All language subtitles for Married at First Sight (AU) - S02E01 - Episode 1

Yeah? You didn't empty the dishwasher.

18 months ago, Zoe and Alex met for the
first time at the altar.

At least take this away so I can load
it. And they've been happily living

together ever since.

I don't think we should have this in the
laundry, this dishwasher.

I'm having second thoughts.

Yeah?

You're having second thoughts.

You have to walk the dishes to and from
the thing. I mean, theoretically. And

when you say you have to, it's me. You
mean you as in me.

We're really good at the moment. I mean,
it's been a long time since we met at

that altar.

I think on Instagram they call this
hashtag life fail.

In the past year, me and Zoe have been
on holidays together.

We've moved house. We've been overseas.

Can you cut my sentence off?

Al, I'm getting it done.

I'm getting it done.

Yeah, so in the past year, Alex and I,
what else have we done? You're just

coming off with nothing.

All right, grab it here, Zoe. Pull that
back. Pull it back.

Me and Zoe bought this dilapidated
house.

No, you're digging too deep.

I think it would be great once we have a
family home built.

All right, put it out. No, that side.

That side.

to have a family and a playground out
the back and sort of life will take a...

Have a rounder out the front, an old
rocking chair.

Come on, it's not that heavy.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Spin around, spin around, spin around.

No! We are trying to start a family at
the moment.

Under construction.

How does that work? Where do you put the
nipple? In there, you insert the

nipple. No, let me show you how you do
it. So you go like this.

And then I have a feeling there's a
pumping.

Oh, so the baby goes there and that goes
there.

I would say now that I've met Alex, my
life is the best that

it's ever been and I am the happiest
that I've ever been.

Maddie, come on, get her.

Alex and I come from totally different
worlds and I think if it wasn't for this

experiment, we would have never, ever
met.

No tongue, no friends? No. Just like the
wedding.

Married at first sight, literally
created a miracle bringing us two

It's a miracle, what can I say? It's
fantastic.

Praise Jesus.

Holy night.

Hallelujah!

Now, eight more singles have agreed to

join the experiment.

Now I'm going to go. Okay.

Shit.

I feel scared. Very, very scared and
alone.

What have I done?

What have I done? What have I done?

I have done

everything and anything.

to try and find a guy. I've tried the
internet dating thing.

I've met girls out at bars.

Despite turning to online dating in
increasing numbers, the percentage of

Australians who are single has never
been higher.

Probably the only way to meet people is
through online dating, which is really

difficult. And I found half of it was
like a job interview.

They just want me for my womb.

Or they're crazy.

Technology has given us more avenues
than ever before to find a partner.

Everyone's so absorbed in their phones.

It's quite difficult to just get asked
out anymore.

If you ask me out, I'll probably say
yes.

But despite the overwhelming number of
choices, people are still struggling to

find the one.

If only there was a way that you could
just outsource all that and someone

find the person, then bang, done. That
would be fantastic.

In this social experiment, that decision
will be made by three of Australia's

leading relationship experts.

They'll select four couples who'll meet
for the very first time on their wedding

day. In a digital dating environment
where singles are paralysed by choice,

experiment cuts through the noise and
enables people to make a decision based

compatibility.

Hi Christy, I'm Melanie.

Psychologist Mel Schilling toured the
country interviewing single applicants

their homes, while clinical psychologist
John Aiken conducted

extensive psychological evaluations.

This experiment is essentially an
arranged marriage based on science.

In Australia, one in three marriages end
in divorce.

What we're doing in this experiment is
creating much deeper connections with

couples to give them the best chance at
happily ever after.

Neuropsychotherapist Dr Tricia
Stratford's research involves

profiling. I'm interested in analysing
brain activity.

Eight and anxiety levels.

Three, to give insight into what these
singles find sexually attractive in a

mate. Eight.

Her research also includes pheromone
testing.

Pheromones are our odour of desire and a
crucial in sexual attraction.

In fact, an individual's body odour is
as unique as their fingerprint.

Like.

Really like.

So I'm 39 years old. I live in Sydney on
my own.

I've been single for, gee, two and a
half years already.

But I've lived the lie.

Travelling, I started DJing
professionally, but then it sort of, my

creeped up on me. It just happened so
quick.

You've been sleeping through the night?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wanting children has become more
important.

Quick hug.

No, straight past me.

Christy, how are you? Lovely to see you.
Grab a seat here. John's interview will

help create Christy's psychological
profile that will then be used to

with potential matches.

Why do you think you need me and my
help?

I could try something different.

I've tried everything else and it's not
working.

Do you think you're doing anything,
probably unintentionally, that might be

contributing to being single? Oh, look,
you know, I can be a little bit

passionate sometimes.

So what I'm looking for in a guy,
humour, look, respect, value, physical

attraction, family, positivity.

You know, I do like somebody who's got
ambition and a good lifestyle, so

balanced, you know. I've got a big list,
haven't I?

Maybe that's why I'm still single.

I'm 36 and I'm single.

I've been a... fly -in, fly -out worker
for the last 11 years.

Basically, I've been working three weeks
on, three weeks off.

Trying to maintain a relationship can be
quite challenging because you're away

all the time. Who wants to be with
someone who's never there, basically?

I really want to change my lifestyle.

So recently I bought a farm, part of the
family farm.

I guess you could say I'm not a stock
standard country guy.

I've worked all around Australia.

That's it.

I've lived overseas.

That's it.

I guess the one thing I'm really missing
is maybe a partner, a

wife. It would be awesome to have
someone to come home to. I sort of

it's always going to happen, but it
hasn't, basically.

So I really do feel like I'm starting to
let life pass me by. I really want to

change and find a partner.

Big time.

It's now time for the experts to match
the first two couples. Even though this

is not a marriage in the legal sense,
there's a lot of responsibility when it

comes to the matchmaking process.

We're changing people's lives and we
want to get it right.

Alright, well it's time to decide.

Who will be matched?

I'm quite intrigued by Erin.

I am an online dating fiend.

I've met guys on Tinder, Facebook,
Instagram.

I will organise an online date every day
of the week if it means that I get to

get out of the house.

Yeah, just wasn't feeling it. I don't
know. There was nothing wrong with him,

just like... It's pretty awkward.

I definitely had some very, very...

Bad dates.

And I feel bad that these guys that I
didn't call back are going to be

this right now, but sorry, everyone.

Mum, can I have some toast?

I currently live with my mum and dad,
and my mum does everything for

me. Make sure the butter's nice and
melted.

In terms of cooking, I can boil water.

I can be quite blunt towards people and
sarcastic.

I don't really have a filter between
what I think and what I say, and I think

lot of guys often get maybe a little bit
put off, but that's just who I am.

Although Erin presents as quite
confident, when we peel away the levels

bit, what we're seeing here is a lower
level of confidence.

She is very self -critical, beats
herself up a lot.

I am not someone who finds it easy to
show someone that I don't know the real

me. All right, help me understand this,
Erin. You're attractive, you've got a

lot going for you, and yet this wall...
Pretty much, yeah. I make it easy for

them to dismiss me, I guess.

You know, she calls herself bitchy,
particularly when she's dating, almost

though she fears rejection. She sort of
throws the first stone.

So we're going to need a strong man to
break down some of that armour, but also

to be sensitive enough, I guess, to
nurture her through this next phase of

life. Who have you got in mind?

For Erin, I'd really like to see her
matched with Bryce.

I would describe myself as a pretty
relaxed sort of character.

My outlook on life is...

Don't sweat the small stuff.

In a relationship, I would think that
I'm a caring sort of partner and quite

considerate of other people's sort of
feelings and that sort of stuff. But in

past relationships, I've definitely been
in love and I've definitely experienced

heartbreak. And all that sort of stuff
moulds you into the person that you are.

Bryce is a guy...

with quite confidence.

He has invested quite heavily in his
personal development. I see an

here for him to have that calming
influence and I'm wondering if he could

perhaps be a really good rock for Erin.

One of the most interesting things is
when we did the pheromone test, it's a

real marker of chemistry and Erin was
absolutely attracted to Bryce's odour.

My biggest worry with these guys is when
they meet.

He is probably going to be hit with that
big wall of hers, that thick armour.

We're going to hear some dismissive
comments. We're going to hear sarcasm.

And I just hope that he's got the
patience to stick with it and to get

to see her more vulnerable side.

So, I think we've got a good match here.
Our first match.

Coming up, the experts match one more
couple.

And then the experiment begins with the
wedding day.

I don't want you guys to leave. I don't
want you to go home.

Will they make it down the aisle?

This is like my worst waking nightmare.

Our relationship experts have matched
the first couple, Bryce and Erin.

They must now agree on the next couple
they send to the altar.

Well, I'm intrigued by Christy.

I like her for a number of reasons.

She is very ready to become a mum.

Christy's 39, so she's very much aware
of her biology.

I think it's so strong in her, that
drive to have kids, that she would be

willing to move for love. In terms of a
match for her...

I would like to see her with Mark.

And Mark's a really interesting guy.

He's been a fly -in, fly -out worker for
the last 11 years.

And he's in his late 30s. He'd come to
the realisation that he wants a kid.

I'd be very disappointed if I never had
children, basically.

At 36, I probably thought I would
already be here. But, yeah, obviously

a partner to start a family.

And the fact that he's given up his job
to find love says that he is 100 %

committed. I think one of the things
that Mark brings to the table as well is

the fact that he's very warm and
compassionate.

His testing showed that he's very
empathic, so will care for his partner.

I think he'll be able to use humour when
Christy is, you know, going off a bit.

These guys, I love them. They're really
good together, but we need to be

careful.

Christy has a really clear picture about
her ideal partner.

If he doesn't measure up to those high
expectations, it could cause a roadblock

to their relationship.

I am worried that she might fall into
that old pattern. I really hope she

doesn't because these two, I think, are
really ideally suited.

I agree.

So we have our first two matches, Bryce
and Erin and Mark and Christy.

We've used the science to bring the
couples together.

The journey is now over to them.

With only a week to go before the
wedding, the participants must first

news to their family and friends.

And in country Victoria, Mark's about to
do just that.

This is a very crazy thing to do. I
really do shake my head at myself

and think, what are you doing? But I'm
in this now.

OK, guys.

Right, so there's a bit more news for
this night.

So I've actually got a little bit of an
announcement to make.

Yeah. But, um... I'm actually going to
be getting married.

Oh, my God!

What?

Yeah. Oh,

my God!

Really? Yes, I'm getting married.

What's his name?

I don't know.

What?

I have no idea who I'm getting married
to. I basically get married. How do you

do? What's your name, basically?

No.

No.

And is there a honeymoon involved?

Of course there's a honeymoon.

You get married.

This is awesome. This is good.

Hopefully she likes me is the first tick
I get.

Why would she like you, mate? Everyone
likes you. Well, there you go.

Good endorsement, yeah.

It's crazy.

It's just crazy.

But it's okay.

I'm sure we'll love her.

It's me talking.

Where are you getting married?

That's the next surprise. I'm getting
married in Sydney. We're all going to

Sydney.

In Sydney,

Christy's breaking the news to her
family.

I'm from a pretty big Maltese family.
We're really close.

My family just want to see me happy.

Oh, really? This is cool.

I didn't think Dad would react like
this.

Even though my dad has offered to
breathe my eggs.

So that means we're going to have a
baby.

As the weddings approach, the
participants are preparing themselves

day. I do.

I do.

That I love.

That is stunning.

But first, Erin needs to meet the
approval of her bridesmaid. You meant to

something?

Tig and Laura.

And this one shows everything.

Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Straight away, I was
like... What's happening with your

undies? But then, like, all of this,
it's just, like, what's going on? Yeah,

look at that jewel, like, positioned
right in your lady part.

OK. No, it looks like her inside.

Yeah. Yeah, fallopian... Yeah.

OK,

we'll go with the first one, then. I've
never denied that I'm a high

-maintenance girl. And the fact that
there's this whole, like, big, fancy

wedding, like, it's that that brings me
a lot of, like, shit.

Nah. It's like a snow beast.

Yeah, nah, I can't. You look like you're
like, you know when there's like bees

and you have to wear a beekeeper?

Where are the bees?

I look like a nun.

I think I'm going to be literally a mess
on the floor.

I like this.

Yep, that type of style.

Across town, Bryce is a bit calmer as he
prepares his wedding outfit.

My gut instinct is really positive, so I
really hope that it does work out. No

point stressing yourself out about it.

Hopefully, your husband's actually
really nice, but, like, it's just... Now

look like you haven't had camp.

Yeah, and not in a good way. All right,
not the look we're going for. No, like,

old boots.

I have a feeling you guys are going to
have to drag me out of the car down that

aisle. I have no promises about how I'm
going to behave on that day.

There's now only one day to go before
the participants meet and marry.

Have you thought about what you want?

It's a physical attraction.

You know, that's a given.

Chrissy's going to get married.

Am I crazy? Can you believe it?

Am I crazy?

As all four experience their last day of
single life.

Just quickly, I wanted to say thank you
for coming at such short notice. And of

course, thank you for supporting me for
the last two years of my single life.

And let's cheers to my husband.

Cheers.

I guess I want to participate in this
experiment because I have tried so many

things to find a guy and everything I
have tried has failed miserably for me,

to speak.

I just, like, want to like him. I just
want to... I really, really want

something to work out and I really want
to meet someone and I'm hoping that this

guy that I meet is going to work out for
me.

and that I'm not going to be alone again
at the end of it.

I feel like the fact that I am single
after trying so hard, that maybe there's

something wrong with me.

And so I guess I'm upset almost because
I

feel that people don't even give me a
chance to get...

to that stage where I'm feeling
comfortable.

I'm someone that takes obviously a bit
longer than everyone else and I just

like that's not really something that
people want to wait around for, really.

The wedding days have finally arrived.

In a matter of hours, Krithi and Mark
and Erin and Bryce will meet at the

But, yeah, just foundation, like, fairly
heavy, literally piled with mascara.

Because you've got the lashes on, I'll
just give it a nice brush.

Yeah, I'm probably going to want to, you
know, like drag queen Erin.

Yeah, OK.

I'm done.

I woke up this morning and my first
instinct was, how do I deliberately give

myself food poisoning so that I can get
out of this wedding?

Well, I look like a foot right now, so
if someone can fix this, that would be

great.

Okay.

When I'm nervous, I get very, like,
rashy. Okay, you've got a bit of redness

here. Yeah, it's because I'm anxious.

I can cover that.

Oh, can you? Yeah, do that.

Ready? The fact that I'm about to marry
a total stranger.

It is a crazy thing to do and I don't
understand who in their right mind would

put themselves through this.

And yes, here I am.

Also putting herself through this is
today's other bride, Christy. Hello.

Hi, Mum.

I can't turn around.

Hey. How are you? How are you?

I'm marrying someone I don't even know
their name.

If someone said this to me a year ago,
or actually even less, I would have

laughed at them.

I tend to be a bit spontaneous, but
they've been the best things that have

happened to me in my life, so I'm going
to go with it.

I have put a lot of faith into the
experts.

I don't know. See, this is why I'll be
crushed if it doesn't work because I've

really set it up that it's going to work
in my head.

So sometimes that can backfire.

Cheers. To Christy.

And to question mark.

And that question mark in this case is
Mark, who's preparing himself for his

marriage to Christy.

So got to get ready for the ball or my
wedding.

Pretty cool.

And voila.

I have an image of this person in my
head.

Is she ready for this?

I'm picking sort of like a European sort
of background.

Don't know why.

I think he's good looking.

I think he's very worldly as well.

Hi.

I'm your husband.

And when I see him, and if he's totally
different, I think that I'm going to

freak out.

I'm ready to go, actually. I'm ready to
go to the dance, pretty much.

I really hope you like what you get
done.

Back in Melbourne, Erin has asked for
moral support from Sister Laura.

Yeah, go up all the stairs.

Yeah.

Laura, I'm having hairpiece. Oh, my God.

You look so amazing. You look so
amazing. Have you remembered your vows?

No.

Actually, that reminds me. Do I read my
vows off my phone? No, no. I think you

need to memorize them.

I didn't think of that. Thank you. James
thinks it's going to be a real walkie

guy.

I'm fine with that. I like what we've
got. Like a full, like, Maria mum.

I can deal with that.

At least he'll be able to make good
pasta.

Yeah. But you're going to have to
impress Mama and Nonna. Yeah. And you

cook or clean off. Yeah, yeah, that was
a concern.

I'll teach you how to get the rug mums
to like you. OK, thank you, Laura. Thank

God I have you here today. It's OK.

I feel good.

Erin's future husband, Bryce, is at the
venue and he's getting ready to meet his

new wife. This is the biggest moment of
my life.

when I see my bride for the first time
and she's walking down the aisle.

So we've taken this amazing opportunity
to go on this journey together and I'm

really excited to share it with you.

And we'll create memories that last a
lifetime and grow with each other as we

learn to accept each other for who we
are.

Beautiful, mate. Just need a little bit
more practice there. I feel like we had

a bit of a moment. Oh, yeah, well, that
was a bit awkward, but anyway.

My hopes for today is, you know, that
everything goes off without a hitch.

My gut instinct is really positive. So
the sun is out, so it's definitely a

sign, I think, for this afternoon.

But that good sign is short -lived, as a
freak storm hits the city and a

cyclone warning is issued.

Holy shit.

Yeah,

that's the guy with the umbrella. Holy
shit. Guys, what have we done? Who let

this happen?

It wasn't me.

Very constant pit of my stomach feeling.

This is like my worst waking nightmare.

Next time I have a genius idea, someone
stop me.

You all right?

Yeah. Oh, look at this beautiful day
made to order.

I am just one of those people that
believe that you've got to take risks.

Yes, I am nervous and I am thinking,
what the hell?

But I think it's the right thing to do.

Wow. I'm, like, in shock.

Now I'm getting, like, so overwhelmed.

Mark takes his place at the altar in
full view of Christy's friends and

I glanced at Christy's family.

I think they were kind of sizing me up a
little bit.

I don't see the city at all.

It's like countryside.

Look at these shrubs.

Are there trains even around here? I
don't know.

Seriously, where are we?

How can someone get married here?
There's nothing here.

Even though there's plenty of hard
science on what makes relationships

the end of the day, there are no
guarantees.

And we can't control for the chemistry
gods.

My dream come true is that we both
instantly feel electricity.

Love you. I love you.

But what worries me, what if I don't
like him

at all?

Nightmare scenario is she walks through
that door.

And it's not going to like what she
sees.

I want the electricity from the
beginning.

You just see each other and there's that
chemistry that's unspoken.

That's really important for me.

This is it.

My life is definitely about to change
forever.

Oh my God, what's that? What's that over
there? They're just people.

Like I didn't expect to actually ever
arrive.

It's okay.

Erin, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. I don't want you guys to
leave.

I don't want you to go home.

Be confident. Get excited, Erin.

Okay. Let's get married, shall we?

Yeah, I hope no one gets CC.

I just really hope she likes me.

It's not going to be much fun if she
doesn't.

The stage is set for Erin and

Bryce to meet.

All that's left is for Erin to walk down
the aisle.

I'm about to marry a total stranger.

I'm getting very, very, very worried
now.

Standing at the front of the aisle by
myself, got a bit of a tension.

I'm sweating bullets.

And I'm just wondering what is going to
happen when she walks down the aisle.

I'm feeling shit scared.

I am utterly insane for doing this to
myself.

This was not a good decision.

The champagne in the car's still right.

I feel scared, very, very scared and
alone.

I

feel

like quite sick

now.

What have I done? What have I done?

Have I done?

I'm not crying, I'm just laughing.

Do I have to?

Do I just go?

Okay. Shit.

I'll just get this shit done.

Shit.

Bryce. Hi, I'm Erin. How are you? Nice
to meet you.

Okay.

You look beautiful.

Thanks. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Understandable.

She definitely looks flustered and a bit
nervous.

Okay. Yep.

But she looks absolutely beautiful.

We are gathered here today to celebrate
one of life's greatest moments, the

joining of two lives.

It's a really strange feeling because
you're standing next to someone who is

actually a total stranger.

But he just pretty much immediately
grabbed my hand, which was nice.

That was calming.

Erin and Bryce are meeting each other
today for the very first time and

that they have found the person they
wish to make a commitment to.

It's time for your own words now, your
vow.

I, Erin.

I, Erin.

Take you, guy I just met 30 seconds ago.

To be my husband.

To be my husband.

And my partner in crime. And my partner
in crime.

Erin, we will grow with each other.

Erin, we have a congrats with each
other. As we learn to accept.

As we learn to accept each other. Each
other for who we are.

Sorry, I jumped there.

I've been practicing that. He's funny.

I'm holding onto his hand for dear life.
Even though we hadn't even really

spoken, I just naturally felt a bit more
comfortable and calm around him, which

is weird.

It's a weird feeling to have.

Dear Bryce, offer yourself wholly and
joyfully.

And you choose Aaron as the person with
whom you will share your life.

I do.

And do you, Aaron, offer yourself wholly
and joyfully? And do you choose Bryce

as the person with whom you will share
your life?

I do.

These rings are symbols of vows taken
and commitments made.

Do I just do it now?

Wait, which hand? This one?

Do I just do it?

Erin, will you wear this ring? Erin,
will you wear this ring as a celebration

commitment to this marriage?

Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

Sorry.

It gives me the greatest pleasure now to
announce you husband and wife.

Bryce, you may now kiss your beautiful
bride.

I don't want to get lipstick on you.

The experts have done so...

Well, kudos to them. They can keep their
job another day.

Christy and Mark are also hoping the
experts have found them their perfect

partner.

I'm actually going to get married.

I just really hope she likes me.

She loves me.

I'm going to write art, basically.

If I had to say how hot Christy was, I'd
have to score her probably 11 out of

10, I reckon.

She's pretty good. A fantastic, awesome
woman, and I'm just thinking, yes.

I definitely didn't feel any electricity
or chemistry.

physically at all.

Didn't feel it. I'm not going to fake
it. I won't fake anything.

Not a guy I would go for.

If he was online, I would have swiped.

I would have swiped past him.

Destiny and fate have joined forces in a
single moment of perfect chemistry.

This union is made.

with a firm intention that this union
will last forever.

I think it's really hitting me out.

Are we done?

I'd like to think there is a bit of a
spark there.

I just really hope that I get maybe good
eye contact, I guess.

Christy and Mark, I'd like you to turn
faith to each other.

And I'd like you to just take one moment
for a second and just look into each

other's eyes.

Looking into the eyes, I'm struggling
with it.

I know nothing about him.

All I know is his name.

I'd like you to look into each other's
eyes and I'd like you to stay calm and

please say, I do.

I don't know this person. What the hell
am I doing?

Christy, do you take Mark to be a
lifelong partner?

Let's be honest.

Physical attraction is a factor.

You know, someone could get really hurt
here.

I don't want to hurt somebody.

And you promise to love him, honour him,
protect him, and forsaking

all others, be faithful to him for as
long as you both shall live.

Christy, do you take Mark to be a
lifelong partner?

And do you promise to love him, honour
him, protect him,

and forsaking all others, be faithful to
him for as long as you both shall live?

I was like, oh God, it's too late to
change him right now.

I do to the best I can.

I'm being honest.

Mark. I do.

You've got to say he's keen. Why
wouldn't you be?

I have hit the jackpot.

Christy is absolutely awesome.

This is like a really good thing that's
happened to me.

I have the absolute pleasure in
declaring that you are now husband.

And wife.

Mark, you may now kiss your beautiful
bride.

We'll get there.

I definitely didn't feel any chemistry
yet. No, not yet.

But, you know, I'm sure that will come.

I don't know. We'll see.

That's what the experiment's all about,
isn't it?

Shit. How old are you?

31.

Are you going to ask me?

Oh, I don't know. Is that something I
should be asking? I don't know. I just

assumed you would. How old are you?

25. Oh, there you go.

What do you do?

A business analyst.

Cute. Love it. And you?

I'm a retail manager. Oh, nice.

I didn't really know what to expect
coming here today, but Erin's really

beautiful, and so far her personality
seems great, so I'm really happy.

Hold it there.

Just looking at each other again.

Yeah.

That's it. Good. That's beautiful.

We're cute.

We had to take your usual wedding shot.
Hold it there.

Which was obviously an odd experience.

This is an unnatural pose for even
people that know each other.

He is just so calm, so relaxed.

and it just makes me feel so much better
being around him.

I did it. You missed it.

Early signs are good.

I just want to go back to him now.

In Sydney, Christy and Mark are about to
experience their intimate photo shoot.

Okay, guys, let's bring in... Let's just
bring it across this way a little bit.

Beautiful. There we go.

Oh, this is going to be really awkward.

Settle away.

How does it feel like to be a married
woman?

Well... That's great. So keep looking in
towards the camera.

So far, it's awkward.

Beautiful. There we go.

Okay, Mark, just bring your hand up
behind Christy's wrist on this side.

that, like I'm grabbing her, like you're
not getting away.

More kind of parallel, really.

Like that.

Beautiful. Okay, go.

Just looking towards me.

My head's in a spin.

Beautiful. And a little test going on
that one, please.

It looks like... Lovely. That's good, I
think.

What have I done?

Yes. I'm feeling woozy.

Oh, yeah?

Feel a bit what?

Woozy.

Have a moment. Have some deep breaths.

You're feeling all right? Yeah.

Yes. Take a moment if you're feeling a
little bit. Do you want to just get some

air in here?

No, it's all right. You're all right.
Oh, seasick's the worst.

You look beautiful in sickness. Can I
just have a look at you?

I'm going to hide this behind you.

You're doing a great job. That's
brilliant.

Yeah, I set it up for the wedding. I
hope she doesn't get sick at the thought

me.

Oh, I've been there before.

I really hope it is seasickness, I
guess.

Let's just hope it is.

How much longer have I got on the boat?

I don't want to tell you.

The couples will now join their loved
ones at the reception.

Meeting family and friends for the first
time is really important for the

relationship health.

Hi. Hi. How are you? This is Antigone
and my sister Laura. Hi.

We place such a huge emphasis on the
opinions of our loved ones. Kerry.

nice to meet you. So seeing how
someone's loved ones perceive you can be

stressful.

That's my mum.

And then that's my auntie, my other
auntie, my other auntie. Oh, the aunties

here? And this is our long -lost auntie.
You guys are cute.

Like, it hurts a little bit. Oh, my God.
Stop it.

T.

Reign it in, mate.

He seems pretty cute. So he seems like
Aaron's sort of type.

Welcome to the family.

Thanks for the helping hand, ladies.

Where are my brothers -in -law?

Dave and Dave.

So easy.

Is there a reason why you all have
shaved heads?

Is it like a gang thing?

Are you the Green Street Hooligans?

Oh, I hope they said together.

I really do. Like, when you turned down
the aisle, I thought, wow, you look

really beautiful walking down there. I
was like... Bless.

Bless your soul, Bryce.

Bless.

No, I can't really believe we're married
yet. It's not really sinking in, but it

is. It kind of is, but it isn't, yeah.

It's coming on again.

I can't believe I'm actually married.

Ride the wave. I shouldn't say wave.

Agreeing to marry someone you've never
met before places someone in a high

of anxiety.

This is normal and we expect to see a
fight or flight response.

When someone experiences the fight or
flight response, there's a real

unpredictability about their behaviour.
Often they will run, they will flee.

they'll avoid the perceived threat
that's going on to their personal space.

Back again.

It is early days.

I'm definitely into her. I definitely am
into her.

I couldn't say that she's 100 % into me.

I couldn't call that.

With the seasickness, it's...

It's a bit hard to judge how she's
really feeling, I guess.

They're making honeymoon jokes. Oh,
honeymoon jokes. So I came at the right

time. After marrying just a few hours
ago, Erin and Bryce are meeting each

other's nearest and dearest.

Do you talk to your family?

Yeah, I just had a quick chat with Mum
and Dad. Did you want to meet them?

yeah. I haven't, like, properly met
them. I've been, like, hovering around.

Yeah, yeah. Like a weirdo.

Hello.

Hayden. Aaron.

Everyone okay?

Everyone alive?

Yep. I'm alive too. Survived. Thank God.

Yes, very proud. Very proud. Yes.

Happy?

Yep. It's been a beautiful night.

It's been a lovely night, actually.
Yeah, yeah. It has. Yeah.

Very nice.

And I'm sure they'll give it their best
shot and they'll have a lot of fun

together. Yeah, I think they will. Yeah,
I think they will too. I think they are

quite serious. I think they are too.

Really nice family.

Yeah, I know, it's kind of nice. They're
all really nice.

I know. And look at our, like, vain
group of, like, peroxide blonde, fake

bimbo tea movie.

In Sydney, Christy's nausea has
returned.

Oh, it's coming away again.

Hi. Hello.

Sick of eating it.

Our first meal together.

Yeah.

I find from being sick, he's not seeing
who I am.

So that's hard.

You're really struggling, aren't you? Do
you want the jacket or not?

Maybe, sorry.

Don't be sorry.

I do want to lay down. Come over here.

You can lay down on your back.

Sorry, that feels better.

When I was sick, I always just wanted to
get off the boat, to get into a bed.

But it did give us alone time.

Oh, God.

So, anyway. Yeah.

And it was really nice.

What's your background?

Are you Aussie? Aussie? Yeah. Yeah.

And you?

Maltese background.

Maltese, yeah.

Do you know where Maltese?

I agree.

Sort of that area. Yeah, it's under
Italy, tiny island.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm feeling that
again.

Yeah, I can feel that little... Yeah, I
can feel that too now.

Imagine if I go down too. It's like, oh!

But the way he was with me was just
beautiful.

Really, really was.

And for somebody who doesn't even know
me, he was so nurturing.

Like, he could have been a bit like, oh,
she's probably just a drama queen, you

know, sick all the time.

But he wasn't. He was really caring.

So I'm kind of glad I got sick.

I can see what he's like.

So tonight we go back to the same hotel
together and we can stay together if we

want to. I want to stay with him, so
hopefully he's okay with that as well. I

feel like he's up for it. Well, I have
to ask him, obviously. It's not just my

decision. I'm not saying there's not
going to be kisses later tonight, but...

will be on my terms and his terms and in
a situation that I think is best for

the both of us.

Because you said that really quietly,
I'll answer it.

Not off the table.

What do you mean, what?

That's all I'll say.

Tell me what? Nothing. What are you
talking about? I said it's not off the

table.

Oh, wait, it's not?

Later?

With Christy's seasickness abating, the
wedding reception can continue.

I'd just like to introduce the man of
the moment, our groom, Mark.

I really want to make Christy laugh
because I think maybe if I make her

she's going to like me more, I guess.

That's the way to her heart, I think.

I'd like to thank you all for coming.

I know a lot of you have flown in from
all over the country, so hopefully your

arms aren't too tight.

I know we've only known each other for a
couple of hours, but I can honestly say

it's like we've known each other for the
whole day.

But I have to say it is a real honour to
be sitting here with such a beautiful

woman here tonight.

I'm now lucky enough to call my wife.

I'm a big believer in choices.

Sometimes our choices take us to some
pretty amazing and unexpected places.

Tonight I'm really happy with my
choices.

This is my first time at being a
husband, so I really hope I do a

really good job for you.

I really do hope this is day one of the
best adventure of our lives.

And I'd like to propose a toast to my
lovely wife.

I think I'm going to have to woo Christy
by bringing my A game. I'm going to

have to really impress her, I think.

I'm going to woo her.

And a good way to woo Christy is to
impress her family.

She is so cute.

I know.

He seems, I think the first word that
comes to my mind is genuine.

Yes. He seems very genuine.

I think he's genuine. His eyes. I know.
I'm going to be honest. I don't know if

I feel that Christine would have wanted
him.

Exactly. I don't. Like if she was
walking down the street. Do you feel

Yes. But I think this is a good thing.

After the ceremony for me, I was, you
know, a bit unsure.

But as I'm getting to know him, he is
such a beautiful person.

He really is. And he's funny.

I love that about him. He's so funny.

You guys are going to be actually in the
same room tonight.

Yeah, but I feel comfortable with Mark.
I'm all right with him.

I've had the psych test.

I feel like I've known him for years.

It's really weird. I feel like I've
known him for a long time.

I'm exhausted.

You look exhausted.

I don't know.

Our first fight.

I'm feeling great. I'm feeling
fantastic.

What'd they pay? Two and a half million
single. I got the best one.

At least you're not sick anymore.

I'm getting dizzy.

I was going to spin you, but that's
probably not a good idea.

So we might do the scene from Dirty
Dancing where you run up and down. Oh,

I practiced that. Yeah, do it.

Okay, ready for the... We're going to do
the Dirty Dancing scene.

Despite a promising start in Melbourne,
Erin now faces the awkward task of

making a speech.

And it's finally over to Erin to...

I'm worried that essentially it's just
going to be...

Just like another one of the dates that
I've been on where I'm unable to do what

I need to do to make the person see the
real me and then ultimately it's just

going to be another failed try, I guess.

To my husband.

I know I'm not always the easiest person
to deal with and I know more often than

not I'm blunt, sarcastic and at times a
bit standoffish.

However, whilst it seems like I don't
care what other people think, I actually

do.

When you think I'm being judgmental or
critical, you have no idea how much

harder I am on myself.

Sorry.

I may come across as guarded. However,
beneath this tough exterior, I'm a very

loving, caring, and loyal person.

And I'm sorry this isn't always easy for
me to show.

It was really sort of warming to hear
Erin's speech.

Thank you. Cheers.

I've got a lot of respect for her for
that, so she's definitely a courageous

person.

I need Bryce to just

sort of trust in me and that...

I can be myself, but I need that time.

And it's not going to happen overnight.
It's not going to happen in a week. It's

not going to happen in two weeks.

And I just hope that he is willing to
give me the time of day and that he will

be there at the end of it when the walls
are down.

I'm a really patient person.

I think the way I can help to break
those walls down is just to sort of

and just communicate with Erin and just
talk to her and get to know her and, you

know, take interest in her as a person.
And I'm sure when you do that, anyone

will open up to you.

Thanks very much for telling them to
call today.

I'm really pleased so far with how
things with Erin and I have gone.

I really do hope that she is that person
for me.

really want to find love and really I'm
only going on all of these

tinder dates and online dates and
everything else because I really do want

find someone at the end of the day and I
do hope that Bryce can be that person

See a DJ or something.

See a DJ or something.

That's my Christy.

Can this chick get any cooler?

I feel so comfortable around him

and that's a really great sign.

And he makes me laugh already.

Like he actually has me in stitches, not
just laugh, like in stitches.

As the reception draws to a close, the
couple head off to spend their first

night as husband and wife.

I think Bryce can definitely be good for
me.

And the more time that I spend with him,
the more I realise that.

I think I could get to really like him.

I think I could.

Whether the physicality part goes there
or that develops,

I don't know.

Don't know.

Oh, my God, this is crazy.

Often newlyweds will have sex on the
night of the wedding, but for our

thrown together in this experiment with
a complete stranger, the intimacy will

need to be negotiated.

Intimacy on the first night.

Will it happen?

Don't know.

Hopefully, maybe she'd like to. I guess,
yeah, I would, because it's a big part

of marriage.

Trudy, for news, you stay in the same
bed, so I'm a big believer in tradition.

Well, I'm going to sleep on this side.

And I guess I get to sleep on this side.

I'll sleep on this edge right here.

But she might not find me attractive, so
that might be a problem.

That could be a problem.

Yeah, Christy suggested pillows down the
middle of the bed.

Are you okay with that?

I should ask you if that's okay.

Yeah, I'm okay with that. Yeah, I'm
obviously, yeah, I'm whatever you want,

really.

Yep.

Look, I'm fine with that. That's cool.
That's her decision and, yeah, that's

cool. I'm really fine with that.

Obviously, it's a big day and we've only
just met each other, so, yeah, I'm

really fine with that.

All right, so we've got back to the
hotel. It's a really nice room. We've

great time tonight and happy with how
the day went.

Drank all the champagne in a sweet.

Yeah, it was good. Practically.

Okay, get out.

Go.

Next time on Married at First Sight...
Who does this? Who married someone

they've never met?

The final two couples enter the
experiment.

I am shitting myself.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

But will they be happy with their match?

I know straight away if I like this
person and if I don't.

I feel like it could be the start of a
beautiful love story or maybe today the

start of a very amusing train wreck for
everybody.
