Forty-eight hours before their wedding day, Bri, aka Breezy, and Connor, her dumpster king, end their journey on Love Is Blind Season 10.

After bonding over “Mr. Brightside” in the pods, dodging DMs from Chris, and surviving a disastrous pod squad mixer, the two have a heartbreaking and honest conversation that ends in the somewhat mutual decision to call off their wedding. While Connor is clear that he would’ve absolutely said yes at the altar, Bri shares that she just can’t commit — not because she doesn’t believe in their future together, but because she’s not giving her “best self” to the relationship. 

“I wanted to trust the process, but I kept waiting for this shift in my heart that never came,” Bri tells Tudum. “I was like, ‘I like this man, but why am I forcing this?’ ” For Connor, it was an exercise in patience and understanding. “If we weren’t both 100% ready to get married, then I didn’t want to do it,” he adds. “I’m not going to drag you to the altar saying no.”

While you’ll have to wait to find out if Bri and Connor are still together, keep reading to hear more about their decision and how a wedding-dress fitting changed everything for the couple.

Heading into the pods, Bri was certain that she was ready for marriage. But once she returned to Ohio with a ring on her finger and Connor on her arm, she began to doubt her own preparedness, and her perceived shortcomings began to chip away at her confidence.   

“I was leading so much with my heart in the pods, but once we got back to Columbus and work, family, friends came back into my head, everything flipped. I was head over heart,” Bri tells Tudum. “I was getting in my own way while we were filming because I was just like, ‘It’s not Connor. It’s me.’ I’m holding myself back from leaning into this experience with full vulnerability.”

Meanwhile, Connor’s faith in the experiment only grew as he and Bri inched closer to the altar. “I had such confidence that we were going to keep rolling, but that attests to the fact that I’m a little more happy-go-lucky and easygoing, whereas she’s very calculated. She has her plan and her calendar and was analytically looking at the situation.”

Their personality differences, of course, were on full display during the season — be it during Connor’s keg-forward tour of his bachelor pad or Bri’s chat about her former pod flame, Chris, in Cabo.

“If Bri wants to do something, she’s going to do it, and I’m going to let her do it,” Connor says. And, while some might not fully understand their dynamic, Connor knows that behind Bri’s blunt delivery is a deep mutual respect. “She might be a little bit too mean to me, but that’s also how I can tell she does care. She wanted to push us even further and even bring us closer together,” he adds. “We both trust each other so much, so when we bicker or have an issue with something, I know that we both want it resolved.”

That foundation of trust was why Bri and Connor were able to navigate the challenges that come with calling off a wedding on camera.

Clarifying that her decision wasn’t “abrupt,” Bri says that she and Connor were in constant dialogue about whether they would say yes at the altar. “I started from a place of skepticism, because this is a big decision. Connor, on the flip side, started from a place of optimism. We just approach it from different POVs,” she says. “That conversation was where we met in the middle, and we’re like, ‘OK, yeah, maybe it isn’t the right time to do all this.’ ”

For Bri, pressure was slowly building as she and the rest of the brides-to-be began checking things off the pre-wedding to-do list. “I kept feeling like I was putting on something that wasn’t me — like the dress, the ring, everything,” she says. “The more that I went through stuff, I was hoping for those moments to really change my mind, [but] they never did.”

Ahead of the wedding dress fittings, Bri said she had a conversation with Connor about her expectations for the day, telling him it was a “make or break” moment. “I had a gigantic menty b after the wedding dresses,” Bri says. “I took that dress off and I hyperventilated in a corner with my mom, and I was like, ‘I can’t do this.’ That’s when I went home to Connor and was like, ‘We’ve got to really reconsider how far we’re going to take this.’ ”

Both Bri and Connor had a hard time letting go of control over what their dream ceremony would look like. “I didn’t feel like this was the ideal state [for the wedding]. Connor was like, ‘I want to get you that ring that you described in the pods and propose to you again,’ because he got the last pick [of rings]. I wanted to go to SoHo in New York for a girls’ trip, try on all the dresses in tears, and be like, ‘This is it.’ We envisioned having this big celebration with our friends and our family. It was feeling very forced.”

Admittedly, Connor had a “small little panic attack” when Bri broke the news to him. 

“It was definitely weird to hear that she wasn’t ready,” he says. “It sucked in the moment because it felt like everything we had been working on for about five, five and a half weeks was coming to an end.”

To find out if Bri and Connor’s conversation was, in fact, the end of their romance — and what’s happened since filming — make sure to tune into the Love Is Blind Season 10 reunion on Mar. 11.
