NARRATOR: Last night...

Hello, gents. Hey, how're you going? Nick.

Good to meet you. I'm Mike.

..20 men and women met for the first time

at their bucks and hens nights...

Gentlemen, it's our last night as single men.

We're getting married!

..and it was an evening of surprises...

(SQUEALING) Sorry!

I can totally understand why you're single.

Oh! What do you mean?

..and shock secrets.

Maybe you haven't gone there with someone before?

I knew this question was coming. Have you?

I'm still a virgin.

Then,

our first four singles...

I'm excited.

I'm ready to do this.

..walked down the aisle to marry complete strangers.

Hi.

How are you?

Family resistance...

That's disrespectful.

..didn't stop Cyrell and Nick from forging a connection...

There's definitely some chemistry there.

..while it was love at first sight

for Jules and Cam.

for Jules and Cam.

I'm happy!

Great smile,

kind eyes,

I'm winning. I'm definitely winning all round.

Our most perfectly-matched couple yet.

I can see she's proper gorgeous on the inside.

Tonight...

It's all happening now.

I'm just really scared that I won't like him.

..another four singles take the ultimate leap of faith.

Sorry to disappoint already.

But the road to love...

I don't know if I've brought my wedding dress.

I don't know if I've brought my wedding dress.

..isn't always easy...

I cannot believe I slept in.

So we're running about two hours late at the moment.

(SIGHS IN EXASPERATION)

You need to take a deep breath.

..or predictable.

I'll be ready when I'm ready.

This is my wedding day. Do you think I'm wanting to be late?

(CHURCH BELLS)

(HOPEFUL MUSIC)

It's the morning after the first two weddings

and Jules is waking up

next to her new husband, Cam.

next to her new husband, Cam.

Morning. Good morning.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Good morning. How'd you sleep?

Mmm, yeah, good.

That was a good first night, a wonderful first night.

Like, a perfect day and a perfect evening.

It was a dream, a genuine dream.

There's so much chemistry there and attraction.

He's just exactly the kind of guy I would, you know,

want to marry. (LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES) No, I didn't get lucky.

(CHUCKLES) No, I didn't get lucky.

Will you order me some breakfast?

I certainly will. And some coffee and stuff.

I think she's hot. I think there's certainly chemistry.

We just had an instant connection. There's no way it feels like

we just met each other yesterday.

And he's a great kisser, as I predicted. (LAUGHS)

Chop-chop. (LAUGHS)

Meanwhile across town...

Housekeeping. ..the reality of married life

is just sinking in for Cyrell and Nick.

Waking up to someone next to me

and he's actually a cuddling kind of guy, I was like,

and he's actually a cuddling kind of guy, I was like,

wow, I haven't had that in a while.

(CHUCKLES)

Yeah, I think we're off to a really good start.

We're hitting it off. We're talking, we're laughing.

Show your sexy legs off!

Ooh la la! That could have been dangerous!

What if I had no pants on?

But when it comes to intimacy, Cyrell is taking her time.

I really want to know about him

before jumping head in.

We're so alike but could we clash because we are so alike?

Because I'm funnier and cooler...

I'm so much more funny!

I'm so much more funny!

Don't try and be as awesome as me, alright?

(BOTH LAUGH)

(EXCITING MUSIC)

The experts will now match the next two couples

to join the experiment.

With more than 10,000 people applying for this experiment,

we have a whole lot of different, exciting, new singles.

Now someone who caught my eye

is Jessika.

Here's a girl who lights up a room.

She's got a diploma in business,

She's got a diploma in business,

she models part time but she hasn't been able

to find that lasting relationship.

I'm Jessika.

I'm 27 and I'm from Perth

and I work as an Executive Administrator.

INSTRUCTOR: Good, Jess. I also model as a hobby.

But there's so much more to me than that.

I would love someone to fall in love

with my personality first,

rather than with how I look.

I feel like men see me more as an accessory

I feel like men see me more as an accessory

and not as a life partner and the men that I have fallen for

have just cheated on me.

OK, so for you, trusting guys is quite difficult.

Yes. I just want to be happy

and I just want to find somebody that...

Sorry. (SAD MUSIC)

I just - yeah, I just want to find someone

that wants what I want.

And just wants to actually make a relationship work,

rather than look at it like an end date,

that it has an end date and not go into it 100%.

And I feel like I attract those sorts of people.

Sorry.

Growing up, I didn't have the best upbringing.

My Mum and my Dad divorced when I was one year old,

My Mum and my Dad divorced when I was one year old,

and then my Mum moved to WA

because she said it's the furthest away

she'd get from him.

I didn't really have a strong father figure

when I needed it most, growing up. That was really hard.

I had to grow up a lot faster than most children.

How are you?

Are you in town?

Yeah, just in a pub. Ah.

My father,

we've only just reconnected in the last six, seven years

and it's been the best thing that I've ever done.

Thanks, Dad. I love you.

I love you more.

I love you more.

Where I am now in my life and what I've achieved,

I'm so proud of myself.

I'd love to have a big family.

It's always what I wanted and the stability and love

that I feel I didn't really have growing up.

Love me! (LAUGHS)

What I like about Jess is her drive to rekindle the relationship

she has with her father.

It shows a willingness to forgive the past

and an openness to communicate.

But what's most important is for us to break Jessika's pattern

But what's most important is for us to break Jessika's pattern

of disposable relationships.

We need to find her a partner

who is willing to invest the time and emotional energy

into the relationship

and someone who shares her family values.

Well, a guy that I keep coming back to for Jess is Mick.

He's a really down-to-earth, genuine larrikin

who calls it the way that he sees it.

(BLEATING, MOOING)

How are you doin' lambchops - good?

My name's Mick. I'm 31.

I'm a plasterer

I'm a plasterer

and I live in Gympie.

Come on.

Got 11 acres, 20 sheep.

How are you doin', Barbara? (BLEATING)

11 chickens,

two dogs and five guinea fowl

that have buggered off next door.

You love it, don't ya?

No, there's not a lot of single women around the area.

I have been using the dating apps

and they're about as reliable as a second-hand lawn mower, aren't they?

(BLEATING)

I think I'm a catch because I'm hard-working, loyal -

I think I'm a catch because I'm hard-working, loyal -

I think I'm alright, I suppose.

(BLEATING)

(PIANO MUSIC)

Tell me about women and dating for you.

I've met a couple of women previously

that I'm sort of kicking myself now, but you know, you might be able

to do something a bit better than I can do

down at the local, so...

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

You've got a great sense of humour. Mmm.

And often, sometimes we'll use humour

to keep it away from that sensitive side.

to keep it away from that sensitive side.

Mmm. Do you do that sometimes?

Yeah, all the time.

Ah, to open up, it's a fairly hard thing to open up

to, oh, well, to anyone, really.

A wife and kids would be great.

I envisioned when I bought this place

to have my kids grow up on acreage with the animals

and that sort of thing, so...

I feel as though I do need the experiment

to sort of put myself out there.

I hope the experts have done their job,

I hope the experts have done their job,

because I'd love to meet the one.

That'd be great.

Although at face value,

we see that Jess is very much the city girl

and Mick's our country guy,

at the heart of it all, they're very similar.

They both share those family values and they're very down to earth

and likely to use humour to diffuse a situation.

Mick's a larrikin at heart but underneath it all,

I saw a genuine warmth

and willingness to engage in the experiment.

Plus, he's definitely a family man

Plus, he's definitely a family man

and he wants to share this lifestyle with someone special.

But because of the lack of that father figure in her life early on,

you can see that she's really driven to create

that stable family life of her own.

The opportunity here is for the two of them

to really come together and compliment each other's styles

and try something different that might just work.

Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I agree.

I think Jessika and Mick - I think they're a great match.

Jess and Mick.

Next, I'd like to talk about Melissa.

Next, I'd like to talk about Melissa.

She's a 38-year-old talent agent from Sydney

and she's loud, excitable and full of life.

When people first meet me,

I think my energy sometimes gets kind of misinterpreted,

as, 'She's batshit crazy.'

Oh!

(UPROARIOUS LAUGHTER)

So you know he's Italian? How do you know that?

(LOUD LAUGHTER)

That doesn't really help with my dating life.

When you're 38 and you're a female, it's even harder,

When you're 38 and you're a female, it's even harder,

because all those guys are going for girls half your age.

So what are you gonna do?

Back out of my gene pool, bitches! Oh, well, ladies.

I mean, sorry - girls that are, you know, in their 20s.

Damn you! Yeah, so it does come into play, obviously,

because yeah, it becomes harder.

I haven't had sex for eight years. What do you reckon?

I haven't had sex for eight years. What do you reckon?

A lot, is where I'm going to go with that.

I don't stop traffic

unless I throw myself in front of it, you know?

I understand that.

Melissa has been single for eight years

and she's chosen throughout that time to be celibate, as well.

She's really struggled to find the right man.

What are the things that hold you back in relationships?

I think the biggest thing is that I've never felt secure

in any of them.

Mmm.

I want to be with someone who...

I want to be with someone who...

You know, they love me for me.

You want someone who has your back,

that's there for you when you're under stress.

Absolutely.

And is...

You know, that looks at me and thinks, like, you're amazing.

I think when all of your friends

start kind of getting married and having the family,

it gets so hard to watch

and it makes you want it so much more.

and it makes you want it so much more.

I mean, I honestly thought that this was it for me.

I was never going to find, you know, my 'one'.

I'm taking part in this experiment

because this is serious.

It is literally - I feel like it's my last chance.

I...

Yeah.

Melissa has been unlucky in love for eight years,

so it is so important that we find her the right man

who can accept her wholeheartedly,

who can accept her wholeheartedly,

so she can feel comfortable and more secure in the relationship.

One thing also that I think Mel really needs

is someone who's going to balance out her energy,

be the yin to her yang.

You know, a calming voice of reason.

And the guy that I'm thinking about is Dino.

Hi, I'm Dino. I'm 35. I'm from Western Australia.

Meditation is a big part of my lifestyle.

(ENERGETIC MUSIC)

I find that it's a purpose of my life

I find that it's a purpose of my life

to spread inner-peace and teach meditation.

When I started meditating,

I was attracting through the universe

the right vibrations, the right energy,

the right situations.

(SAD MUSIC)

TRISHA: Dino takes good care of his mind and body,

and while he's very content in himself,

he's yearning to find his soulmate.

DINO: At times, I do feel lonely without that person.

DINO: At times, I do feel lonely without that person.

Being alone, it makes you miss having that shoulder to cry on.

What I look for in a partner is beauty on the inside.

I believe in appreciating women the way they are

and not trying to change them in any way.

(ROCK MUSIC)

I really need this to find a partner because I haven't found that woman

who can excite me, who can create love.

I think compatibility with these two is really strong,

because Mel is someone who loves to talk.

She can get anxious in relationships

and Dino is a great listener and I think he will calm her down.

This could really work for these two.

Dino and Mel, let's lock them in.

Absolutely.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

As their wedding day fast approaches,

our singles are swept up in final preparations.

our singles are swept up in final preparations.

Look how beautiful all of the lace detailing

on these dresses are. I can't even get over it.

Eliza, my sister, is my rock.

Ooh! (GIGGLES)

She's been there through break-ups,

she's been there through heartbreak, she's been there through everything.

Eliza, you have to come and look at this dress.

Oh, that's so pretty.

Family, they're your backbone.

They're who you are.

Beautiful. Yeah?

So I want somebody that has family values.

I want somebody who wants a family,

I want somebody who wants a family,

somebody that can make me smile

and laugh at my stupid jokes.

Wow.

Come on, Mick. Hurry up. Bloody hell.

Mick, you're struggling to get those pants done up, are ya?

Feeling a bit nervous.

It's very different from everything I wear, this stuff.

How's that? White shirt looks terrible with it.

What?

You know, this is the best I'll ever look.

Don't expect too much after that.

Just goes to show you, you can polish a turd.

(LAUGHTER)

TRISHA: Preparing for a wedding is a new and exciting experience

for all our singles.

Yeah. There he is.

There we go! There we go!

This is all meant to be.

This is so beautiful.

TRISHA: But Melissa has been single for eight years.

See, this is too much bling-bling.

There's a danger she'll put too much pressure on herself

trying to make that perfect first impression.

I'm not a fish tail.

I'm not a fish tail.

Not a fish tail. I don't do the fish tail.

OK. (BOTH LAUGH)

My sister Rebecca is here with me today.

She's got good style,

so I trust her taste and she knows me very well.

Oh, that's just the bottom of one.

Oh, that'd be a very tall person.

I've been single for so long,

I didn't know if I was going to meet that person

and I'm now getting married,

so this means everything to me, finding my perfect dress.

Let's have a look.

Yeah, so - I mean, it's...

(TENSE MUSIC)

Yeah. I'm fine.

I know. I'm just...

It's emotional.

Getting a wedding dress is super-emotional. I know.

I just, yeah, it's just not me.

I've been waiting, you know, a lot of years for this day.

I've been waiting, you know, a lot of years for this day.

It's your wedding day and also, you know, it's the first time

I'm going to meet my husband and...

That's the first time he's going to see you,

so I think it makes it even more important

for the dress to be perfect.

Melissa... Yeah, I know! I'm sorry.

It's just stressed me out.

I'm so stressed out...

I know, I know. We'll find it, we'll get it. We'll get it.

(CHURCH BELLS)

It's the morning of the weddings

and very soon, our singles will be marrying a complete stranger.

But Mel has slept in and is running two hours late.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God! I'm a mess here.

(EXHALES)

I haven't been sleeping this whole time and then...

And then I fell asleep last night, and so I'm so late. Oh, my God.

And then I fell asleep last night, and so I'm so late. Oh, my God.

I'm so in trouble. This is so me.

Whoa!

Oh, my God. I'm just... I can't.

I just can't believe - I cannot believe

I slept in on my wedding day!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God.

I don't even know how I did it.

OK.

Shit.

OK, so I've just moved into this apartment building,

OK, so I've just moved into this apartment building,

hence why I don't know where I'm going.

So, ended up in the basement

and now I'm lost. Oh, my God - see this is what happens!

No...

Um...

Perfect timing. That's how you do it,

Perfect timing. That's how you do it,

you just wait for the car to obviously open the gate for you.

Nailed it, nailed it.

While Mel hightails it to her country wedding...

Dino is having a more relaxing start to the day.

Today is a very important day in my life.

It is the day I get married.

(SLIGHT CHUCKLE) I'm waiting for that feeling just to sink in.

But I know today is all about being myself.

But I know today is all about being myself.

I find that if you can keep that positivity up,

if you can keep that calmness up, as well,

that's the most important thing.

For the wedding ceremony,

I've got an unexpected surprise for my future wife,

and I'm feeling excited and I hope she's impressed.

I just can't wait to meet my wife.

On Sydney's rural outskirts,

Mel's bridesmaids have just discovered

Mel's bridesmaids have just discovered

they are missing their bride.

(DIAL TONE)

Hello? Hey, hun.

Where are you, babes? I...

I'm late.

I slept in. Yep, yep. I just can't believe it. Yep.

Where are you? Are you there?

We're here. We're here.

We just got here

and they're all a bit worried because it is far away.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, so you're on your way,

you've got everything? You're happy? It's all good?

you've got everything? You're happy? It's all good?

Yeah, bye! Love you.

Alright. OK, bye.

(EXHALES) I've definitely got the dress. Thank God. Um...

(TENSE MUSIC)

No, no, no. I've definitely got the dress.

Definitely got the dress. It's in my...

I've gone over - yep.

(EXHALES)

Oh, God.

I'm...

I don't know.

I think because I'm so stressed out that I'm just...

I don't know if I've brought my wedding dress.

Are we on this road for a while?

Oh, my God.

Where, uh...

Oh, amazing, amazing. Oh! 'Emergency Only Pullover'.

This is an emergency. Thank you, sir.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I've got my wedding dress!

(YELPS)

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Meanwhile, in northern NSW,

Mick is putting the finishing touches

to his wedding vows.

I'm sort of bracing meself for the wedding now.

It'd be amazing to meet the woman of my dreams,

looking down the aisle.

To fall in love during the experiment

would mean everything to me.

You've just gotta hope that the stars align

You've just gotta hope that the stars align

and Haley's Comet comes around again and away we go.

It all feels like a dream, at the moment.

My nerves have just been going crazy.

I don't really trust the guys

that are confident enough to approach me.

They only really want me for one thing and then they're onto

the next girl.

I'm really hoping my husband has a really beautiful family

and I want a big family myself,

so I'm really hoping that he has those sorts of expectations as well.

so I'm really hoping that he has those sorts of expectations as well.

I'm hoping I make a good impression on them.

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

I've only ever been to a wedding once before, so yeah, a bit nervous.

Mick, you home? Oh, crikey!

G'day, mate. How are you? Cobber, how are you?

Good, buddy. Good. Mate, how are you doing?

Not too bad, not too bad.

You only want to get married once, so here's hoping the bride's

willing to put up with my shit, basically.

Are you nervous about meeting her?

Of course I'm nervous about meeting her.

Of course I'm nervous about meeting her.

What's the biggest... I'm nervous about

what you're going to say.

(LAUGHTER)

The best man, he doesn't have much of a filter.

Oh, that is terrible.

Mate, you've got a big mouth on you.

(LAUGHTER)

The thing about Broxy is, whenever he says something,

you've got to divide it by four, halve it again

and that's somewhat of the truth.

Bloody hell. Your fly's undone. Fly's undone.

(GIGGLES)

To be honest, I don't think he's ready.

She'll run. Yeah, you reckon?

Yeah, yeah.

Hope for the best but, you know,

Hope for the best but, you know,

I'm expecting the worst.

How are you, mate?

As Mick heads off to the ceremony,

Jess is nervously waiting with her aunt

for the final member of her wedding party to arrive -

her father, ex-professional boxer, Troy.

What time is your dad getting here?

Dad should be here sometime soon, hopefully.

I'm freaking out.

I'm just so worried what my Dad's going to be like,

because he's so protective of me

and I'm like his baby girl, you know?

and I'm like his baby girl, you know?

So I'm just...

I think he's really worried

and he just doesn't want me to get hurt.

Again.

I haven't seen my Dad in like a year,

so once I've given him a hug, cuddle, kiss, I'll calm. (LAUGHS)

Oh, my goodness. (WEDDING PARTY EXPRESSES AWE)

You look beautiful.

You look amazing! Thank you!

REBECCA: I feel really teary.

She's beautiful and I just really want her to be happy

She's beautiful and I just really want her to be happy

and for someone to love her

like she deserves to be loved.

You've got this. We're getting married!

Jessika's usual types have never worked out

and I think it was time for Jess to move away from that.

Show it. You look beautiful.

Thank you. I hope Dad doesn't freak out.

Yeah. He is a loose cannon.

I'm feeling nervous for Jess.

There's some strong personalities in our family

and I just want everything to be perfect

and I just want everything to be perfect

for Jess today. Yep.

Hi!

Look at you. Hey, Daddy!

How are you?

I love you. I love you.

That's my baby.

She's mine and we're very, very close, yep, so...

You look gorgeous. Thank you.

I'm going to ruin my make-up.

(INHALES, EXHALES)

You look amazing. Look, I've already gotten you...

You look amazing. Look, I've already gotten you...

Oh, look at you. Bloody superstar!

Look at you! (GIGGLES)

I just haven't seen my Dad in so long,

so I was really excited and he thinks I look gorgeous,

so I'm really happy that he's happy with my dress and with me and yeah.

I'm nervous. You're a bit nervous?

We'll be nervous together.

I'm a bit dubious. You know, I would have liked to have met him,

just to say hello, you know what I mean?

But she put herself in for this, so what do you do?

But she put herself in for this, so what do you do?

Thanks, Dad. That's alright, baby.

(GIGGLES)

He's probably a little bit freaked out

with what I'm doing but you know,

he'll always be there for me no matter what I do,

so now I'm just apprehensive and ready to get this going.

(TENSE MUSIC)

With both bride and groom on their way,

friends and family gather for the ceremony,

friends and family gather for the ceremony,

including Jess' protective older brother, Rhyce.

She's dated a lot of people that I haven't approved of in the past

and if it's someone I don't like, then as her older brother,

I'm going to step in and intervene.

(TENSE MUSIC) Yeah, minutes away from, uh,

you know, D-day as they call it.

I honestly have no idea what to expect.

You only want to get married once, so feeling a bit nervous now.

You only want to get married once, so feeling a bit nervous now.

Knowing that soon you'll be getting married

to someone you've never met,

thinking, Jesus, is this the right decision?

(EPIC MUSIC)

How're youse going?

The heart is starting to race a bit.

How're you going?

Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd end up here.

Sorry to disappoint already.

(CHURCH BELLS)

(TENSE MUSIC)

Being up in front of everyone,

I can feel all her family are judging me.

Sorry to disappoint already.

I've got a head for radio, so by the time she gets towards me,

hopefully she doesn't run.

TROY: It's not too late to turn around, darling.

I know. I'm starting to think now, am I making the right decision?

Probably not the best thing to start thinking that right now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I'm getting married to a complete stranger.

I'm just a bit nervous now.

I'm just really scared that I won't like him.

I have no idea what to expect.

Worse thing that could happen is she takes a glimpse of me

and bloody tucks her head in her shell

and buggers off back into the ocean.

(EXHALES)

All of my nerves are hitting me at the minute now.

I don't want someone that just wants the pretty all the time,

the Instagram Jess.

I'm just a bundle of nerves and anxiety

that we may not be attracted to each other straight away.

that we may not be attracted to each other straight away.

There will be some personality in there

that I'm going to try and unlock.

Love, to me, would mean being in a room full of people

and only seeing that one person.

I'd love to have that feeling. That'd be amazing.

(GIGGLES)

Heavens to Betsy.

Hi!

Hi!

How are you doin'?

G'day, mate. How are you? Good, how are you doing?

Oh, Dad.

Hi! How are you? How are you going?

Thank you, Daddy.

Very impressed, uh, you know, how well she looks.

I know, how are you?

Good, mate. How are you? I'm Jess.

Mick, how are you? Lovely to meet you.

How are you going?

Oh, glad you rocked up!

Let's hold hands. Yeah, righto!

(EXHALES)

Jessika's a Maserati

as opposed to a Datsun, definitely.

A bloody good looking girl.

A bloody good looking girl.

Oh, God! How is everyone going?

I'm about as dry as a dead dingo's donger, now.

(LAUGHTER)

He's not the look that I would go for.

Let's just do this really quickly.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was hilarious.

Just a bit lower, just a bit lower.

(LAUGHTER)

Phew, God damn. Where were we?

Back to me. I mean us.

(LAUGHTER)

Personality like mine! Winning!

Personality like mine! Winning!

(LAUGHTER)

Friends and family,

we're gathered to celebrate the very special marriage

of Mick and Jessika.

Do you choose each other to be husband and wife?

Will you share your time

and attention and value every day you have together?

You got - yeah? Good?

Yeah. Me too.

We don't say 'I do,' there, do we?

Nah? Yeah, we do.

It's me first time, yeah.

Me, too. (EXHALES)

Jessika, would you like to share your vows with us?

I would.

It's crazy to think that I'm committing myself

to a complete stranger, but I'm here today

with my heart open and my mind clear.

I will dream with you, celebrate with you

and walk beside you in whatever our lives may bring.

We both came here today separately,

but we'll be leaving as one big crazy family,

with a whole lot of love and happiness.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

The heart is starting to race a bit.

I can feel a little bit of chemistry there,

so fingers crossed

so fingers crossed

she's feeling something too, hopefully.

Who would have thought that we'd be standing here today,

marrying the person we just laid eyes on?

Marrying and then sharing my life with someone that I just met

is scary and bloody exciting at the same time.

(ROMANTIC MUSIC)

I promise to make you laugh and I promise to make you cry,

I promise to make you smile and make you go, 'Oh, God, why?'

(LAUGHTER)

I promise to annoy the pants off you

and allow you to just be you.

and allow you to just be you.

I'm the type of bloke who doesn't take life too seriously

but I'll give this relationship here 100%

and I guarantee we'll rise to the top.

He seems like a really good person.

I just feel a warmth coming him.

So yeah, I'm actually really happy.

Jessika and Mick,

it gives me great joy to now announce you husband and wife.

Mick, you may now kiss the bride.

Yeeha!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Jessika's everything I asked for.

I don't even know if I asked for all of it

but yeah, she's...

Yeah. Good. Good.

Yeah! That's a good thing, isn't it?

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Meeting my new husband has definitely made me excited now

for the future, because he's so funny.

(EXHALES)

I'm really happy with what the experts have chosen for me.

(TENSE MUSIC) MEL: Woo!

Hallelujah!

Here we are.

After a frantic morning,

Mel has finally made it to the Hawkesbury River,

but she has very little time to get ready.

So we're running about two hours late at the moment.

Oh (BLEEP). You've basically got half an hour

to do your hair and make-up.

I would rather be two hours late

than only have half an hour to do that.

than only have half an hour to do that.

Deep breaths.

I'm about to marry a stranger and I've only got half an hour

to do hair and make-up.

(EXHALES) You're getting it done, Melissa.

That's the difference.

Well, I don't want to talk right now because they're like, it just, yeah.

It's all good.

I think Mel's a little stressed and I can understand why.

It's a big deal.

But hopefully she pulls it together and gets there and isn't too late.

We've got about five minutes. Well, yeah, OK.

But I'll be ready when I'm ready. There's nothing I can do.

But I'll be ready when I'm ready. There's nothing I can do.

I can't get ready any faster.

This is my wedding day, do you think I wanted to be late?

(BLEEP) You need to take a deep breath.

(SNIFFS, SIGHS)

There's nothing I can do. I was late. I can't change that.

(GENTLE, PLAYFUL MUSIC)

As we breathe out, let go of any worries, tension,

any baggage and let's just enjoy the present moment.

TENDAI: I'd say Dino is one of the most chilled out,

relaxed people I know.

He's doing what he usually does, which is just relax

and not try to overthink things.

(LAUGHTER)

It's starting to feel real now.

I just feel really positive.

ALL: Dino's wedding! Yeah!

I'm looking forward to the surprise that I have planned

for my future wife.

(LAUGHTER)

I hope she likes it.

I wonder what she looks like. I just want to see her now!

I wonder what she looks like. I just want to see her now!

(LAUGHS)

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

The wedding guests have arrived

but Mel is still applying the final touches.

I wish that my morning was totally different.

I wish that I could do it again.

I don't feel as confident or great after this morning,

but I can't take it back.

but I can't take it back.

Bet you say that to all the brides. But that's OK. Yep.

EMILIO: Melissa's dream is to get married.

I am concerned.

I could see she was worried and upset.

It hasn't really been a good start.

It's just very stressful. You don't want to be rushed

and stressed on your wedding day. No.

I've been single for over eight years

and finally, I am getting married.

I never thought I'd be 38 and alone.

Being this age and single,

Being this age and single,

I am putting a lot of pressure on this.

It's my last chance.

I will be devastated if it doesn't work.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Ladies and gentlemen,

sorry about the delay. It shouldn't be too much longer.

What's going on?

Ah, there it is. That's the ceremony. OK.

There it is there. Oh, shit, OK. It really is.

It is happening.

OK.

Hi, everyone!

How's it going?

Sorry if I'm late.

Um, where's the groom?

Oh, my God. I've been left at the altar.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I think he got really cold feet because I was so late.

Are you OK?

I know. It's alright.

You alright, Mel? We're all here.

Do you know what's happening? No, no. Excellent.

Oh, my God. I have no idea what is going on.

Oh, my God. I have no idea what is going on.

No frickin' way.

(CHEERING)

(CHURCH BELLS)

(EPIC FOREBODING MUSIC)

Are you OK?

I know. (MURMURING)

It's alright.

You alright, Mel? We're all here.

Do you know what's happening? No, no. Excellent.

I'm thinking he got really cold feet and just left because I was so late.

(BOLLYWOOD-INSPIRED MUSIC)

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. He's on a horse.

No frickin' way.

(APPLAUSE)

I have arrived!

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

That's hilarious! (GRUNTS)

Oh, he fell. (CHUCKLES)

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

Oh, my God, he kissed the horse.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Thank you, thank you.

(LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHS)

Phew! I'm sorry it took so long. Hi! I know, you took ages!

The horse took time to get ready.

That was a great entrance. Thank you.

Oh, wow.

Thank you, universe!

Today, I've attracted marriage

to the most beautiful woman I've ever met.

My goodness, I've scored the jackpot!

Oh! (ATTENDEES REACT WARMLY)

You're forgiven already. It's alright!

He's got a nice smile. He's very handsome.

And he's kind of got that playful side.

What was your name?

Dino. Oh, Dino!

Yes, yes. Dino.

OK, excellent. I'm Melissa.

Melissa. Nice to meet you.

Melissa. Nice to meet you.

Lovely to meet you. Thank you.

Amazing. (CHUCKLES)

Before we get started, there's something I want to do...

Oh, my God. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

This is something I feel every woman

should deserve at least once in her life.

So, in the name of tradition... Mm-hmm?

(LAUGHS) Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. Wow. Wow!

Don't worry, the ring's coming later!

(BOTH LAUGH)

So sweet. What do I do?

So sweet. What do I do?

What am I meant to do? Can I have your hand

and start this beautiful journey?

Oh, OK, absolutely, yes.

That is so lovely, isn't it? That's really cute.

Yep. Oh, stop!

That is very cute, thank you. Thanks so much.

What a gentleman. He is full of surprises.

That was really lovely and he's very soft,

so it's a nice jacket.

And you smell good! He smells good.

(LAUGHTER) Thank you! (CHUCKLES)

Good afternoon, everyone.

Today, we are witnesses to the start of Dino and Melissa's love story.

Melissa, do you mind reading your vows?

OK.

Mmm.

Do you want me to hold your flowers? Maybe.

I'll hold them. Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry.

Gotta put these guns to good use.

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

OK.

Today, I am committing myself wholeheartedly to this marriage

and to becoming your wife.

and to becoming your wife.

I vow to show you the best of me

and I'm looking forward to learning about the best of you,

so that we can work together to build a perfect partnership.

I am loud, vibrant and I have no filter.

Some people say that I can be a handful,

but luckily, you've got two hands

and I promise never to be more than you can carry.

I vow to keep working on

and updating these vows to you as we go,

because we just met and because one set of vows

can't possibly be enough for what's ahead as we grow,

can't possibly be enough for what's ahead as we grow,

change and start our lives together as husband and wife.

Beautiful. Thanks.

I get a good vibe from Melissa

and I'm looking forward to getting her know her soul.

So Dino, do you mind reading your vows to Melissa?

You know what? I'm not gonna read off this.

I just feel the words have to come straight from my heart,

as these are promises that we have to live by,

as these are promises that we have to live by,

in this journey together.

So, I'll start with saying namaste.

It means I bow to the divine in you,

which is a sign of respect

and a sign of appreciation for just who you are.

Today, marriage might seem like an empty box,

but believe me, when we learn the art of giving,

loving, praising and serving one another,

and we keep doing that to fill this box,

it will result in two beautiful hearts full of love,

it will result in two beautiful hearts full of love,

joyful minds and bodies that signify radiant energy.

And that will allow us to grow into one powerful, married couple.

Thank you. Wow.

You weren't reading that behind me?! Like, wow!

I didn't look at this once. OK, that's amazing.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it gives me the greatest pleasure to declare you as husband and wife.

Dino, you may kiss your bride.

Oh, OK. Just a little one, just a little one.

Oh, OK. Just a little one, just a little one.

Am I allowed to kiss you?

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

OK, that's exciting!

And we're married!

I'm feeling amazing.

Amazing.

Amazing, amazing, amazing.

(CHUCKLES)

I think science...

I have this feeling that science and the universe

have come together to make this happen.

I believe she is my type, physically.

Whether it be mentally, whether it be spiritually,

Whether it be mentally, whether it be spiritually,

I'll have to find out.

Yeah, look, Dino does seem quite spiritual

and, I mean, I don't think I am

very much at all. (LAUGHS)

But I'm really looking forward to finding out more about him.

(UPLIFTING MUSIC)

You right? Yeah.

You're gonna be bloody covered in dirt, the bottom layer...

I don't really care.

I don't really care.

Alright.

That's beautiful.

(CAMERA NOISES)

(LAUGHS)

Jessika seems just a very down-to-earth, genuine girl,

so the experts have definitely done a good job.

I've got 11 acres up in Gympie. Oh, really? Wow.

So you have horses and things?

I've got 19 sheep.

I frickin' love sheep.

I think he is the bloody bees knees.

I think he's so funny

and I instantly felt comfortable with him. He's great.

And a little kiss.

Yeah, it feels good, sneaking in a few cheeky kisses with her.

I feel like a bloody happy school kid.

He's a pretty good kisser.

Mmm! (GIGGLES)

Tick, tick, tick to that.

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

TRISHA: Body language is a good indicator

of how comfortable our couples feel to one another.

Maybe a little bit of a peck on the cheek.

Maybe a little bit of a peck on the cheek.

Melissa hasn't been intimate with a man for eight years,

so this time with Dino will be a real challenge for her.

Yeah, that's great.

(GIGGLES)

Sorry.

Having wedding photos when you're meant to,

I don't know, kind of be quite romantic, sexual,

kissing or whatever, I think is quite awkward.

Thanks. Oh, my God! Don't!

Thanks. Oh, my God! Don't!

Give him an inch, he'll take a mile.

He was ready to go in.

Mate, they're those lips that you kissed the horse with.

I don't know about you, you know?

Dino, maybe a little bit of a kiss on the forehead?

Melissa, looking at me.

It didn't really feel like a photoshoot. It felt natural.

Looking at one another.

(LAUGHS)

I just, the way you do it, it's so funny.

We've got that physical connection somehow or the other.

(LAUGHS) What did you - you're creeping on me!

(LAUGHS) What did you - you're creeping on me!

I believe it's a great chemistry.

(LAUGHS)

I wouldn't say there's chemistry yet but you know,

obviously let's see what happens.

Coming up...

It's now time for the first lot of speeches.

..the speech that derails Jess and Mick's wedding.

I just think it was total (BLEEP) bullshit.

(BLEEP) rubbish.

(CHURCH BELLS)

(UPLIFTING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

SISTER: I hope Mel's more relaxed now.

I hope she's had a nice afternoon.

Wonder where they are? Just making out on the paddock.

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please get a big, warm

round of applause for the bride and groom,

Melissa and Dino.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Hello! Hello!

NARRATOR: With photographs out of the way,

Mel and Dino join their guests for the reception.

But before the formalities begin,

But before the formalities begin,

there's one person Dino wants to introduce to his new bride.

You need to meet my Mum.

Over here. Oh, hi!

How are you, beautiful? Something I do with my Mum

is I touch her feet, so yeah. You look beautiful.

Oh, my gosh. I don't even care about that.

Yeah, so something...

Oh, I was like...

What is that? Oh, is it? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I didn't know what was going on.

I thought you were fixing her shoes.

(LAUGHTER) Sorry! I was like,

(LAUGHTER) Sorry! I was like,

I thought you were just doing that!

Apparently that's a sign of respect, to touch the feet.

So every time he sees his mum, apparently he touches her feet.

That's nice. OK. So if you do that, that's what you're doing. OK.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's beautiful. Oh.

I was like, OK, is that just something that you do?

Should I now go down?

And then I'm like, no one's touched my feet. Like... (CHUCKLES)

And who else is there? OK.

Nephew. He's like a mini-me. Oh, he is!

Nephew. He's like a mini-me. Oh, he is!

He is. Hi, how are you going? Melissa.

Aw. Oh, this is nice.

What's your name? Hashu.

Hashil. Hashu.

Oh, Hashu? Oh! Hashu! Like, achoo!

(LAUGHTER)

Yeah. So that's how I'll remember it, yeah.

That's so nice.

Melissa, she was really jovial

and full of humour

and that's the kind of person he is, as well.

They look perfect together, honestly.

Oh, my God. I'm so hungry. Oh, yes.

Oh, my God. I'm so hungry. Oh, yes.

I'm right into the roll.

If anyone doesn't want theirs, I'll do it.

What's mine is yours now, and what's yours is mine.

(CHUCKLES)

(MUFFLED SPEECH)

The connection between the two of us is amazing so far.

Being so comfortable around that energy already

is a great start.

I feel I'm more of a Virgo. You feel more of a Virgo. Yeah.

But then when it comes to friends and enjoying myself, it's a Libra.

Yeah. Yeah, with one side coming out.

Yeah. Yeah, with one side coming out.

Yeah.

Dino isn't the normal type of guy I've gone for before.

I like to use meditation in my daily life,

like the chanting and the mantras and stuff.

You know, being so spiritual

and with his culture,

obviously we are totally different people.

Don't you feel souls have maybe met before in previous lifetimes?

Whoa, I mean...

This experiment is so important to me.

I really, really want this to work.

But at the moment, I'm not sure what we have in common.

But at the moment, I'm not sure what we have in common.

Thanks to the universe.

This was an amazing, unique opportunity...

Yeah. ..to meet you.

Yeah, yeah. There you go. Mmm.

(CHUCKLES EXCITEDLY)

Mmm, yeah.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

In northern NSW,

Jess and Mick arrive for their country-style reception.

I'm Jess, by the way. G'day, I'm Broxy.

Lovely to meet you.

I thought so. And your name was...

(LAUGHTER) When I first saw Jess,

(LAUGHTER) When I first saw Jess,

I was pretty impressed.

He hasn't won lotto but it's pretty close to it, I'd say.

What have you guys been up to? Did you have a session or something?

(LAUGHS) None of your bloody business.

Oh, you can share us.

You sound like a troublemaker. He is, he is.

The first thing he says is, 'Does Jess like to party?'

What did you say? I said, 'I don't know...'

She told me a few stories,

don't worry, Jess. Really?

Did you throw her right under the bus, did you?

No, of course I didn't. I threw you under the bus

straight away. Did you?

My role is to tell a few stories to people,

My role is to tell a few stories to people,

make sure they know what he's like...

Cheers. Cheers.

..because I have plenty and they are gold.

You can have some cheese, mate.

Want some cheese? Oh.

Oh, it's butter. You prick.

(LAUGHTER)

What a stich-up.

(LAUGHTER)

JOHN: The reception gives our couples a chance

to meet their new partner's friends and family.

What are your names, anyway? Kaiser.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Mick, how are you doing?

However, this can be a minefield

when there's a family member who is hostile to the experiment.

TROY: Being a father, I don't think anyone's good enough for my daughter.

She's my little angel. She's my baby.

He stitched me up! Bastard. Bloody Jesus.

Normally I would meet the man who's going to marry my daughter.

But I met him two minutes and said, 'Here's my angel.' God almighty.

(FOREBODING MUSIC)

Do you think they look good together or not?

She normally goes for better looking guys.

I don't reckon they match.

(LAUGHS)

I think he's beneath Jess.

He's definitely not what she normally goes for.

Oh, these are weird, aren't they? I've bloody...

He's a bit country bogan-ish.

I think Jess can do a lot better than that.

But that's me, her brother.

That's horrendous. (GIGGLES)

I tell you what, mate - if they work out or they don't,

if he hurts her, I'll (BLEEP) kill him.

(LAUGHTER)

(LAUGHTER)

(CHURCH BELLS)

What's this?

It's like a pea and leak soup.

I love to cook

so I know what this is. Good cook, are you?

Yeah.

The wedding's going perfectly.

I really like him. I really think he has a good personality.

(LAUGHS) Oh, thank you.

At the moment, he is ticking every box.

Usually, you've gotta tuck this in, too.

Please pop it on your lap.

I'm just really happy.

I'm really happy.

I'm really happy.

OK, everyone.

It's now time for the first lot of speeches

and first up, Mick's best man, Broxy.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

MICK: Of course I'm worried about his speech.

Brox doesn't let the truth get in the way of a good story,

but I'm hoping he goes easy on the stories

and sort of eases the wife into how I am.

Welcome to everyone.

It's great to see everyone here tonight.

Uh, Jess...

You are lucky.

He's a pretty top bloke.

He's not afraid of his shortcomings, you know, he'll try anything.

I'll tell you a bit of a story about him.

We went up to Airlie Beach...

..just for a couple of drinks and we've drunk the whole bar dry,

just me and him. You know, we're having a good time

and Mick's gone to me,

'I'm going to take some Viagra.'

So he's taken the Viagra, just as a bit of a gee-up.

Mick's going rare at everything he bloody can

Mick's going rare at everything he bloody can

but nothing's come at him.

Better not take any of that on the honeymoon.

Obviously the Viagra's worked

and I'm asleep, I've woken up, and I can hear some noises.

I open me eyes, he's made himself

a bloody tent over himself and he's having a go.

(BLEEP) really?

I'm going, 'Oh, Jesus, mate! Bloody hell!

Wow! How many times have you done this?'

He goes, 'Oh, at least five.'

(DARK MUSIC)

He's finished and we're all safe.

So now you know a bit about Mick.

You prick. You prick.

Have a good night, everyone.

What the (BLEEP) was that?

The best man speech, I thought it was disgusting.

Why would you bring up Viagra?

I don't want to think about you having sex with my sister.

Obviously I'm very protective and from what I've seen

from his best mate,

I don't really think that highly of him at the moment.

Probably not the best story to tell at a wedding, but um...

I thought it was a bloody ripper.

I just think it was total (BLEEP) bullshit.

There's places for that sort of talk, you know,

with a group of boys out in the paddock

having a piss-up, not with young ladies around.

(BLEEP) wanker.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

She's still my baby.

You're at your wedding with your wife sitting next to you

and you're talking about the fact that you've gone out

to hook up with girls and take Viagra?

I am worried because my family's opinion

does mean a lot to me.

(BLEEP)

If the best man is a reflection of Mick,

maybe Mick's a wanker as well.

Down on the Hawkesbury,

Mel is uncertain how she feels about new husband Dino,

and she's turned to sister Rebecca to voice her concerns.

Like...

I still don't know what namaste means.

Like, he said that in the vows

but I still don't know what it means.

Does anyone? Excellent.

Namaste. Like, you know...

Namaste. See, I don't even know now what I'm saying!

Yeah, I think he explained what it meant in his vows.

I am not at all used to being with someone that is this spiritual.

I am putting a lot of pressure on this for it to work.

This experiment is my last chance.

How was your day?

It was full-on.

It was full-on.

Like, I'm just looking forward to not frickin' crying.

But I'm so glad that that's done and now I can...

Now you can just have fun. Yeah!

Now this is the experiment.

I feel like, though, the only one thing is

he's so spiritual. But that's a good thing.

But so much more than me. I'll chat with him.

No, no, that's good, but as in...

It balances you out.

But does it balance me out or make me look really not...

No, it doesn't, it balances you out because that is what you deserve.

You just don't know that yet. Yeah.

You just don't know that yet. Yeah.

He's probably the best person to hold your hand,

because you need to be open and just let someone like that,

who seems really nurturing, and really calm, gentle and kind

just look after you.

He's not someone that we would first off choose,

but I think they've done a really good job

in matching two people to bring out the best in each other.

Like he said, he got the jackpot.

Oh, I mean, didn't he say some cute things?

I mean, he's pretty good at it. Yeah, yeah.

He is very, you know, spiritual and things like that

He is very, you know, spiritual and things like that

but that's probably good for me, like my friends pointed out.

We compliment each other

and he is actually just such a really nice guy.

Back at Jess and Mick's reception,

Mick is unaware of the growing disapproval amongst Jess' family.

I flipped someone the bird

They said, 'What happened to your finger?' I said,

'A dingo came and ripped it off,' and they're all going, 'No!'

JESS: My family, their opinion about my partner is important to me

JESS: My family, their opinion about my partner is important to me

and if they don't like somebody,

it would be very hard to make the relationship work.

I'll have to come up with a couple more stories.

I haven't even spoken one word to him,

but I don't like the guy.

I'm the older brother, I'm protective.

I'm a gentleman, so I'll tell you tomorrow.

If he takes advantage, I'll kill him, straight away.

I'm definitely going to pull him aside and say,

I think you're not good enough for my sister.

Excuse me, mate. I've gotta talk to you.

Oh, righto.

(TENSE MUSIC)

What brother?

Oh, shit.

(CHURCH BELLS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I'm a gentleman, so I'll tell you tomorrow.

(LAUGHTER)

I haven't even spoken one word to him,

but I don't like the guy.

(LAUGHS)

I'm definitely going to pull him aside and say,

I think that you are not good enough for my sister.

Excuse me, mate, I've gotta talk to you.

Oh, righto.

Rhyce just came up and tapped me on the back and said, 'Outside.'

So, yeah, I was shitting bricks.

Oh, shit.

So I've brought you outside tonight -

I just want to know what your intentions with my sister are.

I want to make sure this all rolls smoothly

and you're not here to (BLEEP) her around

and break her heart,

because I don't want to have to (BLEEP).

Who?

Shit.

What are you after? Oh, mate, um...

I'll tell you right now,

I don't want to get beaten up by you.

I tried to avoid any sort of confrontation

but holy cow, this happening.

Cheers, good. Mick. How are you doing?

How are you going? Yeah, just...

Yeah, just good.

What did you think of your best man's speech?

I thought it was inappropriate at a wedding like this.

Um, don't get me wrong, I love my friends

Um, don't get me wrong, I love my friends

and that sort of thing, but that was just,

yeah, that was just stupid. But you know...

It's not something you say in a best man's speech,

especially me being the bigger brother and protective.

Yes. She's dated a lot of dickheads

in the past and I've had to sort that out for her

and I just want her to meet someone nice that looks after her.

Absolutely. I'm, yeah, I hope I'm that person for her.

Rhyce coming over and chatting was probably a good thing.

You know, he's just making sure his little sister's

going to get looked after and, you know,

I hope I'm that bloke to look after her.

I hope I'm that bloke to look after her.

Absolutely, yeah. Well, just...

Nah, yeah, shit yeah. She obviously deserves it. Absolutely.

From that conversation, if I drift down the wrong path,

I reckon I'll have more than two people on my back, so...

Hopefully you make her happy. Yeah, good as gold.

I'll see you later anyway. Yeah, will do.

Thanks very much, yeah.

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

(LAUGHS) Something you prepared earlier.

Put something into it. (CHUCKLES)

Mel and Dino are superficially very different,

but if they really work to get to know each other,

I'm confident that they'll find common ground.

So, um, you're spiritual and you're, yeah,

you're very in tune with all that stuff.

Like, you can see... Yeah, yeah.

Like, I'm not, though.

That's alright. Spirituality, it comes when you're actually ready.

That's alright. Spirituality, it comes when you're actually ready.

I had this dream.

I dreamt of this masculine figure

at the Himalayan mountains, with a snake around their neck.

I woke up in tears, you know - it was like the start of something.

A new phase of my life.

So I think this journey is for both us

and I genuinely think, you know,

it's a connection that's meant to happen.

Yeah, I still don't understand the dream, though,

that you just said, about the guy with the snake and stuff, so yeah.

that you just said, about the guy with the snake and stuff, so yeah.

So, baby steps. That was too much. Yeah, baby steps.

That answer was too much for me,

because I'm in like beginners bloody,

like, you know, spiritual school.

Compromise is very important in marriage.

It is a two-way street.

If I'm talking one language

and she's actually not understanding me,

we're going to be totally going the opposite directions

and I want us to come together

and I do need to take baby steps with her,

because I think it'll make us both grow.

I wanted someone who was confident

I wanted someone who was confident

and I wanted someone who's just themselves and you are amazing.

You are so confident in yourself and that's beautiful.

Never change that, please.

Never change that. See, well, actually,

that was one of my things that I said -

I said that I want to be with someone

who can be themselves and look at the other person

and let them be themselves

and just love them for them. Beautiful.

I'm not at all a spiritual person,

so yeah, I think he's now aware

and I think that he understands that.

and I think that he understands that.

And the experts,

they've obviously put us together for a reason.

I am interested in learning about that side of things

and see if spirituality connects with me.

So, yeah. I'm even speaking like it now.

See if it connects with me, if I have an energy, yeah.

(TENSE MUSIC)

At the minute, I've got mixed feelings.

I think Mick is hilarious,

I think he's good-looking and I get a good vibe.

But then my family are sort of just a little bit more apprehensive.

But then my family are sort of just a little bit more apprehensive.

(LAUGHS) ELIZA: I wasn't so happy

with the groomsman speech.

It wasn't very tasteful for a wedding,

especially for someone you've just met.

It doesn't look very good on Mick's behalf.

I feel like maybe he might take life as a joke.

Yeah, would he be able to have a serious conversation with you?

Yeah, would he be able to be deep with you?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I didn't even think about that. Like, you need someone...

I feel Mick is putting on a little bit of a facade tonight.

I feel Mick is putting on a little bit of a facade tonight.

I'm really worried that he's not ready to step out

of that boy phase of like, you know, out with the boys, having a drink.

But I am looking for love. I would be absolutely heartbroken

if it turned out that this was just a joke to him.

So yeah, I've spoken to everybody tonight

and my family mean everything to me and their opinion is a lot.

I'm obviously in this for a life partner

and they just worry that - you know, like,

they don't want me to be hurt. Mmm.

And your friend, he took the one... Do not believe a word that he said.

And your friend, he took the one... Do not believe a word that he said.

Are you sure? Positive.

Everything.

Well, I'm glad.

I've been told I don't take a lot of things seriously enough

but it's something that I probably need to try a bit harder

to show Jess.

So how long have you lived out where you are now?

Uh, about a year and a half, two years. Yeah.

And you've always done farm life?

Nope. What made you want to do that?

One of my mates who couldn't actually make it tonight,

he's got 14 acres and he's got a couple of kids

and I was like, this is how I wanna live.

So you want children?

They're something that you do want? Yeah, yeah, of course.

Excellent. A couple of tackers running around.

If I'm gonna have kids, I want them to be not on your phone,

on your iPad... Nah, they need to utilise

their imagination.

I like that that's your way of thinking.

It's exactly like mine.

Mmm. So that's great.

We had a beautiful chat. It's really re-lit all of those emotions I had

We had a beautiful chat. It's really re-lit all of those emotions I had

from when I first met him.

I'm feeling so much more relaxed

and so much more confident in this now.

How are you, warm? I'm freezing.

Really? Yeah, feel my arm.

You are, too. Do you want this? Thank you.

Having a woman like Jess,

it sort of makes you try to do the utmost to respect her,

because I'm feeling the start of something,

so I'm hoping she feels it too.

If I don't say much, that's when you know...

Good.

Good.

(GIGGLES) OK.

I'm happy. Good, good.

I did want to kiss him then

but I'm not one to take the lead on things like that.

Well, let's go in. Yeah, let's go.

You right, darl? Yeah, sorry.

(GIGGLES) Ah, God damn.

(CHURCH BELLS)

(EPIC DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(CHEERING)

As the festivities draw to a close, our newlywedded couples

head into the future together as husband and wife.

I think Mick's a great guy

and I really want my family to see that.

Love you!

I'm really excited to see where this goes.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I think you're a top bloke.

So far. Definitely ticking

all the boxes so far.

That's good. (GIGGLES)

That's good. (GIGGLES)

Cheers.

Cheers. To us.

To a happy marriage.

If you said this morning this is how it would have panned out,

I probably would have called you a liar,

but I'm definitely looking forward to getting to know her a bit more.

I need some help undoing my dress. You need a hand?

Yes, please. Oh, with pleasure.

Oh, wow, this is nice. (GIGGLES)

First night together as husband and wife, you know,

you don't pull the icing sugar out and put it on a cake

if you haven't baked it yet.

There we go.

Obviously sex has crossed my mind a little bit.

Obviously sex has crossed my mind a little bit.

He is a really good kisser.

Like, really good.

I'm hoping for a couple more kisses

and some nice cuddling and then I'm hoping that he'll surprise me.

As Jess and Mick settle in for the night,

Mel and Dino arrive at their hotel.

Thank you. (GIGGLES)

I think Dino's great, even though,

you know, we as personalities may be different,

we still have the same kind of endgame

of what we're looking for.

of what we're looking for.

Oh, my gosh.

I have been single for eight years.

The fact that I haven't had a relationship for so long,

I've forgotten what it's like to be in one.

Here, I can do my lemon water.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I'll do my coffee and bacon and eggs or something,

you have your little lemon water and plant or something.

It has been a while since I've, uh...

Had a man.

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

I'll just sit here and drink my champagne while he showers.

I'll just sit here and drink my champagne while he showers.

Mmm, I shouldn't have done that.

Yeah, I've forgotten what I'm like in a relationship,

what they're like, what I'm meant to do.

Hey. Hi.

How was your shower?

Good. Oh, I needed that one.

Yeah, I know. I'm actually glad that I went,

because I could have just passed out.

Yeah. Good shower.

So refreshed. Yep, I was like,

So refreshed. Yep, I was like,

it's so good to get my make-up off.

It is, hey?

What do you mean? Did you have some on?

No. (BOTH LAUGH)

So far, I'm feeling, yeah, there is definitely a connection.

So you sleep on your side? Yeah. Huh?

Do you sleep on your side?

I sometimes sleep on my side, yeah. Oh, good.

My side, or my back or yeah. I feel like you're taking up

a lot of the room, though, yeah. Oh, yeah, of course.

I think the sparks are going to fly in so many different ways.

Tomorrow night...

Can't hide it. I'm just gonna be freaking out.

I think I'm gonna vomit.

..one match is sizzling...

Oh, my God.

This is the biggest thing I've ever done.

..but the other looks like fizzling...

I'm just here for the food and the drinks.

..unless Mark can win over...

It's difficult to tell whether she even likes me.

..his bristling bride.

No, that's even worse!

Any excuse to touch me, geez.

Any excuse to touch me, geez.
