TIFFANY and RONALD
It was Tiffany and Ronald's wedding day but she was "stressing the f-ck out" because Ronald went to pick her father up from a casino hotel.Ronald was one week out of the wellness center and admitted he was scared about "giving into temptation." Tiffany and Ronald's difficult past flooded Tiffany's memory, and she said one day at the casino could destroy everything they had worked to build.
Tiffany couldn't help but think something bad was going to happen, but Ronald apparently was in and out of the casino. This was Ronald's first and biggest test since leaving the wellness center and he said he "kicked its ass."

RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE' COUPLES NOWTiffany was going to depend on Ronald for being a good husband and a good father to Daniel. Tiffany said Ronald had taken a step in the right direction but he still had a lot to prove because "so much was at stake."
It then became time for Tiffany's wedding and she was excited and scared at the same time, but she was becoming more confident Ronald could make wise decisions about his life.
Meanwhile, Ronald was ready to get married and be a father figure to Daniel.
Laura decided to trust her heart, and when she walked down the aisle, Ronald cried.
As for Daniel, he shed a couple tears of happiness as well and said he'd have a lot of responsibility going forward in having to listen to two parents.
Tiffany and Ronald said it was one of the best days of their lives. They had no idea where they were going to live or what would be best for Daniel, but they planned to decide as a family.
LAURA and ALADIN
Laura had been in Qatar for two days, but she and Aladin kept fighting over the "damn vibrator" she had brought with her from the United States. Laura said Aladin should be more open minded because it's important for the wife in a marriage to be satisfied in bed.Laura and Aladin then went to a local market so Laura could soak in the culture. Aladin said he had to buy an outfit for Laura for Ramadan, when they are supposed to fast from morning to sunset.

"When you start to lose your sense of freedom, it goes against my grain, actually," Laura told the cameras.
Laura thought asking a woman to cover up is "B-S," but she agreed to dress that way during Ramadan out of respect for her new husband.
However, she had no intention of becoming subservient to Aladin.
Laura said a more conservative side of Aladin in the last 24 hours, and it was a side she had never seen before.
Aladin wanted Laura to meet his boss at the gym, but she was worried because there were so many rules and regulations she had to follow given she's a woman.
Laura didn't know whether she could be herself or had to be the woman Aladin wanted her to be.
The meeting, however, went well and Laura gave the man a firm handshake.
But then Aladin's boss revealed a man could marry up to four ladies legally. The men didn't even have to tell their wives if they had other wives. Laura was shocked to hear about this and wondered why Aladin had never brought this information to her attention.
"Maybe it's totally justifiable in Aladin's head that he can do this [and have multiple wives]. I want to really make sure he's the man that I thought he was," Laura said in a confessional.
DEAVAN and JIHOON
Deavan and Jihoon's baby was due in two weeks and Jihoon had already booked his flight for her scheduled C-section; however, she had some heavy news to break to her fiance after visiting with her doctor.Deavan revealed her blood pressure was really high, in the 170s, which was "extremely dangerous."

Her baby's blood pressure apparently shot up to 200 and so the surgery needed to be done early in order to avoid one of them having a stroke.

Deavan asked Jihoon to fly back to the United States earlier, but he admitted it was expensive and he'd lose his money from the first ticket.
Jihoon therefore refused to purchase a new ticket, which frustrated Deavan because she had previously asked him not to buy a ticket at all in case the baby came early.
Deavan was upset because Jihoon was going to miss the birth of their son. She expected him to be there for such a huge moment in her life and therefore began to question his commitment to their relationship.
KARINE and PAUL
Karine and Paul had been staying at Karine's parents house temporarily, but they decided to hire a real estate agent to look for a place of their own.Paul planned to raise their baby in Tonantins, Brazil, but the possibility of being deported still loomed over his head.
Paul, however, was waiting for the results of the appeal his lawyer had filed.
Karine and Paul disagreed over apartments because Karine wanted the cheaper apartment that cost $200 a month to rent, while Paul wanted the nicer place that would run them over $1,000 a month in U.S. dollars.
Karine told Paul he didn't have a job and might get deported so they needed to be careful with their money. She was annoyed how Paul always needed to get his way and do things his way.
Karine told Paul to go back to America, and then Paul accused her of wanting a divorce. Karine said Paul was all about "drama, drama, drama."

"He doesn't want to change but he needs to grow up now that he's going to be a dad," Karine told the cameras.
Paul said things were tense in Karine's parents' household, especially because her mother didn't like it when Paul called Karine out on his concerns and doubts.
Karine's mother said Paul treated Karine badly and was disrespecting her by asking for a DNA test for the baby.
Paul, however, said the embassy would require a DNA test when requesting citizenship for a child. In the beginning, Paul had questions about the paternity of the baby, but he no longer had those suspicions.
Karine didn't believe Paul's motive for the test, but Paul insisted it was part of the immigration process.
When Paul was using Karine's phone to translate, a text message suddenly popped up in which Karine was talking to an American man in English.
Paul demanded to know who the guy was, but Karine just told Paul to "stop." She called the mystery man "some guy," but Paul wasn't okay with that. Karine later told the cameras the man was the son of a woman who helps her by sending money.
"My relationship with him is basically like a friend or like a brother. It's nothing romantic like Paul thinks," Karine explained.
Paul admitted they'd have trust issues as long as Karine continued to talk to other men and maybe a baby paternity test was necessary after all. Paul told Karine that he didn't appreciate what she was doing.
COREY and EVELIN
Corey had moved to Ecuador about a month ago, but he knew Evelin wouldn't marry him unless he adjusted to life there well and proved he wanted to be there.Corey therefore interacted with the locals more, but he heard a group of guys talking about him and calling him the name of Evelin's ex-boyfriend.

Evelin said the locals thought Corey was her ex because they looked the same given they're both white, American men. Evelin said everyone in Engabao loved her ex because he was very smart and funny.
Evelin then revealed when she and Corey were on a break, her ex showed up and she had "made a mistake with him." Evelin was not proud of her past, and so she didn't want Corey to bring it up again.
Evelin admitted to Corey she was still friends with her ex, who were together for two years, but Corey didn't like it.
Corey said Evelin didn't consider her behavior cheating but he didn't want space from her at the time -- only she wanted space.
Corey told Evelin it wasn't healthy to be friends with her ex because he knew what the guy's intentions were. Corey had difficulty leaving Evelin's history in the past, but he promised Evelin they would move forward and stop mentioning her ex.
Corey decided to drop the issue because he was running out of time. He only had 60 days left to propose to Evelin, get married and apply for citizenship before his Tourist Visa ran out.
