That was adorable... too bad, it was transporting the most miserable bride.

I don't think they went past the driveway.  It's illegal to ride in the back of a truck in Massachusetts.

There used to be more of it and I always liked it. I don't know Steph (of Steph and AJ, Philadelphia) sent AJ a bunch of her favorite beers. And I think it was Brandon (who turned out to be the devil in a tux) who sent a lovely Tiffany heart pendant with "Mrs Whatever-His-Last-Name-Was" to his bride to be; perfect gift for the most disastrous husband. Oh - and of course, last season Johnny sent a sports-themed gift that sent Bao into a tailspin...

Let's not forget the infamous infinity bracelet that Jake gave Hayley. She never wore it, her mom took it home with her.  He insisted on it being returned, she was such a b*tch about it!

[Starlight925]

I don't get the "Alyssa is beautiful" love.  Maybe she's cute in her Bumble pics, but my gosh, her sour expressions completely uglify her.

I've never heard the expression "Masshole", but she is one, regardless of which state she's from.  Girl is insufferable.  I can't believe she even has friends.

Having said that, I'm one who does think Chris should fix his teeth.  I'm sorry, but yes, it's important.  Invisalign + whitening would make such a difference.  I dated crooked, dark teeth guy for 2 years; I never could get over it.  I never said one word to him about it, as it wasn't my place, but a year after we broke up, he volunteered that he had gotten Invisalign.  I think the girl he dated after me said something, and I think she did him a favor.

This was funny to me because before the weddings she was the bride most focused on physical features - constantly talking about D size and chiclet teeth.

I think Alyssa is a huge ass for not going down the aisle with her dad.  Her dad wasn’t watching the wedding on zoom from a hospital bed, he was seated at the end of the damn aisle so he had to get there somehow.  Plenty of brides are escorted by dads in wheelchairs or walkers, or the brides supporting their dad during the walk.  It was a bitch move for her to be the center focus and “star” of her own wedding.

I could cry seeing his face.  Yes, he got in the church .. he could have at least gotten to the front pew to hand her over to the groom.  That’s how she will treat her husband, if there will be one, which I doubt, being she’s a bitch.

I dislike Alyssa at least as much as the rest of you but we really don't know what the discussion with her dad about walking her down the aisle was. Maybe it was his idea to just walk her to the door and then sit down at the back.  He was at her wedding and maybe that was all that was important to both of them.

Yes.. could be too.

[Lindz]

Noi's & Steve's statements were NOT vows!! Especially Steve's! That could've been a letter he sent her with a pre-wedding gift. Maybe they edited out their actual vows... The sash reminded me of Johnny's & Bao's tea ceremony. Too bad the show didn't get a traditional outfit for Steve. They could've used his measurement's from his tux fitting. He wouldn't have known.

[Lindz]

SHADY! SHADY! SHADY! SHADY! SHADY! SHADY! SHADY! SHADY! SHADY!!!! They are so WRONG for this!!!! & I hope they made it look like she made him look away to escape & she didn't really do that!!! 😂😂😂😂

[Lindz]

Ok. I admit. I cheated & read comments 1st & just now watched & that Alyssa BS is so bizarre. Do they not even know how to talk? She seriously said she's heard things that don't sit right with her & did NOT say what they were AND Chris did NOT ask?!?!!!! HOW do you expect to resolve it when you don't even say what it is?!!!! His response was, "I don't know what this is, but I had a really great day today." WHAAAAAAAAT??!!! That is so dismissive!! You don't know & you obviously don't CARE to know. Then said he was sorry if he did anything. HUH? An apology that you don't even know what it's for. That is NOT a solution!!! Then he puts it back on her, asking what she wants to do & if there was anything she wanted to know. Bruh! YOU didn't even care to know what she was talking about! Throw them both away! 😂 This is the 1st couple who couldn't even make it to the honeymoon suite! It looks like they won't make it through the honeymoon! I think she made up this "issue" so she wouldn't have to sleep with him. Her bridesmaids said she'd want to sleep alone! 🤔

In fact she learned to like Hype and later got her own dog.  Myrla is actually a decent example of why it may be better to ignore some of the more superficial preferences when matching couples.   

I'd like to agree with you and to think that anyone could come to love anyone regardless of looks, but I just don't think that's the case.  And anyway, that's what dating is for. 

Also, I'm not sure if this is significant, but Myrla had a dog in the past.

Alyssa likely had a laundry list of must haves for a husband.   There’s no way the show would find a guy that met all of them AND would do this show.      

Really.  What you always hear is how women can't find a man who wants marriage.  Seems to me if a man wants to be married, he could just barely broadcast it and women would be beating down his door.  Which makes me think--the women often say their picker is broken and that's why they're letting someone else do the picking, but do the men say that?  I just remember them saying they're ready for marriage.  So go pick among the millions of women who are also ready for marriage.

It was rude, I agree. I also didn't like when he told her he has ADHD, she immediately asked if he's on medication. That's  not really your business, lady. She could've asked him other questions, like when he was diagnosed, what are the positives of it, does he find it hard to manage at times, how does it manifest, etc. It just sat wrong with me.

She no doubt could have handled it much more gracefully, but the entire wedding and reception is such a weird situation I cut people slack for things that (1) happen in the moment and (2) are shown only because of a decision on the part of the show.

That said, when you add her rudeness about Olajuwon's name, she's pushing it.

[Lindz]

Noi & Steve were so far apart on the altar! (All of them were!) But they didn't even hold hands walking down the aisle & still had a lot of space between them. That was so odd.

But she did stay married to Gil on decision day, and their eventual breakup had nothing to do with his bald head (or physical attraction) or the pit bull.

Actually, she did say that she was NEVER attracted to him. Yes, they had sex and she played the game, but, she said she was never attracted.

Last season, Rachel basically said the same thing to Jose.  And we all know how that worked out.

I'm surprised Lindsey didn't pull a Beth & just got naked in front of her husband. Looks like she was tryna let something slip on purpose or was so drunk & tired she didn't care, unless she usually doesn't care if she's exposed. He looked like he was trying to cover her in she became exposed. 😅😂

Alyssa mentioned at dinner that they can only live in Scituate.  The median house price in Scituate is $879,000.   Does she make that kind of $$ as a social marketing person?  And she’s complaining that he’s a real estate agent?  Well, if you want someone to buy a $879k house, they need to have a job that pays well.  Like someone said upthread, I think she was looking for a male model or something similar.   They both seem rather boring to me but she seems to think she is so fun (she’s not).  
 

I am also a teeth person so I get that the experts screwed her over on that.  It’s like when Myrna said she hated dogs and they gave her a spouse with a pit bull.  I’m sure there were some people who applied that had nice teeth.  I would have loved to have seen her matched with a really good looking guy who wasn’t attracted to her to take her down a notch.  
 

Chris’s friends are assholes.   They were all unattractive and had personalities to match.   I didn’t like them in the scene before the wedding either, they just didn’t seem nice.  I do think you can tell a lot about a guy by his friends and those friends would have me running.  
 

is Alyssa and/or Chris Jewish?  Thinking she may be and he’s not, which could be another strike against him. 
 

Overall, she is just unpleasant.  She thinks wearing cowboy boots and rescuing dogs makes her so “interesting and unique”.  It doesn’t help her miserable personality. 

Agree with all of this, but the bold would have been utterly awesome!!!

Just like when Shawniece gave a lap dance during her reception, I really didn't like the lap dance in this episode.  Way to make an impression with your new wife's family (and I guarantee that he made an impression, albeit maybe not the one he intended).  I get it that he thinks he is all that, but how about some respect for your wife, her friends, and her family?

I was thinking this. He outdid her! He actually stripped! Fortunately, Shawniece couldn't. I hope she wouldn't have if she could've. 😅😂 It's too much!!! Again. He seems so needy. He is trying so hard. I don't know what for. Her love? Her attention? Her praise? Her sex? All of the above? He's exhausting! 😅

I disagree. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to expect basic decency from people, on TV or off. I don’t expect to be humiliated and made fun of when I start seeing someone new, and if they treat me that way, I end it. That’s what I mean when I say that people can not be into you all day long, but there are ways not to be an asshole about it.

In real life I totally agree - but if you come on this show, experience has shown that you need to be prepared for the worst!  Because if you meet a Zach in real life you can walk away; poor Mindy was stuck with his crap.

Oh my! The boobs disappeared with the wedding dresses for some of the brides! No wonder Katina got straps.

Supposedly, as she told production, while Chris was out in the hall like he was waiting for the principal, that he said that in the elevator and she was done.

Haven't gotten to that yet, but it makes me think he is acknowledging that she is most obsessed with her dog and the dog comes first? Because her vows said she likes animals more than people?

 I have to give her a tiny benefit of the doubt here.  My dad and I had a very strained and difficult relationship, and while I did invite him to my first wedding, there was no way I was walking down the aisle with him or doing the daddy-daughter dance or any of that shit. In my view he was lucky to be there at all😂 

[Doublemint]

OK I don't hate Alyssa.   I'm sure she was expecting tall, attractive, a professional, (lawyer, accountant, etc.)  She got short, homely bad teeth and a real estate guy.   I think she is very pretty (in the future she will have a jowl problem, but not for awhile).   She seems a bit Liz Taylorish (not Stacy London).  Chris seems like a jerk to me, and his friends did him no favors.  What's to like?  She  knew it would be uphill at the altar, but she thought maybe his personality and interests, income, etc.  would compensate for his looks.  It's more commendable to know it won't work from the beginning than to pretend (like Myrla and the nortorious Chris) and hurt someone. 

[JapMo]

Chris is really into the frisbee golf, you can tell.  I've watched it but never played it.  But just IMO, bragging that you are the President of your local frisbee golf chapter is almost as eyeroll inducing as saying you're into Extreme Ironing or National Scavenger Hunting. 

Seriously, though, it requires tremendous accuracy and ability to throw the frisbee for very long distances.  Problem is it takes up half the park, and you don't know someone is playing until they yell "Get out of the way'.     

[Crashcourse]

Since Alyssa likes to talk about horses and animal rescue, I don't see the issue with Chris talking about his frisbee golf.  And he wore nice shoes to the wedding, unlike Ms. Boots.

A real estate agent is a professional, IMO. Chris isn't a blue collar worker (not that there's anything wrong with that). And as someone who sold a place recently, a good real estate agent is worth their weight in gold.

Why would the man you described be on this show in the 14th season knowing what these "experts" and producers are capable of? What woman in her right mind would expect that person to be on this show when he has never been in a previous cast unless there was some sort of cash infusion or change in network/production company?

Alyssa is no Elizabeth 'the Magic 8 bride' Taylor. Ok, maybe during Ms. Taylor's slump in the late 1970's but that's about it. 

Chris' friends were drunk and probably a little jealous when they talked to Alyssa. Really their character in that unfiltered moment did seem to be better matches for her. I wouldn't be surprised if she did end up with one of them. Maybe she'll snag the tall ginger.  

Her worst offense for me was being a coward. If you don't like the man, say that. You are an adult. If you truly are so much more superior to this "jerk" act like it and just say you are not  a match. Don't scapegoat his friends, take swipes at his profession and beat around the bush about what the problem is to his face when asked.

Then say it - "I'm not attracted and I never will be - this won't work and I'm out."  Say it at the altar if you feel strongly about it.  Turn around and walk back down the aisle.  She didn't do that - she's just pretending that his stupid side-piece joke "made her sick" - really?

Jamie Otis was so disgusted by Doug's initial appearance she almost threw up.

She didn't start liking him until the honeymoon, when his personality revealed a warm, funny guy.  

But the big difference, and to your point, is that Jamie never let Doug know how she felt initially, to spare his feelings.  He was initially extremely attracted to her, so she went with it, put on her big girl panties, and decided that she'd let the process work the way it was intended to work.  Of course, now she's unemployed, living in a camper with multiple kids (including her husband, lol), but that's another story.

Speaking of Jamie Otis....can I say how refreshing Keshia Knight Pulliam is?  She's sharp, witty, and asks great questions and follow-ups.  She gives just the right amount of energy.  I actually watched the whole first episode, not realizing who she was until the end when she said her name, and I was like....oh Ms. Rudy, you grew up so beautifully!

Maybe I'm sympathetic because I don't think there's any way in the world I could do that.  Seriously.  I'm actually wondering what I would do if the man standing at the altar was covered with tattoos and face piercings, smoking a cigarette as his dog jumps on me as I walk down the aisle.

My rational self would say, "No. Way.  What were they thinking??"  But there's always a little part of me that thinks, "You never know."  Even though I think I know, maybe I don't.

The people on the show are obviously doubting themselves, or they wouldn't do the show in the first place.  And they've been sucked into the show's vortex, and they've signed contracts.  And they're in front of their friends and family and a bunch of strangers, with camera crews and producers all around. 

Probably the main thing I'd be thinking would be to just go through with it and fix it afterward if it turns out how I think it's going to turn out, because if I run now, I'll never know.  I put total trust in these experts and if I were so smart I'd already be married so obviously I don't know anything and these people are experts.  They probably know me better than I know myself, because they're experts, and maybe I'm just not seeing, yet, what they're seeing.

Yes to your post but especially to the bolded part. 

When I was single, (over 40 years ago in very different times of course) my attitude was pretty much that I would go out with anybody once. Now obviously if someone seemed really off that didn't apply but my point is,  although first impressions are often valid, there are times when that can change. So with that, I think if someone is signed up to do this married at first sight, I would expect them to give it a good try. I can understand having some reservations but to make a big thing of it just is wrong. It seemed that at the altar she was trying to give it a go and even a little bit of the after chatter she seemed to waiver and again, seemed to be trying to go along with it. I did think his friends did him no favors but I can't see where that would rile someone up - or even his sidepiece comment. 

As someone mentioned a few pages ago, this show USED to focus more on a couple trying to make things work out. It's really devolved.

 

[princelina]

Yeah I agree with all of the above posts and I don't think I could do it either, and I would be wondering what the experts saw and if maybe they were right, but then you do have to actually give it a try.  Jamie didn't say anything to Doug outright, but she cried and refused to kiss him and at first to even have him touch her, so he couldn't have been feeling great.  But they both went along with what was called then "the experiment" (now it's "this process") and seem happy enough - no relationship is perfect, and if they had gone on like most of them do to their regular life and jobs, rather than constant MAFS famewhoring, they'd probably be having a normal, reasonably happy life in New Jersey with him working for his family and her being a baby nurse.  The "experiment" meant you were to go with it and see what happens; whereas "this process" has far too much emphasis on them being immediately attracted to the other party or out.  The way the show has devolved is part of the problem, but I can't believe that anyone who goes on a reality show hasn't watched past episodes/seasons, so they should be totally aware that they may be matched with a jerk who doesn't like what they see and spends the rest of the time sabotaging the relationship.  Or maybe that they'll be given a decent human being whose goals and worldview don't match theirs at all, and there's no way they'd be compatible.  And I would like the show and the "experts" better if they spent one SECOND of their time reminding these people that they're supposed to be looking past first impressions, but they don't.

How does Chris look like a jerk?
