Jackie, 27, stunned viewers when she publicly cheated on Marshall instead of trying on wedding dresses. While Marshall, 27, went tuxedo shopping with his family and co stars, Jackie accepted a date, then kissed Josh, the person she stopped dating for Marshall. Jackie and Marshall had multiple disagreements when he told him to “boss up,” when they were intimate. When he confronted her, she broke off the engagement and told him she’s keeping the ring. Jackie then went on a rant where she revealed she’s “crazy,” and she needs to work on herself.

Toxic relationships are dated. In order to find true love, truly love yourself. Jackie could not comprehend Marshall’s emotionally mature personality because it was a lost treasure to her. Even though there are speculations Josh and Jackie are still dating, hopefully Jackie took time to process her issues and heal.

Jackie: Damn I’m crazy! I need to do some self-work.

Even though Kwame’s very fashionable sister, Barbara and brother, Jerry, supported their brother on his wedding day, he still wanted his mother to join in on the celebration. So it was a shocker when he said “I Do,” to Chelsea.

Throughout the season Kwame definitely expressed cold feet. Whether it was his resistance to to move a few hours from Portland to Seattle or his shocking flirtatious interactions with cast-mate Micah. Even though Chelsea scolded him at times for his uncertainty, his internal battle over whether or not to marry without his mother present was one only he could fight. Kwame’s sister expressed that their mother’s religious views didn’t support his decision to get married on the show. In the end, Kwame chose love over his mother’s approval. The now married couple, shared a kiss after their nuptials.
