Spoilers for the Love is Blind season 8 finale and reunion ahead. Ever since its early seasons, politics has come up in Netflix's reality TV hit Love Is Blind in some capacity, from interracial dating to birth control to more direct discussions about political parties. However, politics has rarely been the main factor in whether a couple makes it from the sight-unseen pods to their wedding day, a month later.
Enter 29-year-old oncology nurse Sara Carton and 28-year-old developer Ben Mezzenga, two members of Love Is Blind season 8's Minnesota-based cast. From the first moment viewers meet them in the pods, it's clear that the pair are in different places on the political spectrum, but they love each other to get engaged and try to build a life together. Even as an off-screen TikTok scandal threatened to break them apart, their eventual "I do" or "I don't" came down to whether they could compromise their faith.
