Iyanna McNeely on Going From Love Is Blind to a Snowy Chicago Wedding

Welcome back to Weddings-ish with Jove! Today Jove is joined by Iyanna McNeely, who the world first met on Netflix’s Love Is Blind. After experiencing one of the most talked-about relationships on the show—and a very public marriage and divorce—Iyanna opens up about what came next. In this episode, Iyanna shares the full story of how she found love again with her husband Alex after the show, starting with a simple coffee date that turned into hours of conversation and eventually a beautiful engagement. She also takes us inside her intimate winter wedding in Chicago, including the surprising moment she canceled her destination wedding plans in Jamaica and decided to start over completely. The result? A deeply personal two-day celebration with a small ceremony, a larger party the next day, and a magical snowfall that made the wedding feel like something out of a movie. Plus, Iyanna gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it was really like filming Love Is Blind—from the exhausting pod schedule to the emotional intensity of making life-changing decisions in just ten days.
