“We went to motels even when we were married in search of privacy. He asked me to marry him on the plane, while I was numb from drugs. I said to him: ‘Are you stupid?'”: confessions of Benedetta Parodi and Fabio Caressa

This was an unexpected confession Blessed Parody And Fabio Caressaa solid couple of thirty years, three children and an eventful life, which will debut on December 1 along with the host of the new reality show Netflix. It’s called Is love blind? it is a successful format in many countries around the world, and the protagonists are twenty-eight contestants who will be put into a series of pods (capsules connected to each other where they can communicate but cannot see each other). There they will tell about their lives, then they will choose each other and after the first meeting there will even be a blind wedding. A very extreme story of love at first sight 2.0, told by a (turned out) very normal couple. Even if there are many unexpected violations such as, in fact, running away to motels even when married.

He never asked meCaressa explained: “I asked him, I thought: I’ll take advantage of him and I threw it out there: ‘Look, what if we get married?’. He never answered.

Which ends with a wish, namely LIs love blind? was “finally the start of a career together”.
