Second time’s the charm! 90 Day Fiancé star Ed “Big Ed” Brown married Elizabeth “Liz” Woodsin August 2023 after two years of dating and lots of drama that included a brief breakup.

The couple then appeared on 90 Day: The Last Resort in August 2023 as a last-ditch effort to work through their issues in couples’ therapy — and it seems to have worked.

She Said “Yes”
Liz shared a sweet tribute to her future husband shortly after they announced their engagement in November 2021. The couple would later reveal that their engagement happened that August.
“We are not perfect by any means. Passing by all the bulls–t with the many breakups, I am forever grateful to be called yours. I am your forever and you are mine. If I could give you my vows today I would, but our timing needs to be right,” she wrote via Instagram on November 12. “I will forever be by your side. I have never felt love, comfort, support, and encouragement the way you have given your heart and love to myself and my daughter. 6 months of separation changed us, not for worse but for better. What a year we have had. We had one hell of a rough patch and somehow in gods hands we ended back together. I promise to do my best to never disappoint you, be by your side, and support us in both our crazy decisions, and we are crazy. You make me whole. I love you. TO FOREVER! ❤️ August 29th at 3:30 in the morning! I’ll never forget your proposal and I’ll never forget my attitude and completely shocked 😆 !!!!!!! Yessssss!!!! I will marry you….. @thisisbiged.”

Engagement Party Woes
During season 7, Liz and Ed celebrated their August 2021 engagement with a party sometime that fall. However, the evening ended with Ed accusing Liz of having a previous relationship with one of her female coworkers.
“I see a friend of Liz grab her by the arm,” Ed said during the October 2022 episode. “I know her. She’s a lesbian, and this looks like an emotional fight — the way that people who have been intimate look at each other. I’m shocked.”
When Ed confronted Liz about the situation, she told him, “f—k yourself” before angrily leaving the building and throwing her engagement ring in a bush.
