Groom Jake is a 30-year-old PE teacher from Western Australia who is a self-confessed “big kid at heart” and is often that person wearing a “funky shirt.” 

Jake is a relationship man, with one lasting ten years and another relationship lasting three, plus a called-off engagement. Unfortunately, the participants admits his lack of communication skills may be the problem.

“I’m now 30… There’s things I want in life,” he told relationship expert John Aiken. “I love, love. I want to give that to a partner.”

“I’m getting on, I want kids.”

He has been matched with Ashleigh, a 34-year-old Dance Studio Owner from Queensland, hoping to find someone to start a family with. 

“It’s really important that my husband does love children,” she confessed. “Children are such a big part of my life, and now that I’m 34, I don’t have [time] on my side.”

Describing herself as playful, caring and a “big kid,” Ashleigh may just be the perfect match for Jake. 

“This could be the greatest love story anyone’s ever bloody seen,” she said on the way to the ceremony. “I might knock Jules and Cam out of the water – imagine that!” 

There were some slight hair malfunctions from Jake, and an awkward case of mistaken identity as Jake confused the bridesmaid for his MAFS wife. 

But the groom’s attention was swiftly moved when he saw Ashleigh donned in white walk down the aisle, in love with her smile.

It was all smooth sailing for Ash and Jake, until the Photo Ranking Challenge where the groom made some comments regarding the other wives appearances.

Ash sought advice in her fellow MAFS participants. However, feeling betrayed, Jake ultimately wrote ‘leave’ during the first commitment ceremony, while , Ash wrote ‘stay’ – forcing the couple to remain in the experiment.

Following the commitment ceremony, Jake stayed in a separate apartment, only returning the next morning to pack his bags.

“I’m packing. I’m going,” he said.

In his decision to “break the rules,” Ash was also forced to exit the MAFS experiment.
