Jarrette Jones and Iyanna McNeely have a rough journey to the altar on Love Is Blind season 2. Even the path to their engagement isn't smooth. Though they immediately like each other, Jarrette also builds a connection with Mallory Zapata. He shares that his choice changes day by day in the confessionals, saying at one point, "Right now it's Iyanna. Yesterday it was Mallory. It's tough." 

Eventually, he asks Mallory about her feelings, and she admits that she was "more drawn to" someone else. Though the pseudo-breakup leaves him in tears, Jarrette says he still envisions "what marriage would be like" with Iyanna. He proposes, and she says yes. In Mexico, she admits that she's scared of feeling like a second choice, but also that she feels "really comfortable" and "protected" by him. They leave the vacation with a stronger bond.

They're also very different people. Iyanna doesn't believe in staying friends with exes, but Jarrette stays friends with his exes, and even has a long talk with Mallory during a party in Mexico. Iyanna's more of an introvert, and Jarrette goes out on Tuesday nights. Do they commit to each other and make it work despite all of that?

Did Iyanna and Jarrette get married?

Yes! In one of the loveliest parts of the season, Iyanna and Jarrette have a sweet and completely drama-free wedding day. When asked at the altar if love is truly blind, Iyanna replies, "It better be." Asked if they take each other as man and wife, and Jarrette says, "I do, I do, I do"; Iyanna says, "I do."

In a post-wedding confessional, Jarrette says, "I just married the woman of my dreams. I'm f***ing... I'm on top of the world right now. Cloud nine. I met my damn wife through a wall....I'm a married man. I'm a husband."

Iyanna says, "This is the beginning of our journey. We have so much more to do, but, God, this is a great start."

Are Iyanna and Jarrette still together now?

Yes! Not only are they still together, and have been married for close to a year now—which we finally found out at the reunion show—they filmed a video for Marie Claire's "How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star" series:

"Seeing the growth from where we were eight months ago to where we are now, I think that's been the most rewarding thing about being married and being this happy couple," Iyanna shared in the video. You crazy kids, this is true love!
