'Love is Blind': Why did Natalie change her mind and decide not to marry Shayne?
It barely took any time for 29-year-old Natalie Lee to fall head-over-heels in love with Shayne Jansen. Despite never seeing him in-person or meeting him, the conversations that the dup had through the pods on 'Love is Blind' left the consultant convinced that Shayne was the one for her. Unfortunately for Natalie, it wasn't such a clear-cut decision for Shayne.
Even though he thoroughly enjoyed talking to Natalie and getting to know her, Shayne also found himself drawn to Shaina Hurley. The fun and flirty conversation he had with the blonde beauty left him spoilt for choice between Natalie and Shaina. Shayne's connection with both the ladies, led to a lot of friction between the trio, even resulting in Shaina dubbing his relationship with Natalie as 'comical'. However, when it was time to pop the big question, the real-estate broker decided to propose to Natalie and explore a relationship with her. The couple's relationship can be best described as a wild roller-coaster ride thanks to Shaina's attempts at winning back Shayne, and Natalie's stubbornness to not constantly compliment Shayne and reassure him about their relationship. Despite their many differences, Shayne and Natalie seemed to be getting along really well, and were determined to get married and make their relationship work. So, when on the day of their wedding, Natalie, who fought tooth and nail to make her relationship with Shayne work, declared that she didn't want to marry him, everybody was shocked.

When Shayne was asked if he wanted to marry Natalie he immediately said yes. However, when Natalie was asked the same question she said no, and explained that while she had nothing but love for Shayne, they however had a lot of big issues that they had to work through and felt that they needed some more time.
