Alfia admitted that having such confidence in his relationship with Lemieux at first took them both by surprise, but they are happy to have pulled through the experiment.

“I think we were two of the most skeptical people about it. So finding it, we really hooked up,” she explained.

“Each day was more and more [proof] that we were the exact same person… together it really, really works. We really complement each other.

As for the toughest challenge they’ve faced in the real world? Navigating the holidays, according to Lemieux, who resides in Texas with Alfia.

“My family lives so far away, so it’s like, ‘How long are we spending in this person’s house? When are we leaving and when are the Cowboys playing?'” he joked. , yeah, it’s just navigating normal life together, but I wouldn’t do it with anyone else.”

As fans witnessed in the finale, Reed was hesitant to say ‘yes’ to Bolton in the moments leading up to their nuptials – due to their many ups and downs and skepticism about whether they were ready. for the next step.

“I knew I loved him and didn’t want to live without him, so I carried on with how I felt,” she recalled. “So the day of, I was still toying with that question, but I wanted to go with my gut. As soon as I saw him crying, walking down the aisle, I didn’t hesitate. As soon as we passed the eyes, when I saw it, I had the overwhelming feeling of knowing that it was my person.

For his part, Bolton said “the hardest thing navigating” the real world with Reed was adjusting to each other’s lifestyles.

“You do certain things on the weekends when you’re single that you want to do in a relationship,” he explained. “So you have to quit – like, for me, it was playing golf. I hardly play golf now. So it’s just merging stuff like that.

“We had a chance to talk and discuss things and see things from each other’s perspective,” he shared. “I think our relationship was very, very unique from the start. [was] I like to bring two different worlds together, and at the time I didn’t think that adding marriage on top of that would resolve those differences. It would rather make things more complicated.
