Why it matters

Vic and Christine's story has resonated with viewers, as they were the first to find love in the pods on the hit Netflix series. Their decision to spend their honeymoon in Malibu rather than Mexico with the rest of the cast provides insight into the dynamics of their relationship and the production choices behind the show.

The details

After getting engaged in the pods, Vic and Christine did not join the rest of the Love Is Blind season 10 cast on their honeymoon trip to Mexico. Instead, they spent their romantic getaway in Malibu, which was documented through self-taped clips. The production team chose to send them to Malibu because they saw something special in the couple's relationship, even without the cameras. Vic and Christine say this mirrored the true nature of their connection, which was built on a shared faith and strong foundation.

“Even that sliver was very much a mirror of what our relationship was like in the pods and post-pods, to the point where we ended up going to Malibu because the production team and the whole nine were like, 'Oh, we see something here, even cameras aside, and we want to send you off on a trip. Do you want to do it?' ”
