The groom started his grand gesture by ripping a rose out of the garden, before telling the group he was waiting for the right moment to grab his wife.
"I'm kinda nervous ay, I'm nervous," he told the group before going over to approach Sam.
Al was nervous as he waited for the right moment to read Sam his poem. Nine
Al told the camera they haven't really spoken much throughout the retreat and things aren't going well.
"I feel like she's really disconnected from me at the moment and her writing 'leave' at the Commitment Ceremony has killed my confidence a little bit," he said.
"If I give up now, then I haven't given my 100 per cent and I did say in my vows that I would give my 100 per cent."

After waiting for the right moment Al grabbed Samantha for her chat, which he felt was his "last chance" to win her back.
"This is a symbol of new beginnings," he said, before the groom pulled a rose out from behind his back.
Al read his heartfelt, and rhyming, words out to his wife. Nine
Sam sat down and Al explained he wrote the poem last night when he couldn't sleep.
"I hope it means something to her because it really did mean a lot to me," he told the camera.
Here's the poem Al read to Samantha:
Dear Samantha, my beautiful wife,
I want to see you in my life.
It makes me sad, seeing that I let you down,
I hope this week, I can turn that around.
The conversations that we have from now on,
Will be in more detail and I will make sure, I will not fail.
You really are the apple of my eye,
And it was really hard to see you cry
I will also take John's advice and learn to grow up,
Also learn not to drink from a shoe, and instead, from a cup.
I will always cherish the memories we've been through together,
If things don't work out, at least we'll be friends forever.
Al's poem definitely warmed things up between him and Sam. Nine
"That's cute," Sam giggled after he finished.
"Did you like that?" Al asked, clearly proud of his efforts.
Sam told him it was "sweet" and the pair had a really nice conversation afterwards, where Al reassured her that he wants to try harder for their relationship. You can watch the full moment above.
