Marissa and Ramses discuss wedding plans in Love is Blind season 7 episode 10
In episode 10, Marissa and Ramses began their conversation by talking about the wedding planning.
"I talked to the wedding planner today while you were at work."
Marissa told him before leading him to the bedroom, which was adorned with rose petals. She revealed they were planning a "boho glam" theme, and the conversation shifted to personal decisions about their upcoming wedding. Marissa asked Ramses about doing a "mother-son dance," which he agreed would be "cool."
The couple also addressed more personal matters, including honoring Ramses' late father during the ceremony. Ramses suggested:
"In the entrance where people are signing in... they can just, like, have his photo."
Marissa agreed, further emphasizing the importance of their families in the ceremony. However, the lighthearted conversation took a more serious turn when Marissa asked Ramses if he had any doubts about their relationship. Ramses admitted to having "normal" nerves but reassured her. He said:
"I see myself at the altar with you, like, saying yes."
Marissa, still seeking clarity, asked him directly, "Do you feel sure?" to which Ramses responded, "Yeah, I do feel sure." His affirmation seemed to ease her concerns, as she later stated, "I needed to clear that up."
The journey of Marissa and Ramses in Love is Blind season 7
Marissa and Ramses have had a unique journey on Love is Blind. Their relationship began in the pods, where Ramses stood out for being in touch with his emotions, which was a refreshing change for Marissa.
"I have a feeling I’m going to end up in a love triangle," Ramses said.
Ramses stated it referencing Marissa’s connection with another contestant, Bohdan. However, Marissa ultimately chose Ramses over Bohdan due to their deeper connection.
The couple bonded over shared experiences, including their upbringings in single-parent households and past relationships. Ramses was previously married to his high school sweetheart, and this became a point of reflection for the couple.
In episode 10, Marissa admitted that she didn’t want her marriage to Ramses to feel like a repeat of his first.
"I want this marriage to look different from your previous marriage," she told him.
Ramses reassured her, stating that, it would be different. As the Love is Blind progressed, their relationship deepened, but not without challenges. After leaving the honeymoon phase in Mexico, they faced tough conversations about their future.
In a previous episode, Ramses expressed concerns about Marissa's potentially reenlisting in the military, saying:
"It probably wouldn’t work out because we’d be in very different places."
Despite this, Marissa reassured him that she was committed to her legal career, and they were able to move forward.
One of the biggest hurdles in Love is Blind came when Marissa’s mother, Vanessa, voiced concerns about Ramses during a family meeting. From critiquing his fashion sense to questioning his financial stability. Ramses managed to navigate the tense conversation, but it left a lasting impact on him and their relationship.
Moving forward towards the Wedding
Despite the challenges in Love is Blind, Ramses' words gave Marissa the confidence to move forward with the wedding preparations, and she began trying on dresses with her mother.
However, in episode 11, Ramses' nerves surfaced again just two days before the wedding, as he admitted he didn’t want to face another divorce. His previous marriage had left him cautious, and the reality of "existing and living" with Marissa made him question if he was truly ready for marriage again.
Marissa, feeling blindsided by his doubts, urged Ramses to trust in their relationship. As they approached their wedding day, their future remained uncertain, with Ramses still unsure if Marissa was truly his person.
Whether Ramses' lingering doubts will lead to heartbreak or a happy ending remains to be seen in the upcoming finale episode. The final episode of Love is Blind will be released on Netflix, on October 23, 2024.
