Getting the wedding outfits was one of the most important tasks for engaged couples in completing the wedding preparations. The eighth episode started with female participants visiting the venue to select their wedding gowns. Later on, they also tried out their wedding outfits with their family members beside them.

There was Dounia alongside her mother. Asma came to pick up her wedding day outfit with her sister Nihal.

"Asma and I, I mean, we're not just sisters. We're best friends. So I would have never missed something like that. I had to be there regardless," confessed Nihal.

Asma was thinking about her parents, who were "overwhelmed" by the idea of her getting married in such an experiment. She shared how her parents were not "on board" with her decision.

As they started picking out their wedding dress, Safa and her mother joined them. However, Love is Blind: Habibi star could not pick any wedding dress because she didn't know which style she wanted.

The remaining two brides, Asma and Dounia, found their dresses and were overjoyed for the upcoming wedding ceremony.

Similarly, in Love is Blind: Habibi, male cast members viz. Chafic, Mohammed, and Khatab went to try on their prepared wedding suits. They were thinking about their fiance getting the wedding dresses.

Knowing about Safa's particular choices, Mohammed shared how he was more worried about Safa choosing her dress than his suit. He was rightly concerned because, as he suspected, Safa couldn't find her "the one" dress.

The next segment featured events two days before the wedding on Love is Blind: Habibi. The couples had a chance to go on a final date with their partner as a single individual.

For that, Chafic planned a surprise lunch date for Dounia.

"I thought, I'm going to book a Moroccan restaurant, and we'll have lunch together," shared Chafic.

They had a nice time together, where Dounia explained various Moroccan dishes as their date continued.

For Safa and Mohammed, they had their final date before their wedding on a yacht.

"I've prepared the date for Safa to go around on the boat with a cheese platter and the fruits that she likes. To have a talk in a totally different atmosphere," shared Mohammed.

Safa described him as "very warm," and they enjoyed their time together at the sea.

As for Asma and Khatab, the latter planned to express his "real feelings" to his fiance. Since Khatab knew about Asma's parents and that they might not attend the wedding, he assured her that everything would be fine. She also shared how Khatab made her feel "heard and seen" and "safe."

The next day, female participants attended the Henna party, where Dounia wore a Moroccan-style white dress everyone liked and appreciated.

"In Saudi Arabia, where I come from, on the henna night, the bride is the princess. At the same time, I wanted to add a Moroccan touch with my outfit to show that I have two sides," confessed Dounia.

The females talk about their different backgrounds, costumes, and traditions of their cultures and how they are excited yet scared to get married. They also applied Henna, and there was a palm reader whom Dounia visited.

Later, Safa's mother performed some traditional ceremonies which everyone was fascinated to witness, including Safa herself.

The male cast members underwent various grooming procedures and had a relaxing massage, followed by a live musical surprise from their friends.
