All language subtitles for Married At First Sight S06E03

NARRATOR: Last night...

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

(SCREAMS)

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

..Mel almost missed her own wedding.

Sorry if I'm late.

But there was no missing Dino.

I have arrived!

No frickin' way.

While farmer Mick
couldn't believe his luck...

Hi.
Heaven to Betsy.

..when he was matched with
bombshell bride Jess.

I think he is the bloody bee's knees.

I think he is the bloody bee's knees.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Tonight...
HEIDI: I can't hide it.

I'm just gonna be freaking out.

I think I'm gonna vomit.

..one match is sizzling...

Oh, my god.

MIKE: This is the biggest thing...
(SIGHS) ..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, jeez.

Any excuse to touch me, jeez.

(BELL TOLLS)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

In northern NSW,

Jessika and Mick are waking up

after spending their first night
together as husband and wife.

Oh. Who are you?
(LAUGHS)

Mick and I sort of opened up quite
a bit last night after the wedding.

He's really great,

and I've got everything
that I've asked for

and a match with somebody
that's so much like myself.

and a match with somebody
that's so much like myself.

We just have a good connection,
which is great.

(LAUGHS)

I'm hoping there's
a chemistry there.

Might have got a sneaky little kiss,
but, yeah, that's about it.

I look gross.

Unbelievable.

You're unbelievable.

(BOTH LAUGH)

She is a gorgeous woman,
but I've just got to play it slow,

and, you know, hopefully
we're in for the long haul.

I just don't know what to do.

You know what?
I'm just gonna go nuts.

For 38-year-old Melissa,
marriage to her husband Dino

marks the end of an
eight-year-long man drought.

Babe, baby steps. (LAUGHS)
Baby steps! (LAUGHS)

She's got that energy
that can brighten up anyone.

Pretty loud, pretty joyful,
and that's all I want.

I obviously have not had
sexual relations for quite a time.

I obviously have not had
sexual relations for quite a time.

Oh, no, I don't think
we got intimate, like,

it was just us two.

He, like, kissed me and stuff,

like a husband-and-wife
sort of kiss a few times,

but then, yeah, but nothing... No.

Come on, what's another day,
what's another week

when you've got years racked up?

Oh, my gosh.

Are we ready for some more
exciting matchmaking?

(CHUCKLES) Of the thousands
of people who applied,

one guy who really stood out for me

is 44-year-old Mike.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

I'm Mike. I'm 44 years old,
and I'm from Queensland.

I've been an electrician
for 25 years.

You know,
it's given me a lot of freedom.

I've been able to travel
and be self-employed as well.

I've been able to travel
and be self-employed as well.

I can get loose, right? Yeah.

I never really sit around
wasting time.

You know, I am a social guy.

Hey, cheers, gents.
MAN: Cheers, guys.

I've always had attention
from girls.

(SENSUAL MUSIC)

You know, that's not a bad thing.

I've been travelling
around the world

and staying in hostels and
meeting women half my age,

and I've just left a trail
of hearts in my wake.

But I'm exhausted by it.

But I'm exhausted by it.

I cannot break another heart.

What is interesting about Mike
is that he knows who he is,

he knows what he wants
in a relationship.

Yes, he is highly confident,

but also, there seems to be
a little bit of arrogance,

a little bit of showing off.

Which is why I think
it's been a challenge for him

to have a long-term relationship.

(SUBDUED PIANO MUSIC)

At middle age,

it's different to being single
in your 20s and your 30s.

It's lonely.

It's lonely.

I don't want to be a
50-year-old single man.

I never thought once
about being this age

and not having a family.

I don't want life to pass me by.

So, now's the time.

I want a family.

I still think I'm young enough
and I've got plenty of energy.

And I would love to think that
I would be a good father.

I want to be a dad
and I want to be a husband.

Really feel like I'm ready
to meet someone special

and be sincerely looking to
build a future with someone.

For the right girl,

if she captures my heart
and my imagination,

it's a done deal.

TRISHA: What I like about Mike

is that he's clearly done
a lot of self-reflection.

He's come back from overseas

and he's found that all his friends
have settled down,

and he's found that all his friends
have settled down,

and now he's finally serious about
finding the one for himself.

And while he's finally ready
to commit to a relationship,

I can't see Mike wanting to give up
his adventurous nature,

which is why I think he'd be
a great match for Heidi,

who wants to get into
a serious relationship

but also enjoy the adventure in life.

Hey, it's Heidi here this morning,
it's 24 degrees,

and we are looking for
your dating disasters.

I'm Heidi, I'm 38 years old,
and I'm from the Sunshine Coast.

I'm Heidi, I'm 38 years old,
and I'm from the Sunshine Coast.

I am a radio announcer,
and I love it so much.

(LAUGHS) Yeah! Really?

Because you just get to talk
to people about their lives.

Oh, my goodness.
I know exactly how you feel.

Excuse me, I have lots of taste!

People think that I am crazy,
because I'm enthusiastic about life.

(LAUGHS)

But why not get excited about things?
Why not? You know?

I love travelling, I love doing
different things, exploring.

I've had a few boyfriends, yep.
Quite a few.

I've had a few boyfriends, yep.
Quite a few.

OK, I've had lots of boyfriends.
(CHUCKLES)

But in the past,
when they don't work,

I just put things in a suitcase
and went on other adventures.

I've moved round
lots of different places

and kind of been searching,
I feel like, for that stability.

Heidi, you seem
very independent to me.

Yeah, very independent.
Why is that?

I grew up in a family
with lots of turmoil.

And then I had to move out of home,

so, I was 16,
and I went to foster care.

so, I was 16,
and I went to foster care.

There was nowhere for me to live
in the world.

It made me untrusting of people.

It made me think, well,
the only person I've got is myself.

Tell me about the love life
of Heidi.

What do we need to know about it?

I don't know how to meet anyone
these days.

I've swiped a left, swiped right.
That doesn't suit me.

I want to smell someone.
I want to listen to their voice.

So I feel like I'm a little bit
old-fashioned in that way.

And I feel like if I just keep going,

I'm just gonna be single
for the rest of my life,

and that's why I've come to you.

I'm ready to be settled

I'm ready to be settled

and I'm ready to begin
building a future.

I do want to create
a stable family of my own.

I would love more than anything
to find someone

that can bring me home
at the end of the night

and we can go, "Yeah,
this is our home together."

If it's the right place,
the right person, I'm gonna stay.

I've got lots of love to give,
and I am ready.

I am ready to go get that love,
and, yeah. (LAUGHS)

So, we've got fun,
free-spirited Heidi,

and then we've got Mike,
who is just as adventurous,

and then we've got Mike,
who is just as adventurous,

but understands that time is
running out for him to settle down.

I like the fact that Mike
is confident,

but also very calm.

And that balances out well
with Heidi's sort of, you know,

warm, lively personality.

Heidi and Mike, then.
Let's lock them in.

MEL: Heidi and Mike.

Now I want to talk about a feisty
hairdresser by the name of Ning.

She's an incredibly complicated
individual,

but she has a huge heart and a lot
to offer to the right partner.

but she has a huge heart and a lot
to offer to the right partner.

I'm Ning, I'm 32,
and I'm from Queensland.

I'm a hairdresser.

So, Christa...
I don't like this.

Sometimes I'm a bit blunt.

Look at all those greys.

You're all 50 shades of grey.

My approach to life is to be
yourself, to be authentic.

Are you gonna do a leafy?
BOY: Yeah.

I have three children,
aged 15, 7 and 3.

I have three children,
aged 15, 7 and 3.

You did it!
I did it!

Whoa! Did it!

I love being a mum,
I love to make my kids happy,

to feel that love from them
that I get.

Five. Well done.

As a single mum,
it's quite hard and lonely.

I think I have a lot of love to give.

I give every piece of my heart
to all my friends.

I've always got love.

Sorry.

There's no point living if you
don't have love to share with people.

There's no point living if you
don't have love to share with people.

And I just want someone
to share that love with me.

"On the big bus."
Good job.

Where do you think you've been
going wrong in relationships?

I think with trust.

I think I have a lot of trust issues.

Can you give me an insight

into some of the things that
might have hurt your trust?

OK, so, I think, um, obviously
I wasn't born in this country,

and my mother actually left me
in Thailand with my grandmother,

and my mother actually left me
in Thailand with my grandmother,

so, yeah,
so I just felt a bit abandoned,

and, yeah, so,
and I don't want to feel like that.

That's a heavy burden.

Yep, it's one of those things
I just sort of can't let go...

You know, all these years,
I've just been burying my past,

and sometimes the past comes
and bites you. Yeah.

That's been quite hard for me, to
deal with my own issues as a child,

and bringing up children of my own.

and bringing up children of my own.

So, for Ning,
the theme of abandonment

has occurred multiple times
throughout her life.

First, her mum,
and then the father of her children.

She is now so afraid
of being left again

that she's developed
strong defence mechanisms.

She can sometimes push men away.

Ning really needs someone
who is stable and rock-solid,

who's also gonna make her feel safe
and secure in her relationship.

Because she has three children
of her own,

Because she has three children
of her own,

she's also gonna need someone
who is very family oriented.

When I go through this list,

the person I keep coming back to
is Mark.

Jab across.

My name is Mark. I am 41
and I work in the fitness industry.

OK, good, good.

Good, one more.

You're killing me. (LAUGHS)

Everything in my life is pretty much
spot-on and perfect.

I've got a job, own my own car,

got my hair - little bit grey,
but I've got my own hair -

got my hair - little bit grey,
but I've got my own hair -

decent set of teeth, I've been told.

The only thing that's missing
is a partner.

I've never been in love,

and I've never said that word
in a relationship capacity.

And I've never had the word 'love'
said to me, either.

As a young man,
I joined the military,

spent a number of years
in the Australian Army.

Travelled around a lot,
I was always unsettled,

which made it hard to meet someone.

All my mates had moved on
and getting married themselves,

All my mates had moved on
and getting married themselves,

so, I decided that
I wanted a career change,

and that's when I moved
down to Melbourne.

There are some nights
that I get lonely.

I've lived on my own for
a long period of time, so...

I don't have a kettle,
I don't have an iron.

Like, I've got one plastic cup
in my house. I've got one plate.

And there's plenty of room
in the dishwasher for two.

I am at really the right time
of my life to commit to somebody.

I know that I have
a lot of love to give.

I know that I have
a lot of love to give.

And I am dying to give it
to the right person.

Ning and Mark are both at the stage

where they want stability
and security,

plus they value family very highly.

I just hope that Ning can
let her guard down.

Her abandonment issues means that
she has a tendency to put up walls.

And her brash sense of humour can be
a front to hide her insecurities.

And her brash sense of humour can be
a front to hide her insecurities.

But Mark is a rock,

and I think he'd be able
to ground her

and give her the reassurance
she needs.

So let's lock in this pair.
Ning and Mark.

NARRATOR: The experts have now
chosen our next two couples

to enter the experiment,

and these strangers will soon meet
for the first time

on their wedding day.

In Melbourne,

In Melbourne,

Mark is going suit shopping
with his best man, Michael.

MICHAEL: Oh, hello. My name's Mark,

and I'm here to sell you an
apartment. I'm not into it.

Real estate agent?
Nah, I don't know, man.

Do I hear 450?
(LAUGHS)

Man in the front.
460? Do I hear 460?

No. (LAUGHS)

The kind of guy that Mark's wife is
going to get is someone who is solid,

who is honest, is someone
who will always be there.

What you see is what you get
with Mark.

It's pretty hard to believe
that your wife is going through

this exact process.
Yeah.

TRACEY: It's got a lot of detail.

I'm sparkly.
Shine bright like a diamond.

I'm looking for something a little
bit sexy, but not too sexy.

I just want to find a style
that suits my personality.

Ooh, look at this one.
It'd be half price.

It'd be a little bit sexy.

This one's easy access!

(LAUGHS)

Ning has a very vibrant personality.

She wants to be able to show that.

It's about who she is.

I'm just really worried that
I just can't dance with him.

I'm just really worried that
I just can't dance with him.

Are you worried you'll trip on it?

Like, I like to bust a move, and
I just can't bust anything in this.

(LAUGHS)

She's funny, talkative
and really joking.

His mind's gonna be blown.

Maybe the breasts is just too much...
Too much.

..for one person to handle.
Yep.

Especially his grandpa.
Yeah. Or his dad.

His teeth might fall out.
Like, his falsies might fall out.

(LAUGHS) A bit too much. Oh!

Three children, and me,
is quite a handful.

I just don't want to give
his grandfather a heart attack.

I just don't want to give
his grandfather a heart attack.

I hope he's ready.

NARRATOR: In Sydney, Mike is about
to break the news to his family

that he's ready to give up his
party boy ways and settle down.

MIKE: There's something that
I want to share with you.

The reason I've got you all
here today is because...

I'm getting married.

What?
Mike!

I'm getting married.

What?

I don't know anything about her.

I don't know anything about her.

I don't know where she's from,
I don't know how old she is.

I'm not sure if she...
Does she have children?

I don't know that either.

Oh.

So, that's what's happening.

Trying to get my head around this.

You sort of didn't give us
any indication

that you were ready to settle down,
and...

this is a real change of direction
for you.

(CLEARS THROAT) OK.

Lot of compromises in marriage.

To take on a partner,
it involves compromise,

and he's never had to do it before.

You know, at 44,
he's run his own race,

and I think he'll find it hard,
to be honest.

Coming up...

What possessed me to do
this ridiculous thing?

..wedding nerves
shake Heidi and Mike.

Things are about to get very real.

Plus...

You know, I'm just not good enough.

(BELL TOLLS)

(TRANQUIL MUSIC)

NARRATOR: In a matter of hours,

our singles will walk down the aisle
towards a complete stranger.

MARK: Today is a massive day.

I'm 41, and I've never been in love.

I'm putting myself out there,

I'm getting married to a woman
that I've never met.

At the end of this experiment,

I would really like to be in love.

This is a massive thing to do.

But I've put a lot of faith
in myself for 41 years,

and it hasn't gotten me anywhere,

so I'm really, really hoping that
the experts have matched me

with the woman that I can spend
the rest of my life with.

(EXHALES)

NING: Good morning! (LAUGHS) Come in.

I'm getting hitched, bitch.

I'm getting hitched, bitch.

That's what I'm doing today.
What are you doing today?

I just love having an audience
while I'm eating.

I think it's a sexy look when
girls put things in their mouth.

(LAUGHTER)

Did you just say that out loud?

Yeah, I just said that out loud
for some reason.

I think Ning's going to be herself.

She says what she's thinking.
Sometimes she doesn't have a filter.

Yeah, maybe that could come out
the wrong way.

What if he lives on a farm?

I could have my rice patties
out there!

(LAUGHTER)

Sorry. I had to push the Asian thing.

I do that a lot.

She is who she is,
and we all love her for it,

so hopefully he does too.

I may need tissues for, like,
the pits,

'cause I will get nervous and sweaty.

(LAUGHTER)

MIKE: Today is the day.

I've been single for a long time,

so, I've had a good run.

I'm just gonna get in the zone,
put on a brave face, and man up.

I'm just gonna get in the zone,
put on a brave face, and man up.

The dream outcome is that I meet
a really special girl today.

WOMAN: Your toes.
What happened to your toes?

HEIDI: I bandaged them all up
in preparation for my wedding shoes.

Boxers strap their wrists up
in preparation for boxing matches,

and I strap my toes up
for high heels.

It's like literally
going for a fight.

"Alright, I'm gonna take you on."
(LAUGHS)

It's really weird to think that
I'm gonna have a husband after today.

What I'm gonna try and do
is just go with the flow.

What I'm gonna try and do
is just go with the flow.

Just... (LAUGHS)

We've got the rings here.
Wanna check them out?

MAN: Oh, yeah, they are nice.
Oh, Wow.

MAN: Yeah, that's beautiful.
That is nice, huh?

Awesome. Yes.
Oh, she's got little hands.

This is a big thing, actually.

Seeing the ring
that she's gonna wear.

It is. It is, yeah.
You take it in like that.

Seeing her ring for the first time,

I just had a moment,
a bit of a rush of blood.

It gave me the first sense
of what she might be like.

It gave me the first sense
of what she might be like.

(INHALES DEEPLY)
Oh, this is a big moment.

I'm getting more and more nervous
thinking about it now.

It's, you know,
coming to the point where it is...

(EXHALES) ..yeah, it's real.

Just that moment
where I turn around,

seeing a woman
that could be forever.

It's... It's a leap of faith.

Oh, god.

WOMAN: Oh, my gosh!

WOMAN: Oh, my gosh!

(ALL SQUEALING)

So weird!
You look amazing!

I'm gonna lose it.

You look amazing!

I suddenly feel shocked at
what I have decided to do.

Like, why have I done this?

(TENSE MUSIC)

I just feel really
out of my comfort zone.

This is so weird. I just don't...

Heidi, you look so good.
You look amazing.

You look beautiful!

I feel like my stomach's here
in my neck.

I don't know how to put my hair.

My dress doesn't feel right.
My feet are hurting.

My dress doesn't feel right.
My feet are hurting.

I think my body's just like,
"What are you doing?

"What are you doing to me?"

I need help.

Do you feel... Does that feel good?

That's better.
Once it's tied up...

But then, also,
how do I go to the toilet?

Just don't wait until
you're busting, Heids.

Tell us before you really,
really need to go.

What possessed me to do
this ridiculous thing?

MAN: This is it now. This is it.

The big moment.
(EXHALES)

Biggest moment ever, really.

I know how big this is.

You're not... Don't really know what
you're letting yourself in for.

I'm talking a big game here, but I
can tell you, I'm still shitting it.

The closer we're getting,
the more nervous I'm getting,

and I just, I don't even know
what to think right now.

I'm delusional with nerves.

What am I doing?

What am I doing?

Doesn't that look pretty?

Nup, it's not gonna happen,

and then we're gonna bugger up
the whole dress.

I'm busting to go to the toilet,
but my dress is restrictive.

We tried to hitch it up as much
as we could, and we couldn't.

We tried to hitch it up as much
as we could, and we couldn't.

I might have to step out of
the whole thing to do it.

No, you're not gonna step out of it.

No, you are not getting out
of this whole dress.

You're either using a cup
or we're loosening it.

I think that you should use a cup.

Literally, I can hardly
even split my legs.

I'd get a cup, if you...
Or a bowl! Is a bowl safer?

No, a cup is safer,
'cause a bowl is too wide.

I can't be restricted like that
all day.

So, what is the solution?
There's got to be a solution.

I need everyone to help.

(CROSSTALK)

Luckily that we're very close.

I should wash my hands first.

Because I held a cup of urine.
Yeah. Thank you.

I'm sorry, but this is real.
This is real life.

I know this is not ladylike,
but, do you know what?

Sometimes you just need a cup.

(TENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

Jeez, I could use a drink.
(CHUCKLES)

MIKE: Out of 10,
in the nerves scale...

(EXHALES) ..I'm a 12.
I'm a solid 12.

(EXHALES) ..I'm a 12.
I'm a solid 12.

I can't believe this is happening.
This is a...

This is the biggest thing
I've ever done.

I've been a single man for
a long time, and that ends now.

Things are about to get very real.

What if he's, like, really attractive

and then I feel terrible
and disgusting?

There's all this stuff that's
coming up and all these worries

and all these fears that
he won't like me,

and that I'll feel rejected.

I can deal with if I don't like him,

I can deal with if I don't like him,

but I can't deal with
if he doesn't like me.

Best case scenario is if I walk down
the aisle and we're like,

"Yes! Attractiveness!"

I've got nerves
like you wouldn't believe,

but I think I look the part.

I mean, at the very least,
she's not gonna hate what she sees.

Here he comes!

(LAUGHS)

(TENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

He didn't do a runner after all.
(LAUGHS)

He didn't do a runner after all.
(LAUGHS)

I am just trying
to keep a brave face.

Everyone I love and care for
is right there,

along with all of her people.

It's up to the universe now.

How you feeling, Mike?

Bit nervous?
(CLEARS THROAT)

I am just in pieces on the inside.

I am just in pieces on the inside.

And I am moments from turning around

and seeing the girl that could
possibly be my forever girl.

It's terrifying.

You're about to get married.
This is it, babe.

(EXCITED CROSSTALK)

Shut up (INAUDIBLE)! Shut up!
(LAUGHTER)

Let me do...
I'm gonna cry.

Let me do...
I'm gonna cry.

Not of happiness...
Scared.

..but of fear.
Shit scared.

I feel like I'm a bit crazy.
I can't hide it.

I'm just gonna be freaking out.

Are you right, Heids?
I think I'm gonna vomit.

(BELL TOLLS)

(TENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

I can't. Oh, hang on.

You ready?
I think I'm gonna vomit.

No, are you good?

I have so many fears and insecurities
that he won't like me.

I can't believe
this is about to happen.

Are you OK?

Oh, my god.

Holy shit,
have you seen his face yet?

Oh, my god. No.

Ooh.

Oh, hi!
(ALL CHUCKLING)

Hi.

(WHISPERS) He's got no hair!

He's got no hair!

Holy shit.

I hope the experts got this right.

Like, I am praying.

Oh, my god.

This is the weirdest thing
in the whole world.

MAN: Alright, here we go.

It's on.

It's on.

OK.

Oh, my god!

MIKE: There's an internal battle
going on right now.

I don't know what to expect
when I turn around.

This moment has been building
for so long.

I just want to meet the right girl.

(EXHALES)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

(LAUGHS)

All my nerves went away
the second I saw her.

Oh, my god! This is so great. Hello!

She made me feel completely at ease.

Seeing her struggle through that
sand, and she was composed...

(SIGHS)

Just something very sincere
about her that I like.

Hello!

She's just lovely.

I'm a big fan of her already.

I'm a big fan of her already.

Hello, husband.

(LAUGHTER)

Nice to meet you.

Nice to see you.
Oh, you too.

Oh, she's lovely.
Yeah.

Wow, this is so crazy!
It is.

(SIGHS) How do you feel?

Better now.
Oh, good!

You look beautiful.
Oh, thank you!

Oh, you've got a nice voice!

(LAUGHTER)
Thank god.

He's got an amazing voice.

Want me to help you with those?
Oh, what's your name?

I'm Michael. Mike.
(LAUGHS)

What's your name?
Hi, Michael. I'm Heidi.

Hi, Heidi. That's a nice name.
Nice to meet you.

Oh, thank you. Oh...

Oh, thank you. Oh...

I'm feeling so relieved,

and I feel like there's
something there straight away.

Oh, my god. OK.

So, you're gonna marry me.

Yes!
Yeah?

Alright, let's do it.
(LAUGHS)

But I don't want to get too excited.

I feel like, calm it down, sister.

But in my tummy, I'm like, whoo!

I would now like to ask Heidi
and Mike to exchange their vows.

Hello, my husband.

So lovely to meet you.

I hope this is the start of
a wonderful adventure together.

I hope this is the start of
a wonderful adventure together.

Just a little bit about me,
in case you're thinking,

"Who have I married?"

I've got lots of energy, so you'll
always have someone to talk to.

I love the beach and being outside,

so you'll always have sand in
your hair, but you have no...

you don't really have sand
in your hair.

(LAUGHTER)

I'm enthusiastic about life,

and I'm always looking
to try something new.

And today, that new thing is you!

(LAUGHTER)

Thank you for taking a chance on us.

Let's do it.
Yeah!

(APPLAUSE)
That was really good.

Oh, thank you! Thank you.
I liked that.

Oh, thank you! Thank you.
I liked that.

I'm taken aback.

She's got all the elements

that I would look for
and hope for in a woman.

Mike, would you please declare
your vow to Heidi?

I, Michael...
(LAUGHS)

..take you, Heidi, to be my wife.

I know that we haven't met
before now,

but I have imagined this moment
for some time.

To this point, I've been
hesitant and guarded in love.

But I am ready now
to open up to this experience

and be committed with you.

and be committed with you.

Oh, that's nice.

I do hope we develop feelings
for each other

and that those feelings grow
into a beautiful marriage

filled with love,
laughter and happiness.

Oh, that's lovely!
(CHUCKLES)

Oh, that's so nice. Thank you.
Yeah, I'm glad you liked it.

Yeah, that was so good!

He seems ready and he seems open

and he seems, like,
up for the challenge.

I'm excited to get to know him more.

Yeah, I can't wait to get to know
who he actually is as a person

Yeah, I can't wait to get to know
who he actually is as a person

and discover more about him.

Oh, my god! Look!
I'm putting on your wedding ring.

It fits!
It's a good fit!

Oh, wow.
Oh, fancy! You're my husband.

(LAUGHTER)

I think there could be
some real potential here,

and I can't see anything but
good things in the near future.

Mike, you may now kiss
your beautiful bride.

OK, what do you want to do,
because let's talk about it.

No!
(LAUGHTER)

No!
(LAUGHTER)

Oh, that was good!

Tasteful. Oh, that was so good.

(APPLAUSE)
That was good, Michael.

Oh, let's do it, hey?

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

All I can think about is,

"Don't have sex with your husband
on the first night.

"Don't have sex with your husband on
the first night. Don't have sex..."

I'm like, "Don't do it.
Heidi, stop it."

Yep, so that's what's
going through my mind.

What did we just do with ourselves?
You're really cool!

Oh, so are you!
(LAUGHS)

Oh, so are you!
(LAUGHS)

NARRATOR: In Melbourne, reality
is starting to set in for Ning.

Oh, my god. I'm so nervous.

WOMAN: You're nervous?

I've had my heart broken many times,

and that really did break me.

Throughout Ning's life,

she's been abandoned by
important people,

and that's left her with
recurring trust issues.

and that's left her with
recurring trust issues.

I really want a companion.

Someone that won't leave me

just because things aren't going
the way they wanted.

(WOMAN GASPS)
Here I am.

(ALL SQUEAL SOFTLY)
Look at you!

I can't pinpoint what
I'm actually feeling.

I'm just, like, all over the place,

probably worse than being on
a roller-coaster right now.

Meanwhile, Mark's dad has arrived
for the big day...

Meanwhile, Mark's dad has arrived
for the big day...

Hey!

..with a special surprise.

Not quite the same model as
Mum and Dad had, but pretty close.

We've organised similar wedding cars

to the wedding cars my wife and I
had for our wedding 46 years ago.

I think it will be a good omen.
Let's hope so.

So, you and Mum have done alright.

46 years.
Yeah.

Yeah, that's a fair stint.

A good marriage is based on trust,

understanding, and love, of course.

And Mum and I have had some
really good times, actually.

And it's the good times
you remember.

But it's the bad times
that you struggle through,

but make you stronger
and make the marriage stronger,

that's for sure,

if you can battle your way through
and make it,

just like Mum and I have done.

Good advice.

I'm ready for this to happen.

I'm ready for this to happen.

And I'm 100% committed
to making this work.

As I hope she is.

(TENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

Do you think he's been waiting for me
for a long time?

Like, are we late?
No, we're not late. You're nervous.

(EXHALES)

I've had a lot of men disappoint me
in my life.

I've had a lot of men disappoint me
in my life.

So I think I'm always gonna have that
in the back of my mind,

but I'm just hoping that this man
isn't going to be like that.

I'm genuinely hoping from this
experience that we end up together.

And spend hopefully the rest
of our lives together.

That's what I hope.

(TENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

One thing that, you know, I'm
trying to protect myself from is...

abandonment, I guess.

I just have to really, like,
look into myself,

'cause I've lost myself for so long.

So I'm just here to find me.

You deserve it, Ning.

You deserve it, Ning.

You do deserve it, Ning.
You do everything for everyone.

Sorry.

I've never been away from my children
for more than two days.

But I feel...

It's OK.

I feel like I owe myself love.

And for me to love someone else,
I do have to love myself.

And for me to love someone else,
I do have to love myself.

And I feel like I... I...

you know, I'm just not good enough.

Well, I haven't found that one
that loves me enough to keep me.

Or to have me.

It's your time.

You deserve it.

I love you.

(BELL TOLLS)

(SUBDUED MUSIC)

I feel like I owe myself love.

And I just need to heal

and I just need to feel that love
again and what love really is,

and not what I'm comfortable with.

I need to get pushed
out of my comfort zone

and open my heart to this.

MARK: I genuinely hope the woman
today that I meet remains my wife,

and we make it work
and we have a success story.

I'm feeling so nervous.

It's happening.
Stop.

It feels so crazy that
I'm allowing myself to do this,

and to open my heart, and I just
don't want to get hurt again.

Unbelievable. I'm just blown away.

I thought, "Wow, she's really,
really attractive."

Hello.
Hello.

Mark.
Ning. How are you?

Nice to meet you. Let's do this.

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

(LAUGHS)
Not to meet you.

Like, not to get married,
none of this,

just for the food.

OK.
I'm just here for the food.

Oh, dear.

He is a little bit older than,
like, the men that I go for,

but I was attracted to his eyes,
he's got a head of hair,

and he is tall.

Oh, my god. This is so crazy.
(LAUGHTER)

I knew very, very quickly
Ning was obviously very nervous.

She was fidgeting around,
looking all over the place.

She was fidgeting around,
looking all over the place.

Yay!
(LAUGHTER)

We made it!

I was a bit worried you weren't
showing up there for a while.

Well, I was gonna turn around, but,
like, the limo was, like, too big.

So it's like, he didn't know
how to drive properly, so...

(LAUGHTER)

Ning definitely did try to make
a number of jokes.

She was obviously a bit awkward.

It's been a long day, OK?
Already?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you
didn't have to get up at 5:00.

Hmm...

You didn't have to do
hair and make-up.

You didn't have to do
hair and make-up.

Oh, I still had to do my hair.

At least you've got hair,
so that's good.

(LAUGHTER)

Shh! I don't think
I was supposed to say that.

That's what I do
when I get a bit nervous.

All this rubbish just comes out
without actually thinking about it.

I knew she was gonna say it.

I'm sorry! I can't help it!

I feel like I just make jokes
of situations

because I am uncomfortable.

It just happened.

That word vomit, it just comes out,
like, I just can't control it.

That word vomit, it just comes out,
like, I just can't control it.

Like, hair on top. Oh, lord.

I wanted to let her know
that I was all about her,

and that I was looking at her,

trying to reassure her
through my body language.

I'm just gonna pretend that
it's nice and warm, like...

(SHIVERS)

No, that's even worse!

(LAUGHS)

Any excuse to touch me, jeez!

I could hear what's coming out
of my mouth, and it's horrible.

I could hear what's coming out
of my mouth, and it's horrible.

But I just can't help myself.

He just wanted to touch me,
I'm like, "Oh..."

Early stages suggest that
Ning's not very good at comedy.

Her delivery's not great.

That was the most romantic thing
I've ever done for anyone.

Oh, that's pretty nice. OK.

You've ruined my big moment.
Sorry.

(LAUGHTER)

Sorry.

It's what I do. It feels safer

pushing someone away
before they can hurt me.

It's like self-sabotage.

Sorry, can I just hold your hand,
'cause I'm, like, really cold.

Yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah.
(LAUGHS)

Ning was obviously very nervous.

But there was always gonna be some
awkward banter to start with.

Hopefully once the nerves calm,
the jokes will get better.

MAN: Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen.

Our bride and groom
have invited you here today

as they join hands in marriage
and become husband and wife.

Now, our couple have carefully
constructed their own vows

and wish to make their commitment
in front of you all here today.

and wish to make their commitment
in front of you all here today.

OK. I vow to take you as you are
today, standing in front of me.

I give you my heart, my mind,
and my crazy spirit.

Sometimes I speak before I think,
and sometimes things come out wrong.

(LAUGHTER)

In my life so far,
I have done everything backwards,

but I hope I can move forwards
with you by my side.

Ta.
(APPLAUSE)

The vows were quite well written,

so I could tell that
they were from the heart.

Yeah, signs are pretty good so far.

Yeah, signs are pretty good so far.

Dear Ning, at 41, being single,

having never previously been
married and having no children,

it's clear that
I'm no relationship expert.

Even though I've given 100% to the
women I've ever been involved with,

I've never used or said the L word

to anyone in my life
outside of my family.

(TENSE MUSIC)

He's never used the L word?

I'm thinking, and that's scary.

I'm thinking, and that's scary.

It sort of put my guards up a
little bit, put my walls up a bit.

This may somewhat concern you.

I believe that love is when
you are completely yourself

around your partner
and they accept that.

To me, love is being
completely vulnerable.

To be honest and open about
everything they hold inside,

and to want to share
every opportunity with.

I'm genuinely invested
in this process,

and I promise that one day,
if the feeling is there,

and I promise that one day,
if the feeling is there,

I'll use the word 'love'
for the first time with you.

(APPLAUSE)

Whatever the future holds,
it will be together.

It gives me great pleasure to
pronounce you husband and wife.

Mark, you may kiss your bride.

(APPLAUSE)

(ALL CHEERING)

I have three children,
which he doesn't know about yet,

and his vows just make me think
that he's not ready for that.

and his vows just make me think
that he's not ready for that.

Why hasn't he been in love before?

He hasn't committed to anyone,
like, even long-term,

and he doesn't even know
what love is.

I don't want to waste any more time

with a man that has
commitment issues.

This is a big red flag for me.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

It's just an awkward situation.
WOMEN: Yeah.

And I'm stuck.

..Ning makes a meal
of their marriage.

Oh, no, if I'm not keen on you,
I'm just gonna block you.

I don't know at this stage
whether she even likes me.

I don't know at this stage
whether she even likes me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(BELL TOLLS)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: In Byron Bay,

newlyweds Heidi and Mike
are getting better acquainted.

Oh, nice. That's lovely, guys.

Just hold that,
hold that, hold that.

TRISHA: Most couples will know
within the first 90 seconds

if they are attracted to each other.

For both Heidi and Mike, a strong
physical attraction is important.

For both Heidi and Mike, a strong
physical attraction is important.

But the challenge for both of them

will be to grow a deeper
emotional connection.

OK, a little kiss from there,
please, guys.

(MIKE CHUCKLES)

Honestly, I can't fault this lady.

I think we've just got
a nice synergy,

and things are flowing well.

Gosh, you guys are so good at this!
(HEIDI GIGGLES)

Lots of kissing, which is good.

She's got nice soft lips.

Good technique. (LAUGHS)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Beautiful. Beautiful.

This is so funny.

This is so funny.

You know, it's weird, 'cause for me,
it doesn't feel weird.

Which is weird. Don't you think?
(CHUCKLES) I do.

It's good.
Yeah, it's really good!

Thank god. Thank god.

I already feel like
he's so easy to talk to.

Like, I'm really excited,
but then I have to go,

"Just calm yourself down,"

but I am excited, yep.

Well...

This is so... (LAUGHS)

So modest! So modest.
I know.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, in Melbourne,

straight-shooting Ning
has some serious reservations

about her new husband, Mark.

And, looking up. Yep, that's fine.

It does bother me that
he's never used the L word.

You know in your vows,
how you said to me, like, you know,

you haven't said the L word.
So you've never...

No. Never have.

Never?
Never have.

It makes me worried
that he has commitment issues.

It makes me worried
that he has commitment issues.

I don't want to waste time
on someone else that's,

you know, just going to leave me.

I've been in relationships
for about 4, maybe 4.5 years.

After a year, and if there's no love,
why did you continue?

There are some doubts there.

And give me a nice, gentle smile.

Because of my past,
I need to protect myself.

So I do push men away
before they can hurt me.

(ELECTRO-POP MUSIC)

(ELECTRO-POP MUSIC)

Back in Byron Bay, Heidi and Mike's
reception is getting underway.

MAN: Ladies and gentlemen,

could we have a big round of
applause for the bride and groom,

Mike and Heidi.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

MIKE: I'm getting a good feeling
from Heidi.

She has just a nice outlook
that really suits me.

We're in alignment,
I think, at this point.

We're in alignment,
I think, at this point.

Oh, sorry, this just gets everywhere.

How are you, mate?
How are ya? Good to see you.

It's full-on having your first date

in front of all your family
and friends.

And you're meant to kind of see
if you like each other

and be into it,
do you know what I mean?

I just want to know everything
about him and just find out more.

Thanks. I can't even see yours.

I'm trying to get a look at yours,
like, I'm trying to get a look at you

but I can't even see...
It doesn't show much off, does it?

I can't. Suits are bullshit,
'cause you can't see.

Yeah, yeah.
You're not gonna hate what you see.

(LAUGHS) There it is again.

(LAUGHS) There it is again.

Hilarious. Obviously he's got a mouth
like mine, which you can't filter,

so it makes me think that
we've got lots in common,

so we've got a good base
to work from.

I feel like I've got 50 million
questions to ask you,

but I don't even know where to start.

I move around a little bit,
you know, I go travelling a lot.

Like, I'll go away for the weekend
or a week just out of nowhere.

I'm exactly the same.
I never want to stop exploring,

but I still want a base.

I need to always move.
Let's just do that.

I need to always move.
Let's just do that.

Yeah. OK, great!
Let's go.

Aw, you guys are having
too much fun.

(BOTH LAUGH)

OK, done. Done.

So, I love that he likes going
travelling. That's great!

Because I just like going at,
you know, the spur of the moment,

and sometimes I have changed in a
relationship to fit in with them,

and I don't want to do that anymore.
I just want to be me.

Are you glad you got me?

I really am. I really am.
(CHUCKLES)

I'm glad I got you.
Oh, I'm so glad.

Do you want to stay at my place
tonight?

Do you want to stay at my place
tonight?

You're staying at my place tonight.

(LAUGHS) You're taking me home,
are ya?

Yeah, you are.
Really. You've pulled.

Bit early to predict intimacy
tonight.

Don't want to get ahead of myself.

But there's definitely
chemistry there.

But there's three bedrooms,
just so you know.

In your... Oh! In your house?
Yeah. In my house. Yep.

(LAUGHS) We're gonna have
so much fun.

It's so funny.
This is easy.

I know!
I think this could be a good thing.

It's crazy.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

(GENTLE MUSIC)

MAN: Mark and Ning.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Hello!

I think he's supposed to
pull out my chair.

We know that Ning often uses humour
as a technique to help her cope

in tense or stressful situations.

OK, push it in. Push it in.

(LAUGHTER)
Yep, that's nice.

But when this is coupled with
a lack of trust,

innocent humour can come across
as abrasive and unkind.

innocent humour can come across
as abrasive and unkind.

It was just...
It's just an awkward situation.

WOMEN: Yeah, yeah.

And, um... And I can't block him.

Like, I can't block him and
I can't delete him and I can't...

WOMAN: Yeah, you're stuck.
I'm stuck.

I was sort of hoping there would be
an initial spark,

but I don't know at this stage
whether she even likes me.

And whether she is just nervous.

I was just saying, like, I can't,
like, block you off any social media.

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

I think I'm making these jokes
because I'm shit scared,

and, yeah,
I am trying to protect myself.

That's what I do, like,
I block people out of my life.

Like, oh, no, if I'm not keen on you,
I'm just gonna block you.

I know I should be letting my walls
down and giving him a chance,

but it's what I do.

I scare men off because
I'm afraid of getting hurt.

So, who is your immediate family
here?

I don't actually have family. Like...
Oh, OK.

We are her family.
Yeah, these are my family.

We are family.
# We are... #

No, don't sing. Please don't sing
at all, the whole, like...

No, don't sing. Please don't sing
at all, the whole, like...

Ever.
Like, just don't, at all.

No, no, she was only making fun.
(LAUGHS AWKWARDLY)

I think someone like Mark

is someone who's actually
going to be good for her.

But I didn't think it was a joke,
that was the...

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little bit
worried that she's gonna spoil this.

Ning. Ning. Ning.

Zip it.
Sorry. OK.

She needs to settle herself.

Not how I would like to feel
in my wedding, no.

(BELL TOLLS)

NARRATOR: In Byron Bay,

even the rain can't dampen
Heidi and Mike's spirits.

This is so funny.
Yeah.

Like, it's kind of like
we're on a first date.

Little bit. Little bit.

Would you go on a second date
with me if this was a date?

I totally would.
Would you?

Yeah! Of course I would.
I'd date you for sure. (LAUGHS)

Of course!
And here we are married.

Of course!
And here we are married.

(LAUGHS) I know. How convenient.

I know!

It's a little bit electric.
It's very electric.

The chemistry is definitely there.
They're very into each other. Mmm.

Hi!

I think it's a brilliant match.

I think it's a great beginning
for them.

How can you not
fall in love with her?

I know, she's amazing.

Just go.
No, I can't.

I need two people to help me.
Oh, OK.

I need two people to help me.
Oh, OK.

We've got a situation.

I don't even want to know
what that is.

Have you got a funnel or something?

You don't want to know.
Well, we...

No, Johsi!
No, no. Don't go into detail.

I'm just saying, that would've...
It's not a funnel.

I'm so embarrassed,
but I can't do anything.

My skirt's too restrictive!

How about in here?
(INAUDIBLE)

That's not big enough!
Whoo!

I've got the best bridesmaids.
(LAUGHS)

They're really going far and beyond
their expectations.

You look happy, man.
You look really happy.

Do I?
Yeah, yeah.

I am. I'm really... She's amazing.

She seems really outgoing,
and I love her positive energy.

She's just lovely.

(ALL SHRIEKING)

She's so gorgeous.
Yeah, she's lovely, hey?

Yeah! Really, really lovely.

I was only just thinking about how
it could have been really awkward

and uncomfortable and difficult
if you didn't have that chemistry.

(HEIDI SHRIEKS)

Oh, my god!
Done.

(LAUGHTER)

OK, good.

OK, let's go.

(LAUGHS)

Sorry.

NARRATOR: After a less than perfect
start to their wedding day,

NARRATOR: After a less than perfect
start to their wedding day,

both Ning and Mark are seeking
guidance from their friends.

MAN: How you feeling?

I feel that the first impressions...

aren't great.

I think she was pretty nervous.

100%. 100%. Yeah, yeah.

Very nervous.

So, first impressions?

Well, it has been awkward.
Oh, OK.

Well, it has been awkward.
Oh, OK.

And really, like,
pushed through that a little bit.

Mmm.
I don't know.

Maybe just be careful about the...

Word vomit.
Sometimes the...

The word vomit.
Yeah.

Just control when you're doing it.

Ning was being hard on Mark
to begin with,

and probably said a few things
she wasn't really meaning to say.

You're turning your back to him
a fair bit.

So you just need to be
cautious of that,

because otherwise he might think
that you're cutting him off,

so, just be cautious of it.

so, just be cautious of it.

Eye contact.
Yep.

Today has been so overwhelming.

I feel like I don't let anyone
come in because I've just,

you know,
I just don't want to get hurt again.

So, what do you think about Mark?

He... I get the feeling
he's gonna look after you.

And I actually think he comes across

like such a nice, genuine guy.
Genuine. Yep.

That made my mind sort of stop
thinking and over-analysing.

It is a big thing for me
to trust men.

It is a big thing for me
to trust men.

It's not fair for him that
he's putting all this effort in

and I'm just pushing him away.

The hard part's done. Now you've
just gotta get to know each other.

Yep. And just enjoy it.

I want to shove all my insecurities
and my past and everything

right down into my soul

and give this guy a chance.

(SUBDUED PIANO MUSIC)

I'm gonna cry again. Um...

I have such beautiful friends

that always says how much I deserve
someone so much better than my past,

that always says how much I deserve
someone so much better than my past,

and I've never thought that I did.

I just felt like I didn't deserve,
like, any better than what I've had.

(SIGHS AND SNIFFS)

(BELL TOLLS)

NARRATOR: After spending her wedding
day trying to sabotage her marriage,

Ning has finally had
a change of heart.

NING: My bridesmaids,

they want me to be a little bit
nicer towards Mark,

you know, to make sure that
this works for both of us.

I don't want to feel like
I've failed this relationship,

another relationship,

and I'm gonna try my hardest
to not do that.

What a day.

What a day.

Can you believe this happened today?

No. No, I can't.

It did happen. I'm gonna wake up
soon or something, but...

No, it's been a really good day.

I can't wait to meet everyone.
Where's your family?

So, Dad, front right.

That's where I get my grey from.

Mum right next to him.

For the first time,
she seemed genuine

in her efforts
to make an effort with me.

It was almost like
all of the pressures

It was almost like
all of the pressures

and all of the nerves had finished.

Finally feels like
something has changed.

I think once those walls come down,
Ning is a very, very caring person,

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

WOMAN: Cheers.
Cheers.

We're gonna get straight down to
the fun part of the night,

which are the speeches.

Please put your hands together
for Mark.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

To my new wife,
we are about to embark on

an exciting yet daunting
journey together.

We are now a team,

and I am just as much a part
of this experiment as you are,

and I promise you that
I'll be there to support you

every step of the way.

I feel like he's putting
all his energy into these words,

and I feel like they're real.

Lastly, to my family...

Are you... Are you gonna cry?

(LAUGHTER)

What can I say? Words aren't enough.

Aw.

This is not the way, I guess,

you anticipated your only son
would be married.

However, as always, you stand by me
and allow me to be myself.

Thank you for everything
you've ever done for me.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Mark's speech, it just blew me away,

like, it's beautiful to see
a man have any emotion.

That's really attractive to me.

That's really attractive to me.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I think I'm growing to like him.

Are you OK?

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Family means a lot to me.

And the fact that Ning
approached my mum was massive.

We can just cry together.
We can.

We can just cry together.

It really meant a lot to me.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MAN: I'd like to now call on Michael
to conduct his speech.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

MIKE: My dad was concerned
that I wasn't ready to be,

you know, a married man.

But I did not expect to
meet a girl like Heidi.

There's every chance that I could
fall in love with this girl.

Heidi, this is an unusual situation
that we find ourselves in.

And it is my hope
that we support each other

And it is my hope
that we support each other

throughout this experience
and beyond.

HEIDI: Yeah,
I can totally see a future.

But it's day one.

This could be the beginning of...

I was gonna say
"of a beautiful friendship",

but I'm not gonna kiss my friend
like that, no. (LAUGHS)

To my dad.

We have shared much
through our years,

and you've taught me lessons that
you may not have even known you had.

Most importantly, you have shown me
how to treat a lady.

Today I have met a beautiful girl.

And I want to show you how
the example you have set

will allow me to be as gentle
and kind to her

as you have always been to my mother
for more than 50 years.

I think Michael, you know,

has got a wonderful opportunity
there with her.

He is everything somebody
would want for a husband,

he's just never found
the right girl.

So, a toast, to Heidi.

(ALL CHEERING)

So, I am really hoping that
he does make a success of this.

ALL: Kiss, kiss, kiss,
kiss, kiss, kiss!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

At this moment,
I have nothing but optimism,

and I'll do everything I can
to make this work.

As soon as I saw him,
I felt relieved.

And as soon as he started talking,
and he has such good manners.

Like, a real gentleman, yeah.

And that's so lovely.

And that's so lovely.

I think between the two of us,

we're gonna have a lot of fun,
a lot of adventures.

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

And the world is ours.

That was so good.
Oh, that was great!

Whoo-hoo!

NARRATOR: With Ning and Mark
finally in a positive place,

there's still one very important
conversation they need to have.

Boo!
Lot of energy.

Sorry to interrupt.

But do you think that you can
come for a bit of a chat?

Yeah.
Yep.

I think this is going to be
a big shock for Mark.

He became a husband today,

and maybe he's gonna be a stepdad
to three children.

Like, it's a big, big deal.

OK.

Oh, hello.

Are you sure you're not cold?
Nah, no.

So, are you having a good night?

It's been a really good day.
And then night. Yeah.

I think it's gone a lot better
as the day goes on.

I think it's gone a lot better
as the day goes on.

We've become a bit more comfortable
with each other.

Or maybe we've had too many
of these, I don't know.

Maybe we've had too many of these.

I do want someone just for me,

but I don't come as one.

So, obviously I didn't really
get to talk to you much,

I think 'cause, I don't know,
it just was a big night, big day.

Mark has to be accepting
of my children.

(INHALES DEEPLY) OK.

(TENSE MUSIC)

I don't know how he's gonna take it.

I don't know how he's gonna take it.

(BELL TOLLS)

(TENSE MUSIC)

NARRATOR: In Melbourne,

the wedding day
is drawing to a close.

But Ning still needs to break
some important news to Mark.

(INHALES DEEPLY) OK.

(TENSE MUSIC)

So, um, you know, it is important
to know more about me.

I am a mum.

I have three.

OK. Um...

For me, you having kids is not...

I don't want to downplay it...

but it isn't a big deal.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

I just feel like a big weight
has been lifted.

Yeah. Um, it's probably something
we'll have to think about

and talk about later,
as we develop.

and talk about later,
as we develop.

Develop.

I know people around my age bracket
are gonna have some form of history,

whether that's marriage, children,

it's something that's part of
her life, and I'll embrace it

as part of everything else
that she has in her life.

I'm 100% committed to this
experiment. I really am.

And I'm not gonna walk away...
at all.

Well, that's good.
Yeah.

I think I needed to hear that.

It was good.
It was good to have that,

and I feel like there's a bit of...

and I feel like there's a bit of...

I guess clarification
about who he is now,

and he's genuine,
and that's what I want.

I just can't wait to go
on this journey with you.

Yeah. Same. Cheers.
So, cheers. We're married.

I could definitely see, like,
a potential with Mark.

I'm opening a little bit
of myself to him,

and, you know, no matter how much
I joke, you know, I do have a heart,

and I know that I'm in this
for the right reason.

And I know he is too.

And I know he is too.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

Thank you.

She is a lot of fun,
a lot of energy.

Just lift me up now. Just lift me up.

Never, never a dull moment.

(ALL CHEERING)
(LAUGHS)

I think once those walls come down,
Ning is a very, very caring person.

I've really felt there's been
a connection formed.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

And that's why I'm excited about it.

(SOFT MUSIC)

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

WOMAN: Bye!

NARRATOR: After an eventful day...

MIKE: Well, this is good.

We're married.
HEIDI: I know.

..our new couples head back

to spend their first night together
as husband and wife.

I've been enjoying
grabbing your leg...meat.

Yep, I've been enjoying
you grabbing it too.

Yep, I've been enjoying
you grabbing it too.

Your leg skin.

I know. Sorry I haven't
got much to show you.

Sorry you can't show me much yet.
I know.

(LAUGHS)

NING: Please don't hit my head
on the door.

It's been a huge day,
both physically and emotionally.

It's been a roller-coaster.

Where are you taking me?

I'm taking you to the bed.
Are you taking me to bed?

I think this is gonna be
a slow burn,

but there's enough there already

to know that it's something
to look forward to for sure, yeah.

So, all the make-up's off...
Mm-hm.

So, all the make-up's off...
Mm-hm.

..and this is what I look like.

I don't think you look
any different.

Actually, you look better.
Well, wait till the...

How do you look better
without make-up?

You look natural.

I'll take that.
That's a point for you.

Mark's definitely a gentleman.

We're just going, you know, slowly,

and we'll see how it goes from here.

(SENSUAL JAZZ MUSIC)

HEIDI: Oh!
MIKE: God, you've got smooth thighs.

Oh...
I'm gonna get in there close.

Oh!
Boy, oh, boy.

Oh!
Boy, oh, boy.

Oh...
Yeah.

Oh...
Well, I can see...

(SIGHS)
There was a lot of...

It was holding a lot of tension
in here.

There's lots of relief.

So excited to get this dress off,
you have no idea.

Yeah, me too.
Oh. (LAUGHS)

I had such a good day today.

I'm very pleased with
what the experts have delivered.

Perfect.
Oh, my god, you're amazing.

Thank you so much. Yay!

Well, anytime I can take your dress
off, you just let me know, OK?

Oh, that's great, OK. (CHUCKLES)

Yeah, the attraction
is definitely there.

Yeah, the attraction
is definitely there.

But I've got really good
self-control. (LAUGHS)

You're so nice.

Hence me touching your bare chest,

and I've just known you
for 12 hours or something.

Yep, that's great.

You know that feeling when you just
want to grab a girl and kiss her

and there's just no inhibitions.

I've waited a long time to have
a girl that I really care about.

I've held back for a long time,

and I feel like I don't
have to do it with Heidi.

and I feel like I don't
have to do it with Heidi.

(SOFT MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Tomorrow night...
(BOTH SHRIEK)

..the first wave of honeymoons
begins.

I'm so happy right now.

(SQUEALS)

In the quest for
a happily ever after...

That feels nice.

Does it?
Yeah.

..passions will boil over...

Are you in this for love,
or are you on it for Instagram?

..as bonds are tested.

..as bonds are tested.

Just come to the point
a little quicker, that's all.

But when you've only just met...

Look, I'm not your therapist.

This isn't therapy.

..honesty isn't always
the smartest choice.

But this is how you get to be
44 and single.
