David, 31, says he's often misunderstood. He's looking for a strong woman, someone who's "there for the long haul".
What they really are, are two people who crave commitment. Will David be the calm to Alissa's storm?
Alissa stepped out in a gorgeous, sweeping white ball gown with a delicate tulle trim and matching veil.
The anxious bride had no idea what she was in for.
"This is happening. What the f--k am I doing?" she stressed on her big day.
'I've been through so much to the point where I really want this to work."
David looked extra dapper in a fitted black tux, paired with a crisp white shirt, bow tie and red orchid boutonnière.
'I'm definitely ready to leave the single life at home, I want the real deal," he said as he walked down the aisle.
Although she felt scared, Alissa took a deep breath as she walked down the aisle.
"It has to feel right, when I lock eyes with him, I'll know."
"You look stunning," admired David as the pair met for the first time.
Alissa's family however, had never seen her this nervous.
"If anyone in this room has a genuine reason why these two should not be joined in marriage, please speak now or forever hold your peace..." said the officiant.
Alissa broke the silence: "I'm really, really sorry but I don't think I can marry you."
Wait, what?!
"I completely understand," a shocked David whispered back.
Alissa smirked and pulled out her left hand: "Not until you get on one knee and propose to me first."
She got him good! As David let out a sigh of relief, Alissa's tune changed.
The bride held her stance, insisting he "got down on one knee".
"It's too late babe," he said. "I can't tell if you're being serious."
Oh she was dead serious and as the two went back and forth in the most awkward exchange.
How awkward? THIS awkward.
The room waited silently to see if David would obey...
David responded: "I can't lie, I will be forfeiting this arrangement if I just got down on one knee."
What is happening?!
"I honestly felt like walking off that altar," he said to cameras.
