Is it possible for two people to connect solely by their voices and become engaged before ever meeting in person? That is the question posed by Love is Blind: Sweden, the matchmaking reality show that was started in the U.S.

We got to follow five couples that got engaged, went on a honeymoon, and lived together, before deciding if they wanted to get married. Krissy-Le and Rasmus, Meira and Oskar, and Amanda and Sergio all said yes to each other at the altar, Emilia said yes to a future with Lucas but Lucas was not ready to commit to Emilia and said no, while Catja and Christofer decided to part ways ahead of the wedding.

Q&As after the Reunion episodeThe Reunion - where we meet the participants for the first time since the altar - has been released, giving us an update on what has happened since the cameras went out.

Weve spoken to the participants again, where they share everything from what it was like to take part in the experiment, special memories or unseen events, and their thoughts on the future.

Christofer What have you learned about yourself through the experiment and what are you looking for in your next relationship? I was reminded that love does exist. Sometimes it feels hard, almost like I had it and lost it - like I will never find love again. I found that feeling again when I thought it was gone.

I really want to find my soulmate, but it takes time and I will give it that time. Hurry up slowly. In a future relationship, the most important thing for me is that it is built on mutual respect, humility and humor.

If you had to do something different, what would it be? Theres really nothing I would have wanted to do differently. But with hindsight - and if there was a time machine - I might have dated others more and seen where it would have led. But Catja has a wonderful soul and is pleasant to talk to. She was responsive but still cheeky. I think humor is one of the most important things in a relationship. She had that.

How does it feel that your expression "The joy and eternal longing of my heart" has gone viral? I love that it has gone viral - its great that such a beautiful phrase is on everyones lips right now. Ive noticed theres a bit of a love-hate relationship with the phrase, but deep down I think everyone loves saying it and wishes someone would say it back. The sentence has such a strong meaning and it says so much.

How did you feel when you found out that Catja had met Adde? I found out about a month after we broke up. The news that Catja had started seeing someone new was very hard on me. I tried to process our relationship in my loneliness. I felt like she moved on very quickly, which made it feel like our relationship was in vain - my heart was broken. The fact that the person she met is my absolute opposite also made me very confused and I had so many questions. Questions I realized I will never get answers to. It hurt my heart at first when I found out they were dating, but I have given it time and have moved on and let it go. I wish them joy and happiness in life.

Catja Thanks to the experiment, you actually met Adde. How does it feel? What did you fall in love with? Thats correct, thanks to the experiment I met Adde and it feels so amazing! I believe that everything happens for a reason and maybe our paths were meant to cross after the experiment, not during. I found something in him already from the first date but after that there was nothing more - for what reason only the gods know. At the end of the capsule period, I asked for a second date, but by then I think we were both so engrossed in our own journeys that neither of us dared - or wanted - to move on. Once we met in the Stockholm nightlife at a day party, it was like lightning struck and it was love at first sight.

I usually describe him as "old money love" and that is exactly what I need in my life. A gentleman who takes the initiative, listens and dares to challenge my way of thinking from time to time. He is incredibly caring, loving and always puts me first. He has his life in place, is confident in himself as a person, driven and gives me the greatest security I have ever felt.

If you had to do something different, what would it be? I wouldnt have done anything differently at all. I was always honest with myself and I always followed my gut feeling. It really says it all and if theres one thing you should go by, its your gut - its never wrong.

What have you learned about yourself through the experiment? Mainly that I do not become less independent just because I let myself be taken care of. Ive always had my mothers words in the back of my mind that you should always be able to stand on your own two feet, which I have basically always done, but becoming single and realizing that "oh, I can handle adult life on my own" is an incredible confirmation that anything is possible if you just want it. Thanks to the experiment, I found what I was looking for. It was just on a different path and I am incredibly grateful for that. You have to dare a little to win.

Sergio and Amanda What are you most looking forward to in your married life and how do you feel about becoming parents together? We look forward to sharing an everyday life together and having each other as support in all the ups and downs of life. Right now its extra exciting as we are having a child together - this shortly after the wedding. It really is a new chapter. It will be wonderful to go through this journey - from pregnancy, to childbirth, and then to carry home a little baby that we will raise.

If you could do something differently, what w
