesn't come out good, I don't know what I'm gonna do. - [Michael] I am hungry. - Hopefully it's done. - [Michael] Are you
guys ready to eat our first dinner
that Maria cooked? Thank you Father, for this food
that you've given us Father. In Jesus' name, amen. Let's dig in. - We're gonna see if it's good. - When everyone
started first eating, I was a little nervous that
maybe they wouldn't like it. - Chris, what do
you think, come on! - I'm eating all of it.
- [Michael] He's chewing. He's chewing, yeah.
- [Chris] I'm eating all of it so I think we're
doing good so far. I thought that it wasn't
gonna be any good, it didn't look very good. But it turned out to be good. - [Michael] Better than
your mom's? (laughs) Look Nina, look at Nina's look! - I always wanted a daughter, but I'm like, a little
jealous of Maria because she's taking over my job of
taking care of Christian. - [Chris] Thanks Pop. - The food was great. Much better than Nina
when she was a young girl. Nina's gonna kill me for
that one, but whatever. Now we've got two good
chefs in the family. Me, and Maria! (laughs) - Whatever man! (Pachelbel's "Canon in D" music) - Southern roots,
I think children that were raised with the
values that our children were, they respect their
parents' opinions, and they look to their
parents for their blessing. - I think so too. - I think that's
a Southern thing. - Today is our wedding day. I'm getting my makeup done, trying to calm
down a little bit. I'm worried about
everything going perfect. - Knock knock!
- [Meghan] Hey! - [Ladies] Hey, how are ya'll? - Oh God help me! - [Lisa] How are you? - [Maria] I'm good,
how have you been? - Lisa has very
high expectations. And sometimes she makes me feel like I'm disappointing her. - I'll just sit there
and bite my tongue, because I was raised
a certain way, and you do not
disrespect your elders, especially your mother-in-law. - She's a good lady in training. - She is a Southern
lady in training, we're trying to teach her,
we're constantly correcting her. - We do, she gets--
- [Lisa] About how ladies act. - Lisa corrects me a lot. And sometimes that
can hurt my feelings. - She wants to do it
right, she really does. - She listens to us
most of the time. She eats good Southern
food too, she loves to eat. - That's gonna be a problem. Big problem. - Banana pudding. We've got to start
teaching her how to make banana pudding.
- [Lisa] Oh Meghan, you've got to learn to
make banana pudding. Yeah, we've got to teach Meghan. - Meghan doesn't know how
to make banana pudding? - Meghan do you know how
to make banana pudding? - Actually, I've heard that
my cousin, she makes the best. - From scratch?
- [Meghan] From scratch. - [Linda] Okay. - [Meghan] But I'm
willing to try any recipe. - It's got to be the
homemade boiled custard. - [Lisa] You know that's Josh's
favorite, banana pudding? - Oh is it?
- [Lisa] Yeah. - I didn't know that. It's my wedding day. With my in-laws, oh my God. It's like a vicious
cycle that never ends. music) - [Voiceover] Give her a
kiss, there you go, aww! (laughter) - Putting on my dress
was a big moment for me. You know I had my
mom, my grandma, Linda and Lisa,
and I had Brooke. And then obviously,
Taylor and Molly. Southern tradition is to
have all those special people that have given you stuff. You wear something
new, something old, something borrowed,
and something blue. Brooke let me
borrow her earings. My mom, she gave
me a new bracelet. - Stick your leg
up there, Meghan! - Lisa put the garter on me. - To be honest, my
stomach hurts so bad, because I'm so nervous. (hip-hop music) - Chris, wanna get
a slice, all right? - All right. - Now that Christian
and Maria got married, and Maria is in our home, We all have to make adjustments. I have to teach him
responsibility of being married. You gotta start taking
care of your household, 'cause you never know. Pretty soon you'll have a kid. And you got responsibilities. And you gotta be your own man. - My dad got very serious
during the conversation, and I was like, all right. Like, all right, whatever. - I wanna know what's new,
what's been different with you. - Everything's fine. - What is she thinking about us? - She likes you guys. If I was in her position,
I would like you guys too. It is what it is. (phone rings) - [Michael] Hello? - No, I'm sticking to my
Atkins and having a salad now. Buy me a salad for later. I didn't like that chicken
that you made last time, make me something else. - [Nina] All right.
- All right, bye. You see that? That's an example there. She won't make a salad without my approval. You understand? The most important thing
that me and Nina are doing, is setting an example
for Christian and Maria. You're the leader, you're
the head of the household. If you want your way
and she wants her way, you're gonna start disagreeing. Then there's problems. Your mother's opinion, and my
opinion, are the same thing. You understand, Pete? That's gonna take time,
Christian, you understand? - Yeah. My dad, he tends to
like put me on tilt. But I guess I just
have to man it up, I have to get up and
do what I gotta do. - We'll see how it goes, huh? You guys want anything else? - [Boys] No. - I didn't even eat my salad, 'cause I'm doing
all the talking. (upbeat dance music) (champagne cork popping) (ladies cheering) - So my friends
and I are in Vegas for my bachelorette party. I have 10 of my closest
girlfriends here. We're just going
to have a mix of hanging out, going out. - [Voiceover] The
bachelorette says drink. - It's gonna be a great
time, I'm super excited. - Hey babe!
- [Ragini] Hi baby! - What are you doing? - Wait, you're gonna
actually go ATVing? - I thought you were joking! I thought that was
some kind of joke, trying to be like you
thought you were some badass. - I think, I don't know if you
should be doing this, babe, right before your
wedding, it's dangerous. - I don't think you
should go, like literally, just go to like a
pool party instead! - Do what you wanna do,
but call me afterwards, make sure everybody is
you know, safe and fine. - I love you. - [Voiceover] We need
some music up in here! - So I'm kind of
an intense person, so the idea of going
ATVing is to get me out of my comfort zone and
conquer those fears of mine. (engines revving) (cheering) - [Voiceover] Ragini look out! (screaming) - [Voiceover]
Ragini, are you okay? ♪ I do, I do, promise I do ♪ I do, I do ♪ - Do you like it? - I'm very proud, so pretty. I just thank the Lord
for putting Meghan I truly believe the Lord had
his hands in their meeting. - We were both raised
Southern Baptist, and when Maria arranged
for Meghan and I to meet, I knew she was the one,
right at that first date, looking back. She was just the one,
that was kind of, that was when I knew. - I am nervous
now, very nervous. To be honest, I like
taking deep breaths, like, it's gonna be okay. - When she started
walking down the aisle, I definitely could not
take my eyes off her. I didn't see anything
except for her. She's so beautiful. It's hard to believe I was
gonna get to marry her. ♪ I'm all in ♪ Take my hand baby
don't think twice ♪ Today's the day
when it all begins ♪ and baby ♪ I'm all in ♪ - We're gathered here
today in the sight of God to celebrate the relationship
of Joshua D. Tavernier, and Meghan Marie Huggins. Let us pray. Father we honor you,
and we thank you today. Please place the ring
on Meghan's finger, and repeat after me. With this ring. - With this ring. - [Minister] I take
you as my wife. - I take you as my wife. - Meghan, place this
ring on Joshua's finger, and repeat after me. With this ring. - [Meghan] With this ring. - [Minister] I take
you as my husband. - I take you as my husband. - By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you
husband and wife. Joshua, you may now
kiss your bride. (cheers)
(applause) (uplifting music) - All right, time for air. It's my honor and pleasure
to introduce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Joshua
D. Tavernier. - I am married! I'm a Tavernier. All the stress is like gone now, now I can enjoy
myself, I'm so excited to spend the evening
with my husband. Crazy, right? - I really couldn't
be more excited now, it's the first hour of
our new life together. - [Groomsman] Oh yeah,
what's up Mrs. Tavernier? - Now that we're married,
we head to the reception. Now I have to deal
with the situation with Josh's mom and
our first dance. I hate conflict, especially
if it's your in-laws. (applause)
(cheering) - [Voiceover] At this
time, our bride and groom are gonna be doing their first
dance as husband and wife. ♪ No I've never seen
nothing like you ♪ - The wedding was
absolutely gorgeous, but Josh and
Meghan's first dance, it was just very simplistic. But you know, Meghan
is a little bit safe. - Lisa's a very
opinionated person. She had a lot of opinions about what we should do
for our first dance. But I want it to be
just kinda intimate between the two of us. It was perfect. (applause) - [Voiceover] At this
time I want to ask Josh and his mom
to come forward. - Where are we going? Right here? - I think it's a special time
to do something extra special, not just a side-to-side
slow dance. So I'm gonna stick to my guns. hopefully it will be a
very special moment for us. (applause) (elegant ballroom music) - After we finished
our first dance, and we did not do the charleston like Lisa had asked us to do, she was like, adamant
that she'd one-up me. I was shocked to be honest. It honestly pisses me
off, I'm not gonna lie. (elegant ballroom dance music) - Josh and Lisa dancing, hmm... - Being caught in
the middle of two, very powerful women,
and what they want, is definitely tough. But Southern men are,
in a way, mommas boys. You know, mom is
always gonna win. - [Lisa] Quick, quick, slow. - To be honest, I think it
went on for a long time. It was time to get
my husband back. - [Lisa] Good job! - Thank you. (upbeat dance music) - Mmm, that's the lemon! - We're ready to pass on the "taking care of Joshua"
baton to Meghan, she's as beautiful
inside as she is outside. - I'm a wife! Now, Lisa, she kinda
played the role that I'm hoping to
be able to play. You know, cooking dinner,
keeping the house clean, you know, things like that. I'm sure she'll still
offer her advice though, 'cause she loves to do that. But as his wife, he's
mine, and only mine. (cheering) Everything was just
exactly what I wanted. It was my dream wedding,
and it's just so sad 'cause it ended so fast! You know I wanted
it to last forever. You know, everything
was perfect. And the rest is history. - First thing's first. We have to practice making baby. (Meghan laughs) - You better not! (Josh grunts) (Meghan shrieks and giggles) - I fractured my leg
in an ATV accident. - [Voiceover] Ragini look out! (screaming) - I'm really nervous
about whether this is gonna
affect the wedding. If I'm gonna be able
to walk down the aisle, if I'm gonna be able to dance. It's just the worst
possible timing that I could have imagined. And i'm just trying
to stay hopeful that maybe this has
a chance of healing. (upbeat music) - [Veeral] How's your leg feel? - [Ragini] It's still
hurting really bad. - I got you dinner. - Oh thank you! I'm not touching it.
- [Ragini] Okay. I know, but just be
careful, it's really sore. - I know. - I can't believe it happened. It's so close to the wedding
that it's making me nervous. - I warned you. - You never warned
me, not even one time. - I did warn you.
- [Ragini] No. - I told you how
dangerous it can be. - I asked you if it
was easy to maneuver, you said yes.
- [Veeral] It is easy, for somebody that
can ride motorcycles, and has experienced
these things. But for somebody that's a
novice, it's not a good thing. Ragini went to her bachelorette
party in Las Vegas, and she ended up
breaking her leg. It pretty much sucks. But at least Ragini
and I do live together here in Los Angeles, so
I can take care of her. You gotta do it. Rest, ice,
compression, elevation. That's your therapy right
now, to heal this bad boy. - Yeah, obviously
I'm worried about how am I gonna get things
done for the wedding, like I have to be mobile-- - We have my family here. - But you know I
don't ask for help. - I know, but that's
what partnership is. - I don't wanna tell
anyone that I, you know? - They're your mom
and sister now. - Yeah. - That's how we kinda work, and you should not feel-- - But I know your sister's
got a lot going on too, with the kids.
- [Veeral] Yeah, but this is such a big deal, I
don't think this is, they would have dropped
everything for you! - I just feel like,
what is anyone gonna do? Veeral is more accepting
of embracing my family than I am, because
it's harder for me to be that way naturally. Me, I take time to kind of
warm up and get comfortable. I cannot see myself not
being able to dance. You know, at the Sangeet. Which I was supposed to
do with my girlfriends. - I didn't know you
were gonna do a dance. - It was supposed to
actually be a surprise, but it's not gonna happen now,
so it really doesn't matter. - I cannot believe she
actually broke her leg before our wedding. I hope we don't have
to cancel the wedding. - My leg feels really bad, I'm still terrified that I'm
gonna be in this condition at my wedding, and it's just
such a devastating thought. - We're gonna be eating a
lot of five-dollar pizzas. - We're gonna be
living with his brother to save money and stuff. (loud burping) - What do you think about
Christian and Maria? - I don't know. - Make me feel like, oh,
maybe we made a mistake. - Well you know
what? Maybe I did! - Why don't I just go? I'll just leave. And maybe your life
will be better, maybe you'll be happy again.
