The look of disappointment, the frozen body language, and later, as the wedding progressed, actual tears — none of these were staged. Jamie said she was as upset as she seemed. "I had these expectations that I would have some sort of chemistry and some sort of romance and that's really far-fetched," she explained. "I mean, he was a complete stranger and it really kind of ruined ... not ruined, but definitely put a little damper on our wedding day, and it could have been just a fun day."
It's now a reaction that Jamie wishes she could take back. "And then sometimes, I've watched it back myself and I was like, 'Jeez Louise, Jamie!' I had really high expectations, really hard on my husband, but that's just because I really wanted it," she added. "I really wanted true love and marriage. And I wasn't sure if he was as serious as I was, and as committed as I was."
But Jamie is now glad that during the initial interview and questionnaire process that she had been open about her needs and her history. "If I had been hiding who I was to the experts, then I probably wouldn't be married right now, because they wouldn't have known to match me with someone that would be really loving and accepting of the fact that my mom and my background, I guess," Jamie explained, referring to her mother's addictions and the fact that she was the custodial parent of her siblings.
