Three cast members faced rejection on their Love is Blind UK wedding day
1) Maria
Maria, Tom's fiancee, shared a deep connection with her partner and looked forward to spending the rest of her life with him as his wife. On the contrary, Tom felt unsure about marrying Maria because of certain issues.
He revealed that since their upbringing was different, the ideologies and values they held on to were also different. Tom wondered how detrimental their conflicting ideas could be for their future. Maria believed men were responsible for bearing the financial burden in a relationship whereas for Tom a relationship signified teamwork.
The Love is Blind UK cast member did not accept Maria as his wife because of their clashing principles regarding the roles of men and women. As Maria left the wedding venue she confessed she was "taken aback" by everything. She admitted getting married was the "end goal" for her.
She hoped the outcome was different so that she did not have to harbor the sadness within herself.
"There is always gonna be a bit of a sadness in me because I really wish our path could have been different."
2) Ollie
Ollie was engaged to Demi and the two shared a strong bond. They were supportive of each other and comforted one another during hard times. While Ollie looked forward to uniting with Demi, the latter started reconsidering her relationship.
After they left the apartment to spend a few days apart and prepare for the wedding, Ollie kept no contact with his Love is Blind UK partner. Demi was surprised to see no effort from his end. She began questioning if their relationship was even ready to become a marriage.
She took inspiration from her parents' bond and wanted the same from her future husband. While looking at her inexperienced relationship with Ollie, she knew they were not ready to take their relationship to the next level. The Love is Blind UK star revealed she needed to know Ollie inside and out before making such a big decision.
When she refused to say "I do," Ollie was taken aback. He questioned her decision and demanded answers. After hearing Demi's stance, he concluded she was not entirely wrong. It might have been a rash decision to marry after knowing one another so briefly.
Both agreed not to break up, but to wait and see where their connection was headed.
"This is not the end of Demi and Ollie, not by a long shot," said Ollie.
3) Catherine
Catherine and Freddie got engaged in episode 3 of Love is Blind UK. Their budding romance soon faced turbulence when Freddie saw a different side of Catherine. He realized their personalities clashed and that their lifestyles had nothing in common.
While Catherine looked forward to becoming Freddie's wife, Freddie was convinced they were too incompatible. In the finale episode, the Love is Blind UK cast member concluded that he would not wed Catherine. While speaking to the cameras, he confessed her "bougie" lifestyle clashed with his homely and simple one.
Before abandoning Catherine at the altar, he told her "the timing" was not right for them. Catherine was upset by his decision and wondered what went wrong. Despite Freddie stating he still wanted to be with her, Catherine felt unsure about their future.
"It's nice to hear he still wants to be with me, but actions speak louder than words right now. I love him but I don't know," said Catherine.
All episodes of Love is Blind UK are available to stream only on Netflix.
