Fans have been wondering what happens with Michael on his wedding day. In the first episode it looks like he gets left at the altar, and in this episode, we saw the moment when his unnamed bride-to-be got cold feet.
After the shocking moment, he handled it with grace and shared how disappointed he was about how everything went down.
“More than just getting married today, right? You kind of put yourself in the mindset of, like, what is the journey going to look like? And, you know, sure, there’s a little bit of hubris in this, but I would have hoped if, you know, she had doubts coming into it that seeing me at the you know, standing up there would have helped quelled some of that. Yeah, clearly that wasn’t the case, which, you know, that’s all right. But there’s probably there’s, you know, sadness. That’s a bit humbling,” he shared.
Michael got emotional and called his experience a “failure,” but he is still open for love in the future.
“It’s a failure, but it hasn’t changed who I am. What’s next for me is just going through what I need to go through to continue to process this. I still feel the same way in terms of my readiness for marriage, but I might have to make peace with the possibility that marriage might not be in the cards for me,” he said.
Later, he read a note that his runaway bride left for him, where she shared how sorry she was as well as expressing gratitude for how he handled the situation.
“Dear Michael, I can’t express how sorry I am to have not given this marriage the chance you deserve. I hope that one day you’ll be able to fill the adventure book up with incredible memories of you and your future wife. You couldn’t have been more gracious and empathetic towards me, and it shows what a great man you really are. You are a true gentleman, a kind soul. I wish you the best.” he read.

The pair are getting set to get married, but they certainly seem to have some major pre-wedding nerves going on and both were speaking about the jitters they were feeling about marrying a stranger.
“Life is too short. And I just want to be able to at the end of this, to have somebody who I can see spending the rest of my life with. But there’s so many things that may not go the way that I’m thinking in my head. So just like the unknown is the most scary thing to me,” Clare said.
