Netflix dropped episodes 8 to 10 of Love is Blind season 3 on November 2 at 3 am ET. While four couples are yet to walk down the aisle, SK and Raven took the next step in their relationship by organizing a wedding ceremony and saying their wedding vows in front of friends and family.

But when it came time to make their final decision, SK said, "I do not." He said that it was not the right time to get married, given that Raven is reluctant about him going to California for two years to get a degree. He was not flexible with Raven's family situation as no one from her family had attended the ceremony. He did not want to face any shortcomings in his married life in the future.

Raven hugged him at the alter and the couple confessed their love for each other. Raven said that she did not want to have a wedding again and revealed that she was going to say yes to him that day. SK's mother visited Raven after the ceremony and comforted her.
