When Lauren And Cameron Proved Love Truly Is Blind
The top of the year kicked off with Netflix going on a quest to find out if love really was blind. Participants agreed to date and possibly get engaged on a reality show without ever seeing their potential partner. Each of the pods presented were entertaining (we’re still laughing about Carlton’s shade) but it was Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton who made us believe in blind courtship. The couple fell in love before our eyes and recently celebrated two years of marriage. “It’s overwhelming, to be honest,” Speed told ESSENCE. “But I just feel so blessed and happy that everyone’s giving us words of encouragement and support, saying we inspire them. I’m talking all over the world.”
