WATCH: Married at First Sight has its very first same-sex wedding. Story continues below…
Steve
Steve, 52, VIC
This groom is ready to break his habit of dating younger women. “It’s just who I’ve been meeting,” he says. Guess they can’t get enough of his silver fox looks! “I don’t know about that – but I’m ready to change,” he admits.
Tash
Tash, 31, SA
“I’ve cheated in the past, but it taught me radical honesty is the best policy,” says the bartender, who has been paired with fellow bride Amanda. “If I wanted to cheat on a partner again – unlikely – I’d end my relationship first.” Good to know!
Poppy
Poppy, 38, NSW
Love dramas are nothing new for this mum-of-two. Not only did she almost go full runaway bride after freaking out at her wedding to Luke, she’s also been “reverse catfished”.
“My date was so much hotter than his pics,” she tells us. Lucky!
Natasha
Natahsa, 26, NSW
She’s just married Mikey on TV, but this financial analyst is used to dating a well-known guy – her ex is Eden Dally! “He’s going to be an amazing dad,” she says of the Love Island star, who’s expecting a son with 2019 MAFS bride Cyrell Paule.
Mikey
Mikey, 29, NSW
His bride Natasha is a strong and successful woman, and so is his Instagram influencer ex Katie Williams. “We broke up because it hadn’t been working for months,” says the operations manager. Got a type, hon?!
Chris
Chris, 37, SA
He says he finds bride Vanessa “beautiful without her make-up on”. But despite that attraction, he’s wary of their relationship getting stuck in the friend zone. “I hope this leads to love,” the youth worker says.
Luke
Luke, 39, VIC
Despite his initial connection with bride Poppy, her wedding day jitters lead this dad-of-two to fear he’d be dumped on his wedding day! “I understand her second thoughts, but it was hard,” he admits.
Mishel
Mishel, 48, QLD
“I’ve been cheated on in seven relationships,” the mum-of-two blasts. “I’m over it.” Here’s hoping her groom doesn’t have a wandering eye! “I won’t stand for it,” she warns, adding that she regrets giving her exes a second chance.
Connie
Connie, 27, VIC
Despite the fact the aspiring marine biologist wants someone “with smarts”, she admits her groom’s “hot, melting smile” gave her the feels when she met him, too. “I couldn’t believe my luck when I first saw him,” she tells.
Josh
Josh, 28, NSW
“I hope my bride is ready to start a family – ASAP,” tells truck driver Josh, who wed Cathy on MAFS this week.
“I’ve wanted kids since I was 13 years old and can’t wait to start a family.” Whoa there, keen bean! But Josh asserts he “wants to be a young and fun dad”. Aww!
Jonethen
Jonethen, 27, QLD
This groom admits his fly-in, fly-out job has made it hard for him to commit in previous relationships. “But I’m looking to change,” he says. “I’m determined to make my marriage work.” Fingers crossed!
Hayley
Hayley, 32, VIC
If Hayley’s groom David turns out to be a couch potato, she’ll be showing him the door. “I don’t do slobs,” the finance broker tells. He should match her in bed, too! “I’m a 9/10 sexually. It’s vital to connect with a partner mentally and physically.”
Cathy
Cathy, 27, NSW
After being cheated on by an ex, and moving out the same day, Cathy says finding love (hopefully with Josh) will be the best kind of revenge. “It was a really tough time,” the logistics investigator admits. “But now I’m
back better than ever!”
Ivan
Ivan, 30, NSW
This groom is looking for a bride who has “nice eyes and a warm smile”, and says “kindness, empathy, loyalty and self-control” are vital, too. Deal breakers for this real estate agent? “Cheating is the worst,” he blasts. Got it!
Aleks
Aleks, 27, WA
All her friends are getting married, and have been for the past few years, causing the real estate agent to worry she’s passed her used by date. Hardly! “My ex wouldn’t commit,” she explains. “But I’m ready to meet my forever guy.”
Amanda
Amanda, 34, VIC
Just because she tells it like it is, doesn’t mean she’s difficult, strength coach Amanda says! “On camera I might look pushy, but that’s not the case. I’m a bloody good person,” she insists. Here’s hoping she can make it work with Tash.
