90 Day Fiance features Americans who have fallen in love with foreigners bringing their fiances to the United States on K-1 visas.

However, once the couple is in America together, the American must marry their overseas partner within the 90-day period allowed by the visa or the foreigner has to return to their home country.

Below is the latest on several of 90 Day Fiance's eighth-season couples based on the finale episode.

MIKE AND NATALIE

In April 2020, Mike and Natalie had reached the last day of her K-1 visa. The couple was preparing for their wedding ceremony, and Natalie said she didn't know how she was feeling.

"I feel like everything that could go wrong went wrong," Natalie admitted. "It's sad."


On Natalie's 90th day in the United States, Michael suddenly decided that he wanted to marry her after all. If Mike could have his way, he'd wait longer and get to know Natalie better -- but he didn't want to lose her and watch her fly back to the Ukraine.

Natalie had brought a white, simple dress with her from the Ukraine, and that's what she planned to wear for her backyard wedding.

Mike's neighbor Tamara helped Natalie get ready, and she was battling nerves and anxiety on what was supposed to be a very happy day.

"I'm so overwhelmed right now. Nothing could make me feel better except seeing Michael say, 'I do,'" Natalie told the cameras.

Natalie said she still loved Mike and wanted to marry him, but she just hoped for a happy day with no stress or pressure. Natalie insisted if Mike changed his mind about marrying her again, they'd be "done -- forever."


Natalie just hoped Mike wouldn't hurt her again.

"I wasn't sure if I was 100 percent ready to marry [Natalie]. I was just kind of having doubts, but at the end of the day, love is a strange thing," Mike told the cameras.

"Sometimes it [doesn't] make sense, and sometimes it does. The past few days have been difficult for me and Natalie, but we're out of time. Time is here. I'm looking at her in a beautiful dress and I'm nervous and I'm scared."

Mike and Natalie exchanged vows by the pond in Mike's backyard and both said, "I do."


Natalie said she was grateful Mike decided to give them a chance, and she felt blessed to have more time to work on their relationship in the United States.

Natalie gushed about finally having what she always wanted, and Mike's Uncle Beau noted the wedding was awesome and he felt so happy for the newly-married couple.

Mike looking forward to the future but said he and Natalie were going to do a little partying first.

"Babies are gonna be coming," Beau joked as Mike carried Natalie into their home.

ANDREW AND AMIRA

Andrew was shown going out to lunch with his mother Lori and sister Connie. Amira had decided not to fly to America, and so Andrew felt like his relationship was over. After all, Amira only had three days left on her K-1 visa.


Andrew's mother felt Amira had "bait and switched" her son. Since Amira spent 14 days in Serbia and then didn't get on her plane to the United States, Lori vented, "How dare you?"

Lori said she felt anger and frustration and her son deserved a lot more than an explanation like, "I had an anxiety attack." Lori acknowledged her son had invested two years into this relationship and it was a very unfortunate situation.

Andrew wished Amira had called her when she was feeling anxiety at the airport, and he accused her of not putting any effort into fixing their relationship and working things out.

"Her tone had shifted to one that was cold and distant, and I did my best to work past it. But ultimately, I should have seen the signs," Andrew explained in a confessional.

Andrew believed Amira's decision was "a culmination of many things," especially since they had a few arguments before she was scheduled to fly to America. Lori, however, didn't even believe that Amira actually had an anxiety attack.


Andrew was trying not to hold onto Amira and said he wasn't angry; however, he said he felt "a profound sense of defeat."

Andrew said if he and Amira still wanted to be together, he'd have to reapply for her K-1 visa and that would be too much. Andrew resigned himself to thinking he and Amira simply didn't have their chance to be happy.

Meanwhile, Amira was back in France after quarantining for two weeks in Serbia. Amira said she felt safer in her home country but felt "heartbroken" about the whole trip.

"I gave everything I had to that relationship. I did everything in my power to make it work, and in return, I'm just put in tough situations. Like, why?... I don't understand," Amira cried.

Amira called her trip to Serbia "a wake-up call" because she realized that she and Andrew were "not meant to be."

Amira said Andrew pressured her to have children "right away" and "that's not love."


Amira returned to her childhood home and said her relationship was over and she wouldn't be getting married. Amira's father Hamdi was apparently not surprised when he heard what happened because he had never trusted Andrew.

Amira said Hamdi was happy that no one was going to hurt his daughter anymore, but Amira couldn't believe things had ended up this way.

"I was supposed to be happy [with Andrew], and now it's over apparently," Amira said.

"I am in a rebuild process. I have to go back to my studies. I'm gonna finish my Bachelor degree, I'm gonna find a job, and I'm going to be an independent woman that doesn't have to rely on someone. And I'm gonna try to love myself again."

Amira added in a confessional, "And I don't want to talk to Andrew ever again. I am not willing to let him control me ever again!"

STEPHANIE AND HARRIS

When Stephanie got home from Belize, she said she breathed a sigh of relief after a tumultuous trip to Belize.

Stephanie was shown burning the K-1 visa paperwork she had planned to send in for Ryan.

"Goodbye Ryan, hello Harris!" Stephanie said.

Stephanie revealed Harris was ready to get married and really wanted to come to the United States on a K-1 visa.

But Stephanie still had doubts and concerns given he was living with Emma, the woman with whom he welcomed three children. Harris promised Stephanie that he and Emma were living in the same home just to co-parent their kids and nothing romantic was going on between them.

Stephanie said Emma had actually given her blessing and approval via text for Stephanie to be with Harris.


Just to make sure that both people were being honest and sincere, however, Stephanie decided to call Emma on FaceTime and talk to her face-to-face.

Stephanie asked Emma if she'd be okay with Harris moving to the United States away from his children, and Emma said she would support the move "100 percent" because Harris would be able to make a better life for his kids.

"I know he will not forget his kids here," Emma said.

"You know, sometimes in life, you think that is your partner but it's better as friends, and Harris and I are not together. We communicate more as friends and we are more happy together like that."

Stephanie was so pleased after her conversation with Emma and told Harris that they'd talk again soon.


"I love Harris. He is definitely the man that I've been looking for," Stephanie gushed. "So Harris and I are going to apply for the K-1 visa, and I think that he could be my happily-ever-after."

Harris told the cameras that he loved Stephanie and planned to take care of her forever. Harris said he felt special because Stephanie had given him "free money."

Although Harris knew his children would be hurt about him leaving Belize, he knew the move would benefit his whole family and their future.

JOVI AND YARA

Yara was shown getting ready for her wedding day and said she wasn't sure whether Jovi was ready to leave his old life behind and stop partying for her. Not only did she want a mature husband, but Jovi was also going to become a father.

A few hours from the wedding, Jovi came down with a case of jitters and wondered whether he was making the right decision.

Jovi and Yara had "a very intense two years," according to Jovi, which included a miscarriage. And Jovi insisted he was making changes in his life to prove how he was ready to be married with a child.

Jovi's mother Gwen said Jovi had always been "a mama's boy" and she was ready to give him to Yara and let Yara take care of him. Yara felt accepted and loved by Gwen, which was a great feeling since her own mother couldn't attend the wedding.

Yara was hoping Jovi would be the man he was promising her that he would be.

When Jovi saw Yara in her sparkly form-fitted wedding dress, he told her that she looked "amazing." Yara also thought Jovi looked great and noticed how he had a cute butt in his tuxedo.

Yara admitted in the limo she didn't feel ready to get married, but the ceremony was about to happen regardless.

"Even though I want Jovi to be a better husband, I still want him to be my husband," Yara admitted.


"I just hope Jovi is not lying and he will really do what he tells me, that he will be a man... I really hope he will change and he will be nice."

Jovi and Yara got married by an Elvis impersonator and the couple enjoyed a good laugh at the altar in their wedding chapel.

After exchanging vows and officially getting married, Yara gushed about feeling happy. Gwen also expressed pride in having a new daughter-in-law and grandchild on the way.

Yara wished her family could have been there, but she said it was nice to be around "the loving people" in Jovi's life such as his parents and friends.

"I understand it's my family too now," Yara noted.


Jovi said his next step would be to apply for Yara's Green Card and move her over to the United States permanently. He also looked forward to welcoming his baby.

But first, Jovi planned to spend a few extra days with Yara in Las Vegas to celebrate.

(After 90 Day Fiance's one-hour finale, the two-hour episode turned into 90 Day Fiance: Jovi and Yara's Baby Special. Check back with Reality TV World soon for a recap on Yara and Jovi's special).
