00:00:00Previously...
00:00:02Hi.
00:00:03You look beautiful.
00:00:04Divorced Domenica...
00:00:05You're Italian as well?
00:00:06Yeah.
00:00:07We're both wards.
00:00:08Oh, this is gonna be fun.
00:00:09Took a second chance at love with Jack...
00:00:12He's perfect.
00:00:13Never imagined that I'd be so happy as I am.
00:00:15And then...
00:00:16Maybe I just don't believe the experts are as good as what they say.
00:00:19Our most sceptical groom ever, Mitch...
00:00:22I'll be surprised if I turn around and see my dream woman.
00:00:26Ended up eating his words.
00:00:29You look gorgeous.
00:00:30You look gorgeous.
00:00:31She's stunning.
00:00:32She's beautiful.
00:00:33Everything.
00:00:34As the chemistry with his new wife, Ella, was off the charts.
00:00:38My heart is racing.
00:00:40It's really nice kissing you.
00:00:42The experts have definitely nailed it.
00:00:43Yeah.
00:00:44100%.
00:00:45Tonight...
00:00:46I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:00:49It's a manifestation of love.
00:00:52I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:00:55Yeehaw!
00:00:58But will Holly's Texan groom...
00:01:00Giddy up, Parker.
00:01:01Come up trumps?
00:01:02I'm thinking, gums!
00:01:04Trump is just coming through my head.
00:01:06Or will it all go south?
00:01:08It's kind of scary.
00:01:09Where's the cowboy hat?
00:01:11Plus a spectacular nighttime wedding.
00:01:14It's my time to find love.
00:01:16As a bride hopes for unconditional love.
00:01:19I'm not going to sacrifice any more to make my parents happy.
00:01:24And then...
00:01:25Look at this view!
00:01:26Wow!
00:01:27All of our couples dive into their honeymoons.
00:01:30This is an opportunity for me to be a little bit romantic for Sohyang.
00:01:33And things are already heating up.
00:01:35Alright, sweethearts.
00:01:36I got a surprise for you.
00:01:38Oh my goodness.
00:01:39As the honesty box...
00:01:41Ah, okay.
00:01:42...delivers some hurtful truths.
00:01:45That was a slap in the face.
00:01:47We've obviously got to figure out where we go from here.
00:01:57Our new couples are starting their first day as husband and wife.
00:02:04And on the south coast of New South Wales...
00:02:07...Dominica has put any worries she had about being divorced to bed.
00:02:12We got a bit excited last night.
00:02:14There was a little bit of excitement there.
00:02:16Yeah.
00:02:17Yeah, I definitely kind of went into yesterday...
00:02:20...thinking that I was going to hold a wedding.
00:02:23I went into yesterday thinking that I was going to hold out for intimacy.
00:02:28That was so good.
00:02:29I had a lot of fun.
00:02:31It's just the timing felt right.
00:02:33And that's...
00:02:34I don't know what more I can say.
00:02:45Is he a good root?
00:02:50Without being crude...
00:02:52...I liked it a lot.
00:02:57In Sydney, newlyweds Ella and Mitch are also waking up after a steamy wedding night.
00:03:03How did you sleep?
00:03:04Actually terrible.
00:03:05Terrible?
00:03:06Sweating because it was so hot in here.
00:03:09Complicated by Ella's three date rule.
00:03:13I have a three date rule.
00:03:15So I don't have sex until maybe the third or fourth date.
00:03:20Oh.
00:03:21Also we're both like...
00:03:24...so pyjamas.
00:03:26I wasn't going to be jumping into bed with you naked on the first night, mate.
00:03:29Yeah, I wouldn't blame ya.
00:03:31Likewise.
00:03:33I don't want to like, you know, rush.
00:03:35But we've shared a few passions.
00:03:37Had a little kiss.
00:03:38No.
00:03:39No.
00:03:40No, we haven't had sex yet.
00:03:42How good was yesterday though?
00:03:44It was.
00:03:45I think we got pretty lucky.
00:03:47What was the highlight?
00:03:49Probably when we got to kiss.
00:03:51That's cute.
00:03:52Yeah.
00:03:53Obviously we're physically drawn to each other.
00:03:55So like I'm really glad that we didn't just, you know.
00:03:58I think it is better when you wait.
00:04:01You've got soft, plump lips.
00:04:03Oh babe.
00:04:04That's so nice of you.
00:04:07While Ella and Mitch begin their countdown,
00:04:10this year's married at first sight experiment continues to unfold.
00:04:15The experts have spent months meeting and matching eligible singles
00:04:19and are eager to discuss the next pairings they've made.
00:04:23I'd like to talk about a couple with massive personalities,
00:04:26namely Andrew and Holly.
00:04:29Holly, who is so ready to become a mum.
00:04:33She's 36 and is really hearing the biological clock ticking away.
00:04:38And she has this urgency about her that she needs to find the one.
00:04:43And that is putting a pressure on her.
00:04:45There's no doubt about that.
00:04:47Now Andrew is a guy who's larger than life.
00:04:49He's a motivational speaker.
00:04:51He's a life coach.
00:04:53He's got a young daughter who's nearly three.
00:04:56And he wants to be the best dad he can possibly be.
00:05:01I'm Andrew.
00:05:02I'm 39 years old.
00:05:04And I am from Dallas, Texas, born and raised.
00:05:08I've spent most of my time in the country.
00:05:10I grew up doing rodeo, wrestling, working on a farm.
00:05:14So very country, very Texas.
00:05:18So what brought me to Australia was a girl.
00:05:21I fell in love with a girl in Texas that was from Australia.
00:05:25We got married within like the first week I was here.
00:05:28And that relationship didn't work out so well.
00:05:31So when we chatted via video, you shared with me that you do fall in love quickly.
00:05:35And that's led to a couple of marriages so far.
00:05:38It has. I'm 0 for 2.
00:05:40I want to hear a little bit about that first marriage.
00:05:44The day of the wedding came and I felt uneasy the whole day.
00:05:47I wasn't happy.
00:05:49I felt like I'd made a huge mistake.
00:05:51And while my ex-wife was walking down the aisle, I was crying.
00:05:56I wasn't crying because I was happy or because I was about to start a new life with a human.
00:06:01I literally knew at that point that I'd made a huge mistake.
00:06:05There's a lot of guilt and shame that comes along with that.
00:06:07And I've had to forgive myself for that.
00:06:11Still a work in progress.
00:06:13And I am a father now because of one of those relationships.
00:06:17So tell me a bit about how your life changed when little Maddie came along.
00:06:22Yeah, she...
00:06:29Yeah, I wanted to...
00:06:32I had to be the man that I wanted to see her with.
00:06:34And I wasn't when she was born.
00:06:36It was a tough road.
00:06:39My daughter is the pride of my life.
00:06:41She changed me as a man.
00:06:43Every moment I spend with her, I absolutely love it.
00:06:46Do you see yourself becoming a dad again?
00:06:50I think the happiest I see myself when I look in the future and I try to manifest these things is...
00:06:55I always see two little kids and a beach and holding hands like all four of us.
00:07:00So I know that it's something that I would like.
00:07:04Tell me about this ideal woman.
00:07:06What's she going to be like?
00:07:08Motherly.
00:07:09Nurturing.
00:07:10Kind.
00:07:12Yeah, hopefully I'm manifesting that in.
00:07:14Oh, they are so cute.
00:07:18Oh!
00:07:20I have two beautiful nieces.
00:07:22I love being an auntie.
00:07:23Of course, I love them to bits.
00:07:25But it's something I want for myself.
00:07:27You can snuggle into me.
00:07:29Being a wife and a mother really is the most important thing to me.
00:07:35But I never thought in a million years that I would be 36 without a husband and a baby.
00:07:45I always thought it would just happen.
00:07:49Everyone else seems to get so easy and it's so hard for me.
00:07:56Sometimes I feel like I'm a failure.
00:08:00You know, you just want basic things.
00:08:05A husband and a child seems so basic for everyone.
00:08:11And it's like, it's the one thing I just haven't been able to attain.
00:08:18What is it that means this is your everything?
00:08:22To have a child.
00:08:24Be in a relationship.
00:08:26It's something within me that I cannot describe.
00:08:30That I can't switch off.
00:08:32It's a need.
00:08:34Like I need air, like I need water.
00:08:37And there is a biological clock.
00:08:40Mine is ticking.
00:08:42And it's scary.
00:08:45I have had a blood test where I've checked what my fertility may be like.
00:08:51And things aren't looking so great.
00:08:57And that's tough.
00:09:00And I am, I'm on a timeline.
00:09:03I'm on, I don't want to miss out.
00:09:08I don't want to miss out.
00:09:12But it's hard because I also want to be loved by a man.
00:09:17And you don't want to scare a man off.
00:09:21There's an urgency about Holly that really comes out as soon as you meet her.
00:09:25She's focused, she's absolutely in a hurry to find the one.
00:09:30To settle down, to have the family, the white picket fence.
00:09:33You get that from her within the first few minutes you see her.
00:09:36Yeah, she can be a little intense.
00:09:38Yeah.
00:09:39When I sat down with her, what comes clear, she's very unique.
00:09:42She has her own ideas about things.
00:09:44She can come across unusual at times.
00:09:49I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:09:55Love comes easily to me.
00:09:57Money comes easily to me frequently and in abundance.
00:10:00Right now, I'm just trying to manifest a husband coming into my life.
00:10:06I am warm, I am happy, I am open.
00:10:10I am amazing, I am beautiful.
00:10:12And I'm ready for the day.
00:10:17I need this experiment to be a part of my life.
00:10:21Because I have said exactly what I want.
00:10:24And hopefully the experts have paired me with someone who's wanting exactly what I want.
00:10:30I do things in my life that call it in, calling love.
00:10:35I have an empty drawer for the possibility of someone coming into my life.
00:10:42I have a vision board in my room.
00:10:46I physically have the word love.
00:10:49Literally, I have pictures on a cork board.
00:10:53And I feel like if I have it physically there, the universe will listen.
00:11:00I mean, that's some serious commitment to love.
00:11:03I'm not everyone's cup of tea.
00:11:06But I'm real, I'm genuine.
00:11:09I wear my heart on my sleeve.
00:11:11And I know what I want.
00:11:13And I always go for it.
00:11:15It will come to me when the universe is ready for it to happen.
00:11:20One of the things that I think comes through from both of them is passion.
00:11:24They're passionate about their life.
00:11:26They're passionate about their goals.
00:11:28They're passionate about their values.
00:11:30And I think ultimately this could really be something that they match well on.
00:11:37Andrew and Holly.
00:11:41Well, next up, I'd like to talk about Cody and Selena.
00:11:46And the word that comes to mind when I think of these two is resilience.
00:11:50Absolutely.
00:11:52It's interesting.
00:11:53They've both been through some very difficult, tough life situations.
00:11:57And they've both been able to come to the other side.
00:12:00There's a certain, I think, elasticity they have with dealing with hard situations
00:12:05that is probably going to be very helpful for them to bond over.
00:12:09I think with Selena, she's had her fair share of adversity.
00:12:13She's grown up in an Asian family but in a white community.
00:12:18And she talks about feeling quite isolated and left out, excluded.
00:12:24She's been torn between trying to fit into that
00:12:27but also trying to cope with the pressures that she's received from her family growing up.
00:12:34If my mum could pick me the perfect husband, he would look like Kim Jong-il
00:12:40and have a multi-million dollar company in China
00:12:43and I would be his fourth wife or something.
00:12:46And she would be like, oh, very good man.
00:12:51Be very good.
00:12:52I'm like, why, because he's rich?
00:12:58A bit of tea.
00:13:00Are these new?
00:13:01Yeah, they're all brand new.
00:13:03My parents show their love through shelter, education and food.
00:13:10That's like, we love you.
00:13:12Even if you say to them, oh, I love you mum, she'll be like, what do you want?
00:13:18We're waiting for you to get married.
00:13:20The sooner the better.
00:13:23This year will be nice.
00:13:29My parents were both born in Cambodia.
00:13:32So they're survivors of the Khmer Rouge War.
00:13:36My dad actually came over as an orphan.
00:13:40So my parents are very, like, traditional people and we're quite,
00:13:44like, we're very proud of our culture.
00:13:46I'd like you to meet a decent man that comes from a very good family.
00:13:50Yeah.
00:13:51And respect mum and your dad as well.
00:13:54As you guys know, it's been a real struggle for me to find someone special.
00:14:02Mm-hmm.
00:14:04So there are three experts that have found me my soul mate.
00:14:12OK.
00:14:13I haven't met him yet.
00:14:15We're going to get married.
00:14:17Oh.
00:14:23I'm, like, definitely the black sheep of the family.
00:14:27It was much to my parents' disappointment when I told them
00:14:31I wanted to leave school to pursue a career in hairdressing.
00:14:37Wow.
00:14:38I can't believe it.
00:14:39So I would be pretty devastated if they didn't approve of me.
00:14:44So hopefully you guys will approve and I have your blessing.
00:14:50Actually, not 100% approve of you.
00:15:02Do you kind of feel like it's just, like, one more thing
00:15:04that they just disapprove of?
00:15:06Yeah, it's definitely just added to the list of everything else
00:15:09that they've disapproved of and brought shame to the family again.
00:15:21I feel like I've never experienced, like, unconditional love.
00:15:27I need help.
00:15:29I need someone good.
00:15:31No Kim Jong-il, no old, bald Asian man.
00:15:40I definitely want someone that looks after themselves.
00:15:44Someone that's my equal.
00:15:47Someone that loves me for who I am.
00:15:51And we just both empower each other and, yeah.
00:15:54Go on adventures and have fun together.
00:15:59I'm that kind of person that loves adventure.
00:16:03So if someone says, do you want to come to Europe?
00:16:05I'm probably going to go to Europe.
00:16:08I've done that much travelling around the world.
00:16:10But, like, most of it was by myself.
00:16:15Yeah, of course I feel lonely.
00:16:17Like, I just want someone to share these experiences with.
00:16:20I'm just done being solo.
00:16:23I want someone there to experience what life has to offer.
00:16:27All the good parts and the fun parts.
00:16:30Because, obviously, life is fragile.
00:16:37When I was 15, my dad passed away.
00:16:42He had a heart attack.
00:16:44I was at that point where I was actually starting to enjoy beer with him.
00:16:47We started to talk about girls.
00:16:50Yeah, like, having that taken away from you.
00:16:53It's hard.
00:16:55People would just sort of go out of their way to check I was OK.
00:16:59The last thing I wanted was to be treated differently.
00:17:02There's nothing worse than when people look at you as if you were broken.
00:17:05So I built up some walls through that.
00:17:08It's like, you know, it's like, you know,
00:17:10people look at you as if you were broken.
00:17:12So I built up some walls through that.
00:17:17Does it worry you, being seen as vulnerable?
00:17:19Yeah.
00:17:20Yeah.
00:17:22I like people to see me as that energetic person.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25Being seen as very vulnerable, to me, I was always, I guess, a sign of weakness.
00:17:30What if I said to you that vulnerability is actually a strength?
00:17:36For many men in relationships, that can be your superpower.
00:17:39Showing vulnerability.
00:17:42I think with this experiment, it's going to force me out of my comfort zone.
00:17:46I am definitely willing to give it a go, because I do really want to find love.
00:17:54The thing about these two is that they both refuse to be defined by the hardships they've faced.
00:18:01And they both play by their own rules.
00:18:05I think this can be a very strong match.
00:18:08Agreed.
00:18:09I love it, Selena and Koli.
00:18:14Next.
00:18:16I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:18:20Will the universe answer Holly's call?
00:18:25And...
00:18:27The most spectacular wedding in Laff's history.
00:18:33Plus...
00:18:35Our first six couples begin their honeymoons...
00:18:43Where they'll face some hard truths.
00:18:48Are you attracted to me?
00:18:58I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:19:02I'm warm, I am happy, I am open.
00:19:06I am great.
00:19:08I am amazing.
00:19:10I am beautiful.
00:19:12I'm real and I'm here and I deserve to have a special day.
00:19:17My goodness.
00:19:19Today is incredibly important to me because I have been manifesting this for years and years now.
00:19:25And finally, what I want will manifest and become real today.
00:19:31Yes.
00:19:48I deserve to be loved.
00:19:51Sorry.
00:19:53Yeah, I deserve to be loved.
00:19:55And I deserve to have a family of my own and I'm looking forward to it.
00:20:02Will the universe answer Holly's call?
00:20:06I have been married twice before and I want this one to be the one.
00:20:12I want to have a life partner.
00:20:14I'm done searching.
00:20:17I love you, bubba.
00:20:18Yes, I do have an amazing little daughter and she means the world to me.
00:20:22I love you, daddy.
00:20:23I miss you.
00:20:24It's very important that the person that I end up marrying, for one, wants kids or wants to be around somebody with kids,
00:20:31but somebody who could be a mother figure and be a positive influence in her life.
00:20:35But yeah, I want them to want that in their life.
00:20:40Channeling his skills as a motivational coach, Andrew is preparing the ultimate romantic gesture for his unknown wife.
00:20:49I'm writing my beautiful future bride a letter.
00:20:55I'm pretty nervous myself so I could imagine she's experiencing the same feelings I'm feeling.
00:20:59So maybe I can ease her mind a little bit and just let her know why I'm here and maybe give her a little bit of reassurance.
00:21:07Yeah, I'm trying to be a romantic.
00:21:15Hello.
00:21:16Hello, darling.
00:21:17Hi.
00:21:18Hi, mummy.
00:21:19Holly's mum and sisters have arrived to celebrate her impending nuptials and come bearing mail.
00:21:26A letter from the groom.
00:21:27Oh, you look beautiful.
00:21:28Oh, thank you, mummy.
00:21:29To the future wifey.
00:21:30Oh, my goodness.
00:21:32Oh, wow.
00:21:33It's heavy.
00:21:34I love it.
00:21:35How cute.
00:21:38To my future wife.
00:21:43I am sure you're sitting there with a thousand thoughts going through your mind.
00:21:48There may be some doubt, some fear or perhaps you're super excited.
00:21:53You're probably wondering what I'm like, what I look like, what I sound like and how I act.
00:22:03I can't promise that I'm going to be everything that you dreamed about.
00:22:07What I can promise you is my commitment to you and this experiment.
00:22:13I'm going to show up for you and also help support you through this.
00:22:17This is such an extraordinary opportunity for the both of us to have an amazing experience together
00:22:22and also the opportunity to find true love.
00:22:26I'm sitting here going through all of the same emotions you're experiencing,
00:22:31but I have peace knowing that I am fully capable of being a good man to you.
00:22:36It won't be long now and I can't wait to see your smile and your future husband.
00:22:41That's pretty.
00:22:43This is a clean experiment.
00:22:45A personal touch too.
00:22:48That's really nice.
00:22:50It's gone.
00:22:53Sounds like a good man on paper.
00:22:55I know on paper, perfect on paper.
00:22:57Hopefully not long now.
00:22:59That letter, it was real and it was beautiful.
00:23:04That's the man that we want to see.
00:23:06It means the world to me knowing that not only he was thinking about me,
00:23:10but he wanted me to know that he's there waiting for me.
00:23:12I hope that the love of my life will be standing at the altar today.
00:23:42I love you.
00:23:48Hello, how are you?
00:23:54I know, I'm really excited.
00:24:00We're close. I can feel it. I can feel the nerves.
00:24:03I'm getting short of breath.
00:24:05I'm about to step on the mat.
00:24:07I feel like I'm about to literally go wrestle somebody.
00:24:10I'm definitely not going to wrestle my wife.
00:24:13In my job as a motivational speaker, I tell people every day,
00:24:18you literally can create any reality that you want,
00:24:21if you're willing to push past fear.
00:24:25It's the unfamiliar, the uncertainty, the anticipation.
00:24:31These are all these feelings that just keep going and going.
00:24:34Usually I have one or two at a time.
00:24:36This is like six feelings at the same time.
00:24:38If you want something in your life, you can create any reality that you want.
00:24:42And the reality that I'm manifesting right now is just a love that comes from a partner
00:24:48and a committed relationship.
00:24:50I want a woman who's going to set my soul on fire.
00:24:53Who wants to be a mother.
00:24:55And who I want to bring into my daughter's life.
00:24:59Oh my God.
00:25:01I am actually doing this.
00:25:03I am actually doing this.
00:25:06Well, I'll see you in there.
00:25:08Yep.
00:25:09Get ready for the first day of the rest of your life.
00:25:10Yes.
00:25:11I'm excited for you.
00:25:23I've been manifesting a partner for a long time.
00:25:28I am 100% ready to meet my wife.
00:25:31I was made for this moment.
00:25:33This is going to be a defining moment in my life.
00:25:36So, yeehaw.
00:25:38Let's do it.
00:25:42Hello.
00:25:43Hello.
00:25:44I'm Andrew.
00:25:45Nice to meet you.
00:25:46Nice to meet you as well.
00:25:47I'm Andrew.
00:25:48I'm Sam.
00:25:49Nice to meet you as well.
00:25:50I'm guessing you're the sisters?
00:25:51I'm sister mum.
00:25:52Both sisters?
00:25:53I'm mum.
00:25:58The charm's coming out already.
00:26:00I am from the south, so there's a little southern charm there.
00:26:04Just as long as it's not Texas.
00:26:08See?
00:26:10Dallas, Texas.
00:26:11Born and raised.
00:26:14I wasn't a very good Texan though, I don't think.
00:26:16So, that's why I made my way to Sydney.
00:26:18Do you have an oil farm?
00:26:21What was that?
00:26:22Oil farm?
00:26:24Well, you never know.
00:26:30I never thought in a million years that I would be 36 without a husband and a baby.
00:26:38But I've had to learn how to let go of everything I can't control and just let things come to me.
00:26:46Oh, I wonder if this is where we're going.
00:26:48That looks very pretty.
00:26:50I still try my best and I still tell the universe everything that I want in life.
00:26:56To be married, to have a child, to be loved.
00:27:01Actual castle.
00:27:03Fit for a queen.
00:27:06Sorry, hey lady.
00:27:07Can I just get you to face me?
00:27:08Oh, sorry.
00:27:09Something's about to happen then.
00:27:18With every inch of my body and soul, I hope this works out for me.
00:27:25I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:27:30I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:27:34I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:27:38I've said it out loud and I believe that the universe will listen.
00:27:49I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:27:55I am open to giving and receiving love.
00:28:18Hi.
00:28:19Hello, how are you?
00:28:20I'm good, how are you?
00:28:21You look amazing.
00:28:23Hi, I'm Holly.
00:28:24I'm Andrew.
00:28:25Can you help me with this?
00:28:26Yes, of course.
00:28:27Thanks.
00:28:31Good?
00:28:32Amazing.
00:28:33You nervous?
00:28:34Yeah.
00:28:35Okay.
00:28:39I got you.
00:28:41I got your letter.
00:28:42Oh, good.
00:28:43I meant every word I said to you in that letter.
00:28:46I got you.
00:28:47Yeah?
00:28:48I got you.
00:28:49Okay.
00:28:51I was excited when I saw her.
00:28:52I felt a little, yeah, there was something there.
00:28:55Like right when I saw her.
00:28:56She's gorgeous.
00:28:57Gorgeous girl.
00:29:00So how did we end up here?
00:29:01Oh, well, clearly the universe put us here.
00:29:04I like that.
00:29:05That's good stuff.
00:29:06I like that.
00:29:07My kind of girl.
00:29:08I like that.
00:29:09We're here for a reason.
00:29:10That is exactly right.
00:29:11Very in line with that.
00:29:12I love that.
00:29:13Everything in life brought us here.
00:29:15That is exactly right.
00:29:17Andrew's definitely a good looking guy for sure.
00:29:19Big, beautiful blue eyes and a beautiful smile.
00:29:22Like a beautiful smile.
00:29:25I put my faith in the universe and I think he's everything I've asked for.
00:29:31You have an accent.
00:29:32I do.
00:29:33I'm southern.
00:29:34Southern American.
00:29:35What do you think?
00:29:36Oh, my goodness.
00:29:37Yeah, no, it's great.
00:29:38Where do you think I'm from?
00:29:39No idea?
00:29:40No idea.
00:29:41Texas.
00:29:42So I'm legal.
00:29:43Yeah, we're not breaking any laws.
00:29:45No, no, no.
00:29:46Not breaking any laws, mom.
00:29:47I promise.
00:29:48It's not happening.
00:29:49No.
00:29:50Oh, my God.
00:29:51Wow.
00:29:52Crazy.
00:29:53Dallas, Texas.
00:29:54Wow.
00:29:55Yeah.
00:29:58We are gathered here today to celebrate the coming together of two very special people,
00:30:03Holly and Andrew.
00:30:10Holly.
00:30:13I'm sure you've heard the saying, everything is bigger in Texas.
00:30:17And that does include my heart.
00:30:21Us Texas boys don't know how to quit, so rest assured I will fight for us throughout this experience.
00:30:26A day will not go by where you don't feel appreciated.
00:30:30I've traveled over 16,000 kilometers in search of love, which has led me to this place here and now.
00:30:39I vow to be your best friend throughout this, to listen to you, to be there for you,
00:30:44to be your teammate and your partner.
00:30:48We're going to have an amazing time, and I'm so glad I get to spend it with you as your husband.
00:30:59Good job.
00:31:13Savage Garden once said,
00:31:17I knew I loved you before I met you.
00:31:22And Michael BublƩ said, I just haven't met you yet.
00:31:26Now that we have met, I hope we both find what we are looking for on this incredible journey we are about to embark.
00:31:36I am here to find my soulmate.
00:31:39Nothing is more important to me than to find a partner who will make me a priority and equally desires to start our own little family.
00:31:48You will learn very soon that I have a big heart and a lot of love to give.
00:31:53I hope you are as equally open to giving and receiving love as I am.
00:31:59I can offer you an ocean of warmth and support to be stronger both together as a couple and as individuals.
00:32:09You nailed it. That was beautiful. Well done.
00:32:17I do believe that I put in the work to manifest this somehow.
00:32:22I do think that Holly can give me what I'm looking for and what I'm wanting.
00:32:26I just feel like I'm right where I need to be.
00:32:32Do you, Andrew, take Holly to be your partner from this day forward?
00:32:36Yes, 100%.
00:32:40Do you, Holly, take Andrew to be your partner from this day forward?
00:32:44I do.
00:32:46That always helps.
00:32:48It is my absolute pleasure to pronounce you husband and wife.
00:32:52You may now kiss your bride.
00:32:54Mother?
00:33:00Holly and Andrew!
00:33:06Now I've got a face and a name to the letter and I think that he translates from paper to in person.
00:33:15But, my goodness, American, Texas, oh my God.
00:33:23Andrew, I believe you're from Texas, yeah?
00:33:25I am from Texas.
00:33:27Yee-haw!
00:33:30I'm thinking guns andā¦
00:33:32Where's the cowboy hat?
00:33:34Anti-abortion laws andā¦
00:33:36Holly, can you do a Texan yee-haw, both together?
00:33:39One, two, three, and go.
00:33:41Yee-haw!
00:33:42Trump is just coming through my head.
00:33:45She nailed it. She's definitely a cowboy.
00:33:48This guy could be, you know, the father of my children.
00:33:51Big laugh, one, two, three, and look.
00:33:53Oh, wonderful!
00:33:55So, my goodness, it's kind of scary.
00:34:03On the outskirts of Sydney, Selena and Cody are moments from meeting for the first time at the end of the aisle.
00:34:11What is that?
00:34:14Going it alone today, they've both received messages of support from loved ones.
00:34:21Another pair of Speedos. It sums me up pretty well, but very much fitted to the occasion.
00:34:29So, we're all set for tonight. We're going to be building up a lot of heat.
00:34:33It's one way to make an impression, isn't it?
00:34:41I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I've been waiting for this day, like, literally my whole life.
00:34:51Obviously, as a hairdresser, doing weddings every weekend, the, like, brides, they always say,
00:34:58how are you going, babe? You've met anyone yet? Are you married? You've got kids?
00:35:03I'm like, no, still living my best single life.
00:35:07Today is the day that every girl dreams about.
00:35:12I thought this day would never happen.
00:35:15I'm so used to being on my own.
00:35:18As a child, you know, going to school, I was kind of, like, invisible, or I was picked on because I was different.
00:35:27But now, I'm, like, hours away from marrying a complete stranger.
00:35:31Hopefully, my soulmate.
00:35:33I am, yeah, starting to feel really excited now.
00:35:42I'm eager to get married.
00:35:44This is what all the lead-up has been about.
00:35:47All this anticipation, just waiting to see what she's going to be like.
00:35:52What I'm hoping for is someone who's confident with who they are.
00:35:55Someone who's cheerful and excited to take on the next adventure with me.
00:36:26It seems so surreal.
00:36:30I've had a lot of loss in the past.
00:36:33And through that, I've learned that life is fragile.
00:36:37So, I just live in the moment, enjoy everything that life has to offer, all the experiences.
00:36:45I'm just going to keep going.
00:36:47I'm going to keep going.
00:36:49I'm going to keep going.
00:36:51I'm going to keep going.
00:36:53I'm going to keep going.
00:36:55I'm going to keep going.
00:37:00I'm always seeking, like, that next adventure.
00:37:06Marrying someone I've never met could be the biggest adventure, for sure.
00:37:26I just want someone to build memories and a future together.
00:37:30There you go.
00:37:33Someone to stand behind me and love.
00:37:38Someone to nudge and say, wow, look where we are, look at what we've done together.
00:37:47I can't believe this is actually happening.
00:37:49I'm, like, so crazy for doing this.
00:37:52Love growing up just always came with some kind of condition.
00:37:56But I feel like I have so much love to give.
00:38:04It's my time to find love.
00:38:07I'm not going to sacrifice any more to make my parents happy.
00:38:15I've always dreamt of being in this position.
00:38:17I've always dreamt of being in this position.
00:38:22And I'm finally here.
00:38:28I am so ready.
00:38:30I actually experience unconditional love for the first time in my life.
00:38:39That's all I've ever wanted.
00:38:47Hi.
00:38:49How are you?
00:38:51I'm good.
00:38:53You look incredible.
00:38:55You look amazing.
00:38:57Wow.
00:38:59I'm Selena.
00:39:01Cody, nice to meet you.
00:39:03Nice to meet you.
00:39:05Can I hug you?
00:39:07Yes.
00:39:09This is crazy, hey?
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:13I'll borrow one of your hands.
00:39:15I'm a bit sweaty, sorry.
00:39:17It's alright, a bit nervous, a bit anxious.
00:39:20But it's crazy, huh?
00:39:22It is.
00:39:24Oh my God, you're so cute.
00:39:26It's okay.
00:39:28We got this.
00:39:30I think Cody's adorable.
00:39:34I just feel a sense of relief.
00:39:36Like, thank God.
00:39:39Our, like, couple name will be, like,
00:39:43Colina.
00:39:45Colina?
00:39:47She'd be great.
00:39:49I can work with that.
00:39:51Is this your natural colour?
00:39:54Yeah.
00:39:56I'm not judging.
00:39:58I'm a hairdresser.
00:40:00So, Selena, she's a bit quirky.
00:40:05So whereabouts are you from?
00:40:09Is that a possum in the tree?
00:40:12I think it is a good thing.
00:40:15You're more restless than I am.
00:40:17Yeah, I get, like, happy energy.
00:40:19Well, that's good, that's what we want.
00:40:21A little Pikachu, like.
00:40:27Selena and Cody, you are both here to find love
00:40:31and the forever relationship you have been seeking all of your life.
00:40:35One which will hopefully stand the test of time.
00:40:38Now, it is time for your vows.
00:40:41Selena, how lucky I am to be standing here in front of you today.
00:40:46I'm itching to get to know you,
00:40:48to hear about your stories and experiences.
00:40:51I've always been very independent and adventurous.
00:40:54However, as I've grown and matured,
00:40:57I've realised that playing by your own rules
00:40:59doesn't always result in the happiness you're searching for.
00:41:02At times, it's lonely.
00:41:05What I want, what I miss, is a partner.
00:41:07A lover, a best friend
00:41:09to form new incredible memories with as a team.
00:41:13So, although I may come across as a happy-go-lucky, carefree guy,
00:41:17please know, Selena, I will put you first.
00:41:20Oh, that was beautiful. Thank you.
00:41:23I honestly get a really down-to-earth vibe with Cody.
00:41:27Like, I feel like he's a really sweet, genuine guy.
00:41:32Very happy girl.
00:41:36Just give me a second.
00:41:41Cody, for a long time, I'd lost hope in ever finding love
00:41:46and I never understood why things didn't turn out for me the way I had hoped.
00:41:50Because of all of this, I decided to dedicate my life to my career.
00:41:55I've seen all my clients go through the amazing journey
00:41:58of being there for their hens, their engagement parties, weddings,
00:42:01to seeing them come in with their beautiful round bellies,
00:42:04to now cutting their children's hair.
00:42:07I dream of the day when my clients will ask me how I am
00:42:10and I can finally respond with,
00:42:12Oh my God, I've met my soulmate.
00:42:15I'm a big believer that everything happens for a reason
00:42:18and I truly believe that the universe has led me to you
00:42:21and I trust that with every fibre of my body.
00:42:24I hope that you will be patient, kind and loving.
00:42:27I'm so grateful to be going on this crazy, exciting adventure with you.
00:42:31I hope that we will not only be husband and wife,
00:42:34but also teammates, besties, each other's biggest cheerleaders
00:42:39and have so much fun together that a trip to the grocery store
00:42:42will be like a trip to Ibiza.
00:42:44Here's to the start of our happily ever after.
00:42:47I love you.
00:42:49I love you.
00:42:51I love you.
00:42:53I love you.
00:42:55I love you.
00:42:57You nailed that, that was awesome.
00:43:01And so without any further ado,
00:43:04I'm now extremely happy to pronounce you both husband and wife.
00:43:09Cody, you may kiss your bride.
00:43:17Finally married!
00:43:19Oh my God, I'm stoked.
00:43:21I'm just stoked.
00:43:24It's like the universe has just rewarded me with this amazing marriage.
00:43:30I'm going to get a couple of nice romantic shots now,
00:43:33just come in nice and close together guys, bring your heads in.
00:43:36We're married.
00:43:38I feel good, do you feel good right now?
00:43:44Selena seems so ecstatic.
00:43:47That's great guys.
00:43:49Like every time I turn around she's smiling.
00:43:52It's fabulous, it's really good.
00:43:58But it's also making me a little bit uneasy.
00:44:08You're doing great sweetie.
00:44:10Husband.
00:44:12I'm great, but I'm not that great.
00:44:15Oh, that's so snug.
00:44:17Yeah, it's a bit too much.
00:44:18I'm a bit stumped on just how to handle the situation.
00:44:22And a little bridal kiss for me would be wonderful.
00:44:25I've just gotten married to someone I've known for what, 20 minutes?
00:44:29I'm really worried she's really going to dive in quickly here.
00:44:32Is it now?
00:44:34I don't know.
00:44:36We're like married.
00:44:49Cheers.
00:44:51Cheers guys.
00:44:53In Sydney,
00:44:55Cheers to your beautiful wedding eh?
00:44:57Holly is still getting her head around the fact that the universe delivered her new husband Andrew all the way from Texas.
00:45:05What were some of the things that you wanted in a partner that you were looking for?
00:45:09Look, I've put them on paper and on paper, you're looking good on paper, let me tell you.
00:45:15So good.
00:45:16So good.
00:45:18Like just kind, sweet.
00:45:20Texan?
00:45:22Texan, clearly.
00:45:24Head in, Texan.
00:45:26Yeah, that was a surprise.
00:45:28I don't know what I was expecting.
00:45:32I guess, I wasn't expecting an accent, that's for sure.
00:45:36Heard the accent and I was like, what?
00:45:39Go real Texan on you tonight.
00:45:41Okay.
00:45:43Giddy up partner.
00:45:44He seems lovely.
00:45:47He seems warm.
00:45:49Clearly he's a long way from home.
00:45:52They had us yeehawing for the photo shoot.
00:45:56Do we have a hat as well?
00:45:58That's funny, that was on the cards.
00:46:00Yeah.
00:46:02So many things are running through my mind.
00:46:04Like Trump.
00:46:06Oh my god, were you actually going to show up in like a cowboy hat?
00:46:09I wouldn't have done that to you.
00:46:11I know that some people from the south, they're like guns.
00:46:14Yeah, well I left it in the limo then.
00:46:16Yeah, right.
00:46:18I left my six shooter too.
00:46:24Yeah, maybe I'm a little caught off guard.
00:46:28It's kind of dawning on me that I'm doing this crazy thing with a complete stranger.
00:46:33You actually do cowboy stuff?
00:46:35My family have farms in Oklahoma and Texas and cattle.
00:46:40And I grew up raising, help raising cattle, milking cows.
00:46:42I think political views reflect on what you value in life and what you want for your life.
00:46:51This guy could be the father of my children.
00:46:55So yeah, I think it is kind of important.
00:46:59So none of you have ever been to Texas, no?
00:47:02No.
00:47:04People in Texas don't typically leave Texas.
00:47:06They usually don't have passports.
00:47:08My family didn't have passports until I was 19 years old.
00:47:11Yeah.
00:47:13I never thought I'd live in Australia.
00:47:15I mean, this is like, if your dad told me this six years ago, I'd be like, no, what?
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:21So, why'd you come to Australia?
00:47:27I came over in 2017 for a girl that I met in Texas.
00:47:32Been here for five years.
00:47:34But you're here for good.
00:47:36I am. Yeah.
00:47:38I have a three year old daughter.
00:47:41Her name is Madison.
00:47:43She's, yeah, everything to me.
00:47:47That solidified just being my home.
00:47:50What are your feelings about that?
00:47:55You're okay with me having a child?
00:47:57Yeah, absolutely.
00:47:59Oh, that was such a quick answer. That's all I needed to hear.
00:48:01The fact how quick that was, no need for a follow up.
00:48:06I told her I had a daughter, and Holly accepted that really well.
00:48:10She put me at ease.
00:48:12It's a feeling that I really can't describe, because it's not happened a lot.
00:48:16And you said you did want children.
00:48:18Yes, yeah.
00:48:21Yeah, I do.
00:48:23Multiple, or one, two, three?
00:48:25Oh, look, two would be nice, because I've had sisters.
00:48:28But, at this age, I'd be grateful for one.
00:48:32Amazing.
00:48:34Him revealing that he is a father, I can see his desire for a family of his own,
00:48:40a family unit.
00:48:42And I think it's clear that we are on a similar path.
00:48:45It really just makes him so much more attractive to me.
00:48:48This has really worked out well, I think.
00:48:50Like, I wasn't, I guess, expecting.
00:48:52Texan hunk.
00:48:54It's a damn good star, that's for sure.
00:48:56Yeehaw!
00:48:58But, yeah, he looks like he's got really nice arms.
00:49:00So, yeah.
00:49:03Guns.
00:49:05Texan guns. Oh, God.
00:49:07Texan guns.
00:49:10Yeah.
00:49:16How cute is this?
00:49:18After a spectacular bush wedding, and a photo shoot where a very excitable Selena came on strong...
00:49:25Oh, will you pull up my seat for me?
00:49:27...hesitant Cody is hoping an intimate reception dinner will be just the thing to settle his new wife's energy.
00:49:36We should get matching tattoos.
00:49:41Can you imagine, though?
00:49:43Oh, yeah.
00:49:45I'm so happy!
00:49:47You have no idea, I'm stoked.
00:49:49I'm over the moon.
00:49:51I am.
00:49:53I can't see myself getting a tattoo.
00:49:55Oh, we just clicked.
00:49:57It was just an instant, like, yeah.
00:50:04Like, we just got along so well.
00:50:06So, do you live with someone?
00:50:09Yeah, I've got a flatmate at the moment.
00:50:11We've got, like, a house, so plenty of space.
00:50:14Like, a guy or a girl?
00:50:18A guy.
00:50:20He's just one of my good mates, yeah.
00:50:22Oh, interesting.
00:50:24Yeah.
00:50:25What about yourself?
00:50:27Just me and my plant babies.
00:50:29If I were to ever move in with someone, I think I'd move in with Cody.
00:50:33If I were to ever move in with someone or have someone move in with me, it'd be a partner.
00:50:40Not a roomie.
00:50:44Yeah.
00:50:46Yeah, Selena's energy is full on.
00:50:49She seems just, like, just going 0 to 100, like, bad.
00:50:54Do you snore?
00:50:56I don't know.
00:50:58I don't think I snore.
00:51:00Like, sometimes I do snore.
00:51:01That's good.
00:51:03She's very forward.
00:51:05What do you think is, like, the main thing that you would like out of a relationship?
00:51:10It's a funny question, hey.
00:51:13I just want a companion.
00:51:15Yeah.
00:51:17I'm looking forward to getting to know her, but I'm thinking, I've just met her.
00:51:21Do you see yourself ever having kids or anything one day?
00:51:25Oh, my gosh.
00:51:27How much more will this escalate?
00:51:28I always thought, like, one day I'll have my own family.
00:51:32You know, hopefully if I meet my right person.
00:51:35Oh, she's having no pressure.
00:51:38I want to assume that we're having a baby.
00:51:41No.
00:51:44That was a big jump.
00:51:48Let's just slow it down a wee bit, shall we?
00:51:51Not, like, kids straight away.
00:51:53Like, ease up.
00:51:55But I mean, I definitely hope within the next few years.
00:52:02Cool.
00:52:15Do you see yourself ever having kids or anything one day?
00:52:19Oh, my gosh.
00:52:21I want to assume that we're having a baby.
00:52:24Far out.
00:52:28Well, like, not, like, you know, not, like, kids straight away.
00:52:33But I mean, I definitely hope within the next few years.
00:52:37Cool.
00:52:45I have a big, long track record of coming on too strong.
00:52:51I do get, you know, too excited.
00:52:55Oh, dear.
00:52:57That's the thing, that I do, I do really like the guy.
00:53:01So I just don't want to scare him off.
00:53:05I mean, we're obviously here to start a future together.
00:53:11But, like, maybe I need to tone it down a little bit.
00:53:15Because I just met the guy.
00:53:18How embarrassing.
00:53:20Oh.
00:53:24So, yeah, do you work at a salon or?
00:53:27Yes, so I work for a salon during the weekdays.
00:53:32And then on the weekends, I'm out doing this stuff.
00:53:35So I actually get brides ready for their wedding.
00:53:38OK, yeah, cool.
00:53:40It's great, I love it.
00:53:42Fun. It's hard work, though.
00:53:44Yeah.
00:53:46It's, like, long hours.
00:53:47I'm home soaking my feet every night.
00:53:49Jeez.
00:53:51In, like, excruciating pain.
00:53:53It's a balance, that's crazy.
00:53:55It's, yeah.
00:53:58I feel like my parents had such high expectations of me growing up.
00:54:04They wanted me to be a doctor and a lawyer.
00:54:06Because of all of that, I've just, like, drowned myself into work.
00:54:09I've literally dedicated half my life to hair and my clients.
00:54:17You're right.
00:54:19I feel like I do need to probably, like, step back and enjoy myself a little bit more.
00:54:31So do you get along with new parents?
00:54:33Uh, we get along, but we're not super close.
00:54:38OK.
00:54:39If that makes any sense.
00:54:40Yeah.
00:54:41Yeah.
00:54:42What about you?
00:54:44I don't like it.
00:54:51Yeah, when I was 15, Dad passed away.
00:54:54Really?
00:54:56So his heart gave out.
00:54:58It's sad, it's one of those things.
00:55:00Like, it was an interesting, like, yeah, that fledging period, like every teenager, when you're, like, growing up a bit.
00:55:07It's a hard thing to comprehend.
00:55:09Like, Dad was quite literally the person I admired most.
00:55:13It was rough, and, um, yeah, it had a big impact.
00:55:19But, um, yeah.
00:55:23Gosh, that must be so hard.
00:55:30Do you feel like it's made you, like, not take life for granted?
00:55:34Yeah, I guess it's like, it just gives you perspective, do you know what I mean?
00:55:36It's like, do you know what?
00:55:38I was lucky enough to have the time that I did.
00:55:40Some people never had that.
00:55:42It's true.
00:55:43So, I don't know.
00:55:45Wow.
00:55:46Yeah, I got through it.
00:55:48Usually I do struggle to talk about those, like, deeper topics.
00:55:51But there's something about Selina that made me realise, like, I do actually want to talk to her about it.
00:55:58I'm a firm believer that everything does happen for a reason, either for a blessing or a lesson.
00:56:03Mm.
00:56:05Just be nice to stop learning lessons, eh?
00:56:07Oh, my God!
00:56:09Thank you!
00:56:10Yes!
00:56:11Oh, my God!
00:56:12Have I not learnt this lesson yet?
00:56:13Can I just graduate now?
00:56:17Just seeing it nice and open up reminded me exactly why I'm here.
00:56:22To find someone to share, not just the good times, but the hard stuff as well.
00:56:28The whole adventure.
00:56:29I don't know if I can finish the rest of this.
00:56:32Send it.
00:56:33Do you want it?
00:56:34Yeah, absolutely.
00:56:35If you're not going to have it.
00:56:37Look, I'm already feeding my husband such a good wife.
00:56:42As Selina and Cody find common ground,
00:56:47Holly is still concerned about her new Texan husband's political leanings.
00:56:53Hey, how's it going?
00:56:55Yeah, good.
00:56:56Good?
00:56:57Yeah, how are you?
00:56:58Yeah, really good.
00:56:59Yeah?
00:57:00Yeah, I'm excited.
00:57:02I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
00:57:04Yeah, like, progression.
00:57:06Everyone says that I'm really intense, but you're really intense.
00:57:09I am.
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:12Are you opinionated?
00:57:13I know I am.
00:57:15I am opinionated.
00:57:17And being Texan, you're going to have some strong Texan opinions.
00:57:21I mean,
00:57:25like, if we're talking about, like, Trump,
00:57:27I didn't vote for Trump.
00:57:28Okay, okay.
00:57:30To be completely honest, I'm not massive on politics, but I understand politics.
00:57:33Yeah, okay.
00:57:34I'm not either.
00:57:35I'm not on that bandwagon, and I never will be.
00:57:39Oh, no, yeah, no Trump.
00:57:41Yeah, he seems, yeah, somewhat not a normal American Texan.
00:57:45Sounds good.
00:57:46You good with that?
00:57:47Yeah, I'm good with that.
00:57:48Sounds good.
00:57:49You good with that?
00:57:50Yeah, I'm good with that.
00:57:51I had a little sigh of relief that he didn't have a Make America Great hat here,
00:57:57hiding in the closet.
00:57:59It made me realize that we do have the same values,
00:58:01and he truly is, I think, a prince charming.
00:58:04We've got good foundations.
00:58:06Yeah.
00:58:07Take it slow.
00:58:08There's no rush at all.
00:58:09Yeah.
00:58:10I'm not going anywhere.
00:58:11Well, you're coming back to my hotel room tonight.
00:58:12So, well, you are.
00:58:14On that note, you're ready to go.
00:58:15Yeah, and on that note, let's head back to the famskies.
00:58:18With her fears laid to rest...
00:58:20This is the two-step.
00:58:22Holly is ready to take the next step into her new marriage.
00:58:26All right, here we go.
00:58:27I'm going to teach you, okay?
00:58:28Okay, all right.
00:58:29It's two-step forward, one-step back.
00:58:30Okay.
00:58:39Yeehaw!
00:58:46Having just married a complete stranger,
00:58:49our two newest couples are ready to embark
00:58:52on the next chapter of the experiment.
00:58:56We got us a note.
00:58:57Oh!
00:58:58There's a letter for us!
00:58:59Cute.
00:59:00Yay!
00:59:01Donald.
00:59:02Good morning, newlyweds.
00:59:03Congratulations.
00:59:04We hope you enjoyed your big day
00:59:06and your first night as a husband and wife.
00:59:09Of course, like any newly married couple,
00:59:12your next step is the honeymoon.
00:59:13You're off to bask in the sweeping views
00:59:16over the golden sands of the iconic Palm Beach.
00:59:19Ultimate getaway at the luxurious and romantic retreat
00:59:22in the Hunter Valley.
00:59:23Oh!
00:59:24I've never been to Hunter Valley.
00:59:25Oh, really?
00:59:26I've never been.
00:59:27And Holly is excited to play local tour guide
00:59:30for Texan husband Andrew.
00:59:32Are you a red or a white?
00:59:34I can do both.
00:59:35It's got to be good.
00:59:37And perhaps his own personal sommelier.
00:59:40So, for white, I've got a red.
00:59:42So, for white, I'll go like a French Chablis,
00:59:44but like an, I don't know,
00:59:46kind of like a nice, like a Chardonnay,
00:59:48but it's got to be really nice.
00:59:49So, yeah.
00:59:50Chablis is somewhat of a French Chardonnay.
00:59:52Nice.
00:59:53I'm in the region of Chablis,
00:59:54so it's like a Riesling, kind of a dry Riesling.
00:59:56Red, like a light Pima Noire.
00:59:58Cool.
00:59:59Malbert.
01:00:02I just, I can't find my shoes.
01:00:04Where did I put them?
01:00:06Following their first night as husband and wife,
01:00:09free spirit Cody has woken up with some hesitation
01:00:13towards his enthusiastic new bride.
01:00:16Packing is the worst.
01:00:18The vibe is really good.
01:00:20Like, we are so comfortable.
01:00:23Nice.
01:00:24I like it.
01:00:25Yeah, it sort of matches.
01:00:26I've got a green on green.
01:00:27I guess the only concern would be,
01:00:29yeah, the initial attraction,
01:00:31it's not quite as much as I would have liked.
01:00:34I'm not sure what the issue is.
01:00:36I just don't know that there's that real spark.
01:00:39OK.
01:00:42Is that something you want to change?
01:00:44Yeah, obviously.
01:00:45I do want to change it.
01:00:47She's my wife.
01:00:49I was hoping it would come a bit easier,
01:00:51but it's not.
01:00:53Let's go.
01:00:56We're off.
01:00:57Hopefully, yeah, we can find that spark.
01:01:00But, yeah.
01:01:01There's no rush.
01:01:02There's no urgency.
01:01:04I'm not going to force it.
01:01:06Yay!
01:01:07Thanks.
01:01:10As Cody begins work on forming a physical connection with Selena,
01:01:16it is now time to launch the next exciting phase
01:01:19of the Married at First Sight experiment.
01:01:23Wow.
01:01:26Our first four couples...
01:01:28Very pretty.
01:01:29..have just checked in to officially begin their honeymoons.
01:01:33Look at this view.
01:01:35Oh.
01:01:36This is so good.
01:01:37Yeah, wow.
01:01:39Greatness.
01:01:41The honeymoon is the first chance for our couples to be alone
01:01:44with their new partner for an extended period of time...
01:01:47Look at this.
01:01:48..and really find out who they married.
01:01:50Oh, pizza oven!
01:01:52This is the best.
01:01:53Wood-fire pizza.
01:01:54Like, are you kidding me?
01:01:55I'm actually, like...
01:01:56Sorry, I think I'm more excited about the pizza.
01:01:59..sharing intimate space with a new person can be confronting.
01:02:02This is where we're going to talk about our deepest, darkest secrets.
01:02:05It just looks like that place that you would.
01:02:08But...
01:02:10..it's also an opportunity to fast-track romantic connections.
01:02:15It's getting deep here.
01:02:17It's crucial our couples can let their guards down
01:02:21if they want their developing connections to grow.
01:02:24This is huge.
01:02:26How cool.
01:02:29Ooh-la-la.
01:02:31After a fairy-tale start...
01:02:35Wow.
01:02:37She is my bride.
01:02:39Oh, man.
01:02:40I must have died and gone to heaven.
01:02:42Beautiful.
01:02:45..Anthony's zero-to-100 approach
01:02:47was tough for long-time single Celine to swallow.
01:02:51I think definitely the feeding, the spoon feeding,
01:02:53was testing the waters.
01:02:54Oh, I don't...
01:02:55You don't want that?
01:02:56I'm not used to being fed.
01:02:57I'm not a baby. I can do it myself.
01:03:01Despite having asked for an old-school gentleman,
01:03:04Celine is struggling to come to terms with Anthony's chivalry.
01:03:08Around me.
01:03:09Anthony, he is a gentleman.
01:03:11He is, you know, opening my door, carrying my bags and things like that.
01:03:14I'm not used to that.
01:03:15Like, I've always been doing that myself.
01:03:17I'm not used to that.
01:03:18I'm not used to that.
01:03:19Like, I've always been doing that myself.
01:03:21OK.
01:03:23I feel like I'm happy to carry that by myself.
01:03:27Wow.
01:03:28But ever the romantic,
01:03:30Anthony is determined to break down Celine's walls
01:03:34and put her at ease.
01:03:35Let's look at upstairs.
01:03:37I'm starting to sort of realise that Celine's got those guards up
01:03:41and I see the guards as a bit of a wall.
01:03:43They're so pretty.
01:03:46Bathtub's a highlight.
01:03:47Did you get this running?
01:03:48I think to really get to know her
01:03:50and to really sort of break it down into the nitty-gritty,
01:03:53I will need to have patience.
01:03:55Oh, amazing.
01:03:56So, yeah, hopefully we get there.
01:03:59Hopefully we get that connection going.
01:04:04Excited to dial up the romance,
01:04:06Anthony wastes no time in spoiling his bride.
01:04:11It's got to be perfect.
01:04:13Not too hot, not too cold.
01:04:15More hot than cold, though.
01:04:18Temperature's perfecto.
01:04:21This was an opportunity for me
01:04:23to be a little bit romantic for Celine,
01:04:25chip away at that foundation.
01:04:28Every little nice thing that I do,
01:04:30I like to think that she's picking up on.
01:04:33Bath is ready.
01:04:34I hope you like being with Celine.
01:04:38Oh, this is lovely.
01:04:41This is really nice.
01:04:44Let's check if it's perfect.
01:04:49It's a little hot, but by the time I get in,
01:04:52I'm sure it'll be OK.
01:04:53Yeah, yeah.
01:04:55We'll know for next time.
01:04:56It'll be good.
01:04:57All right, so is there, um,
01:04:59is there anything else you'd like me to do?
01:05:01No.
01:05:02No?
01:05:03No.
01:05:04No?
01:05:05All right, so is there, um,
01:05:07anything else I can do for you?
01:05:10Um, no, I'm good.
01:05:12I think she appreciated it.
01:05:14I don't know.
01:05:15I don't know if she appreciated why I did it,
01:05:18but that's OK.
01:05:19No worries.
01:05:21See ya.
01:05:36Shhh.
01:05:39Having just met at the altar 24 hours earlier...
01:05:43This is like our first official date.
01:05:46Oh, we're setting the bar pretty high for our first date here, eh?
01:05:49Yeah, I know.
01:05:50The whirlwind romance continues for Holly and Andrew,
01:05:54who arrive in the Hunter Valley
01:05:56just in time for a honeymoon lunch.
01:05:59As is tradition with celebratory bubbles,
01:06:02Well, I'll finish these glasses
01:06:03and I'll be back with some rosƩs next.
01:06:05Oh, rosƩ all day, I say.
01:06:08Cheers.
01:06:10So me and Holly have been getting along.
01:06:12We are attracted to each other.
01:06:14She's funny and she's fiery.
01:06:15So you slept well last night, yeah?
01:06:17I did.
01:06:18Feeling good today?
01:06:19Yeah.
01:06:20You woke me up with a little bit of snoring.
01:06:21I'll try to work on that.
01:06:24But for single father Andrew,
01:06:26despite his instant connection with his new wife Holly,
01:06:30he's contemplating what impact
01:06:32marrying a stranger will have on his daughter Maddie.
01:06:37One of the biggest challenges with this whole experience
01:06:40is that I'm not just looking for love.
01:06:43I'm looking for somebody to come into my life
01:06:46that my daughter deserves
01:06:48and that's going to take care of her
01:06:50and be a good role model for her
01:06:52and be a good, positive person in her life.
01:06:54And there's a lot riding on this for me,
01:06:57so it just adds another element of,
01:07:00it's not about me, it's about me and my daughter.
01:07:03Of course I'm aware, I'm not unaware.
01:07:06And I know you're missing her.
01:07:09Yeah, yeah.
01:07:10You know, and it's hard.
01:07:13And, you know, I want to be there for you.
01:07:16Give me a second, yeah?
01:07:17Oh baby, oh my goodness, sorry.
01:07:24You're enough for her
01:07:26and you're good, Dad.
01:07:31The fact that you're feeling this
01:07:33and the fact that she's missing you.
01:07:34Yeah.
01:07:35She's so lucky.
01:07:36Yeah.
01:07:37She's so lucky.
01:07:38Yeah, thank you.
01:07:39Just think about how great you are.
01:07:41That makes me happy, yeah, yeah.
01:07:42Think about how great you are.
01:07:44I see the love that you have for her.
01:07:48Yeah.
01:07:50You're amazing.
01:07:51You're amazing.
01:07:53Wait a minute.
01:07:54Oh, I feel better.
01:07:56Yeah?
01:07:57Yeah, I just, I think that that conversation needed to happen.
01:08:00It really did.
01:08:03One of my biggest fears was meeting somebody
01:08:05that doesn't have those motherly qualities.
01:08:08I appreciate you, like, so much.
01:08:10I have no idea.
01:08:11It's together, I get it.
01:08:13It's fine.
01:08:14You can't fake that.
01:08:15And now that I see that she's going to be there
01:08:18if I'm having a down moment, she's a champion.
01:08:23Yeah.
01:08:25Andrew, he's a special guy.
01:08:27He's clearly a warm father.
01:08:29So, yeah, my feelings for Andrew are, I think,
01:08:34pretty intense at this point, yeah, absolutely.
01:08:41As the couple's emotional connection deepens,
01:08:43Andrew is now keen to turn up the romance.
01:08:48I think tonight, to be romantic, I'll take charge
01:08:51and if she follows and responds well to my advances,
01:08:55then happy days, right?
01:08:58All right, sweethearts, I got a surprise for you.
01:09:01Oh, my goodness.
01:09:06Um, yeah, I've certainly seen all that Andrew has to offer now.
01:09:12The water was a little warm.
01:09:14Um, yeah, I was sweating.
01:09:17But the thought was romantic
01:09:19and I think that's what matters.
01:09:25Today was great.
01:09:26Yeah, I am feeling more and more attracted to him
01:09:28as I get to know him, absolutely.
01:09:30Wow, what a lovely end to a lovely day.
01:09:34Sex is a big part of the relationship.
01:09:36It's important to me.
01:09:38In fact, I do think that if we are intimate,
01:09:41that's going to bring us closer together.
01:09:43I'm really looking forward to exploring that maybe tonight.
01:09:50And wiggle it off, just really slowly.
01:09:52As Holly and Andrew enjoy their grand old party...
01:09:56Yay, good job!
01:10:01..Selena and Cody have received a special delivery from the experts.
01:10:08Do you know what this is?
01:10:10Should I know what it is?
01:10:12Which might just help Cody find that missing spark
01:10:15towards his new wife.
01:10:17The Honeymoon Box is designed to encourage
01:10:20total transparency between our couples.
01:10:23The questions are individually crafted
01:10:26to surface unspoken tensions and break down walls.
01:10:30What was single life like for you?
01:10:32Uh, I just kind of, like, drowned myself into work
01:10:35so that I wouldn't feel so single and so lonely.
01:10:40Fair enough.
01:10:41When couples aren't feeling an initial spark,
01:10:44getting to know each other on a deeper level
01:10:46can be just the thing to stimulate closeness
01:10:49and physical attraction.
01:10:51OK, so, Cody, do you think your family would approve of me?
01:10:56100%.
01:10:57Yeah?
01:10:58Like, yeah.
01:10:59Like, I don't doubt it for, like, a second.
01:11:02Really?
01:11:03Yeah.
01:11:04Oh, that's good to know.
01:11:07I feel like my parents are, like, very traditional,
01:11:11so they weren't really, like, super stoked
01:11:13that I was going about it this way.
01:11:15But I feel like if they finally see that
01:11:18their daughter's finally met someone that, you know,
01:11:21is respectful and genuine and actually takes care of me,
01:11:24that's, like, everything to them.
01:11:27So I think...
01:11:30Yeah.
01:11:31I just wanted to make my parents proud.
01:11:38I think because I feel, like, such a disappointment to my family,
01:11:44I really want it to work with Cody.
01:11:49I just don't want another thing added to the list
01:11:51of everything else that they've disapproved of.
01:11:56Yeah.
01:11:57Yeah.
01:11:58It just, like, gets to me whenever I talk about my family.
01:12:03Go on to the next question.
01:12:05Yeah.
01:12:15Are you attracted to me?
01:12:18Yes, I am very much attracted to you.
01:12:28Are you attracted to me?
01:12:34Uh, OK, so...
01:12:45So, um...
01:12:57Are you attracted to me?
01:13:01Uh, OK, so...
01:13:10So, um...
01:13:15So, yeah, I'm, like...
01:13:18This is the one, like, I am struggling, like, a little bit with.
01:13:21Um...
01:13:22I do feel there's something there, there's a work on.
01:13:24Like, honestly, I really do think you're a gorgeous girl, but, um...
01:13:30I don't know why I'm struggling a bit with the sexual attraction.
01:13:36And, um...
01:13:37Yeah, I'm not sure what it is.
01:13:41Um...
01:13:43It's like my schlong isn't coordinating with my head.
01:13:48Wow.
01:13:49So, yeah.
01:13:55Yeah.
01:14:01I think you're a gorgeous girl, I love the energy.
01:14:04It's like my brain is going, yes, this girl is everything.
01:14:07And, um...
01:14:08Yeah.
01:14:09Yeah, like...
01:14:10I think at the moment it's, like, sort of, we get along so well,
01:14:13I want to make sure it's not just a friendship,
01:14:15it is, like, a relationship sort of thing.
01:14:17Yeah.
01:14:18I'm just not 100% sure.
01:14:20Yeah.
01:14:23Uh, to be honest, I...
01:14:26..feel a little bit overwhelmed.
01:14:29Hearing that he's actually not attracted to me...
01:14:33..that was a bit of a slap in the face.
01:14:36So that's the one that...
01:14:38Yeah, that is a bit of a pickle.
01:14:40Yeah.
01:14:42I just need time to process it all.
01:14:45Um...
01:14:46Yeah.
01:14:47It's just, yeah, we've obviously got to figure out where we go from here.
01:14:54Yeah.
01:15:06Yeah.
01:15:10Strangers...
01:15:11We just get on like magic.
01:15:13..on honeymoon...
01:15:14Yay!
01:15:15Let's go!
01:15:16..as love takes hold.
01:15:18We're both just really happy.
01:15:20I have very few imperfections, but I have one.
01:15:22It's one of my toes.
01:15:24No, that's going to freak me out.
01:15:26The honesty box...
01:15:27Are you willing to really try?
01:15:29..rips heart...
01:15:30I'm not saying you're not a man or anything like that.
01:15:32..apart...
01:15:33I feel like you need a lot.
01:15:34Smile, princess.
01:15:35More like a horror movie than a honeymoon.
01:15:37The Honeymoons, tomorrow 7.30pm.
01:15:41Then Sunday...
01:15:42Should we get married?
01:15:44..at Married's Final Weddings.
