Addressing naysayers who have questioned his connection with Chelsea, 31, he continued: “Just a quick response to anyone saying ‘they have no chemistry’, or ‘they don’t even love each other’.. based on what you saw, I don’t blame you for thinking that. But actually, we had the MOST fun together falling in love!”

In response to his post, Kwame and Chelsea’s Love Is Blind costars showed their support for the couple in the comments section.

Chelsea and Kwame’s journey to the altar was one with many challenges, beginning in Mexico when Kwame had a flirty exchange with his ex Micah in front of Chelsea, 31.

After the pair made it past that moment, things got tricky for them again when Kwame’s mom opted not to show support for his decision to get married on Love Is Blind. He spoke candidly about how much his mom meant to him and how much he wanted her to attend their wedding, which appeared to be one of the biggest issues heading into their big day.

The pair were also shown having disagreements about their style of communication and his hesitance to relocate from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, to be with Chelsea.

Though his mother was not on board with his whirlwind marriage and did not attend the nuptials, Kwame chose Chelsea in the end. At the altar, they both said yes to each other.

“I love you and I am ready for the most beautiful adventure of life with you as your wife forever,” Chelsea said.

Kwame told his bride, “I love the way you make me feel. I love when we disagree because it makes us come back together and let us know how strong we are. We get stronger by the moment, we get closer by the day.”

Speaking to PEOPLE after the happy moment, Chelsea said she was hopeful that Kwame would choose her in the end — but ultimately wanted him to do what he felt was best.

“I was just hoping that he was truly going to make the right decision for him,” she said. “I really did, whatever that was for him, I wanted him to feel authentically ready and want to get married to me.”

Kwame has also spoken about the pressures that came with their big day, writing in a post on Instagram Wednesday: “The amount of stress you feel in deciding if you’re going to marry someone you met in an experience like this is.. A LOT.”

“Unloading all of our baggage, combining all the different parts of our lives, hoping it makes logical sense as people who truly love each other. Its hard for people to understand,” he continued. “It takes a lot of strength, courage and vulnerability to make it through this, and you embody all of those traits so well. I couldn’t imagine going through this experiment with anyone else.”
