Wait till the wedding night, baby. Yeah.
That was till daddy dropped the bomb.
I don't think I like him.
But was daddy right all along?
-Where you been? -Uh, running errands.
Why you being so nonchalant? I'm sick of him doing that.
Love: And, tonight, meet the planner diva who wants to dominate.
-You have to let go. -I can't!
She needs to really calm down.
Love: She's battling a massive wardrobe malfunction...
-It's really not fixable? -It's too late, amber.
Love: ...And a soon-to-be sister-in-law

You and my brother should have stayed separated. [gasps]
we might need to call security tonight.
Plus... You want me to fail at being celibate.
...Alex's celibacy is called into question.
I don't care if I gotta stand up there
and get married with nobody over there!
And on wedding day, will alex choose craig or lose her dad?
You trying to get revenge on me! What?!
I haven't heard from my dad, and I'm just hoping
he is going to show up and walk me down the aisle.

Fine, girl. I'll marry him then.
I'm not cutting it, baby.
Hmm. We'll see.
This man going to wake up bald one day soon!
You feel that excitement you just had right there?
Yes! Yes! I know! We getting married in a couple of days.

Me and stephen met in the eighth grade.
♪♪
things in the eighth grade were a little weird
consider the fact that he had a girlfriend.
So you was kissing two girls at the same time?
Yeah, that was the climax of my life.
[laughs]
thanks. I thought that was supposed to be me.
[chuckles] oh, I'm sorry.
But at least you found love at a young age.
We lost touch after the eighth grade.
Oh, no! But, somehow in college,
he found me on facebook
and we kind of started hanging out.
Okay, good.
We broke up after college. Oh, lord!
You got a ring now. But this is six years later.
Y'all are on an emotional roller coaster.
Let me get my popcorn.
I fell in love with stephen
because he wants to see me happy.
Never wants to see me mad.
He's, like, so calm and cool and collected
and I'm just so out there. I'm a fireball.
We just fit together because when she's hot, I'm cold.
When I'm cold, she's hot.
He brings me down from 100.
Shut up. Like I said before, I'm going to do as much as I can.
I'm going to pull all-nighters, whatever has to get -- yeah, but you're doing as much as you can
for what you have to get done, not for what I have to get done.
The theme of my wedding is masquerade ball themed.
I'm also taking the tradition out of it completely.
There is absolutely no flowers, having a black dress.
The one thing that I wanted to stay away from was being basic.
Have you finished the painting? Like, are you completely done?
Only thing I have to do is sign the painting.
And when are you going to do that?
Doesn't it take, like, three weeks to freaking dry?
It'll shine more than the rest of the painting.
Stephen is a procrastinator.
I'm responsible for all of the artwork, the welcome signs.
They just might not get done
as soon as she'd like them to be done.
Yes, but if they would have been taken care of months ago,
we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Oh, she's right -- do the work or you're going to get work!
You know what I mean.
The most stressful part about planning my wedding
is stephen's sister, chenise.
Ah, yeah. Let the tea spill it, sis!
And this is our wedding day so, at a minimum,
she's going to perform for us because this is our day.
She's performing for you.
She ain't done (bleep) for me. Amber will call me and say,
"your sister is getting on my nerves and she's doing this
and she didn't do this and didn't reply."
then I'll call my sister and she's just like, excuses.
Um, possibly.
Her spot is just not secure at this point. It's just not.
[cellphone ringing] this is florence, hold on.
Hello? -Okay, babe.
-Hi, amber. -Hi, how are you?
Amber: Florence is my business partner.
I'm the bride, but I'm also a wedding planner.
Love: Hm, those two things usually don't mix well together.
Amber: We've been planning weddings together for about a year now.
I've got a lot of -- a lot of things going on right now.
She has taken on being my day-of coordinator,
but this is my wedding so I call the shots.
Florence: I am working out some final details with the vendor.
Don't make any decisions without talking to me.
You know, if she doesn't deliver,
it could put a damper on our relationship.
Love: My momma said never to mix business and pleasure,
but she also told me to mind mine,
so let me be quiet. Are you going to enjoy this day? Have you thought about that?
I'm going to enjoy it because it's going to be done the way I want it.
So, you nitpicking about everything for that day
is going to be how you enjoy it?

Now, something happened last night, totally not my idea.
Amber got a stripper. A stripper?!
I wouldn't even let him touch me.
Like, I literally ran from the stripper.
I already ain't having sex,
my first celibate relationship ever.
Why does that have anything to do with anything?
And-- because I'm struggling!
With a stripper, craig? I don't know!
Love: Oh, you worried because you got a shady past, craig.
-Where you been? -Uh, running errands.
-Where? -I don't know.
See, she's doing -- no, come on out here!
She got the stripper.
Tell him, amber! -What happened, bro?
Tell me what happened last night, man?
-Oh, how'd it went? -Tell him the truth.
What happened last night? Last night, oh, yes.
Oh, now you going to play dumb.
We had pizza and wings and I cannot --
so, you, so you all lying to me, bro?
Bro, it's cool, it's cool, bro.
Amber, tell him! I had the idea, it was me, it was me.
No, no. It's cool, bro. It's cool.
I'm finna turn up the night.
I'm finna get tipped for the night. Believe that.
My fiancé is mad at me for something I didn't even do.
Look what you did!
Is he really going to go and get a stripper?
Now I don't know if he's going to go get the stripper
and that's your fault.
Love: Yeah, it might be your girl's fault,
but is honesty really the best policy?
Coming up, amber's future sister-in-law
finally comes for her...
So, apparently chenise is outside. What?
We might need to call security tonight.
Love: ...And alex faces everybody's worst wedding day nightmare.
They're going to stop the entire wedding.
Love: Amber's trying to finish up some décor
with the help of her mom and grandma.
I just need to take this out. I don't want any leftovers.
Like, I don't want anybody to see any sticky stuff.
-It's not! -I see it.
If you glare at it, it is, look at that.
I have a little drink up there.
You want one? At this time, I need it.
I know you swole up bigger than a cow
because that's the anger that you got in you.
Love: Grandma, stop it!
But, amber, you're not perfect! I'm very perfect.

love: She might be mad at everyone in her life,
but amber is taking a night off from the bs
to get lit with her girls.
I'm so happy for this.
I'm really, like, excited about coming out.
-You needed it. You need it. -I did. I did.
Yeah. We're here to have fun with amber, you know,
get some of the stress off of her.
-[laughs] -I hope a couple of drinks
will make all the stress go away.
[cellphone ringing]
what are you doing?
Where are you at?
We need to talk.
So, apparently chenise is outside.
-What? -Pulling up.
-And she didn't come to the -- -exactly.
She's come to party, but she won't --
but you can't come try on your dress.
-Oh, wow. -She got a (bleep) nerve.
Chenise is stephen's younger sister.
Stephen wanted her to be a part of the wedding.
-Hey, amber. -But she hasn't been there,
she hasn't shown up and now she decides
to just pop up out of nowhere to have fun?
Love: Ain't nobody having fun on amber's watch!
She's about 11 months too late.
You didn't show up to my shower.
You didn't show up to my bachelorette party.
You don't respond to messages. I just don't understand why now?
I'm sorry. I'm here.
Love: Girl, ain't nobody behind that apology.
Can you at least try?
-Y'all alright? -I'm not alright.
I'm sorry for the past, but I'm here today.
Can we just go have fun?
Don't be sorry, ho, be careful.
I mean, you just really don't get
how stressed out I have been,
and you have been a part of that stress.
Like, I want to have fun, I want to be so positive right now.
I want to be in there getting drunk as (bleep).
I'm about to get married!
I was just coming to try to be here and have fun with her,
but I walked into something else.
I mean, what do you want me to do?
How you really feel?
♪♪
love: I'm wondering about that too.
Don't hold back, chenise.
Just tell her how you feel.
You and my brother should have stayed separated. [gasps]
-ooh. -Ooh, bitch. [laughs]
you got re-- hoo!
Love: Whoo! This girl went right for the knockout.
She just have a terrible attitude.
If it's not her way, it's no way.
So, the should've stayed broken up.
-Let me tell you something. -Mm-hmm.
So, I'm not going nowhere. That's for damn sure.
He knew exactly what he was coming back to.
Bitch.
Your whole family loves me. Sorry you don't.
I mean, so what you going to do about it?
We here to party or what?
Love: You don't want her to marry your brother,
but you down to party? No thanks.
We're here to party, but you're not welcome here tonight.
At least not with us.
They don't really necessarily deserve to be here,
because they ain't been that perfect neither.
Oh, amber. Always got to turn into a witch with the b!
We might need to call security tonight.
-I'm leaving. -We're going with you.
You ready?

love: You did just drag them, like, all the way to the ground.
I'm going with her.
You going too, with mercedes and chenise? Them toothpicks?
Us fluffy girls got to stick together!
Mercedes: This is too much. Amber is taking it too far.
I'm tired of it. -I'm tired.
There's no more that we can do.
Amber, at this point, I don't know where my best friend is,
but you need to find her.
I'm making it down the aisle with or without them.

love: It's three hours till alex's wedding.
Alex: The wedding starts at 3.30,
so if you could have the bouquet there by 2:00,
2:30 at the latest, that would be beautiful.
-Yeah. -It's my wedding day!
Janyia got her dress, it looks good.
I'm really nervous so I'm happy she came through with that.
I had my (bleep) together. [laughs]
love: At least she's here and participating today.
Let's consider that a small victory, okay?
Alex: I am still a little mad at amber.
She is going to have to tell craig
the truth because he's mad at me
and that is not right.
I'm struggling! And you out here with a stripper!
She's the one, she got the stripper.
Tell him! -Amber.
You trying to get revenge on me. What?!
With a stripper, craig? I don't know.
It's cool. I'm finna turn up the night.
I'm finna get tipped for the night.
Believe that. Look what you did!
I didn't want to ask craig that. I'd rather not know.
I don't know what he did last night.
As long as he is waiting on me at the end of that altar today,
it's all that matters.
Love: And what about the other man
you want to see at the altar?
[ringing]
alex: I haven't heard from my dad
and I'm just hoping he's going to show up
and he'll be ready to walk me down the aisle.
[cellphone ringing]
yes, trina? Trina: Okay, alex,
I don't want to burden you with a lot of stuff,
but there is something serious that we do need to talk about.
The church, it does absolutely sound like the gentleman
will not be allowed to stand up there with you.
This is utterly ridiculous.
They're not going to let me have the snow machine,
so I won't have any snow today, and now you don't want me
to let me have the bridesman stand on my side?
So, you're saying he's not going to allow it as
in my wedding is going to happen and if they stand over there,
they're going to stop the entire wedding?
Yes. He might not even come out to do the vows.
Love: What? You for real?
Not the first time the issue has come up.
So, we talked to the church today
and they don't want guys to have on makeup or women's clothing.
I have never worn a dress in a church, not just that church.
Is he getting married or am I getting married?
I'm really confused right now.
Like, you want to plan my wedding for me,
thank you bishop, but no thank you!
I'm going to handle it. We'll see.
We're going to just let trina figure it out.
If she can make it work, then we'll make it work.
But I don't want for him not to marry you
because of his feeling towards us.
Trey and terrill have been there the entire time.
They supported me.
The limo is about to leave, I got to go.
They really deserve to be up there with me,
so if they can't, that's going to suck.
♪♪
love: Alright, finally some good news. Craig is here, y'all.
I just kind of let my emotions get to me, but no strip club.
If her dad shows up and walks her down,
that's all the validation that I will need.
We got to go.
So, I show up to the church and I don't see my dad.
I'm hoping that he's going to show up today.
-It's 3:26. -Lord have mercy!

But, um, it's her life -- she can do what she wants to do,
and I just need to probably do a better job of supporting her.
I still think it's just rushed.
Mnh-mnh.
I'll work on it, but I doubt it.
Love: I get the feeling no man would be good enough for his daughter.
You going to walk me down?
Oh, don't you play. You here now, it's too late.
We can do it again in two years. No!
-It'll be right in two years. -We're going through right now.
We going to do it right now. -Alright.
That won't happen.
[laughs]
-alright. -Alright.
Love: Oh, that was sweet.
A little scary coming from a man in the funeral business,
but we got ourselves a wedding!
I couldn't be more excited or ready to get married.
Oh, and I love how there is boy, girl, boy, girl. I love it.
The compromise that trina and the church
came to was that the guys
and the girls would be mixed on each side.
It's a compromise,
but we're going to do whatever we have to do
to make sure that the wedding happens.
Love: It all came together.
Craig: Oh, wow. The smoke came out.
I was like, "oh, man, this is so beautiful."
I was so happy her dad showed up.
Seeing him come down, I feel like he approved it.
Love: Just barely, but we made it this far, craig.
Alex: We started out good.
He started crying and I was like, "dad,
please don't do this. Don't cry."
and he was like, "I'm sorry." I was, like, "oh, my god."
[crying] it felt good to have that feeling from her dad.
I know, baby. And I definitely think you guys
are going to form your own relationship.
It felt so good to have that feeling.
Look at craig! Letting the tears flow!
Officiant: Who give this woman to be wed?
I do. Love: Y'all crying, because I'm a little misty?
Officiant: Craig, do you take alexandria to be your wife,

Alex, do you take craig to be your husband?
-I do. -Yes, momma.
I therefore pronounce you husband and wife.

I don't get no kiss? Oh, yeah, that too.
[laughter]
but you held out so long.
You may now kiss your bride.
Love: Craig just got the green light.
Easy now, we in church.
We are ready to skip the whole reception in my opinion.
