Season 8 of 90 Day Fiancé has been filled with drama and couple complications, as the fate of several couples hangs in limbo. However, the last episode of the hit TLC show saw three couples tying the knot to the delight of their fans. Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina were one of the joyous couples to make things official in a beautiful ceremony that bonded the young couple and guaranteed that Julia could stay in the United States with her love. Though Brandon has received criticism from fans for his immaturity, many were quick to celebrate his wedding photo on Instagram.
Brandon and Julia have been forced to keep their relationship status secret for the past year as they waited for their romance to play out on television. The American and Russian couple can finally reveal that their love story did lead to happy wedding bells. After contending with Brandon’s overbearing and intrusive parents all season, Julia was treated to a surprisingly sweet show of support from her in-laws on her wedding day. Parents Betty and Ron made sure to digitally include Julia’s Russian family in the ceremony as Brandon and Julia vowed to love each other with heartfelt words. Meanwhile, Brandon finally made an effort to make the day special for Julia by reading Russian wedding vows to his wife.
While Julia became a fast fan-favorite cast member, Brandon has been met with more critical response. Many viewers have called for the 28-year-old to mature and move away from his mama’s boy depiction. However, critics appeared to have put their negativity aside when Brandon shared a sweet wedding photo of himself and Julia to his Instagram account following Sunday night’s celebratory episode. “We did it,” he captioned the shot of him and Julia on the church steps. Julia wowed in white to make for a beautiful bride, while Brandon cleaned up nicely in a suit. Julia flooded the comments with hearts and shared a beautiful picture of their wedding to her own account.
Julia was not the only cast member to respond to Brandon’s picture. Fellow season 8 American fiancé Jovi Dufren shared some words of his own in the comments. “Congratulations guys!! To the most beautiful couple ever from Russia and America,” Jovi wrote. Though Jovi’s relationship with Yara Zaya is currently complicated on 90 Day Fiancé, Yara and Julia have revealed themselves to be fast friends. Support came in from other franchise cast members including Rebecca Parrott, David Toborowsky, Vanessa Guerra and Kenneth Niedermeier. Meanwhile, many fans appeared thrilled to see Brandon and Julia happily profess their love to each other after a season of drama from all of the couples.
“Honey you’re by far the sweetest most sincere and happiest groom,” one fan started her lengthy comment. “Your wedding vows were tender and loving. Julia was such a gorgeous bride. True Love 100%.” Many fans reacted positively to the couple’s wedding vows, which featured Julia saying hers in English and Brandon reciting his in Russian. “Omg!!! It turned out so beautiful!!!” another fan wrote before comparing Brandon to Tom Cruise in the film Risky Business. “Congratulations!! So happy for you both. You two are the cutest,” another happy fan wrote.
It hasn’t been an easy season for Brandon and Julia, though the sweet couple has received a happy ending to their on-screen love story. The season started with drama, as Brandon’s parents pressured Julia into abiding by their rigid rules and working on their farm despite her discomfort. Meanwhile, Brandon’s apparent immaturity and dark-humored jokes on social media have not been well-received by fans. However, there is a chance that Brandon and his parents have simply received a bad edit. Julia’s social media depicts a happy love story with her American husband that many fans are thrilled to see. Brandon and Julia are one season 8 90 Day Fiancé couple who appear overjoyed to be together.
90 Day Fiancé airs Sundays at 8pm ET on TLC.
