that my parents can meet our son,
which is very, very difficult in the circumstance we're in.

me finish what I'm trying to say.
You constantly asking me makes me feel like you
don't want him to be here.

No, that's not on me because that's how I'm taking in
your constantly asking a question.
Nicole, I'm just telling you how I feel.
I know.
I understand what you make you think in the situation.
But I'm telling you how it made me feel.
And the fact is, you don't want to recognize that.
That's what worries me the most,
is that you don't see from my perspective to even,
like, hear it because your response right now
was instant, "You know it's on you."
Right.
I could say exactly the same thing to you.
You know it's on you.
Nicole, you're insecure about him going, it's on you.
All I've ever wanted you is to see your family more
and to have your family come here.
And all I ever want is my son to get
to know his grandparents.
Why wouldn't I want that?
What my grandfather meant to me and what my nanna
means to me is the world.
I wouldn't be the woman I am today without them.
Why you were reacting the way you were
is because you thought I was gonna, like,
take the trip away.
And I wasn't doing that.
But you know that's what it feels like, right?
Saying that I have to continuously respond
with the same thing, you continue to push me and ask--
But why is that so hard to do?
I don't understand--I guess, that's what I don't understand.
How hard is it to just say, "I promise, OK."
Because you know that's not normal, right?
People don't do that.
I definitely think moms out there,
if their son was going to another country--
OK.
Artem, I know you're an amazing dad.
I know you're never gonna let anything happen to Matteo.
You know my personality.
I'm trying to play by what you want.
But when it's not that way, I feel like
there is no other way.
You're asking me constantly, should we give Matteo this?
Should we give Matteo that?
You still did whatever you wanted.

I'm out here keeping a tally.
I think that's just one thing that I noticed that I've
lacked a lot in our relationship and one thing
that I really yearn for is just feeling appreciated.
And it's just the little things like these mean more to me
than, like, you will ever imagine,
that you took the time and you've thought
about the things that I absolutely love or even,
like, thank yous.
Sometimes you get a different kind of Nicole
because I'm just trying to get through the day
and get things done.
But I don't get those, "Thank you for doing this,"
that keep me the type of woman that I think you want.
Instead, it just kind of makes me feel like
kind of household in a way of, like, well,

Oh, my. - Hi.
Hi.
I'm gonna go get my son and the rings.

Where is the car?
Think about doing this--
the most important speech of your life.
And I'm already stressed, sweating.
I'm just trying to, like, remember the words

Mom, what did Artem say?

Artem, what do you mean the rings aren't in the safe?
I never took them out of the safe.
Artem--OK.
OK, well, just go.
They're waiting for you in the lobby at the Ritz.
So just go get them.
I'm just going, what are we gonna do?
And again, I have still vows in the back of my head.
But we can't even get to the vows until I get the rings.
And everyone's waiting.
No, I'll get him.

OK, put one foot in.

This one was my great-grandmother's
engagement ring.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Right there. Oh.
No, I don't know where they are.
Does maybe someone have a ring we could borrow?
OK, I'll look.
We can make this very special because I have
my great-grandmother's engagement ring,
which is my something blue.
And for something borrowed, we can just borrow
a wedding band for Artem.
[babbling]
Oh, yeah?
Tay. Tay Tay, come here.
The rings? You got the rings?
- No. - No?
Did you take the rings?
Can I have him? - Well, I don't think--
Can I just keep him?
All right, Tay Tay.
Are you ready to get dressed?
OK.
And then deep breath.
Everything's great.
I'd love to know where the actual rings are.
I know. Baby, let's go see Mama.
Let's go see Mama.
Is that Mama?
Baby, oh.
Dad.
Dude, I'm stressed about my speech.
I'm trying to find the ring.
Like, this is, like,------- disaster.
I need to find my backpack. Where is this backpack?
- Did you see Artem? - Mm-hmm.
How's he doing?
I just told him to take a deep breath.
Everything's good.
He just can't believe he can't find the rings.
I've never seen Artem being so stressed.
Like, I could see, like, fear in his eyes.
And it was like, he didn't know what to do.
All good?
No, I have no rings.
He's pacing around the venue, like, going
from room to room, like, going--
All the guests kind of feel that energy too.
We need to find backpacks. - Do we have the backpacks?
- Like, it's really-- - The one we came in together.
The backpack, the black backpack that we came in--
- It's mine. - No, it's Artem's, actually.
Yeah. - OK, let me grab it.
I just need to see it. Yeah, thank you.
So we should probably try with the ceremony
in ten minutes?
Yes.
Do you even get married without rings?
Or should we just call it a night?
I mean, what do we do?
What is the procedure when you don't have rings?
The whole purpose of doing it is this, right?
I went through all of my clothes and everything.
I just don't even know who to blame for this.
There is just no explanation why it's not in the place
where it could have been.
This is like-- it feels to me like this is,
like, the most important backpack in the world.
I feel like we just went to Louvre
and stole, like, a bunch of diamonds.
It's not funny at all.
And if this is a joke someone playing,
I'll be very upset.
When did you check the safe?
Just right now.
I walked all the way to the hotel.
Oh.
What time is it now?
I'm gonna go check on him.
So where are they? Where are the rings?
So we need to borrow a ring.
Do you think we could borrow-- - For a guy?
Um, well, J doesn't have one on.
My brother maybe wouldn't be too big.
Can we borrow your ring? Can you get it back?
I love your dress.
- You too. - It might be big on him.
But I think it's better than nothing.
- Yeah. - Something borrowed for Artem.
- Yes. - [laughs]
We have a ring.
- Yeah. - Uncle Bill's the best.
He's like a dad.
Why is Artem calling me?
Brie, Artem's calling me.
Can you--
We're just gonna use Uncle Bill's ring.
What is that?
We're just gonna use Uncle Bill's ring.
We're just gonna use someone else's ring?
Well, if you can't find yours--
Well, I know that they were in the safe in home.
I mean, I'm not...
If you put them in the safe, then I didn't--
I didn't touch them.
- OK. - All right, bye.
OK, bye.

How is she feeling about that?

But she's, like, well, it's just for today.
And then we'll get him a new one.
All right.
Well, I say we do this before anything else bad happens.
Nothing bad is happening.
Do we stand now?
Yes, right.
It's not about putting a ring on the finger.
It's more about what you say, and the moment,
and just being in love.
I mean, unless there's something else
that's bugging you, but don't let the ring thing,
like, bring you down.
