10 Fans Remember Geoffrey Paschel's Appearance On '90 Day Fiancé'
Fans remember the days when Geoffrey Paschel appeared on 90 Day Fiancé and was involved in a dramatic tug-of war between two women. He created a bit of a love triangle between himself, a lady named Varya, and his friend, Mary. At one point during the show, Geoffrey fell in love with a Russian woman named Varya and excitedly proposed to her.
Varya felt that this relationship was moving too quickly and rejected the relationship, requesting a slower pace. She ended up changing her mind and wanting to re-visit his proposal, but by that time, Geoffrey claimed he had feelings for his friend, Mary. There was a lot of back and forth between the three of them, and eventually Geoffrey went on to explore other relationships.

One of his relationships resulted in an engagement to a lady by the name of Kristen Wilson.

This was not the first time this happened. It was just the first time she was able to muster up enough strength to seize the opportunity to flee.
