It was supposed to be a beautiful California celebration. Instead, Shawn Finch and Alliya de Batista’s wedding left 90 Day Fiancé fans baffled, heated, and in some cases, furious.
The couple, who first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise, had everything set for a perfect day: an elegant venue, supportive family, and even Shawn’s dog Maxwell in attendance. But when Alliya showed up almost two hours late for the ceremony, the mood went from romantic to resentful.
“That dress is for a honeymoon NOT a wedding, 2 hrs late??? lol 😝 I wouldn’t be there waiting.”
As footage aired of guests melting in 100-degree heat while waiting for the bride, reactions rolled in fast. What followed was a ceremony that barely lasted a few minutes, an insult-filled toast, and a day that looked more like a red flag than a fairytale.
Alliya’s tardiness left 90 Day Fiancé fans and guests sweltering
For Shawn, the wedding day didn’t just come with nerves; it came with dread. His fears that Alliya might not be on time were unfortunately spot on. While she was scheduled to get ready onsite for their 5 p.m. ceremony, Alliya took her time getting her hair and makeup done, ignoring the urgency of a crowd waiting outdoors in scorching heat.
She eventually arrived at 6:50 p.m., just shy of two hours late. By then, 90 Day Fiancé star Shawn wasn’t the only one upset. Fans took to social media to express their frustration:
“This is a horrible outcome. To be 2 hours late to an outdoor wedding in 100+ temps is unforgivable. I would have kept walking after turning down the wedding ceremony. That is the epitome of selfishness, narcissism & stupidity.”
The vibe was tense, and understandably so. A day built up to celebrate love ended up becoming a case study in how not to do a wedding.
The rushed ceremony felt cold and awkward
With guests drained and Shawn fuming, the ceremony began, but blink and you might’ve missed it. What should’ve been a heartfelt exchange of vows was reduced to a few sentences, per Shawn’s order to keep things moving.
“Welcome to citizenship,”
someone who sounded like Shawn snapped when a guest questioned the ceremony’s length. The bitterness wasn’t subtle, and even Alliya’s stunning bridal entrance couldn’t smooth things over.
“When there is only one person in the relationship, there is no RS. I agree, no empathy, no call to see how his mother was, what did she do for 2 hours?”
The 90 Day Fiancé wedding that had every element for success- emotion, design, support- was instead rushed and soured by tension that neither side could hide.
Jeanne’s injury added more strain to an already difficult day
As if the extreme heat and delays weren’t enough, Shawn’s mother, Jeanne, fell just before the ceremony and injured her hip and ankle. Despite being in visible pain, she insisted on staying for the ceremony. She sat through the wait with her leg elevated, determined not to leave.
It was a tough moment for Shawn, who was clearly concerned for his mom but also overwhelmed by the situation unraveling around him. As one fan pointed out,
“It’s important to think of how our actions impact others too … leaving elderly people to sit in 100 degree weather for hours isn’t safe for them.”
What could’ve been a beautiful and emotional day was overshadowed by logistical missteps and a sense that the bride’s lateness wasn’t just inconsiderate, but harmful.
90 Day Fiancé fans aren’t holding back
The internet has been buzzing with reactions, and most of them aren’t exactly forgiving. The overwhelming sentiment is that while love stories can have bumps, this one might’ve veered too far off track.
