MAFSโ€˜ 10th season kicks off with the wedding of Bronte, an online beauty educator from WA.

Bronte is 28 and has never had โ€œthat big love storyโ€.

She tells TV WEEK she felt โ€œso lost, so confusedโ€ in her early twenties, and was hurt โ€œmany timesโ€ by men she was dating.

โ€œIโ€™ve admitted to letting guys walk all over me because I didnโ€™t know my worth,โ€ she says.

In recent years, Bronte says, sheโ€™s done all her โ€œhealingโ€.

She goes into her MAFS wedding ready to find love, and is thrilled with her groom when she walks up the aisle to meet him.

โ€œThere was instant chemistry,โ€ she says.

โ€œIt was like there was nobody else in the room. It was everything Iโ€™d hoped for.โ€

But at the reception, Bronteโ€™s friend Jess โ€“ who viewers may recognise from another of this yearโ€™s reality shows, The Bachelors โ€“ pulls her aside. Jess has something to tell her about her new husband, and thereโ€™s photographic evidence on Jessโ€™ phone.

โ€œAs soon as I saw what was on that phone, my heart sank,โ€ Bronte says.

โ€œI could not have been more upset. That sadness quickly turned into anger.โ€

She says she felt like ending the marriage right there at the reception.

โ€œEvery fibre of my being wanted to leg it,โ€ she remembers.

โ€œMy mum was crying on my wedding day. She was so devastated for me. I didnโ€™t even get to eat my cake.โ€

As furious as she was with her new groom at the reception, Bronte also found herself questioning Jessโ€™ motives in dropping the bombshell the way she did.

โ€œLook, itโ€™s one of those things where I want to believe she did it with pure intentions,โ€ she says. โ€œBut the fact is, she didnโ€™t have to get miked up to tell me that.โ€

Have the experts gotten this match right?

As if the wedding day drama wasnโ€™t huge enough, thereโ€™s more to come.

Not long after the wedding, Bronte finds out something about Jess that makes her view the whole bombshell situation a little differently.

โ€œWe are no longer friends,โ€ Bronte reveals.
