"We just have to hope that we can convince our parents that we are of sound mind and that this is real, and that the love I feel is real. And this person, the love they feel is real. That they are the right person for me."

Taylor expressed nervousness about Garrett meeting her dad. She explained why her father wanted to have a private conversation with her soon-to-be husband off camera. When Garrett was to ask her hand in marriage, Taylor replied:

"To meet you in person, know that you're real, see that I'm okay, see how I actually feel, spend more time with the person who would be my husband. Having you ask for my hand in marriage, its gonna make all the difference."
