Too long, actually. When Cherie realized that her proposal was not going down, she did it herself. Friends and family didn’t even know the pair had gotten engaged until the series aired.
The union will be bittersweet, since Chan’s mother cannot be there.
Cherie said, ‘My dream has always been to be with my mom walking down the hall and just thinking about it makes me very sad, you know?’
“Even if her mom can’t walk down the hall with her, I still want her to still be able to live and feel the moment,” Jessey added. – Even if she is not present, she will still be there with us when the time comes.

“It’s an impressive piece and I can see why they argued about it,” joked Cherie, adding that she didn’t even realize the rivalry was taking place.
