FunTranscript
00:00:00Previously, the bucks and hens kicked off our singles quest for love.
00:00:07I'm just excited to see her walking down the aisle and hopefully find true love.
00:00:13Then our first two couples married at first sight.
00:00:18Wow, I must have died and gone to heaven.
00:00:20And as Celine and Anthony's fairy tale began,
00:00:23I can see Anthony and I building a future, building a family together.
00:00:26This could be it.
00:00:27Our most demanding bride ever...
00:00:30Average just isn't for me.
00:00:31Saw Tamara...
00:00:32You go first, please.
00:00:33You're losing your room.
00:00:34My way has to be the right way.
00:00:36Turn into Brent's worst nightmare.
00:00:38I think tonight's going really well.
00:00:40And by well, I mean, my wife's a psychopath.
00:00:44But it wasn't long before her fiery side...
00:00:47She's very strong-willed and I like that.
00:00:49Warmed Brent's heart.
00:00:51Come on, my lovely wife.
00:00:52She's a beautiful girl and I am up for this challenge.
00:00:56Tonight...
00:00:57I'm a divorced woman.
00:00:59I don't want to fail again.
00:01:00A bride's second chance at love.
00:01:02I have so much love to give and I want to be loved.
00:01:06But could a painful confession...
00:01:08I'm sitting at the dinner table with this big thing hanging over me.
00:01:11Jeopardise it all.
00:01:12You have to tell them this huge thing.
00:01:15How do you think he's going to react?
00:01:18Plus...
00:01:19What makes you think this is going to be different?
00:01:21Well, you're meant to be the expert.
00:01:24The most sceptical groom...
00:01:26Maybe I just don't believe the experts are as good as what they say.
00:01:29The experiments ever seen.
00:01:31I'd love for them to prove me wrong.
00:01:33But I'll be surprised if I turn around and see my dream woman.
00:01:46In Sydney, Tamara is waking up a married woman.
00:01:50While her new husband Brent is waking up...
00:01:55To a new reality.
00:01:59My wife is a handful.
00:02:01Like she's very loud.
00:02:04She's the loudest human being on earth.
00:02:09Brent's got his work cut out for him.
00:02:12I don't know if I'm the easiest wife yet.
00:02:15But that's fine.
00:02:16He's not easy either.
00:02:17I think he'll be a pain in the arse.
00:02:20Morning, cupcake.
00:02:21Morning.
00:02:24Oh, what are we working with?
00:02:25It's disgusting.
00:02:28At the wedding, we did have that argument over the knife being upside down.
00:02:33When I cut the cake, because he passed it to me that way.
00:02:36Like I tried to ask him to just say sorry yesterday.
00:02:38Because even if he didn't mean it, it would make me feel better.
00:02:40But he said...
00:02:42Oh no.
00:02:44No, no.
00:02:45I am not going to apologise for that.
00:02:47I still think the knife was completely the right way.
00:02:50Regardless, I'm not going to be forced to say sorry over something like that.
00:02:54Cheers.
00:02:54We're married.
00:02:5632nd, yeah.
00:02:57I think me and Tamara are at a level where it's slightly friendly.
00:03:04I don't know where we're going today.
00:03:05I can't wait.
00:03:07You can't wait to just be with me for the rest of eternity?
00:03:11Obviously.
00:03:13Clearly.
00:03:14I woke up and I was like, guys, I can't wait to see her again.
00:03:20Don't be sarcastic.
00:03:23I was being serious.
00:03:24Okay.
00:03:25I think there's a bit of sexual chemistry.
00:03:28I think once we get past the fighting, it's going to turn into severe sexual chemistry.
00:03:32That's my prediction.
00:03:40And while Tamara develops a taste for married life,
00:03:44Celine's lost her appetite.
00:03:46Are you going to feed me?
00:03:48Yeah.
00:03:49Do you not want to be fed?
00:03:52No.
00:03:53After a fairytale wedding,
00:03:55single mum Celine is coming to terms with the reality of marrying a stranger.
00:04:00Well, here you go.
00:04:04You're giving me the big pieces.
00:04:07To be honest, when I woke up this morning, I thought I was by myself.
00:04:10So seeing movement on the other side and a couple of noises,
00:04:14I was like, what is going on?
00:04:15Who is that?
00:04:15And then I thought, oh my God, I married him.
00:04:18Want to do the airplane?
00:04:20No.
00:04:22You don't want that?
00:04:23I'm not a baby.
00:04:24I can do it myself.
00:04:26To be honest, I don't know what to do.
00:04:28You know, I haven't been dating for a long time.
00:04:30I've been single for three years.
00:04:31I'm not used to being fed.
00:04:33I've said I've always wanted that old school gentleman.
00:04:35That hasn't changed.
00:04:36But now I'm receiving that.
00:04:39I am starting to feel the intensity for sure.
00:04:41Like it is full on.
00:04:43I don't think Celine's used to all the attention.
00:04:45I feel there's a little bit of trepidation there, a little bit.
00:04:50The only way I can sort of reassure and make her feel relaxed is I can only be me.
00:04:53I can't be anybody else.
00:04:55Anthony is still going to be Anthony.
00:04:59Following months of intense psychological testing and data analysis,
00:05:04our experts have been busy pairing this year's participants.
00:05:08Our experts have been busy pairing this year's participants.
00:05:12And now the moment has come where they will unveil the next two couples to enter the experiment.
00:05:20Well, I'd love to talk about Dominika and Jack.
00:05:23What I love about these guys is that they are very kind and authentic and warm.
00:05:29Dominika, of course, has taken a really brave step.
00:05:33She was married for a very short period of time.
00:05:36She's faced a lot of judgment and a lot of criticism.
00:05:38So there's a vulnerability there.
00:05:40And I think for Jack, he's very much a person who's going to be able to
00:05:46be there for her through thick and thin.
00:05:49He's not running away.
00:05:50And he is loyal as the day is long.
00:05:52I've got to say, I'm going to call it.
00:05:54This would be my favourite couple this season.
00:05:57You know, they've got so much in common.
00:05:59And I love the energy.
00:06:03Mum, OK, can you get dad in shot?
00:06:05Can you see me?
00:06:06I can't see you.
00:06:09Hi, I'm Dominika.
00:06:10I'm 28.
00:06:11I'm from Sydney and I'm a makeup artist.
00:06:14Can you close the door though, dad, for me?
00:06:15That'd be great.
00:06:16Milo's going to come in.
00:06:17Milo's going to get jealous.
00:06:19Milo's going to come in too.
00:06:21Close that door.
00:06:21She doesn't want to see the windex.
00:06:23What windex?
00:06:26My friends would probably describe me as a Princess Bogan,
00:06:31which I love because it is so me.
00:06:34I have to tell you guys something.
00:06:36Are you pregnant?
00:06:38Are you pregnant?
00:06:39I'm marrying a stranger.
00:06:43I'm married at 25.
00:06:45Oh, my God.
00:06:47Better look after my little girl.
00:06:49Better look after our little girl.
00:06:50OK.
00:06:52Tell me about your previous relationship.
00:06:58I've had a lot of time to reflect on my past relationship.
00:07:05For two of the four years, we moved in together straight away,
00:07:09like within three months of dating.
00:07:12I thought that he was the love of my life.
00:07:15Had the big, beautiful wedding, which I still love to this day.
00:07:19And then two months later, everything just fell apart.
00:07:27It must have taken incredible strength to walk away.
00:07:31It was, and I still think to this day, it'll be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do.
00:07:35Like, it was the toughest thing to have to tell him,
00:07:40to have to tell my parents, to have to tell his parents.
00:07:43Coming back to my Italian heritage, I've seen a lot of family members
00:07:48be in relationships where they're not happy,
00:07:50and it's open that they're not happy, but they're together,
00:07:51because getting a divorce in an Italian family is like a no-go zone.
00:07:56I lost girlfriends that I've had for 15 years,
00:07:59because they just couldn't understand why I'd gone through with this wedding.
00:08:07Yes, I should have said something before we had the wedding,
00:08:10but I didn't, because I had a fear that everyone was going to be disappointed in me.
00:08:16I've heard it all, like, I'm a shitty person, I'm like,
00:08:21I'm never going to, you know, find someone now that they know.
00:08:24You know, find someone now that they know that I've done this.
00:08:28I definitely had that thought.
00:08:30I'm a divorced woman.
00:08:32Who's going to want me?
00:08:40But as time progressed and I healed myself,
00:08:45I actually realised I still believe in marriage,
00:08:50and it's still what I want.
00:08:52To emulate what my parents have.
00:08:54They've been together through thick and thin.
00:08:57The experts have gotten to know me,
00:09:00and they've gotten to know my future husband,
00:09:03and apparently we're a great match.
00:09:09Dad, do you want some nice Italian boy for you?
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:11Do you think he's going to be Italian?
00:09:13It's crazy that he's out there.
00:09:16I just keep thinking of, like, what he could be like.
00:09:19I hope he's got a dog.
00:09:20I hope he likes dogs.
00:09:24Go, buddy.
00:09:25I'm a huge dog person.
00:09:28That is a bit of a deal breaker.
00:09:30Hey, my name is Jack.
00:09:31I grew up in a huge Italian family.
00:09:34It was great growing up with that heritage.
00:09:36It was a really sort of family-based mentality.
00:09:39It still is.
00:09:40I'm not sure about this family meeting.
00:09:43Okay.
00:09:44We're a little disturbed.
00:09:45We're disturbed, Jack.
00:09:47You should be disturbed.
00:09:48I'm getting married in about a fortnight.
00:09:53Who do your parents and grandparents want you to marry?
00:09:58Yeah.
00:09:59If you were to ask Nonna,
00:10:00she'd say marry someone Italian.
00:10:02A beautiful Italian girl.
00:10:03You'd like the heritage to stay strong?
00:10:05I'd like the heritage to stay strong, yes.
00:10:08Did you put that in your profile?
00:10:13I see myself as a pretty nurturing individual.
00:10:16I'm always there for a shoulder to cry on.
00:10:18Not even just in relationships,
00:10:19in friendships, in all that kind of thing.
00:10:22I'm glad you said that because I'm sitting here
00:10:24and I'm thinking you're a nice guy.
00:10:26I know.
00:10:27It's painfully nice, isn't it?
00:10:29You've been told that before too, haven't you?
00:10:30Yeah.
00:10:31A couple of times.
00:10:32Yeah.
00:10:32I can see that in you because you've got a sense about you
00:10:35which is that you care.
00:10:38Yeah.
00:10:39You're sensitive, I think.
00:10:41I definitely would say so as well.
00:10:43I wear my heart on my sleeve
00:10:45and I don't think that's a negative trait of mine.
00:10:47Do you ever feel like you get taken for granted
00:10:49or used in relationships?
00:10:51Look, I've been there.
00:10:52It's hurtful.
00:10:54It's definitely something that, you know,
00:10:56has been a struggle for me in the past
00:10:58and plays on my mind when I'm in a relationship.
00:11:00Why would you put yourself up for this
00:11:03knowing that you could get your heart broken?
00:11:06You've got to be brave to do this.
00:11:08Because I'm not an individual to do things with half effort.
00:11:15I never have been.
00:11:17I want someone to build a life with
00:11:23as if that's not such an amazing achievement.
00:11:26Being able to share a lifetime.
00:11:29The rest of it comes secondary.
00:11:31Having the house, having all that.
00:11:33I'm sure it'll happen
00:11:35but I'm so excited about just being in love.
00:11:40So this is our Italian power couple.
00:11:42Oh, I love it.
00:11:43And I cannot wait to see how they go through this whole thing.
00:11:48Great match, Jack and Dom.
00:11:51And I'm so excited about Ella and Mitch.
00:11:54I think Ella is one of our most interesting participants
00:11:59and Mitch remains a little bit of an enigma.
00:12:02Yes, I agree.
00:12:03I think Mitch, he's a guy that's actually quite introverted.
00:12:06He's not really been in a long-term relationship
00:12:10and I think he's also quite cynical about the process
00:12:13and also about us as experts.
00:12:15Can we really do what we say that we do?
00:12:18But he made it very clear that he's very ready to commit.
00:12:21He really wants the relationships
00:12:23and I'm really excited about Ella.
00:12:25Ella is really interesting.
00:12:27I mean, if you look at her
00:12:28she looks like straight out of an Instagram account.
00:12:30She's so beautiful.
00:12:31She's young.
00:12:32She's very modern.
00:12:33You might think that's all she has to offer
00:12:36but she has so much depth.
00:12:38She's been single for nine years.
00:12:39She's been let down and rejected a lot by men.
00:12:42So there's a real vulnerability there
00:12:44but because of that, she is confident, independent
00:12:47and self-assured.
00:13:02People maybe look at you and think you're fine, right?
00:13:05Oh, hunty, yeah.
00:13:08I'm sure people do look at me
00:13:11and think that she's happy and still alive and having fun
00:13:17and, you know, it all looks maybe a certain way
00:13:20especially through like socials
00:13:22you can make life look however you want it to look.
00:13:25But when it really comes down to it
00:13:27like I'm in bed, I'm by myself
00:13:31with maybe one of the cats, Misha
00:13:33but that's not enough
00:13:36and they're not the cuddles that I want.
00:13:38I'm Ella, I'm 27 and I'm from Melbourne.
00:13:43I want to get right into it.
00:13:44Why do you think you need to come on the show?
00:13:47What's going on?
00:13:49Well, I mean, I've been single for nine years.
00:13:52It's a long time.
00:13:52It's a long time.
00:13:54Yeah, it's a long time to not feel that love.
00:14:02Do you go out on dates?
00:14:04Yes.
00:14:04You do?
00:14:05Yes.
00:14:06I'm definitely an active single woman
00:14:11but the constant disappointment
00:14:16it's been hard.
00:14:25The dating world is pretty brutal.
00:14:28I feel like I've tried and done it all
00:14:31and what I attract is boys, commitment phobias.
00:14:38I just want to have fun.
00:14:39I'm not looking for anything serious.
00:14:42You can have me on the weekends.
00:14:44A guy said that to me one time.
00:14:49And yeah, definitely hinders your self-esteem, I think
00:14:56and what you think you're worthy of.
00:15:01You know, it makes you question, am I gonna have that life?
00:15:07Like the family.
00:15:09It gets to a point where you just like, it's easy to be on your own.
00:15:17It's easy to be solo.
00:15:23I haven't had a boyfriend, someone to call my boyfriend in nine years.
00:15:27Like that's a long time.
00:15:31A long time to be lonely.
00:15:33I am always looking, chasing.
00:15:39What more I could be doing with my life?
00:15:41I don't feel satisfied.
00:15:46I want someone to do everything with.
00:15:51But your dream man, like what is your dream man?
00:15:55Okay, so the dream list.
00:15:57The dream man.
00:16:02Olive skin, light green eyes, brown hair, fit, loyal, independent and courageous.
00:16:21I used to say I'm not picky, but when I started interviewing for this,
00:16:26I was like, shit, I am picky.
00:16:28I guess I'm more picky than my friends.
00:16:34Because it doesn't bother me being single at all.
00:16:38I'm always open to love, always open to find someone and
00:16:43be with someone and grow with someone.
00:16:44But it just hasn't happened.
00:16:45I just haven't found that person yet.
00:16:54There are things in your life that you should take seriously.
00:16:56And love is just one of those things.
00:16:59My name is Mitchell.
00:17:00I'm 26 and I'm from the Gold Coast.
00:17:03In terms of like talking to women, I would definitely say no, I'm not confident.
00:17:09With group situations, I like don't go to festivals or like if it's a nightclub.
00:17:16Not my thing at all.
00:17:20I'm very much my own person.
00:17:22I'm very much my own person.
00:17:25I love my alone time and just sort of going with the flow and doing my own thing.
00:17:30I'm open to anything and everything.
00:17:32But yeah, I guess you get a little bit sceptical about the entire experiment.
00:17:38All right, Mitch.
00:17:40So I'm scratching my head.
00:17:45Why is it that you are doing this?
00:17:47Because he's a good looking guy who essentially has got the world at his feet,
00:17:52could meet anybody, anytime.
00:17:57There's nothing about you that says I'm desperate.
00:18:01So why would you choose to go into this massive experiment
00:18:05that takes you way out of your comfort zone?
00:18:08Well, I've tried everything.
00:18:11I don't believe you.
00:18:12I don't believe you.
00:18:13I don't know what to tell you then.
00:18:15Why is it that you are doing this?
00:18:17Well, I'm not desperate and I don't desperately want to stop being single.
00:18:21It's just the thought of being with someone and being able to, you know,
00:18:24someone that's like-minded, someone that you enjoy spending time with,
00:18:28that you want to grow with, have a family with, you know, be with for the rest of your life.
00:18:32I like the idea, but I just haven't been able to find anyone.
00:18:39And it's all well and good for you to say,
00:18:40well, you haven't found anyone, you've been out there looking,
00:18:42but I haven't had anyone, an expert, you know, find someone out of,
00:18:47what was it, 10 or 20,000 people and say,
00:18:50all right, this is going to be the right person for him.
00:18:55You can use social media, you can go out to the bars and clubs and meet women,
00:19:01but the chance of meeting someone that I'm going to actually want to
00:19:06spend time with and grow with and learn with and spend my future with is pretty slim.
00:19:13What makes you think this is going to be different?
00:19:20Well, you're meant to be the expert.
00:19:25If you're only lukewarm about this experiment, it doesn't matter how expert I am.
00:19:31It doesn't matter who I put in front of you.
00:19:33Yeah.
00:19:34It's going to fail.
00:19:36No, you're right, you're right.
00:19:38What traits do you find really important?
00:19:41Just someone that's level-headed, got a good heart, a good family.
00:19:45Yeah, someone that's confident, spontaneous.
00:19:48It's more so I'm looking for good energy, a good vibe, hopefully we just click.
00:19:53But I guess in this experiment, I mean, the chances of me
00:19:57having that are going to be quite slim.
00:19:59So I've got the three months to, for you and whoever else to tell me,
00:20:03I'm doing this wrong, I'm doing that wrong, I need to work on this.
00:20:06Now, Mitch, this is interesting.
00:20:10And I like that.
00:20:14Look, I hope this experiment works.
00:20:19I hope my bride is perfect for me and I hope that I'm perfect for her.
00:20:24I'm definitely hopeful, but I am a bit sceptical.
00:20:28I'm going to say, I think that we all need to be prepared for
00:20:33the way in which Mitch will question us throughout this experiment.
00:20:37It does present a challenge for us that I think we're all up to.
00:20:41I cannot wait to see what happens when these two lock eyes with one another.
00:20:46It's going to be exciting.
00:20:49And just between us,
00:20:50I'm looking forward to proving Mitch wrong
00:20:52and showing him that we do know what we're talking about.
00:20:55And this is a great match with Ella.
00:20:57Yeah, I agree.
00:21:04Next.
00:21:05Two years ago, I made the hardest decision to walk away from my marriage.
00:21:11I'm like, I don't want to fail again.
00:21:14Dominique, I'm so proud of you.
00:21:16I don't regret my wedding.
00:21:27Yes, it happened, but I healed myself.
00:21:32And now I know that I'm allowed to decide what I want out of my life.
00:21:43I'm definitely ready to fall in love.
00:21:45I'm still skeptical, but I am meant to be experts.
00:21:49So, you know, I'm putting my faith in them 100%.
00:21:51As their wedding day dawns,
00:22:14our newest brides and grooms are turning their thoughts towards an unknown future
00:22:19with an unknown partner.
00:22:21Today is not a normal day.
00:22:23Today is one of the biggest days maybe in my whole life.
00:22:31Because I want it to be my only wedding.
00:22:35I want him to be the only one.
00:22:38Yeah, I'm definitely not as calm as I was a couple of hours ago.
00:22:44I'm not feeling nervous, not yet.
00:22:47Maybe the drive will be when it really kicks in for me
00:22:53and I really start to shit myself.
00:22:59How is it, man, getting married?
00:23:06And for perennial nice guy Jack,
00:23:08the enormity of what today holds is weighing heavily.
00:23:13It's about as real as it gets right now.
00:23:15I mean, once I walk out that door,
00:23:18it's straight up to the wedding.
00:23:22It's crazy to think that she's out there somewhere.
00:23:25I get to meet someone who will hopefully be the one,
00:23:29the real deal, my partner forever.
00:23:37I'm sure she's nervous. I mean, I'm nervous.
00:23:40This is a scary experience.
00:23:43We're getting married.
00:23:46While his future bride Dominika
00:23:51stands at the brink of a giant leap
00:23:54as she faces the prospect of walking down the aisle for a second time.
00:24:05Two years ago, I made the hardest decision
00:24:09I've ever had to make in my life.
00:24:11To walk away from my marriage
00:24:15two months after I had a big wedding,
00:24:19it was the worst thing ever.
00:24:23So standing here right now really scares me
00:24:28because I've been here before.
00:24:32I stood there in front of all my family and my friends
00:24:36and I promised myself to this person.
00:24:41And when that didn't work, I felt like shit.
00:24:44I felt like a failure.
00:24:47There's definitely been some moments
00:24:49where I thought, do I really want to wear a wedding dress again
00:24:52and do the whole thing?
00:24:55Like, I don't want to fail again.
00:24:59But
00:25:02I don't want to be that woman
00:25:04who doesn't reach for what she wants because she's afraid.
00:25:16I'm not afraid anymore.
00:25:24Oh, wow.
00:25:29Okay, now it really feels real.
00:25:34I'm ready.
00:25:48I'm ready.
00:25:53I don't regret my wedding. I don't regret anything I did.
00:25:57Yes, it happened.
00:25:59But I healed myself.
00:26:01And now I know that I'm allowed to decide what I want out of my life.
00:26:07And what I want is to fall in love again.
00:26:10Because I have so much love to give.
00:26:13And I want to be loved.
00:26:32I'm just about to walk into the biggest unknown ever.
00:26:36I know it sounds cheesy.
00:26:37And maybe there's a nice guy in me.
00:26:39But honestly, I just want to be a good husband.
00:26:43Whoever my bride is.
00:27:02All right, here we go.
00:27:09There's going to be nerves.
00:27:10There's going to be doubts.
00:27:13But
00:27:15I read an article.
00:27:17And it said something along the lines of
00:27:19when you see someone for the first time
00:27:22you know within less than a second
00:27:25whether you have a connection.
00:27:26And when I turn around, no matter who's standing there
00:27:31by far the most important thing
00:27:33I just want to see someone with a huge smile.
00:27:37Do I stand up here?
00:27:38As big as mine.
00:27:40How are you doing?
00:27:41I'm just ready to go.
00:27:47I'm nervous, everyone.
00:27:51I'm nervous.
00:27:53I'm nervous.
00:27:55Are you going to give her a kiss, Jack?
00:27:58We'll see, mate.
00:28:04Oh my God.
00:28:15Oh my God, this is really happening now.
00:28:17Holy shit.
00:28:18Oh shit.
00:28:20There's horsies!
00:28:22There's horses!
00:28:25Oh my God.
00:28:30Oh my God.
00:28:33This is really happening now.
00:28:35Oh my God.
00:28:37Oh my God.
00:28:38Yep, there it is.
00:28:42Oh my God, he's there waiting.
00:28:49I'm kind of shitting myself.
00:28:55Oh my God.
00:29:21Even after everything I've gone through
00:29:25I still believe in love at first sight.
00:29:29My parents are living proof of it happening.
00:29:38I just think their love story is
00:29:40I guess it's not very modern but
00:29:42I still think it's beautiful.
00:29:47My dad rocked up to my mum's family farm
00:29:51to buy a box of tomatoes.
00:29:55And my mum's grandfather said
00:29:57Anna, this is a single man.
00:30:00You know, it was the 80s but it felt like the 1800s.
00:30:05Oh boy.
00:30:07And my mum looked at him from across the way
00:30:14and they saw each other
00:30:17and she thought, that's him.
00:30:20He's going to be the one.
00:30:21Hi.
00:30:25Welcome.
00:30:26Hi.
00:30:28You look beautiful.
00:30:29Hi.
00:30:30How are you doing?
00:30:31I'm Jack.
00:30:32I'm Dominica.
00:30:33Sorry, what was your name?
00:30:34Jack.
00:30:35Jack.
00:30:36Nice to meet you.
00:30:37Isn't this exciting?
00:30:38Yes.
00:30:39I'm so nervous.
00:30:40I'm so nervous too.
00:30:41I've got 10 nerves.
00:30:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30:43All of them.
00:30:44I was wondering if you'd be nervous
00:30:45because I was just sitting in the car.
00:30:46I'm nervous.
00:30:47So you're sitting in the car, right?
00:30:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30:49It's all kind of building up.
00:30:50You're not quite sure what's going to happen.
00:30:51Now we're here.
00:30:52Yeah, let's do it.
00:30:53We're doing it.
00:30:54Okay.
00:30:55100% doing it.
00:30:56Hey.
00:30:57Hi.
00:30:58Did you want to just face each other?
00:30:59Yes.
00:31:00Oh, yeah?
00:31:01She's beautiful.
00:31:02She really is.
00:31:03Bright blue eyes.
00:31:04A huge smile on her face.
00:31:05Like, I'm so over the moon.
00:31:08Just check each other out for a bit.
00:31:09Yeah, yeah, just quickly.
00:31:11I look like this.
00:31:12I look like this.
00:31:13Oh, phenomenal.
00:31:14From first impressions, he's perfect.
00:31:17I like that when he looks at me,
00:31:18I feel like he's really looking at me.
00:31:21Top.
00:31:22Top?
00:31:23I don't know.
00:31:24I'm not going to start with the dirty jokes at the altar, okay?
00:31:28Come on.
00:31:29I'm definitely feeling the chemistry.
00:31:30I just wanted someone who had a really kind smile
00:31:33and beautiful eyes.
00:31:35I'm so happy.
00:31:37This is exciting.
00:31:39Yeah.
00:31:41Hi.
00:31:42Hello.
00:31:43That's my family and friends.
00:31:44Hi.
00:31:45Oh, that's so nice.
00:31:46So you could have your family here.
00:31:47Yeah.
00:31:48That's Mother Dears.
00:31:49What's your mum's name?
00:31:50What's your name?
00:31:51Monica.
00:31:52Monica.
00:31:53I'm Domenica, which is kind of like Monica,
00:31:54but the Italian version.
00:31:57Jack's Italian heritage as well.
00:32:00You're going to love Nonna.
00:32:01You're Italian as well?
00:32:02Yeah.
00:32:03Really?
00:32:04Yeah, quite literally.
00:32:05Northern?
00:32:06Yeah.
00:32:07Where are you from?
00:32:08The south.
00:32:09So you've got the Calabrese fiery Italian to deal with.
00:32:12Yeah, I can't believe that.
00:32:13What's with that?
00:32:14It's going to be some fire.
00:32:15Check it out.
00:32:16She's not wrong.
00:32:18We're both born.
00:32:20Oh, this is going to be fun.
00:32:23Today, Domenica and Jack come together in this gorgeous setting
00:32:27in the hopes of finding their soul mates.
00:32:30You meet as strangers, but are committed in the hope
00:32:33that strangers can become partners
00:32:35who are ready and willing to love, respect and support each other.
00:32:40And now, Domenica and Jack
00:32:42have each written personal vows for each other.
00:32:45Never in all of my wildest dreams would I have thought
00:32:48I'd be standing in front of you, a stranger,
00:32:51in a white dress, committing myself wholeheartedly.
00:32:55In the last couple of years, I've not only grown as a person
00:32:58but have come to accept now is the right time for me
00:33:01to allow love back into my life.
00:33:04I don't like the word regret.
00:33:06Everything in my life that has happened has led me here.
00:33:09And right here with you is where I'm meant to be.
00:33:12I go above and beyond for those I love.
00:33:14I promise to make you all of my favourite Italian recipes
00:33:17that my nonna taught me.
00:33:18Even the ones that include meat, because I'm a vegetarian
00:33:21and I hope that's not a deal breaker.
00:33:22So am I.
00:33:23You're a veg-o!
00:33:25Dick.
00:33:26We came here today as strangers, but we leave as one.
00:33:29I cannot wait to go on this journey with you.
00:33:32That's so beautiful.
00:33:38I've come to this experiment to make you a part of me.
00:33:40I've come to this experiment to meet someone special
00:33:42by putting my faith in the experts that have matched us together.
00:33:47I've come to find someone that I truly do admire, adore
00:33:50and maybe find I wish to spend the rest of my life with.
00:33:53Now, marriage has always been something that I truly do admire.
00:33:57And I've always seen it in my future.
00:33:59I guess you could say my search for love hasn't quite worked out yet
00:34:02and I haven't found the one.
00:34:04But that's why I'm lucky enough to be standing here with you.
00:34:07I guess all I can ask is that you love dogs as much as I do.
00:34:10Because, unfortunately, I have to admit,
00:34:12you're not only marrying me, but also my little dog, Finn.
00:34:17I'll get you to look that way.
00:34:21Oh, no.
00:34:26Oh, my God.
00:34:28Oh, my God.
00:34:33Oh, my God.
00:34:34Oh, my God.
00:34:36Hi, Baba.
00:34:37Finn?
00:34:38Finn.
00:34:39Hi, baby.
00:34:40Finn.
00:34:42The dog, like, oh, my God.
00:34:44I just wanted to scream, but I had to, like, keep composure.
00:34:47Hi, Mummy.
00:34:48Oh, Baba, I'm sorry. I know.
00:34:52It was everything. It was so beautiful.
00:34:55Hey, it's OK.
00:34:59OK, Dominika, will you repeat after me, please?
00:35:01Yes.
00:35:02With this ring.
00:35:03With this ring.
00:35:04Comes the hope of a happy future together.
00:35:06Comes the hope of a happy future together.
00:35:12And Jack?
00:35:13Yes.
00:35:14With this ring.
00:35:15With this ring.
00:35:16Comes my promise of commitment.
00:35:17Comes my promise of commitment.
00:35:19To an experiment I hope will last forever.
00:35:21To an experiment that I hope will last forever.
00:35:23To an experiment that I hope will last forever.
00:35:31So now I am very happy to pronounce you husband and wife.
00:35:35It's time to kiss the bride.
00:35:38Yeah.
00:35:44Italian, check.
00:35:45Dog lover, check.
00:35:47Vegetarian, check.
00:35:50Very happy.
00:35:51Oh, my God.
00:35:52Honestly, the guy that I was dreaming of and envisioning,
00:35:56he really is that guy.
00:36:22The next two singles to enter the Married at First Sight experiment
00:36:26are Ella and Mitch.
00:36:30And today marks a life-changing departure
00:36:34from their usual solitary worlds
00:36:39as they each embark on the quest to find something extraordinary.
00:36:45Today is one of the biggest days
00:36:51that I will ever experience,
00:36:54maybe in my whole life.
00:36:59Even though this whole thing is a journey,
00:37:04it's still a journey for me.
00:37:06It's still a journey for me.
00:37:08It's still a journey for me.
00:37:11Even though this whole thing really is extreme,
00:37:16I've never had one doubt.
00:37:20I feel like
00:37:23I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
00:37:31I look like a warrior.
00:37:34I'm grateful for all of the years that I've had being a single woman.
00:37:40Because I wouldn't be where I am now without those years.
00:37:48But I'm ready.
00:37:51Give me one man.
00:37:52Just give me one good man.
00:37:54That's all I need.
00:38:03Look, I like to think that I'm pretty good at first impressions.
00:38:06You know, stand tall, look her straight in the eyes.
00:38:11I would say I'm very independent.
00:38:13I love going with the flow and doing my own thing.
00:38:15But I'm definitely ready to see what else is in store for me.
00:38:20The reason that I'm here is to be vulnerable,
00:38:22it's to let my walls down
00:38:25and hopefully fall in love.
00:38:29I'm not going to force love.
00:38:30Love is just one of those things that's just going to,
00:38:33it's either going to come or it's not.
00:38:35I'm definitely ready to fall in love.
00:38:37I'm sort of sceptical, but I'm meant to be experts.
00:38:41So I'm putting my faith in them 100%.
00:39:08I don't have a particular type.
00:39:13I'm looking for someone that I can connect with
00:39:15on a deeper level than that.
00:39:18You know, that spark, that click.
00:39:21That's what really excites me.
00:39:26I'm not going to settle for less than that.
00:39:31I'm not going to settle for less than that.
00:39:34I'm not going to settle for less than that.
00:39:43If I can fall in love out of this,
00:39:45if I come out of it with a lifelong partner,
00:39:49then I'll definitely be a different person.
00:39:56I don't believe that you should ever settle.
00:40:00So when I get to the end of the aisle,
00:40:02I hope that I feel that real fire.
00:40:14I feel like I'm ready for it.
00:40:19Now I know I'm ready for it.
00:40:33I'll be surprised if I turn around
00:40:35and see my dream woman.
00:40:39Maybe I just don't believe the experts
00:40:41are as good as what they say.
00:40:46But, you know, on the same breath, I'm pretty hopeful.
00:40:51I'd love for them to prove to me
00:40:53that they can do it,
00:40:55that they can do it.
00:40:57You know, on the same breath, I'm pretty hopeful.
00:41:01I'd love for them to prove me wrong.
00:41:16Hello. How are you?
00:41:18You look gorgeous. You look gorgeous.
00:41:22Oh, wow.
00:41:23I'm Mitch. Lovely to meet you.
00:41:25Hola.
00:41:28Wow.
00:41:30You smell really good.
00:41:33You have a great smile.
00:41:37Oh, you are gorgeous.
00:41:40So that's great. You look amazing.
00:41:44So do you. So do you.
00:41:49They definitely hit the nail on the head
00:41:51with the things I asked for.
00:41:54Yes, likewise. Likewise.
00:41:58Ding, ding.
00:41:59Yeah, smile.
00:42:00Yeah.
00:42:01Short.
00:42:02Okay.
00:42:03Just a great figure.
00:42:04Groomed.
00:42:06You're wearing something that I know.
00:42:08Cologne. What are you wearing?
00:42:10Mont Blanc.
00:42:13Yeah, well, you smell amazing.
00:42:15And that's huge for me.
00:42:16The scent is huge.
00:42:19Can you smell me?
00:42:20Yeah, yeah.
00:42:21There's a lot.
00:42:22There's a lot going on.
00:42:23Yeah.
00:42:24I know.
00:42:25All right, guys.
00:42:27Shall we start then?
00:42:29All right.
00:42:31Oh, man.
00:42:37Ella and Mitch,
00:42:39I welcome you two to this very special moment in your lives.
00:42:45A marriage is a voluntary and full commitment,
00:42:48and it is entered into with the desire
00:42:50and the hope that it will last a lifetime.
00:42:56Ella and Mitch,
00:42:58it is time for you to make your marriage vows to each other.
00:43:04Ella, today I say I do,
00:43:07but to me that means I will.
00:43:10I will take your hand and stand by your side
00:43:12in the good and the bad.
00:43:14I'm willing to be vulnerable and open
00:43:17and give this marriage every opportunity at success.
00:43:21It feels really nice being a part of this.
00:43:24It feels really nice being close to him.
00:43:26Just us.
00:43:28Coming into this, I was nervous, anxious,
00:43:30and I was somewhat sceptical
00:43:34about if this was the right thing for me to do.
00:43:36But standing here now,
00:43:39I want today to be the first and last time
00:43:41that I walk down the aisle.
00:43:44You can see him looking at me,
00:43:47like, really looking at me.
00:43:50I dedicate myself to your happiness,
00:43:52your success, and promise to give you all of me
00:43:54100% of the time.
00:43:57It's intense.
00:43:59In a good way.
00:44:00In a really good way.
00:44:02That's mine.
00:44:04That was good.
00:44:05That was exactly, that was all I needed to hear.
00:44:07I'm glad.
00:44:12It's just, it's nice hearing it from a really gorgeous man
00:44:14who I feel like he means it.
00:44:17Yeah.
00:44:22Okay.
00:44:25Alrighty.
00:44:26Woo, Mitch.
00:44:28I have been so excited and have been anticipating meeting you,
00:44:32my mystery man.
00:44:39You're doing good, you're doing good.
00:44:42When I fantasise about the man I am proud to be seen with,
00:44:44I imagine that he has integrity and character.
00:44:48The Latin origin of integrity means whole.
00:44:51Now when it comes to being a good guy,
00:44:53wholesome is sexy.
00:44:57If you are seeking unconditional support,
00:44:59an open heart and an open mind,
00:45:01then I am your girl.
00:45:05My heart is racing.
00:45:08She is beautiful, man.
00:45:10She has great energy,
00:45:12got a great smile, great eyes.
00:45:15Being the P to my pod means I will bring honesty,
00:45:18good vibes only.
00:45:20I'm very impressed.
00:45:23I'm so excited to embark on this crazy journey,
00:45:27but oh baby, it's going to be absolutely elite doing it with you.
00:45:31That was great.
00:45:32That was awesome, I loved that.
00:45:34The experts have definitely nailed it, yeah, 100%.
00:45:38Hang on, I want to do this.
00:45:41Alright, so here we go.
00:45:43Ella, from the moment I met you I knew that I'd marry you.
00:45:47Will you be my wife?
00:45:52Yes.
00:45:53Beautiful.
00:45:55He got down on one knee, he got down on one knee.
00:45:59Like I'm ecstatic.
00:46:01Where did this guy come from?
00:46:09Damn.
00:46:11So far it's just like everything that I've asked for.
00:46:16Yeah.
00:46:27Despite having only just met,
00:46:31sparks are already flying for Ella and Mitch.
00:46:35Okay, guys.
00:46:38That's all we need, guys.
00:46:42As they waste no time forging a connection,
00:46:46Are the boobs okay though?
00:46:47Yeah.
00:46:49Domenica is hung up on a psychic vision of the letter M.
00:46:54Oh my God, I have to ask him about this M thing.
00:46:57That's great, you're facing each other.
00:46:59Like I've been constantly envisioning M,
00:47:01maybe he's from somewhere M.
00:47:04I can't wait to ask him.
00:47:05Okay, as soon as I knew that I was going into the experiment,
00:47:08I was going to be here,
00:47:09I just kept thinking M, something with M.
00:47:11What about M?
00:47:12I don't know.
00:47:13I'm just trying to think, like, where are you from?
00:47:15So I live in Sydney.
00:47:16Yeah.
00:47:17About 20 minutes south of here is where I grew up.
00:47:18So why was I thinking M?
00:47:22That's weird.
00:47:24Hang on, where do you live now?
00:47:25You live in Sydney.
00:47:26I'm in Millers Point, you know where the rocks is?
00:47:27M! Okay, that's where the M is.
00:47:29Oh my God.
00:47:30My last name's Miller.
00:47:36Oh my God.
00:47:39I am psycho, see?
00:47:40Yeah.
00:47:41So I was right.
00:47:43My psycho predictions were right.
00:47:47But guys, why get another little kiss out there,
00:47:49because it looks so beautiful.
00:47:50Oh yeah, absolutely.
00:47:51Oh yeah, do you want to fix that?
00:47:52No.
00:47:54You can take it off later.
00:47:56Simple.
00:47:58I don't know if I believe in these six sense things or not.
00:48:03But I do know that Dom's a great kisser.
00:48:08I think the experts have nailed it.
00:48:12I mean, Dom's beautiful and she's lovely.
00:48:15And like, she seems completely unique.
00:48:17It's going to get wet.
00:48:18And it's going to get duck shit on it.
00:48:24Hello everybody.
00:48:25Hi.
00:48:26Oh, I'm stuck.
00:48:29To the rescue, Jack.
00:48:33I'm definitely feeling some sort of connection brewing.
00:48:35Cheers guys, cheers.
00:48:36Cheers everyone.
00:48:37Thank you so much everyone for being here.
00:48:39Cheers to us.
00:48:40Cheers.
00:48:41You've got to look at the person before you cheers.
00:48:44He's gorgeous.
00:48:45He seems really kind and sweet.
00:48:47Hang on.
00:48:48Put it behind me.
00:48:49Yeah, like that.
00:48:50That's alright.
00:48:51He needs to be told.
00:48:52It's fine.
00:48:53Oh, okay.
00:48:56So, was I what you were expecting?
00:49:00I said three things.
00:49:01Smile on the face.
00:49:02I said blue eyes.
00:49:04And I asked wild dogs.
00:49:06So, you've checked every box so far.
00:49:08And more.
00:49:09And more.
00:49:10But looks wise, were you happy when...
00:49:12Oh, you're beautiful.
00:49:13You really are.
00:49:14Seriously.
00:49:15I mean that quite honestly.
00:49:16I was just like...
00:49:17I'm really happy with who the experts have paired me with.
00:49:21Yeah, genuinely really happy.
00:49:26And I can't believe how much we have in common.
00:49:28Wait, what music do you like?
00:49:30Oh, this is diverse.
00:49:31Okay, but come on.
00:49:32No, this is huge.
00:49:34What are your thoughts on Justin Timberlake?
00:49:36Jack's a massive fan of JT.
00:49:38Justin Timberlake?
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:41I like that song Mirrors.
00:49:43That's all we need.
00:49:44That's all we need.
00:49:45I like Mirrors.
00:49:46It's like you're my mirror.
00:49:48You're my mirror, staring back at me.
00:49:51Have you got any concerns at this point?
00:49:54Well, I mean I haven't told him yet that I've been married before.
00:49:58And I'm a bit worried to have that conversation.
00:50:02Like, we're having fun.
00:50:03What about the new Drake album?
00:50:05I don't know who Drake is.
00:50:08But I'm sitting at the dinner table with this big thing hanging over me.
00:50:12You know, my divorce and the fact that I was in a marriage for such a short period of time.
00:50:18When was your last relationship?
00:50:22Three years?
00:50:23Three?
00:50:24Three, four years ago?
00:50:25What about you?
00:50:26When was your last thing?
00:50:27You mentioned your vows.
00:50:28You were like, I'm ready.
00:50:30Yeah, like 18 months.
00:50:33What happened there?
00:50:35That's okay for me to ask.
00:50:36In a public setting.
00:50:38It's hard when you've just met someone and you really want them to like you.
00:50:41And you want to put your best foot forward.
00:50:42But when something's in your past, that necessarily isn't positive.
00:50:46And you have to tell them this huge thing.
00:50:51It's like nerve wracking.
00:50:55You can be totally honest.
00:50:56No, I do want to be totally honest.
00:50:58I've been judged so much in the past from this marriage breakdown.
00:51:03And, you know, I'm scared of having that from someone that I really want to like me.
00:51:11I think I want to talk to you.
00:51:13Maybe not.
00:51:15Yeah.
00:51:16Yeah.
00:51:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:21Like I'm really f***ing myself now.
00:51:33In Sydney, at an intimate wedding reception for two, the chemistry between Ella and Mitch is palpable.
00:51:47I just want you to tell me like everything about you.
00:51:50Do you like Mitch or Mitchell?
00:51:52Look, you can call me whatever you like.
00:51:53If you prefer Mitchell, go for it.
00:51:55Yeah, I feel like that just comes naturally for me.
00:52:00Hubby.
00:52:03Looks wise, Mitchell's a solid 10 out of 10.
00:52:05All right.
00:52:07What am I thinking?
00:52:08I'm thinking, yes, the chemistry is there.
00:52:11He's gorgeous.
00:52:13Your eyes are really nice.
00:52:14Yeah, they're beautiful.
00:52:15And you look really good.
00:52:17So do you.
00:52:20She's gorgeous.
00:52:24She's confident.
00:52:25She seems very charismatic.
00:52:29I'm looking forward to dinner.
00:52:31I'm hungry.
00:52:34And she's hungry as well.
00:52:38Yeah, looking forward to enjoying a meal with her.
00:52:47So what are your thoughts?
00:52:50I just, you're so single.
00:52:53Would you have believed that she was Italian?
00:52:55Yeah, I know.
00:52:56Jack and Domenica have only just met and married at first sight,
00:53:00but already friends and family are marvelling at their similarities.
00:53:04I saw you two standing next to each other and it was like match made in heaven.
00:53:08And I saw the way you looked at him.
00:53:12Yeah, I mean, he's very handsome.
00:53:13I was very happy.
00:53:16Look at the llamas.
00:53:17Yeah, I know, they might be.
00:53:18Alpaca?
00:53:19Oh, alpaca.
00:53:20Are they llamas?
00:53:21I don't really know.
00:53:22No, they're alpacas.
00:53:23Yeah, like, look, all in all, I'm actually really happy.
00:53:26Mm-hmm.
00:53:27I thought you should be.
00:53:28But as the connection between the pair grows,
00:53:31so too does Domenica's insecurity about her failed first marriage.
00:53:36I want to ask you guys a question now that he's not here.
00:53:39Obviously, you two know my past,
00:53:42but I wanted to speak with you guys because you're his best mates.
00:53:46Yeah, it's what I've been most nervous about this whole day.
00:53:49But yeah, I guess communication is key.
00:53:55So I've been married before.
00:53:59I'm divorced.
00:54:00And I guess, you know, that's a pretty big experience in my life.
00:54:04Yeah, for sure.
00:54:05Yeah.
00:54:06Couldn't we ask the question how long ago it was?
00:54:0918 months ago.
00:54:11Yeah.
00:54:13And, you know, we weren't married for long.
00:54:15We were married for two months.
00:54:18I do like her.
00:54:19From first value, I really do.
00:54:21Slow.
00:54:22Yeah, that's the thing.
00:54:24That's not something I'm strong at.
00:54:25No, slow.
00:54:26There are going to be moments that are going to be difficult.
00:54:29You're getting right in a pressure cooker straight away.
00:54:33But you have a connection.
00:54:35We do.
00:54:36Thank God.
00:54:37No, thank God.
00:54:38How do you think he's going to react?
00:54:45How ready are you, do you reckon?
00:54:47Very personal question.
00:54:4818 months.
00:54:49I've known you for the past four hours.
00:54:52How ready are you to give yourself to Jack?
00:54:56I am so ready.
00:54:57Like, I am ready to settle down, have kids.
00:54:59Like, I want to make a home with someone.
00:55:01That's the stage I'm at in my life.
00:55:03Yeah.
00:55:0428 and divorce is not where I saw myself.
00:55:07Yeah.
00:55:08And it's hard to even hear myself say that.
00:55:11I want to be in a loving relationship with someone who wants me wholeheartedly for everything that I am.
00:55:18Yeah.
00:55:19That's Jack.
00:55:20Yeah.
00:55:21That's Jack.
00:55:23You know, I'm scared of judgement.
00:55:25You know, from someone that I really want to like me.
00:55:29It's like nerve-wracking.
00:55:32Is it because you really like him?
00:55:35Yeah, it is.
00:55:36It's because I really like him and I can see that there's something there.
00:55:40Which is really scary and confronting.
00:55:44What do you think that his mum will say?
00:55:47I can tell that she's tough.
00:55:49Yeah, Monica, she's looking out for Jack.
00:55:54Monica raised Jack by herself for a number of years.
00:55:58You know, she's a young mum.
00:55:59She's an incredible mum.
00:56:00So Jack, she's always got her eye out for Jack.
00:56:03Any more words of wisdom before we jump back in?
00:56:06No.
00:56:07Happy with it?
00:56:08Mm-hmm.
00:56:09Yeah.
00:56:10Beautiful.
00:56:11I think it's just starting to rain now.
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:13Oh, my words of wisdom, I'll never walk in front of your mum again.
00:56:15You can't do anything but be transparent.
00:56:17Otherwise, you're just setting yourself up for failure.
00:56:20I think if you can respect him and be honest with him,
00:56:25then, yeah, he'll give you what you need.
00:56:29Yeah.
00:56:41Ooh.
00:56:43So you're not vegan?
00:56:44Um, no, I'm not vegan.
00:56:46Could you imagine if...?
00:56:47I am.
00:56:49No, I'm not.
00:56:50Oh.
00:56:53Big tip.
00:56:54Like, I am the most gullible person.
00:56:57Really?
00:56:59You got any kids?
00:57:01Do I have kids?
00:57:02No.
00:57:03Do you have kids?
00:57:04I have two boys.
00:57:06Really?
00:57:07No, I'm joking.
00:57:08I just wanted to test the whole gullible thing.
00:57:10Don't do that.
00:57:11No kids.
00:57:12No, I won't do it again.
00:57:13Do you want kids?
00:57:14Yeah, I do.
00:57:16You?
00:57:17Mm-hmm.
00:57:18Do you drink any sexual chemistry?
00:57:23Sexual chemistry?
00:57:30I wouldn't normally order something like this, probably.
00:57:32But I like it.
00:57:34I love oysters.
00:57:37F*** yeah, he's gorgeous.
00:57:39Like, his suit.
00:57:43His smell.
00:57:44His eyes.
00:57:47Careful, you've got...
00:57:48Oh, Jesus.
00:57:55There's a lot there.
00:57:57I don't mind trying new things.
00:58:00Okay.
00:58:01I'll hold you to that.
00:58:04What were you expecting when you walked in that room?
00:58:06What were you expecting?
00:58:07I was sort of expecting, like...
00:58:10I don't know, just definitely not you.
00:58:13You took me by surprise.
00:58:17You made me feel very hot.
00:58:19I think I blacked out for a minute.
00:58:22I hope that's a good thing.
00:58:25Yeah, I mean, I was, like, flustered.
00:58:28I was speechless as well.
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:30Smile was the first thing I noticed about you.
00:58:31Really?
00:58:32Your smile, your teeth.
00:58:33But, like, personality is, like, big for me.
00:58:37Like, I've nearly, you know, like, fallen for people
00:58:40based on just personality, not looks at all.
00:58:44It's funny you say that.
00:58:45I'm exactly the same.
00:58:47I feel like everything that he says, it sounds like me.
00:58:52So what was your, like...
00:58:54What did you ask for?
00:58:56Big things for me were, like, someone that's very confident,
00:58:58knows what they want and goes after it,
00:59:00because I find that very attractive.
00:59:02Like, everything he says is, like, what I want.
00:59:04It's, like, what I'm looking for.
00:59:05It's what I'm hoping for, like...
00:59:07That was really it.
00:59:09I don't want to have doubts.
00:59:14It's basically my criteria too.
00:59:19But I'm just so used to attracting the wrong kind of guys.
00:59:22Almost, it's hard for me to, like, hear words like that
00:59:26from someone who looks like he should be on the front of a magazine.
00:59:35There you go.
00:59:36That's...
00:59:37All the experts have got you and I together then.
00:59:39I'm, like, starting to like him a lot, so I'm getting really scared.
00:59:42And then, you know, when, like, that self-sabotage stuff kicks in,
00:59:45the doubts.
00:59:47Like, is he just telling me what I want to hear?
00:59:51Yeah.
00:59:52And then ruins it.
00:59:54It really ruins it.
00:59:58Right now, it feels...
01:00:00It feels too good to be true.
01:00:07Just hours into her new relationship,
01:00:09Dominika is feeling the pressure
01:00:11to reveal her previous marriage to her new husband, Jack.
01:00:15Do you want to go have a chat? Yeah. Let's go over here.
01:00:17She has decided to take Jack's mum, Monica, aside
01:00:20to pay respect to her new mother-in-law
01:00:22and seek advice on how to handle the situation.
01:00:25I think it's super important.
01:00:27It's his mum and he's really close with his mum,
01:00:29so I think it's going to be really great to get that advice from her.
01:00:32What were your first impressions of Jack?
01:00:35I was, like, honestly, I just saw his smile
01:00:38and his beautiful blue eyes.
01:00:40Yeah, I was really happy.
01:00:42What do you think? I'm stoked.
01:00:44Honestly, this has been great.
01:00:46Any concerns?
01:00:48No. Genuinely, not. Like, not at the moment.
01:00:51I can definitely feel it. There's definitely something there.
01:00:54I've landed a great guy.
01:00:56Who comes from, you know, very strong values.
01:01:00Yeah. I know. I can see that.
01:01:03And I think that's something you'll find about us and our family.
01:01:06We're very family-oriented.
01:01:09I'm just thinking to myself,
01:01:11I have to tell her about my divorce and my marriage, like, now.
01:01:15Um...
01:01:17I need to tell you, life is never boring with Jack.
01:01:20He just has so much to offer.
01:01:22Seriously. Because he's always been so talented.
01:01:25So we got to see him ski all the time.
01:01:27We got to have all these experiences.
01:01:29Yeah, I can definitely say that we're going to have heaps of fun.
01:01:33You know, getting Jack's mum's approval is huge to me.
01:01:37Yeah, of course. And I'm not silly.
01:01:39Imagine what you can do to get the experiences you can have
01:01:42with the sort of energy that both of you have.
01:01:45I felt it straight away from you.
01:01:47Yeah, seriously.
01:01:49I can't just say he's actually a very good communicator.
01:01:51But I can't get a word in.
01:01:53Do you know how many people stop me and say,
01:01:55oh, my God, you've brought up Jack so well.
01:01:57And I'm thinking...
01:01:59Oh, my God, he's such a good boy.
01:02:01He's such a good boy. Whatever you've done, you've done.
01:02:03Yeah.
01:02:05No, I just wanted to have a chat with you.
01:02:07Because going into this, I just wanted to be open and honest.
01:02:10OK, let me tell you, sometimes I think he's an oversharer.
01:02:13Where's his heart on his sleeve, to a degree, I'd say.
01:02:15It's something that's really made me nervous.
01:02:17Don't be.
01:02:19You're not looking for the Virgin Bride, I'm sure.
01:02:21Um...
01:02:23Oh, f***.
01:02:25No, but...
01:02:27I think he just has so much to offer.
01:02:29Yes, yeah.
01:02:33SIGHS
01:02:35While Domenica considers her next move,
01:02:39Ella faces a very different dilemma.
01:02:46After nine bruising years in the modern dating game,
01:02:50she's worried her new husband, Mitch, might be too good to be true.
01:02:55So she's reaching out to a good friend for advice.
01:02:59Hi!
01:03:01LAUGHTER
01:03:03Oh, my God! You look amazing.
01:03:05Oh, it's so nice to see you.
01:03:07It's so nice to see your face.
01:03:09Oh, my gosh.
01:03:11I don't believe you're married.
01:03:13I do. Like...like...
01:03:15LAUGHTER
01:03:17Who the heck did you marry?
01:03:19Oh, my God, I actually don't...
01:03:21Like, I don't even know where to start.
01:03:26Like, he's...he's...
01:03:28He's freaking gorgeous.
01:03:31He smells, like, divine.
01:03:33His eyes are just, like, heaven.
01:03:36LAUGHTER
01:03:38There's definitely, like...
01:03:40There's definitely chemistry there.
01:03:46Babe, neither was I.
01:03:48Do you reckon there's any hesitation?
01:03:50Like, anything that's sort of, like...
01:03:54Um...
01:03:56Yeah, like, he...
01:03:59He's...
01:04:01Everything that he was saying sounded like me.
01:04:04Do you feel like you're sort of leading that?
01:04:07I don't know.
01:04:12Like...
01:04:14Like, I've been single for nine years,
01:04:16and someone who I just met is telling me
01:04:18everything I want to hear.
01:04:22I can't help but have self-doubt.
01:04:25That's just...it comes with always being disappointed,
01:04:28always being let down.
01:04:30Like, it just comes with it.
01:04:32Walls come up based on experiences
01:04:35and, you know, past and all that sort of stuff.
01:04:37Like...
01:04:39I just have... It's... Yeah, like, it's...
01:04:42It's hard for me to explain.
01:04:46After every other experience that I've been through,
01:04:50I do have doubts.
01:04:54It's hard for me to believe his words when he says them.
01:04:58So I want to, like, make sure that I ask the right questions
01:05:03without making him run for the hills.
01:05:08Are you feeling satisfied after food?
01:05:10Yeah. Are you feeling all right? Yeah.
01:05:16So...
01:05:20Can I ask you a question?
01:05:23Why? Like, what makes you feel ready for this?
01:05:29Hunky man like you.
01:05:31Like, obviously, you've been on, like, what, Bumble, Tinder, Hinge?
01:05:36Like, I just don't doubt that you have so many gorgeous women DMing you.
01:05:42Yeah.
01:05:49I've tried all the traditional ways of dating.
01:05:51Social media, it goes out, you know, done all that shit.
01:05:55It's never had much luck.
01:05:58It's one of those things, like,
01:06:00there's nothing really substantial that comes out of it.
01:06:04For me, love's something that you have to work for,
01:06:07and, you know, it does take time to find someone
01:06:10that you enjoy spending time with,
01:06:12and I was hopeful the experts would just speed the process up for me.
01:06:17It's just energy.
01:06:19Very rarely do I meet a woman like you,
01:06:22so this is all very new.
01:06:27That was really nice.
01:06:29I feel like I just want to sit closer to you.
01:06:34Come here. Want to come right here?
01:06:45I feel like I want to kiss you now.
01:07:00KISSES
01:07:19As Ella and Mitch's wedding night winds down
01:07:22and Ella's doubts melt away,
01:07:24the chemistry between them is only heating up.
01:07:30KISSES
01:07:35It feels really nice kissing you.
01:07:38We're definitely vibing, 100%.
01:07:40And we're getting along.
01:07:43And she's gorgeous, she's stunning, she's beautiful, everything.
01:07:51I was pretty sceptical going into this.
01:07:53I didn't really think that the experts had eaten them,
01:07:56to be completely honest.
01:08:00But they proved me wrong.
01:08:08Let's make a move.
01:08:19It's been a great day.
01:08:25You tired?
01:08:27Are you?
01:08:29No.
01:08:31OK.
01:08:41And as they travel towards the bridal suite...
01:08:46Right...
01:08:50..only one question remains.
01:08:53Yes, I want to jump his pants.
01:08:55Ooh!
01:08:57That was good.
01:08:59But, you know, I've got rules.
01:09:05Usually it's a three-day rule.
01:09:07Yeah.
01:09:09No sex.
01:09:11Just for a few dates.
01:09:13Get me a hot shower, eh?
01:09:15What do you usually sleep in?
01:09:17Do you sleep in pyjamas?
01:09:19No.
01:09:21I'll be fine.
01:09:23I'll be fine.
01:09:25Have faith in me.
01:09:27Um, I think...
01:09:29I can't wait to see him with his shirt off.
01:09:31I think I'm going to be like...
01:09:49He's obviously very good-looking.
01:09:51Fit, healthy, like, takes care of himself.
01:09:53So you're a hair person?
01:09:55No, not excessive.
01:09:57Maintained, but this is like zero.
01:09:59Yeah.
01:10:01You don't have anything.
01:10:05This is a...
01:10:07This is a date, right?
01:10:09The wedding counts as a date, right?
01:10:15Can I have a kiss before we go to bed?
01:10:17You can.
01:10:21Yeah.
01:10:27I'm really trying my best.
01:10:31Yeah, I might need a cold shower.
01:10:35I'll be fine.
01:10:37All right.
01:10:39I think I'm done.
01:10:45We'll do it, like, with both hands.
01:10:47Ready?
01:10:49Teamwork.
01:10:51Today is everything
01:10:53I hoped and wished for.
01:10:55I feel like I'm watching two old Italian couples,
01:10:57like an old Italian couple,
01:10:59just trying to feed, like, their 14 children.
01:11:01Jesus Christ.
01:11:03Following a romantic evening in a rustic setting...
01:11:05We broke it.
01:11:07...Domenica still hasn't told Jack
01:11:09about her recent divorce.
01:11:11I think Jack and I have great potential,
01:11:13and we have all of the right things there
01:11:15to make this relationship work.
01:11:17I feel like I've had a big thing
01:11:19hanging over me all day.
01:11:27Just look picturesque.
01:11:29Yeah.
01:11:31Quintessence.
01:11:33Yeah, it's our first moment, I guess,
01:11:35that we've had alone so far.
01:11:37I know.
01:11:39I'm scared to tell him about my divorce
01:11:41because I do kind of... I do like him.
01:11:43It's a big deal.
01:11:45It's a big deal deep down, you know?
01:11:47He might say it's all right, but maybe deep down,
01:11:49he's like he doesn't want someone that's been married before.
01:11:51I don't know. It's really nerve-wracking.
01:11:53Obviously, like, I was pretty worried
01:11:55about, like, opening up to you and stuff
01:11:57because you are a stranger.
01:11:59But, you know, I came into this experiment
01:12:01and I want to be as open and honest...
01:12:03Yeah, of course, of course, yeah.
01:12:05...as possible about my past.
01:12:07Yeah, I've been married before
01:12:09and divorced.
01:12:11You know, I was in a four-year relationship
01:12:13for two months and...
01:12:15Two months?
01:12:17So I was really worried to open up to you about it
01:12:19because I didn't know how that, like,
01:12:21you would react.
01:12:27Well, what happened?
01:12:29Is that OK for me to ask at this point?
01:12:31Can we speak for you?
01:12:43It's OK.
01:12:45I'm not going to tell you why,
01:12:47because you're going to talk about it.
01:12:49I'm not.
01:12:51You're not going to tell me why.
01:12:53No, I'm not.
01:12:55I don't know.
01:12:57I just don't want to talk about it.
01:12:59Worried to open up to you about it because I didn't know how that like you would react
01:13:09What happened is that okay for me to ask at this point I
01:13:13Wasn't happy, and I wasn't happy six months before I got married, and I shouldn't have gone through it, but I did
01:13:23That's fair look to be totally honest with you. I could never
01:13:27It would be inappropriate for me to judge someone on someone's past
01:13:32Everyone's gonna have a past everyone's gonna have something, but that's where you learn
01:13:37I've only known you for a very short period of time
01:13:38But like you realize that's like you know you being that honest shows to me that like you're in this
01:13:45Doesn't bother me at all. I don't see anything negative about any of that. I really don't okay good
01:13:52That was the reaction. I was hoping for but I just don't want you to think that
01:13:57You know oh it got tough, and I just walked away because it's not like that
01:14:02That's fine. You realize. That's like. That's the hardest thing to do
01:14:07It shows you sort of feel for other people look. I had that with my past relationship. No we weren't married
01:14:13Yes, we're together for years, and I knew we weren't working for probably the last like 12 months
01:14:17But didn't say anything, and it's just that like because you don't want to hurt people right yeah, yeah, yeah
01:14:22I'm totally fine with it. Okay. I really am
01:14:25To be honest. Oh that was really nice
01:14:27Jack's response was honestly just what I was wanting that wasn't that was the past and this is gonna be the future of us
01:14:34He made me feel at ease. He didn't judge me. I hope it wasn't too much of a bombshell like no
01:14:39No, of course not, but it was for you, and that's important like you know like it's if it's big for you
01:14:45Then it's you know it's gonna be weak for me. We're married. That's what that's the point of this you know
01:14:49All right, thank God see breath. Yeah, I'm feeling better now. Yeah
01:14:54I
01:14:59Never imagined that I'd be standing here, and I'd be so happy as I am like I just really can't believe that the experts got
01:15:06it right
01:15:09I'm sorry. I was really scared of moving on meeting someone
01:15:15You know committing myself to someone again and giving my all to someone, but today was a huge
01:15:21Puzzle piece that was missing from me to in in order to heal
01:15:26Like full throttle. Let's go. I'm ready
01:15:30Let's go home
01:15:38I
01:15:41Had a fertility test I was in the bottom three percent two desperate hearts
01:15:48I've never experienced
01:15:50Unconditional love give the experiment
01:15:54Everything they've got I never thought I would be 36 without a husband and a baby
01:16:02Will they do husbands this could be the father of my children I'd be grateful for my two would be nice
01:16:08Yeah, do you think yourself having kids the same dream?
01:16:12I'm gonna assume that we're having a baby um I've just met you you married tomorrow 730 on 9
01:16:20You
