Love Is Blind UK sees Maria and Tom preparing for their wedding day. The all new Netflix show season kicked off this August and, just the USA version, couples are testing whether love truly is blind. The participants’ whirlwind romances see them get to know one another in the pods before being whisked away on honeymoons, meeting each other’s family and potentially tying the knot.
During Love Is Blind UK, one Netflix star, Maria, reveals how when her wedding day comes around, she’ll be walked down the aisle by her brother. She tears up telling her partner how she wishes her father could be there on her special day. But, sadly her dad passed some years back.
Love Is Blind UK’s Maria opens up about her dad
During Love Is Blind UK season 1 episode 9, Maria and Tom talk about their upcoming wedding day.
Despite “not feeling nervous,” Maria did explain she was feeling upset about her father not being able to attend her wedding.
Tom asks how Maria is feeling about her brother giving her away.
She says: “I’m so happy because… it would always have been my dad and my brother, even if my dad was still alive…”
Speaking of her brother, she adds: “I struck gold when I got him, he’s amazing. He and my dad are just the best men ever. Obviously pops can’t be there, which is hard.”
Maria takes to Instagram this year to say April marks four years since her father’s passing.
‘I’ll grieve until my last day’
Paying tribute to her dad on Instagram, Maria writes: “I was talking about loss with someone and they said eventually you have to get over it and move on and I couldn’t disagree more…
“…why would I ever want to get over someone who was so important to me, someone who made up half of me, someone who shaped me into the person I am and someone who showed me an endless amount of love.”
The Love Is Blind UK star explains how she misses her dad “every day” and writes:
“I think the grief we experience from losing a loved one is all the love we still had left to give them, that’s why it stays with us, because you never stop loving those people whether they’re physically here or not, I’ll grieve until my last day because I’ll never stop loving you papa.”
She describes her dad as being “…truly are the best father a girl could have asked for, the definition of a real father…”
