0:00:02 > 0:00:03On this episode,
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Cary and Aileen are taking the plunge.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10But this wedding will be like nothing you've ever seen.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Because it is being planned by the person you'd least expect.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Oh! Oh, oh!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Oh! Oh!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20The groom!
0:00:20 > 0:00:24We've given Cary 25,000 to spend,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26but just three short weeks
0:00:26 > 0:00:27to plan the entire wedding.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30It is absolutely more work than I thought.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32With absolutely no input from his bride.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36'One thing that Cary needs to get right'
0:00:36 > 0:00:37would be the dress.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41And only one source of support - his best man.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43I think renting a dress was the best decision we made.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Wheeler dealer Cary pinches pennies to afford the bachelor party
0:00:47 > 0:00:48of his dreams.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49ALL: Cheers.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53But his pent house Vegas weekend brings his bride to tears.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55After the whole Vegas thing I found out...
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I felt like crap afterwards when I heard that.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Can he win her back with respect for Korean tradition?
0:01:01 > 0:01:05The traditional Korean wedding involves birds that mate for life.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Can this man...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I haven't had time to think about the wedding.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10..give this woman...
0:01:10 > 0:01:14It's very scary knowing that Cary is going to be planning our wedding.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16..the wedding of her dreams?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Oh, Aileen!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24BRIDE SCREAMS
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Meet Cary and Aileen, our adorable engaged couple
0:01:32 > 0:01:34from Torrance, California.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36They go everywhere together.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37My name is Cary.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- This is Aileen.- Hello.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And we are getting married in three weeks. Crazy!
0:01:42 > 0:01:43I always thought he was cute.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44I had a little crush on him
0:01:44 > 0:01:47because he was in a band and he was the lead singer.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50The moment I saw her, I knew she had some spunk to her,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52and that really caught my attention.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I went to his show, like, a few times just as friends.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57And I was like, "Dang."
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I definitely wanted to play it cool so when I saw her I was like,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02"Oh, hey, how are you doing? I'm Cary, nice to meet you."
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Afterwards, I told my buddy Miguel, "Man!
0:02:04 > 0:02:08"Dude, she is really cute. I really hope to get to know her one day."
0:02:08 > 0:02:12He was really friendly, really nice guy, definitely stood out to me.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14So, he's a good-hearted guy.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17We became best friends and now we're about to be life partners.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20So, I mean, that's how it all started, really.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Dude, it still looks all nice right here.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24It's still blinging, huh?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- It looks nice on you.- I love it. - You still love it?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Love, love, love.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30'We've been together for five years and engaged'
0:02:30 > 0:02:33for five months now and we have been waiting
0:02:33 > 0:02:36'to get married for financial reasons.'
0:02:36 > 0:02:38'I faced a lot of turmoil a few years ago -
0:02:38 > 0:02:39'I lost my job, I blew my knee out.'
0:02:39 > 0:02:45And I lost a lot of money investing in a company
0:02:45 > 0:02:48'that went pretty much downhill. So, it's just been tough'
0:02:48 > 0:02:52for us to really focus on saving up for a wedding.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53I'll marinate some fish.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You still have to wash all these, right?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57'Aileen is Korean, I'm Japanese,'
0:02:57 > 0:02:59however we're second generation,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02so we still hold strongly the values of our culture.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04And so with Aileen's side,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I definitely think her parents will want to see a lot
0:03:07 > 0:03:12of the Korean traditions being embedded into our ceremony.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14And I think that just shows a lot...a sign of respect
0:03:14 > 0:03:17of us respecting their cultures and giving back.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20The salmon teriyaki that I made last time. I got some more sauce.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Are you going to make that today? - Uh-huh.- OK.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26As far as my relationship with Aileen's parents is concerned,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29because of the language barrier, there's not much that we can
0:03:29 > 0:03:33communicate and discuss, so it's usually more a "Hi, bye."
0:03:33 > 0:03:36"How are you? How are things at work?"
0:03:36 > 0:03:39That's usually about it. That's all I can ask for at this point.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41'So, the next three weeks,'
0:03:41 > 0:03:43it's going to be tough knowing that
0:03:43 > 0:03:47'we won't be hanging out, we won't be doing dinner together, him cooking,'
0:03:47 > 0:03:50cos for the past year and a half, we see each other almost every day.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Pretty much.- Yeah, even though we don't live with each other.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55But, yeah, we do see each other every day.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58'The cultural and spiritual background'
0:03:58 > 0:04:02just entails us not living together prior to getting married,
0:04:02 > 0:04:03and stuff like that.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07We just want to respect that and let it flow naturally.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08- It's been fine.- Uh-huh.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- Just like this.- OK, OK. Is that cool?- Yeah.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19It's very scary knowing that Cary is going to be planning our wedding.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I don't have a set plan right now.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22I'm really, like, freaking out.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26'She is a better planner, I'm more, "Wing it and see what happens."'
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I'm just like, "Dude, I'll figure that out
0:04:28 > 0:04:30"when I feel like figuring it out."
0:04:30 > 0:04:34'Cary never writes anything down and he forgets'
0:04:34 > 0:04:36almost everything.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39'What adds to my stress is that I'm going to be working full-time
0:04:39 > 0:04:42'throughout the entire process, so I foresee'
0:04:42 > 0:04:45just being up until four or five in the morning,
0:04:45 > 0:04:46just researching.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50I love music and so,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52'in my ideal wedding, we would have a band.'
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I prefer not to have a band. I'd rather have a DJ.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59'As for food, I don't want buffet style.'
0:04:59 > 0:05:02We'd have four different stations with different ethnic foods.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I'd rather have everyone gets their own plate.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07One would be, like, an amazing taco truck,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09another one would be a ramen station.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11My ideal colours would be grey and yellow,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14just cause I like how those two colours flow together.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16'I was thinking of pink,'
0:05:16 > 0:05:18but not like hot pink or pink lemonade,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20just, like, that soft pink colour.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24The theme that I would want for my wedding would be an antique,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28vintage, creative wedding.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30'I love little bridges'
0:05:30 > 0:05:32or bird figures, like,
0:05:32 > 0:05:37I think that would be really cute and easy to incorporate into a wedding.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38'I really enjoy'
0:05:38 > 0:05:40the French colonial theme, with a Southern feel.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42One thing that Cary needs to get right
0:05:42 > 0:05:44'would be the dress.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47'If the dress isn't right then,'
0:05:47 > 0:05:50no, I can't be happy with that.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53For her dress, I think I'm going to just go with the classic white.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I don't like white.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I definitely want to throw a good bachelor party, so to do that,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I want to cut costs down here and there.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02You ready to go?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04'I think the process of the three weeks,'
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'm just going to be so swamped with the planning process that...
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Right.- Although I'm going to be sad and I'll be missing her definitely,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm just going to be thinking about preparing this wedding.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Once I see her walking down, I think that's when it will hit me,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18like, "Wow, I missed her, you know, this whole time.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20"I can't believe this is happening."
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I think that's going to be the defining moment, definitely.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24- OK?- I love you, OK?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- No crying.- Don't worry.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I might have to do it, though, when we get married.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Anything important, we've done it together.- Right.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38'So, just knowing that she is my best friend, my other half,'
0:06:38 > 0:06:41not having that while making the most crucial decisions
0:06:41 > 0:06:43of my life is going to be really tough.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Woo!- Last hug.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Wish me well, OK?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Baby.- I love you.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Bye. See you.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56'I feel sad knowing I won't see him,'
0:06:56 > 0:06:59but that just means we are getting closer to our wedding date.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02He's gone.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I just left Aileen's house.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11It is very emotional to know that I'm going to be spending
0:07:11 > 0:07:14the next three weeks apart from her completely.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16A lot of emotions will start hitting.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17But tonight I'm going to relax,
0:07:17 > 0:07:21spend some time with my parents, have some good food,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23go work out and just let it all sink in.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Wait, what about planning your wedding?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Cary won't be planning the wedding alone.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34He'll be joined by his buddy, TJ.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37The two met at a friend's beach party two summers ago
0:07:37 > 0:07:39and have been best friends ever since.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41He is super sincere, he has good style,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43he is in with the cool, you know what I mean?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44I definitely trust his judgments.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I think he's going to be really stressed out throughout
0:07:47 > 0:07:49this whole process, so I'm really going to have
0:07:49 > 0:07:50to be there for him.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Kanpai.- Kanpai.- Kanpai.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56When it comes to, like, TJ and I, we're like pure goof balls
0:07:56 > 0:07:57'and we just horse around.'
0:08:00 > 0:08:02All in all, we're going to have a good time planning this
0:08:02 > 0:08:05and our buddy beer isn't going to hurt us.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- I'll need you to help me out, though. You know what I mean?- Yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- I already, kind of, started this spreadsheet.- You did?- Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12A spreadsheet?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I'm engaged, so I'm getting married soon, as well,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17so I feel like I have a little bit of a leg up.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20So, we've got the venue.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- OK.- I've given that about ten grand.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Steep, steep. All right, I've got the bachelor party down for a grand.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30A grand? That's it?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32THEY LAUGH
0:08:32 > 0:08:35What are we going to do, like, go play tennis or something
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- and then a fancy dinner? - Hey, man, I'm being reasonable.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Wait till you see the rest of the spreadsheet, all right?- All right.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45But keep in mind, TJ, we want to do everything we can to cut the costs
0:08:45 > 0:08:48so that we don't have to short-change our bachelor party.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50This can't end well.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52You're really into this party. More than me.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- I thought I'd be all about the bachelor party.- Here's the thing,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I'm all about the bachelor party because, at the end of the day,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01nobody's going to care about the cake or the transportation
0:09:01 > 0:09:03or the invitations, you know?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I'm all about making the memories happen,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- not about the actual product or placement.- Gotcha.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'm definitely excited to plan the bachelor party.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I've been to a couple of bachelor parties and, you know,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16my bachelor party is coming up in a little bit, too,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19so I have had some ideas working in my head.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I hope that we can hash those out for Cary's bachelor party.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Don't worry, we'll change it up.- OK.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- We're going to make this the best wedding ever, man.- I like that.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32And this is for real, dude. So, while I want it to be fun,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I want it to be imperfectly perfect,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- you know what I'm saying? - Definitely.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37BOTH: Kanpai.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42The boys quickly hit the road, eager to start off on their new adventure.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45You know what? Going into this whole project, like,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49I know that a perfect wedding is not going to, really, be happening.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52'I think that as long as I can get the basics down,
0:09:52 > 0:09:53'I think that whatever comes,'
0:09:53 > 0:09:54we'll just roll with it.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Their first objective is to find a venue.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00They look at a place called the Verandas...
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Nice!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04..with friend and fellow groomsman, Miguel.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07This is totally not what I expected.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Hey, how are you guys doing? Welcome to Verandas.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- I'm Cary.- Nice to meet you. - Your name?- Mike.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Nice to meet you. Thanks for having us. This is cool.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- No problem.- This is beautiful. - Let me show you around.- Sounds good.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Up the stairs, guys, let's go this way.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- I'm guessing this is the reception area, right?- Yes.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- We do the cocktails up here. - This is sick, man! This is perfect.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28This is where I get my dance on, right here.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Let's go. - HE HUMS
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Come on!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Dang, dude!- This place is kind of cool.- You know what?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I am digging this little lounge area.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41So, along with the price, comes the cost of food and everything, right?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Correct.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45The price covers everything you see here - tables, chairs, linens.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48When I first walked in, I was pretty floored.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I was like, "Whoa, this is real pretty. It's elegant."
0:10:51 > 0:10:53If I booked our wedding here, I think it would be in amazing.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I love this location - it's right on Manhattan beach.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57It's right down the street from our homes.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Should we pop the question, dude, the million-dollar question?- Yeah.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- If we're talking about 130 to 150 people...- Yes.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- ..what are we talking about in price?- About 18,000, roughly.
0:11:10 > 0:11:1418 grand is nearly double what they budgeted for their venue.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17But the boys don't seem to be too broken up about it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Our groom, Cary,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25is overwhelmed, pulling double duty,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27working at a sunglasses company
0:11:27 > 0:11:30and planning a wedding for his fiancee, Aileen.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Oh, maybe that's why he's so in the dark.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35He plans to get a venue for under ten grand
0:11:35 > 0:11:38so he'll have more to spend on his Vegas bachelor party.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- We got that 10K under our belts, dude.- Under our belts.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42It's going to be our sword,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45it's going to be our freaking katana, man.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47That's going to be our, what do you call it?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Our shurikens as ninjas, man.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- Ready to check this place out? - Yeah, looking forward to it.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Bring out your weapons, dude, let's do it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Cary and TJ arrived at the Sepulveda House,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59a private residence near Aileen's home,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01which doubles as a wedding venue.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Its style ranges from Asian decor
0:12:03 > 0:12:07to American traditional to creepy monkey statue.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12But Aileen has a different view of romance, one that is 180 degrees.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Wow!- That is so breathtaking.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Oh my God, I love it!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- How many people can fit here? - Up to 250.- No way! Really?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Aileen has been fantasizing about her wedding
0:12:23 > 0:12:25since childhood, so she brings
0:12:25 > 0:12:27three of her bridesmaids to show off La Venta Inn,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29her dream wedding venue.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I love gazebos.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34He proposed to me at a gazebo, like really close by,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36closer to the beach,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38and that has a lot of meaning for me.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39'So, it was very romantic.'
0:12:39 > 0:12:42And you guys will stand right here. Down to the side.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Yeah. Was that your dream wedding, to always be outdoors?- Uh-huh.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48You can see the city lights and everything.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51But, Aileen, the Sepulveda House has an elk head
0:12:51 > 0:12:56and a romantic dining area on the cement driveway next to the garage.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Not like La Venta.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00This is gorgeous!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Three rooms with an ocean view.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Here's to La Venta, guys.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08ALL: Cheers.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11This place wants you to say I do.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Obviously, a big deciding factor is your guest count.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- So, 135 is, like, the max. - Honestly, I would not push it.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Quantity.- 135, man.- I know.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23How far out can you set the last table?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I usually don't like to go farther than the sign.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- You don't want their food rolling downhill.- Right.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31You don't have a lot of space.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33You have the benches and then basically everyone is going
0:13:33 > 0:13:37to be standing here or trying to look in from the sides.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- But, then, it has such a good vibe. - It is.- It's so personal.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44What I love about this place is that it's in our neighbourhood,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47but it seems like you're in a different place, like down South.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49You blend right in with the landscape,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52the beauty of the greenery and, again,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I was just astounded by the environment here.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58But, Cary, it's not quite the stunning view that Aileen wants.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01This is my dream cos it's the garden.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03I know.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- And it's right by the beach. - And it's outdoor.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07'This is so beautiful that
0:14:07 > 0:14:10'I'd be so proud to show it off to my friends and family,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13'to be getting married at such a beautiful place.'
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Ultimately, it's like, why should that matter?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17But for me, it does matter.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- Given your wedding is literally in two weeks...- Right.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25..we are willing to give you an all-inclusive wedding for 12,000.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Just to let you know, it's not that we're trying to save money,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31it's that we're trying to come in under budget.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Yeah! So you'll have more money for the bachelor party!
0:14:34 > 0:14:37If we can make a decision right now,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39because time is of the essence for us.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I need to go home tonight and be able to go to sleep.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45So, what is the absolute lowest that you'll go
0:14:45 > 0:14:47so we can make a deal today?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50The absolute lowest is 11.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Let's do 10.5 and I'll shake your hand right now.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56In fact, we'll do a little group hug right now.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- 10.5.- OK.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- So, 10.5.- 10.5, we're good.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07I'm going to... Let's do it. Come on, right here.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10So Cary pays 10,500 for the Sepulveda House,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14for essentially a driveway wedding and an hors d'oeuvres reception.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- You drive a hard bargain.- Wow, man!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Hey, that is what's up. You know what? We both won.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22The wedding venue all tied up,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Cary shifts his focus to the wedding dress.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I wish to be, you know,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29the most beautiful bride ever.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Knowing that he's going to be picking out the dress,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34that definitely makes me nervous.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- We are here to look for a dress for my fiancee.- OK.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41You guys rent here, correct?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- I'm sorry, what was that? - We rent.- OK.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46You want to RENT Aileen's dress?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49If we can do something between 500 and 1,000,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- that would be great for us. - Absolutely.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Nothing over that in here. - Oh, man, we got this!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- I'm down.- That's more for the bachelor party.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Look, there is nothing wrong with renting a gown if it's the bride's
0:16:00 > 0:16:04choice, but not because it'll give you more money to spend in Vegas!
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Meanwhile, blissfully unaware of her groom's cut-rate rental plans,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Aileen takes her bridesmaids to look at designer wedding dresses
0:16:13 > 0:16:14and dream a little.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Do you have anything that's like a mermaid?- Yes, I do.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19That would be the shape.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22'My dream dress would be mermaid-cut,'
0:16:22 > 0:16:24maybe a little ruffle, not puffy,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26'that's just not me.'
0:16:26 > 0:16:27I would not be happy.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30We'll take these to the fitting room for you.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35This, right here, does me no good, you know? Because, I'm lost, honest.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- You got to see it on.- Might as well just try it on you then. Here.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Let's just see how it looks. - How's it look?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- It looks really good, man. - Yeah, I've been working out.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46You might have to get this little butterfly effect.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49It looks good, though.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Oh, don't you look beautiful.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Wow!
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Woo! It's pretty. - You look really pretty.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- How do you like it?- Um, I like it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I think, you know, all the dresses are actually really pretty.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10So, I think that's what scares me, that Cary has to choose something.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13You know? I'm like, I like all of 'em.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Option number one.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- That is the mermaid bottom? - This is a mermaid bottom, yes.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Well, you've got one thing going for you,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Aileen does want a mermaid dress.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I think it is a little too plain.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- A little more bling?- Yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Like, I know that moment's going to come, where I look at it,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- and I'm going to be, "That's it." And I just don't feel right now.- OK.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Wow, Cary,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40you're certainly particular about a dress your bride can't even keep.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Nope.- Not for you? OK. - No, I'm not sold. Nope.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- What's up with the fur? - It's not fur, it's actually tulle.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- Oh, my gosh! - Oh, I really like that one!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- We'll take it, let's go.- I know.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Wait, Aileen, that's not a mermaid and there's a lot of ruffles.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10That is the opposite of what you wanted.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- I love it, oh, my gosh. - It's really cute.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17And it's not a mermaid, so I'm scared now.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18I know!
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Oh, my gosh, this dress is so unexpectedly beautiful.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- I didn't think that this would be my style.- You look like a bride.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- I love it.- She loves it!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I think that's what scares me the most,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34cos I don't think he would ever pick something like this.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39If he did pick something like that, you couldn't keep it anyway!
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- I like that.- I like that, too. - On this,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- if you wanted flowers coming from here.- Uh-huh.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Kind of going down here.- OK. - We could even drop some down below.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Yeah.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I think we got something here, TJ.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Can you actually make a bigger dip in the chest area.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- Like that?- Yeah, something like that. So it creates more of a sweetheart.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Yup, exactly.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06And so, I don't want as much sparkly on the chest.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11And then as long as you could embed the floral pattern asymmetrically.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12We'd bead that.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I want that more of a trumpet finish than a mermaid.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- I think we have a winner.- Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18All of the sudden, Cary thinks he's Vera Wang.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I thought about it long and hard, do I spend more money
0:19:21 > 0:19:22'on a bachelor party or
0:19:22 > 0:19:26'do I pay more money buying a dress she's never going to wear again?'
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I think I made the right choice in the end.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Oh! Dude, that's it, man.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Oh, oh, oh!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'm just glad it's over, man, seriously.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35But it's not over yet,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37the pink bridesmaids' dresses catch Cary's eye.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Pink.- That's like magenta. - Yeah, magenta.- Fuchsia.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Oh, I like those. Oh! - This is nice.- I like that.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48That's what's up, see? Right there.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54Cos, knowing the girls, that would be the most in character.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55- OK.- You know what I mean? - That's good.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58And, afterwards, when they're getting their dance on,
0:19:58 > 0:19:59they'll be able to move around.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Exactly.- Look at you!- You're going to be tripping all over this one.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Exactly.- With this dress,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08all you're going to be doing is this, from here to here.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11From here to here. And we don't want that, dude.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Look how cute you guys look together. Are you sure there's a girl in here?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Now, with this one, now what are we going to see?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19What are we going to see with this one?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- We've got a little more variation. - There you go. Look at you.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Variation, there you go. Exactly. Exactly.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'll go with this one right here.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Good, we're done with that decision. - All right!
0:20:30 > 0:20:34A short five minutes later, Cary has decided on the bridesmaids' dresses.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So, with the bridesmaids, we went ahead and rented
0:20:37 > 0:20:38their dresses as well.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42I don't think the dress itself they'll be too attached to.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Oh, boy. Let's hope not. Since they won't ever see 'em again.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- Now we have to go back to the bride. This dress rents for 495.- OK.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Alterations are probably going to be anywhere from 75 to maybe 150.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- So we are talking about maybe 650 at the most.- At the most.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59At first, I was a little hesitant about renting a dress.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I had never heard of that before.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05But now that we've actually come here, looked at all the dresses,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07made our decision,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I think renting a dress was the best decision we made.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Especially looking ahead in your future,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- you know exactly what you're going to do.- Yeah!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17We are going to save over 2,000 just by renting this dress
0:21:17 > 0:21:20off of our budget, and we're going to be able to put that budget
0:21:20 > 0:21:22towards the bachelor party.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24When Aileen puts on that dress,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26'she's going to be floored by it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27'I think the rental part is no problem.'
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Oh, Cary, bless your little heart.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38It's less than two weeks until the wedding
0:21:38 > 0:21:41and Aileen wants to show her bridesmaids the cake
0:21:41 > 0:21:42she's been dreaming of.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Yummy!- The feast begins.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Or in her case, the cupcakes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- I like the red velvet.- Me, too!
0:21:50 > 0:21:51'I do not want'
0:21:51 > 0:21:52a huge wedding cake.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I think it's just ridiculous.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57'I would prefer cupcakes just cos'
0:21:57 > 0:21:58I think they're really cute.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00ALL: Cheers.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03While Aileen dreams of red velvet cupcakes,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Cary and TJ continue their quest to save money
0:22:05 > 0:22:07for the bachelor party by hitting up
0:22:07 > 0:22:10TJ's friend Chris, who works at a bakery.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- This is it.- This is your boy's place, right?- Yeah.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Chris, what up, man? Good to see you. What's up?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Remember me, dude? Cary, how you doing? Good to see you again. Sure.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Do you guys have anything in mind?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's not going to be a traditional wedding at all and TJ told me
0:22:23 > 0:22:26that you guys specialise in specialty cakes.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28So I definitely want to utilize that.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31And so, like, us being in front of a fantasy castle
0:22:31 > 0:22:32or something like that.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- I've built this in the past. - That's a cake?- That's a cake.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- That's pretty meticulous, man. - Absolutely.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- We can make it light up, you know, put music in it.- Are you serious?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Absolutely.- Hey, man, what did I tell you?- Damn!
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Oh my gosh, man.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49It's not cupcakes, but maybe Aileen will like it
0:22:49 > 0:22:51because it lights up and make sounds(!)
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Ideally, you would have yellow? - Yeah, I want yellow frosting.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57I think I would want a white cake, then.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- And then yellow frosting cupcakes. - That's cute.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I came into Magnolia thinking I wanted red velvet,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05but after seeing what they had on display,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07the red really throws it off.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Mmm!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- This is good right here, man. - Red velvet is no joke.- Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I think I have a winner here.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18'Aileen loves red velvet cupcakes.'
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Not anymore.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21So I know she is going to be happy
0:23:21 > 0:23:23with at least that portion of the cake.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26So, for something like that, with the fantasy castle
0:23:26 > 0:23:28and Aileen and I in front of that castle,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30what does that cost?
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Do you guys know the budget?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Right now, in my budget, I have 400.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Is that something to work with?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38We're going to make your 400 work and we're going to make this be...
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- You're going to accept that? - I'm going to accept that.- Seriously?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Come on, for Chris here? That's the hommie hook-up.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- We'll take care of it.- Thank you so much, I appreciate that.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51400 for a giant red velvet castle cake?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Well, at least it's not rented.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- You guys have a good one. - Thank you, Chris.- Have a great day.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Next stop on the lunchtime express is TJ's mom's jewellery store.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- Yep, so we're here today to get a good deal.- Yes.- All right.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08We need to get our bridesmaids jewellery.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- We we're just thinking about making that a gift to them.- Sure.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- We have these grey Chinese freshwater pearls.- Yep.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- And we could do earrings to match. - Oh, great.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Do you have something for her?
0:24:19 > 0:24:24- Um... Actually, no, we don't. - OK, it would fall like this.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I really like that, TJ.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- So, we're looking at about 390 altogether.- 390?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34What do we have in our budget for presents?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37200 for the bridesmaids' gifts.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41If you can help us and bring that cost back down?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Can you do that for your son?- Sure.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Just to make it a big, nice, happy day.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- Yeah.- There we go.- All right. - Thanks a lot, Mom, Auntie.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- Thanks for the hook up, that's amazing. That'll help a lot.- Yeah.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58We've been fortunate enough to be at the best end of each deal.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- So, we need flowers for the wedding. - Right.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Our owner came up with the best price of two thousand...
0:25:04 > 0:25:07HE LAUGHS ..ninety-five.
0:25:07 > 0:25:092,000?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I'm not laughing at you guys, I'm just thinking about our budget.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- I totally understand. - It's half of that.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Check out the venue first and I think you are going
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- to realise that this might be a little too much.- OK.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23After I'm able to go and look at the place, we'll finalise a price.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Hi. This is the place, dude.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- It's gorgeous.- I don't know what you had envisioned initially,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34but what you've seen so far, and I told you my budget,
0:25:34 > 0:25:38so what is the absolute lowest? Can we go, like, 1,400 right now?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- 1,400 is pushing it. - Come on, man!- I can't.
0:25:43 > 0:25:451,500, that's the best deal I can give.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- OK, 1500 then. You're cool with 1,500?- Yeah.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- 1,500.- Deal.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I feel like I'm a gangster handling some business.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55You've haggled your friends and relatives to go big
0:25:55 > 0:25:58on your bachelor party, what could go wrong with that?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06'So, I haven't had any days off during the process.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09'I work from nine to five. Then I start planning from five,'
0:26:09 > 0:26:12go to sleep at 2am every single day. So, it's been crazy.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15'Everything is just, like, intensifying now.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18'I thought Teej and I would just go through it with a breeze,'
0:26:18 > 0:26:22but it is absolutely more work than I thought.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Thanks for coming, by the way. - Yeah, for sure.- Dude, so...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Cary has asked TJ to stop by his office
0:26:27 > 0:26:29to show him what the groomsmen will be wearing.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- So I went with grey suits.- OK.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Oh, you got it? - I got it already, man.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Look at this, dude.- Grey and yellow, baby.- Check this out, all right?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- All right. - So, this is a pretty decent suit.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43It looks nice, it's grey, it's got that heather grey finish.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Yeah, slim fit. So where did you rent this from?- Rent?- Yeah.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48I'm buying, fool.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Buying not renting?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52This is going to be your guys' gift.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Oh, man!- Is that cool? - That's awesome!- Right on, dude.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58OK, Cary, just to be clear, you're renting the dresses
0:26:58 > 0:27:01for the girls and buying the suits for the boys?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04And they say chivalry is dead(!)
0:27:08 > 0:27:11With the wedding fast approaching, Cary and TJ
0:27:11 > 0:27:13try to charm Alice, a family friend
0:27:13 > 0:27:15who works at a jewellery shop,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17into cutting them a deal on the rings.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19So we are looking at 850.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- 850 out the door. - 850.- Can you do 800?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I definitely want to bring these costs down so that
0:27:25 > 0:27:27he and I can enjoy our bachelor party.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Gosh, you guys!- Keep in mind, we have a budget for everything else, too.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- All right.- 800? - You guys are like my brothers.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- 800 out the door.- Yes!
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- That's a sell! - All right. Thank you so much.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I guess everyone likes to donate to a good cause.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44And what better cause than Cary's bachelor party?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Teej and I have been wheeling and dealing
0:27:46 > 0:27:49just so we can have a little bit more room to play with when it comes
0:27:49 > 0:27:51to setting up our bachelor party.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- I feel like a million bucks. Appreciate it.- Happy planning, guys.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Thank you. Have a good one. - Bye.- Bye-bye.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59It is one week before the wedding
0:27:59 > 0:28:00and all of the penny-pinching
0:28:00 > 0:28:02has finally paid off.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Cary and his groomsmen arrive in Las Vegas
0:28:04 > 0:28:06for a two day bachelor party!
0:28:10 > 0:28:14So, after saving a lot of money on rings, flowers
0:28:14 > 0:28:16and venues and stuff like that, we were able
0:28:16 > 0:28:17to bump our original budget
0:28:17 > 0:28:19for our bachelor party.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21That's a huge improvement for us.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37The next day, it's the bachelorette party.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39While the guys are passed out,
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Cary sends the girls to one
0:28:40 > 0:28:42of Aileen's favourite restaurants.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- He's so thoughtful(!) - 'I think she's going to be'
0:28:45 > 0:28:48just wowed by everything that we hooked her up with
0:28:48 > 0:28:50'because when she sees the effort that I put into it,
0:28:50 > 0:28:51'I think she'll be happy'
0:28:51 > 0:28:53with what we presented to her, as well.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55This is cute.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57'I feel like I haven't talked to him forever.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59'I definitely miss him. It's kind of cheesy,
0:28:59 > 0:29:02'but I've been writing letters to him during this time'
0:29:02 > 0:29:03just so I can be like,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05"This is what I was going through."
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Since I didn't have anyone around to talk to.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10The surprise bachelorette party is an elegant,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13prim and proper seven-course Japanese meal.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14'I didn't think we'd be coming here.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16'It's my favourite Japanese restaurant.'
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I love this place. So, I'm really excited.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22'I'm glad the girls get to try it. It'll be all of their first time.'
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Dip the little seaweeds in here.- Yum!
0:29:26 > 0:29:28'He did such a great job, I am really happy.'
0:29:28 > 0:29:30This was awesome.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31ALL: Cheers!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Thank you, Cary, for dinner.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35An unforgettable meal for the girls
0:29:35 > 0:29:37after an evening none of the boys can remember.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- What did we do last night?- You don't remember? How much did you lose?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- Three.- You lost 300?- Yeah.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44What do you want to do tonight?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46We definitely have some wedding money left over.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49We have about 800 bucks left over to smash.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52You know, why don't we do this? We'll hit the craps table
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and we'll win enough to pay for you and Aileen's honeymoon.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Good luck, guys,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00but be sure and text responsibly or what happens in Vegas...
0:30:00 > 0:30:03won't stay in Vegas.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Guess what I just heard. I just heard Cary went to Vegas
0:30:06 > 0:30:09and got a penthouse suite for two nights.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11He got a penthouse suite at the Palms.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Are you serious?
0:30:15 > 0:30:20Compared to Vegas, and us doing this, it's just a little different.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25Yeah, it is upsetting that they would go to Vegas for two nights
0:30:25 > 0:30:28and do this one day thing for me.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30And the whole betting money, it's kind of like...
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- If you want to gamble, use your own money.- Oh, my gosh,
0:30:33 > 0:30:35your letter tonight, "Cary, I hate you.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- "I can't believe you did this." - I'm not writing letters anymore.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Oh! The cut off!
0:30:43 > 0:30:45It is disappointing because
0:30:45 > 0:30:46'he's not a gambler.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51'I wonder how he spent money on dresses, flowers, cakes...'
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Sorry.- No, it's OK.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55He'll hear it from me.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Still angry from the weekend in Vegas scandal,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Aileen finally gets to see her rented wedding dress.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- Hi.- Hi.- Is this our mystery bride? - Yes, I am Aileen.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- I'm here to try on my dress. - Nice to meet you.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14The dress is the most important thing.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17'If it is sequins and rhinestones'
0:31:17 > 0:31:21and not the cut that I want, I'm just going to lose it
0:31:21 > 0:31:23'and cry my eyes out right there.'
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- OK, are you guys ready? - Yes.- Come on out.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32- Oh wow!- Doesn't she look gorgeous? - You look beautiful!
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- Really?- I love it.- Yeah!- Do you love it?- I love it. I really do.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Wow!- Do you love it?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41It's really pretty.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Oh, my God, Aileen, you look so gorgeous.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48He was so specific about making it a sweetheart here,
0:31:48 > 0:31:52getting the coloured beads to match, taking off things, adding things.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55He really planned the whole thing to a tee.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Oh, Aileen!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- It's so beautiful!- I love it.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- You love it? You look pretty. - Yeah, you do.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11He knew exactly what he wanted for you.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I was really nervous to try this on and, um,
0:32:14 > 0:32:18you know, just hearing her tell me everything Cary'd picked out,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21the little details that he knew I would love.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Especially after the whole Vegas thing I found out...
0:32:24 > 0:32:28I felt like crap afterwards when I heard that.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31So I was kind of not looking forward to trying on the dress.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36But, um, you know, I tried it on and it looks beautiful.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Yay! She loves the dress.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Oh, but what about the fact that it's rented?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44It sucks that I don't get to keep it in the end,
0:32:44 > 0:32:48but all I care is that I get to wear it on my wedding day.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56TRUMPET
0:32:59 > 0:33:02What the heck?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07I didn't know you could play the trumpet.
0:33:09 > 0:33:15# I am here to give you your invitation to the wedding
0:33:15 > 0:33:22# To celebrate the union between Cary and Aileen
0:33:23 > 0:33:26# It will be on Saturday
0:33:26 > 0:33:32# From 5pm till 10
0:33:32 > 0:33:37# I present you with this gift To wear on your wedding day
0:33:37 > 0:33:39# I promised to make this swift
0:33:39 > 0:33:42# Cary misses you and says hey! #
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Bye.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Oh, my God, why is it red?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52I saw those shoes, and they're red.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56And it's kind of freaking me out now because it's not me.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It is a colour that I would have never picked.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01The dress went super well, I was really happy,
0:34:01 > 0:34:06and then there are the shoes that I would never have expected.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11And it just reveals that, again, I have no control.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15It's just one day before the wedding
0:34:15 > 0:34:17and Cary is searching for a thoughtful gift
0:34:17 > 0:34:18that will show Aileen's parents
0:34:18 > 0:34:21that he respects their Korean culture and tradition.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I think it's only natural or normal for us
0:34:24 > 0:34:26'to hold strongly the values of our culture.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29'So I think her parents will want to see Korean
0:34:29 > 0:34:31'traditions in the ceremony.'
0:34:31 > 0:34:32According to Korean tradition,
0:34:32 > 0:34:35the groom presents his future mother-in-law
0:34:35 > 0:34:38with a goose as a symbol of his faithfulness to her daughter.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41So Cary and TJ head to a duck sanctuary, hoping to find one.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43There is just one problem.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46To be honest with you, man, I don't even like big birds, dude.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I get scared of them, man.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51You're doing this for Aileen and her family, right?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- Hi, how are you? Are you Carol? - Who's the groom? I'm Carol.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59'The traditional Korean wedding involves'
0:34:59 > 0:35:01birds that mate for life,
0:35:01 > 0:35:02'the geese and the duck.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04'The husband presents it to the mother-in-law'
0:35:04 > 0:35:05as a symbol of fidelity.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- We have Bianca here. I'll let her out.- OK.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- You're going to let her out? - You want a goose, right?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Is that going to eat my eye out? Whoa! Whoa!
0:35:13 > 0:35:19OK, Cary, it's time to put your big boy pants on and get that goose.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21You chase him first.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Go, go!- I can't commit. I can't commit to it.- Just do it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Close your eyes and go.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29Go, go, go!
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Oh!
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- You're crazy. - What do you think of this guy?- Woo!
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- She's going to pass it to you. - Wait, wait, wait!
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- No, no, no! Hold on! - Come on, come on, come on.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- Oh, dude!- Come on! - Look at the teeth!
0:35:44 > 0:35:47They're not teeth, they are just little serrated edges.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48They're filters.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I've got a fear of big birds, man. I can't.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Look how sweet she is.- Yeah, yeah.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Come on, Car. Do it.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- I have a fear of big birds, man. - OK, OK.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59Get over this fear.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Oh, nasty!
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- You have to support him like a baby. - Oh, crap! Oh, that's good.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Hey, let's go home, I'm not going to...
0:36:09 > 0:36:11You're going to take it with you?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13No, I'm not going to take this home with me.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15All right, how do you get rid of this?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Oh! Oh! Oh!
0:36:18 > 0:36:20THE GOOSE SQUAWKS
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Oh, crap! Oh!
0:36:25 > 0:36:28This is the dumbest idea ever, dude.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I'm not going to put that in my car and drive it home.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33What are you going to do? Hold it and give it to Aileen's mom?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36I'm wearing a suit. I'm not going to hold that over my suit.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39What are you going to do with it? There is no way!
0:36:39 > 0:36:43- Man, that thing is huge. It was strong.- It was loud.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45It's pooping everywhere.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Thank you so much, Carol. That was awesome, it was a good experience.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52I think I kind of got over my fear a little bit, but...
0:36:52 > 0:36:54When it comes to the actual tradition,
0:36:54 > 0:36:56I want to pull through and honour her parents
0:36:56 > 0:36:59with some tradition, so I definitely have to come up with another plan.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01We're running out of time so we got to think quick.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04If you want to impress your Korean in-laws, Cary,
0:37:04 > 0:37:08the wedding starts in less than 24 hours. No pressure!
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- What else can we do then? - Why don't we do it so like...
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- We like to share our culture with you guys.- Yeah.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- And do the 1,000 cranes, dude.- Oh!
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- Right?- That's an awesome idea.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24It's going to bring good luck to you guys, too.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- That's what they say, right? - Right.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28We'll buy gold origami paper
0:37:28 > 0:37:32and it's a lot easier than carrying around a freaking duck everywhere.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Exactly, dude.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37You have to hand make 1,000 cranes then.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- My friends that have done this before.- Yeah?
0:37:40 > 0:37:42It's taken them three to six months.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- What?!- Yeah.- We only have a day.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48While Cary tries to figure out how to hand make
0:37:48 > 0:37:501,000 cranes in a day,
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Aileen is still upset over her red wedding shoes.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- They're cute, but why is it red? - I don't know, Julie.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- It's just kind of weird. - Like red...
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Red's not a colour I would ever choose for my wedding.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07I wish that he thought of me more.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10And he thought of what I wanted more.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12'I have no idea what I'll be walking into tomorrow'
0:38:12 > 0:38:16and it makes me nervous because it could go bad.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19'The bachelorette party and the shoes were bad.'
0:38:20 > 0:38:22They're having, like, bad surprises.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Naturally, I am expecting there to be more bad surprises.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31With less than 24 hours until the wedding, Cary puts his family
0:38:31 > 0:38:33and friends to work folding 1,000 paper cranes.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37So he can share a Japanese tradition with his future Korean in-laws.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40'So TJ and I, we blasted our families
0:38:40 > 0:38:41'with e-mails saying come to'
0:38:41 > 0:38:44our crane-making party. There were about 20 of us
0:38:44 > 0:38:46'and we'll crank out these cranes in one night,
0:38:46 > 0:38:47'hopefully.'
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Oh, that one is horrible.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55I haven't really even had time to think about the wedding tomorrow.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58'Literally, the wedding is less than 24 hours away,
0:38:58 > 0:38:59'so I'm super nervous.'
0:38:59 > 0:39:01I have a lot of emotions, a lot of worries,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03but at the same time excited, too.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08At the end of the day, Aileen gets a message from TJ
0:39:08 > 0:39:10about where to get ready for the wedding tomorrow.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Not too long ago I got a e-mail saying
0:39:14 > 0:39:20I need to be at the Doubletree Hotel in San Pedro.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22I'll be married tomorrow.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Woo!
0:39:31 > 0:39:35The day of the wedding finally arrives and everyone is busy.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Cary is decorating the venue, the musicians are rehearsing
0:39:39 > 0:39:40and the bride is...
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Alone by herself in a hotel lobby?
0:39:45 > 0:39:50TJ did his job and got Aileen to the hotel, but Cary forgot to do his
0:39:50 > 0:39:53part and inform the bridesmaids and hair and makeup to meet her there.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55'I don't know what my friends are doing.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58'I don't know if they're supposed to be here or not.'
0:39:58 > 0:40:01I don't know what's going on and everything is just really
0:40:01 > 0:40:03unorganized.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08I'm sure Cary will remember to call the girls before it's too late.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Right?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Have fun. Have fun. Have fun.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27'It is 12:30'
0:40:27 > 0:40:29and my bridesmaids still aren't here.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32I'm still waiting for them and the wedding is at five.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34I'm getting a little anxious, I'm getting nervous.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40It's Aileen's wedding day, but Cary has forgotten to tell
0:40:40 > 0:40:43the makeup artist and the bridesmaids where to go
0:40:43 > 0:40:46and so she has been waiting in the hotel lobby alone
0:40:46 > 0:40:47for over an hour.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50I don't know what's going on. I was told to just get here at 11:30.
0:40:50 > 0:40:55I'm trying to be positive now cos it's the day of the wedding
0:40:55 > 0:40:57and I don't want anything to bring me down.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Finally, Sandy, the maid of honour,
0:41:00 > 0:41:04calls Cary herself to get directions and tells Aileen she is on her way.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Really?
0:41:11 > 0:41:12OK.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17I don't know how much time it's going to take for everyone to get ready.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21'Hopefully, everyone is going to get here and we will be ready on time.'
0:41:25 > 0:41:27After an hour and a half of waiting,
0:41:27 > 0:41:28hair and makeup arrives.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31And she is a welcome sight for the lonely bride.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32'I hope this'
0:41:32 > 0:41:35unorganized morning will not seep into my wedding
0:41:35 > 0:41:38'ceremony, but it's the day of'
0:41:38 > 0:41:40and it is already kind of messed up.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Maybe a little makeup
0:41:42 > 0:41:44and her bridesmaids will help cheer Aileen up.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Hi!
0:41:45 > 0:41:47But the bridesmaids aren't happy
0:41:47 > 0:41:49with how things have been organised either.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Yeah, it was like 12:00 and I still didn't know where I was going.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56I guess Cary was supposed to tell us and he didn't tell us.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- Oh, my gosh.- So we're, "What time are we supposed to meet?"
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Dude, if Cary had just told us earlier,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04then we wouldn't be in a rush, no?
0:42:04 > 0:42:05Yeah.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07'My hair and makeup is done.'
0:42:07 > 0:42:12I'm ready to get into my dress and I'm so ready to see my bridesmaids.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- Are you ready, Aileen? - Yes. Hurry up and come out.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Oh, it's yellow!
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Oh, you guys look so cute.- Yeah?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- You like it?- Yes.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Oh, my gosh, it's yellow and grey!
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- I know.- Oh, you guys look so pretty.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Not bad for a 45 rental.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Oh, that's right, the men get to keep their 200 suits.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37Group hug!
0:42:37 > 0:42:40With the bridesmaids ready to go, all that's left
0:42:40 > 0:42:43is for Aileen to get into her dress.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Is it good?- Uh-huh.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Cute!- They're very cute.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Oh!- You got it?- Yes.
