'Love Is Blind': Matt gets cold feet before marrying Amber, Cameron cries at the altar
Netflix's new dating show 'Love Is Blind' is in the fag end of its season and from what we can see it's a lot of heartbreaks and a few happy endings. The finale episode focuses on the five engaged couples - Matt Barnett and Amber Pike, Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton, Kelly Chase and Kenny Barnes, Jessica Batten and Mark Anthony Cuevas, Giannina Milady Gibelli and Damian Powers and how they handle their special moments at the altar.
On the day of the wedding, Matt shared with Amber that he was having cold feet whereas Amber couldn't be surer of her decision. And, these opposing thoughts made for an awkward, anxious and nervous wedding morning for both of them.
As Amber got dressed for her big day, Matt was nervous as he fixed the cuffs of his shirt. He breathed heavily and waited anxiously for his to-be-bride to arrive, who was a vision in her low-cut white gown. They recited their vows and much to Amber's surprise, Matt said yes. And just like that, they got their happily-ever-after. But it wasn't a smooth ride to the end.
While at the pods, Matt had shared in his green-room interview how he was not sure if the spark that he and Amber shared would fizzle out eventually. That was the first time that Matt seemed to doubt his trust in Amber. When the couple met Matt's family, his brother, Danny, categorically said that the madness that's making their equation so enjoyable will ultimately go out the door and they'll be left with real problems. He even took Matt aside and asked if he was ready to give up everything for Amber?
His family showing their half-hearted support cast a huge shadow on his confidence. He also seemed a bit off when trying to figure out how all the wedding expenses would be managed because financial debt is something he wouldn't want to get into. However, he was not in two minds about marrying Amber at all and you could see it when he told Jessica that Amber was perfect for him and they are both happy together.
Lauren and Cameron were the final ones to get hitched on the show. Their love for each other seemed real and you could see how they were confident about the decisions they had made for themselves. Even at the altar, they looked into each other's eyes and it was evident that they were in it for good.
"You made me want to be a better man, and you have everything that I need in a partner," Cameron said as he cried while Lauren stood there, wiped away his tears and said it was okay because she had shed tears too. But it took them quite a bit of understanding to reach where they are today. The multi-racial angle was a concern but they were able to overcome it easily, convince their parents that their love was real and they were in it for the whole thing.
The couple was the first ones of the lot to say "I love you" to each other. Litte over 30 minutes in the premiere episode and show found its first couple in Lauren and Cameron who are still together, at least that is what the tabloids have to say. Bustle reported that the pair seem to be together as they have been posting solo pictures from the same place. Talking to the site, Lauren said that it took her only a week to fall in love with Cameron but she did have her hesitations, which he understood well and gave her time to figure it all out.
"It was an accelerated timeline, of course. So I understood why it was tough for her. And then it made me start questioning like, 'Well man, am I being rash?" the site quoted Cameron as saying. There you go, a perfect pair with great understanding.
