The couple opens up about what it was like to retrieve love on the Netflix show — and the surprising expectations that add up with it .
On the morning of Brett Brown and Tiffany Pennywell-Brown’s wedding day, a train that runs from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle passed by Tiffany’s window just as she was about to start getting ready.
“Today is magical,” she says in the episode. “My head is in the clouds.”
It ’s raging to realize that this couple will celebrate their two - year day of remembrance in May . Since their engagement in the pod , Tiffany and Brett have traveled a lot . ( They have an approaching stumble to Japan , which has been on Brett ’s bucket list . ) They ’ve spent a good deal of date nights at their favourite eating place around Portland . And they ’ve persist in to determine more about each other . ( Brett ’s a huge picture show caramel , and Tiffany loves Soca medicine and telling along with Beyoncé . )
Fans have lauded their marriage as an example of true Black love, and still cheer for the couple and their beautiful relationship on social media. On reality dating shows, viewers often miss out on seeing authentic connections between Black partners, and Tiffany and Brett helped fill that void.
HuffPost verbalize to the Browns about their first two old age of union , the surprising thing they ’ve get word about each other since the pods and how their parent showed them examples of forever sexual love .
Tell me a little bit about how your marriage has been since we last saw you on theLove Is Blind: After the Altarspecial.
What would you say are the best parts of being married to each other?
TPB : It ’s just having somebody that I feel like I can trust whole and can completely rely on . I love how we think and babble out through things . I remember we ’re a short different in some ways , but I just feel like Brett just kind of equilibrize me out . So that ’s what I would say has been majuscule about our spousal relationship , especially ’cause of how we got married , like so quick . Things can go either way , and I ’m glad to say that it ’s just gotten respectable and better the longer that we ’ve been married .
BB : Yeah , I agree with everything Tiffany just enjoin . Having a spouse through everything has been big for me . I was undivided for a long fourth dimension before going onLove Is Blindand meeting Tiffany , and remember back , there were a draw of things that I did as an individual and experience like traveling that I did as an individual , and it ’s so much well to experience things with your person . So like me and Tiffany , thankfully we travel so well together . And like she was say , she poise me out as well . I entail , I ’m probably a petty more buttoned up and not as easy as Tiffany is in some things . I ’m really kind of focused , like , “ Hey babe , you got ta do this , you got ta do that , and this , and … ” [ Laughs ]
TPB : He ’s a very creditworthy individual , but that ’s what I love about him too . [ Laughs ]
BB : Yeah , I ’m like responsible to a fault , so Tiffany kind of balances me to be like , “ Brett , shiver . ” Like , “ Hey , it ai n’t that serious , babe . ” And I ’m like , “ OK , you ’re right . ”
It’s funny you mention that, because that’s one of the things I think about when rethinking about the show ― and obviously, on your wedding day, Brett had a huge tailoring emergency and I was like, OK, this gives us a really good window into his personality. So it’s good to know that you can balance that out with each other.
What have you learned about each other that maybe audiences haven’t seen since the cameras went away?
I need to know, Brett, who are your favorite people to impersonate, or films that you love to watch that you know all the words to?
And then, Tiffany, who are some of your favorite artists? Who do you like to sing?
So many fans of the show, like myself, were so happy to see you guys say “I do,” and especially to just see a Black love story on a reality dating show. Have either of you felt any pressure to kind of live up to the audience’s expectations of your relationship?
Absolutely. For each of you, what are some of the lessons you learned from your parents’ marriages?
What, if any, challenges have you had in your ― what, almost two years of marriage? And how did you help each other overcome them?
Obviously you guys didn’t meet in a traditional way, but were there ways that you approach your post-marriage life differently than someone who met on an app or met in real life and got married over time?
BB : The only departure that I feel is really being aware of how long we ’ve in reality known each other . So there have been times where like , if me and Tiff are talking about something or there ’s a mistake , and I ’m like , “ Babe , we got ta give each other some grace here , because we ’ve know each other for under two twelvemonth . ” And most people would probably see for two years before they even get engaged , and they could be engaged for however long before they get marry , so by the clock time they get get hitched with , they got old age and years in the plot . So giving each other grace when there ’s something that is misunderstood , because we ’re still very young in our relationship at the end of the day .
TPB : Yeah . It ’s almost like we ’re just doing everything in reverse gear . That stage before we have each other ’s speech sound number . [ Laughs ]
BB : Or even get word our Instagram .
Absolutely. All right, I just have two final quick questions for you both, and then we’ll hop off. If you were asked to star in your own reality show, what would you want that to look like?
I mean, I saw you all in theSquid Gameuniforms on your Instagram pages.
What would be your advice for other Black singles who are thinking about going on a reality dating show, whetherLove Is Blindor any other series?
