in choosing you to be who I--
- I can confidently say, Eliza, that I am in love with you.
- I found my person.
Like, I am going to be engaged.
- There will be drama.
- This is not how I thought this was gonna end.
- At the end of all of this is a potential engagement.
I'm freaking out.
- [crying]
- There will be tears.
[all crying]
Paradise is coming to an end...
- [exhales deeply]
- And the pressure is on.
- An engagement, that's all you seem to care about right now.
- I don't know what more I can do.
I don't know what more I can be.
- Who will leave brokenhearted?
- My heart's telling me to get engaged,
but my gut's telling me, don't do it.
- [crying] No. - OK.
- Who will get engaged?
- I hope you know how much I value you and care about you.
- I definitely see myself getting on one knee
and asking you to be my wife.
- And who is getting married?
I now pronounce you husband and wife.

- It's a new week in Paradise, and there's kind of just,
like, a weird vibe on the beach.
Last night's Rose Ceremony
pretty much changed everything.
A lot of people went home last night.
Blake and Jess broke up, and Blake left.
Tyler and Mercedes broke up, and Tyler left.
And Rachel went home.
Taylor went home. Brayden went home.
Five people, and we expected only three people,
so last night was pretty crazy.
- Good morning. - Morning.
- [sighs]
- So time's definitely running out.
Paradise is coming to an end,
and big decisions need to be made very soon.

- Okay, maybe we can sulk for five minutes,
and then we start forcing ourselves to have fun.
We got to just pick ourselves up.
Number one, tequila shot.
- [chuckles]
- Ooh, we could build a sandcastle.
- Build a sandcastle! - Let's build a sandcastle.
- All right, number two, build a sandcastle.
- I think Mercedes and Jess are feeling discouraged.
- Okay. Let's go.
- They want to stay and, you know, keep hope alive,
but with Paradise kind of wrapping up soon,
I think they're also realistic in terms of, like,
okay, how much time do we have left here
and what can we really--you know, what can really develop?
- Every morning, I would put outfits on
because I was always excited to see Blake's,
like, reaction to my outfits.
It was really weird putting on bathing suits today
because it was, like, who am I impressing now?
- Tyler didn't really give me any, like, affirmations
or, like, anything like that.
But, like, I do miss having him here just because, like¿,
that was my strongest connection.
But I also had to put myself first,
and so I'm proud that I did that.
And I'd rather be back at square one
than be pursuing someone who...
doesn't even know if he wants something out of here.
- Exactly.
- What made you choose Tanner last night?
Did you--do you like-- do you want to explore?
- Tanner was someone, like, day one that I wanted
to get to know... - Meet. Mm-hmm.
- But it just never felt right having Blake here.
- Yeah.
- I'll tell you what... - Where are they going?
- I hope they fall in love with us because they are gorgeous.
- Yeah, dude, dude. [laughter]
Hey, can you guys not look so good down there, please?
Don't do that. Don't do that. - [laughs]
Obviously, I'm still processing Blake,
but as much as I can be, I am looking forward
to getting to know Tanner.
Part of me is just scared because I look at the couples
that feel solid and it's like, are we
going to have enough time to get to that point?
Like, I don't know.

Three... both: Two, one.

totally flip-flopped. - Yeah.

And then the ones that were, like, really kind of rocky...
- Kind of going through it.
- Like, we're--we're gold now. [laughs]

I mean, everything's going really well with Kat,

We have gathered here today to witness
and celebrate the union
of Mari Pepin and Kenny Braasch.
Two years after these two lovebirds
met on this very beach, this special day
is now finally here.
Everybody here has been inspired by your love,
and they've all come to Paradise
to hopefully find their own love story.
Two years ago, Mari and Kenny met as strangers in Paradise.
Mari arrived with an open heart,
and Kenny arrived completely naked.
[laughter]
Your time here on the beach certainly
was full of its ups and downs, but, ultimately,
after cleansing their energies,
these two found a best friend,
a co-parent for Monster and Dice, their beautiful dogs.
They found someone who saw the best in them
and someone who not only accepted them for their flaws,
but also love them for it.
And I think, most importantly,
they found someone who refused to give up on them.
So it's with great joy that two years later,
we are back here to witness the culmination of Mari
and Kenny's love story as they commit to a lifetime
together as husband and wife.
Now, Kenny and Mari have each prepared
their own personalized vows for each other.
So, Kenny, the floor is yours.
- Whew. - [giggles]
- Um...
Mari, I remember our first moments in Paradise.
I remember watching you walk down
the stairs right over there, literally,
and seeing you for the first time.
Right in that moment, something told me
that we would end up together.
I know it wasn't that simple, because this is Paradise,
and nothing in Paradise is simple.
We have been together almost every day
since we left Paradise.
And the more time we spend together,
the more I fell in love with you.
[soft music]
I promise to be at your side, no matter what,
for the rest of our lives, or at least the rest of my life.
That's an old-man joke.
[laughter]
But in the end, we have so much history here in Paradise.
We met here, got engaged here.

And even though you might look all big and tough

So today and every single day for the rest of my life,

I feel like he'll see the bigger picture, so...
I miss you.
- Well, tell me what's going on.
- No, it's annoying,

I don't know.
I don't know how to navigate it.
I know.

- Yeah, so I'm just like, are these reservations,
like, realistic?
Or are they, like, red flags, and I should be like,
okay, clearly, he's not the one.

it comes to engagement.
And I guess I'm just, like, trying to shift the energy
and focus to making, you know, the right decision
for both of us. - Right.

it's got to be perfect. - Yeah.

got to be right.

Nothing else matters, except an engagement.
And everybody believes that.
It's, like, ridiculous to me.
But I'm excited about the thought
of me and Kylee outside of this.
So I don't know what to do.

I really just don't.
- Like, old Kylee would just be like, okay,
like, whatever you want, I'll do it, just
because that's the easy way. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- But I want to leave happy in this,
and I don't want to leave with any regret.
So it's just like, I don't know what to do.

Just follow through what you want
and what you came here for.
If you don't, you'll walk away being like,
why the [bleep] can't I just stick to my guns
with this [bleep].
- Bible? - Bible.
- I feel like...
I have a fresh perspective.
At the end of the day, I don't ever want to force
Aven into doing something.
But if he has any type of love for me
and he knows he sees a future with me,
then why not do this for me?
I know what I deserve, and I know what I want.
And I don't know if I, in this moment,
see a future with him if he's not even on the road to,

I was so excited, and I was so ready.
But then now, like, when the big conversations are
being had, we're on two completely
opposite ends of the spectrum.
It would be one thing if, like, I didn't really care
about the engagement and I was just
content with leaving here.
- Yeah. Wish me luck, boys.
I got to go talk to my woman. - Yes, sir.
- About to be a queen. - I know. Right?
- And then, like, I see all of these other couples,
like Eliza and Aaron B,
like, happening around me and it not happening to me.
So it just really sucks.
- Oh. - Hey, Eliza.
- Hi. - Oh.
- How are you? - I'm good.
- Can we go talk? - Yes.
- Come on. - Ooh.
[laughter]

I'm just so happy to be where I'm at in this relationship
with Eliza.
Like, I never thought I'd find someone like her.
- You smell good. What is that?
- Bug spray. [laughter]
And just how I see love and how I see engagement,
how I see marriage, how I see a partnership with someone
has changed 100%.
I just want you to know, and I want to just reassure you,
like, I want this with you.
- With me?
- I only want to do this with you.
- [laughs] - Yeah.
Let's do this together. - Yeah?
- Yeah. - Let's do it.

this just makes sense.

- So it doesn't become, like, an argument.
- Right. - So he probably doesn't know
how strongly I feel about this...
- Yeah. - Because I've settled with,
like, his way and his side. - Yeah. Yeah.
- I would say take your own advice.
Don't hold anything back. Go all in to your conversation.
Lay it all out there.

to, like, run, but I don't want to.
I'm still trying to make it work.
I'm gonna ride it out with hope

then I don't know.
I don't know. [sniffles]
- Like, I'll start, I guess. I, um...
I've just continued to, like, in my thoughts,
go back to our foundation from the beginning of this.
And it just makes me so hopeful for us,
like, at how well we hit it off and how much we have in common
and all the things I love about you and all the things
I want to know about you outside of this
and get to know everything.
So I know that the engagement aspect of this
is important to you.
I know how important it is to you,
but I just don't want that to be...
the, like, detriment to why we don't even give it a shot.
- No. I hear all of these things that you're saying.
And, like, you're literally telling me
everything I want to hear.
But I just, like, feel like if you're so sure about me--
I think that's just where the disconnect is,

then, but you're not willing to get
into that headspace with me,
