Cori's Health Struggles and Emotional Journey

The premiere episode reveals the emotional and physical challenges Cori faces, including the serious stroke she suffered in January. The traumatic event led to an honest and raw moment on her Instagram, where Cori reflected on her feelings of fear and confusion.

The wedding planning process, which spans four months, provides the backdrop for these personal struggles. The series dives into the emotional tension of coordinating a huge wedding guest list, designing a stunning bridal gown by Michael Costello, and preparing for a major life event while facing health challenges.

A particularly heartfelt moment comes when Cori shares her insecurities about her wedding dress. As she contemplates her body image and her struggles with self-acceptance, she confesses, "I do feel like the outcast, right? I am the bigger friend. I am the chocolate friend. I am the sick friend," she speaks, struggling to hold back her tears. "My dress. It's not making me feel safe or sexy."

In a vulnerable conversation, Cori also opens up about her doubts regarding her relationship with Wayne. “It’s just so weird to me that Wayne got on one knee, and sometimes I’d be like, ‘Why? Like, why do you love me this much? What do you see in me?’” she says. The candid moment captures Cori’s internal battle with insecurity and self-worth, while also highlighting the deep love and understanding that she and Wayne share.

Facing Public Criticism

The couple’s journey is also marred by public criticism. In a later episode, Cori and Wayne reveal their save-the-date video for the wedding, which quickly attracts negative comments online. “Of course, the haters come in eventually,” Cori shares. She discusses how people questioned the authenticity of her relationship, with critics suggesting that Wayne only proposed because of his connection to Snoop Dogg. Cori’s response to these comments shows her resilience, as she emphasizes that their love is genuine, despite the public scrutiny.
