Both were even more nervous than on their wedding day, not knowing what the other would have decided after three days of deliberation… but Antwerp resident Thomas and Karlien from Hasselt (both 31) said ‘yes’ to each other a second time on Monday evening in ‘Blind Married’. at VTM.
On Monday we saw in a preview that Karlien had doubts. The distance in particular – Thomas lives in Antwerp, she in Hasselt – had something to do with it. But, as Selena Gomez sings, the heart wants what it wants. So Karlien said yes after all. And fortunately Thomas too.
‘Yes to the rest of our lives’
In the former provincial council building in Hasselt, the couple looked back on the past six intense weeks together. Thomas, who brought sunflowers for his wife, was the first to take the initiative and was the first to look into his heart.
‘During the last two weeks my feelings towards you only increased. I noticed that I smiled when I thought about you and I got people commenting that I was beaming when I talked about you. I really enjoy being with you and I have already felt your care and warmth several times‘, it sounded.
I noticed that I smiled when I thought about you and people commented that I beamed when I talked about you.
‘It felt a bit strange not to be with you for the past three days and not to be in contact. I missed you,” admitted Thomas, who works as a staff member at the Local Sports Policy Network in Sint-Niklaas.
‘Dear Karlien, I came here today to say yes in a curious way. Yes to you, yes to everything that makes you the wonderful woman that you are. And yes to tomorrow, next week, next month and, who knows, the rest of our lives.’
From difficult beginnings to laughing every day
Fortunately, Karlien reciprocated Thomas’ feelings a few minutes later. ‘I got to know you as someone sweet, gentle, honest and sincere. With a dose of humor. Good humor, I’ll leave that aside for now,” she joked. ‘You are always yourself, don’t care much about what others think, are adventurous, smart and sporty. With a wonderful curiosity for new things, a love for music and a passion for delicious food.’
You have occasionally pulled me out of my comfort zone and given me peace when I needed it.
‘For me, our adventure had a difficult beginning, but thanks to the space and time you gave me, your trust, honesty and openness, I was able to open up. This allowed me to enjoy every moment and especially have fun with you, we had a good laugh every day,” says the Hasselt occupational therapist.
‘You have occasionally pulled me out of my comfort zone and given me peace when I needed it. I am very proud of the journey we have completed together and would like to thank you for this. Finally, there is one more thing left for me, perhaps the most important thing. Now I say not devoteebut a resounding yes to continue on an adventure with you and discover where all this will take us.’
You will discover whether Thomas and Karlien are still a couple four months after their decision-making moment, and whether Jonas & Britt and Jorina & Jidse are still together, on Monday, December 9 at 8:40 PM in the last episode of ‘Blind Getrouwd’ on VTM and VTM GO .
