Love Is Blind Season 3 Finale Recap: Which Couples Got Hitched? And Which Groom Got Told Off At The Altar?

We've made it to the end of another wild season of Netflix's Love Is Blind — the wildest so far, we think! — with five couples heading to the altar just four weeks after seeing each other for the first time. Who actually said "I do," though? Who got jilted on their wedding day? And who got verbally destroyed in front of their friends and loved ones? Read on to find out!

Raven and SK

We weren't sure that fitness addict Raven would ever warm up to SK, but she now thinks she's found her man: "I'm ready to say yes." He's nervous as he gets dressed in ceremonial Nigerian wedding garb, and though Raven's family isn't coming to the wedding, SK's mom helps her put on the traditional Nigerian headdress. (Aw!) At the altar, the bride and groom are both happy and smiling; he calls her "my biggest prize," and she sobs that "I think we have a great future ahead of us." When it comes time for the vows, though, SK says, "I do not." Oh! He insists that he loves Raven, but he doesn't think it's the right time to get married with him about to move to California for grad school. (So why did you go on a show that ends with people getting married, my dude?) Raven is crushed, as is SK's mom, and it even starts to rain, too. (Isn't it ironic?) SK further explains that Raven's "family situation" was an issue, too, and "I would feel lots of shortcomings every day." (Well, that's... not good.) Raven tries to laugh and say everything's OK, but it's clearly not, and SK's mom rushes in to comfort her and tell her how much she loves her. (Double aw!) Raven was planning to say yes, too. We kind of can't believe she's the one getting her heart broken here. Maybe there's still a chance they can reconnect later? If she's not busy doing jumping jacks?

Result: NOT MARRIED

Nancy and Bartise

Nancy gushes about how much she loves Bartise, but of course, they've had their issues. Bartise, meanwhile, still has lingering anxieties about her ex and his family accepting all of this. Before the ceremony, she sends him a sweet card along with thoughtful gifts, and he tears up... and then keeps crying. But are those "I really love this girl" tears, or "I'm about to break this girl's heart" tears? She looks terrific as she walks down the aisle and says yes without hesitation. When it's Bartise's turn to answer? We have to wait until the next episode to find out, but he says "I do not." Her brother is pissed off ("What the f–k are we doing this for?") as Nancy storms off. Bartise catches up with her outside, and they have to shoo her angry mom away so they can have a moment. Bartise apologizes to Nancy, but says going from the pods to the real world, "we haven't gotten there for me yet." (???) Then Nancy's mom comes back with a vengeance, and things get ugly when her brother joins in, demanding an explanation. Bartise claims, "I don't owe y'all anything," even telling Nancy's brother that he's the one "f–king all of this up." (Nope, pretty sure that's still you, Bartise.)

Nancy finally gets her family to back off, with her brother declaring: "That ain't no man. That's a punk right there." But Nancy's plenty angry herself: When she and Bartise take a quiet moment on the staircase together, she tells him she feels blindsided. ("You f–king gaslit me.") She rips off the permanent bracelet they got together, telling him "it means nothing to me." Bartise thinks this doesn't have to be the end for them, but she's firm: "We are done." Bartise still doesn't think he did anything wrong, and the harsh truth is beginning to dawn on Nancy: "There's no point to love someone who doesn't love me." True that. It always seemed like Bartise was finding fault in how Nancy looked or how she acted. Maybe he can go give Raven another try.

Result: NOT MARRIED

Brennon and Alexa

Is there any real suspense here? These two have been just gaga about each other since the pods, and as their wedding day arrives, they're both very confident with zero doubts. If Brennon actually said no at the altar, Alexa tells her friends, "It would break through my Botox, that's how shocked I would look." She's also developed this annoying habit of referring to herself in the third person, but otherwise, the day is going smoothly. Brennon wears a traditional yarmulke at the altar, and Alexa's dad still seems to have his doubts about cutting this joker in on his apparently massive fortune, but he fully supports his daughter, walking her down the aisle with pride. Brennon and Alexa exchange heartfelt vows — and both say "I do" without hesitation. They smash the glass as husband and wife. Mazel tov! In a private toast, Alexa raises her glass "to, like, forever or whatever." Well said! Seriously, though, we're glad these two found each other and are happy... but happy people are boring. Moving on!

Result: MARRIED

Cole and Zanab

Oh, these two. She talks about how easy it was to fall in love with him, "but Cole and I have not have an easy ride." Uh, ya think? Was it when he told you Colleen is hotter than you, or when he called you bipolar? Cole is excited to marry her, though; he thinks all their fighting is a good sign. Zanab shares a sweet moment with her stepmom and is leaving two seats empty for her late parents. (Sniff.) But she keeps saying she won't know what she's going to say until she sees Cole up at the altar?!? Maybe you should have some idea by now?

At the altar, Cole continues to be distressingly immature: His bowtie is not tied correctly at all, and he can't even get through the ceremony without mouthing to his bride, "I want to kiss you." But they exchange vows, and it seems like they're full speed ahead... until it's time for Zanab to say "I do." She launches into a speech, saying she knows what kind of woman will make Cole happy, and "I think both you and I know that is not me." (!) What's more, "you have disrespected me. You have insulted me. You have critiqued me... you have singlehandedly shattered my self-confidence. And I hate that you have had that kind of effect on me." (!!!) She still loves him, she says, but "love shouldn't hurt like this. I can't marry you, and I don't." She even gets applause from her friends as she walks off... and we may have applauded a little, too.

As the guests slowly file out, a stunned Cole cries on his friends' shoulders. But Zanab is still fuming as she walks off: "He had to be fricking told some things. I hope he doesn't do this to another woman because it isn't fair." Her stepmom tells her she's proud she stood up for herself. Cole is just bitter, though: "She had me fooled. Big time... It's one of the worst experiences of my life." Zanab says she would've lost who she was if she married Cole, and she leaves her engagement ring on the table. Well, we weren't expecting that — but we wholeheartedly support it.

Result: NOT MARRIED

Colleen and Matt

Will we end this on a positive note, at least? Colleen looks happy as she says Matt is her best friend. (Does she know Cole is single now, though?) She admits they've been on a rollercoaster ("It's never boring, that's for sure") as we see lowlights of all their arguments. Matt also says he won't know for sure until he sees her walking down the aisle — what is wrong with these people??? — and one of his friends worries that he's not ready for this. As for Colleen, she says "I don't know" to her mom about ten times, which isn't a great sign. At the ceremony, though, they're both beaming. Colleen tells Matt, "You are my person, a thousand percent," eventually getting around to saying "I do." When it's Matt's turn, he says what sounds like "no" (!), but we guess it was just "you know" before he starts a speech about how she helped him open up again. He, too, eventually, gets around to "absolutely, I do." Alright! Two out of five ain't bad, right? (That seems to be the going average for Love Is Blind seasons, actually.) Both Colleen and Matt seem surprised the other person said yes, but we'll take it!

Result: MARRIED

In a final montage, SK says he still loves Raven, but that wasn't enough for him to say "I do" today. Aw, we do kind of hope these kids can work it out. Bartise says "I never fell out of love with Nancy," but "the real world impacts the love we had." (Like, when you saw her and she didn't look like Raven?) As for Nancy, she calls Bartise's reasons "stupid," adding: "He did make the biggest mistake of his life." Cole feels like Zanab switched on him without warning, while she reveals he told her "he wanted someone sweet," which we guess meant she wasn't sweet enough for him. She still never met his family, either: "I could not say yes to that man." But we do have some happy couples: Brennon and Alexa walk triumphantly through their reception, while Colleen and Matt drunkenly announce: "We're gonna make beautiful babies with short stubby hands." Is Colleen getting more Southern the more she drinks? Oh well... see you at the reunion!
