Her wedding day is fast approaching, but 90 Day Fiancé’s Liz Wood is fighting to get her family to accept “Big” Ed Brown in dramatic scenes, in which her own mother admits she would “never” tolerate his behavior. .
In a preview clip shared exclusively with DailyMail.com, an excited Liz, 31, searches for a wedding dress with her mother, Patty, and grandmother, Lavina, who, unbeknownst to her, are sitting furiously expressing your concerns.
Liz, who last month hinted she had split from Big Ed, 58, for the 14th time, has been desperately trying to convince them he makes her happy.
Speaking in her confessional, Liz admits: “My family is wary of me marrying Ed, and my mother isn’t a big fan of Ed, especially since the engagement party.

The couple, who first met in 2021, will get married in 90 days in upcoming scenes.
‘And she doesn’t like the way Ed treated me in the past, so I need my family to be able to see what I see in Ed. Why it makes me happy.’
But Liz’s family will need to be convinced as her mother is “still undecided.”
Speaking in her confessional, Liz’s mother, standing next to her grandmother, says: ‘Our priority for her is her happiness. I see things that perhaps for me she would never have tolerated.
‘My daughter can’t stand much, but she can stand a lot of him because she is more willing to give him a chance than I am.
But she needs to be happy. “She deserves to be happy.”
Liz and Big Ed’s engagement party ended in disaster last year after he accused Liz of having an intimate relationship with one of her lesbian friends.
At that point, Liz snuck out of the celebratory event with her heels split in two as she declared she was “over” the relationship.
On top of that, she previously complained about her fiancé’s childish behavior, which is addressed in the preview clip.
But Liz’s mother Patty is struggling to come to terms with ‘Big’ Ed’s behaviour, as shown in an exclusive sneak peek shared with DailyMail.com.
Speaking in a family confessional, Liz’s mother (pictured right with her grandmother Lavina) says of Ed: “I see things that maybe for me I would never have tolerated.”

Liz, 31, knows she has her work cut out for her, saying: “My family is wary of me marrying Ed, and my mum isn’t a big fan of Ed, especially since the engagement party.”
In a flashback from early in the series, a frustrated Liz can be seen calling her mother to rant about her frustrations with her future husband.
“He’s not listening,” she says. ‘He comes in and talks to me. He asks me how I feel. He immediately shuts me down. He never lets me talk.
His mother responds, “If he’s going to keep acting this way, flip the switch and walk away, he needs to step up and be a man instead of a jerk.”
In February, Liz appeared to confirm on social media that she had ended her relationship with Big Ed.
In a cryptic Instagram story, she posted a series of images with a mystery man, including one that showed his arms around her waist.
“I hope this mother knows that her son is taking good care of someone’s daughter,” she wrote.
It came a month after Big Ed hinted that he had met a new woman.
“Well, I met someone and she went out for New Year’s,” he told People. “But that’s silence.”
Ed, 58, and Liz have faced many obstacles in their on-again, off-again relationship over the past year.
Liz and Big Ed met in early 2021 when he walked into the San Diego restaurant where she worked.
The couple began dating soon after, with their romance documented on 90 Day: The Single Life, a TLC series that followed former 90 Day stars as they once again tried to find love.
The couple split later that year, with Ed telling People that “the timing wasn’t right and it was rushed.”
However, Ed and Liz soon reconciled after the death of their beloved dog Teddy in August, before announcing their engagement in November 2021.
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? continues Sunday at 8 pm ET/PT on TLC.
