Love is Blind: Mexico star Irais admits "love is unexpected"

Before the couple headed to the altar, Rene's mother informed the Love is Blind: Mexico cast member that his father would not attend his wedding. While speaking to the cameras, she explained he did not believe in the concept of the experiment.

"Rene's father isn't here today because he doesn't agree with it. He doesn't think it's credible to say you're in love after only one month," said Rene's mother.

On the other hand, Irais was certain about her feelings and knew Rene was the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. On their wedding day, the Love is Blind: Mexico couple read their vows and professed love to each other.

When the marriage officiant asked Rene if he accepted Irais as his "lawfully wedded wife," he said:

"Irais, I know that love is blind because I found someone wonderful and magical, but I'm really not ready to take this step."

His response wiped the smile off of Irais' face. She immediately looked down to stop herself from crying. Rene added that he "believed in the team" they made, and knew they had "a long road ahead together." Despite how strongly he felt for her, he could not lie and overlook what his feelings indicated. He confessed he had to come clean to her about his emotions.

Irais' mother said she knew her daughter was "at peace." As the Love is Blind: Mexico cast member walked away from the altar, she said:

"Sometimes love is unexpected, and these things also happen in real life. Not everything can be perfect."

Irais confessed it was not what she imagined her special day to be like. Meanwhile, Rene reassured himself that he made the right choice by calling off the wedding. He knew the timing was not right. However, he believed that Irais was the right person for him.

Therefore, after the guests left, he approached Irais to discuss what they should do next. When Irais asked what prompted his decision, Rene answered:

"I know that you and I are gonna make an incredibly strong team together. But as you know, I really would have liked to have my father here today. I mean, it was pretty difficult for me too, cause I know this was your dream."

He added that he did not want to lie to her about his feelings because he loved her. After hearing Rene's explanation, Irais confessed that although she was "hopeful," she knew he would not be able to go through with the wedding.

Despite everything, Rene believed they could make it work if they moved at their own pace. He reassured her about his feelings and hoped she wanted to continue their journey outside the show.

After much contemplation, Irais said:

"I know that we can do it."

While speaking to the cameras, the Love is Blind: Mexico star noted that their story had been different from everyone else's. She believed that they could be happy together in the future.
