One sister said, "It's survival of the fittest, there is no advice!"
Erin chimed in and said, "I think you will be shocked [with marriage]. You've been living with your sisters for 20 years, it's [been] great, like college years all of your life but then you move in with your husband and it's so quit."
During a roll in testimonial clip, Erin also shared that she destroyed so many home cooked meals when she first got married. Kelly Jo recalled being a cleaning addict.
When they went back to their intimate beach time, the loving mother told Tori it'll be fun to be a "little housewife, mom."
"She's not a mom yet, but will be soon," one sister teased.
Tori then told the ladies that she and her fiancé, Bobby, found a 900-square-foot apartment.
Kelly Jo joked that she will throw a party at Tori's place once they return from the honeymoon.
The rest of the episode featured exclusive behind the scenes footage of the TV crew as well as Bobby moving into the apartment before the wedding.
