Warning: this story contains spoilers from the season 8 finale of Love Is Blind.

Love Is Blind is bidding Minneapolis farewell as another season comes to a close.

On Friday, March 7, the season 8 finale dropped on Netflix, providing fans with answers about the five love stories that unfolded on screen.

Heading into the finale, it was already revealed that David "Dave" Bettenberg and Lauren O'Brien would not be making it to the weddings after they split in episode 11. But questions still loomed about the fate of Sara Carton and Ben Mezzenga, Joey Leveille and Monica Danús, Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley, and Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings.

Read on to find out who tied the knot and who said "I don't" at the altar.

Sara, 29, and Ben, 28, hit it off in the pods, but it quickly became clear that the two were on different pages when it came to religion and social issues.

Though Sara attempted to see Ben's point of view and even tried going to a church service with him, she struggled with how Ben wouldn't have deeper conversations with her or consider beliefs outside of his own. Sara was also concerned about the TikTok drama involving Ben that unfolded earlier in the season. (Another woman came forward, crying about how he allegedly treated her in the past, but Ben insisted it was nothing serious.)

At the altar, Sara said no to marrying Ben, though she insisted she still loved him. "I've always wanted a partner to be on the same wave-length, and so today I can't," she said. Ben appeared to take it in stride and insisted he wanted to stay with her to "grow" their relationship, but Sara quickly shut that down, telling him: "We'll see."

Later on, Sara said she was "affected" by Ben failing to think deeply about bigger social issues and admitted that their love simply might have been "surface [level], fun [and] carefree."

"I want someone to think about that stuff," she admitted. "There was no curiosity coming from his side... People prove who they are, actions speak louder than words. You can say anything you want, but show me. That would've changed everything if he really showed priority."


Joey Leveille and Monica Danús

Joey, 35, and Monica, 28, were the first couple of season 8 to get engaged and appeared to be perfect for each other. However, it was soon revealed that the two didn't see eye-to-eye on love languages and physical affection preferences. Monica's sister also posed a big issue for them when she voiced her disapproval of Joey, which made Monica question if she was giving more to the relationship than him.

On their wedding day, Monica said "I don't," telling Joey that "we're not quite there." Joey was in agreement and said that even though he loved her, "I don't think I would be ready, I need to be 100%... and I'm also not 100% at this time."

Despite their breakup, both appeared to be on good terms and hugged it out after. Monica later explained the reasoning behind her choice, telling cameras: "If Joey had told me with his words, I am 100% in, it is you... I feel like it could've been a lot different. I would have liked a different outcome but I want to be chosen, I deserve to be chosen."

Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley

Virginia, 34, and Devin, 29, had very little bumps in their road to the altar, with their lives blending seamlessly aside from a conversation they had about their political preferences. During that chat, Virginia revealed she tended to vote "with her faith in mind," and Devin seemed to be on the other side of the spectrum.

Things later got tense when Virginia asked for Devin to sign a prenup prior to the wedding. He was hesitant and his family's negative reaction didn't help. However, Virginia simply insisted it was to protect both of them in the long run. Devin ended up signing the prenup and the two entered their wedding day seemingly confident about the other.

But after Devin said "I do" at the altar, Virginia couldn't reciprocate those feelings. "I'm just not ready," she told him through her tears, leaving Devin heartbroken and shocked.

She later told cameras, "There were just depth of our relationships we didn't get to... even our sexual relationship, we just didn't get to it. I think we should be all the way there before we decide to spend the rest of our lives together."

"I didn't like that we had differences in politics, I don't think it was a deal-breaker for me, it was how the communication around that was handled," she added.

Devin, who broke down in tears after Virginia's answer at the altar, added in his own confessional: "The worse thing that could happen happened and I just feel kinda lost. I just don't understand why."


Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings

Closing out the weddings episode was Daniel and Taylor, who appeared to be perfect for each other since the moment they met in the pods. From bonding over their shared obsession of Christmas to their adoration for family, these two seemed like a definite yes.

However, they also hit bumps in the road when Taylor, 32, suspected Daniel, 30, had followed her on Instagram before coming on the show and subsequently knew what she looked like before getting engaged. Daniel denied her theories and Taylor's suspicions were never confirmed. The two then moved forward with their relationship, with Taylor apologizing for trying to sabotage their love.

After that moment, it was smooth-sailing for the pair and their wedding day was no different. At the altar, both Taylor and Daniel said "I do," making them the only couple of season 8 to get married.

"We are so excited to start the next chapter as Mr. and Mrs. Hastings," Taylor told cameras beside her new husband, before joking of their evening plans: "We will definitely be consummating the marriage... Operation consummation!"

Love Is Blind season 8 is now streaming on Netflix, and the reunion is set to air on Sunday, March 9 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
