It's probably the most important
thing in my life at the moment,

to find love again.

I don't want to settle
for just someone.

I want THE one.

Hi!

Australia's biggest
social experiment...

Whoo!

..has returned.

I'm so ready to put
my heart out there again.

A lot of heartbreak in the past,

but as soon as she walks down
the aisle,

I'm hoping I've found
my person forever.

Where the pursuit of love...

Feeling really confident
and beautiful.

..has never looked...

SHE LAUGHS

Ohh! You OK?

..so different.

You're precious cargo.

I forgot my bouquet.

This is nice.

THUNDER CLAPS
Everyone went nuts.

She's going to have her baby.

Where am I meant to hold on to?

Whoa!

Hi.

Oh, wait, that's not it? Oh!
LAUGHTER

Before...

PHONES CHIMING

Stuff's been leaked.

Did you hear about one
of the grooms?

..the experiment...

Oh, my God.

..is rocked to its core.

This story is shocking.

Leading to the comment...

Shut your mouth!

Can you muzzle your woman?

Are you serious?

..that will divide the experiment.

You've always been a grandstander!

Ohh.

WOMEN EXCLAIM

I will literally ruin you.

This season...

If there are actual feelings,
where is the sex?

..the experts will take
no prisoners.

Can I just bat...? No, you can't.

You're going to sit and listen.

As some take love to new heights...

Eden, I love you.

What?!
ALL GASP

I've got some bad news.

..which participant has
done a runner?

48 hours after the
Buck's and Hen's Night,

your ideal match decided
to cut and run.

Which means at this stage,
we don't have a match for you.

And which groom will be exposed...

There's no coming back from this.

..in one of the most
confronting scandals...

Oh, my God.

..in MAFS history?

SHE SOBS
You all right?

Oh, God, are you serious?!

I've heard some things in
these experiments...

You need to leave right now!
Get out!

..that have repulsed me.

Leave me alone! Go home!

That is right up there.

So, I'm going to cut to the chase.

We need to just kick you out.

The Married At First Sight
experiment is about to begin...

..as our brides and grooms on
their quest for love

make their way to the traditional
Buck's and Hen's Night.

Do you think you might be one of
the youngest bucks there tonight?

HE LAUGHS

Yeah, mate, nice question.

People like to judge.

When you go on a show such as this,
people will judge.

How so?

Highbrow people who are into
art and culture and, yeah,

as I have been in my life, and like,
"What's Richard doing?

"Why is he stooping so low into
the bucket of reality television?"

And all the judgment that comes
with that, you know? Yeah.

The 2024 Married At First Sight
experiment has officially launched,

as the first buck - and MAFS'
most mature groom -

makes his entrance.

Look at this.

Didn't think I'd be the first one.

Ooh!

Ah.

My name is Richard.

I'm 62 years old.

How much do I like my own company?

If people say anything about
my age, they will typically say,

"Oh, my God, you don't look 62."

And I will say to them,
"Well, thanks for that complement

"but let me ask you this question.

"What does a 62-year-old look like?

"Sir or madam?

"Do you expect me to be all
wrinkled and haggled?"

"What do you expect?
I should bring out my stick?"

Hello! How are you, mate?
How are you?

Very good. I'm Tim.
Hi, I'm Richard. Richard.

Yeah. How you going?
Nice to meet ya.

I think a lot of people,
when they get older,

they think about making it
safely to death.

I'm Tristan.
Hello, I'm Richard.

Nice to meet you, Richard.

Yeah, how are you? What's your name?
Tim. Nice to meet you, Tim.

But I'm entering
the last 30 years of my life,

and I'm looking for the
next love of my life.

I'm committed. I'm into this.
Bring it on.

That's it, bring it on!
Let's do it!

Yeah, no, I'm ready!

I'm ready. I'm ready.

All right, boys, we're
the first three, so cheers.

Cheers. Cheers, mate.
Cheers, cheers, cheers.

To hopefully last night
being single, which is good.

Richard, how old are ya? 62.

62. Oh, you're looking good.

Thank you, mate.
Looking good for 62.

On the other side of Sydney...

Oh, my goodness.
Sydney's so pretty.

..a very nervous bride, Nat,

is making her way to
this year's Hen's Night.

I'm definitely one of those people
who laugh when they are nervous -

laugh to hide pretty much
all emotions.

It's just always meeting
new people is exciting,

but it's kind of nerve-racking,
as well.

You just don't know
who's going to be there,

what they'll think of you.

I'm quite different to
a lot of girls.

I'm definitely not a Bondi babe
by any stretch of the imagination.

Pale skin, don't do well
in the sun.

Burn like a crisp.

At times I've felt like...

..I wasn't good enough,

wasn't, you know, all done up
and pretty enough.

Teeth are too big,
I smile too gummy,

I've got wrinkles in the
side of my eyes.

I'm too short, I'm pale.

You're about to embark on
ten weeks of, you know,

extreme relationship experiment.
Yes.

What are you most excited about?

Falling in love.

Oh, that's the right answer.

Right there.

I just want to find someone who

can give back what I put in,

and they feel proud to be in
a relationship with me.

GLASS CLINKS

DISTANT SHIP HORN HONKS

OK.

I've been told I'm too much,
too ambitious.

"You want too much.
You can't have it all."

I want the kids, the husband,

the house, you know,
the good jobs

with a nice European SUV.

Hi! Hi! I'm Tori.

I'm Natalie. Nice to meet you.

How many kids do I want?

Like, three?

Mm. No, not four,
cos then you have no option

but to have ugly, like,
people-movers as cars.

Two or three.

You need to keep it within
the five seats.

What's your go-to?
Like, what's your type?

I like a bit of a nerdy man.

Like a bit of an IT guy.

Someone who could touch-type.
SHE GASPS

And if he can code - oh!

SHE GIGGLES
Right.

How do I explain Nat?

She's a simple girl.

But I don't mind the short guys.

It doesn't take much to be
taller than me.

And I don't mind a dad bod.

SHE LAUGHS

We are so different.

She strikes me
as like a girlie-girl.

SHE GIGGLES

Like, giddy and giggly, and happy -
and I'm just like, "Ohh.

"You're not for me."
What about you?

Erm...probably not the nerdy IT guy.

Love it for you. Yeah.

For me, it's more like
the athletic...

..tall, broad shoulders.

You know, like, very dominant.

I started Muay Thai
kick boxing when I was 13.

I'm current WBC world-ranked number
one cruiserweight in the world.

And I'm one of the most renowned
knockout artists on the planet.

And that's just facts.

COMMENTATORS: Oh! That's it.
Right hand, he's out.

Evening, boys.

Hello! How is everyone? Tristan.
Tristan. Jayden, nice to meet you.

Tim. Tim, Jayden. Nice to meet ya.

I'm Richard. Richard.
Very nice to meet you, sir.

How is everyone?

RICHARD: Jayden.

Wow, you know, he's quite
a striking character.

Strong face, you know?

Ah, yeah it's just like, whoa.

So, what do you do for work, Jayden?

My full-time job is kick boxing.

Oh, that's your full-time
job is kick boxing?

Yeah, twice a day, every day,
six days a week. Really?

But I'm as far from
what you'd think. Yeah.

Yeah. OK. Fair, good.
Yeah, bit of a softie on the inside.

Yeah, fair.

I'm not everything that I appear,

and that's what a lot of people
don't understand, you know?

I like to fight big knockouts
in front of big crowds,

but then, I'm coming home for
snuggles and back tickles.

HE LAUGHS
Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah, I'm a softie,
a love bug.

Yeah, I love love.

I get pretty romantic.
Oh, yeah, nice.

I don't really have a
typical type, to be honest.

Just a good-looking senorita.
Just, just good...

Nah, not even that. Good heart.

If you have a type,

that's obviously what you've gone
for in the past. Yeah.

But it hasn't worked out -
and that's exactly why we're here.

Exactly right. So maybe it's time
that we be a bit more

open-minded, I think. Yeah.

# Breathe

# Breathe

# Breathe... #

I feel good. Lu, Lu, Lu.

I'm Lucina Light.
I'm 43, living in Byron Bay.

I'm a sister. I'm a daughter.

I'm a creatrix.

I'm somebody that loves
to wildly express myself.

Oh, my goodness! Hi!

Hi. I'm Tori.
Hi, Tori, I'm Lucinda.

Nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you, gorgeous.

You look fabulous!
So do you. Thank you.

What are you hoping for?

I mean, I don't know if you
want to see this,

but I have actually popped it...
I...

..on a scroll.

So...

HE CHUCKLES

Fire away.

Somebody that's really confident
with nothing to prove,

generous of spirit, knows himself,
a great cook, evolutional living,

good communication,
good sense of humour.

Must have. Absolutely!

Cos you're fun. I want him to laugh
at the cosmic joke that's life.

HE LAUGHS

Emotionally intelligent
would be delightful.

Just, like, practical and steady -
cos I'm not that practical.

And one more.

He's gotta be good, er,
with his clothes off.

Is that where you were going?

High-functioning erection.
That was where you were going.

Erm...well, in the general
area, yeah.

We've got some work to do.

Oof. Yeah.

So, Tori and Nat. Yes. Yay.

What's on the manifesto?

The man-ifesto.

For me, it's like,
well-established, secure.

Yeah. Doesn't have a big ego.

Confident, but with
nothing to prove.

Correct.

I want a nerdy guy. Cute.

You're a bit of an intellect,
and you need somebody

to challenge you on that level.
Yeah! Yeah.

Good for you. I love nerds.

Loved Lucinda.

Here's another one. Yay!

Oh, she was just a ball
of radiant energy.

I'm such a nerd.

I bought a notebook and pen
to write down everyone's names.

Dun-da!

You gotta be gentle with the pen.

Ellie, purple.

THEY LAUGH
Nat, peach floral.

Tori's on fire.

Come on.

Yes, we got another one!

THEY EXCLAIM

There was some really beautiful,
gorgeous women there.

Fully they're ready, you know,
sleeves up for whatever's ahead.

We're getting married!
SHE LAUGHS

This moment, we're just in
the magical mystery applecart.

I don't know what to call it,
but we're on it, and it's going,

and there's no getting off
right now.

This is exquisite on you.
Thank you!

This was the colour. Isn't it...?

It's the colour of transcendence.
I love that.

With our remaining brides
and grooms arriving,

ready to begin the experiment...

THEY EXCLAIM

Walk me down the altar.

Let me meet my beautiful husband
and live happily ever after.

Boys!

..they're putting their trust
into the experts to turn over

a new leaf and to start a new
relationship chapter...

I've been married in my 20s.
Was it a high school sweetheart?

Ah, she actually was with
my best friend in high school. Oh!

And then, I married her.

Mr Steal Your Girl!
THEY CHEER

..on their journey to find
true love.

God, I love a red flag.

If I see a red flag,
I literally come running at it.

I'm like, "Yay, red flag!"
I'm the worst.

Sorry, I'm touching my face,
I've got...

I've got really dry sore lips.

I got them sunburnt in Bali.

Sorry.

Erm...

WOMEN EXCLAIM

Hello, how are you? I'm a giant.

THEY LAUGH

I do meet a lot of men,
but I just haven't found

someone that tickles my fancy -

or tickles anything else.

What are you guys thinking?

Like, who would be your ideal
person to be matched with?

What are you looking for?

Erm, big heart.

I thought you were going to say
something else, then, I was like...

Oh, no. Like, big heart,
big personality.

I want to say everyone's
loving Lauren.

What is your wedding mantra?

I think mine would be just, like,
open mind, open heart.

Open legs. No!

But you can see there's a little
bit of, like, resistance there.

And I love it.

Have a feeling they're going
to put me with someone a bit more

established, and maybe older.

Mm. Like, what's your limit older?

Darling, you're not stealing my man.

Seriously - nobody's safe.

THEY LAUGH

She's not joking!

Your dad and your brother.

All of your friends.
Your boss, your colleagues.

Lauren is definitely one to watch
in this experiment.

She says anything -
and will probably do anything.

Her groom better be
ready for her.

Let's talk about positive things.

What about, guessing what
your man's going to look like?

What does she want to play again?

Oh, that's more fun!

It's your last night
as a single man.

HE CHUCKLES
Yes.

It is my last night as a single man,

and I don't think I can be
more prepared to jump

into the marriage life.

Done with the singleness.
Done with those days.

I don't know if this is
the small-town boy in me,

but I've feel like I've known
that I wanted a family

since I was like 16.

I grew up in Ohio,
back in the United States.

I'm the oldest of two sisters,
three brothers.

I baby-sat a lot.

And I can always just remember
saying one day,

I want a family and kids.
One day, I want a family and kids.

And one day, I'm going to
have a family and kids.

And so, you got a driver of
settling down, commitment,

wanting a deeper connection.

I definitely want to get married.

I've always seen myself
as somebody getting married.

I've been thinking about
getting married, God, for...

..decades now, let's just say that.

So, I want somebody that's
willing to just dive in,

find love, start a family.

I'm ready for the whole nine yards.

I am delighted to have you on board.

It's just going to be a fantastic
eight weeks of seeing you

and how it all unfolds.

Yeah, I-I'm nervous,
but I think I could do this.

You're authentic and you're in,
and you want it -

and that's exactly what we need.
Yeah.

How many is coming? Maybe ten?
I think it's ten.

Oi, here he is! Another one!

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Another one?

Boys! Hey.

What's going on, mate?

What do you think your lovely
husband will look like?

I actually asked for like, tall,
dark and handsome. Where's...

Tall, dark, handsome.
Someone, you asked for that too.

Yeah, yeah! Guys, seriously,
I need it more than any of you.

Ladies!

Hi.

I am the new bride.

HE LAUGHS
THEY CHEER

I'm Michael - Michael, yes.

I'm Ellie, how are you?
Hi. Really lovely to meet you.

How exciting! Hello, I'm Andrea.
That is beautiful.

So, my type is probably good,
tall, dark, and handsome man.

How refreshing. Beautiful!

Michael!

Wrap me up and give me to
my husband. I'm ready for it.

I've been single, ready to mingle -
have been mingling...

..getting me nowhere, as you see.
THEY LAUGH

I need me a man!

I'm ready to have a family.
ALL: Awww.

I'm so impressed at you just being
here, I'm like, yes, Michael, yes!

Oh, my God!

Michael is magnificent.

SHE LAUGHS

I was not expecting him at all.

You walked in and everyone
just went, "Oh!"

When Michael walked in,

And this gorgeous, tall,
dark and handsome guy...

I genuinely thought
he was like a stripper.

Like...

So, is your partner at the Buck's?

Yeah, poor guy.
THEY LAUGH

Oh, here we go.

Hey. Jonathan. Oh, Mr Charm.
Jayden, nice to meet you.

You are one good-looking man.
THEY LAUGH

What's your ideal man?

Er, like, don't have
a specific type looks-wise.

I do like a nice, like, deep,
masculine voice, though.

Cheers. Yeah, on the waters.

Someone who's confident
in themselves.

I need someone that'll be like
a good leader, as well.

Some handsome-looking
fellas in here.

Everyone has killer jawlines here.

And just somebody
that's mature or older.

How old are you? I'm 62.

Not by looks, you're not.

What is the one thing,
when you look down the aisle,

that you don't want to see?

A look of disdain and
disappointment.

I've seen the look of
disappointment on many girls' face.

THEY LAUGH

So, I think when I look around,
I'll be able to say,

"We're in trouble."
THEY LAUGH

Or not. Yeah.

Simon, what about you? Ahem.

What are you hoping for?

Oh, just gotta be open-minded,
basically.

I'm trying not to have expectations.

I got married at 25 and,

yeah, we had a child at 26,

we built a house,

but that didn't work out for me.

So, what do you look for in a girl?

Me? What am I looking for
in a partner? Erm...

If you turn around and she's
complete opposite to the things

that you told the judges
is what you're after.

She? Ha-ha!

She, well - oh! He?

Oh, mate! Hell, yeah!

Oh, really? Hey! A boy! Well done!

So you were married before?

Yeah, my whole 20s, obviously.
I've always had...

I've always had girlfriends.
I come from a big European family.

My brothers and sisters are all
married with kids. Yeah, yeah.

And it just took me a while
to realise, you know,

what my true sexuality was.

I'm actually really happy with
the way the night went.

It was a lot more...
welcoming than I expected.

No, good on you man. Good for you.

With all of this year's
participants assembled...

I've got hope, man.
I feel like it's going to work out.

I've just realised
who you remind me of. Who?

Christina Applegate.

Has anyone told you you look like
Christina Applegate before? No.

..it's time for the experts
to formally commence the proceedings

to this year's experiment.

How are we, gents?

THEY CHEER
How are we doing?

It's Johnny! Look at you!
Very sharp, I gotta say.

And help the hopeful singles...

THEY CHEER

..in their quest to find love.

Ladies and gentleman,

welcome to the MAFS experiment

and to your very last night
as single people.

THEY CHEER

Look around this room.

You all share the exact same goal -

to find everlasting love.

But for all of you,

the idea of continuing
to search, swipe,

double-tap, get ghosted...

It's exhausting.
..love-bombed...

Bread-crumbed, catfished,

and plain old disappointed
on repeat...

Is no longer an option.

Thank you!

You guys believe that true love
is possible - and it is.

In this experiment,
we have really seen it happen

more than a few times,

so you better believe it's for real.

THEY GIGGLE

We will see you very soon,
and you will be married!

Let the men out!

THEY LAUGH

Enjoy, guys. And we'll see you
on the other side.

All right, boys,
last night of being single,

and now we're about to get married,

so we all need to get up and
cheers to our Bucks!

ALL: Cheers!

It's happening, baby!
We're getting married!

No turning back now.
Going to meet my man!

Married At First Sight 2024
is officially under way,

as we unveil the experts' very first
match of this year's experiment.

My name is Sara.

I'm 29 years old.

I live in Sydney.

And I'm a nutritionist.

I went on a date with
this guy, and he -

it was like the second date.

Long story short, he like,
let me pay.

I laughed at his face,
and I was like,

"I can't believe you just
let me pay for that."

And he was like, "What?"
Like so confused that I like,

called him out -
cos no-one would do that.

I'm literally like, I'm embarrassed
to be here right now.

Like, I pay to get my hair done,

pay to get my brows done,
I paid for like, medication,

like, birth control.

The least they could do
is pay for dinner.

Like, you owe me.

Gotcha.

I would say I'm a catch.

I'm very determined
and career-driven.

I'm social. I'm always out.
I'm always travelling,

things like that.

Sometimes I'm like,
"Why am I not wived up already?"

When I was with my ex,

he ended up cheating on me
multiple times

with multiple women.

But I just kept going back to him
for like 4-5 years.

Even though it was toxic
and manipulative,

he had an emotional pull over me,

and I couldn't help myself.

So, it's like you were holding on
to hope and through that,

maintaining that connection
with him -

which is, what I'm hearing or
what I'm listening to your story,

it does kind of break my heart
for you because, er,

I'm a true believer that people
will show you who they are.

Forget about what they're saying...

I'm getting emotional.
..they will show you.

It's OK. It's not easy.

And, oh, my God,
you're so not alone,

it happens to so many of us.

This is not something
that is unusual.

It feels a little heartbreaking,

and I totally want to hug you,
as a woman, I understand

being in that position - and yet,

I wish so much better for you.

And I hope that,
coming into this experiment,

that you hold yourself at
a place where you can, erm,

love yourself more than hold on
to somebody who is showing you

that they don't want to be with you.

I want someone who is
emotionally intelligent,

well-travelled, fit,

charismatic.

I like light-haired guys,
pretty boys.

I'm Tim. I'm 31,
and I'm from the Gold Coast.

I have a few online stores.

Business is going good, but, er,

I don't think I'm currently happy
with my work, to be honest.

There's one thing that
I've always had a dream of doing,

and that's setting up a school
in Ethiopia,

because my sister's Ethiopian -
she's adopted.

So, it only just makes sense.

Growing up with an adopted sister
was a pretty cool experience,

cos we had quite a lot of
involvement with a lot of refugees,

which is like pretty cool,
cos we, you know,

got to see another side of life.

That gave me the travel bug.

cos as soon as you go somewhere else
and you see a new culture,

you're like, "Whoa, this is crazy!"

You know, like,
it's just a different world.

And so, for me,
there's nothing like it.

I really like adventures
and new experiences.

I lived in Thailand,

lived in Spain,
lived in Bali, but...

..favourite country in the world
is definitely Colombia.

I just got a special place in
my heart for that country.

People are amazing,
country is beautiful.

Culture is just on point,
you know? I love it.

Hello. Hi!

So good to meet you in person.
I know!

Make yourself comfortable.
You look amazing.

Oh, thank you. You, too.
Gosh, bueno.

We share this Latina thing,
you and I.

I know that your heritage is
Colombian, right? Si.

OK. Your accent is beautiful,
the Colombian accent.

You speak with a Colombian accent.
Oh!

Like, I knew you spoke Spanish...

Mm. ..but I just literally heard
the cadences, it's beautiful.

Yeah. Thank you! You're welcome.

I do need the experts' help,

because I want a
communicative relationship,

and to meet the person I want
to spend the rest of my life with.

My last relationship ended
pretty tumultuously.

She was being a naughty girl.

She wasn't being faithful.

And everyone sort of knew,
and I was like...

Ah, you know, it's just kind of
embarrassing at this stage,

just getting like...
walked all over nonstop.

I want to find love.

Like, I haven't really met
anyone who had that energy,

that connection with.

Like twin flames, you know?

We both need to feel
that emotional connection.

There's definitely gotta be that
spark, you know, that you're like,

"Whoa!" Both of you have to feel
that electricity between you.

MEL: This couple have the potential
to be lightning in a bottle.

They are exactly what
each other has asked for,

and I believe what each other need.

Yeah, I mean, when you think about

the matches that we've made
over this series,

our best match for
the entire series,

in terms of their personality styles
and just the chemistry that

I think will leap off
the table with both of them.

And they were both very aspirational
as to what they wanted,

and they're getting it on
a silver platter,

with all the spice that you need.

I'm telling you, this is going
to be very, very fiery.

Caliente all the way. I'm...

Just you wait.

Caliente. Calientisimo. Mm.
Calientisimo.

What does that mean?
"Very, very hot" - calientisimo.

I love it!

With Sara and Tim matched,

it's time to meet one of the most
optimistic and resilient brides

ever to enter the experiment.

I'm here to make you yummy food,
not healthy food.

SHE LAUGHS

Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat more food!

My family - I know it's cliche,
but they are my world.

I should be on chicken duty.
Hey, don't turn it!

Don't turn it yet!
I just turned it! Ah, yah!

OK, OK, I'll leave you to it.
THEY LAUGH

The happiness, the love,
the strength, the support,

it's endless.

They are my favourite people
on this planet.

I would not be who I am
without them.

Honestly, I wouldn't
even make sense.

THEY LAUGH

Now, Cass has so much
lightness and joy

and the most incredibly open heart.

But I've never met someone
who's had so much tragedy.

My first relationship was
my high school love.

We were 14 or 15.

And I was in class,
and I hear this big laugh,

big noise, I'm like,
"What in the -

"oh, he's kind of cute."

We were together for probably
eight years, eight years.

And then...

..one day, yeah,

he was gone.

Erm, motorbike accident.

So, that was really,
really insanely, like...

..you can spend like every day
with someone...

TEARFUL LAUGHTER
Oh, my God!

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that one, we would have,

yeah, definitely married -
kids...

..silly matching shirts, vacations.
Like he was - yeah.

Having experienced such
a loss at such a young age

in your romantic development,

I'm wondering if that's caused
any kind of block in,

in your capacity to open up
and let someone in.

I was blocked for like almost
3-4 years after that.

And, erm, I was in a very dark
space for a long time.

I couldn't feel anything.

But I-I know, I'm so ready,
I'm so ready.

How do you know you're ready?

Cos I know in here.

I'm ready to receive the love.

I'm ready to give the love.
I'm ready to be in love.

It's taken a long time,
but I'm there. Yeah.

My perfect match is...

..charming, and he's warm.

And he's kind, big heart,
big smile.

And he just sucks you in with
all of this warm energy.

Come take a seat. Hello.

Tristan, hello. Mel, it's lovely
to finally meet you.

It's lovely to meet you.

I've heard nothing but positive
things about you, as well.

Oh, it's all correct.
I love the dress by the way.

Orange is very nice! Thank you.
Yes, very, very nice.

My name is Tristan, and I'm from
Sydney, New South Wales.

And I'm 30.

Yeah. Not bad, but we'll do better
on that one. We can do better.

My name, my name's Tristan.
I'm like...

No, damn, now I just
stuffed myself up.

My name's Tristan.
I'm-I'm from Sydney.

I'm an entertainment manager.

I just completely cooked that.
OK, let me try one more.

I know I side-track a lot.
What was the question again?

HE LAUGHS
Like, what was the question?

I'm getting married. How cool!

You're getting married?
Married.

I didn't even know you
had a girlfriend.

This is the plan, OK,
I've never met my wife.

You're getting married?
Yeah, I'm getting married.

Oh, Tristan! Yeah, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I love you too.

Oh, I can't believe it!

My mum is by far the best person.

I'll do anything for Mum.

Mum's part of the reason
I'm here today,

and Mum's the reason that
got me here today.

She's like my everything,
my queen. She's the best.

But she could hate me. Oh, no.

No, I'm just kidding.
How can she hate you?

You're gorgeous. Love you, Mum.

You're my beautiful boy.
Oh, stop it. No, you are.

I've taught you how
to treat women properly.

You have, you've taught me very,
very well.

And treat them with respect.
Of course.

So, how are you feeling?

Oh, nervous, you know?

Why do you think that is?

Well, I've only ever had really
one girlfriend before.

I always sort of think to myself,

"Why is it always such a deal
for me to ask someone out?"

"Why have I been single for
seven years," you know?

"Why do people choose my mates
over me," you know?

It's kind of like that
kind of stuff. I like,

"What's really wrong with me,"
I guess? I don't know.

What do you think? All I know is
ugly, chubby-arse dude, I guess.

Sorry for swearing. It's ugly.
It's OK. Yeah.

Is that how you see yourself?
Yeah.

I used to be a really overweight kid
when I was a lot younger.

And that kind of never really,
kind of, leaves ya, I guess.

That's not what I see.

Well, I don't know, but thank you.

Like, that's really nice.
Thank you. But like...

You're a great-looking guy.

I don't know.

How do you think you'll feel when
you get into a really positive,

nurturing, supportive relationship?

It'll be awesome.

You'll see me smiling all
the time. You know,

I'm a happy dude. I love walking
around making people feel good.

It's one of my things,
it's just great.

I want that cheerleader.

I want that team person
that you do things together.

I want to find someone that I can
spend the rest of my life with,

have the family, have the dogs.

My perfect man is a family man.

And I would love kids.

I want to make half of me
and half of you.

And that's our little pumpkin.

Have a little rugby team or
something, you know?

Trust, we're going to have
a football team.

So, I'm here to find love,
and I want to find love,

and have a happy ending.

Full stop. Like...
HE LAUGHS

You know, I have to say,
hearing Cassandra's story

and the tragedy that
she's suffered has really left

a lasting impact on me.

I think it's a real credit to her,

and it tells us a lot
about who she is,

her resilience and
her enduring optimism.

ALESSANDRA: Tristan is so lovable.

He's just so full of life
and such a nice guy.

I think she's really going
to respond to that.

One of the keys here for Tristan is

going to be believing that
he deserves happiness.

So, I think the combination of that
with Cassandra's incredible optimism

Makes me feel very hopeful
that this is going to be

a really good match.

Our first two couples -

Sara and Tim,
and Cassandra and Tristan -

have been matched.

And they'll soon meet at the altar.

It's the morning of
the first two weddings,

and our singles are preparing
to take a big leap of faith

into the unknown of the experiment,

in the hopes of finding their
happily ever after.

And helping Colombian bride Sara
prepare for her big day

are her bridesmaids,
Hannah and Jacqui.

Hi. Oh, hi! Hi!

Are we taking bets on who
he's going to be?

What he's going to look like?

Well, I'm hoping he'll be tall...

..and handsome.
SHE LAUGHS

And funny. Funny is very important.

I want an emotional connection.

I want someone to match my energy,
you know?

And confident. Yeah.

It's only a short list.
It's only...

THEY LAUGH

We don't ask for much.
We don't ask for much!

I have been hurt in the past,

and so I'm putting my faith
in the experts.

I need someone to be like
100% in for me.

Sara is so deserving of love.

She really has been
mistreated in the past

with her previous relationship.

Sara needs to, like, broaden
her horizons and give, yeah,

give someone different a
real chance, for sure. Mm-hm.

Across town,
Sara's husband-to-be, Tim,

is ready to start a new
chapter in his life.

TIM: I have had my heart broken,
and it hurt me a lot.

I'm fully committed
to this experiment,

and I'm really looking forward
to giving it my all.

How are you, bro? Hey, brother.

But a wild card that could derail
the wedding is best man, Ben -

who's arrived with a fresh haircut

and is responsible for the speech.

So, Ben's here to help me get ready,

maybe give me some final
words of advice.

He's going to be my hype-man today.

Whoa! Out of our whole friend group,
he's probably the most, like,

goof-offy kind of guy, you know?

I think I'm more nervous than you.
I think you are, aye?

But it's just about
the cufflinks, honestly.

I think it's about
the best man speech. Ooh.

Nah, it'll be fine.

I hope so.

Don't rise me, dude.
THEY LAUGH

What could go wrong?
I think if it's on a boat,

the boat could capsize.

We might hit an iceberg, go down.

The rain could come in,
and of course...

..my speech - and it's not PG,
so I can't repeat it here.

That will be interesting
to watch unfold.

But you know what, though?

I, erm, part of my physical
comedy is in cards,

and I might have printed it out
on a big piece of paper, so...

I'll be great. Yeah.

See ya, mate. All right, brother,
see you there, man.

Good luck. Appreciate it.

How are we? I'm excited.

And here we are.

Wow.

Thank you.

Hi. Hey. Nice to meet you.

You look gorgeous. So do you guys.

He's definitely going to have
blonde hair, for sure. Yeah.

Sara is one of my closest friends.

She has very high standards
and a lot of boxes to tick -

so hopefully, all of those
are ticked for her.

Sara loves the finer things in life,

and she has, I guess,
a certain level of standards

in a partner.

So, she won't accept just anyone.

Stop it!

Is that the celebrant or the groom?
I know.

It's not me. Don't worry.
Oh, my God, I was going to say!

No offence.

None taken.

First of all, I thought that was
him walking down the aisle.

Very glad that it wasn't.

Tell us all about her.

She's stunning.
She's, like, drop-dead.

What about your...brother?

Don't worry, I'm not his brother.

In terms of what Sara is
looking for in a partner -

aesthetically,
he has beautiful eyes,

beautiful teeth, perfect height,

that is a big thing for Sara.

And I want to make sure that
she has the best.

SHE GASPS
OK. Oh, my God, he's hot.

Hey, hello!

Yes!

Well...

Hey, guys. Oh, my God, hello!

That was a better reaction
than I got.

He's cute. Oh, she'll be stoked.

Oh, my God, she's going to lose it.
Mm.

He looked absolutely perfect -

had a great smile, beautiful eyes,
and he looked great on paper.

It would be interesting to see
if he's got a little bit more

under the surface.

SARA: I know what I want.

I'm so ready to leave behind
and break old habits with my ex.

I'm here because I want to feel
that feeling again,

and I want to build that with
somebody that is good for me,

and is kind, and is trustworthy.

That past relationship's
not going to get in my way.

I hope that the guy that I want

is standing at
the end of that aisle.

Hi.

How are you?
TIM: I'm good. How you doin'?

Weird. What's your name?

I'm Tim. Tim.

Sara. Nice to meet you. Pleasure.

THEY LAUGH

Oh, my God, this is crazy.

First impressions...

I'm like, yes.

Definitely my type.
He's got a great smile.

He's got beautiful blue eyes.

First thing I noticed was
her big smile,

pearly white teeth.

I feel a good energy.
I feel a good vibe.

She's beautiful.

I want to try something
to impress her.

HE SPEAKS IN SPANISH

What?!
THEY GIGGLE

Habla... He speaks Spanish!

THEY LAUGH

Oh, my God. Tick!

I'm South American. You are?
Where are you from?

Colombia.

THEY LAUGH

They've really nailed that,
didn't they?

I think, yeah, yeah. Wow!

No, you're joking.

What?! That's crazy.

That's amazing.

Now I can practise Spanish
with my wife!

We will now hear Sara and Tim

state their personal commitments
to each other.

Oh, my God, I'm shaking.

"What you need to know about me
is I'm wildly driven

"and incredibly disciplined,

"I'm passionate, strong-willed,

"but a big softie at heart.

"When it comes to love,

"I have encountered
my fair share of setbacks."

Aww.

You're doing good, sweetie.

"Love fell short of my expectations.

"However...

"..I still hold faith that
true love exists,

"patiently waiting
to find its way to me.

"Now as I stand here,

"I realise that my journey led me
precisely where I need to be.

"Here with you...Tim.

"I promise that if you meet me
with the same level of effort

"and commitment, I will stand
by your side through thick and thin

"and support you in every endeavour
this experience has to offer.

"Here's to hopefully finding
our happily ever after."

When she was tearing up,

I wanted to support her and
wanted to, like, tell her

everything's going to be all right.

Tim, it's now time for your vows.

"Marriage, to me, is a sacred
connection and commitment.

"It's a statement saying,
'This is my forever partner.'

"You've got each other's
back no matter what,

"support each other,
lift each other up.

"And even in tough times,
you'll stick it out.

Love is passion, it's connection,

"it's a smile when you first see
each other after a day's work,

"it's a mandatory slap on the booty
every time we walk past each other.

THEY LAUGH

"It's laughing at each other's
little funny nuances.

"Love is fulfilment and warmth.

"I'll always have your back,

"and I promise you
I'll commit to really giving

"this experiment my 100%."

Everything that Tim said,

those are all things
that I look for in a partner.

It's a huge win.

Sara and Tim,

it is my absolute pleasure

to now pronounce you as
husband and wife.

Tim, you may kiss the bride.

Put your hands together
as I introduce,

for the very first time,

the newly-married couple,
Sara and Tim.

I'm like...in awe.

It's just insane.

You've just taken like everything
I've said, and been like,

"Here you go, this is your person."

I'm married to Sara. It's perfect.

Just everything matches so nicely.

Erm, yeah, I mean, look,
the experts nailed it.

The experiment's most nervous groom,

Tristan, is looking forward
to his big day -

despite an eventful night's sleep.

I kinked my neck.

So the, the sleep was like -
the bed was really comfy, but then,

I slept in a really weird posture,
I'm assuming.

But the only thing
I'm biggest concerned about is

it's my turning-around neck.

So, then, I was practising
last night in the mirror

doing one of these ones, y'know,
turning around,

and now, I'm like, it hurts.

I reckon we can go all right.

LAUGHING: Like, maybe not heaps,
but we can do it a fair bit,

we can do it a fair bit.

Meanwhile, for Cassandra...

..today symbolises new hope.

Today is bittersweet.

I thought I would've been
married and had kids by now

with my high school sweetheart.

That was a big loss.
That was painful.

But life had other plans.

And that's OK, because it has
led to this moment

right here and right now.

Joining Cassandra and preparing
to walk her down the aisle

is proud father, Moddy.

Wow.

Hello. Mm!

What a vision. Thank you.

I also brought you some flowers.

Wow! What do you think?

I've never seen her look
more beautiful.

Seriously, it was like, wow, wow!

You know, a sight to behold, really.

Oh, I love you my dear. Love you.

Your mother would be very,
very proud.

Very, very happy.
Yeah, yeah. Seriously.

Yeah, that was...the best.

The best.

Erm...yeah, she...

In 2020, the chaos and craziness
of the year that was,

she passed away from cancer.

Mm.

And Mum had this big light.

Big light. You could...

SHE SOBS

But I know that she is
definitely with me today.

I love my dad.
He means the world to me.

I was in a very dark space
for a long time,

and he helped me a lot.

Let's get you married.

You OK? Let's go! You excited?

Yeah, I'm excited.

I don't want to let go.

No, you have to.
THEY LAUGH

I'm really nervous that
she's not going to like me.

I, sadly, do have a very
big fear of rejection.

I want someone that's loving,
caring, funny.

She has a very big heart.

I'm looking for my soulmate,

and I really hope
I can meet mine today.

Well, isn't this super,
super lovely?

Hi, guys, I'm Tristan.
I'm actually extremely,

extremely nervous right now.

So, if I ramble on
a little bit that's why.

I'm Tristan. Nice to meet you.
Hi. Nice to meet you.

You guys already know
who I am, so...

Hello, Mum, how are you?

Wow, he's so tall.

This is way more terrifying,
getting up here, than I thought -

but you all look dashing, and thank
you for coming to my wedding.

How are you?

Oh, I'm over here. OK.
LAUGHTER

Here we go.

Erm...so...

..I don't really know what
to do at this point,

so I'll just stand here.

It's called waiting for the bride.

"Waiting for the bride."
Thanks, Mum.

LAUGHTER

What was your name, sorry? Zoe.

Nice to meet you, Zoe. I'm Tristan.
Nice to meet you.

I like your dress,
it's very colourful. Thank you.

GULL CRIES
I'm looking at this bird over there.

And look at these flowers,
these are lovely, as well.

This is really good!

I talk really quick. I'm sorry.
There's just so much...

There's just so much emotion.

The water is lovely.

All right, that's tucked in.
That's tucked in.

All good, all good, all good,
all good. What a day for a wedding.

I'm so tired, but I'm so excited.
I feel tired and energy,

tired and energy.

I'm just going to go around
and say "hello".

Well, I, y-y-yeah, and...

Flora is lovely.

I'm Tristan, Tristan,
Tristan, Tristan, Tristan.

Like, there's too much!
Like, it's too much!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh.

He's just nervous. Yes.

I definitely can't believe I'm
standing at the aisle.

I'm about to get married.
I'm about to meet my wife.

My mind is racing.

It's the F1 over here, you know?

I hope she likes me.

That's probably my biggest nerves,
is that she'll run away

at the end of the aisle.

If she doesn't like what she sees,
bro, I'll be the one doing

a runaway husband, you know?
I'll be so upset.

QUIETLY: Whoa!

Hi. Hello.

I'm Tri...

Hi.

Oh, wait, that's not it? Oh!

LAUGHTER

My bad! OK!
Do I turn back around now?

LAUGHTER CONTINUES
Yes. OK, wait, this way? Yeah, OK.

OK. Sorry.

I have been through
a lot in my life.

And I have felt alone for
a very long time.

But I am so ready to be
happy and in love.

Here we are. Yeah, we made it.

OK?

I'm ready to give the love.

I'm ready to be in the love.

I came to this experiment
for a husband.

Someone who is funny and charming,

and he's warm, and he's kind,

big heart, big smile...

..doesn't have to have the six pack
or the George Clooney features.

Personality is key for me.

I'm hoping for a fairy-tale ending.

Really hoping it works out.

QUIETLY: Oh, you look...!

You look stunning.

Thank you. Hello!

SHE GIGGLES
You look beautiful.

I'm Tristan. Hi, I'm Cassandra.

Excited to meet you, Cassandra.
Nice to meet you, Tristan.

I'm very happy.

Well, he's handsome!

He's just so big, and I'm so small.

He is literally a BFG -
big friendly giant!

She's so pretty.

And she didn't run away!
So, that's like a really,

really good start as it is.

She has a beautiful smile, as well.
Like, big smile, as well.

She's even got some dimples
like I do, right?

You look beautiful.
Look stunning. Thank you so much.

So, so far, killing it, so...
LAUGHTER

Ten out of ten,
so very, very well done.

Erm...yeah, my name's Tristan.
Erm...

This is Mum. Hi, hello everyone!
I met your lovely family, as well.

And then, we're here today,
our wedding day.

Yes, we're getting married today.

Yeah, I know.

What a day for it. It's perfect.
It is so exciting!

He's got these lovely eyes,
and such a fun smile.

I am drawn to him because
he's so warm-hearted, so funny.

And that's a good feeling.

Tristan. Yeah. You're up.
I'm going first.

Now, if you were to ask me what
I'm like in a relationship,

first of all, I would say
fun-loving, so get ready for

a bunch of spontaneous dates
and never sitting still.

Secondly, I'm a hopeless romantic,

so get ready to be treated like
the queen you deserve to be.

Thirdly, I'm a very caring and loyal
person,

and once I'm in, I'm all in.

As I'm standing in front
of you today, about to go on

the craziest adventures that we'll
have in our lifetime,

I can promise you we'll both shine
bright like a diamond.

BOTH: Aww!

They were beautiful.
Thank you, thank you.

You sound like the male version
of me, really.

OK, Cassandra, you're up. OK.

To my husband, Tristan...

One day I woke up and I said,

"I'm ready. I'm ready to be a wife,
a best friend, a supporter,

"a mother, and I'm ready
for my husband to come find me."

In the most unexpected, surprising,
terrifying way

that I could not have
possibly imagined,

the universe brought me you.

I'll tell you the truth when you
need to hear it

and I'll help you be
the best man you can be.

The one and only request
I ask from you,

that you step into this new
beginning with an open mind

and heart.
Let's jump in without holding back.

Yeah, done. Well done.
Well done. Well done.

That also made you feel like
so much less nervous.

LAUGHTER

Her vows were really, really good.

It was one of the most loveliest
speeches I've ever heard.

It was beautiful, it was touching.

I cannot wait to get
to know this girl.

She seems really special
and I'm really happy to meet her.

And with that, it's the moment
you've probably been

thinking about since the second you
laid eyes on each other.

Tristan and Cassandra, you may kiss.

CHEERING

WOMEN ULULATE

Married, married.

My cheek muscles like hurt a lot.

It's like I can't help smiling,
you know?

She's funny, she's pretty,
she's lovely.

Her family seems lovely.

It was just so, it was just, it
was just hectic. I'm really happy.

All right.
And you can hit that aisle.

And just come in nice
and close together, guys.

While newlyweds Cassandra and
Tristan

navigate their photo shoot...

You can trust me.
No, I won't let you fall.

We're definitely taking you
for limbo. I'm cramping.

Like, you know... No, you've got
this. I'm going to pull you back up.

Ready? Sorry, Stu,
she's coming back up.

She's cramping, you know?

Some might say
I knocked her off her feet.

THEY LAUGH

On Sydney Harbour,

the chemistry is palpable
for Sara and Tim.

Great.

And looking back towards me.

That's great.

Was I what you were expecting?

You exceed expectations.

Really? OK.

Honestly, I'm like, shocked.

Yeah. I mean, look,
the experts nailed it.

I was hoping for an initial spark,

and that's definitely what I got.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

The newlyweds, Sara and Tim!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'm, like, in awe.

Because Tim and I, like,

we already have a lot in common.

And he's definitely my type.

Cheers, hubby. Cheers!

So, I feel like I'm in a dream.
He is perfect.

Like, I'm happy. Yeah.

And Sara is about to discover even
more things she has in common

with new husband Tim.

You want some of this?
Yeah.

Here, I'll give you some of that.

I'm a huge foodie.
I'm a nutritionist,

so obviously food's like my life.

He's got kitchen scales.
So, do I.

He weighs his food. Do you?

No, you don't.
He weighs his food.

Yeah.
Two little peas in a pod.

I would say Tim is Sara's usual
type. Yeah, definitely.

He's confident and...

..he's not bad to look at.

Good work on your vows, by the way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You reckon? It was really nice.
Oh, thank you.

They were really nice.

The fact that you started
with Spanish, like, that was...

Yeah, I was like, you know, I felt
like it was a cool little touch.

That's very cool.
So what are your thoughts right now?

I mean, your vibe.
Thoughts right now?

Yeah. On me.

Oh, I'm, I'm like definitely happy.
You're happy, yeah? Yeah.

That's nice. I feel like,
physically, you are my type.

There's a lot that I feel like we
have in common,

but I feel like there's more
that we're going to get to know

that I'm excited to get to know,
you know? For sure. Yeah.

Yeah. Definitely.

Sara looks really happy.

Very shocked by that because she's
normally very tough and

has her guard up.

Haven't seen any red flags yet,
but time will tell.

Oh, now I get to interrogate you.

Erm, your last relationship -
what happened there?

She was unfaithful to me.

OK. She cheated?

Yeah.

And then, you know,
like, it was, it was...

It's the worse, isn't it?

Yeah. Yeah.

So, six years.
We were together for six years.

That's a long time.

I was going to propose
to her this year.

What?!

Oh, my God!

When did you, erm, break up?

It ended about six months ago.

Oh...

SHE LAUGHS

That was, erm, unexpected. Erm...

Yeah, hopefully it's not too much of
a curveball for you, you know?

Well, I mean, I...

I think my biggest concern
with that is just that

it's like so recent.

You know? I guess it is. It still is
probably pretty recent, hey?

I need your help.

To get... What?
Need your help to get over your ex?

Oh, no, no. Not like that.
What the hell?

Oh, like, damn,
that does not sound good.

Like, that's not
what I meant...at all.

That was like a slap in the face.
Like...

I...would say probably not.

Definitely. Absolutely, yes.

I am over my ex. 100%.

Like, I'm in this, you know?
I want to commit. I want to try.

Are you? Yeah.
But that's, like, so recent.

Oh, my God.

What's happening?

It looks like a bomb has dropped.

I feel like this has triggered me.

I've been in this situation where
I've been, like, hung up on an ex.

I don't know if I believe him.

I'm not here to help him
get over his ex.

I don't want to babysit him.
Like, don't waste my time.

She seems really annoyed at him.

I've seen her not into guys.
It does not look good. Yeah.

I've got to pee.

Oh, my God.
I wanna get out of here.

Hola. I will mingle. OK.

Where are they going?

I just knew it was too good
to be true.

Following a joyous ceremony,

Cassandra and Tristan join their
family and friends

at their reception.

Feeling all good, though?

Yeah. Feeling happy, feeling good.
Feeling happy.

So, explain the fams to me.

So over here you've got, for me,

so the older looking dude,
that's my dad,

that's my stepdad.

That's my mum and my brother.
Who's your families?

I've got my dad, my sister,
my cousin, my sister-cousin.

All right. Hold one sec,
I'll go to your dad.

I'll be back.
What's your dad's name?

No, I'm going to go and say hi
cos it's a respect thing,

it's a nice thing to do. It's a nice
thing to do. Aw, Moddy.

Family is extremely important to me,
so I wanted to introduce myself.

I just want to make sure they
understand that I'm not going to

break her heart, you know? Like,
you, like, you know?

Moddy, I heard you were
the lovely, the lovely,

the lovely dad so I thought I'd just
come to say hello. Aw, bless.

I'm sorry I'm so tall, my friend.
I'm sorry.

How are you doing?
I'm good, good, good, good.

I'm definitely a lot more
relaxed now, though.

But you look well. I love the tie.
The tie is rad.

I think, I think we're going to
get on fine.

Yeah, we're going to become best
friends in no time.

We're going... You're going to be
fine. Yeah, best friends in no time.

I like him already. Check.

He's so sweet.

I am so impressed with Tristan.

He is bold, courageous, funny,

and I adore that.

I, I really adore him.

Nice to meet you.

I think the experts did a great job.

I heard you were the lovely sister.
I'm Tristan.

Like, he's just welcoming,

he gave my dad the biggest hug.

My sisters,
he's laughing with them.

He's got a big personality,
big laugh. I love that.

I love it so much. Beautiful.

I love a man that puts in
the effort with my family.

They're everything to me.

Feel like I'm going into this
experiment with a terrific person.

We are about to start speeches.

OK, we're going to start off with
the lovely father.

Moddy, are you ready? Yes?

No.
LAUGHTER

All right, we'll cancel,
we'll cancel it.

Wow. I was...
I got something written, OK?

I think, I think I do.

Ah! It says, "Hi, everyone."

Hi.

Friends at first sight.

CHEERING AND LAUGHTER

I'm the father of
the beautiful bride,

meeting the groom
for the first time.

And, since we're all friends now,
please call me Moddy.

Moddy!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, I'm both excited and,
er, I was apprehensive.

I was before, not now.
I've had a few drinks.

But I've met Tristan.
I'm not apprehensive any more.

I know you, my daughter,
Cassandra, you'll be in good hands.

Oh, thank you. Good man.

But, Tristan,

if she causes you trouble,
please don't come to me.

And, Cassie, this is serious now.

If he gives you trouble...

..call her.

I won't put up with anything.

Her dad was adorable.

Moddy is the definition
of what I would want

in a father-in-law, you know?
And he's hilarious.

He was so funny, so welcoming.

Like, it's just, like,
I don't know what else to say.

Well, let me tell you a few things
about my dearest Cassie.

So, Cassandra is the name given
to her by her mother.

I gave her the name Sunshine.

And, to this day, her birth
certificate is Cassandra Sunshine,

because she's always been my
sunshine, even in cloudy days.

Cassie...

..the more I've known you,

the more I'm glad I met
your mother.

Aww...

30 years.

And I met her mother.

She was like, just like here,
she was sitting over there.

And it was a party like this group,
and I saw her,

I go, "Wow!"

And that was love at first sight,
not marriage.

It was love at first sight.

Your mother would be very,
very happy and proud of you today.

Thanks.

Actually, I know she's here.

I think I should finish by saying
I truly wish you both

a life that's full of love,
fun, lots of laughter,

and always remember, there's always
much love here for you.

Always much love here for you,
and for you, Tristan.

Thank you, Moddy. That was lovely.

Mic drop.

Cheers.

Moddy's speech was amazing.
He looked like he was so proud.

Like, their family
cares about her so much

that you know
she's a special person.

I'm glad that I got matched
with someone like her.

I'm going to be there,
make sure that she feels happy.

100%.

Sara's picture-perfect wedding has
come crashing down

after learning that
Tim's previous relationship

ended just six months ago.

He, erm, was in a
six-year relationship,

and was going to propose to her,

and they just broke up
six months ago.

Like, serious?

I just feel like I know what it's
like to not be over an ex.

I was like, "Shit."

What's going to happen here is,
I'm going to, like,

start to like this guy

and then I'm going to get
my heart broken

because he's going to be
still in love with his ex.

I'm disappointed.

Like, it was going so well.

SHE LAUGHS

Yeah.

SHE LAUGHS
It just feels a bit close to home.

I've had past experiences where
I haven't been over my ex,

and I've told people that
I've been over my ex and I haven't.

I continuously just compared all
the people that I dated to my ex.

So it's like you... I don't know.
You just can't...

You just can't know
someone's genuine feelings.

After opening up to Sara about my
past relationship,

she kind of voiced her concerns
a little bit about that.

And now I feel like there's
a bit of an off vibe,

so hopefully we can get it back
on track.

Is everyone enjoying their night?

Now I'm going to pass it to
the best man.

Lovely haircut.

Ben. Ha-ha. Thank you, Pedro.

This is the rogue best friend
that says everything. Yeah.

I was not surprised when I heard

Tim was partaking in this
experiment,

cos Tim is a man of science.

He's quite fond of experimentation.

Experiment 551 -

romance at high speed.

Is road head safe?

Oh!

WOMAN LAUGHS

What? I hope so.

The comments about giving head
on the road is disgusting.

Experiment 759 -

love at first sight through
beer goggles.

Experiment 426. This experiment took
place several years ago.

799... Too naughty.

386...
..and he did, on many occasions.

Cut it. 599... 391... 782.

Oh...

Talk to Tim after
the speech if you want

the results of any
of these experiments.

I don't want to know.

SOMEONE COUGHS

HE LAUGHS

Experiment 381...

Tim had the idea
to pack his own lunch

at a four-day music in the middle of
an Australian summer.

On the very last day, we sat in awe

as he devoured rancid,
four-day-old chicken.

Oh!
SHE LAUGHS

This speech is
an absolute train wreck.

So here we are. Experiment 865.

I mean, Sara.

Tim is a wonderful human being.

He radiates charisma like
the sun.

And, Sara,

you can find solace in the fact,

rancid or not,

Tim will still eat you.

Thank you.

SMATTERING OF APPLAUSE

There was some, some moments which
might not have been,

er, potentially not PG.

I hope that it doesn't come back
and bite me in the arse.

I'm sure everybody here is
going to remember that speech

for years on end.

Was that it?

Does anyone else want to make
a speech?

That was a red flag if
I've ever seen it.

What did I say?

Ben's speech was really derogatory.

I thought it was disgusting.

To say some of those things

in front of people
that you've never met before,

especially the bride,

was absolutely, like, not OK.

Tim, Sara,

please step up for your
first dance.

OK.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, my God. This is like
going to go horribly wrong.

I can just see it. Like a car crash.
Me too, me too.

I'm just like, really annoyed.

I would have gone into this,
like, full-force,

but now I'm like,
"Just take it back."

Moving forward,
Tim needs to step up.

Yeah.

But like really, really make
me feel special.

At this point in my life,
I will not accept

anything less than 100%,
ever.

If I was going to take
minimal effort,

I would just be dating in Sydney.

After a magical wedding day,

Cassandra and Tristan are packing
for their honeymoon...

Right, as you can see, you're way
more tidier than I am. Er...

THEY LAUGH

What happened?

..to the McLaren Vale wine region
in South Australia.

Oh, I gotta pack him.
Oh, you got to pack your bear.

I gotta pack my bear.
You got to pack the old Rufus.

He can come to the honeymoon.
He can come to the honeymoon.

But, before they head off,

Tristan has organised a surprise
for Cassandra's 30th birthday.

No! Now, just quickly,
it is your 30th birthday.

Your sisters are good.
Oh, my God.

We've done some diggings, all right?

Stop! They are so beautiful.

So, we got flowers
and then we found out

that Tim Tams are your
favourite chocolate.

But we didn't know which one,
you know, so it's either blue or...

Oh, I love both of them equally.
No, OK, sweet. There we go.

Oh, Tristan!

He's amazing.
I've done nothing for him at all,

except be his wife,

and he's surprised me
with two presents already.

That's the best morning ever.
No worries, it's your birthday.

And you're my wife. You've got to
freaking treat yourself, you know?
It's your wife.

Very good husband material.

He's in the lead -
two Tristan, zero Cass.

I've done nothing.

Let's roll.

They're so beautiful.

While Cassandra and Tristan jet off
on their honeymoon...

..Sara and Tim have arrived in
the tropical paradise of Fiji

after a turbulent start
to their wedding.

Happy honeymoon.

I was obviously very fired up
at the wedding.

The dovey swan.
Cute.

Fruit and snacks. Yum!

Oh, my God, how cute.

Like, obviously, his past and his
relationship, it being so recent,

erm, yeah, I think that scares me
a little bit because

it's just hurt of my past, like,

something that just consistently
kind of triggers something

inside of me.

We're snacky people, aren't we?

We are now.
SHE LAUGHS

And we've got a fire.
Oh, my God, we've got our own pool.

Oh!

Sara and Tim, Bula.

But, on this honeymoon,
hopefully we can relax a little bit

and just kind of enjoy
each other's company.

All right, the moment of truth.
Oh, big shower.

Tim and I,
we were matched so well.

Like, I'm surprised at how much we
have in common,

that I need to give him a chance.

Oh, my God, that's huge.
Oh, bath. Perfect.

Take a bath.

In the hopes he can recapture their
initial spark,

Tim has planned a romantic dinner.

This is so nice.

Superb. Wow.

So cute.

After opening up
to Sara about my past relationship,

and my best man speech on our
wedding day,

I feel like
there's a bit of an off vibe.

I like her.

We had such a good initial
attraction and chemistry,

so I have planned a dinner for us,

and hopefully we can get back
on track.

How do you feel about
the experiment?

It's just like very intense.

HE CHUCKLES

It's very hard to get used to,
but...

Yeah, it feels like it's been weeks.

Like, that's how it feels,
you know what I mean? Like...

Oh, yeah,
it's just like dragging on. Like...

No!
SHE LAUGHS

I'm taking serious offence here.

No, don't, don't take offence
at that. I'm taking offence.

You're saying it feels like
eight weeks

and we've been here
for like 30 minutes.

Tonight is going so well.

We're having normal conversation.
Yeah, I'm feeling positive.

It definitely is cold. Yeah, it is.
I should've brought a jacket.

Thank you.

Oh, that is so nice.
You look good.

Fancy.
THEY LAUGH

It's exactly what I wanted.

Like, hopefully it just continues
on this path.

Oh!

It's not good Tequila.

It's Don Julio.
It's not great.

You need to, erm...

What?

Nothing.
You don't need to do anything.

Why are you stopping yourself from
saying things?

Just say it.

Fleeting moment. Passed.

OK.

Nah, I was going to say you
need to relax.

Oh, yeah,
you don't want to say that.

To tell me to relax when I'm very
clearly not freaking out,

you know that that would piss me
off.

HE CLEARS THROAT

I was just... I was just joking
around. I didn't say anything.

It's not a joke.

Tim. Oh, my God.

Just cut me some slack, you know?

I am trying.

SHE LAUGHS

Have you ever dealt
with women before?

They don't like to be told to relax.

I was going to make a joke,
and I was trying to hold it back.

But it feels like she's

really nit-picking at every
little thing.

I, I don't know
how to keep her happy.

I'm trying to connect with you.

No, but...
You can't feel that?

Yeah, I definitely...
I was.

I was feeling that.

Yeah. But then you just go and say
that

and you knew that that would,
that that would not sit well.

God, I just wish you didn't say
that. I'm, like, in such a mood now.

I'm like pretty off it.

I don't like when people
intentionally push my buttons.

We're having a good night.

Don't let it spoil the night,
you know?

I think everyone can agree that
when you tell a woman to relax,

like, most of the time
- 99%...

I didn't tell you to relax.
..a woman...

I didn't tell you to relax.
..would not be relaxed after that.

I didn't tell you to relax.

Yeah, you did. No, I didn't.

No? No, I didn't.
What did you say?

I bit my tongue.
You said, "What did you say?"

I said, "I'm going to hold it."
You said, "What did you say?

"What did you say?"
And I said, "Relax."

Oh, well, obviously... And I didn't
tell you to relax directly,

so don't put words in my
mouth, please.

If you want to play it, if you want
to play this game, you know?

What game?!

What game?

LAUGHING: You tell me.

I'm leaving.

Oh, man!

SHE SOBS AND SNIFFS

I don't need someone
to fuel my fire,

I need someone to calm me down.

Next time...

Lucinda's getting married...

You'll meet my shakti chaos

and the damsel in me that wants you
to rub my body cos it...

SCREAMING

..in the wildest wedding...

Everyone went nuts.

Come on.

..in MAFS history.

Oh, my goodness!
Oh, God!

You all right?
She's going to have her baby.

WOMAN WAILS
Jesus!

Is this how you imagined your
wedding ceremony going so far?

I think it's better.
