- Met with Daddy the other night, he's gonna cover what I went over. - We're marrying our finances together. Every mistake she makes, I'm making that same mistake. What's gonna happen when it's just us? - It's the night before the wedding. No no no Viki! - I haven't written my vows yet. - You haven't written your vows yet? - Zero. What's that [bleep]? - Why are you all on the game? - Are you serious right now? - [Maria] I'm very serious. I cry all the time and-- - [Nina] What do you mean you cry all the time? - [Maria] Put yourself in my shoes, how much more can you take? ♪bright, upbeat music♪ ♪suspenseful music♪ [wind chimes] - You make me feel like, oh, maybe you made a mistake. - Well you know what, maybe I did! - I'll just leave, and maybe your life will be better, maybe you'll be happy. - She's not gonna leave. I know her better than that, she's not gonna leave. ♪Jaded, frustrated,♪ ♪got myself messed up on you♪ - I'm gonna stay here all day. (laughter) Lovin' that! - Oh the boys are here already. Christian and Maria were arguing, so I took the boys out of the house to a batting cage I figured it'd take their mind off, and maybe hit the ball a little bit, get his anger out. - Hey! - What's up? I called my cousin Josh, my cousin Chris, and they were there for me. - So what's the argument about, what's her number-one complaint? - That I'm too busy hanging out with the boys online playing the game. - I have a newsflash for you, that's every woman. I've been married to my wife for two years. And whenever I wanna go out with the guys, she's upset. That's normal. - As long as you ain't in the club, as long as you ain't drinkin', as long as you ain't doin' anything crazy, she's gonna be fine! - If it's better off just to go outside and take a walk, you relax, take a walk. - Don't mess it up. Relieve your aggression on the bat and ball. - Let's do it. - Let's see how you can hit. Come on, Christian! Take out that aggravation! - [All] There you go, good hit. (bat slamming) - That's the one. - Can I get in there a little bit? (bat clinks) - She wants to go see a show? Take her to the show. You wanna go with the boys? Guess what, give her 24 hour in advance. - [Chris] You had your first argument. - [Both] It's normal! - It's gonna get better! Because you're gonna learn from your mistakes. ♪laid-back music♪ [wind chimes] - Veeral is a mama's boy. He wants to buy some clothes, he send me the picture. "Mom, this is okay? This is okay?" Whatever he want, I buy for him. If I have money or not. Yeah, he's mama's boy. ♪electronic dance music♪ - It's the last night before I'm a married man, I have less than 12 hours before I actually get married. Please enjoy, there's vodka pani for you, so try that out. - [Guest] Okay. - It's an Indian delicacy, it's really good. Ragini went back to the hotel to get her beauty rest, but I'm staying here with my friends, we're gonna party all night, I'm not gonna miss this event. - [Female Guest] What happened to her? - She broke her fibula ATV-ing. ♪quirky music♪ - So it's the night before the wedding, and I can't sleep. I'm really nervous about tomorrow, and I'm worried about Veeral's behavior tonight, he was just acting wild like it was just a fun party, but the truth is we're getting married tomorrow, and I need him to take this seriously. ♪upbeat dance music♪ - Ragini thought I was joking when I called her today, I was like, "Hey, can you give me that template again, "to write my vows?" She's like, "Are you joking? "Have you not written your vows?" I was like "Oh yeah babe, I've written my vows". But I really have not. ♪quirky music♪ - I need him to be prepared with his vows and all those things. I just don't know if he's handling this, and frankly it's making me feel like, am I making the right decision? Is he the right guy for me? I mean, I want him to treat this like the biggest day of his life. ♪Try me, 'cause I might be♪ ♪the one you're lookin' for.♪ ♪Try me♪ - To be arranged means I want my husband to take care of me, I want him to bring me flowers. (both laugh) I want him to shoulder the responsibility of the family. In the South that's how we do it, isn't it? - (laughs) Yeah. - I'll just clean this up in a little bit, 'cause I wanna see this budget thing. - It's just gonna be a bunch of numbers. Right now I'm a fourth year medical student. She's graduating with her master's this year also. My total debt will be close to $280,000 when I graduate. I won't be making a physician's salary until six or seven years down the road. Right now, financially we are supported mostly by student loans, and our parents. Based on like what my salary will probably be, I'll start out at about 24 after taxes, all that crap that they take away, yeah, it's ridiculous. - Wait you're telling me that you're only gonna be bringing home $24,000? - Yeah, so it would probably be about the same for you. So, together we would have a take-home of like $50,000. - It was shocking, Josh had told me that we weren't gonna have any money, and he was right. We're not gonna have any money. - What are the things that we will have to pay for? Internet, TV, $150. - [Meghan] Gandalf. - And then student loans. Let's give you $100 a month on clothes. - That would be maybe a dress. - Then you better get some cheaper dresses. - It's not gonna be all fine and dandy, we're gonna struggle probably for the first couple years. And the reality has finally kinda set in with me. Okay tell me the figures. - 2000, 150, 240, 480, 1500, 750, 100, 160, 300-- - Shoot, are you still going for real? - 320, 80, 200. - 6300. There was no way we could do that. - And that's being conservative. - Almost 6200 a month just for bills. - I have to say, when we put numbers on paper, I think I might have even been more shocked than Meghan. - It would be nice if we could just stay here. - Yeah. - Josh's dad, Kurt, bought the house in Charleston for Josh and Jared, 'cause they both got into medical school and dental school. If we move far away, we will not be able to live there for free like we do here in Charleston. I know your interview's coming up. - Yeah. - So you have to do really good. This might be a possibility for us to stay here. ♪Neon bright lights♪ ♪Reflect in your eyes♪ - You know when me and Nina, the first little argument, was when we first got married. We just said, you know what, we're both married, we gotta make this work, and we started to compromise. We learned in the marriage. And people that are not arranged know each other before marriage. And they have the thought well, "I don't have to marry him." And we stick with it, the Gypsy people stick with marriage. ♪suspenseful music♪ - So me and Christian just had this really big fight, it's been the worst fight that we ever had. I am so hurt right now, he said very hurtful things to me. I don't know what to do, I'm so done, and so fed up with all this, I really. ♪suspenseful music♪ - [Michael] Nina we're home. - I felt good walking into the house. I was ready to apologize. ♪ominous music♪ She's not there. Maria? You know where Maria is? - [Nina] Should be downstairs. - Maria? Divorce is very rare in our culture. The Romani community would get very upset at my family, and would think of us as disrespectful, if we were to get divorced. Ma! My heart's racing, I feel it. I'm thinking, did she really leave me? I'm panicking, I'm a disaster. She's not home! - [Nina] What do you mean? - What you heard! - She has to be downstairs in the room, relax! - Would you really not pay attention? Did she really walk out? - [Nina] I fell asleep! - [Michael] Christian, relax, hold on. - [Nina] Whoa, hey, relax! - Maria! She's gone. ♪dramatic music♪ You're not happy with me, I'll show you, I'll leave. [wind chimes] Maybe it teaches you a lesson. - This really is my fault, I did all this. I'm the reason why she left. - Maybe now you'll have a smile on your face. She didn't leave. - Where was you? - [Nina] Where did you go and you didn't tell me that you left? - I bought tea, I bought soda, I went to the diner. I just wanted to get out of the house, and I just needed air. - I was beyond relieved. It was like having the worst feeling ever, and then for it to go (snaps) away like that. It was instant relief, she didn't leave. Thank God that everything's okay. Let me talk to her, come downstairs, let me talk to her for a little bit. You don't realize what you have, until you think it's gone. I had a heart attack just now. I thought you left, I ran up and down the house like a maniac. I had a heart attack, and I'm sorry. I thought you was gone, I thought it was over. - My intentions was not to leave the house and make him think that I left him, but to be honest, I'm very happy that I did leave, because it actually made him realize what he has could actually leave. - I always thought that I would come home, and you would always be here. I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry. And that I didn't mean what I said. I hope you didn't feel bad, I hope I didn't hurt you. - No you did. - [Christian] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. My family and everybody says, "Oh if you wanna "end an argument just say you're sorry." I don't like saying I'm sorry unless if I truly mean it. I really meant that I was sorry. Don't be mad at me. Don't leave me. - He said a lot of hurtful things to me, I don't deserve that. You know, maybe next time, I won't be here. - Me and Maria are still trying to get to know each other. I mean, we're trying to figure out how to be together, and in all honesty, we're just trying to figure out how marriage works. And I realize it's gonna take a long time. It's not a fast thing, and it's not gonna happen overnight. ♪slow Indian music♪ ♪slow indian music♪ [wind chimes] - I said, "No!" - Today is the wedding day. I barely got any sleep, the adrenaline was like rushing last night when I came into bed. After all of the dancing last night, my leg is really hurting. And Veeral, of course, was out partying instead of writing his vows. So let's just say I'm a little stressed. Veeral... I hope he's awake and showered. - I'm here, woman! - Are you serious? We're late! We were supposed to be ready by 10:30. and Veeral is still not ready. Oh jeez, good lord, come on, Ragini is like, ready, she's actually ready before you! You are late! - [Veeral] I'll be fine! I'll be fine. - I know, now it's hitting me. - [Payel] It's hitting you? - Um, I still only have half of my wedding vows written, I have to finish the rest right now, and that's what I'm doing. I'm not stressed, I got a good like 10 minutes to write it. ♪upbeat rock music♪ - [Josh] Let's go! - [Meghan] Feel like I'm about to die! - I'm about to graduate from MUSC, the Medical University of South Carolina. And I'd like to go into radiology. - [Meghan] How do you do this? (gasping) I am not an athlete! - I've been interviewing at a lot of different universities for residency positions. And today I'm interviewing at my home institution. - (sighs) At least this'll be a stress relief for what's coming up for you today. You need to take this serious, and focus a little bit more. Okay? - [Josh] Okay. - It's the only residency that you've applied to that's in South Carolina. - Yeah, but I mean you haven't really seen what all the other cities have to offer either. There are a lot of other places that are nice. What states are all these in? - Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas. - I can't imagine moving eight, nine hours away. - If we do move away from South Carolina, we wouldn't really be able to afford it. My entire future rides on this interview. I can't even put my finger on that right now. ♪hip-hop style music♪ - I can't believe the argument that Christian and Maria had. - Thank God she didn't leave. 'Cause you know what? I had a heart attack. - Well you know what, Christian knows now what he'll feel like if she does leave. The first year of marriage is your hardest year of marriage, because that's the time that you gotta learn each other's ways, and trust me, you're not gonna like each other's ways. Do you think Maria is the perfect match for Christian? - We gotta make sure that they are the right match. He's married once, and that's it. - Of course, I know that. I don't know, I just hope that we did the right thing, getting them married. - I have the same feeling, I think, I think we rushed him. I think I shoulda gave a little more time to Christian to be - A kid? - [Michael] A kid. - Problem is both of them need to grow up. - They'll grow up, but I hope they grow up sooner than later. This is our job as mother and father, to make sure-- - [Nina] To make them married once. - To make their marriage work, no matter what. Nina, I want you to put backup for Maria in front of Christian. When they argue, I want you to get mad, and maybe slap your son. What would be more of a big deal, slapping him? Or Maria to leave? - I'm not gonna smack Christian! - So he knows not to do it again! - Yeah right! I'll get mad at him, but I'm not gonna smack him, crazy! - He needs to man up, he needs to have some type of responsibility. He needs to know that things are gonna change. - You know what it is to be a Gypsy woman, and you know what to do about it. Handle it. - [Nina] Handle what? - Handle your daughter-in-law, you know, in a nice way. - I'm her biggest backup. - Yeah, but I gotta talk to your son. ♪upbeat Bollywood-style music♪ - We're expecting between 300-350 guests at the wedding. And people are literally flying in from all over the world. This wedding is expensive, it's $75,000-$100,000 at least. So everything has to be perfect. Can somebody go get my wedding planner? Veeral is about to start his groom's procession, and nothing is set up yet! This should be all set up! - [Woman] Right. - The guests are gonna be arriving! The ghost chairs that we got were not set up, and the groom's procession was already almost to the ceremony site. - Oh we're going straight down that way. - Straight from here to there? - There, yeah, that's it. - This should have been done like an hour ago! I'm gonna go out there, I mean... What is going on? This should have been set up! I don't want them to come and it to look like this! - We just have to take that cloth down and we're done, but the chairs still have to get, I mean, I'm not the chairs. - Well, when the groom's procession comes here, this looks so bad! I'm type-A, neurotic, high-strung, so I freaked out, and I had some strong words with our wedding planner and her assistant. Or my dad! Get my dad! Please, right there. What's going on? The chairs are not set up yet! - Tell the chair guy to hurry, he's right there! Not to be like, completely bridezilla, but this day is for the bride, so just do what I say. imes] - I choose what he wears. And he doesn't have any say-so in that. (laughs) - You'd never catch me in the world, buying a peach-colored shirt. (laughter) ♪The unknown♪ ♪doesn't scare me♪ - I need lucky boxers. Pants, undershirt, belt, shoes. It's interview season. I've already been on 14 interviews total. - We hope daddy does good today, don't we Gandy? So we can stay here in Charleston. - But today is definitely different, I'm interviewing at my home institution, here at MUSC. Now this thing's big. - Well, it's 'cause you're stressed. You still look amazing. - This interview means a lot to Meghan and I. We wanna be close, and this is the only place in South Carolina that has radiology. - Now remember, you can bombard people sometimes. So you know, just keep that in mind, because sometimes you can be, you know. My entire future rides on this interview today. It determines if we stay in South Carolina, or if we move away. And we don't have the money to afford that, we can't right now, we can't. ♪soft country music♪ It's a very long track to become a doctor. The first year I applied to medical school, I did not get in. And now I'm applying to a residency. And there are always more applicants than there are spots. There's always a chance that I could be one of those applicants that doesn't get a spot. Then I don't have a job for a year. And with all the stress with finances, what is that gonna do to our marriage? Me being the man of the house, the one that's supposed to provide. All right! That'll be like, why am I a man? Morning, how are ya'll? ♪I'm addicted to the sweetest♪ ♪ mistreatment-treatment-treatment - When the guy's mad, just be quiet. When you learn to shut up for him, automatically he'll maybe do the same thing for you. - It goes both ways, sometimes when I see her mad, I shut up for her. - [Nina] That's a damn lie. - She won't come and-- - [Nina] He gets more mad. (laughter) ♪upbeat music♪ (vacuum whirring) She's already part of the family. I wanted to have that mother-in-law, daughter-in-law talk. Wanna sit down, take a five-minute break. I want us to have a friendly relationship, but with respect. That's the way all us Rom do it. You and Christian's getting along okay? No attitudes from him? I want you to come with me with any problem. Just don't show it to the world. Don't take from here to go tell this person what's going on, to, you know what I mean. Whatever how yous are by yourselves, fine. But when you're around people, respect Christian, not embarrass him. I just wanted her to understand, respect in our Gypsy way is, it's a very big deal to all of us. I want you guys to learn the value of a dollar, so you know how hard it is to make a dollar. I'm gonna have to teach you how to wrap flowers, so you can come with me to sell flowers, so like that you could learn how to make yourself money. And then you don't gotta depend on nobody else but yourself, that's the best feeling in the world. - If it's a doctor, they'll wanna teach their sons, "Oh, go to medical school and become a doctor." I sell flowers, so that's what I can teach her. Once you get the hang of it, trust me, you'll enjoy it. - I feel like me and my mother-in-law are very close. She's not like those normal sakas where they're kind of like mean, and like, "Do this, do that", you know? - All right, do you wanna go to the store before the boys come back? - Yeah, we'll go to the store. - When I gave her that little talk, I think it went pretty well, I think so. But I mean, time will only tell. ♪bright, calm Indian music♪ (drums and cheering) - The groom's entrance into a wedding is called a baraat. And traditionally, you go on a horse or an elephant, or in my case, I went inside a classic sports car. And this is the last freedom I have as a single man before I get married. ♪Bollywood-style music♪ - So clearly the chair guy has not done his job. Veeral's already started his groom's procession. I can only watch while they scramble to fix this. It's complete torture. And I see my mom and my uncles uncovering them. As the milni comes closer-- - [Woman] Right. - The groom's procession, you want it to look like it's ready, not like it's in progress. ♪indian music♪ - Side was like screaming. - [Ragini] So laid back, like this was just any other day! - After the baraat, we join Ragini's family by the wedding area, and her mother blesses me. (laughter and clapping) I walk down the aisle with my big sister, it's kind of customary that she's kind of handing me off, and my parents following behind me. I'm just enjoying the moment right now, and I'm waiting for my beautiful bride. I'm just hoping that she's not stressed out. - Right now? - Are you sure it's time now? - We're about to walk down the aisle, and this is the moment I've been anticipating for all these months and, I have anxiety right now, I'm nervous, I'm scared. Oh my God, look at how many people there are! - I know! ♪indian music♪ ♪soft, romantic music♪ - I'm happy. - I'm about to walk down the aisle, my leg is broken, I don't know if Veeral's written his vows.

This is the girl I wanna spend the rest of my life with. (cheering and clapping) - I couldn't believe that this was happening, I was very emotional, I was sort of shaking, and he was calm, as always. The first thing that we do is put the garlands over each other. Be careful with the leg, guys.

So we prepared some vows of our own. Mine might be a little bit longer than Veeral's. (muffled laughter) Maybe he should go first. - I take you to be my best friend, my faithful partner, and my love, and my one and true only. I promise to encourage you and inspire you, and to love you truly through good times and bad. I will forever be there to laugh with you, to lift you up when you are down, and to love you unconditionally through all our adventures, in a life that we are gonna make together.

It makes the marriage work. - You guys are ready, let's do this. - [Michael] Just do me a favor, the ways he goes up the ladder-- - I got him, don't worry about it, as long as he pays attention, listen, just because it's a small roof, you can't take it lightly. That's when accidents happen, don't get over-confident. - Gotcha. - I never worked a day in my life, never worked. I was very nervous. - Well, he's a working man. - If it rains we're screwed. - You don't hear of gypsy doctors, gypsy lawyers, because we don't continue on to college. Normally a person learns from a professor. I'm learning from my older cousin. - Come on, keep looking up, don't look down. - I glanced down, bad idea. - How's those legs? - [Christian] Good. This was a tough experience for me. - You gotta take your hands, get in there, and clean that drain. - [Christian] Get all the leaves out of-- - [Stanley] Yeah, drain's gotta get cleaned. Put some muscle into it, you're not sweeping the kitchen! I wanna show you something, gimme the broom. I had to kick him in the butt a little bit to get him goin'.

There you go, now you got on the ladder. - I don't know if I'm shaking 'cause I'm scared to get down the ladder, or because it's cold. We'll say it was cold, but I think I was really scared of the ladder, that's why I was shaking. - [Stanley] You got three more steps, two, one. - Roofing is very hard work. - [Stanley] All right! - It's tough, but I'll have to get used to it. I have a car payment, bills don't pay themselves.

But I still haven't really processed myself how the entire day went. - Well I was hoping you might wanna discuss this over dinner? - Maybe, someplace close. - He will not tell me the information about how his interview went, and I'm just like, you've got to be kidding me! I am nervous now, very nervous. Are you gonna tell me about your interview? - Did you see that? - Josh? - [Josh] Sorry. What do you wanna know? - I just wanna know how it went! I wanna know if this might be a possibility that we might could be living in Charleston. - Of course it's a possibility. - Did you do good in your interview? - I think I did okay, I think it went well. Meghan definitely wants to stay as close to home as possible. That would be a big money-saver. But honestly, I just don't know right now where we're gonna be. - I thought you'd wanna tell me somethin' big. - No, I mean it was just, good news. - Guess that is good news. I'm very relieved that he did well today. Time will tell, you know? It's just a waiting period now, just have to wait. See what happens. ♪hip-hop style music♪ - All right, look, then you tuck, and then you fold it once so it doesn't open. Make sense? - My family's been in the flower business since I was a young boy. And she's been selling flowers since she was a young girl, so when she came to our family, she knew our trade. A Gypsy housewife, they gotta cook, they gotta clean. But the women that work have to go and work also. You know, always two incomes is better than one. It does make the marriage work, and it brings man and wife closer together. You're selling you, you're selling your personality. - [Nina] You gotta make them laugh. If the girl says no, tell her, "I wasn't asking you!" But as a joke, like "Shh, you're messing me up!" I know I'm good at it. I don't mean to sound like, "Oh I'm so great". - I'll say it, I'll say it. - I could sell ice to an Eskimo. - I was gonna say the same thing! - Right here. - [Michael] Oh, well. Exactly. - [Nina] Same thing. When we go inside, be a little more peppy. - The idea of selling the flowers, It's just getting me very, very nervous. - Don't be nervous. I'm like really loud, I'm really outspoken, I try and make people laugh. Maria's a little more on the shy side. I'm a little nervous to see how she's gonna react inside the bars. - Hi, buy a flower for the ladies! You don't want no flowers? - [Women] No. - [Maria] Why? - [Woman] No we're good, thank you very much, thank you anyway. - All right. You wanna buy some candy? It's only a dollar! - [Woman] No thanks. - Buy a flower for the ladies! - So far, it's not good. - Buy the lady a flower! - Yeah. (laughs) - I don't know, it wasn't working out for me. - Would you like to buy your lady a flower? - Oh thank you baby. - She's a beginner, I'm teaching her. - Gimme 10. - You gotta say, "It's $10" - It's $10, sorry. (laughs) - And tilt your head and be cute. - [Nina] It's teaching. - Practice makes perfect, the more she does it, she's gonna get much better at it. - [Both] She's trying. - Choose a flower baby girl.

Then there's some that you're gonna have to like, "You wanna buy a rose?" And the boys go sky-high for some reason. Like, "Oh, hi, you wanna buy a flower?" (both laugh) 97, 98, 99, 100. - [Michael] Let's go home. - [Nina] See hun, it's not that hard. - I really like working with my mother-in-law. I'm starting to feel like I'm a part of the family now, and I think Christian's feeling the same way. ♪slow Indian music♪ [wind chimes] ♪slow Indian music♪ - The wedding was this morning, and the reception is at night. I had a few hours to catch up on my sleep, and now I'm ready to celebrate with my beautiful wife. I wanna see Ragini, I know she's gonna look stunning. This is the girl I'm gonna spend wth the rest of my life, my everything. - The in-laws pick the look of the bride at the reception. And my mother-in-law gave me two necklaces, and I don't like a lot of jewelry. How do I make my mother-in-law happy, but I also wanna be me at my wedding reception. Is there a hook to make it slightly... - Smaller? - [Ragini] Longer? My mother-in-law wanted me to double up on the necklaces. Let me put this in perspective here. - Oh no, don't do that. - [Ragini] Like what is? I'm sorry future mom, it doesn't, that's a no. One or the other, and this one goes with the earrings. It's intense because you don't wanna disappoint, and you wanna start off your marriage on the right foot. - I don't wanna hurt her feelings, and I don't want that kind of stress between Veeral and I. - My mom bought this beautiful necklace and earrings, rubies, diamonds, many years ago. And this gift was gonna be for my future wife. And the whole wedding reception outfit was actually designed after the necklace my mom bought. - My first move as Veeral's new wife, is to piss off his sister, very smooth. Welcome to the family. ♪indian music♪ [wind chimes] ♪indian music♪ (cheering) - When I was walking into the reception, I could literally feel Veeral's family looking for the other necklace. This marriage is only five hours old, and I feel like I'm already disappointing them. ♪Shimmerling lights shake us off♪ ♪break us off make us feel invincible♪ ♪Every boy and every girl♪ ♪upbeat Indian dance music♪ - There's a lot of anticipation for girls about this event. Once it's over, you're kind of left with, now what do I do? - I feel with Ragini, she always has to do a project with her life, she's always on the next project, on the next project. - Veeral is my new project, yes, he is. There are challenges ahead, absolutely. I mean now, that's the reality of a marriage, so we gotta figure out finances, career, the house. There's one topic that I'm leaving out on purpose. - What is it? - [Ragini] Babies. - Oh, babies, yeah! - Because of all of the differences that we have, my family is a little bit more modern, his family is much more traditional. Obviously there's going to be challenges ahead, I mean you can't avoid it when we have completely different families. - [Veeral] We do, yeah. - You're my husband now, you're my problem! - That's like more the other way around! (laughs) (glasses clinking) ♪upbeat music♪ The morning after our wedding was not as pretty as you think it should be. - [Ragini] I don't remember anything, what happened? - [Veeral] Don't worry. - [Ragini] What about my shoes? - We were all pretty drunk, we went up to the presidential suite, we were all partying until three or four o'clock in the morning. Here, let me hold this for you, you hold the key. - That looks really obvious. - Nobody's gonna see it. - [Ragini] But if somebody does see us, they're gonna be like - Ragini had to do the walk of shame, in my bathrobe that I gave her, with her wedding gown. It looked kinda like Pretty Woman-like. Everything's gonna be fine. - All I was trying to do was get to my room. - I think this is pretty shameful. Veeral had this like side exit kind of plan. - [Auntie] Oh! - [Ragini] Hi Auntie! Perfect. - Every floor, every hall, we were running into somebody we knew. - I'll let you lead the way. - You have a good time? - No worries dude, had a great time. - Hi Mom! Everybody was there. - [Ragini] Everyone was, it was like everyone we knew, my parents, all of my friends, my relatives. I mean... - It was a interesting first wedding morning. - [Ragini] Yeah! - [Veeral] It was pretty bad. ♪Say that again♪ ♪Say it real slow♪ - All I wanna get done here today is make this a solid just like here, to separate the mares and babies. - Every time I'm back home my dad, he's gonna put me to work. - Let's just start at the bottom. - My dad thinks of me as cheap labor. As I've gotten older, it's definitely become a time where my dad and I get to talk. - It's the first time you picked up a hammer in five years. - It's true. - [Kurt] All right, drill the rest of 'em and nail it. - It's not entirely pleasant. - So how's married life going? - It's good, it ain't all peaches and cream, but... - What's the problems? - How much money to spend on certain things. - If you don't put your foot down now, you're not gonna have much leverage later on. You better set the guidelines now. - Yeah, how did you set the guidelines? - Told Mom the way it was gonna be. Tell her to get used to it, she's gonna have to suck it up for the next few years. - [Josh] I've told her that. - Just gonna have to learn how to budget money. - I'm just worried that for the next six or seven years Meghan and I will both be living on a lot less, it's gonna be apartment living, it's gonna be, not like her dream house like she's wanting. - Is she used to being spoiled? - She didn't even know how to fill up her gas tank until she moved down to Charleston. - Now you know, as soon as you graduate you're getting cut off. So you better be planning for it, and expect it. - Meghan and I were hoping to stay at the condo if I got into MUSC for residency. Now that we're getting cut off, that means that he's selling the condo. I don't know what we're gonna do. Don't you think you'd feel better about it if you like, just gradually, just gradually did it? Like maybe for the first year you still like maybe paid the rent? - [Kurt] It ain't happenin. You're what, 27 now? - [Josh] 28. - 28, I think it's about time that you make it on your own. - Hey I don't know if that's fair. - I see how many times you guys go out to eat. So you expect me to be sympathetic? Nah, I'm due for a raise when you graduate, and I'm gonna take advantage of it. - It's gonna be me supporting us, paying off both of our loans, and paying the bills, that's all on me. If we wanna have kids right away, that's definitely stressful, and it's definitely scary. - Nail that one off and you're done, I'll let you off for the day. - [Josh] Okay. ♪melancholy music♪ Meghan is gonna lose it when I tell her my dad is cutting us off. We have so much debt already, and then throw this on top of that. It's... She's, she's not gonna be able to handle it. (crickets chirping) - You promised me in front of God that you were gonna have one to nine children. - You just need to let that be for a little while. I don't wanna talk about babies, I just wanna be with my husband. - [Michael] You gotta take care of Joshua's kids. - All three. - This might be a test from my mom and dad. (baby crying) - [Maria] Okay, okay. - I can't take it, this is stupid. - Yeah, this was definitely a test. - We're getting cut off when we graduate. - What? You know how we had that little oopsie? - Yeah? - I went and got a pregnancy test.
