Love Is Blind: Poland (Love is Blind: Polska)

LOVE IS BLIND POLAND THE REUNION

Welcome to the reunion of the first season of Love is Blind Poland.

We've had a season full of emotions, hope, honest conversations,

and difficult decisions that changed the lives of our participants.

It's very nice to see you.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Hey. -Hi.

It's been almost a year since you joined the experiment.

Today, we're revisiting your stories.

We'll see what your lives are like now.

Who kept their promises?

Who changed their mind? And who found true love?

There will be honest conversations. Some might be uncomfortable.

But we're here to answer all the burning questions.

We'll also see previously unaired footage.

You all came here looking for love.

You entered the pods with open hearts. And that was truly very brave.

Five engaged couples had the chance to see

if their feelings would last outside the pods.

Not everyone made it to the end of this journey.

One couple ended their story early.

Four couples made it to the altar, and two of them said "I do."

Sadly, Marta and Damian couldn't be with us today.

But they sent us a video showing how their past year has gone.

-Let's see. -Let's see.

Who sleeps longer?

Hello from the morning walk with the doggies.

I always do their first walk.

Hey!

It's Freddie!

We moved here two weeks after getting married.

We'll try to show you our life and what the past year looked like.

Paw.

Paw. Good!

FOUNDATION STONE FOR OUR HOUSE

This is my husband's workplace.

To this day, we still debate whether it should stay tidy as a shared space

or be left as Damian's own corner. Well, you tell us.

It's beautiful.

When I'm naughty, which is every day,

I get sent upstairs for a few days.

You're naughty every day.

That's when I get some peace.

Peace is the most important thing in a marriage, isn't it?

-Ciao. -Ciao.

It seems Marta's sense of humor has gotten a bit edgier.

And Damian's has lost its edge.

So, a good balance.

-He eased up a little. -Do you stay in touch?

-Yes. -Yes.

Freddie's still crazy.

-And Lola? -She's calmer.

We're sending them lots of love and our best regards.

-That's right. -Of course.

Awoo? A little "awoo."

-Just to warm up. -A tiny "awoo."

-Awoo. -Awoo.

Marta and Damian aren't the only couple who said "I do."

Daria and Filip.

Hello.

Despite your doubts, you two also got married as part of the experiment.

Now, the big question: are you still together?

We sure are.

Bravo.

How did it go? "What the fuck did I get into?"

-"What did I get into?" I'm proper now. -No more swearing.

Yes.

I've cleaned up my language. It's going in the right direction.

Do you still think you got into something crazy?

A bit, but with a beautiful result.

How's it been since the wedding?

Honey, you start.

Intense, for sure. Filip moved in with me right away,

so it wasn't like we waited.

Right after the wedding, he started bringing his things over to my place.

So we still had to adjust, despite living together during the experiment.

But it's been great.

We visited four countries together, so the goal was to travel.

Amazing.

So in less than a year, I think that's a pretty solid number.

All the trips were wonderful. We had a fantastic time.

-I kept my promise. -That he did.

Let's take a look at your past year because we have some footage. Shall we?

Sure.

I want to send a little message to the guys from the pods.

Respect for taking on the challenge, but I won.

We've had beautiful moments, we went on amazing trips.

We got to know each other, moved in right away and it's been wonderful.

You keep throwing it harder.

But this year also had tough moments and there were challenges along the way.

At one point, I had some health issues, and my husband stepped up.

When I was panicking, he stayed with me at the doctor's,

and his humor really helped.

I had my own problems at work.

As we all know, work problems tend to spill over into home life.

The most important thing is having someone who supports you

and is there for you in tough moments.

We're putting in the effort, because love alone isn't enough.

Relationships take work.

-Honey, why are you turned the other way? -You're dancing.

-Are you embarrassed? -No, not al all.

There were breaking points, but what I appreciate most is that

they showed us we're meant to be.

We believe we'll only grow stronger together.

And when one person falls, the other lifts them back up.

Guys!

Daria, I hope everything is okay with your health now.

Yes, I panicked a little. Something came up, I had some tests done.

I imagined the worst, but he stayed by my side.

She was already picking a funeral home, but I was there for her.

Yeah, finally having that support, and the fact he didn't even think twice

about coming and waiting with me,

that meant a lot.

-That's also a good test. -Yes.

It's easy when things go smoothly, but if problems come up…

It's good that Filip handled it and it all worked out.

My grandpa, who is shown so beautifully in the footage,

sadly had a major decline in health and now doesn't always recognize us.

Filip was there for me too. He came with me to visit him.

He was going through it too.

I also went through a small crisis. Well, not small. I'm still not over it.

My friend died in an accident in India three months ago.

We did cabin crew training together and were very close.

So moments like that also showed me the support I have from my partner.

In moments like these you learn if someone is truly by your side,

to lift you up when you fall.

It's striking how many hardships you've already faced.

We're sorry for the loss of your friend and we wish your grandpa health.

Daria, one more thing. An important part of the experiment

was Filip's family, whom you hadn't met before.

Have you met his family by now?

Yes, I've met Filip's mom, his grandma, and his brothers.

Did they like her?

Yes, absolutely. My whole family liked her.

Especially my sister-in-law, who is also named Daria.

If Daria's surname wasn't hyphenated, there'd be two women named Daria Lenz.

So that's good. They get along well. My mom also gave us her blessing.

They even have each other's numbers and unfortunately talk behind my back.

Can't stop that.

I even have an invitation to visit without Filip if I wanted to,

-since I really like the Polish seaside. -Alright now.

-They trust you now. -Yes.

-We are together. -They know it's serious.

-That's all. -Yes, and…

-They believed it? -Yes.

That it happened.

-And that… -She even tells him…

-…someone wanted me. -…not to blow it.

Yes, some of them say, "Don't you let her go."

How does it feel to see it all again?

I teared up a bit.

It was great. The first part was much easier, I have to admit.

The pods and the trip. It was a great, unique adventure.

The emotions come back when you watch it.

I also liked meeting her dad. When I went, "That's a big man."

He really is a big guy, you've got to give him that.

-So you work out to reach his level. -I'm very close already, come on.

As for the wedding…

I was bawling, alright.

Yes, but I also… The wedding was beautiful, very moving,

but I was also like, "Damn, I'm so happy, so ready,

and there he is, full of doubts." I asked him, "Did you really want this?"

But I also know he tends to panic in very difficult situations. Sorry, hon.

We're not mentioning the reveal, but yes, I know he's like that.

-I tried to calm him down at the wedding… -Let's not.

…tell him, "You've got this.

-You can do it." -I cried during your speech.

-Me too. -God, it was…

I mean… I was in awe. What a beautiful speech.

For a long time I didn't know what to say. I wanted it to feel heartfelt, very me,

and for him to finally hear,

at such an important moment and in front of everyone,

that he is enough and a great guy.

Right, let's go back to your reveal.

-God, I started it. I'm sorry. -You quickly…

-Oh, come on. -…crossed the line with touching,

you commented on Daria's look.

Is there anything you'd change? Anything you regret?

Do I regret anything? Everything.

I was very stressed out. I thought I would pass out.

I could see that.

Maybe that's why I took the reveal so badly and commented on it,

because I didn't recognize Filip.

In the pods, Filip was confident and our conversation flowed easily.

I saw him doing a lot of things randomly.

I could see him shaking, clearly stressed.

I thought, "Okay, this one moment doesn't erase what we've built,

so let's give it a chance."

Although that comment… I told him right away on vacation,

"Listen, that was a total disaster." And he was like, "Please, I'm sorry,

-you don't have to tell me." -I repeatedly said

that the reveal wasn't my proudest moment.

I said it often because it wasn't my best performance.

Daria, how did you feel?

You said that Filip wasn't exactly the type of man you'd dated before.

It was very hard to watch,

because this is the man I'm crazy in love with,

who I find very attractive, both physically and as a person, so…

We also have great chemistry,

-and to hear that… -We can see that.
