First comes The Pods, then comes marriage.
Now that Love Is Blind UK is settled across the pond and out of The Pods, we’re one episode away from knowing which engaged couples will say their “I dos” at the wedding altar. Will it be everything we hoped for?
The original Love Is Blind became one of Netflix’s highest-rated series, with more than 30 million views per season. Like its US predecessor, Love Is Blind UK takes 30 single people and places them in rooms called “The Pods” which block a person’s view of the other. The two singles then get to know each other through extensive talks and they rotate throughout the day. Once they find their perfect match, one of them proposes—still unseen.
After the proposal, the couples meet face-to-face for the first time and go on vacation (In this case in the UK, it’s Corfu). They also move in together and meet each other’s families and it all boils down to whether or not they will confess their love for each other at an extravagant wedding.

They’ve hurdled through the biggest obstacles of meeting each other’s parents and knowing each other’s social media presence outside of The Pods. “I want to be your safe space to tell me anything that’s on your mind,” she tells him in the show. “You are an outstanding guy.”
Bobby and Jasmine truly seemed like they were made for each other after he rapped his proposal to her. With clear communication and care, it’s might seem like a perfect match. But it surprising to learn that the two don’t follow each other on Instagram. It’s unclear if they made it to the altar, so we can expect that they could be on good terms and we just don’t know it.

Ollie and Demi hit it right off in The Pods and they seem to be in good terms after the show since they still follow each other on Instagram. Demi and Ollie sparked up a genuine connection with each other. Demi opened up about her endometriosis while Ollie told Demi that he has ADHD after concealing it from a lot of people.
In the preview for the wedding episode, Demi reveals to her friends that she’s contemplating the wedding. “Is it an ‘I do,’ or is it an ‘I do, but not for now?’” she asks. Meanwhile, Ollie might have other feelings that don’t point in the direction of romantic as he might think that they’re better off as friends.

After being in a wonky love triangle, Tom proposed to Maria after he also had a sparkling connection with Natasha. Tom and Maria seemed to hit it off when they went to Corfu and brought the heat with all of their PDA.
In the wedding preview of the next episode, Tom confesses, “Maria would be an amazing match for me. There’s no doubt for that.” Meanwhile, Maria cried before the wedding wishing that her dad was there to experience the special moment. So it’s pretty optimistic that the two married after all.

Benaiah and Nicole had a very powerful connection in The Pods after she cut things off with Sam. The two shared their love of spirituality and travel and Benaiah proposed to her after episode 5. Though, Benaiah’s mom had some reservations about their relationship.
In the preview of the wedding episode, Benaiah was seen in tears seeing Nicole walk down the aisle asking if it’s the right or wrong decision. The two don’t follow each other on Instagram so it may be up in the air for them.

A wholesome relationship created one of the first couples to make it out of The Pods together. They seemed to be having a lovely time on Corfu and moving in to their apartment together. Though, they had a splendid time meeting Sabrina’s family in Belfast, Sabrina and Steven do not follow each other on Instagram.

Catherine and Freddie were an unlikely pairing to hop out of the pods as they both seemed to have strong connections with other people. Though the two had very bad hiccups during their time in Corfu and when they moved in together, the biggest shock came when Freddie asked Catherine for a prenup.
Freddie’s sister doubles down on if he truly wants this for himself, and he looks pretty solemn when he meets Cat down the aisle in the preview episode. Meanwhile, Cat confesses that she’s never met a man like him before.
