2106 - 90 Day Fiance (s12e15) "It's Better to Bend Than Break" with Kimberly

Author: Pink Shade August 18, 2026 Duration: 1:33:48
Mary Payne and Kimberly chat about the latest 90 Day Fiance cast gossip and then we break down the latest episode of 90 Day Fiance (s12e15) "It's Better to Bend Than Break". Catie is a Bridezilla and jokes that her vows will include "I won't take another lover," which is obviously hilarious. Debby was worried that her golden child, Caden, wouldn't come to the wedding but he finally showed up! Caden is not impressed with Mido and/or his jokes, and we agree. Marissa and Edward continue their argument in a restaurant and they just need a mediator to help with their issues. Mallorie takes Rasit on a boat ride and tells him she won't make him sign a pre-nup if he stops pressuring her to have a baby. Thomas complains to his friend that Paula doesn't really know him. Paula tries on wedding dresses with her family and worries about disappointing them if she calls off the wedding. Shea and Annabelle head to Gatlinburg for their wedding and his daughters arrive to ask about his will. Happy Wedding!
