James and Ryann joined the social experiment as they were in a relationship for the past 7 years and James was not ready for marriage. Ryann wanted to explore more quality time with James to know him better. Another issue faced by the couple was that James moved out of Carolina for his higher studies and when he was there he cheated on Ryann.

James had communication issues and did not open up to Ryann about his struggles until the trial marriage happened. Ryann wanted to get married for a long time. She appeared on the show with James for the same. She said during her introduction footage in season 2:

"I think about being married every day,my future family, my future husband, my future kids."

James opened up during the confessional and said:

"I find it hard to believe in one true love. Statistically, I don't think that is possible. There are 8 billion people in this world."

Ryann and James had a rollercoaster ride on the show, The Ultimatum as Ryann gave James the ultimatum, and James was not ready for marriage citing financial and emotional stability as the reason.
