Backing out on a wedding last minute can seem like a pretty reckless decision. Usually, you (or your family) have put down non-refundable deposits, notified the community, and bought some slick new duds. But marrying the wrong person just because some people spent some money is an even more reckless decision. 

Nobody knows this quite like the producers of Love is Blind. The couples (who met sight unseen in separate pods) make it to the altar, in their wedding whites, surrounded by friends and family, without knowing whether or not their beloved will say yes. And often they don't. They will let them go through their vows, say "I Do" and then say "I Don't" right back to them. It makes for riveting television, of course, but pretty dramatic interpersonal situations. But they're not alone. A recent Twitter thread brought together a group of folks who are all for the last-minute Graduate-style ditch. But did they find fairytale endings anyway? Read on for the stories.
