I just realized I have four hours of MAFS to recap. So, first, let’s try to knock out the MAFS recap for New Orleans. It’s time to get out couples married. Oh apparently, we already did that. It appears that I missed an episode of this show. My DVR is on it’s last leg. I feel like I just replaced my DVR. Anyway, at least I didn’t miss Bennett and Amelia’s wedding. They are my favorite couple.
Bennett & Amelia
It’s kind of crazy that in the smaller cities, we haven’t had this happen before. But Bennett and Amelia have met before! The met at a party once. Why are Amelia’s friends wearing some sort of fringe lamp shade thingys on their heads? They are all wearing brightly colored fringe veils. It’s quirky. And Amelia’s entire wedding ensemble is insane! I don’t know how to put the ceremony into words. There is just so much going on. There is a kid in the audience with a drawn on mustache. What is happening here? They seem perfect for each other. The are so cute together! This couple just makes me happy.

Amelia’s brother makes a toast. Half of her family has fake mustaches drawn on. Her brother is wearing a Mardi Gras hat. This is the most eccentric wedding in MAFS history. Bennett goes to meet the bridesmaids in their fringey veils. Perhaps we will get some sort of explanation. The women announce that Amelia has armpit hair. Bennett’s groomsmen love Amelia. There is some sort of “family tradition” where Bennett has to catch an egg in his mouth that his bride swings at him from a stick! And he catches it! And eats the raw egg!
Christina & Henry
These two are the last couple to tie the knot. They are cute. Henry has a lot of nerves, but Christina does not. At least not until the moment comes. While the bride’s family is very excited by how handsome Henry is, she is getting nervous and cranky. Henry’s response to seeing his bride for the first time was,”She’s tall.” That’s not really a rave review. He’s on the shorter side. This is one of the most awkward marriages I’ve seen. They seem very compatible on paper. They are very awkward one on one. So awkward. She can’t even remember his name.

Henry’s dad gives a speech that basically just embarrasses Henry in front of Christina. Henry has a lot of attractive female friends. They are sort of rude. And. they are very intrusive. They are going to be a problem to this marriage.
Karen & Miles
These two got married on the episode that I missed. She was threatening to be a runaway bride after she somehow became aware of her future husband’s name. She stalked him on the Internet and was not interested. I hate Karen. Miles is a great guy. He is so excited about this. I just know she is going to break his heart. Karen’s mom makes it clear to Miles she’s not all in on this entire situation. She also tells him not to pressure her. Miles parents are wonderful. But they tell Karen that Miles is messy when it comes to the house.
Olivia & Brett
I honestly don’t remember much about these two. They seem to like each other. We are not really seeing a lot about this couple yet. That could be a good thing, or a bad thing. Brett’s friends tell Olivia that Brett’s go to response if often sarcasm. His friends are optimistic about the marriage. Brett’s sarcasm comes out when talking to Olivia’s friends. They don’t seem to be amused by him. Oh I remember now, Brett is the asshole.
Amani & Woody
Woody seems really into his bride. Amani has a father and a stepfather. They both get along and want Woody to know he will have two dads to deal with if he hurts their daughter, That said, they both have a good feeling about Woody. Aw, Woody is not on good terms with his father and he is grateful that now he has two dads he can call for advice. Both of Amani’s dads are very open to that and seem like great people. These three guys are great together. Amani meets Woody’s groomsmen. They tell her that Woody is super clean and obsessed about his image.

In the end, all of these couples seem like good matches. They all seem happy and there were no major issues. And off they all go to their hotel rooms. Christina seems to be the least attractive to her spouse. Which is odd because he is hot. Karen gets Miles to give her a foot massage on her wedding night. Amelia is so much more attractive in her PJs with no make up than she was at the wedding. Everyone is off to a great start! But then there is Brett… Le sigh.
I like Henry, but I think he may be “neurologically atypical”. I don’t mind that, and I think he could make a good husband, but Christina will need to understand him better. I don’t get his friends at all. They were pretty rude and judgmental.
Brett’s family all seem to think put downs are funny, which is a bad combination with (overly) sweet Olivia. I don’t see Brett being attracted to Olivia at all, and I think he will crush her sensitive soul. I can see myself fast forwarding through their scenes, as it is no fun to watch that mean dynamic.
The true star of this episode is Amelia’s armpit hair. In the episode when she tried on dresses I saw the hair and was horrified. I thought surely she’d shave before the wedding but…no. I know lots of cultures don’t go in for armpit shaving so don’t start with me about that. But this is the United States. We are an advanced society. We don’t grow armpit hair that looks like Cousin It is living under your arms. Especially in a hot climate. In a strapless dress. No no no no no no no.
I’m with you on the armpit hair, I’m pretty much anti body hair period. On men too!
What kind of doctor is Amelia? I must have missed that. Looking forward to watching these two.
I don’t watch this show and have no idea who the couple is. My impression from photo,
She is extra happy clingy as looks at him as a prize.
He looks as if he wants to vomit.
I would watch a whole series about Amelia and Bennett. Love them!
Second this! They are the cutest! Armpit hair and all!
It’s gonna get ugly with the covid shutdown looming..
If I remember correctly, years ago there was a reality show about a place in New Orleans where you can get married anyway you want. People had like naked and just anything. Parents would show up and be shocked. Didn’t last long. But semi famous that people who drive cross country to get married there.
Did anyone else notice Henry’s friend Trishell??? She was on the real world wasn’t she? Vegas season?
Wait what? How did I miss Trishelle? That’s interesting.
She was super drunk and kept taking to Christina- it was amazingly bad. The production even did a whole interview with her!
Well now I’m mad that I deleted after watching! Trishelle has annoyed me since her real world days. I don’t even remember why or if I even have a reason for thinking she’s annoying.
All I remember is that she was annoying, and everyone called her Trashelle. I think she was mostly just kind of slutty, but I can’t remember if I fed the dog most days. So….I might be wrong.
I’m with you on the dog feeding one thousand percent. I think it was maybe a combination of her name, hearing it constantly and who even knows what else that just makes me think annoying=Trishelle. Thank you for making me feel not so crazy.
Can we move off the armpit hair please? It is a natural thing. It is not dirty. It is unusual in North America, but not in many parts of the world, including western cultures. Is it my thing? No. Do I find it attractive? No. Am I prepared to get all judgemental about it? Also no. She likes it, he likes it. Can we talk about something else please?
Amen. Shaving regimes are decided by the person whose body is growing the hair. There are plenty of women who don’t shave. It’s really not a big deal,
I wish they would’ve matched Olivia with Henry. I’m no “expert”, but they seem much better suited for each other than the brat and asshole they were paired with.
I agree 100%!
