This was followed by Salamina asking the couple what they felt when Aiden was sitting across from her parents asking for her hand. She also said that if only thinking about the moment was getting her teary-eyed, she couldn't imagine what the duo must have gone through.
Aiden shared that it was an intense experience and that her parents took a while to give him an answer. He said they never gave him a straight answer just shook hands with him in approval.
Courtney said that she always wants to make their parents proud and do the right thing, so when her parents gave her the green light for Aiden, she felt relieved. She also felt proud about how Aiden conducted himself on The Ultimatum: South Africa.
The host also asked Aiden about his employment status, because one of the most important things to Courtney's parents was him getting a job. Aiden said that he had found a job and that he loved it.
Salamina then referred to the shocking moment from episode 9, where Courtney pulled out a ring from her shoe after Aiden proposed to her. Courtney revealed:
"I was like listen, 'If this man is not going to marry me, I'm going to marry him'".
Courtney and Aiden's journey on The Ultimatum: South Africa
Aiden's run with his trial partner Lebo, wasn't long because Lebo left the show early on after discovering her boyfriend, Nolla's, intimate details with his trial partner Ruth. Aiden was supportive of Lebo and stood by her in her fight with Nolla. On the reunion episode, Lebo had nothing but kind words to say to Aiden and thanked him for his support.
Courtney on the other hand had a chemistry with her trial partner Genesis, but it never went beyond her love for Aiden. Staying with Genesis, she learned crucial things to look out for when in a relationship and was better equipped with things that would ensure a smoother run with Aiden.
Midseason on The Ultimatum: South Africa, when the participants got together before swapping their trial partners for the real ones, Courtney said that she had found a best friend in Genesis.
The Ultimatum: South Africa is available to stream on Netflix.
