Captivating TV dating show Love Is Blind: UK has enthralled viewers with its twisting romantic journeys, guided by happily married couple Emma and Matt Willis.
In the hit Netflix series, the men and women declare their love - and even propose - without being able to see the person they are speaking to as they sit in individual dating 'pods' with a wall between them.
It's only then that they finally meet face to face, but there are other stumbling blocks to navigate, from a fiery couples' retreat in Corfu, to meeting friends and family, then living together for the first time in London.
After all that, each pair then has to decide if they want to go through with their weddings and walk down the aisle together as husband and wife.
OK! chatted to the couples who made it to their wedding day - although that doesn't mean they all said 'I do' - and all of them agreed that the appeal of the series was that it was different to other dating shows, and an improvement on dating in real life, too.
With an overbearing potential mother-in-law, a contentious pre-nup, a contestant who was a walking red flag and even a shock change of partner over 11 episodes, the Love Is Blind: UK stars reveal what really happened on the TV show...
BOBBY & JASMINE
Bobby, 33, and Jasmine, 29, hit it off early, but faced hurdles after they met in person, mainly from Jasmine's mother, who had very strong ideas about being a part of not just her daughter's life, but her potential son-in-law's too. Bobby, formerly a luxury shopping guide on cruise ships, knew that meeting mental health nurse Jasmine's family would be a big deal after their chats in the pod.
