Marissa from 90 Day Fiance comes from a wealthy background. But it wasn’t always that way. Her mom wasn’t rich at first. Things changed when she got with a well-off man. He was the former CEO of David’s Bridal. After that, the family’s lifestyle changed completely. They now live in a $5 million mansion. Her mom and stepdad are part of New York’s socialite circle. They also collect art and do charity work.
Fans started digging into this background. They think Marissa’s success came easily because of her connections. Her job at Kleinfeld? Fans believe her stepdad’s links to the wedding dress industry helped her land it. Many are calling her spoiled and not self-made. Professional doors opened for her easily. Some fans think she did her best with her family’s influences; others sympathize with her.
Edward finally meets Marissa’s mother, Joann. The 90 Day Fiance star seems relaxed, ready for the family meet-up. It’s important to Marissa that Joann likes Edward as a person and as her partner. Joann seems pretty direct and simply asks why Edward likes her daughter. He doesn’t take time to think and answers from his heart. Edward lists loyalty, respect, and honesty as things that he looks for in his relationships. He doesn’t like dishonesty at all.
Edward likes Marissa as she ticks all the boxes. He prioritizes these after finding all the fine qualities in Marissa. He knows that his personality was influenced by Marissa, who possesses all the qualities. Joann patiently listens to him and simply nods. Marissa feels his answer does not please his mother. He sounds too macho and only lists things he wants in a partner. Technically, he does not answer Joann’s question. He doesn’t list all the wonderful qualities Marissa has – like her caring nature or a beautiful heart.
Joann has the right to know Edward’s intentions regarding Marissa. But fans think the whole conversation sounded more like an interrogation, as if Edward were being interviewed. Additionally, this did not sound like a get-to-know-you session at all. Others think Edward answered it well, even after Marissa showed her control-freak side and let her son disrespect Edward. But will Joann approve of Edward? That’s the real question. For more updates, follow TV Season & Spoilers.
