All language subtitles for Married At First Sight AU S12E02.en

NARRATOR: Previously...
Cheers, boys.

Cheers!

To getting married!

..the Married at First Sight
experiment...

(CHEERING)
(GLASS BREAKS)

..kicked off with a bang.

I just wanted to let everyone know
that I'm here.

I've arrived.

NARRATOR: It was a case
of married at second sight

for Carina and Paul.

What the (BLEEP)?

NARRATOR: But their undeniable
chemistry quashed any hesitation

for the loved-up pair...

It just feels like the universe
is actually giving us

or giving me that chance again.

..and despite his rigid list
of non-negotiables...

If I feel nothing on my wedding day,
I'll leave the experiment.

..demanding groom, Eliot,
seemed happy with his bride, Lauren.

No runaway groom.

NARRATOR: Tonight...

Eliot?

..Eliot's shock change of heart.

There was definitely things
on my non-negotiables.

I wanted someone that
was younger than me.

NARRATOR: Plus, two more
unforgettable weddings.

Is that a neck tatt?

Oh, yes!

Sorry, Dad.

NARRATOR: After ten years
of being single,

this brave bride is finally
putting her heart on the line.

It's everybody's dream
to find their person

and to live happily ever after.

NARRATOR: But will this leap of faith
find her true love?

As Australia's biggest social
experiment continues...

..newlyweds Carina and Paul
have flown overnight

to their exotic honeymoon destination

and are beginning their first day
together as husband and wife.

Morning. (CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)

Waking up on our honeymoon
this morning in Vanuatu

is just very special. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah. Fate has brought
us back together.

Absolutely. Yeah.

It feels like we are being
given a second chance.

Ideally, I would love to just
lie down by the beach there,

get a bit of a tan.
And eat.

And eat.

Eat lots of...
Lots of food.

(LAUGHS)
Cocktails.

Yeah, at the moment, yeah.

Carina is actually ticking
every every single box.

I'm on cloud nine at the moment,
to be honest,

so I hope that our honeymoon is just
going to bring us closer together.

It's so nice.

There was no intimacy last night.
No.

Just a few cuddles
and a nice kiss.

There's no questions from my end
about giving him a second chance.

But it does feel like the sexual
chemistry is growing,

and I'm just feeling really happy.

And I haven't felt this
in a very long time.

NARRATOR: Back in Sydney,
Lauren and Eliot are waking up

to a cold and dreary morning.

But it's not just the weather
that's taken a turn.

Eliot is in no rush to embrace
the first day of married life.

Eliot?

Eliot?

NARRATOR: When Eliot first entered
the experiment,

he made his intentions very clear.

If I feel nothing on my wedding
day, I'll leave the experiment.

I wouldn't even
finish the ceremony.

NARRATOR: He arrived

with an exhaustive list
of non-negotiables.

I want someone that's feminine,
classy, wholesome,

as well as the other, you know,
checklists that I've got

and getting them all to line up.

If you've got this long list
of criteria

and you're very picky and you live
inside your head,

you rule people out.

Married at first Sight
is not a box-ticking exercise.

So, what interests me is that
if we match you with someone

who ticks most of the boxes, would
you be prepared to commit to it?

Yeah, 100%. Yeah.

NARRATOR: But less than 24 hours
after meeting Lauren...

You sure you don't want a coffee?

I'm good for now.
OK.

..Eliot has doubts
about his marriage.

There was definitely things
on my non-negotiables, right...

..that don't line up.

"Good morning, newlyweds.

"Get ready to immerse
yourself in the natural splendour

"and extravagance of K'gari."

Lovely. Where's that?

Yeah, I have no idea.

Hopefully, it's not far.

I did say I wanted someone
that was younger than me.

That was a non-negotiable, right?

Um, probably someone under 30.

Um...

Yeah, I'm not into, like, luxury
luggage and, you know,

super fancy restaurants
or anything like that.

So, how many of these are coming?

So, just these two.

And, yeah, those sort
of things are little differences

that I think can
have a meaningful impact.

Can't forget my earrings.

In some ways, you could say she...

There's some superficiality there.

Yeah.

I couldn't wear them yesterday

'cause we all had matching
earrings.

They're pearls.

I don't want to use the term
red flag,

but, you know, like I want someone

that's, you know, not really
a career person.

Um...

I know. Yeah, I know.

I just know.

I don't want to compromise
on my values.

Your outfit's on brand.

I actually am like
matching my luggage.

I'm not willing to,
no matter who's asking.

NARRATOR: With a question mark
looming over Eliot's commitment...

..two more couples
have been matched...

..and we're about to meet
a highly successful businesswoman

who's seeking a soulmate.

Nice, eh?

"Eh?" That's so Queenslander.

"Eh?" (LAUGHS)

I'm a Queenslander too.

I'm Katie. I'm 37 and I'm from
Eumundi, Queensland.

My work is running a social
enterprise restaurant chain.

We split our profits, helping
others who are really doing it tough

and help them
with emergency food,

emergency housing.

They can learn about
how to become a cook, or a chef

or a barista and change their life.

I like to do things
with heart and empathy

and understanding, you know?

Doesn't take much to help.

Yeah.

Something to let you guys know,

it's actually not business related
for once in the last decade.

Oh, that's good, that's exciting.
Yeah.

Going overseas?

Not quite.

I'm actually going to get married
on MAFS.

What...
..to a stranger.

(LAUGHTER)

(INDISTINCT)
So, they found a fellow?

Yes. I know it's hard to believe.

You don't have to laugh so much.

(LAUGHTER)
That's good.

That's wonderful.

Come from a farming family.

My parents are so awesome together.

We'll have it on the farm
down in front of the dam.

Well, that's an option.

They have battled through
tough times year after year,

drought and everything.

Yet they're still so much in love.

I want that same amount
of love with someone.

Coming into this, I'm actually,
like, super terrified.

Like, definitely scared
of being rejected.

I'm used to people like
not being attracted to me.

I know I'm not, like, perfect

in comparison to like a Victoria's
Secret supermodel

or anything like that.
Oh, please!

But...
Who says that the Victoria's Secret

supermodels are perfect?

True.
Please give me a break.

I have a very distinct memory
of being in the pool in a bikini

with family and friends,

and my ex was there
looking down on me

and asking me like,
can I lose some weight?

He did what?
My god. Yeah.

And then I was... I really felt
like so destroyed

and so ashamed.

I was not getting
out of that pool.

Who's to say that you,
with all your curves

and all your all of you, is not
perfectly sexy and beautiful?

You have light all around you.

Thank you. Yeah.

For the first time, I feel
like I'm stepping forward

as somebody who deserves
love and is ready for it.

I love that.

I've been single for ten years

and I don't know how to get
into a relationship.

So, yeah, why not just marry
him straight off the bat?

I'm hoping for a success story.

I would really love to meet
somebody who accepts me for me.

I want to find my person.

I just want a nice guy,
a kind person.

I have found that nice guys
finish last.

But I'm hoping this person
will change that

and want the nice guy.

I'm Tim, I'm 38 years old.

I'm a PE teacher.

Being single is definitely tough
the older I've got.

My friends being settled down
and working with kids

and seeing parents
pick up their kids

and that's the part in my life
that's missing.

I want to take
my own kids to school.

I'm ready to be a great
husband and a great dad.

I don't have, like, a big
preconceived idea of looks,

so I want someone who's
comfortable in their own skin

and knows who they are.

No, I don't have a perceived type.

So, yeah, just a natural
looking woman

who's confident in their own body.

Looks fade and definitely
the personality,

like, you just want that person
you can have banter with

all the time and that makes
you laugh and makes you smile.

I definitely believe
in this experiment

and I'm definitely coming
with an open mind.

Falling in love would just be
the missing piece of my life

and it'd be everything to me.

Tim is the self-described nice guy
who's going to give it his all,

and I think that's exactly
what Katie needs.

Tim works with kids, really wants
to start a family of his own,

and so does Katie.

I think they would be really
well matched in that sense.

You know, Tim is getting
exactly what he has asked for.

He wants someone who's family
orientated,

who has a great personality,

sociable, who is also ambitious.

Katie is such a catch.

Not only is she this kind,
compassionate, interesting woman,

but she's accomplished.
She's independent.

She's got everything sorted
in her life except for love.

I think the whole of Australia
is going to fall in love with her,

and let's hope that Tim does too.

NARRATOR: With Katie and Tim matched,

next to enter the experiment
is a shy groom

who is the embodiment of the saying,
"Never judge a book by its cover."

I'm six-foot-six,
covered in tattoos.

I'm 118 kilos.

I mean, you're so tall.

I have to move this back. Hang on.
Readjust.

No.
(LAUGHTER)

I'm Dave, I'm 36
and I'm from Melbourne.

People on the street,
when they see me for the first time,

I feel like they have
the assumption

that, you know, I'm trouble
or just steer clear of him.

But I couldn't be, like,
further away from that.

I'm actually really reserved,

and like a bit insecure as well.

You're a big guy.

You're very tall.

You're covered in tattoos.

It's a very particular look.

It can be a look that
intimidates certain people.

Have you found that
to be controversial

or to somehow work against you?

It happens every day.

Like, I can be walking
down the street,

but, you know, I can...
I do the kind thing.

I hold the door or something
like that for someone,

and they smile and that
gives me a good feeling.

The best part is I get
to witness a change.

People's thoughts change.

Dave is the big friendly giant.

He may seem intimidating
at first,

and he can come across as being
very confident,

but actually he's very shy
and reserved

when it comes to meeting girls.

Um, I mean, I don't really go
up to girls when I go out.

I feel like that the confident ones
do come up to me,

which is nice.

It makes the conversation
sort of easier to navigate.

The biggest thing I want
in a relationship

is to feel seen
and heard and accepted.

I want someone who is good for me,

someone who can help me come
out of my shell a bit more.

And have my back
and do all these things,

and that's the that's
the perfect person

and have a laugh.

It's not rocket science, really.

It's not, I just want someone
to connect with and...

..have fun.

That's it.

What is it that you need?

I need someone where
I can just be myself.

I want to keep my identity.

I don't want to, you know,
stop going to Pilates

because a man's come into my life.

Like, I don't...

Core is important.

I need my arse
to stay where it is before I...

Before it falls to my ankles.

(LAUGHTER)

I'm Jamie, I'm 28.
I'm from Melbourne.

I literally walked away
from a conversation

I was having with someone.

I'm like, "I'm not that Greek."

And then my dad is calling me
and we're getting into a domestic

about bringing a spit
up to a family vacation house

that we're renting.

And I'm like, I take it back.

We're Greek.
We are Greek as (BLEEP).

My dad prays every single week
that I find a husband

who is some good Greek boy.

You know, his father is respected
in the community.

But like I want a husband
that is a cross between...

..David Beckham

and someone who's done 20 to life.

Dad, I've got some news.

What?

I'm getting married next month.

That's a joke.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's a real, real joke.

I'm getting married.

OK, stop.

No!
Dad! Dad!

No, Dad! Dad! Dad!

I promise. (SPEAKS GREEK)
I'm telling the truth.

Mum, I'm marrying a stranger.

What do you mean?
I'm actually going on MAFS.

(BLEEP)
No. What? Mum.

(LAUGHTER)

I look at the portfolio of men that
I've personally selected myself,

and I think even, you know,
God himself is probably like,

let someone else, you know,
take the wheel on this.

What do what does
that wrong type look like?

I've definitely had emotionally
unavailable people.

Mm-hm.

We've had the narcissists,
the love bombers, the ghosters.

(LAUGHS) I don't know, I'm done
with the toxic.

I want a nice man
to have children with.

Can I get my red flag list?

There's just so many. Men that take
more selfies than me.

They're in Crocs.
Don't drink coffee.

Men that drive hatchbacks.

He needs to shower all the time.

He needs to smell fresh.

My nose. It's not just big.

It works.

I can smell everything.

My personality is huge.

It's a big personality.

And I'm like someone who's...

Yeah, like, I'm not afraid
to express myself.

Looks or personality?

Personalities overrides all,
obviously.

Especially if they've got
a big personality,

that makes, you know, that's
so attractive, so attractive.

My type would have to be
European looking and shortish.

You know, someone like a bit built,

tattoos, like, you know, just
like...

But like the softies though,

like, they look - they've got
a bit of a hard exterior,

but they're soft inside.

I like that.

I want to be able to build
the life for a family,

and like, I want to be
with someone

who wants to do the simpler things
in life.

I want to make pancakes
for someone Sunday mornings.

That's what life's about.

Jamie and Dave.

Opposites attract.

Well, let's talk Jamie.

The pocket rocket, the firecracker.

Beneath that loud, gregarious
exterior,

there's someone
with a really soft heart.

She's dated guys
who were toxic in the past.

So, what she's going to be
looking for here is someone

to really accept her as she is,

to nurture her, to support her,
to lift her up

and allow her to be the one
in the spotlight

rather than try and change her,

and I think Dave's
just the person for that.

He's a guy that wants
to protect and look after,

which I think Jamie will love.

Dave really needs a confident,
extroverted woman

to bring him out of his shell
and make him feel comfortable.

This couple is going to bring
a lot of fun to this experiment.

I'm really excited
about these two.

At the end of the day,
Jamie will bring the spark

and Dave will be the rock.

NARRATOR: Now that the experts
have matched Jamie and Dave

and Katie and Tim...

..the countdown has begun
to the biggest day of their lives.

And Katie is taking
the first exciting step.

Wedding dress shopping
with her bridesmaids.

Hi.

Big mix of emotion.

Showing the girls some dresses.

Um, it's just, like, really
weird to imagine myself, like,

actually walking down
a real aisle

towards, like, a real human man
who's there for me.

It's like an actual
wedding dress.

I'm so excited for her.
I'm so excited. Holy.

(MUSIC SWELLS)

(GASPS AND LAUGHTER)

Wow! Katie!

This is fairytale business.

I love this.

It's pretty.

It was actually beautiful to see
that transformation.

She looked amazing.

She looked absolutely amazing.

That suits you so much.

That is absolutely beautiful.
It's really nice.

(LAUGHS) Far out!

You look gorgeous.

Katie needs someone who
actually sees Katie for who she is

in all of her beauty,
both inside and out.

So, I'm really excited to
see what they've come up with

as a match for Katie, because
she's pretty hard to beat.

(LAUGHS)

(QUIETLY) Oh, shit.

Katie's got such a big,
beautiful heart.

And it's... Yeah. So open.

(SNIFFLES)

(BLEEP)

I want it to be the experience that,
yeah, she deserves it to be, right?

Yeah.

It's like it's not supposed
to happen this way, right?

You're meant to fall in love
and then do it.

But nobody fell in love with me,
so I just feel like a fraud.

Because like, someone's
supposed to love you first.

And nobody loved me
enough to do this.

And now I have to trap
a stranger into it.

Like, that's like, this is meant
to be like a thing of love.

And it's not. Like, I don't
even know the guy.

He's a complete stranger.

I do want to find love.

It makes me scared.

And then just wearing this
is just freaking me out.

'Cause it's really pretty.

TIM: I think it's crazy to actually
say that it's my wedding day.

It's definitely really exciting.

It's something that I've
wanted for a long time.

Just trying not to
get too stressed.

You're looking sharp though.
Yeah, you're looking good.

Loving the three-piece.

Yeah. Thanks.

I don't have any family
coming today,

but I've got my two groomsmen,
Jesse and Luke.

Lovely.

I really want this
to work for Tim.

I think he absolutely
deserves love.

Tim deserves the world

like he's one of the most genuine
people that I've ever met.

I'm probably excited now,
but I think that moment

when she walks down the aisle,
that's when it's going to hit me.

Yeah.

I'm trying not to over think it.

I'm definitely
keeping an open mind.

You're doing well.

Alright, thank - I appreciate
you being here.

NARRATOR: As Tim readies himself
for the big day ahead...

..Katie's parents have arrived to
give the nervous bride some support.

(EXHALES)

I can't wait for
Katie to come out.

She's going to look amazing.

It's gonna be...
As long as you don't start crying.

No. Hold it in.
Hold it in.

(LAUGHTER)

I'm ready.

My mum and dad
are so awesome together.

They're each other's
ride-or-die,

and if I could find, like,
somebody who's like my dad,

who's such a good man...

..what a dream that would be.

Oh, my goodness!

Well, wow.

Wow! Katie, you look amazing.
Wow!

You look beautiful!

Oh, that looks - give us
a little cuddle.

Little cuddle.

Oh, Katie and her wedding dress
is just stunning.

She's a beautiful
woman inside and out.

Any long term
relationship advice?

Be nice. Be kind.

Be gentle and patient.

One lucky fella, I'd say.

Hopefully he realises
what he's got.

Oh!
Because we do.

And I'm not going to cry.
I'm not going to cry.

(LAUGHS)

You'll be fine.

You are a beautiful bride.

Thanks, Mum.
Yeah.

You guys are the best.

We are.
Thank - yes.

(LAUGHTER)

(EPIC SOUNDTRACK)

Oh, wow!

How nice.

What a lovely location.

Oh, how beautiful is this?

Hello. Hello.
Good, good.

Lovely day for a wedding.

Yes.

Very country wedding, isn't it?
(LAUGHS)

I'm a bit of a soft soul.

Fear that sometimes I can
be too much the nice guy.

So, I'm hoping my wife will see
that as a really good quality.

I want a nice guy.

I want someone considerate,
somebody who's like, kind

and caring.

And I want to be loved.

Hello, everyone. Nice to meet.
Thanks for coming.

Lovely to meet you all. Hello.
Lovely to meet you.

I'm Tim. Nice to meet you.

G'day, Tim.
Yeah, hi, Tim.

Nice to meet you.

You'll be right.

Thanks so much.

He does.

I'm really, really, really,
really hoping this works.

And finding my person like, yeah.

It's everything.

(MUSIC BUILDING)

I want to feel like
finally somebody gets me.

It's very important that
I find someone

that wants to be in something
with me.

It's everybody's dream, right?

To find their person
and to live

like, happily ever after
with somebody.

It would mean everything
that this works.

(EPIC SOUNDTRACK SWELLS)

Hello. How are you?

Hello. Lovely to meet you. I'm Tim.
I'm Katie.

Nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you.

You look beautiful.
Lovely to meet you.

Oh, thank you!

Oh, dear!

(LAUGHTER)

Nice to meet you, so...
Likewise. Yeah.

What's your name again?
Tim.

Tim. Tim. Tim. Tim.
And you're...

Katie.
Katie. Lovely to meet you.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Nice to meet you, Tim.

You doing alright?

Nah. You?

(LAUGHTER)

You doing alright?
Yeah. Getting there.

You seem calm.

Trying to be, trying to be.
I like that.

Seems so lovely.

He seems so like calm
and tranquil and kind and genuine.

I love his roughage.

His get-up all in there.

I love a, like, chunky guy.

I think he's hot.

Hello, everyone, and welcome
to the beautiful wedding

of Tim and Katie!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I'm so glad you're brave enough
to be here

and to be my partner in this wild
adventure called marriage.

I am a confident, strong,
purpose-driven and ambitious woman.

Basically, I'm a powerhouse wrapped
in a sexy, curvy package.

(LAUGHTER)

I've gone through a lot in my life,

and I've rebuilt my self-esteem on
the promise to never dull my shine.

I would never want you
to dull your shine for me.

In fact, let's ramp
that lever right up.

I'm not looking for perfection.

All I'm looking for
is a warm, squishy hug

at the end of the day.

A kind smile in the morning
and someone to go on hikes with.

I want to be proven that
the good guy is still out there

and that I've finally found him.

Who knows, we could be
the best thing

to ever happen to each other.

I'm here for the right reasons,
so please don't worry about that.

I also don't have any intentions
of doing an OnlyFans account.

(LAUGHTER)

I can't wait to see where
this journey takes us,

and I'm so glad you're brave
enough to do it with me.

Well done.

Thanks.
Great job. Well done.

(APPLAUSE)

Geez, hard act to follow.

In my search for love,
I have often been afraid

to let my guard down
and to show my true self.

But with you, I am determined
to be open and honest.

In the past, I've been labelled
the nice guy

and somehow that's been a negative.

But I want this to be something
that you love about me.

I already love that.

I believe in the experts,
and that they can find

the needle in a haystack that
I've always been searching for.

I'm a true romantic at heart.

I am someone who values honesty,
kindness, and resilience.

I'm willing to give my all
to this relationship,

including my heart.

If you are scared,
I'm here for a cuddle.

If you are upset, I'll be
your shoulder to cry on.

If you need a laugh, I'll give
you my best one-liners.

(LAUGHS) Nice!

So, let's laugh together.

Let's create countless memories
and let's be each other's rock.

(APPLAUSE)
There was a lot of parallels there.

Good job, buddy!

Awesome, mate. Well done.

Do you, Tim, take Katie
as a loving friend

and partner in marriage?

I do.

Do you, Katie, take Tim
as a loving friend

and partner in marriage?

I do.

Please put your hands together
as I present for the first time

as a married couple,

Katie and Tim!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I really like Tim.

I'm so glad he's a nice guy.

You may now share
your first kiss!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

It happened!

I'm feeling married. (LAUGHS)

So, yes, it's all positive.

(CROW CAWING)

(APPLAUSE MUTED)

Yeah, I'm not really
sure how to feel.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
We nailed it!

I just haven't got
that initial spark.

But she's lovely and so nice and...

Yeah, she's a beautiful girl.

But I just was surprised
I didn't have that initial spark.

But she's so lovely.

Just not normally the person...
Just a bit different

to what I normally go for.

But she's so lovely.

Scariest part done.

I didn't have that initial spark
with Katie.

But... Yeah.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDING)

NARRATOR: At Katie and Tim's
wedding,

things have taken an unexpected turn.

Tim has pulled a producer aside,
unhappy with his new bride.

I know, I know. I know.

NARRATOR: In the very heart of...
Georgia!

..town...
What do you want?

..getting ready for our next wedding,
is bride, Jamie...

Are you coming?

..and her sister, G...
Georgia!

..Geor...
Georgia! Come see what I look like!

..Georgia.

Can you tell we used to live
in a Greek household?

You get really good at screaming.

I can't believe it's
my wedding day today.

I just want to meet this guy.

What if he's, like, stunning?

Like, you walk down, you go,
"Phwoar."

Then I'm probably gonna be,
like, really self-conscious.

I want a husband that I'm just
as happy to see him

as I would, like, coconut water.

Like, I love coconut water,

and, like, you know,
when you look at your coconut water,

you go, "Thank (BLEEP) you're here,
like, thank god you're here."

I want that feeling
with my husband.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: For groom, Dave,
today is bittersweet

as he prepares for the biggest
day of his life

without his father by his side,

who's battling a serious
health issue.

My dad's in bed
pretty sick at the moment.

He's just started chemo
for the fourth time.

(LINE RINGING)

Yo!
Oh, damn!

How you going?

Yeah?
He's got no voice.

Oh, no.

It hits home when he's not
a part of something like this

because, yeah, he's one of
the most important people to me.

Just give me three
winks if you approve.

Thanks, mate. Well, I wish
you could be here.

I love you both very much.

Love you.
Good luck!

Yeah.

He's just as sick as I've
seen him in a while.

It's hard when you see
your parents like that.

He'll be right. We'll be right.

Soldier on.

Special day.

Life is damn quick and short.

I'm here for the right reasons.

I just want to fall in love.

I want to grow with someone.

And I want to share
my life with them.

One day I want to be the type
of dad my dad is to me.

Today means the world to me

because I have a big heart
and no one to give it to.

The personality, for me,
it's a big thing.

I hope my future wife,

she's fun and bubbly.

Someone who can help me come
out of my shell a bit more.

I want to see
a quirky side of her.

Oh, is that a bin chicken?

Oh! Oh, my god! Oh!

I've never seen a bin chicken
before.

It's actually in the bin!

Oh!

And I hope she feels comfortable
enough to let her personality out.

Coconut water!

There's stacks of it too!

Change is coming.
Yes!

It's great sign.
That's a good sign.

Great sign.

(EXCITING SOUNDTRACK BUILDS)

DAVE: I believe in love
at first sight.

I want to feel that today.

Hey, guys. How are you?

Sorry to keep you waiting, guys.

We're alright.

How are you?

Yep.

How are you going? I'm Dave.

Hello.

I'm her mum.

Vicki.

Vicki. Lovely to meet you,
Vicki.

Lovely to meet you too.

You look very handsome
in your suit.

Thank you very, very much.

You're welcome.

Hey, guys.

How are you?

I'm nervous. Very, very nervous.

I'm hoping that
the bride is amazing

and this is going to be,
you know, a forever thing.

My beautiful daughter
has made me so proud.

How's my princess?

Oh! Sorry. Sorry, you'll make
me cry.

Having my dad walk me down
the aisle means so much to me.

I know he's waited for a really
long time for this moment.

I know I'm quite a loud handful
of a person.

But there's so much genuine love
and warmth in -

Is that a neck tatt?

Oh, yes! Sorry, Dad.

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, my god. Yes!

Hey. How are you?

Hey. (LAUGHS)
How are you going?

What's your name?
Hi, I'm Jamie.

Jamie, how are you going?
Oh, my god!

And you're tall!

Dad, this is great. Thank you.

(LAUGHTER)

Sold. Sold.

Sold. Hi. I'm Jamie.

That's my family and friends.
Hi!

(LAUGHTER)

She's beautiful. Her eyes
are stunning.

She's gorgeous.

I was like tatts, tatts,
tatts, tatts.

Well, you got 'em.

Yes!
(LAUGHTER)

Yay!

And he's got nice teeth!
I like 'em.

Jamie.

I'm relieved. I'm instantly
relieved.

Alright, settle.

When he turned around
and you could see

like the tatts,
automatically, I was like, tick.

And I saw how tall he was. Tick.
I saw his physique. Tick.

God, OK. Yep.
And then he smiled.

Nice teeth.

Just like, whatever's going on
here, I'm very open to it,

so I'm liking it.

You look beautiful, by the way.
Oh, thank you.

You look stunning. Stunning.
You look handsome.

(LAUGHS) Look at your eyes.
They're stunning.

Amazing. She's stunning.
She's quirky.

Look at those toenails.
Yeah, I know.

I'm like trash bag nails.

These are like me being a wife.
Fluoro. I like it.

Yeah, that's a piece
of me right there.

(LAUGHS)

She's energetic. Me being
a bit nervous and reserved,

she made me feel comfortable,
which is cool.

Very stoked. Very, very happy.

I must admit, when I found
out there was a match for me,

I was genuinely shocked.

Either they found someone
as crazy as I am,

or there's a nice guy out there
about to get the shock of his life.

I know. Look for the exit.
(LAUGHTER)

And I couldn't be happier
to meet you.

Finding my someone to build
a life with

is something that I've always
wanted.

From this moment on,

I promise to be open,
honest and vulnerable with you.

I promise to share my true self
with all my quirks,

and there are a lot
of them, and imperfections,

and embrace yours
with an open heart.

I'm hopeful that you
are the person for me.

I'm excited to see where
this journey takes us.

That was so sweet. So good.
(APPLAUSE)

Thank you.

I wrote them myself.

Hey, I'm Dave, your big,
friendly giant,

soon to be husband.

I'd like to start off with these
vows that I put my heart into.

Having long arms and long legs,
big feet,

there's also something
big you can't see.

I've an extremely big... heart.

(LAUGHTER)

I was like, my dad is here!

(LAUGHS) Big heart, big heart,
big heart.

I never heard that.

I believe in love.

And I've been waiting my
whole life to meet my person.

In the past, I haven't connected
with partners on a deeper level.

I haven't felt that security
of knowing deep down

that the person
will always have your back.

I'm looking for that security
and I hope that's you.

I vow to be honest
and open with my feelings.

I vow to make you feel seen
and heard.

Love that.

I vow to be your biggest supporter
and always have your back,

whether it's cheering you on
or helping you through a tough time.

I'll be there for you.

Oh, yours are so sweet.

I put my heart into it.
That's so nice.

I love life and I can't
wait to share it with you.

I'll be your partner
through this.

Let's take on this
adventure together.

Heart to heart.

Take my hand.

And my last name's Hand.
So, we can walk hand to hand.

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE)

To have someone like her
stand there and be her bubbly self

and actually like me for who I am,

and not to worry
about being enough for her.

I know that she's happy,

and that's one of the main things
I was worried about.

So, I think there's a massive
spark there for both of us.

I'm glad that she is who she is.

I like her. She's fun.

And yeah, no, zero reservations.

I am delighted to declare
Dave and Jamie

as husband and wife.

You may now kiss each other.

I'm ready to jump
into this experiment.

I've - already, I can tell,
I can trust him.

It's not just... Like, again,
physical appearance is one thing.

That's the gateway. That makes
me feel a bit more calm.

But it's honestly,
it's his personality.

His personality is shining.

He's like really good there.
I like that.

The experts deserve
a bloody raise.

You know what?

There's every possibility
that can be the one.

He's way better than
anyone else I've dated.

So, off to a great start!

NARRATOR: Coming up...

Three, two, one, and...

Shall we hug so we can
get rid of the weird?

..to have and not to hold.

When you have somebody,
like, recoil,

it's a little concerning.

You're not, like, looking
for the exits yet?

NARRATOR: And a groom's
emotional speech.

JAMIE: He's baring his soul.

And it was so beautiful.

NARRATOR: The all important
photo shoots are underway...

I've got butterflies.

I swear to god.
Stop!

That looks nice.

..and it's the first chance
for the couples

to learn more about...

Do you have Crocs?
(LAUGHS)

..each other.

Wait, what? What is -
what are you...

You're straight Australian, correct?

Yeah.
Yeah.

What's your drink of choice?

Um...
I'm just a question person.

I just like to know
as much as I can.

Would you go to Pilates?

Wait, what siblings do you have?
Do you have siblings?

Wait, do you go out much?
No. Not really.

But, like, do you go to raves?
No.

But have you been to raves?
Um...

Wait, wait, when's your birthday?
Um...

Where do you do you think
we're going for our honeymoon?

Ah...

Do you have room
in your suitcase?

I literally bamboozled Dave
with a million questions.

Is that neck tatt?
(LAUGHS

Well, he - look, he seemed
to like it.

Are you a snorer?

I can talk for hours.

Sometimes I talk in my sleep.

Interesting.

Apparently, I just
don't stop talking.

Yeah, well, that's going
to be interesting.

Well, if she's talking in her sleep.

I mean, I'm a heavy sleeper anyway.

I've got so many questions.

37 questions, I'd have to say,
I probably have asked that man.

Am I overwhelming you?

No, I'm just all nervous.

You're, like, stopping me now.

(LAUGHS)

OK, guys. Come on over here.

We'll get some lovely photos
to celebrate your day.

Come in. I don't bite
unless you ask.

(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: New bride, Katie,

is unaware that her husband, Tim,
has been in two minds

about making an abrupt exit

because of his lack of physical
attraction to his new wife.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

Smile like a happy couple!

Um...

Yeah, there's no one type
that I have,

but I was thinking I'd be...

I'm not sure. With more
of a shorter woman or...

But...

Yeah, she's she's definitely
beautiful,

but just different
to what I would normally go.

Do you want to walk towards
my camera over here?

I normally go just short, petite,
normally go blonde.

Different isn't it?

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I don't know how to say it.

It's not, like, I'm like,
oh, I wanted the skinny...

I... It's not that.

I mean, I definitely don't always
judge a book by its cover.

So, no, I would...

I don't just run just 'cause
of what the person looked like,

but...

When it goes behind, it looks nice.

Three, two, one, and...

(CAMERA CLICKS)

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I just... I'm feeling
a bit deflated.

I'm not sure why we got matched.

Oh, my gosh. We're gonna have
to learn so much about each other

so quickly.

Are you prepared?

Yeah.

OK. That's great.

Come in nice and close together
for me, guys, and we'll get...

Kind of like a fraction closer,
maybe put an arm round

'cause it's a wedding...
Oh, cool.

It is a wedding photo. Yeah.

Yeah, and then just like,
a little bit closer together.

So, you were very far apart there.
OK. No worries.

I tell you, you can even go
a fraction more.

It's not gonna hurt.

Or maybe we should swap sides.

Do you want to put your hand
back on his chest

or hold his hand or something?

Yeah, or hold the other hand
is great.

(CROW CAWS)

He looked a bit nervous.

I mean, so was I,

but I express my nerves
in different ways, you know?

Feel free to get cosy.

(LAUGHS)
Not in that way.

But, you know, I try and be,
like, funny and humorous and stuff

and do that to, like, you know,
disarm a situation

or make people feel
like a bit more relaxed.

It's a bit weird so early on
hugging and...

It's alright.

Shall we hug so we can get rid
of the weird?

Oh, wow! (LAUGHS)

Maybe not that much.
(LAUGHS) OK.

Easy, killer.

I went for a cuddle
and freaked him out.

Cool.

Like, when you go to cuddle
someone and they, like, recoil...

Just come in nice and close together
for me.

I don't know, when you have
somebody, like, doing this,

it's a little concerning.

I've never had that reaction before.

I think Tim is more reserved...

..as far as, like, physical touch
goes than I am.

That'll come.

Hopefully.

Yeah, good. Three, two, one, and...

Everybody put their hands together
to welcome our newlyweds,

Katie and Tim.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

KATIE: So far, like,

it's hard to get a gauge
if Tim likes me or not.

Whoo!

He's mentioned feeling awkward
a couple times today.

I get the feeling he might be
a little bit, like, guarded

and a bit more like shy.

How we all doing?
(LAUGHTER)

I'm hoping for the reception
to just be a really good opportunity

to get to know Tim

and see if he can come
out of his shell a bit more.

Cheers, everyone. Cheers.

Are you feeling
any better now or...

Yeah. No, I feel good.

You? Is it less awkward?

It's just so awkward, you know?
I know, right?

It's like kind of to be expected,
really.

Yeah.

You're not, like, looking
for the exits yet?

No. No, no.
(LAUGHS)

Winning!

(LAUGHTER)

This is tasty.

Yeah.

Cheers.

I never drink champagne.

When do you ever have it?

(LAUGHS)

You'd be right.

Yeah.

I'd better do the walk around...
Go for it.

I feel like something's up with Tim.

How you doing? Lovely to meet you.

Pleased to meet you.
How you doing? Thanks for coming.

Thank you.
Lovely to meet you.

Thank you.

With the way he is right now,

I think like he's saying
all the right things

and he's being very, like,
considerate and very kind,

like with family and friends.

(LAUGHTER)

But I can see something's up,

and there's, like, a closed part
still with me.

My new son-in-law.

(LAUGHTER)

There's, like, this weird energy
with Tim.

It's the body language,
the facial expressions.

Like, avoiding me
the whole night.

It's like... weird.

Yeah, I haven't spoken to her much,

but I've tried to make sure
I spoke to everyone.

So, I've seen everyone.

I've got plenty
of time to chat to her.

WOMAN: Ask the bride and the groom
for the cutting of the cake.

Something in me tells me
there's something there.

Do it together. Yeah.
Put your hand on top.

Like, maybe he's, like, just
so overwhelmed with nerves.

Or maybe he's not into me.

Ready?
(LAUGHS) OK.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Nice! There's crumbs on it.

No, I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing that. (LAUGHS)

No, no, I promise. OK.
No deal.

It was a little bit humiliating
to be kind of there,

asking for a smooch and not get one
in front of friends and family.

So, I took that as a bit
of rejection,

like, "Stay away from me" situation.

That was weird.

I know I'm really triggered.
You've gotta trust it.

You've got to trust it.
I want to know what's going on.

No, no. There's nothing...

I'm really on the edge
of, like, losing it.

Like, what the hell?

NARRATOR: It's Jamie and Dave's
reception...

Cheers.

..and so far, the couples seem
very happy with their match.

JAMIE: I like someone who looks like
a bad boy, but is a nice guy.

Hmm.

I like a masculine man.

Like, I said a red flag
for me is hatchbacks.

Hatchbacks? Hmm.

I'm assuming you wouldn't
even fit into a hatchback.

No.
Yeah, so we're fine. (LAUGHS)

Like, your feet would be hanging
out the windows.

(LAUGHS)

Dave is actually what I was
hoping for,

'cause, like, he's physically
attractive.

We were bantering.

He's an Aquarius.

Lives in Melbourne.

I think this actually
might be something.

So, I've got a Weimaraner...

A what?
A Weimaraner, the dog.

The grey dogs.

I'm not a dog person.

Oh, no!

Well, guess what? You're gonna be
because he's the best.

Is your dog inside - your dog's
inside the house, isn't it?

Is it sleeping in your bed?
Yeah.

I cuddle him like a little baby.

No! No, no, no, no, no.

You can have your bush doofs
and your fake tan

and I get my dog into the bed.

Jamie's going to be a ball of fun.

She's quirky. She's funny.

I'm the only one that should
be moulting in the house.

(LAUGHS)

It's good banter.

So...
You mum's dress is sparkling.

We're actually going to hang her
off the ceiling later

like a disco ball.
That was the vibe.

Yeah, very early days,
but I feel something.

So, I'm looking forward
to... feeling more.

Aren't they so cute?

(LAUGHS)
They're so cute.

Like, they suit each other.

You can see there's already
some sort of chemistry,

but you couldn't pick
that they were strangers.

They look so comfortable together.

Food's falling out of my mouth.
What are you thinking about,

um, like kids, wives and stuff
like that in the future.

Like...
I love kids.

Yeah. I think they're going
to have a chance at this.

I hope so, Vicki.

One girl?
Two boys and one girl.

I could go with you on that one.

The energy between David and Jamie,
beyond my imagination.

Quite remarkable.

I think we're all just sort
of looking at each other.

Can't believe the connection.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Yeah, good.
No spills.

I've got goosebumps now,
as I've said this.

Alright, ladies and gentlemen,
we're going to commence speeches.

Good evening, everyone.

First off, a huge thank you
for all you being here

to celebrate this incredible day
with us.

To my dad and stepmother...

..who unfortunately
can't be here today.

I've been alongside my dad,
helping in his fight with cancer

for the last four years,
since his diagnosis.

With Dad not being here today...

..I realise even more
how important he is.

You're doing good.
You're doing so good.

Dad means the world to me.

He's raised me to be this big,
kind gentleman you see today.

Dad has been there for every
significant part of my life.

I have his full support,
even though he can't be here.

Me and my dad are so alike.

I know he'd love to
seriously meet you one day.

To Jamie's mother and father...

I want you to find comfort
in the fact

I'll give you my word

that I'll be the man my father
raised me to be,

and treat your beautiful daughter
the way she deserves.

(APPLAUSE)

To Jamie...

I'm excited to go on
this journey with you.

Let's raise a glass and celebrate
the best decision

Jamie and I have ever made.

Finding each other.

Oh! That was so sweet.

Cheers!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I think he's so brave
to have come on this experiment,

knowing that he is going through
something like really challenging.

I can't imagine what he's going
through

'cause my dad is my world.

Dave, he's so genuine,
so authentic.

Like, he's baring his soul.

And it was just - it was
so beautiful.

And I actually really like
seeing that vulnerability.

I think it's really clear
that Dave does definitely have

a massive heart, and it means a lot

like that's what you'd want
in a partner.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

Um, no, I'm on the fence
about something.

NARRATOR: Katie asks
the hard questions.

What did you think when you
turned around and saw me?

Um...

What did you think?

Oh, man, it went really well.
Like your family's so nice.

No, I said the same about yours.

I felt like everyone could
just see something amazing.

Yeah.

I mean, we're gonna
remember this day forever.

You could never forget this.
Forever.

But see the stars align, baby.

Yeah, I felt like you supported me

in moments there
where I was pretty vulnerable.

So, I appreciate that.

I want to thank you.
No. You're so sweet.

Like the fact that you've
taken time away from your dad.

Yeah.

And like, you think like
I'm worthy of that time

is, like, is so special.

It's huge.

You can see how genuine you are
and I appreciate that.

Thank you. I'm glad that I did it.
You know what I mean?

Like, I took the risk
and it's paid off immensely.

Like, I married you,
and it was really special.

Jamie, she seems really hard
on the outside,

but she's actually really caring.

You need to be there for your
partner and she supported me,

and she was there.

Yeah, she showed me
who she is, and I like her.

Whoo!

(SQUEALS AND LAUGHS)

I think I've married, like,
yeah, the big friendly giant.

I think I've married
a really nice man.

(CHEERING)

I'm just like...
I'm full of freaking, like love,

like, coming out of my arse
right now.

Like, there's just, like,
everyone's so happy.

I'm so happy.

I hope to god he's happy.

This has been, like,
literally the best day ever.

I couldn't have asked
for a better wedding

and it's exactly what I wanted.

I was just - I don't know, I'm
just...

I'm just so, like...

Thank you.

NARRATOR: As Jamie and Dave
finished the night on a high...

..Katie has pulled her husband, Tim,
aside...

This is for... Thank you

Finally warm today.
I know.

..concerned his awkward behaviour

is a sign he doesn't find
her attractive.

I want to know
what's going on with Tim.

Why is he being so standoffish?

Like... "Ooh, don't touch me."

Yeah.

So, I'm at this point where
I could get my heart broken.

I'm scared now
that Tim is not into me.

Yeah.

Um...

You know, um...

How are you feeling about it all?

Yeah, I think it was
definitely a blur.

Yeah.

What did you think when you
turned around and saw me?

Um...

I think I just had
such an open mind.

I tried not to think too much.

Yeah.
So... But it was great.

You just had a calming smile...

Yeah.
..which was really great to see.

Oh, good. Cool.

I don't know,
how did you feel today went?

Um, I don't know.

I'm on the fence
about something.

(LAUGHTER)

If I can share.

Is it about me or about you?

No, just about,
like, the dynamic.

It's easy for me to kind of be
all la-di-da

and wishful thinking.

But you recoiled a few times,
and I was like, "Oh, no."

You...
In what way?

Like, going away
for a hug or a kiss.

Yeah, I think it's...

Yeah, it's been a lot to start with.
Yeah.

So, have you... Have I given
that off?

Well, and I'm - not probably
your intention to do that.

Yeah. So, yeah.

So, I'm sorry you feel like that
'cause it wasn't my intention.

Yeah. I didn't think it would be.

Like, and I get it, like,
it's a lot.

I'm a stranger. I do get it.

Yeah. I think it's been a lot,

the first day, I think...
Yeah.

So... But yeah, you've
definitely put me at ease.

Good.
So, I couldn't have...

Yeah, asked for someone
more genuine.

Cool. Well, I wear
my heart on my sleeve.

So, for me, like,
rejection is like a big...

Yeah.
..like, trigger.

So, like, every, like, little
thing I kind of read into it.

Potentially wrong.

Probably get ahead of myself.

Like, when I, you know,
assume certain things...

..I need to talk it out.
So, I appreciate you listening.

(CHUCKLES)

No, I appreciate
you being honest.

Cool.

Yeah. All these assumptions.
(LAUGHS)

Oh, it gets me
into so much trouble.

There was some triggering
moments for me.

Well, now I know
I misinterpreted everything

and instead of me thinking
I was getting, you know,

turned away from or rejected,

turns out, wasn't that case at all.

It was... Yeah. Just a lot - a whole
lot of nervous energy.

You know, that's good.

Like, I could very easily assume
it is me.

It's good to know though,

like, your gestures,
your reactions to, like,

me asking you to plant one on me...
(LAUGHTER)

..was not because you think
I'm hideous. (LAUGHS)

Yeah.

It's a lot to process.

I definitely feel that it's been
hard to be honest with Katie

'cause I don't have that spark.

Like, I couldn't give her
what she deserved.

You're really nice.

(LAUGHS)
Like, and that's not a like...

That's a genuine compliment, so...

I am hoping the spark can grow
with Katie.

But... I just can't see that
at this moment.

(LAUGHS)

I have a good feeling.

Positive, positive vibes.
(LAUGHS) Positive vibes.

Yeah.

NARRATOR: It's the first day
of married life,

and newlyweds, Jamie and Dave,
have woken up

at their accommodation
in high spirits.

Good mornin', sunshine!

Good morning.

Me and Dave had a very nice night
last night.

I need to wash this excess sweat
off me from your body heat.

My body heat?

I'm gonna jump in the...
in that shower.

There was lots of kisses,
but like PG-13,

we didn't have sex.

But, like, you just know
when the time comes,

it's gonna be good.

I'll let you do the honours.
I'm actually scared.

OK. OK.

"Happy first morning
as a married couple.

"The next step of married life
is your honeymoon, of course."

Oh, my god.

"We hope sun and luxury
are your cup of tea

"because you're off
to the beautiful daydream...

Oh, my god! I guessed Whitsundays
yesterday!

"..to discover what..." (LAUGHS)

I guessed Whitsundays!

"..to discover what makes
each other tick

"and get to know each other
on a deeper level."

Oh, my god! To be in the sun!

Alright, let's go pack the bikinis,
huh?

NARRATOR: For Katie and Tim,
the mood is sombre this morning,

as Katie's biggest fear coming
into the experiment has come true.

I can't talk.

Um...

Last night for me was horrible.

Tim and I agreed last night to sleep
in separate rooms, and...

Yeah, he knocked on my door
and wanted to chat.

He just sat down and said,
"There's no spark."

"I wasn't feeling a spark all day."

To be rejected, like,
that's my worst nightmare.

I don't know
what I've done wrong.

Or why this keeps happening.

I feel really humiliated.

Good morning. How you doing?

Very emotional, sorry.

Yeah.

How are you feeling
about it all?

You obviously...
Not good.

Yeah.

It's, like, off to a pretty
crappy start.

I was kind of like, I guess,
blissfully unaware

that you, like, didn't feel
like a spark.

I think sparks is just...

It's just a cop-out for saying,
like, "I'm not attracted to you."

To not know that was going on
on your side...

And it was hard...
Like, it's kind of embarrassing.

I'm just written... I'm written off
so early.

How am I meant to, like, build
anything with somebody

when you know they're, like,
not into you?

Yeah, it wasn't an easy chat.

I felt horrible for you.

I'm so sorry that I...

I know I haven't made you
feel this way,

but I've put you in this position.
That's what I feel shit about.

But, like, I'm really sorry, and...
Yeah.

..I am still open to getting to know
you and doing all that.

But I don't know if you want
to go on the honeymoon...

Like, I totally understand
either way, like...

Do you want a hug
or are you just space?

Can you read it? I can't.

So, "Hello, newlyweds,
and congratulations.

"We hope you had the best time

"and a wonderful first night
as a married couple.

"Now, it's time to pack
for your honeymoon.

"You're heading to the sublime
wilderness

"of Tasmania's Cradle Mountain,
where the fresh...

KATIE: I was so hopeful
and so optimistic.

"..one another. This snow-capped
lodge...

It's just so disappointing.

"..is the perfect place to start
your life together as a couple.

"Enjoy! The Experts."

It's really hard to know
what direction to go now.

Like, should we even do
the honeymoon?

I don't know.

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night,
two more spectacular weddings.

Will you marry me?

Marking.

NARRATOR: And it's a case
of double trouble.

(SQUEALS)

Oh, my god! They're twins.

It's really important having
my twin sister here today.

My husband would absolutely need
to get the tick of approval

from my sister.

NARRATOR: But will this groom's
vows...

..derail the entire wedding day?

Wow!

NARRATOR: And...

..as our newlyweds bask
in their honeymoon glow...

..it's disaster for Lauren...

..as Eliot makes a sudden exit.

I just think that it's very
close-minded and selfish.

I don't think there's anything
that I can do or say.
