Below is what happened on Episode 18, the season finale, of 90 Day Fiance's tenth season.
ASHLEY and MANUEL
Ashley and Manuel were getting ready for their wedding day in Florida, but the pair had heard a storm -- and possible hurricane -- was brewing. Since Ashley and Manuel were going to tie the knot outdoors on a beach, Ashley was naturally worried and nervous.Since Ashley and Manuel had come such a long way, Ashley was afraid her big day was going to be ruined. She didn't want to move the wedding ceremony's location just in case it ended up showering instead of pouring.
Ashley therefore took out some tarot cards to try to predict what was going to happen that day, and she discovered that "a little bit of chaos" was going to surround her wedding and there was nothing she could do about it.
Ashley said she felt like a princess in her wedding dress, and her mother assured her that everything was going to be fine. But on the drive over to the beach, Ashley had a panic attack when seeing the dark clouds roll in.

Ashley could barely breathe in the passenger seat of the car, and she started to melt down and cry.
Ashley was able to compose herself before arriving at her wedding destination, and while it did rain that afternoon, it was only a sprinkle and didn't have a negative effect on the wedding.

Manuel cried when he saw his bride, and in his vows, he swore to be with Ashley forever and grow old with her.
Manuel promised to protect and take care of Ashley, and she in turn, said how she had loved Manuel for a long time.
Ashley told Manuel that she respected, loved and adored him, and that she couldn't wait to make new memories with him and have a beautiful life together.
NIKKI and JUSTIN
Nikki was shown panicking ahead of an interview with 90 Day Fiance producers. She burst into tears and questioned how Justin could do that to her.An onscreen graphic read, "Two weeks after Nikki returned from Moldova, she arrived to do an interview. While there, she received a text from Justin."

"I can't get over this one," Nikki lamented in tears.
90 Day Fiance producers asked Nikki if she wanted to leave, but she apparently wanted to tell her side of the story given fans are invested in her relationship with Justin.
When asked why she was so frazzled, Nikki explained how a big fight one week prior resulted in the pair not speaking. But since they argued a lot and went without speaking for brief amounts of time fairly often, Nikki thought everything was going to be okay.
"He hasn't really had a job and worked, so I have been supporting him throughout this whole time," Nikki revealed.
"His car broke down and I sent him money... I was just like, 'Listen, for me, I feel like you're using me.' I went off from zero to 2,000, but I guess because I didn't squash it and fix the situation in that moment, he just had it with me and our fights."
Justin texted Nikki that he wanted to discuss something important with her that she needed to take very seriously.
"I have come to a sad conclusion that our relationship cannot continue. I compromise and I sacrifice my own interests, shocking my parents and everyone around me -- including my status and my dignity," Justin wrote to her.
"However, continuing this matter is no longer possible for me. I realize that I need to take control of my life and rectify the situation. May you find a path to a worthy life filled with love and mutual attachment. Farewell, and I wish you all the best."

Nikki couldn't believe Justin had broken up with her via text after all the time, money, heart and soul she had invested in him and their long-distance romance.
"I am so beyond broken right now. I never expected this would happen, as I was planning my future with him. I don't know how I'm going to get over this... I wanted a fairytale ending," Nikki lamented.
Nikki thought she deserved an in-person conversation in Moldova or at least a phone conversation considering the couple had been dating on and off for 17 years.

Nikki sobbed and cried on-camera and then cut her interview short.
Nikki's mother was shocked about the breakup, and she eventually tried to get her devastated daughter out of bed. Nikki was clearly wrecked from the split, and she couldn't stop crying.
Nikki, however, hadn't canceled the K-1 visa in case Justin was going to change her mind. She didn't think Justin ever really loved her, but she still had hope in her heart.
Nikki's mom just hoped her daughter could rebuild her life and find some peace and closure.
CLAYTON and ANALI
Clayton was shown waiting at the altar for Anali. Because she was so late, Clayton, his sister Brandi and all the guests began wondering if Anali was going to be a no-show bride.Clayton said if Anali didn't marry him, it would be devastating and embarrassing.
However, Anali ended up walking down the aisle in her off-the-shoulder lace gown and veil, and she had a smile on her face. Anali's mother had apparently changed her mind about dumping Clayton and returning to Peru.
"I want Clayton to realize this is real and not to have doubts, because I think jealousy comes from his doubts," Anali explained to the 90 Day Fiance cameras 90 minutes before her wedding.
"I really do want to be with him, and this is all serious. Even the most hardest moments can be worked out... I don't know if I'm making the right choice to live this adventure with Clayton. I feel so many emotions, it's hard to explain."

When Clayton saw his bride, he flashed a huge smile and started to cry tears of joy -- and probably relief!

When the pair joined at the altar, Anali could tell there was so much joy and happiness on Clayton's face, and so, in that moment, she was convinced she had made the right choice.
Clayton and Anali then exchanged vows. Anali promised to be a faithful wife who would be by Clayton's side for every step of the way, and Clayton vowed to be with Anali for richer or poorer, sickness or health until death parts them.
At the wedding reception, Brandi said she loved Anali, who called Brandi her "crazy sister." Brandi said she was glad a stripper didn't break up her brother's relationship "yet."
Clayton also surprised Anali by performing a traditional Peruvian dance, and Anali thought the gesture was extremely sweet and thoughtful. He was trying to bring a little piece of her home to his bride.
Clayton's mother, meanwhile, planned to move out of his house, and she was confident that she'd be just fine.
After tying the knot, Anali finally came clean to her father via Zoom that she had married Clayton. She first called Clayton her "boyfriend," and then she progressed to finally admitting that she was a married woman.
"No, daughter, how can you say that?" Anali's father asked, wiping tears from his eyes.
Anali's father got to see and meet Clayton through the Zoom chat, but appeared totally shocked and started to cry. Anali said the only time she ever saw her father cry was when his mother died, and so she was well aware that she had completely crushed him.
Anali felt a mixture of sadness and relief, but there was a big part of her that was happy to have Clayton -- her "little hamster" -- in her life.
CITRA and SAM
Citra and Sam said they didn't consummate their marriage on their wedding night because Citra was afraid to sleep in a farmhouse due to potential ghosts or serial killers being around.Sam was therefore forced to sleep in the same room as Citra's sisters and father Herman. Sam was clearly disappointed, but he anticipated having some time alone with Citra soon.

It was hard for Citra's family to leave, and Sam was stressing about how to make Citra feel safe when he wasn't sure yet if he was going to do jail time.

Once Citra's family left, Sam decorated his bed with rose petals, and Citra kept repeating how she wanted to spank his ass. It appeared the couple finally had time to be intimate.
After their first sexual encounter and a good night sleep, Sam revealed that he saw a different side of Citra, who shared how the experience "happened so quickly." Sam admitted there was "a buildup" leading up to that encounter and so he needed to "last longer" in the future.
Sam and Citra had sex for the first time in his laundry room because Sam's dogs kept interrupting them in his bed.
"We got naked real quick [in there], and it wasn't bad," Sam noted to his new wife. "I went slow and easy because I'm a good guy, but you were acting like a pro!"
"Maybe I can be his own personal corn star -- [yes], corn star, because I am corny!" Citra quipped.
Sam was praying he didn't have to go to jail because he didn't want to lose Citra. Citra, however, assured Sam that she would wait for him, even if he had to go to jail for two years. She asked him to think positively because she'd stay with him no matter what.
Two days later, Sam resubmitted his drug diversion paperwork to court.
ROB and SOPHIE
The night before Rob and Sophie's wedding, they checked into a hotel. Sophie was still trying to get over Rob cheating on her, and he was nervous about how their future was going to be together."There are a few things I would've like to have seen from Rob before I marry him. Trust is earned. I can't snap my fingers and say, 'Yes, I 100 percent trust him...' but I think I trust that I'm going to be able to get to a place where I can trust him," Sophie explained to the 90 Day Fiance cameras.

Rob also wished he had more time to "feel" Sophie out; however, he told Sophie that she was The One for him and he was excited to spend the rest of his life with her.
It then became time for Rob and Sophie's beach wedding. Sophie woke up that morning with a sore throat and she didn't feel well, but she had her mother Claire and a friend to help her get ready.
"What if this is a sign? But I'm 90-something percent sure this is right, so I'm just going to listen to that," Sophie noted.
Claire still had reservations about Rob and how he'd be as a husband, but Claire had already made her mind up. She also felt beautiful in her knee-length wedding dress and pink flower crown.
Sophie was a little late because she couldn't find the opening to the beach, where the ceremony was being held, but when she and Rob finally reunited under an archway of flowers on the beach, they were all smiles.
Sophie couldn't believe that Rob had cried during the ceremony, but Rob admitted he felt overwhelmed to think about how Sophie was his bride and his wife.
Claire said it was a perfect day and she was thrilled for her daughter, but Claire admitted it was going to be hard to not have her daughter all to herself anymore.
"We chose us over the issues and the problems. 90 days was hard, but it was not enough to break us up," Sophie concluded.
