‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8 Couple Gives Wedding Update After Their Love Story Was Cut
Not all Love Is Blind Season 8 couples made it to the altar. Some because their relationships ended before their wedding days, while other couples just weren’t asked to be in the latter half of the experiment.
One duo who got engaged in the pods, Brian Sumption and Kylie Schuelke, are still in love a year later. Sadly, their journey wasn’t shown on the hit series. They recently opened up about what’s been happening in their lives since the cameras stopped rolling.
The couple told 1025FM that when they got back to Minneapolis, the two went to Mexico for their own “little getaway.” They surprised their friends and family with a FaceTime to share the big news. When they got back home, they were able to approach their romance at their own pace.

The couple was thrown for a loop when they suddenly didn’t have a time constraint anymore. Schuelke explained, “You just think that you’re going to get the guidance from the show and that was something we didn’t really have.”
Quickly after, Sumption and Schuelke had a wedding planning date, but things didn’t go exactly like they expected. “We were like, wait, we don’t have to get married right away anymore. We don’t have to do this we can do our own thing,” Scheulke said.
They were both in agreement about delaying their nuptials. “We have very strong communication,” Scheulke stressed. This is something they credit the show for because, although they weren’t chosen to continue filming, the two applaud Love Is Blind for their romance’s foundation.
Sumption and Scheulke weren’t bummed that their love story wasn’t fully explored on the show, but it was hard to explain to others who assumed they were going to see the couple on the streaming hit.
“When he was home for the holidays, it was one of those things where everyone was asking, like my best friend, ‘Is that the guy from the show? Is that him? Is that him?’ Scheulke confessed. “We also had one of the bartenders who was like, ‘When am I going to see you on the big screen?’ And word travels fast in a small town. People messaged me right away.”
