Nick was engaged? Why don't I remember that?     Could it be because I just got done cooking and cleaning up after myself all day long, for an upcoming party?? I am exhausted and brain dead!

BTW, the weather in southern California is kind of cloudy and cool (for us!) the past couple of days. So the summer comment fits LA too if he really is staying there.

No doubt Bella met Nick's former fiancé, and that ended badly, so this wasn't a first. He, and his other single siblings no doubt will continue to bring their current love interests home whenever they feel they want to.  At some point, each of their interests will become their future spouse but until then it is just an introduction. 

The show makes into something bigger than it really needs to be.  Typically 3 people are bringing home a lead that will never been seen again except on tv.

I usually like the HTDs best.  It's fun seeing the guys/gals with their loved ones.  I just loved Kaitlyn's mom and the firecracker onsie.  Best scene ever!  Agree, Nick's fam really appeared open and sincere.  Of course, other families have as well or the main take way is sometimes their sense of humor.

The family has been through it once now and I'll be interested to see how they "play" the HTD if there is one.  I actually hope and expect that they may "protect" Bella this round around and not allow her to be highlighted.  It's a lot for a young girl; fool me once shame on you, food me twice shame on me...

Along those lines, it was interesting to me that Mesnick kept Ty away from the cameras at his wedding, when he had formerly appeared on his season of the Bach and Bach'ette.  I vaguely recall Ty crying a lot and I can't imagine that would have played too well with the kids in school.  Maybe Jason learned a lesson about the media and felt like keeping him off camera was the best thing to do.

Bella was so poised, I can't see anyone making fun of her, but I imagine it would be equally hurtful if anyone made fun of Nick for whatever reason.

Jason's ex and him agreed Ty wouldn't be on the wedding special, mainly his ex's wishes from what I remember.

I think it's easier to have Bella appear because she's older and understands things better than say a 3-5 year old. Plus she's just the sister and not Nick's child.

It's such a relief to know that there are people that can see the truth and see the real Niicholas. As his mom it's been very heart breaking to see how he is painted through music and editing to be someone he is not. It is refreshing to know that people can see through that to the Nicholas we know and love.

  If Nick gets a hometown date or beyond, I hope dear mom Mary won't need to write another Facebook post like this one.
