At Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers’ wedding, Gibelli said “I do” and Powers said “I do not.” It was a dramatic moment, but viewers also couldn’t help but notice one continuity error that made the whole scene look potentially fake.
After Powers turned Gibelli down, she ran out of the building and into the streets of Atlanta, getting mud on her wedding dress in the process. But later, when Gibelli returned to the venue and fought it out with Powers, the mud had mysteriously disappeared from her dress. People accused the show of being scripted.
A Love Is Blind producer explained that the continuity error was, in fact, due to the fact that there were four hours of wedding drama to condense into a few minutes of the show. Gibelli was outside, being consoled by her mom, for “45 minutes — maybe even an hour,” producer Chris Coelen told Metro UK. Then, they stopped in the bathroom, where Gibelli’s mom cleaned the dress. By the time the couple came back to the ballroom, two hours had passed; the wedding guests were gone and the chairs were packed up.
Coelen added that Gibelli was “stewing, steaming and destroyed emotionally” by Powers’ rejection. But, despite it all, they managed to show up to the Love Is Blind reunion seemingly happier than ever.
