- Will you marry me? - [gasps]
Artem!
Yes.
Four years ago, I literally met this guy,
and four years later, I'm marrying him
in our favorite place in the world.
This is where I'm meant to be,
and this is the person I'm meant to be with.
So Artem and I finally decided that we're gonna get married.
- [gasps] - Oh, yay. About time.
In, like, four weeks.
- In what? - What?
I would like to have a bridal shower.
I'd like to have a bachelorette party.
I had a couple fun ideas.
I don't want to wear a dick on my head.
I'm almost 40.
Here's to the same penis for the rest of your life!
Mazel tov. Boom.
What?
No!
If you have sex tonight, I'm gonna be able to hear you.
[yelps] Nicole!
No, I wouldn't even let Bryan marry me here.
[laughs]
If my parents will never meet my son,
that'd be the most devastating thing to me.
Artem freaked out at me.
It was, like, kind of crazy.
I'm kind of worried about you guys.
That's how it's gonna be forever.
That's really, like, a big deal.
Your guys' arguments gives him cold feet.
Does what I say even matter?
Oh, God, Artem, really?
On wedding days, something always goes wrong.
But if you need a second.
Does everyone know the drama that's happening?
This is, like, a------- disaster.
This time, my groom ran away.

Whoa, Tay.
Whoa.

Artem and I do have such a special love story.
Artem came into my life so unexpectedly.
Artem was my "Dancing with the Stars" pro.
This is Artem.
What's up?
I don't know. You tell me what's up.
Well, I'm single.
Just the chemistry and the feelings,
everything was so magnetic, and...
he's just everything I ever dreamed of and more.
Hey. Run to Mommy.
Run, run, run! - Go, go, go, go, go.
Artem proposed to me two and a half years ago.
Will you marry me?
[gasps] Artem!
Yes.
We really want to be husband and wife.
But there's been a lot of things
that have delayed our wedding.
Well, first, I got pregnant.
That was kind of a big shocker.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
- Then the pandemic hit. - Mm-hmm.
And we're just trying to figure out how to be parents.
Then Artem does "Dancing with the Stars."
Can you believe he won?
Don't forget getting inducted
to the Hall of Fame with Brie. - Oh, yeah.
I mean, that's actually a lot within two years,
if you think about it.
Am I getting the biggest chocolate kisses?
Tay Tay, I think we're gonna have to make it official,
huh, baby?
It's obviously a long time coming,
I mean, from proposal to where we are right now.
Feel like we can totally plan this in four weeks.
Four weeks?
Well, think of what we do, like, as entertainers.
I feel like we just never know when the next gig is.
And no matter what, we know the next four weeks,
like, we have off.
I say we get it done before "Dancing" because
so much keeps happening, and why not just make
our family a family officially?
- Okay. - Yeah?
Let's do it.
You're in? So you mean...
Yeah.
Artem...
Shut up. Stop it.
Chigvintsev.
Did I say that right? - Almost.
Will you marry me?
Tay Tay, what should we say?
Yay! We are. - Yeah.
Should Mama and Dada get married?
Yay! - Tay Tay, can you believe it?
Yay!
Can you believe what just happened?
All right, Tay, well, four weeks.
Four weeks.
Tay Tay, I guess Mama gonna really

Mwah. Brie, I'm gonna go look at the cake.
Have you seen it? - Oh, no.
High five.
Ah, good job.
So today's Buddy and Matteo's second birthday,
which I can't believe Matteo is turning two.
- Oh, my God. - I mean...
And look how it says Buddy and Matteo.
Since Matteo's been in Artem and I's lives, like,
we just have become more of, like, a team.
But we used to love to go out and dance.
Now we love to Netflix and chill.
And so I just think, two years ago,
Brie and I were in the hospitals giving birth.
Nicole and I were tripping out because
the babies could be born...
Maybe the same day, maybe a couple days apart.
[baby crying] - Baby boy!
It's a boy!
Buddy and Matteo.
You guys don't even know, but you're gonna be
best friends for life.
You are.
Matteo and Buddy are total brothers.
Well, we call them our spiritual twins.
They remind me of Brie and I so much.
They're, like, night-and-day different.
Matteo is very shy.
When you see them together, Buddy's like...

And Teo's like, "No."
We gotta race. - Oh, my gosh.
Am I gonna fit in it?
I know that they're gonna be peas in a pod.

Go!
The story of Nicole and our life
is that we're very competitive.
We gotta see who's the better mom-and-son duo.
Yeah, Bird!
Bird, help me win.
I knew what to do, half body in, half body out.
Whoo!
It's okay, I'll go--I'm gonna go try and cut her off.
There we go. Let's go again, Dodo.
Uh-oh. Say, "Oopsie."
Too many mimosas, Boo!
No, your daughter's [indistinct] for you.
- Yeah. - I don't blame her.
Should we let Dodo catch up?
No!

Hey, Mom.
Hey, honey.
- How cute is it? - And then, Mom, lookit.
Mom, I wish you guys were here.
- Mom, lookit. - Oh.
We have full-on brunch, bar, everything.
My mom's living in Phoenix with Johnny.
And she's actually doing so well.
I got a virus and then woke up with Bell's palsy
two days ago. - That's crazy.
Mom's face became more paralyzed.
She's gonna have to get brain surgery.
She's lucky to be alive.
Now she's just on the road to recovery
and hopefully, one day, can get her movement back.
- Okay, love you. - Okay, love you too.
- They did a great job. - Bye.
- Hello, Mom. - Da.
Teo, did you say hi to your babushka?
I said that right, right?
[laughs]
Aw, is your mom loving it? - Yeah.
- That's cute. - Yeah.
My brother and my parents currently live in Russia.
Everything that's been going on
between Russia and Ukraine is affecting
my parents' travel situation.
Let's show your grandma how you are on this.
Whoa!
U.S., if you want to apply for a visa right now,
it's--it's impossible.
It's hard because I know, like, Artem's mom gets
super emotional when she sees all these things
because they miss out on, like, all these moments.
That has to be so tough.
Yeah, I'm FaceTiming with my mom, yeah,
so she feels like part of it.
I mean, we live in great times.
We can Skype and FaceTime and Zoom and do all that,
but it's not the same.
My mom never held Matteo as a baby, you know?
My parents never physically saw my son.
- It's crazy. - I know.
It's so sad.
Especially 'cause his mom would be
such a hands-on grandma. - Right, yeah.
I was there on the phone one time when she was crying.
And she's like, "I just want to hold him."
And I was like, "Oh, my gosh."
Yeah, girl, dos or tres? We're judging you.
I should probably walk to the girls who are drinking.
- Yeah. - Like, you and I could be,
like, casted in "Bad Moms." - Thank you.
Cheers.
- Um... - What?
I'm really nervous to tell Brie about getting married
because I mean, look, Brie is my other half,
true ride or die, and I'm gonna need her help.
And I mean, like, full help.
I was about to tell Eileen something, and then I was like,
"Well, I can't because I have to tell Brie first."
And then I thought Brie and Bryan,
but then Bryan was, like, running around somewhere.
Oh, gosh. What, are you pregnant again?
What? No.
Oh.
We go back and forth about having another one.
But we--like, I--
So is that what you're gonna tell us?
No, actually, um,
so Artem and I finally decided that we're gonna get married.
- [gasps] - Oh, yay. About time.
In, like, four weeks.
- In what? - What?
Here's to the same penis for the rest of your life.

Four weeks? There's no way.
No, before "Dancing with the Stars" starts.
Yeah, we're doing it. - Courthouse?
No, absolutely not.
I think I could honestly find a wedding venue.
Lookit, we live in Napa Valley.
I feel like there's so many places.
My sister shocks me a lot.
But this, like...[laughs]
Nicole, I've seen your Pinterest board.
My sister has very detailed ideas
of what she wants for her wedding.
I just know that Pandora's box has just now opened.
Is it gonna be a big wedding or small or--
I mean, well, I would prefer for it to be big,
like, but I feel like a lot of people are here,
a lot are L.A., you have some Arizona.
You get married in a vineyard, you don't really need florals.
You're gonna want florals.
The most important things to book first,
I should see if there's a band available and then a venue.
Are you gonna have, like, a bridal party and stuff?
I mean, am I?
Oh, gosh, and then I'd be in charge.
- Yeah. - Yeah, you have to.
What do you mean, "Am I?"
If there's time, I would like to have a bridal shower.
I'd like to have a bachelorette party.
I do want to have a really bomb wedding too.
Maid of honor, you got your work cut out for you.
I would like--
So when would you like the bachelorette party,
like, next week?
And I want him to be the ring bearer.
- Aw. - I don't know.
So, Bryan... - Yeah.
Listen to what Artem and Nicole
think they can accomplish.
- Okay. - Plan a wedding in four weeks.
- That's great. - No, no, no.
Four weeks, Nicole style.
Great, but you have to know, with me traveling,
she's not gonna have that much time to help.
Well, I'm the maid of honor.
Did I ask you yet?
She asked? She asked?
But if you want the wedding to be something
that you uniquely want,
four weeks usually isn't enough time.
- Should we do the cake? - Yeah.
Let's go do to the cake 'cause it's 11:00.
Okay, 'cause we're all right here, should we sing
"Happy Birthday" to the boys?

[laughs] I knew you were gonna say that.
You're such a bitch.
Do you want to start collecting résumés?
'Cause that'd be great.
So we're in fire season.
Don't put bad juju.
I'm not gonna put it-- anything.
Do I have fears of them planning the wedding?
No.
I don't.

Well, you and I are a lot alike too,
so I feel like you know I know what you love.
That place, Artem and I looked at that.
So see if they're available, Boo-boo.
I'll look.
So I started to do the list.
And Artem and I definitely are right about 200 people.

Well, where we're going, I told you, right?
Chateau St. Jean, I think that's how you would say it.
- Probably Chateau St. Jean. - Yeah.
- Okay. - St. "Gene," St. "John."
Did you bring a list of questions for them?
No, I got 'em up here.
Oh, my gosh.
I just love that look of that open look of wineries

Why don't you have the welcome cocktail here?
Little happy hour before you say, "I do."

these gorgeous ballerinas.
I mean, Nicole, you don't got a lot of time.
One thing that we do need to do before my wedding night,
I have a massive bush that I need to get rid of.
[laughter] - You have a bush?
Brie, I've turned into you, and it's so bad.
Too tired.
That's what I always tell Artem when he, like,
just stares at it when I get out of the shower.
I'm like, "What are you looking at?"
He goes, "Nothing."
I go, "You were totally staring at my bush."
Say, "Equality on the pubic hair, mother------."

Since you're having your wedding in four weeks,
I need to plan your bridal shower.
How do I send invites? 'Cause I can't mail 'em.

Exactly.

My best friend is getting married.
Ah, dude, I'm, like, stressed.
I would love to get my parents.
Yeah, what's happening with that?
I mean, I don't think it's possible.
First of all, it's not like we have a year to do it.
Dude, the wedding is in--
In two hours. [laughter]
No, not two hours.
Little bit over three weeks.
And whatever is going on right now,
obviously, with the whole Ukraine-Russia situation,
I don't think there's even, like, airspace
that actually is open for people to fly from Russia.
Well, yeah. Like, America, forget about it.
Yeah.
My mom is definitely excited that Nicole and I,
we're actually gonna get married.
But my parents cannot make it to Napa
for the wedding because there's been sanctions.
How's yours?
'Cause they're, like, right in the midst of--
Yeah, so my mom and dad, like I told you,
they moved to Crimea. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, my mom is actually freaking out every day,
'cause she texts me, like, "If we wake up
"in the morning and we're, like, alive,
we're really grateful." So it's like--
- Damn. - Yeah.
We cannot base our decision of getting married
because of what's going on right now in Russia.
Truth, we don't know if it's gonna take a year or two
or five or even more years.
Obviously, have to look at things realistically.
Yeah.
I'm just hoping that she gonna get the wedding
she wants because, you know--
She already has everything what she wants.
She's got you. She's got Teo.
And that's most important thing for her.
Let's hope nobody have a cold feet.
- Yeah. - So we'll see.

Do I look like I'm in Hawaii right now?
You do look like you're in Hawaii.
Am I giving you Hawaiian vibes?
Yeah. Can you do hula?
Yeah.
It's nice to be out, no?
I know. We haven't been out in a while.
Called parent life.
Plus, we're trying to plan a wedding,
so it might be good that we sit and chat.
Oh, yeah, we do that. That's true.
Yeah. We do plan a wedding.
I forgot about it for a second. - Yeah.
The ring, you want white gold, right?
Yeah. It's this hand, right?
- Yeah, your left. - Yeah.
Okay, perfect.
So any other great news you want to tell me,
you want to share it with me?
I wish I had it.
Everything that we've wanted in Napa
that we've dreamt of when we go wine tasting
or take Matteo out to eat, and we're always like,
what about this, or what about that,
none of that's happening.
I feel like I kind of got a little bit
of a panic attack last night.
I just kind of started to feel like everything
that we're trying to do is, like, not happening
or it's wrong.
And then I start to get anxiety.
And your parents can't come. Nana can't come.
We're not doing things we like.
I don't even know yet how you feel of me, like,
having--wearing my dress.
What do you mean, wearing your dress?
Well, I told you I was just thinking, like,
here I own this-- - Oh.
- I would just wear that. - No, I actually--
Because how do you even get a wedding dress, right, within--
That's the least thing on my mind.
Yeah. Which I figured.
If you happy with it, you happy with it.
- Right. - Look,
you want to pick the dress you want to wear,
you pick the dress you want to wear.
Aw, that's why I love you.
But...
I mean, my biggest issue, obviously,
I'm not planning to get married again.
And of course, I wanted to make sure that my parents
can be there and my family can be there
and my brother and--you know, because it's important
part of it, you know? - Yeah.
Especially on top of it, they never met Matteo.
And, like, that would be the perfect way
of them meeting our son.
And I mean, I'm not thrilled about our options over here.
No, I agree.
Look, I'm not regretful to try to make it happen.
- Yeah. - For sure not.
I think the one thing that kind of, like,
on my mind all the time and--is just my parents.
That's it. - Yeah.
Everything else, you know, it's...
Just really, really want your parents to be there.
I wish there was, like, just something.
With the current situation in Russia,
there is absolutely no way possible
my parents could make it.
But when you actually say it out loud,
it makes it even more real.
And it's been challenging because you feel like
you completely get cut off from that world,
which has been really frustrating.
And sometimes I feel, like, helpless.
I can't believe my parents haven't even held my son.
I know.
Like, that is sort of heartbreaking.
It's like, it's not normal.
It's beyond-- not even not normal.
It's just, it's ludicrous that that is the case, you know?
I know.
I mean, if, God forbid-- like, I don't even
want to, like, throw it out there.
But like, if my parents will never
meet my son in person, that'd be the most
devastating thing to me.
Yeah.
'Cause you can never get that.
Never, ever with anything.

I'm sorry.
The one thing that I've realized
of being a fiancée to him,
Artem is definitely a realist.
Artem is so close to his family,
but yet they're so far away.
And Artem doesn't have a lot of people here in America.
And it just makes me so emotional
because I'm all about family.
Like, family is number one in my life.
Like, my son doesn't get to meet his grandparents.
All you want to do is, like, put 'em on a flight
and bring 'em here.
And we can't do that.

We all know how much Nicole loves vintage and history
and she's all about teatime,
so I thought the perfect place to have her bridal shower
would be a place where we could have teatime, wine time,
see vineyards, and be in something historic.
So hello, the Napa Valley Wine Train
is perfect for all of that.
Oh, Nicole. Good morning.
Can I take a picture of you in front of your--
Oh, wow.
One, two, three.
- Let's do this. - All right, soon-to-be-bride.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness. - What?
Probably the best maid of honor in the whole wide world.
- Yes. - Yeah.
How pretty are all the centerpieces?
Um, you're welcome.
Nicole, by the way, this dress,
do they have that in black?
I don't think so.
Well, because of Napa,
in a couple weeks, it could be hot.
So short maid of honor dresses could be good.
Yeah. Well, I mean, I'll be honest.
I don't even know if Napa's gonna happen.
But we'll see.
I have an idea. National parks.
Nicole getting married in a national park?
Here, I would get married here.
Like, on one of those mountains.
But there's so many mosquitoes
up in those mountains.
Well, then you're just not being flexible.
You're just--you're not--
I feel like I was compromising a lot.
I was telling Artem this last night at dinner.
There are things that Artem and I both want
and we're just not getting.
And then honestly, guys, he's just
really hurt about his parents.
So, like, he got so emotional last night.
Like, U.S. is out of question.
They can't get here.
And I just don't-- I don't know
what to do because all he wants
more than anything-- Artem would go
get married right there if his mom and dad could be there.
And I would actually do the same if his mom
and dad could be there. I'm such a fixer.
My personality is always about fixing and pleasing.
But it's really hard that I can't fix this situation
for him because I know it's the one thing that there's nothing
more in the world he'd want than to be with his parents,
and I can't even do anything about it.
[light music]
All right.
Here's to the same penis for the rest of your life!
Whoo!
It's a bridal shower, right, not a bachelorette?
I'm gonna explain the first game.
And then we'll get this train going.
So I was googling all these fun games.
This is the kind of stuff that, like, makes bridal showers fun.
Take a ring and put it on.
Brie's gonna tell you all the first game.
So I think my sister's gonna be mind-blown.
That's, like, what I'm really excited to see.
Anyone says "wedding" or "bride,"
you get to steal the ring.
At the end, whoever has the most rings wins a prize.
Ooh.
I will say the one game we were gonna play
that we didn't have time is, I got a lot of toilet paper
and we were gonna make a wedding dress.
Oh, ring!
Ring! [all cheering]
Whoo!
We are gonna see how well do you know your bride.
So I had to Artem come over to my house.
Oh, you can't say that, Brie.
Oh!
Chrissy can have it.
How did I lose both--
How did I lose my shoe?
There you go, girl.
So you guys get to hear Artem's answers.
Then next we're gonna say how well do you know your groom.
Clothes off or personal? Just kidding.
Okay, what is Nicole's favorite sex position?
For sure, missionary.
Kathy, earmuffs.
I know. Always, right?
Probably go with missionary style.
[bell dings]
- He knows you. - Oh!
Where's Nicole's favorite place in the world and why?
Paris.
In France, Paris. [bell dings]
She loves it.
My sister honestly thinks she's French.
She does.
I love how you talk---- about me.
Okay, Artem.
Wow, it's gonna sound very...
sentimental. - Uh-oh.
But it's gonna have to be the place where, you know,
I proposed. - Aw!
- Oh, my God. - Cute.
- France.
- Aw. - Good answer.
Yay, Artem.
- He's a catch. - Here's to Artem!
Whoo, we love him!
So cute.
Thank you all so much for coming.
It meant so, so much to me.
Did I do amazing?
Yes. - You killed it.
I'm not gonna lie.
I thought it was gonna be really easy to plan this
in four weeks 'cause we can call, venue says they're open,
you put your deposit down, then we go.
And then when I was watching Artem on that and to know,
like, where our favorite places are
and how much his family means to him,
it just makes me feel like that maybe
just Napa isn't right for the wedding
and there's somewhere else. I don't know.
One thing that I've always been hooked on, growing up,
is the phrase "Run away to Paris with me."
And I always thought I would use that with a guy
and think what I kind of finally realized
is maybe it just deals with my wedding
and maybe I just need my groom to run away to Paris with me
and get married.
Give me Paris, and I give him his parents,
and, like, that's all we need.
It's crazy, though, because most people change
their mind, like, a year out.
Right, Mom.
And then she's going from Napa to Paris.
Like, if Artem's parents can be there,
yes, that's a fairy tale.
I just don't know how real that can be.
Mom, are you ready to go to Europe in two weeks?
Nicole is a huge dreamer, which I've always loved.
But I know what comes along with that is chaos.
And I've been used to the chaos for 38 years.
Oh, God.
Well, and then sometimes is it just maybe
just Artem and I go somewhere?
- You could. - Oh.
No.
- Well, why not? - Well, that makes me sad.
Then we can wait for him here in Napa.
So I throw Nicole a bridal shower,
I have to do a bachelorette party,
and then, like, I don't get to be at her wedding?
Sucks.
All I know is, I did all my things.
You, I don't even know what to say.
Wherever you get married, I'll try to make.
I can't make promises. - [gasps]
Oh!
Aw, Artem!
I'm leaving. Come on, Mom.
Go have fun drinking.
So, you know how we were at Bottega last night...
Yeah.
And when we were talking about your parents,
just how much we wish they can be a part of things,
and then watching your video, maybe all the signs have
shown us how Napa isn't right.
Like, nothing's worked out.
We feel like we're compromising everything.
And I get it. We're a few weeks out.
And this is bat----.
But then I just started to think, like...
What?
We don't even have the venue we want in Napa.
Maybe we just go elope somewhere
but maybe somewhere your parents can go,
somewhere where we love,
somewhere where you proposed.
Would you do Paris?
I mean, definitely great idea.
It clicked that we should do it in Paris.
I feel like Artem and I have had our most
romantic moments in Paris.
We've had, like, those movie moments.
Think of it this way.
Got engaged, Tay Tay was conceived there as well.
Think he was already in here.
And now I'm getting married.
So it's like, you know, best thing comes in threes.
Is that what they say? - Oh, yeah.
And plus, hey, if my parents can make it,
that would be the cherry on top of the cake.
- Yeah. - Praying for it.
Run away to Paris with me?
Ready? Go.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Like Matteo.
Oh, my gosh, imagine what my dress
would look like in France.
Bachelorette is going to be crazy.
Whoo!
Let's get weird! - Yeah!
Am I really about to do a pole dance?
[speaking Russian]
It's just not gonna happen.
If you come to Paris with me and we
just put it all together.
It's not our wedding.
- I'm very stressed. - I'm really stressed.
I feel like there's no venues left.
You could get married here.
I mean, who knows?
.
We really don't know how to pick the spots, don't we?
