Little People, Big World stars Amy Roloff and Chris Marek can’t wait for fans to see their fairytale wedding in Tuesday’s two-hour wedding special, Amy & Chris’s Happily Ever After, airing on TLC. While Roloff told PEOPLE the ceremony, held in August on Roloff Farms, “turned out perfectly,” if there was a chance to go back and do it all over, she would “focus more” on herself and her husband.ย
“Even though we had our family and friends and stuff like that [there], they’re there for us,” she said. “I don’t need to cater to that. I need to cater, probably, a little bit more to Chris and I.” Marek agreed he wished he had taken a little more time to relax before everything got started. “Amy did most of all the work, so there isn’t really anything that I had to do or would do differently, except that I regret that I didn’t get more time to relax before the ceremony,” he said.ย

Marek remembered “working up a sweat” getting everything ready for the ceremony, picking up items last minute and getting things set up on the farm until the very end. “The ceremony started at three. I wasn’t even able to get cleaned up and show up at the farm until two o’clock!” he revealed. “I still had to change into my suit, so I was pushing it.”
The most special moment for Roloff was walking through the barn door to see her father sitting there. “It was a warm afternoon and so he wasn’t sure whether he’d walk me down the full length or halfway [amid his recent health issues]. I looked at him sitting there, waiting for me to come to him,” she recalled. “Then when I met up with him, my eyes went directly to Chris and his handsomeness in that suit. It was like the people [around us] faded away.”
Roloff told PopCulture.com ahead of the special that she hopes to see her happily ever after with Marek following her 2016 divorce from ex-husband Matt Roloff will give people watching a new perspective on love. “I just hope that people see in a second relationship for me – and a first for him – that love comes at any point in your life,” she said. “You may be looking for it, you may not, but at least be open to it. Because it’s a wonderful thing when it comes into your life or comes back into your life.” Don’t miss the two-hour Little People, Big World special, Amy & Chris’s Happily Ever After, airing Tuesday, Nov. 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
