Ben's Side of the Story: "Outside Noise" and Sara's "Tough Spot" Before the Altar

He told his buddies that Sara was facing "challenges due to external factors" aka the internet dragging his name through the mud.
To his credit Ben acknowledged that Sara was dealing with a lot and had a big decision to make about their relationship. He seemed weirdly grateful that she was at least talking to him about it. He even reassured his friends that social media wouldn't "impact their lives" which is pretty rich considering it was very much impacting his potential marriage.
