Below is what happened on Episode 11 of 90 Day Fiance's eleventh season.
STEVI and MAHDI
Stevi was shown gushing about her engagement ring but giving Mahdi a hard time for taking so long to give it to her.Mahdi still wanted to move up the couple's wedding so he could begin working as soon as possible.

Stevi's father was sick, and so Stevi knew that her dad wanted to give her away to someone who will take care of her forever.
"I don't think I could get married if dad wasn't walking me down the aisle," Stevi admitted.
Stevi and Mahdi therefore visited Stevi's father, and she revealed how Mahdi had officially proposed marriage to her. Mahdi said he planned to prove to Mahdi that he was going to stick around and be a lifelong partner to her.
Stevi's father was still skeptical of the pair's relationship, and he confessed, "I don't know [if getting married] is the best decision. I don't think it's been long enough."
Stevi's father was clearly concerned, but he wished the couple luck and agreed to walk Stevi down the aisle.
Stevi and Mahdi were therefore ready to begin wedding planning -- and they only had about two weeks to do it before Mahdi's K-1 visa was going to expire.
"I just hope nothing goes wrong because I'm the one who's moving everything up," Mahdi noted.

"She has never, ever mentioned that she has painted girls naked, in-person," Mahdi told the cameras.
"Stevi has never, ever kept anything from me. And knowing that she was with her friend naked, it just blows me mind. To be honest, she's giving me bisexual vibes again. Women being together is wrong in my culture, and I'm not okay with it."
Stevi and Mahdi decided on a venue, which Stevi said was "exciting," but Mahdi was clearly upset.
Stevi didn't think she had done anything wrong or given Mahdi a good reason to be upset. She didn't think she had given Mahdi any reason to question her sexuality or who she is as a person.
"You should've told me," Mahdi said.
"It's different from what you're used to, but it's normal for me... I don't keep secrets from you or hide anything behind your back," Stevi insisted.

Mahdi just wanted Stevi to be honest with him, but she asked him to stop asking her if she likes women.
"You always give me a fake answer," Mahdi said.
"That's your problem," Stevi replied.
Stevi refused to give Mahdi a straight answer about whether she liked girls, and then she ended the conversation abruptly.
Mahdi said he wanted to know what type of person he was marrying or else they'd need to postpone the wedding.

SHAWN and ALLIYA
Shawn and Alliya were heading up to north to Sonoma County for their engagement party (or meet and greet, for the people who weren't aware of his relationship). He shared how it was going to be a fancy and opulent day.Shawn predicted people were going to ask a lot of questions, and Shawn quipped to Alliya, "You're going to have a lot of explaining to do!"
Alliya didn't always understand Shawn's wit and dry sense of humor, but she loved him all the same.
Shekinah's sisters told Sarper that he'd have to learn how to grow with Shekinah, and the conversation was a little tense.
"Shekinah looks unhappy and I am on my own," Sarper said.
Shawn said he couldn't wait for Alliya to meet his mother at the California bash.
Alliya was sad Shawn's other loved ones didn't know about her already, and so it rubbed her the wrong way when he cracked jokes about the situation.
"I really expect him to speak up and show that he is proud of me and our relationship. I want something serious... and I want to get married. But I think that Shawn needs to show me more," Alliya told the cameras.
When Alliya met Shawn's mother Jeanne in-person for the first time, there were tears, smiles and big hugs. Alliya said Shawn's mother understood her and that she adored Jeanne.
Shawn admitted some of the people whom he thought were his friends had "strong opinions" about him dating a transgender person which is why he had decided to keep Alliya in a bubble.
Shawn also told his mother that he still had unanswered questions about his future with Alliya and so the idea of bringing in family and friends was "daunting" for him and he was "not looking forward to it."
Shawn said it was going to be a gender reveal and "coming out" party all at once.

One of Shawn's pals, however, was worried about how Alliya was still transitioning and her changes were very new. He thought Shawn might struggle being in a new marriage with so many unknowns and adjustments to come.
"If there was more time, I would be taking more time -- but there's not. So I just have to trust my instincts that we're going to be okay," Shawn explained in a confessional.
Shawn told his concerned pal, "I don't know how many changes I can take, but we're just rolling with the punches right now."
MATT, AMANI and ANY
Any had told Amani that she loved her more than Matt, and Amani waited a couple of days before sharing that news with Matt.Matt therefore felt lied to and betrayed, and he wasn't sure how to proceed in this complicated relationship.
Matt's good friend Eric advised his friend to "get right" with Amani before continuing on with this throuple. Eric didn't want to see Matt be a third wheel or be in the middle of jealousy between women.
"In the beginning, it was excited... I just feel like it's slowly getting away from me," Matt complained. "Those two seem like they have it figured out between each other, and I just don't with them yet."
Matt never imagined he could lose Amani to this, but he noted, "There is a sign that is possible."

Matt realized he wasn't crazy to be concerned, and he pointed out how this situation may not be healthy for him or Amani going forward.
When Amani spoke to Matt later on, Matt admitted he couldn't accept what just happened.

"Because we're more similar, I guess," Amani noted.
"So now that you've bonded with her, try to bring me in. Don't push me out," Matt replied.
Matt knew this throuple wasn't balanced and so it probably wouldn't work long-term. Matt needed to understand what was really going on in Any's heart, and so he asked Amani to help him get to the bottom of things.
Amani asked Matt to remember the good days, and she was upset he had "switched up on" her like that.
But Matt explained how he was ready to give Any the most important thing in his life: his family.
Matt said he had done and sacrificed so much to bring Any to the United States, but Amani assured her husband, "There is no relationship without you in it. I love you, baby."
"I need to know that you have my back in this," Matt said.
"Always," Amani promised.
"I'm asking for your help to get through to her," Matt noted.
SHEKINAH and SARPER
While out to lunch with Shekinah's sisters, Sarper had admitted that sometimes he wished "the old Shekinah" would come back because she was submissive and "obedient."ADVERTISEMENT
Sarper acknowledged he had been mean and rude to Shekinah and her family in the past but he was working to improve himself and become the best man possible for her.
Sarper survived the "cross examination" and "interrogation," but Shekinah's family wasn't sure if Sarper was being genuine and authentic. They hoped he was truly willing to relinquish some control and make some positive changes.
Shekinah pointed out how Sarper would have to prove himself over time, including if she could trust him and be loyal to her.
One week after returning home to Los Angeles from their trip to Montana, Shekinah told producers that she and Sarper had gotten into a big fight.
Shekinah shared audio recordings of the night, and Sarper could be heard calling Shekinah "useless" and telling her that he had a problem with her face.
"I worked all day and cooked you a meal and you said, 'F-ck you,' to me, and now you're leaving," Shekinah yelled.
"I really hate this life, and I'm going back to my country," Sarper shouted at his fiancee.
With 62 days left on his K-1 visa, Sarper was ready to give it all up.
Shekinah had accused Sarper of saying a list of things that bothered her, but Sarper didn't think that was fair. He said they were like two strangers living in one house.
Shekinah and Sarper weren't speaking, and Shekinah said it was so tense and awkward at home.
Shekinah claimed Sarper was being "an assh-le" to her when she had done so much to make him feel comfortable. She felt like Sarper didn't appreciate any of it.

GREG and JOAN
With 65 days to go until Joan's K-1 visa expiration date, Greg's mother Lucille complained about how Joan showered twice a day and used too much water.Lucille, however, was impressed by how clean Greg's bedroom had become, thanks to his fiancee.
Greg and Joan were ready to start planning their wedding.
Greg wanted to get married right at home, with chickens running around, but Lucille noted how they'd have to rent tents and a DJ for 75 people. Lucille knew she'd have to take care of all the plans.
Lucille therefore suggested the wedding should take place at a hall or function room, which would include cocktail, food, music, a cake and more.
"I think it's a little crazy. I do! We've talked about this multiple times," Greg shared.
Joan said she wanted a beautiful wedding but she'd rather save their money for an apartment or a house.
Greg had saved $5,000 for the wedding, but Lucille wasn't sure that would be enough. Greg also still had to pay his bride's dowry. Joan said Greg had to follow her Uganda culture or else they couldn't have a wedding.
In order to please Lucille, Greg and Joan checked out the venue, which turned out to be a lodge with a fireplace and mirrors on the ceiling. The couple was quoted just under $9,000.
Joan thought the venue was beautiful, but Greg told his mother that it was going to be a lot of money and he still needed a job.
Lucille asked Greg to pitch in $1,000 and then she said she and Greg's father would pay the rest.

"That's what families do. They give. They give back," Lucille said, before gushing about how she was always going to look out for her son.
"I want him to have a special day, and I want Joan to enjoy herself as well."
