This is quite an extreme way of finding true love.

Let's go.

Three couples tied the knot in paradise...

It's Suit Man!

You look really stacked from the back.

You look stacked from the front.

..and their stranded honeymoon began.

This is wild!

I feel like we're going to have to have the poo chat at some point.

I don't think I know what I've signed up for.

Like, physically, like, you are exactly my type.

Speed dating, I walked into the room and my ex was sat at the table.

Sam has just broken my heart, actually.

Coming up,

three new couples take the plunge.

Oosh!

No way I am doing... There is absolutely no way!

But with new arrivals making waves...

Number 28, there was an instant attraction for me,

straight off the bat. I would like to get to know her more.

..will it be sink or swim?

I'm gone.

You do not have to send me a follow-up message.

Thousands of miles away in the Philippines,

three newlywed couples are waking up

after spending their first night together on a deserted beach.

And for some, understandably, it's still not quite sunk in.

I can't believe we're actually married, though.

Er... It looks good on you.

Thank you.

I think it's just dawning on me,

like, how vastly we are stripped back on everything.

Mae's making the time easier, because she's reassuring me,

just as much as I'm trying to reassure her,

although I'm doing it through, like, gritted teeth.

I'm like, "Yeah, no, it'll be fine."

Boo.

How did you sleep?

My back's obviously been better.

What are you doing? Trying to make breakfast in bed?

Yeah, that was the plan.

I was planning on getting this open and taking it back to you, but...

Oh, well.

Oh, that's really sweet.

Coming out to Moray making me a coconut to bring to bed,

I was like, "God, he just gets fitter by the minute, doesn't he?"

Oh, that's good.

That is needed.

Has anyone told you, you look like someone?

Who are you thinking?

Channing Tatum.

Channing Tatum? No, I've not had that one.

Have you not? No.

Obviously, I fancy him and I want him to fancy me,

but I feel disgusting.

I'm just a bit like, oh...

How are you feeling, anyway, after last night?

Yeah, I think, um...

I'm glad that you're here.

I normally feel quite confident with, like,

no make-up on or anything, but...

Um, yeah, I feel like this is taking it to another, another level.

I think, waking up, it's dawned on me,

like, we are properly stranded.

So, I think it'll be a long three weeks.

I don't think, um... I don't think you'll annoy me.

No? I think you're, like...

You're just, like, really cute.

Do you know what I mean? So, I'm just a bit, like...

You know, if you do something that, like, would normally be annoying?

Yeah, yeah. With you, I'm just like, well...

Am I your usual type?

No, you're not.

I'd say, 95% of girls that I've dated would be brunette.

Oh, really? Yeah.

Really did not expect that.

I'm just not his usual type, but that's clearly not working for him.

He should be grateful for this blonde, you know what I mean?

This is where, like, this whole process, I think, hopefully,

helps me, because I just wouldn't give people enough time.

Mm. And I think that's it.

I just need to give enough time.

Wow, lucky me, then. A full three weeks with Moray!

I bet all the girls are jealous back home.

I don't know about that.

Mae's a lovely girl. I think she's just a bundle of energy,

but I feel, personally, that she's more into me than I'm into her.

I've never been one person to just jump into,

"Oh, I've got feelings here and there."

Probably not vibing to the same level that she might be hoping for.

Marriage is a funny old game, isn't it?

On one hand, you're finding new things out about each other.

And on the other, it's like you've been together for years.

I can't really be arsed, to be honest with you.

Why? Obviously, the bug bites, like, just going off all the time.

I'm just getting sick of it.

So, to think, that was only night one.

I don't know how I'm going to do three more weeks of this.

I think it is going to be a struggle.

Um...

Oh, it's just getting a bit hot.

I was in a holiday spirit, but I believe the spirit has worn away.

I think, for me, I'd just like to wake up

and be able to put some fresh underwear on.

People think about lesbian relationships, right,

stereotypically, you've got a femme

and you've got a masculine one, right?

Going for a jog. All right. All right, babe.

So, people would assume that I would be finding this harder than her,

but I think she's a bit of a princess.

The only thing that we can do in this situation, you know,

is communicate with each other,

and I just want to make sure I'm doing that as much as I can.

While Helen and Abby are having to ride some rough waves,

over on Hannah and Sam's beach, it's nothing but cool, calm waters.

Morning. First night in paradise.

Mm. I... Do you know what? I've got no complaints.

I'm pretty comfy right now, to be honest. You look it.

First morning waking up as a newlywed, I'm feeling amazing.

It's nice to have a bit of time, just with me and my new wife.

Quite a fun first 24-hour conversation.

After we got out what we needed to get out last night,

it really sort of cleared the air.

The conversation about my ex, I think, hopefully, I reassured her,

and it's allowed her to open up a little bit.

And you feel, like, completely closed from that last chapter?

Yeah, of course.

I'm not asking you to trust me straight away, but I'm here for you.

Ah, that's really nice to hear.

Me and Sam, last night, delved into the whole elephant in the room

with his ex being at speed dating.

I feel very reassured by him, currently, but it's a case of,

if she's popped up once, she might pop up again.

And I just need to know that when that does happen,

that I'm going to be Sam's priority.

It's going to be an interesting few weeks ahead of us, I think.

I think it might be.

I have a small inkling it just may be, too.

With three couples settling into stranded life,

at the speed dating event, Cupid's arrow was firing up again.

Hello! Hello, how are you doing?

So, what do you want to ask? We've got five minutes. Er...

And it looks as though some daters have their own set criteria.

Are you Christian, by the way?

I'm very busy on a Sunday.

Let's move on.

I'm Christian. Oh, OK.

Are you Christian? I'm not, no.

I have to look in your soul.

Do you believe in God?

Yeah. Christian? Yeah! Ah!

Are you? Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God!

Amazing. That's my number one thing, that I look for.

So, that's my... Yeah.

My future partner has to be a man of God.

Like, that's an absolute non-negotiable for me.

He has to be strong in his faith,

and has to be able to, you know, really just sacrifice his life.

Oh, boy, that's a bit too...

That's a bit... That's a bit...

So, basically, I'm your wife now.

Yeah, left the ring in the car.

Don't worry, I'll go and grab it later. OK, yeah.

As long as it's a big ring.

Oh, it's... It's only like an 18-carat diamond.

Something light.

Growing up, I was born in Nigeria,

and I lived there till I was eight, and then I moved to Cambridge.

So, I'm a posh baddie.

So, my dad left when I was really young.

My mum raised us by herself.

And, yeah, I love her.

When you get married, you have to bring up what you have learnt

when you were growing up, because you've been a good girl.

I think my childhood definitely shaped who I am today.

You come first. Mm.

You come first.

I think it also created the need for, like,

emotional and physical stability.

I want to do life with someone.

I want to share experiences, share family,

and just have a mate for life.

Oh, my gosh. How many kids do you want?

How many can you manage? That's the question.

I want twins. Yeah? But if I get just twins at the start, that's it.

Looking at Number 27, I was like, "Yeah.

"Yes, that is a bit of me."

He's tall, he's got a good build.

Like, we align in our faith.

Yes, please, ten times over.

I love him.

Where are you going to take me to for my birthday?

For your birthday? Er... Or for our first-month anniversary?

Nothing crazy. Maybe the Maldives or something? Something light.

Bye, number 27.

Number two. Oh, where do I begin?

Amazing woman, amazing woman.

We had an instant chemistry.

Energy-wise, glowing.

Hi, hi! Nice to meet you. Oh, look at that.

However, there wasn't a direct, instant attraction for me.

Love your teeth, by the way.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Um, so you've got lovely teeth, too.

One question I'll ask you, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

If money wasn't an issue... Oh, I love this question.

I always ask this question to my friends. Yeah, yeah.

I was texting this last night, actually. You're stalking my...

You've been stalking me on the low, isn't it? How'd you know?

How'd you know? It's my little...

Yeah, I'm like, "Number 27, Number 27!" It's a dark art.

If money wasn't an issue... Yeah.

..what would you spend your life doing?

I would spend my life, obviously, helping others.

My focus would be living a life where I help other people

find a purpose. Like, that Christian...

Oh, same! I love it!

Number 28's ticking some boxes for me.

She's someone who I think... She's an attractive woman.

She's also well-spoken. She's also quite smart.

Definitely, I could see myself dating number 28 again.

Oh, so sad, you have to go!

Oh, so short! So nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

After each five-minute date,

our speed daters give their feedback and select their favourites.

I actually think I'm pregnant.

What? From them.

But they won't discover who they're stranded with

until they see them at the altar on the other side of the world.

It still hasn't sunk in that I'm actually getting married.

I've dreamt about my wedding day for a very long time,

so the little girl in me is screaming right now.

This is it.

I've got no more heartbreaks left in me.

I've got no more swagger left in me.

This is going to be my forever husband.

I'm hoping number 27 is waiting for me at the end of that aisle,

but what if it's not the person that I want it to be?

What if he doesn't like me? What if he's disappointed?

Like, I am so nervous. Like, my heart is beating so fast.

But I'm ready to see who's waiting for me at the end of the aisle.

I'm hoping to meet the one that I feel

I was supposed to go on this journey with.

There are two girls that I'm actually excited for.

So, it'd be number 28 and number two, I'll be happy with either/or.

But I'd say, whoever I get is what God wants.

How you doing?

How are you? I'm nervous, I'm shaking.

Oh, God, don't be. Oh...

I am so happy that it's number 27.

I knew I wanted to do this journey with him.

So, walking up and seeing it's him, I'm just so happy.

What's your name?

David. What's yours? My name is Ini. Ini Alua.

Ini Alua?

Oh, Lord.

Seeing Ini just now just made me feel so good.

There wasn't an initial attraction the first time seeing her.

But I feel like, because we have that chemistry,

I genuinely believe that we'll build a bond over time,

and that attraction will probably build as well.

You look gorgeous. Thank you. Sheesh! Thanks.

OK, OK, OK, OK.

When I was younger, people knew me as a player.

I didn't get into relationships with girls, I was just sleeping around.

But truly, I was unhappy inside.

And I feel like, when I realised nothing was bringing me joy,

one day, I just cried to God,

and that was a changing period for me that made me really shape

myself and my faith, and get close to God and know my purpose in life.

Growing up, I went to a boarding school.

And you know, for me, that was traumatic at the time,

and it made me feel isolated.

Made me feel like, am I really loved?

So, when it comes to dating, I can be easily put off.

All it takes is that one thing. It could be so minor.

But I think it comes from a sense of that fear of rejection.

But it's something that I'm really, really, really working on.

What are you looking forward to most about marriage?

Like, are you sure? I feel like I'm ready for it, because...

The reason why I say that is, because I'm used to, you know,

thinking with the mindset that

I'm only going into a relationship when I have everything together.

And the problem is, in-between I've been meeting these amazing women.

And because I feel like I'm not complete, I will push them away.

So, for me, I'm looking forward to actually having a family.

My upbringing has really shaped the type of family I want, in ways,

like, I want to make sure that I have Christmas pyjama sets,

we celebrate Easter.

I just want to have a family, where I can give them

the childhood I wanted.

David and Ini, hello and welcome.

Although this marriage is not legally binding,

the step you are taking is a big one.

Oh...

Lord of mercy!

Be careful.

Careful. OK. Yeah, OK.

We're good, we're good.

I am now inviting you to share your vows.

David, would you please start?

Ini, life is full of unexpected adventures,

and somehow, this one has led me to you.

We have both searched for love in our own ways,

but perhaps now it's time to see if this is God's way.

As Proverbs 18:22 says,

"He who finds a wife, finds a good thing."

So, here's to us, to this adventure, and to whatever God has in store.

Oh, that's so cute!

I like that.

Ini, would you please read yours?

Number 27, the moment we saw each other, we were drawn to each other.

And I knew in that moment,

you were the one I wanted to go on this journey with.

I promise, as your wife, to go through all of life's adventure

with you, whether it's figuring out how to survive

on a stranded island, being your personal hype man,

or praying together, or just figuring out what's for dinner.

Let's do this.

My God, OK.

Oh...

You may now exchange rings.

Right, I'll do yours first.

Cheers.

Perfect.

You may now share your first kiss.

Oh, yeah.

Congratulations, and good luck.

Thank you.

Being married, oh, gosh.

I think it's really going to hit home

once I'm on the beach with her and we're spending that time together,

and we start to get to know each other more.

Were you nervous? I wasn't initially, until I...

Did you know... Did you think it was going to be me?

50-50.

There was another 50?

No comment, no comment.

I was like, I don't know if it's going to be you,

it's going to be this one. Yeah, I was like...

You should have kept that to yourself.

I feel taken aback by that comment.

It makes me feel a type of way,

because I don't understand what he means by that.

Was he hoping for someone else?

Like, is he not happy with me here?

I just hope that we work it out, the two of us.

How are you feeling? Um, I'm excited. I'm nervous.

What are you nervous about?

What the life on the island's going to be like. Mm.

Oh, I think that's our home.

That's it, right there. Wait, is this where they're dropping us?

No, this can't be where they're dropping us.

Every man for themselves. I'll see you on the island. Yeah.

I'll see you on the island.

Fresh from the altar, Ini and David must now tackle

married life together, completely reliant upon one another.

Jumping off the boat and swimming ashore,

hopefully, we both don't drown, cos my swimming skills ain't the best.

I'm glad it's David I'm stranded with.

I'm not sure how I feel about being stranded in general,

but hearing that comment, it really did, you know, affect my feelings.

They'll arrive at their new home with nothing

but each other and the absolutely soaking clothes on their backs.

I feel like it's going to be a great experience.

I feel like God has put us together at this point.

Is it going to be a long-life bond, or it don't work?

Home, sweet home.

Argh, David!

You good? Are you good?

I'm feeling excitement, because I'm like, wow.

Just taking in the scenery.

I feel good, knowing that it's Ini,

but we had a moment where she asked me if there's...

if there's, like, oh, was she the only person? Is there anybody else?

So, yeah, I'll just have to sit down and explain

and hopefully she does understand.

Oh, my God! This bed is a bit small. Do you want to sleep out there?

Yeah, you can. You can, man. By yourself?

Let me set it up for you. Same size as well.

Perfect size, height, every requirement.

It's made for you.

So, seeing the bed and the set-up was actually lovely.

Where's the toilet?

Then I went to the toilet.

There is no way I am doing...

There is absolutely no way!

What have I signed up for?

We'll survive.

No!

She'll have to get used to it.

The nearest plumber's 500 miles away.

We all know how stressful it can be,

choosing what to wear on your honeymoon.

Luckily for this lot, they don't have that trouble,

because all they have is their wedding outfits

and a pair of pyjamas.

You know what? Now would be an excellent time to be stranded

with a clothes designer.

Sam? Yeah?

I need ideas, I need inspo.

Today, I want to get a little bit creative.

Get out our old machete, and sort of just chop that dress up.

Not too short. OK. Right, I trust you.

No... Whoa! Too high! You're going too...!

I'm in brilliant hands.

If there's going to be any straight man out there to cut up

a wedding dress, it's Sam. Sam's your man.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

That's a strong word, for someone who's in a ripped-up wedding dress.

I'll take it, though.

You look good.

I think yours is in better condition than mine.

I don't know where this got that dirty.

Do I look as nice as I did yesterday? Of course.

She's obviously complimenting me quite a lot,

and I'm just not really feeling it back.

Oh, it's actually quite smart, to be fair. Yeah.

So, I feel a little bit uncomfortable.

Nearly there. Mind my leg.

I've got you. OK.

Wow, babe!

It's so good to get the weight of this dress off.

She has done the back a little bit short, but I think that's...

You know, that's Abby all over.

I think they're fab. What do you think of those bad boys?

I don't think you need them on. It's giving Oliver Twist, to be honest.

Very good, bum is bumming.

You can't find nothing like that on the market.

Right now, things are going very well.

I'm very happy with Hannah.

I wasn't expecting for us to be as close as we are,

as quickly as we've become.

Right, that should give some support.

I feel really relieved that we've moved past my ex, Megan,

because I want this to work with Hannah.

I want us to find a way to move forward together,

and for us to enjoy being stranded together.

Speed, speed, speed. OK, there we go.

Hello.

Hello! Hello. How are you, 15? I'm not too bad, eight.

How are you doing? You look lovely. You look gorgeous. So do you.

My God!

I'm a really good flirt, yeah.

What are we going to have? How many kids?

If I fancy a boy, he'll definitely know.

I have no qualms going after someone if I like them.

Oh, my God. I think I love you.

Give me a compliment.

I just have a very naturally flirty personality, as well.

Like, show me someone I couldn't flirt with.

Maybe my boss, but that's...

That's different.

I've been single for seven or eight months now.

There were cracks in the relationship, it wasn't perfect.

I think we were in love, and for me,

there were elements of the relationship that were worth fixing.

Unfortunately, he decided, rather than focusing on fixing

the relationship, he wanted to focus on his company.

It was a bit shit, because it was two days before my birthday.

So, he could have given me a better birthday present.

God, I can't wait for my ex to see this.

I'm here for me.

I'm here to find love and a strong relationship with someone.

I don't want to be another chapter in somebody's life.

I'm looking for the whole book.

Hello! Hello, how are you?

Lovely to meet you. You look like Superman.

Everyone starts... Yes.

Yeah, but... that's good for the ego, isn't it? Yeah.

Yeah, no. It's, Er, yeah... What do you do?

Um, I'm in property investment.

OK. What about you?

I'm in start-up, tech start-up. Very cool!

I am a programmer,

so I'm a coder and I don't think I look like your typical geek,

but I am a bit of a nerd.

If we're at a party together, are we French exiting,

or are we saying goodbye to everybody in the room?

I would French exit. I'm the same. Yeah. Love that.

This is good, OK. It's great.

I've been single for, I think, six years.

The last relationship did a number on me,

and after that break-up, I wasn't very confident.

I started doubting myself on a lot of things.

In a relationship, I tend to do this thing

where I start to get a bit close with a girl.

And then I normally sabotage it in some way,

by just pulling away completely.

What's the most important thing for you in a relationship?

I think, er, communication.

Mm. It's having the deep conversations about life and change

and emotions, and then also being silly and light-hearted as well.

Yeah, yes. Like, that's me in a relationship. This is good.

I like this. This is a good sign.

My father actually passed away when I was five.

So, quite a...

..I guess, tough...

tough period of my life, as my mum then raised us.

But thankfully, my grandparents basically spent

a lot of time with us.

I think my grandad taught me a lot about how to treat my partner.

He was the perfect gentleman.

So, simple as the little things, like holding the door.

Really looking after your partner, the way they should be,

and making them feel like an absolute princess.

You're very beautiful. So are you.

I mean, 100%, I think I deserve love.

Everyone does.

Best case is we have the most amazing time on this island.

And then it's, yeah, the rest of our lives together.

Well, I'm... I can't. I'm, like, shaking.

Oh, I'm not any more. I've been shaking the whole time!

Thank you for that. It was lovely to meet you, 12.

Yeah, that was lovely. Yeah, and I'll see you in...

When we get married. One month, yeah.

Number eight, she's the one. She's amazing.

I just felt this intense energy from her, which is what I look for.

Yeah, the vibe was undeniable.

There's a level of confidence to number 12.

He was interesting.

He's obviously very, very good-looking.

I would go on a date with him, 100%, to explore things again.

But there's other people I fancy more, so...

Hello. Hello, hi. I'm, um, 20...

Lovely to meet you. How are you?

Nice to meet you. I'm 28. 28? I am 12.

Nice to meet you, number 12. You have an accent.

I, er... So do you.

Yes, I do. What do you like to do?

I love Pilates, I love gym.

I'm very spiritual, I love to meditate.

You're clearly in great shape. Oh, thank you. So are you.

Thank you. Pilates is hard. It's awful. It's so hard, it's so...

Yeah, it is hard. Actually, it's... It's well easy.

28's cool. I really get on with her.

I think there's definitely a sexual attraction there. She's hot.

What do you... What do you do?

I work in technology sales. OK. What about you?

OK, I'm in tech as well. Yeah, I've got my own start-up.

Do you? Why do you think you're single?

Um, because I've spent the last ten years working on my career.

OK, cool. What about you? Same.

Yeah, I very much went through a bad break-up, won't go into that.

Yeah, yeah, same. And then just went, you know what?

I'm going to work on me and my career. Yeah, totally.

Yeah, yeah. And it's kind of... Do you find it's maybe...

it's going to be hard to get out of that and adapt to being...?

No, I think I am ready, but it does depend on the right partner.

Because I'm very... 100%. ..I'm very much into my personal development.

You seem like a lot of fun as well.

No? I am.

Number 12, mm, yeah, ticking all the boxes.

Fit, we work in the same industry.

Funny, tall, sexy - tick, tick, tick, tick.

Loving the vibe with this guy,

so fingers crossed and he feels the same.

Well, it's lovely to meet you. It's been fun. Nice to meet you!

Number 28, she's great. Yeah, she's good fun.

No, it's not goodbye.

Mwah. Nice to meet you, number 12.

We were just vibing, both on a flirty and fun side.

Out of all the girls I've dated,

I would like to be stranded on Honeymoon Island

with number 28 or number eight.

It is my wedding day. I'm buzzing for this, just so excited.

I just don't know who I've been matched with,

and I think that anticipation is just running through...

..but I think you've got to be open-minded.

I'm a big believer in fate.

A lot of things had to align for me to be here.

This is not normal, to go and get married to a random,

but I do think the universe has manoeuvred things

out of the way to make me stand here today.

I consider myself a spiritual woman.

I meditate a lot,

and I have devoted myself to living my most aligned path.

I do not make any big decisions without consulting the universe.

Loyalty is incredibly important to me.

I have had many unloyal guys in the past,

but I'm just really trusting the universe here.

I'm so ready to meet my person.

I'm ready for love, and I hope I get number 12.

Hello. Hello.

How are you? Mwah.

Wow, you look beautiful.

Thank you so much! You look great as well.

My name's Taniae. Taniae, I'm Ollie.

Nice to see you again, Ollie.

Yes.

I'm absolutely over the moon.

She's stunning.

She's a pocket Aussie rocket.

Have you done anything like this before?

Get married? No, it's my first time.

What about you? You know, getting stranded.

I'm really, really happy.

He is who I wanted, so, tick.

Taniae and Oliver, hello and welcome.

You have both come here today with open hearts.

This is a place where you can leave behind the distractions

of the outside world and focus on each other.

I think everything happens for a reason,

and maybe every rejection, and also, you know, heartbreak,

closed door, has been, like,

pushing me down that aisle to meet Ollie.

I now invite you to share your vows.

So...

I've never been one for speeches,

but if there's one thing I've learnt,

it's that life gives you back exactly what you put in.

So, today, I'm all in, no hesitation.

But I'll be honest, relationships haven't always been easy for me

because I have been hurt in the past.

So for a while, I've kept my guard up.

But the best things in life, they come from taking a chance.

At the end of the day, I'm just a man standing in front of a girl

asking her to take a chance, not just on the experience, but on me.

Whew! I love that.

Taniae, would you please read yours? Thank you.

The last time I saw you, you met me as Number 28.

There's a few fundamental things you should probably know about me.

So, firstly...

..I have a son.

His name is Salvador.

He loves kibble.

Kibble? He has four legs and a big bushy tail.

I will love him like my own.

I hope so.

And the last thing you should know is that

I have gone through a lot in life and, as a result,

I can sometimes come across as guarded in relationships.

In time, you'll see I have a lot of love to give.

So, let's do it, and I hope you're DTF.

Down to frolic... Absolutely. ..in the water with me.

Absolutely.

That was amazing.

Tears Don't Fall by Birdy

Right, let's do it.

OK.

OK.

Big fingers.

You may now share your first kiss.

Whew! The kiss was perfect.

I loved that he was like, "Right."

And I'm like, "Oh...OK."

That's... That's the hardest bit, isn't it? Yeah.

We'll explore that more later.

Oosh! But I'm, I'm...

Honestly, this is...

This is going to be awesome.

Let's go jump in the sea.

Wow. You look outrageous. Thank you. Honestly.

You look good, too.

I'm so excited and happy.

Now I know I've got Taniae, I'm... I just can't wait.

We've just got married in the Philippines.

No, you were definitely my number one.

I remember... I remember your energy being exactly what I asked for.

Oh, really? Big time. And you look gorgeous.

Oh, thank you so much.

You can see the beach. I can.

How are you feeling about living on a beach? Good.

I love the beach. It's going to be great.

I'm excited. I'm really looking forward to this.

I'm actually buzzing. This is going to be insane.

I feel like the universe has aligned everything for me to be here.

I'm really hoping that this is my fairy tale.

Belong Together by Mark Ambor

Well, they're not exactly frolicking,

but at least our honeymooners are keeping their heads above water...

..for now.

THEY LAUGH

This is mental.

That swim did me over.

That was so much harder than I thought.

Welcome to home.

Oh! That looks epic.

After taking a brave leap into married life,

it's now down to the pair of them to set up home together,

with a few essentials that have been provided.

Oh, my God! SHE GASPS

Cheers. Cheers to, er... Being married.

Yeah!

I'm actually, like, over... like, lost for words.

What is that? It's just, like, war rations.

Yeah, it's just... It's...it's a lot.

It's a lot.

It may well be "a lot", but this is their lot for the next three weeks,

so they'd best get cracking.

Fire table.

Where is my joiner when I need him?

SHE GASPS

Oh, no! I'm rinsing it. Rinsing it. Three-second rule.

No, pull. No, go a bit higher. Oh.

Oh, watch my... I've got you. You just stay still.

So, the isolation hasn't even set in yet,

because I think there's been so much today,

the anxiety of who it was going to be,

the drop in the sea,

but the 50/50 comment has been on my mind.

There's a mix of emotions, but I think, ultimately,

the main emotion is, like, shock and disappointment.

However, I'm open to talking it out

and seeing where his head's really at.

Hot work, slaving away. I know.

You're sweating, babe, but you've done good.

Thank you so much. You are so welcome.

Yesterday was, like, such a little dream bubble.

And then overnight, and today, it's like, "OK, this is reality."

Abby is struggling with this,

and I think it's getting her a bit grouchy,

it's getting her a bit moany, but it's day one.

So, I don't know...

I don't know if she's going to stick this out.

Did you think that you would struggle, like, in this experience?

Did you think that...? Because last night was a lot.

Yeah, it's hard.

I think, for me, I'm missing my family and I'm missing my friends.

Yeah, I'm... I'm definitely learning more things about myself,

even just from last night's experience.

I feel like that is you, right?

So, it did kind of shock me this morning, when you were like,

"Oh, I don't know, like, if I can do this."

Like, you're making me feel like...

Like, can you?

No, I do feel like I can. I think I just needed a minute.

Sure.

But it's day one.

Yeah! So, let's see. Yeah, it is day one.

And you've been great - it's nothing on you.

It's just... Yeah, it's just me... You know... Adjusting.

..adjusting. Like, I... I want to...

I want to be there for you, you know? And I...

You know, I...I will be. Yeah, I know. I appreciate that.

Coming and doing this experience, one of the things that hasn't

worked for me in the past is not opening up fully to somebody.

So, I just want to make sure I'm doing that as much as I can,

and she totally understood where I was coming from.

I think it's just, you know, a bit of patience, a bit of time.

We'll all settle in.

I guess what I've got to ask is, like, are you just happy?

I feel so lucky for being here.

So, yeah, I'm really happy.

You are happy? Yeah. Good. Are you?

Yeah, I am happy. Yeah, honestly.

The last thing missing for me in my life, was just, um... Me.

Yeah, exactly. Me, babe. There we go, finished my sentence.

You Make Me Feel by Adam Lambert and Sigala

With just one couple left to find,

the singles are mingling

and the flirt is being turned up a notch.

So, fancy another one?

You have really big arm muscles. Oh, thank you. You're welcome.

Pink makes the girls wink. Well, I'm a bit burnt as well.

I look like a complete salmon.

Do you drive an automatic or a manual?

I drive manual, yeah. That's my ick. What?!

I can't date somebody who has a gear stick,

because I have to watch the head go...

Oh, it makes me feel sick.

My name is Millie, I'm 30 and I live in Cheshire.

Go on, what's... what's your next ick?

Let me just take a look. Give me a second.

OK, no, OK. It's, like, socks and sandals.

I don't know who wears that. Why are we doing that, you know?

That's crazy. Yeah, you've got cool hair. Oh, thank you.

And you've got... Yeah, it's, like, doing its thing.

It's doing its thing, yeah!

It's, like, got little glitter parts. I know, yeah.

I see it, I see it. Yeah, it's good, it's good.

The qualities and the values that I'm looking for is,

honesty, loyalty.

You know, I have a good sense of humour, have a massive inner child

and just somebody's who's just done with messing about, playing games,

somebody who's ready to settle down.

I've got three older sisters. OK.

So I know how to, like, deal with a woman.

I'm saying, like... You look lovely, by the way.

Thank you. I forgot to say that. You look amazing.

Oh, thank you. That's very kind of you.

It's like the... The smoky, like... Smoky eye. Yeah, man.

It's like mysterious and that. You like it? Yeah.

My exes cheated on me consistently.

And it broke me because I felt like I wasn't enough.

I think I am scared of being hurt, which is why I have my rules

and I protect myself so much.

I feel like I can't fully give myself to somebody.

You have a pinkie ring, though. This is cute. Yeah.

I've got teeny fingers. OK, which one do you want?

I'm going to let you hold it, and I'm going to tell you about it.

This one? Yeah, go on. Right, go on. Because I...

I do like a pinkie. Where's it going to fit?

I don't know, probably this one. Oh, my God. It actually does.

No, it's the wrong hand!

It's the left hand, you should know that.

I don't know, man! I'm still learning.

Number 14, she actually looks really nice.

She named her icks, yeah?

It's like shoes - but my shoes are valid, so it's calm.

But, no, she was really cute.

Number ten is really lovely and very cool. He dresses...

He dresses cool, he's quite quirky.

But I haven't dated in a while.

I'm a bit rusty, so I need to kind of warm up into it.

OK, well, see you soon. See you. All right, take care.

Hello! How are you? OK? I'm good, thank you. How are you?

You look lovely. Thank you.

I think I always go into something expecting to be hurt.

So I feel like I need to kind of change that.

Where are you from? Like, Leeds way. Yeah, I can hear it. Yeah.

Is that...? Is that good or bad?

What do you like to do for fun? What do you...?

What's your spare time? I love going for walks.

I've got a little dog. What dog have you got?

A Pomeranian. So, a little fluffy thing? Yeah!

Yeah, yeah. Do you have any pets? A little dog called Honey.

Are you close with your family? Yes, I think that's so important.

Yeah. Are you? Yeah, really super close.

My dad's like my best mate. Yeah, see... My mum's...

Yeah, I'm on that vibe.

If I had to pick a favourite, it would be Number 14.

She's definitely gorgeous, she's very attractive.

She made me smile, I think I made her smile,

and there's a lot in common.

So are you a good cook?

If we're talking, like, burnt toast, yes. Oh, perfect.

Can you cook? I can wash up. I wash up.

You wash up?! That's fine.

Number 22, he's not my usual type, but he is nice-looking.

He has good conversation and he seems very friendly.

He's giving me, like, nice, friendly vibes.

But I am sick to death of one, attracting the wrong guy

and two, dating the wrong guy.

I feel like I am obviously just not very good at finding

somebody for myself.

So if somebody can help and, you know, match me with somebody

who they feel like I'm great for, then, yeah, let's get married.

This is a massive moment for me.

I never saw myself getting married. I didn't think it would ever happen.

So now I'm actually here, on my wedding day,

my heart is absolutely racing.

My stomach is in knots.

I am definitely hoping it's my Prince Charming

at the end of the aisle.

If it's not the person that I have in my mind,

I've got to remember that we've been matched together for a reason.

I really want that happily-ever-after.

I'm so ready to find love.

Oh, wow. You look amazing. How are you? Hello, I'm good.

How are you? I'm Jordan. I'm Millie, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Unreal, you look gorgeous.

I was just trying not to fall. You did great, you did great.

You look beautiful. You look lovely, as well. Thank you.

He isn't who I pictured in my head, and he's not "my type",

but that's where I've been going wrong. My type doesn't work.

So I'm excited to get to know him.

How are you? Good. I'm nervous. We'll be all right. I know.

On a scale of one to ten, I'm 100. I'm...

I'm absolutely buzzing, honestly. I'm so happy it's her.

I couldn't have wished for anything more.

Full Attention by Tom Grennan

I'd describe myself as outgoing, athletic.

Very loyal, very caring, and loving for the right people.

I've been single about a year.

I've had a few little things, on and off,

but modern dating can be quite chaotic.

I've had my heart broke too many times.

It'd be nice to see you

in, you know, like, a nice steady relationship, settled down.

The possibility of, like, kids. So, you want to be a grandad?

Well, yeah... But you want to find that right person that you do

want to settle down with.

I do definitely want to settle down, especially seeing what you

and Mum have, and I do definitely want that in my life. It is...

It is a special thing. I've got so much love to give someone,

and I think this experiment will allow me to do that.

I'm excited to be a husband.

It sounds crazy, but I am.

Hello, Millie and Jordan. Welcome.

This is a chance for you to forge a strong and loving partnership.

I now invite you to share your vows.

Millie, would you please start?

Yes.

SHE EXHALES You've got this.

This isn't quite what I had in mind,

when I previously imagined it because ideally,

I'd be picking my husband myself.

I won't promise you forever because, let's be honest,

we've only just met, but I will promise to give this an honest shot.

So I hope you're good at cooking,

because my speciality is burnt beans on toast.

I've never been enough for somebody,

and have my past relationships to blame for that.

But here I am in my wedding dress,

crossing my fingers that you'll know all of me

and you'll be exactly what I've needed all along.

That was lovely, that was great.

Jordan... Yeah. ..would you please read yours?

Thank you.

Millie, today, I'm excited to embark on a new adventure,

and that's to become your husband.

I'd love to into more depth in these vows about how amazing you are,

but for obvious reasons, that's pretty difficult.

However, along this journey, I'm sure I'll find out,

and I hope you're just as excited as I am.

I promise I'll be there for you

when times might get difficult, be by your side and comfort you.

But equally, I'll be there when times are great,

and trust me, we'll have plenty of them.

I'll try my best to put a smile on your face

and make you laugh as much as possible.

The good times will always be better than the bad times,

but who's to say we'll even have bad times?

I'm ready for this part of my life.

I'm ready to call you my wife.

That's so cute!

He seems really sweet, and the fact he's saying in his vows

that he's going to support me is just music to my ears.

Is it your left hand? Yeah.

I'm going to have to, like, shield it, so it doesn't...

SHE LAUGHS I'm actually nervous.

It definitely feels real now.

I just can't believe this is happening,

and I'm now ready to be stranded with my husband.

Bosh.

It feels really real right now. I can't believe this is happening.

My palms are sweaty, my heart's racing.

This is... This is surreal.

You may now share your first kiss.

Congratulations... Thank you. ..and good luck!

Thank you. Yeah, we're going to need it. We are indeed.

It's a good job I like burnt beans on toast.

SHE LAUGHS Get used to it!

I'm a wife! I'm actually married. It feels bizarre.

Like, it's alien to have a ring on my finger.

I'm... I'm... I'm a Mrs!

What can you see? I mean, there's a teeny beach there.

How are you feeling? I'm nervous. How about you?

What, about getting stranded?

Yeah. Yeah, and also about the ocean. Can you swim? Yeah.

Can you? No.

No. I can drown very well.

I don't know. I feel like... I know that I need...

I need a life vest for sure, because I won't be able to keep myself up.

I'm absolutely shitting myself about this jump.

I don't even know if I'm going to be able to do it.

The water is absolutely horrendous.

Like, it's... It's so deep.

And I can literally hear, like, "You're fucked."

How about you helping me, though?

Have you ever piggy-backed somebody before?

I've never piggy-backed anyone swimming -

but first time for everything, right?

There is, and there's a first time for this.

I'll just have to swim for both of us.

It looks like I'm already a knight in shining armour,

maybe just who she was looking for.

Well, this is it. I'm going to go and jump,

and I'll swim round and I'll catch you at the bottom of the steps.

OK, right. I'll be right there.

I'm really happy. I've got the woman that I wanted.

Now we're here, we're married, and it's literally me

and Millie against the world.

Get on my back!

We'll be all right.

MILLIE SQUEALS

Well, it may not be the most romantic boat jump we've seen,

but at least there's no need to call out Search and Rescue

for Millie and Jordan. MILLIE SCREAMS

So, that's a win.

It's so hot! Made it.

Hey...

MILLIE LAUGHS

I can't believe today. I've conquered swimming - tick.

I've become a wife, and I've not drowned my husband

in the process. Amazing, it's a win-win.

Welcome home!

"Millie and... Millie and Jordan." Ah!

That is so cute!

How nice is that?

Looks lovely. Where's the TV?

Imagine... Where's the air-fryer? That's what I'm worried about.

Oh, this is very cute. Shall we nick it?

We can just... You don't need a knife, just rip that.

Oh... Yes! Perfect. Look at that! Yeah.

Look at the view.

I know this is really intense, but, like, I'm so happy

that we're not in the rain in the UK right now.

Although the sun is shining for most of the honeymooners...

Cheers, here's to us.

Mr and Mrs.

..they might find there are other kinds of storms to weather.

To be honest, that's looking not too bad now.

For me?

It's a bit of a tough one, because I do fancy Moray, but like...

he's not, like, complimenting me.

I don't know what he likes about me.

I think, with you, I just sort of see...

I, like, want to protect you.

I see you as, like, a little sister, almost.

Oh, fucking hell. Why have you said that?! I know.

You actually look like my cousin as well.

Are you fucking joking? No, I'm not.

Why have you said that?

It's little sister vibes that I'm getting,

and I just want to, like, look after you.

But I'm not getting that romantic side,

and I think that's the big thing.

Hmm.

I've invested so much into this process.

Like, I came into it wanting to find that lifelong partner.

But the little sister comment, to me...

Obviously, that's not ideal.

Like, I'm glad I'm stranded with you.

It's just, like, how I'm feeling right now. Mm.

Especially with the little sister vibes and stuff, I'm like...

You need to stop saying that. Yeah.

I feel like Mae's taken it well, but she's also pretty upset about it.

I don't think it's exactly what she was wanting to hear.

I just want you to know where my head's at. Yeah.

That's, like, a bit of a punch to the stomach.

Because to me, that's like... It is just an attraction thing.

It just feels so shit because, like, look at me. Like...

Like, it's not easy.

Like, he... He just has to wake up and just do that

and he looks like Ken.

Whilst Mae and Moray struggle to keep whatever romantic spark

they had alive, over on Millie and Jordan's beach,

they're still trying to find theirs.

We could do with them little bits catching.

I think... Obviously, we do both live at home, which is fine.

But, yeah, we definitely have a different home life, for sure.

I like a man to be, like, "I'll cook you dinner, don't worry."

I'm feeling the adrenaline. Like, the marriage, the water-jump.

And then trying to light a fire, stressed out with that.

I mean, I've been helping my dad loads, but he does everything.

Like, I can't just ring him and say,

"Ey-up, Dad. What would you do with this?"

Do you want me to have a go? Yeah, come round this side.

I'm starting to wish I'd brought a lighter in my pants,

some way or another.

You're doing well. Yes!

I did that. You smashed it.

I think it is slightly worrying that he doesn't have the life skills

that I was hoping for.

Put me to shame.

Right, if you let that go out, I will hurt you. Yes, sir.

Right, I'll go and get some stuff.

As things hot up for Millie and Jordan,

now that matters have cooled down on Ini and David's beach,

it's time for some questions to be asked.

This 50/50 comment is doing me, for real.

I'm feeling hurt. I'm feeling sadness.

Hearing the 50/50, I'm like...

I want someone who's set about me.

Like, they knew they wanted me, and they were happy to see me.

This 50/50, let's talk about it. Mm.

What did you mean by it? It was more or less, like...

You know, you asking me about...

Was I... Was I expecting anybody else?

Was there anybody else that I had in mind?

For me, the answer is yes. I did have you and one other person.

Who was the other person?

Number... Number 28, the Asian-Australian girl.

Hello, nice to meet you. Hi, hi! I'm Number 28.

Oh, look at that. Look at that! Yeah, I like that.

The question I was going to ask you was, do you believe in God?

Yes, I believe in all the religions.

I know this might... But then I also do believe in God. Yeah, no...

I'm more a... I'll say, like, Christian/spiritual.

So, the reason why I say the spiritual side is

because I love Buddhism as well. I love, like, what Buddhism teaches.

Same. Oh, I would love to show you my tattoo,

but I might not, because it's... Oh, damn. I'll show you later!

Cool. Sh!

I had two different types of connections. OK.

The connection I had with you was instantly

in terms of, like, chemistry.

So, our conversation was just straight chemistry, banter.

I found out you're Nigerian, Yoruba.

It just flowed. Yeah.

However, at the time I didn't have, like, an instant...

Like, it wasn't like an instant attraction initially for me.

I was like, "OK, cool." To me?

Yeah, it wasn't instant.

You look surprised, but it wasn't instant attraction for me.

Number 28, there was an instant attraction for me

straight off the bat.

Like, as soon as I sat down there, I was like, "Oh, OK, cool."

I've never dated outside of black women.

So, for me, it was, "I would like to get to know her more."

Is he serious? Because I thought we were on the same, like, wavelength.

If that's your person, please don't let me get in your way.

Don't let me be in your story

when your story was supposed to be a different way.

So, who would you have preferred? Who would I have preferred?

And be honest. Honestly...

Initially, for me, the preferred was,

"OK, I want to go outside my comfort zone.

"Let me go for the Australian."

But then I got conflicted, because I connected to you with what

I actually believe in the most, which is faith and God.

I'd love to know more and explore it.

"OK, this will be a slow-burner. This is good."

That's genuinely how I felt at that time.

If a situation like this happened in the real world, I'd be gone.

You do not have to send me a follow-up message.

If that's how you feel, that's how you feel.

While some honeymooners have needed to get things off their chests,

others are happily getting swept up in their new relationship.

Keep that going.

I quite like watching you sweep up. Oh, yeah?

We've got all the time in the world

to clean and switch up the gaff.

Babe, what is that?

What is that box floating in the sea?

Mae, there's something in the water.

Can you see it? Yeah.

Have you seen that, the big crate in the sea? Stop it.

Oh, my God! This is exciting.

SHE LAUGHS

It's one of those.

You're a bit slow!

All right, cool.

Got it? Grab a handle, babes.

It's actually really heavy.

Do you reckon Davina's in there?

Let's open it. Go on, then.

You ready? Yeah, let's go.

On you go.

Ah!

Oh, my God.

"Today, you will be attending your Couples Cove."

Are we going to be with all the other couples?

I guess so. Argh!

Cheers, guys.

I just think we're so different.

I don't think that's crazy to have an option one and an option two.

But I wasn't number one.

It's a bit suffocating sometimes when it's just so full-on.

More wives ain't coming. Start appreciating what you've got.

Bloody hell.

What's that?

Another one.

Ooh!

In this crate is an emergency flare.

You now have the chance to flare out of your honeymoon...

Wow. Wow!

This is mental.

..and end your marriage today.

Commit or quit?
