Joe Bradley surprised the Southern Hospitality cast with a sudden wedding plan during their Las Vegas trip. He took Maddi Reese and their friends to a wedding chapel without revealing his intentions.

"This is our love language—doing something so spontaneous and out of the box," Joe explained to the cameras.

Upon arrival, Maddi was excited to meet the Elvis Presley impersonator, but was unaware that the ceremony was meant for her and Joe.

“I don’t know what’s going on. I have no idea,” she said.

Joe reassured her that the ceremony was just for fun, saying, "It's manifesting it. It's for funsies." After hesitating, Maddi agreed, responding, “OK, fine f— it. I’m down.”

Joe gathered his friends to serve as groomsmen, while Maddi got ready in the bridal suite. Michols Peña and TJ Dinch had mixed reactions to Joe’s impulsiveness, with Michols jokingly saying,

“He’s obsessive. That’s what it’s giving.”

Despite doubts from some friends, the ceremony proceeded. Maddi wore a pink wig and veil, carried a plastic bouquet, and walked down the aisle. Joe got emotional upon seeing her, prompting Maddi to ask,

“Are you really crying right now?”

Fake Elvis officiated the ceremony in Southern Hospitality, quoting classic Presley love songs. When asked to exchange vows, Joe said,

TJ Dinch questioned why Will was directing the conversation at him, while Emmy confronted TJ for bringing up the matter publicly.

“I hold TJ to a different standard. TJ was me and Will's best friend, and best friends don’t humiliate best friends the way he humiliated me and Will,” she said in a confessional.

As tensions rose in Southern Hospitality, Lake Rucker steered the conversation toward the cheating rumors, confronting Will about allegations of infidelity. Austin Rhodes, who had heard the claims from a law school graduate, hesitated, but eventually shared what he knew.

He explained that the woman had mentioned knowing Will, and claimed he was frequently unfaithful to Emmy. Joe then pressed Will to address the specific accusations, bringing up a claim that he had been involved with someone in a bathroom.

Will denied the accusation, firmly stating that it wasn’t true. Austin added that, according to the rumors, the situation had escalated with claims of Will being involved with multiple women. Emmy demanded proof, repeatedly asking for names.

“Where’s the evidence? Where’s the proof?... There’s nothing we can do,” she said.

In a confessional, she insisted,

“He doesn’t cheat on me. Like, I’m insane. Like, I’m psychotic. I know everything about him. Like, it's... it's just not true.”

Bradley Carter, watching the situation unfold, pointed out that Will often put himself in positions where he appeared guilty. Meanwhile, TJ acknowledged that he was now more inclined to believe the rumors. He explained that while he wouldn’t have believed them three months ago, Will's comments about Emmy made the allegations seem more credible.
