Adnan and Tigerlily

Warning! The following contains spoilers for the 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days episode “Sound and the Fury.” Stream it with a Max subscription, or watch it on TLC.

Tigerlily Taylor and Adnan Abdelfattah have been on my radar since 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days Season 7 officially kicked off. Beyond the age of Adnan, who’s 20 years younger than his fiancé, it seemed the TLC franchise was repeating a story we’ve seen more often than I’d like to acknowledge. I hoped this time it wouldn’t play out like previous storylines, but I was let down by the latest episode hitting the 2024 TV schedule.

I guess if this season was going to blindside me with the wild vampire and cannibal talking happening with Chidi and Rayne, it’s fair game that Tigerlily and Adnan’s Day one wedding play out exactly as I’ve expected it to thus far. I’ll break it down for readers who missed out, complete with the humble request for TLC to stop highlighting and exploiting these types of couples.

Tigerlily Was Shocked By Adnan’s Treatment Of Her After Arriving In Jordan

Tigerlily was preparing for her marriage to Adnan, which was scheduled not long after she arrived in Jordan. Tigerlily immediately felt blindsided by the news that their marriage would not be a private ceremony and that he hadn’t told her. While not a dealbreaker, she didn’t appreciate not knowing his entire family would be there, while she had only brought a couple of friends for the trip.

The problems kicked off, however, when Tigerlily went to get her hair done before meeting everyone. Adnan was upset because she had a male hairstylist, which he did not approve of. He also didn’t like how much time it was taking to get her hair fixed, so he started a timer on his phone and started hounding her to wrap it up while pointing to the timer.

As one would expect, Tigerlily didn’t like the way he was hounding her. The 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days cast member had divorced her previous husband for being too controlling, and it remains to be seen if this 90 Day couple will split after marriage. For those wondering if the two even make it down the aisle, this video from Adnan’s Instagram page does kind of spoil one part of the storyline:

The marriage might’ve gone through, but I can’t help but think there are some serious compatibility issues that need to be addressed. The most frustrating thing about this is that we see it so often in 90 Day Fiancé, specifically when it comes to American women going to the Middle East, that I really wish the franchise would stop highlighting it.
