The wedding day for Karen and Nicola on Love Is Blind: Italy was a calm and joyful event, marking the successful end of their journey on the show. In Episode 9, which aired on December 15, 2025, the couple exchanged vows and rings in front of their families and fellow pod squad members, solidifying what many viewers saw as the season’s most stable relationship. Their story stood out for its emotional maturity and the seamless blending of their families, including Karen’s young son.
The Calm Before the Ceremony: Family and Final Reflections
On the morning of the wedding, both Karen and Nicola were surrounded by close family as they prepared. Their feelings were not of stress, but of certainty and peace about the decision ahead.
Karen spent time with her son, Nicolas, and her former mother-in-law, Patrizia. She spoke about their importance in her life, calling her son “my universe” and describing Patrizia as the kind of woman she aspires to become. Their presence provided strong support and highlighted the family Karen was bringing into the marriage. Meanwhile, Nicola got ready with his best woman, Francesca, who expressed her unwavering support for him regardless of the outcome.
In their final reflections before walking down the aisle, both expressed a deep sense of rightness. Karen shared, “I’m feeling calm. Why should I be stressed? He’s there.” Nicola echoed this sentiment, describing Karen as a fundamental part of his life and stating, “I know I’ll be emotional when I see her in a wedding dress. She’s absolutely the one for me.”
A Wedding Ceremony with Two Clear “Yes” Answers
The ceremony was a reunion of the pod squad, joined by family members from both sides. There was no last-minute drama or hesitation. When the officiant asked for their final decisions, Nicola spoke first.
“You’re an incredible woman, you stand up to me, you make me happy. And therefore for me, it’s a definite yes, I love you,” Nicola said at the altar.
Karen responded with equal conviction, leaving no room for doubt.
“You’ve always been the only one for me. I love you. I will choose you every day, forever. For me, it’s a definite yes, no question,” Karen responded.
After this exchange, the officiant declared them married. The couple then exchanged rings, a moment that immediately became a fond memory for Karen.
Celebrations and Integrating Their Families
The joy of the ceremony flowed directly into the celebrations. Karen’s first reaction after being declared husband and wife was one of happy disbelief. Turning to Nicola in a joint confessional, she joked about the symbol of their new commitment.
“We’re married! With the ring and all! Don’t you ever take it off. Not even when you go play paddle. No way, okay?” Karen said.
The reception featured dancing and heartfelt moments between the families. A key moment was Karen introducing her young son to Nicola’s relatives, successfully blending the two parts of her life. Nicola’s mother, Luisa, shared her thoughts on the rapid but genuine progression of her son’s relationship, noting she hadn’t expected things to happen so quickly but was happy for them.
How Their Story Fit Into the Season’s Finale
Episode 9 focused solely on Karen and Nicola’s wedding. The broader outcome for all couples was revealed in Episode 10, the season finale, which also aired on December 15, 2025. While Karen and Nicola successfully married, not all stories had a happy ending:
- Hyoni and Alessandro: Also said “yes” at the altar and are seen as another strong couple from the season.
- Gergana and Parminder: Broke up before their wedding day, with Gergana feeling they were not ready for marriage.
- Davide and Ludovica: Experienced a painful rejection at the altar, with Davide saying “no” after Ludovica had said “yes”.
This contrast made Karen and Nicola’s steady, drama-free path to “I do” stand out even more. Their journey was defined by growing certainty, successful family meetingsโincluding Nicola’s parents giving their blessingโand a shared vision.
Fans can watch the entire journey of Karen and Nicola, including their wedding, by streaming Love Is Blind: Italy on Netflix. A reunion episode is scheduled to premiere on December 19, 2025, which may provide further updates on the married couples.
