Why did Paula and Thomas fight before their wedding?

The argument started when Thomas insisted the couple ride his bike to the restaurant to save money on parking rather than drive. Paula, wearing a dress with her hair and makeup done, said she was uncomfortable on the bike and that her appearance was ruined.

At the restaurant, she told Thomas she likes adventure but wanted to feel like an adult that night. Thomas smirked and corrected her when she asked if saving $12 on parking was worth it, noting they actually saved $20. Paula grew emotional, saying she felt like she was losing herself and that Thomas was imposing his cheap lifestyle on her.

When she told him she was thinking about going back to Brazil with her visiting family, Thomas said he wanted to hear she was excited to marry him—not threatening to leave. He added that she just needed a new challenge and called her reactions the "easiest knee-jerk" response.

A fed-up Paula switched to Portuguese and unleashed a string of insults. "You are so annoying," she told him. "You're a son of a bitch. You're so f–king annoying." Thomas stayed silent as she berated him, then asked whether they were breaking up.

Paula shed tears over her doubts about marrying Thomas. She told producers, "I love Tom, but the problem is being stuck unhappy, being stuck in a situation that I don't want to be." Thomas asked, "I don't know, are we still doing this?" She replied, "No. I can't, I can't. This is too much."
