Married or single, we've all heard it. "You could buy a house for the price of that wedding!" But have you ever stopped to think, what if you actually did?

01x05 - Before Deployment

Post by bunniefuu »

We do need to get a house.

I'm in the United States Army.

I'll be deployed in a year and a half,

and, um, I wanna make sure

that she's grounded and taken care of.

A wedding is very important to me.

It's, like, the one time

where you can be super extra,

and everyone celebrates your extra-ness.

Yeah, so, currently

we're pretty stuck in the decision.

It's like a wedding, house.

Wedding, house.

-Brittany's like, "Let's do it, go big."

-Wedding, house. Both. Let's do both.

Yeah, that's unfortunate

we can't do that, so…

I mean, we could. We could do both.

No, we can't.

All my ladies around the globe ♪

Live it up, live it up ♪

- What are you doing?

- Grabbing some water.

You look pretty in your flowing cape.

Very Stevie Nicks.

What are you doing?

I have the information

on our next couple, Brittany and Scott.

Brittany and Scott are a fun-loving couple

who met through mutual friends

but fell in love on the dance floor.

We met at a party.

I was getting my moves on, dancing,

things are going well, then,

the lights flashed on…

and she just walked away.

-I thought we were vibing.

-Apparently I was unaware of the vibe.

He had to text my friend's

friend's friend to get my number,

but you know what?

It worked out.

-Brittany is a self-proclaimed princess.

-Cute.

Scott is her Army prince who wants

to give her everything she wants,

within budgetary reasons.

I like nice things.

You gotta work for them,

-but you can get 'em if you work hard.

-It's true.

I love that he keeps me in check.

I mean, he's not cheap.

-He's in the Army.

-He's used to having just dirt and a mat.

I love you.

-I love you.

-Yeah.

-We've been together for four years.

-Go back to sleep.

When he was deployed,

it was rough.

They literally go

to a different country to risk their life.

And then when he got back, it was like,

"Wow. He's my best friend."

I wanted to be with her

for the rest of my life.

Right now they live

in a tiny apartment near his base.

-We live in Clarksville, Tennessee.

-We live in a one-bedroom,

one-bathroom triplex.

The dungeon.

-It's not.

-There's only one window.

Not a dungeon. It's beautiful.

Wanna see my closet?

Wait, it's just a drawer.

You have a rolling suitcase

I got you so you can put stuff in--

Best Christmas present you ever got me.

Pretty good, actually.

I deserve a closet.

I've been deployed four times now,

and I should be deployed

in a year and a half.

So, it's important we get a house to know

that she's safe, she's near family.

I want a home so that I can have children.

We've saved enough

to afford a $475,000 house.

Though they want a forever home,

Brittany wants

a big wedding with tons of bling.

Scott wants a big party

on a huge dance floor.

I can deliver.

I want a wedding

because I will be leaving soon,

and I want her to,

number one, get all the benefits,

health care, dental care.

That's kind of important.

I really want to make sure

she's taken care of.

-Getting pumped?

-Nervous energy, I don't know what to do.

It is a difficult decision for us

'cause wedding,

we get to shout out to the world.

With a house, we have something

we can build on for the future.

-Hi!

- Hey!

-Hey! I'm Nichole.

-Nice to meet you.

It's a big purchase, a big deal.

- How are you?

- Excited. Nervous.

- Yeah.

- Don't be nervous.

-It's fun.

So, you decided

it was time to propose when?

A few months ago.

-Just recent?

- Yeah.

I'm really close with her family,

so I wanted her mom

and her dad to be there for it.

Family is super important to you.

Yes. It's very important.

With deployment, you'll be gone

for a year and a half, or--

Leave in a year and a half.

Goal's to get everything settled now.

-Yes.

-That is kind of, like, the dilemma.

As far as the house side,

Team Mortgage over here,

what's your budget?

$475,000.

With a VA loan,

-so that's 6% down.

-Yes.

Fantastic. Four beds, three baths.

-Yes.

-Preferred neighborhood,

Belle Meade, Franklin, Spring Hill,

close to your parents.

-Yes.

- Okay.

I wanna hear about your wish list

for the house.

Like, what is your dream?

-I really want a grand entrance.

-Uh-huh.

-Grand staircase.

-Grand staircase.

-It's…

-Yeah. High ceilings.

-Need lots of sunlight.

-Sure.

Right now we're living

in this tiny one-bedroom apartment,

and I just really need more space.

That is one of the reasons why, you know,

we're looking for the forever home.

- Yes.

-Roger that.

What else is important in a home?

I want every bedroom

to have a decent-sized closet.

Fair. To the guests.

Right now, I have to drive

all the way to Nashville, 45 minutes,

to get clothes from my parents'.

To Nashville?

-Yeah.

-From outside of Clarksville.

-Yeah.

- She has endured.

She deserves the best, honestly.

Scottie,

what do you want in a house?

I want some garage space.

I have a classic car

-I want to start working on…

-Oh.

Fun.

…'69 Fastback Mustang,

so we're looking at houses.

In there, I can restore it.

So, yeah.

I think we can get something close.

How flexible are you going to be

on giving up a few things?

-Depends on which things.

- Okay.

I want to be close

to my parents.

My granddaddy used to say,

"The love of family

is life's greatest blessing,"

so we just really

want to stay true to that.

The way she said "granddaddy,"

that's so sweet.

Yeah, I love him.

I miss him. He just passed.

Oh, honey. I'm sorry.

So sorry.

He actually passed

a month before we got engaged.

-My goodness.

- Yeah.

And then, you know, Scottie deploys,

and I don't want to be alone.

Yeah, that's important for me,

that she has a very stable place to stay,

-near family.

-Sure.

'Cause obviously

she'll need a support structure.

Grandpa wanted you to have a house?

Granddaddy would have wanted me

to have a house.

I know a house is important,

but having a big wedding

with family is also important.

What's your budget if you go wedding?

- $33,000.

-Okay.

-We could go a bit higher if necessary.

-Higher?

A little bit.

About 100 people.

Yeah. That's about right.

-Where do you wanna get married?

-Like, a hotel ballroom.

Venue is the least important thing.

I want to make sure

everyone can just break it down.

Theme?

- Romantic glam.

- Yes.

Everyone dressed to the nines.

You want to feel like

Cinderella at your wedding.

Yes.

Have anything in mind

that might be important?

If you could make it happen,

I think it'd be super cool

to exit in a carriage.

-Then I'd really be like Cinderella.

-Of course.

Might be cool

to incorporate your classic car love.

Ooh. That would be cool.

What else should I know?

I really want to change into something.

Maybe a jumpsuit in there.

-We're gonna talk.

So, you said that your granddaddy

loved for you both to have a house.

Would he love for you

to have a wedding, too?

I get really sad

when I think about it because

I would have loved to have

a granddaughter-granddaddy dance.

We can incorporate him somehow.

-That'd be great.

- Awesome.

Wedding's really important 'cause

it's also a merging of families,

that's how I see it.

-That's sweet.

- Awesome.

Family is so important to Brittany,

and I know that Scott wants her

in a home before he gets deployed.

I'm gonna do everything I can to find

something close to her family,

'cause those deployments cannot be easy.

They need a wedding before Scott deploys.

Not just to celebrate with loved ones,

but to have a foundation and support

of their marriage while they're apart.

Make my bougie dreams come true.

-We definitely can.

-Great.

-Yours as well, Scott. I promise you.

-Yes.

I feel good from my head to my toes ♪

-Exciting day planned.

-I know.

I told Scott

I lived in the same house my entire life.

So, when you say your house purchase

will be your forever home,

-it's 'cause that's your experience.

-That's what I saw my parents do,

and they were down the street

from Grandma and Granddad.

I know Scott wants

Brittany situated before he leaves,

so she's taken care of

and he worries less while he's gone.

Today, I'm gonna show them

some really amazing houses

and find them their forever home.

This is the home here on the left.

-Yeah. Wow.

- Ooh.

-Come on in.

- Oh, wow.

Right?

-This house is about 3,400 square feet.

- Okay.

Four bedrooms and three baths.

It is well under budget at $409,000.

Oh…

The grand staircase.

Here's the staircase. Okay.

Could be better.

She doesn't like it.

I like it, but, you know, I just want

people to walk in and just be like, boom!

Welcome to the crib, you know?

- Oh, my God.

-This one,

-it's kind of hidden.

-Okay.

We need some marble in there,

we need the grand staircase.

-We need gold finishes.

-Wanna get a moat, too?

-Drawbridge to go up and down?

-Too much. You're being extra.

- I'm being… That's me.

-Yeah.

Lots to see in this house,

so much attention to detail,

and beautiful aspects, so…

I really don't like all of the black

in the kitchen, in the cabinets.

-It's a little rustic-looking.

-Got it.

-Yeah.

-Brittany's more modern, more bright.

We're not gonna want

to have to redo all of those cabinets.

I'd say my standards of what I want for

a house can be considered a little extra,

but it's a forever home. I mean,

if we're spending money on something,

and I'm spending my money,

I'll get what I want.

-Your master en suite.

-Oh, my God.

-Oh!

-Fit for a princess.

Nice.

-I like the shaping of this room.

-Yes, this is nice.

And you got a nice view of the backyard.

Oh! I like these finishes.

Let's see the closet.

That's right.

Nice-sized closet.

Does it meet

the Brittany standard?

I don't know.

Don't get mad at me,

but there's only one.

You guys can't share a closet?

No.

-Does he have cooties?

Why does he need

a separate closet altogether?

Because he gave me a drawer

for a year and a half.

-Banishing me?

-You're being punished.

-I'm being punished?

-Karma.

That's difficult in this price range.

Okay. Fair.

-We can figure it out.

Brittany has high standards when it comes

to picking a house. I totally get it.

This isn't just

a financial investment for her,

this is her forever home,

and she is set on that.

We're gonna dance

Until the morning light ♪

By the end of the day today,

you're gonna want

a lot of these fun things I'll show you.

She'll want it all.

-I won't just show things for her.

I'm showing you both things.

They have $33,000 to spend

on a black-tie, fairy-tale wedding.

I spent some time with them to nail down

decisions on big-ticket items

like the venue, decor, etcetera.

This will eat up $24,000 of their budget,

which leaves me about $8,800 to work with.

But in order to get them

to choose marriage over mortgage,

I need to focus on those

fairy-tale touches to put it over the top

and convince them

that a wedding is the right choice.

This one has to do with you both.

Okay.

And possibly the way that you met.

-We going to the club!

-We're going to the club?

-Excited?

-I am.

Oh!

Hey!

-Hi!

- Hi!

Dancing is important to you both,

and your first dance is pretty important.

-Of course. You kidding?

-Okay.

Travona is a professional choreographer,

and she's a pro cheerleader as well.

-Nice!

-Oh, okay!

-Awesome.

-What does this dance mean to you?

It's pretty much the expression

of our relationship as a whole,

you know, basically how we started,

and obviously this is gonna be

a focal point for the rest of our life.

Lots of couples choose choreographed

dances to kick off their reception.

It's a fun, inviting way

to have something unique.

-I can see it setting the mood.

-It does.

Have you thought about

what you want as a first dance?

I think we want to start

with more traditional,

-classic.

-Okay.

-So, slow.

-Okay.

But then kinda get into

a little bit more upbeat, you know--

-Hip-hoppish? Wanna bust a move on 'em.

-Yeah.

Scott wants to twerk.

Okay. Twerk?

-No. Not the twerk.

-No?

-You guys wanna start with a waltz?

-Absolutely.

Okay. You are going

to step front with that left.

She is going

to step back with her right.

-So, it's one, two, three.

-No, other foot.

-There you go.

-Switch. One, two, three.

And one, two, three.

Faster. One, two, three, go.

One, two, three.

- One, two, three.

-Nice.

We're gonna transition

into your hip-hop dance.

- Okay.

-You just finished, she looks at you,

and then she'll walk off.

- Oh!

-Oh! So, this is exactly how

our first time ended up.

It's basically the same!

-Try it with music.

She walks off, she walks away.

-There we go.

-There you go. Oh, there we go!

Oh, sh**t!

Hi!

Uh-oh, getting real. Hey!

Hey. Okay.

-Scott just got happy.

Seven, eight. And--

Here we go.

Five, six, seven, eight.

And one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

-One, two, three, up four.

- Whoa!

-Bend that back. Come on. There you go!

-Whoa!

- That's your finale.

-I like it.

Got it.

-I'm the better dancer.

-Absolutely not.

-Absolutely not.

- I'm the better dancer.

-No. Don't even question it.

-Okay…

So, could you imagine,

if you chose wedding,

this could be something so amazing

all your guests would love.

-Absolutely.

-Yeah.

On to budget.

For me to create choreography

specific to you all,

it'll cost $1,000

to choreograph the two dances.

And I think you guys

may need about…

15 lessons.

Okay.

I charge $150 per session.

-That's your fault.

For timing,

-so you guys feel natural.

-Right.

That's probably best.

So, 15 dance lessons

at $150 is about $2,250.

We'll need to think about it.

What if you chose one dance?

How much is one dance?

At one dance, we're looking at $400.

Okay. And still how many lessons?

-You're looking at about ten.

-Okay.

-This is your time to shine.

-I want everything to look great. So…

Would you choose hip-hop or waltz?

-Hip-hop.

-Hip-hop, yeah.

-You're amazing.

-Thank you, it was good seeing you.

-I'll be back for my lesson.

- Perfect.

The home that we're gonna look at

is a former model home.

Okay.

It has a lot of upgrades.

-Ooh.

-Okay.

This next home is near

the top of their budget at 475.

However, this neighborhood's

real estate value keeps climbing,

so I think it'll be a win-win for them.

All right,

here's a grand staircase moment.

-All right. This is different.

-Um…

Wow.

Yeah?

That a good wow or a bad wow?

I'm taking it in.

It's priced at $472,500.

It is a four bed, three bath,

about 3,300 square feet.

Like, these roll?

-Yes.

-Oh, wow. It moves.

They're called barn doors.

- Okay. Oh, okay.

-Okay.

We're in a barn.

A definite rustic feel, I'll give it that.

-I can tell you're not a fan.

Okay.

This is like

a keeping room area with a fireplace.

I do like a fireplace.

But, you know…

The wood.

-Right.

-The wood and the marble,

that's an interesting combination to me,

personally.

We don't want wooden walls…

-Got it.

-…or barn doors inside the house.

-Or outside the house.

-Outside?

-You know.

-Yes.

You never know

when you show your clients houses

what they're going

to react to positively or negatively.

Turns out

they don't like barn doors.

Okay.

Yeah. Or anything rustic.

-So, Nashville does them right, then.

Know what? You don't have to worry

about them having a farm wedding.

Wow.

-Nice. Yes. This is nice.

-Okay, see, I really like this island.

- Wait! I got a point!

-Yes. Yeah.

A major point there.

-I could see all the spreads I could make.

-Look what I-- Okay.

-Great for entertaining.

-It's perfect.

Okay.

It's a good spaced area.

- It looks kinda small.

-It does seems smaller

-than the previous one.

-The other one.

It is.

Maybe the ceiling is lower.

That makes a smaller space seem smaller.

Okay. Could work with it.

-Double doors. Coming in.

-Beautiful moment, right?

-Wow!

-Okay.

- Never seen a shower like this.

-It's big.

-The marble on the inside.

Wow.

-You've got awesome space through here.

-Oh, wow.

If you didn't want

your bags to get dusty…

-Yeah. Good point. I love that.

-…put 'em here and shut it.

Yes! I like this.

-Even I like the floors in here.

-I know.

-See yourself here with all your tools?

-Absolutely.

-Plenty of space.

-Yeah.

Workspace. And we were talking

about a space for all your stuff.

We were.

Big enough for you?

-This is-- Yes.

-Oh, dang.

Now we're talkin'.

All right, guys, well,

how are we feeling about this space?

It's a beautiful home,

it's just not our style.

-It's not our home.

-Yeah.

I'll take that.

I mean, I am really trying hard

with these houses

because Scott's deploying.

It's important…

I have a passion

to find the right house…

-Right.

-…given their situation.

I am striking out, big time.

I can see it. I think Scott

and Brittany are probably gonna be

one of your toughest clients ever.

-I will not disagree with that comment.

I think the next location

is gonna be perfect for you guys.

-As long as we don't have these.

I promise, cross my heart, no barn doors.

Gonna make it count today ♪

I'm a new woman today ♪

-Come on in!

- Oh!

-Hi, I'm Jen.

-Brittany, nice to meet you.

-Scott. It's a pleasure.

-Hi.

-Hey, girl.

-Hi. How are you?

-This is my happy place.

-I know.

-My happy place now.

-What are we doing?

I know what I want for my ceremony dress,

but for my second outfit,

I really want

Scott's opinion to be involved.

Gotcha.

-Wanna get started and have some fun?

-Yeah, let's do it.

Brittany wants two outfits for her

wedding,and she has already looked

at ceremony dresses

that range around $6,000.

So, I thought I would have her

try on outfits for the reception

with Scott.

This dress has a secret,

so we should take her.

Dresses always

bring the day to life,

so if Scott can see her

in this second outfit,

I really think that I can

sway them over to the wedding side.

-I'm so excited.

-I know, she'll look so good.

I cannot wait to see.

Holy cow.

Whoo!

-I mean, I love this.

-There's your bling.

-Oh, wait, turn.

- Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is--

You haven't seen the best part.

-Ready?

-There's a better part?

Oh, here we go.

Two dresses in one.

-My gosh, so pretty.

-Ooh!

-I love it.

- Me, too.

I like the shoulders,

how it's, like, kind of, like, slightly,

like, resting on her… Yeah.

I feel hot.

That's nice and light…

- I'm obsessed with that.

-Right?

That's beautiful, but next option.

- Next?

-Yes.

I don't want to take this one off.

We gotta figure out if this could be

-part of the budget.

- Yes.

Because a wedding is super important

-for you, right?

-Yes.

So, it's important for you to see these

dresses, I think it's good for your input,

but seeing her at the ceremony for

the first time is really important, too.

Yes. Like,

-we don't want to do a first look.

-Right.

I want, like, the first time she sees me,

-the first time I see her, it's like--

-Yeah.

You know,

that's something that we both want,

and something that, obviously,

our families are looking forward to.

-It's a big moment.

-Right.

- I mean…

-Oh!

This.

Oh, my gosh.

-This is the jumpsuit of my dreams.

- I'm dying.

- Yeah, that's the jumpsuit.

- Can I tell you a secret?

-Yes.

In our consultation, you mentioned

you really wanted a jumpsuit.

We had this custom designed for you.

-Just for you.

- It's perfect.

How long did it take you

to sew that lovely jumpsuit?

-I did not sew that.

If I did, it would fall right off.

But every fairy godmother

has little seamstresses

-and the best vendors.

-Mm-hmm.

All the tiny mice

behind the scenes doing all the sewing.

- Right.

-Yeah. I see it now. Yeah.

It's exactly what I wanted.

-Really? Good!

-You're tearing up.

I am. I am, like, tearing up.

-This is a home run, grand slam.

- Thanks.

Yeah. Wow.

When you came out, I really was stunned.

Like, I want to choose wedding

just to see Brittany in that jumpsuit.

So, what does this jumpsuit cost?

Well, the price I would give you

for the jumpsuit…

Okay. Love you.

…is $800.

Okay.

I was expecting much more,

so that's good.

-I like the price.

-Score!

- Yes!

-This is why you gotta stick with me.

I'm… We're here.

-Team Wedding.

-Team W.

I love that. It's sad,

but you have to take it off.

I don't want to.

We passed my parents' house.

Because we are going just

a few minutes from your parents' house.

- That's-- Okay.

-Ideal.

I'm a little hard-pressed

to meet all the demands on this one.

Four hundred seventy-five thousand,

everything they want, in Nashville?

It's not the easiest thing

I've been up against.

-I mean, ya think?

- Yeah.

Think you got a tough one?

I'm gonna have to think

outside the box on this one.

Well, here we go.

Okay.

I don't see a house.

- Not yet.

But there is a method to my madness.

Wow.

The lot is $160,000.

- My gosh.

- About 10,000 square feet,

and it's a few minutes away

from your parents.

And you've got the rest of your budget

to build your forever home.

-Okay?

- Okay.

I don't normally do this,

but I had an architect draw up a schematic

of what I think you guys would like.

-Oh, wow. Wow.

-Oh, wow.

-That is beautiful.

-Okay?

This is the footprint of the first floor.

Here is your grand entrance.

-Side garage.

-The staircase.

-I see it.

-A staircase right when you get in.

That's right. And then you could have

your four bedrooms.

I see two closets right there.

-I know, right? You're welcome.

-Oh, my gosh.

So, because you guys had

so many specific details,

I kind of had this as a backup plan

because I didn't feel like I could produce

the house that hit every single box.

Close to your parents' house,

in the area you want,

with the amenities in a home

that you want, in your price range.

So, the land costs about $160,000,

and then their construction cost

for the house is about 300.

So that brings the total to about 460,000,

which is in the ballpark of their budget,

and it gives Brittany

exactly what she wants.

The issue is

is that I'm going to be deploying soon.

-Right.

-So, like, timeline is kind of an issue.

- How long would it take?

-Probably,

I would say,

five to six months, conservatively.

So, it could take longer.

But keep in mind, her parents are

literally 90 seconds away.

That's true.

And I just think

you won't be collectively happy

unless you guys have,

like, everything that you want.

-What would Granddaddy think?

Would he want you to have your dream house

you built from the ground up?

And you could do that right here.

Super close…

-to Mom and Dad.

-Yeah.

What was Grandpa's favorite saying?

Wow.

Give you guys a second.

Okay. For sure.

I love you, baby.

He's looking down on us right now.

Smiling.

I promise you.

What do you guys think?

I think that

this is what my granddaddy would want.

I think he would want me

to stay close to my mom and dad.

-If we do choose house over wedding…

-Mm-hmm.

…this is definitely the route we wanna go.

I think it's the only way

we're gonna hit all the boxes.

I think you'll both really be surprised

with what I've got planned next.

Oh, schnikies.

- What?

-Are you excited?

-Yes!

His name is Flint.

-Flint. He's a boss.

- Beautiful.

- I love his pink feet.

- Pink shoes?

We got the Rolls-Royce!

We're here 'cause in the consultation,

you both wanted a grand exit.

I don't think you can be

more grand than either of these.

-Good. It's pretty big, huh?

-Yeah.

A classic

Cinderella moment right here,

or the beautiful classic car.

-I mean--

-We have to choose?

-Not yet. We gotta ride in them.

-I'm down with that.

-Absolutely.

Rolls-Royce first.

Now this is a lux scene.

And I am digging it.

I've never been in a Rolls-Royce.

My feet were riding on clouds.

That's what they felt like.

Makes you feel good.

"A half million dollars" good.

Sarah really put it out there,

and honestly,

-it was definitely a great touch.

-I could get used to a Rolls.

- Whoo!

-Oh, my God.

- I don't want to get out.

-Can I stay? I wanna live in there.

-Oh, my God.

Score on this one.

-We like it.

-Yes.

High five, awesome.

-But we have one more. Can't choose yet.

-Yes.

What?

Get comfy,

there's a little blanket for you guys.

-Champagne.

- Yeah!

Princess is leaving.

-Ah!

Oh!

Oh, my gosh.

All I have to say is

Sarah is a fairy godmother.

We went from prince and princess

to king and queen in our carriage.

We even got Scott a Rolls-Royce.

It is really overwhelming that

we're seeing our dream wedding unfold

right before our eyes.

I mean,

it could really be a beautiful day.

This would make my granddaddy so happy.

With my best friend.

With my best friend.

Hey, guys.

Oh, my gosh.

I feel like I'm dreaming right now.

-Good.

-So let's talk budget.

- Okay.

For the carriage,

it'd be $1,000 for the whole night.

Okay. And--

-The Rolls-Royce?

- Yes.

You're looking at $1,400

for the whole day.

Okay, so, I need to know.

Which one do you like?

-The carriage or Rolls?

-You know what she'll choose.

-Okay. Go for it.

-Carriage.

-Heck, yes.

- For sure.

I do have one more little surprise

for you.

I know how important

your granddaddy was to you,

and I know that you would have

loved him to be at your wedding.

Just before you exit,

we could give tribute to your grandfather.

-That would mean so much to me.

-Yes. You ready to see it?

-Yes. Absolutely.

-Yes, yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

-Doves?

-That's super cool.

So, just imagine,

showing your love

for your granddaddy and his memory,

and everybody gets to, you know, see that.

-That is big.

-True.

Yeah.

I wish he could see us

start our life together.

But he won't be there.

So, having a tribute

like the doves would mean

we could incorporate my granddaddy

into the best day of my life.

That would be beautiful.

Yeah.

- Say bye to Flint.

- I don't want to.

Might see him soon.

Today was the best.

-I can make magic happen.

-Make dreams come true.

You're my fairy godmother.

I could be your fairy godmother

as a wedding planner.

Might not wear that outfit--

-We don't want you in that.

Read my lips today ♪

I ain't like these other girls

Around the way ♪

Hello!

Hey, guys.

- Hi!

-Welcome!

-Good to see you.

-You, too.

-Hey, Scottie.

-Hi, how's it going?

Good.

Come on in,

have a seat on the couch. Relax today.

How are you feeling?

-Excellent. Nervous.

-Good. Yeah.

You're nervous?

-Yeah?

- Yeah.

Coming into this from our consultation,

you had this fairy-tale dream wedding,

and I feel like our day

really gave you all that.

-I agree.

-One thousand percent.

Can I sweeten the pot just a little bit?

- Please, fairy godmother.

- Yes?

One of our stops was the dance studio.

Because of budget,

you chose hip-hop over the waltz.

We did.

So, I spoke with Travona,

and she will choreograph

the waltz and the hip-hop

for the price of one.

-Get to show off your moves.

-Both.

Sarah discount.

-Wouldn't that be incredible?

-Oh, wow.

But that's not it, though.

I have more up my sleeve.

Brittany, one dress

is not good enough for a princess.

You have to have two, right?

The one amazing outfit

that you looked stunning in

-was the jumpsuit.

- Oh, God.

I know it's important

you have two outfits.

So, if you choose wedding,

they will comp the custom jumpsuit

if you buy a wedding dress from them.

-Are you serious?

-Mm-hmm.

-I'm speechless.

- That jumpsuit was everything.

-Everything.

- Everything.

-Wow.

- I've got more.

You both wanted a grand exit

from your ceremony to your reception.

You landed on Cinderella carriage.

Yes.

But, if you choose wedding,

I spoke with the luxury car rental,

and they would love to give you

the carriage and the luxury car

together for the price of one.

-Wow.

-I love it.

We could come in and leave

exactly how we were saying.

So, you guys came to me

with a $33,000 budget,

but I only had $8,800 to play with

because the venue, entertainment,

and the food will eat up a lot of it.

Taking into account what we discussed

to pull off your dream day,

the budget comes in at $34,800.

-Oh, I like that.

I was thinking a lot more.

That's awesome.

-Right?

-I really thought it was gonna be 60.

- I know!

-I thought…

So you're telling me

I had more wiggle room.

-No.

-Nope.

-I didn't say that.

-You ready?

- So ready.

So…

We saw some amazing houses.

None of them checked all the boxes.

And that's okay, because

I had something else up my sleeve.

What we landed on was

this beautiful plot of land

you can build your dream home on.

It can be everything you want.

And it's literally within minutes

from your parents' home.

-Yes.

-So, if you choose house,

I spoke with the architect.

Normally,

the architect fees are about $3,000.

And he's wiling to comp

the house renderings and the design work.

And you can design

the home of your dreams.

-Wow.

- That's awesome.

-Right?

-Absolutely.

-Saves you a lot of money.

- Yeah.

Also, I've talked to a tile contractor.

And I know how much you love marble.

He is willing to take

50% off of the services,

so you can have

the beautiful marble floor in the foyer.

-Oh, yeah. That would be amazing.

-That's amazing.

So, if it's your forever home, build it,

customize it, make it your own.

-That's true.

-Yeah.

-The forever home. Exactly what we want.

-It is.

Yeah.

-Let us give you guys a minute, okay?

-Yeah.

Take some time.

We'll be back.

Sarah really provided a great vision

of how, like, our big day could be.

-Two-for-one Sarah.

-Yeah, two-for-one. Both dances.

The carriage and the Rolls.

And the tribute to Granddaddy

was so sweet.

I'm actually very, very torn.

I want everybody to know I'm marrying

the most beautiful girl in the world.

If I had to bet, I'd say

that she's gonna choose a wedding.

-Wedding?

-"You get this, you get this."

You kept throwing everything

but the bathroom sink at 'em.

But I will tell you,

the custom home on the plot of land?

Her dreams are big,

and to offer her something like that,

-and close to her family--

-Mm-hmm.

You didn't think, walking into this,

you could check all those boxes,

but honestly, it does check all the boxes.

We love adventures.

And building our own house

sounds like a hell of an adventure.

It's like both of us

get to put our own ideas into

what we want, what we're gonna live in,

raise our kids in.

We can tell our kids,

"You know this house you're living in?

Me and your dad built it."

-Are you ready?

-Oh, we are.

First, I need to thank you both,

because I know

that I have absurd requests,

and you guys really made it all happen,

both of you.

And you both did it with grace,

and you both really incorporated

the most important thing to me,

my granddaddy.

-Thank you both so much.

-You're welcome.

I think we're ready to make our decision.

-We're going house.

- Going with mortgage.

-I'm so happy!

- Thank you.

Yay!

I'm very happy we chose house.

I'm gonna be leaving soon.

I want her to feel protected and safe,

and near family.

This is what

my granddaddy would've wanted.

- Hey!

- Whoo!

I want a wedding to celebrate

that I have this hot guy.

But it's gonna have to wait.

Something good's worth waiting for, right?

That's right.

Cheers to a future family home!

- Cheers. Cheers!

- Yay. Yes.

Welcome to my dream house.

Oh, I can't believe it.

There's a door. And bricks.

This is the marble.

Welcome!

We're in Club BS.

Yeah.

I'm obsessed with our forever home.

I'm never leaving.

It's everything we hoped for and more.

Nichole k*lled it.

I was able to get my closets,

my grand staircase,

and the marble?

Perfect!

-Don't scratch the marble!

-Sorry about that.

Scott has his garage.

I do have my garage.

I'm happy about that.

It's such a comfort

having her parents nearby,

because when I do deploy,

it's gonna be a lot easier for me to know

-her family's there to support her.

-We're blessed.

Club BS.
