Leading into Wednesday’s finale, the Islanders were given full-sized notebooks to write their 60 second speeches, also know as their Declaration of Love or as we like to call them, Vows-Lite. The men and women spent their final day in the Villa separated while they completed their virtual-school English essay and got pampered even more than normal. Surprisingly, Carrington and Laurel did not use this opportunity to call out Cely and Johnny for trying to vote them off. How did this not come up?Finally, it was time for producers to exhaust what was left in this season’s massive candle budget to create a romantic setting for the couples to publicly state their feelings for their partner. Commitment ranged from "chasing moments" to preparing for a lifetime together, so at least there was a bit of variety.[video_embed id='2045869']ICYMI: The final four couples go on epic last dates and Jaleb drops those three little words [/video_embed]Gotta say, these Islanders clean up nice. ? #LoveIslandUSA pic.twitter.com/7bJJ99rdHd

After being crowned the winners, Caleb was handed the $100,000 envelope and obviously split the money with Justine. We may not have seen an island, but we definitely saw love. In a post-show interview shared on Twitter, Justine said she wanted to give some of the money to her mom and use some for a date with Caleb. Caleb agreed and they revealed they're headed straight out of the Villa for a meal of milkshakes and cheesy bread. Before signing off, Caleb addressed the audience (that's us! heeey!) that voted for them."Our love is genuine; our love is authentic; our love is patient; our love is kind," he said. "There has been a lot of stuff going on in the world around us and our love is unapologetically Black so thank you, America, for loving our love."You loved me and in turn reminded me how to love myself. ? #LoveIslandUSA pic.twitter.com/t4DAJekPJR
