NARRATOR: Last night...
Hello, gents. Hey, how're you going? Nick.
Good to meet you. I'm Mike.
..20 men and women met for the first time
at their bucks and hens nights...
Gentlemen, it's our last night as single men.
We're getting married!
..and it was an evening of surprises...
(SQUEALING) Sorry!
I can totally understand why you're single.
Oh! What do you mean?
..and shock secrets.
Maybe you haven't gone there with someone before?
I knew this question was coming. Have you?
I'm still a virgin.
Then,
our first four singles...
I'm excited.
I'm ready to do this.
..walked down the aisle to marry complete strangers.
Hi.
How are you?
Family resistance...
That's disrespectful.
..didn't stop Cyrell and Nick from forging a connection...
There's definitely some chemistry there.
..while it was love at first sight
for Jules and Cam.
I'm happy!
Great smile,
kind eyes,
I'm winning. I'm definitely winning all round.
Our most perfectly-matched couple yet.
I can see she's proper gorgeous on the inside.
Tonight...
It's all happening now.
I'm just really scared that I won't like him.
..another four singles take the ultimate leap of faith.
Sorry to disappoint already.
But the road to love...
I don't know if I've brought my wedding dress.
..isn't always easy...
I cannot believe I slept in.
So we're running about two hours late at the moment.
(SIGHS IN EXASPERATION)
You need to take a deep breath.
..or predictable.
I'll be ready when I'm ready.
This is my wedding day. Do you think I'm wanting to be late?
(CHURCH BELLS)
(HOPEFUL MUSIC)
It's the morning after the first two weddings
and Jules is waking up
next to her new husband, Cam.
Morning. Good morning.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Good morning. How'd you sleep?
Mmm, yeah, good.
That was a good first night, a wonderful first night.
Like, a perfect day and a perfect evening.
It was a dream, a genuine dream.
There's so much chemistry there and attraction.
He's just exactly the kind of guy I would, you know,
want to marry. (LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES) No, I didn't get lucky.
Will you order me some breakfast?
I certainly will. And some coffee and stuff.
I think she's hot. I think there's certainly chemistry.
We just had an instant connection. There's no way it feels like
we just met each other yesterday.
And he's a great kisser, as I predicted. (LAUGHS)
Chop-chop. (LAUGHS)
Meanwhile across town...
Housekeeping. ..the reality of married life
is just sinking in for Cyrell and Nick.
Waking up to someone next to me
and he's actually a cuddling kind of guy, I was like,
wow, I haven't had that in a while.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, I think we're off to a really good start.
We're hitting it off. We're talking, we're laughing.
Show your sexy legs off!
Ooh la la! That could have been dangerous!
What if I had no pants on?
But when it comes to intimacy, Cyrell is taking her time.
I really want to know about him
before jumping head in.
We're so alike but could we clash because we are so alike?
Because I'm funnier and cooler...
I'm so much more funny!
Don't try and be as awesome as me, alright?
(BOTH LAUGH)
(EXCITING MUSIC)
The experts will now match the next two couples
to join the experiment.
With more than 10,000 people applying for this experiment,
we have a whole lot of different, exciting, new singles.
Now someone who caught my eye
is Jessika.
Here's a girl who lights up a room.
She's got a diploma in business,
she models part time but she hasn't been able
to find that lasting relationship.
I'm Jessika.
I'm 27 and I'm from Perth
and I work as an Executive Administrator.
INSTRUCTOR: Good, Jess. I also model as a hobby.
But there's so much more to me than that.
I would love someone to fall in love
with my personality first,
rather than with how I look.
I feel like men see me more as an accessory
and not as a life partner and the men that I have fallen for
have just cheated on me.
OK, so for you, trusting guys is quite difficult.
Yes. I just want to be happy
and I just want to find somebody that...
Sorry. (SAD MUSIC)
I just - yeah, I just want to find someone
that wants what I want.
And just wants to actually make a relationship work,
rather than look at it like an end date,
that it has an end date and not go into it 100%.
And I feel like I attract those sorts of people.
Sorry.
Growing up, I didn't have the best upbringing.
My Mum and my Dad divorced when I was one year old,
and then my Mum moved to WA
because she said it's the furthest away
she'd get from him.
I didn't really have a strong father figure
when I needed it most, growing up. That was really hard.
I had to grow up a lot faster than most children.
How are you?
Are you in town?
Yeah, just in a pub. Ah.
My father,
we've only just reconnected in the last six, seven years
and it's been the best thing that I've ever done.
Thanks, Dad. I love you.
I love you more.
Where I am now in my life and what I've achieved,
I'm so proud of myself.
I'd love to have a big family.
It's always what I wanted and the stability and love
that I feel I didn't really have growing up.
Love me! (LAUGHS)
What I like about Jess is her drive to rekindle the relationship
she has with her father.
It shows a willingness to forgive the past
and an openness to communicate.
But what's most important is for us to break Jessika's pattern
of disposable relationships.
We need to find her a partner
who is willing to invest the time and emotional energy
into the relationship
and someone who shares her family values.
Well, a guy that I keep coming back to for Jess is Mick.
He's a really down-to-earth, genuine larrikin
who calls it the way that he sees it.
(BLEATING, MOOING)
How are you doin' lambchops - good?
My name's Mick. I'm 31.
I'm a plasterer
and I live in Gympie.
Come on.
Got 11 acres, 20 sheep.
How are you doin', Barbara? (BLEATING)
11 chickens,
two dogs and five guinea fowl
that have buggered off next door.
You love it, don't ya?
No, there's not a lot of single women around the area.
I have been using the dating apps
and they're about as reliable as a second-hand lawn mower, aren't they?
(BLEATING)
I think I'm a catch because I'm hard-working, loyal -
I think I'm alright, I suppose.
(BLEATING)
(PIANO MUSIC)
Tell me about women and dating for you.
I've met a couple of women previously
that I'm sort of kicking myself now, but you know, you might be able
to do something a bit better than I can do
down at the local, so...
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
You've got a great sense of humour. Mmm.
And often, sometimes we'll use humour
to keep it away from that sensitive side.
Mmm. Do you do that sometimes?
Yeah, all the time.
Ah, to open up, it's a fairly hard thing to open up
to, oh, well, to anyone, really.
A wife and kids would be great.
I envisioned when I bought this place
to have my kids grow up on acreage with the animals
and that sort of thing, so...
I feel as though I do need the experiment
to sort of put myself out there.
I hope the experts have done their job,
because I'd love to meet the one.
That'd be great.
Although at face value,
we see that Jess is very much the city girl
and Mick's our country guy,
at the heart of it all, they're very similar.
They both share those family values and they're very down to earth
and likely to use humour to diffuse a situation.
Mick's a larrikin at heart but underneath it all,
I saw a genuine warmth
and willingness to engage in the experiment.
Plus, he's definitely a family man
and he wants to share this lifestyle with someone special.
But because of the lack of that father figure in her life early on,
you can see that she's really driven to create
that stable family life of her own.
The opportunity here is for the two of them
to really come together and compliment each other's styles
and try something different that might just work.
Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I agree.
I think Jessika and Mick - I think they're a great match.
Jess and Mick.
Next, I'd like to talk about Melissa.
She's a 38-year-old talent agent from Sydney
and she's loud, excitable and full of life.
When people first meet me,
I think my energy sometimes gets kind of misinterpreted,
as, 'She's batshit crazy.'
Oh!
(UPROARIOUS LAUGHTER)
So you know he's Italian? How do you know that?
(LOUD LAUGHTER)
That doesn't really help with my dating life.
When you're 38 and you're a female, it's even harder,
because all those guys are going for girls half your age.
So what are you gonna do?
Back out of my gene pool, bitches! Oh, well, ladies.
I mean, sorry - girls that are, you know, in their 20s.
Damn you! Yeah, so it does come into play, obviously,
because yeah, it becomes harder.
I haven't had sex for eight years. What do you reckon?
A lot, is where I'm going to go with that.
I don't stop traffic
unless I throw myself in front of it, you know?
I understand that.
Melissa has been single for eight years
and she's chosen throughout that time to be celibate, as well.
She's really struggled to find the right man.
What are the things that hold you back in relationships?
I think the biggest thing is that I've never felt secure
in any of them.
Mmm.
I want to be with someone who...
You know, they love me for me.
You want someone who has your back,
that's there for you when you're under stress.
Absolutely.
And is...
You know, that looks at me and thinks, like, you're amazing.
I think when all of your friends
start kind of getting married and having the family,
it gets so hard to watch
and it makes you want it so much more.
I mean, I honestly thought that this was it for me.
I was never going to find, you know, my 'one'.
I'm taking part in this experiment
because this is serious.
It is literally - I feel like it's my last chance.
I...
Yeah.
Melissa has been unlucky in love for eight years,
so it is so important that we find her the right man
who can accept her wholeheartedly,
so she can feel comfortable and more secure in the relationship.
One thing also that I think Mel really needs
is someone who's going to balance out her energy,
be the yin to her yang.
You know, a calming voice of reason.
And the guy that I'm thinking about is Dino.
Hi, I'm Dino. I'm 35. I'm from Western Australia.
Meditation is a big part of my lifestyle.
(ENERGETIC MUSIC)
I find that it's a purpose of my life
to spread inner-peace and teach meditation.
When I started meditating,
I was attracting through the universe
the right vibrations, the right energy,
the right situations.
(SAD MUSIC)
TRISHA: Dino takes good care of his mind and body,
and while he's very content in himself,
he's yearning to find his soulmate.
DINO: At times, I do feel lonely without that person.
Being alone, it makes you miss having that shoulder to cry on.
What I look for in a partner is beauty on the inside.
I believe in appreciating women the way they are
and not trying to change them in any way.
(ROCK MUSIC)
I really need this to find a partner because I haven't found that woman
who can excite me, who can create love.
I think compatibility with these two is really strong,
because Mel is someone who loves to talk.
She can get anxious in relationships
and Dino is a great listener and I think he will calm her down.
This could really work for these two.
Dino and Mel, let's lock them in.
Absolutely.
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
As their wedding day fast approaches,
our singles are swept up in final preparations.
Look how beautiful all of the lace detailing
on these dresses are. I can't even get over it.
Eliza, my sister, is my rock.
Ooh! (GIGGLES)
She's been there through break-ups,
she's been there through heartbreak, she's been there through everything.
Eliza, you have to come and look at this dress.
Oh, that's so pretty.
Family, they're your backbone.
They're who you are.
Beautiful. Yeah?
So I want somebody that has family values.
I want somebody who wants a family,
somebody that can make me smile
and laugh at my stupid jokes.
Wow.
Come on, Mick. Hurry up. Bloody hell.
Mick, you're struggling to get those pants done up, are ya?
Feeling a bit nervous.
It's very different from everything I wear, this stuff.
How's that? White shirt looks terrible with it.
What?
You know, this is the best I'll ever look.
Don't expect too much after that.
Just goes to show you, you can polish a turd.
(LAUGHTER)
TRISHA: Preparing for a wedding is a new and exciting experience
for all our singles.
Yeah. There he is.
There we go! There we go!
This is all meant to be.
This is so beautiful.
TRISHA: But Melissa has been single for eight years.
See, this is too much bling-bling.
There's a danger she'll put too much pressure on herself
trying to make that perfect first impression.
I'm not a fish tail.
Not a fish tail. I don't do the fish tail.
OK. (BOTH LAUGH)
My sister Rebecca is here with me today.
She's got good style,
so I trust her taste and she knows me very well.
Oh, that's just the bottom of one.
Oh, that'd be a very tall person.
I've been single for so long,
I didn't know if I was going to meet that person
and I'm now getting married,
so this means everything to me, finding my perfect dress.
Let's have a look.
Yeah, so - I mean, it's...
(TENSE MUSIC)
Yeah. I'm fine.
I know. I'm just...
It's emotional.
Getting a wedding dress is super-emotional. I know.
I just, yeah, it's just not me.
I've been waiting, you know, a lot of years for this day.
It's your wedding day and also, you know, it's the first time
I'm going to meet my husband and...
That's the first time he's going to see you,
so I think it makes it even more important
for the dress to be perfect.
Melissa... Yeah, I know! I'm sorry.
It's just stressed me out.
I'm so stressed out...
I know, I know. We'll find it, we'll get it. We'll get it.
(CHURCH BELLS)
It's the morning of the weddings
and very soon, our singles will be marrying a complete stranger.
But Mel has slept in and is running two hours late.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! I'm a mess here.
(EXHALES)
I haven't been sleeping this whole time and then...
And then I fell asleep last night, and so I'm so late. Oh, my God.
I'm so in trouble. This is so me.
Whoa!
Oh, my God. I'm just... I can't.
I just can't believe - I cannot believe
I slept in on my wedding day!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
I don't even know how I did it.
OK.
Shit.
OK, so I've just moved into this apartment building,
hence why I don't know where I'm going.
So, ended up in the basement
and now I'm lost. Oh, my God - see this is what happens!
No...
Um...
Perfect timing. That's how you do it,
you just wait for the car to obviously open the gate for you.
Nailed it, nailed it.
While Mel hightails it to her country wedding...
Dino is having a more relaxing start to the day.
Today is a very important day in my life.
It is the day I get married.
(SLIGHT CHUCKLE) I'm waiting for that feeling just to sink in.
But I know today is all about being myself.
I find that if you can keep that positivity up,
if you can keep that calmness up, as well,
that's the most important thing.
For the wedding ceremony,
I've got an unexpected surprise for my future wife,
and I'm feeling excited and I hope she's impressed.
I just can't wait to meet my wife.
On Sydney's rural outskirts,
Mel's bridesmaids have just discovered
they are missing their bride.
(DIAL TONE)
Hello? Hey, hun.
Where are you, babes? I...
I'm late.
I slept in. Yep, yep. I just can't believe it. Yep.
Where are you? Are you there?
We're here. We're here.
We just got here
and they're all a bit worried because it is far away.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, so you're on your way,
you've got everything? You're happy? It's all good?
Yeah, bye! Love you.
Alright. OK, bye.
(EXHALES) I've definitely got the dress. Thank God. Um...
(TENSE MUSIC)
No, no, no. I've definitely got the dress.
Definitely got the dress. It's in my...
I've gone over - yep.
(EXHALES)
Oh, God.
I'm...
I don't know.
I think because I'm so stressed out that I'm just...
I don't know if I've brought my wedding dress.
Are we on this road for a while?
Oh, my God.
Where, uh...
Oh, amazing, amazing. Oh! 'Emergency Only Pullover'.
This is an emergency. Thank you, sir.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I've got my wedding dress!
(YELPS)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Meanwhile, in northern NSW,
Mick is putting the finishing touches
to his wedding vows.
I'm sort of bracing meself for the wedding now.
It'd be amazing to meet the woman of my dreams,
looking down the aisle.
To fall in love during the experiment
would mean everything to me.
You've just gotta hope that the stars align
and Haley's Comet comes around again and away we go.
It all feels like a dream, at the moment.
My nerves have just been going crazy.
I don't really trust the guys
that are confident enough to approach me.
They only really want me for one thing and then they're onto
the next girl.
I'm really hoping my husband has a really beautiful family
and I want a big family myself,
so I'm really hoping that he has those sorts of expectations as well.
I'm hoping I make a good impression on them.
(QUIRKY MUSIC)
I've only ever been to a wedding once before, so yeah, a bit nervous.
Mick, you home? Oh, crikey!
G'day, mate. How are you? Cobber, how are you?
Good, buddy. Good. Mate, how are you doing?
Not too bad, not too bad.
You only want to get married once, so here's hoping the bride's
willing to put up with my shit, basically.
Are you nervous about meeting her?
Of course I'm nervous about meeting her.
What's the biggest... I'm nervous about
what you're going to say.
(LAUGHTER)
The best man, he doesn't have much of a filter.
Oh, that is terrible.
Mate, you've got a big mouth on you.
(LAUGHTER)
The thing about Broxy is, whenever he says something,
you've got to divide it by four, halve it again
and that's somewhat of the truth.
Bloody hell. Your fly's undone. Fly's undone.
(GIGGLES)
To be honest, I don't think he's ready.
She'll run. Yeah, you reckon?
Yeah, yeah.
Hope for the best but, you know,
I'm expecting the worst.
How are you, mate?
As Mick heads off to the ceremony,
Jess is nervously waiting with her aunt
for the final member of her wedding party to arrive -
her father, ex-professional boxer, Troy.
What time is your dad getting here?
Dad should be here sometime soon, hopefully.
I'm freaking out.
I'm just so worried what my Dad's going to be like,
because he's so protective of me
and I'm like his baby girl, you know?
So I'm just...
I think he's really worried
and he just doesn't want me to get hurt.
Again.
I haven't seen my Dad in like a year,
so once I've given him a hug, cuddle, kiss, I'll calm. (LAUGHS)
Oh, my goodness. (WEDDING PARTY EXPRESSES AWE)
You look beautiful.
You look amazing! Thank you!
REBECCA: I feel really teary.
She's beautiful and I just really want her to be happy
and for someone to love her
like she deserves to be loved.
You've got this. We're getting married!
Jessika's usual types have never worked out
and I think it was time for Jess to move away from that.
Show it. You look beautiful.
Thank you. I hope Dad doesn't freak out.
Yeah. He is a loose cannon.
I'm feeling nervous for Jess.
There's some strong personalities in our family
and I just want everything to be perfect
for Jess today. Yep.
Hi!
Look at you. Hey, Daddy!
How are you?
I love you. I love you.
That's my baby.
She's mine and we're very, very close, yep, so...
You look gorgeous. Thank you.
I'm going to ruin my make-up.
(INHALES, EXHALES)
You look amazing. Look, I've already gotten you...
Oh, look at you. Bloody superstar!
Look at you! (GIGGLES)
I just haven't seen my Dad in so long,
so I was really excited and he thinks I look gorgeous,
so I'm really happy that he's happy with my dress and with me and yeah.
I'm nervous. You're a bit nervous?
We'll be nervous together.
I'm a bit dubious. You know, I would have liked to have met him,
just to say hello, you know what I mean?
But she put herself in for this, so what do you do?
Thanks, Dad. That's alright, baby.
(GIGGLES)
He's probably a little bit freaked out
with what I'm doing but you know,
he'll always be there for me no matter what I do,
so now I'm just apprehensive and ready to get this going.
(TENSE MUSIC)
With both bride and groom on their way,
friends and family gather for the ceremony,
including Jess' protective older brother, Rhyce.
She's dated a lot of people that I haven't approved of in the past
and if it's someone I don't like, then as her older brother,
I'm going to step in and intervene.
(TENSE MUSIC) Yeah, minutes away from, uh,
you know, D-day as they call it.
I honestly have no idea what to expect.
You only want to get married once, so feeling a bit nervous now.
Knowing that soon you'll be getting married
to someone you've never met,
thinking, Jesus, is this the right decision?
(EPIC MUSIC)
How're youse going?
The heart is starting to race a bit.
How're you going?
Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd end up here.
Sorry to disappoint already.
(CHURCH BELLS)
(TENSE MUSIC)
Being up in front of everyone,
I can feel all her family are judging me.
Sorry to disappoint already.
I've got a head for radio, so by the time she gets towards me,
hopefully she doesn't run.
TROY: It's not too late to turn around, darling.
I know. I'm starting to think now, am I making the right decision?
Probably not the best thing to start thinking that right now.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I'm getting married to a complete stranger.
I'm just a bit nervous now.
I'm just really scared that I won't like him.
I have no idea what to expect.
Worse thing that could happen is she takes a glimpse of me
and bloody tucks her head in her shell
and buggers off back into the ocean.
(EXHALES)
All of my nerves are hitting me at the minute now.
I don't want someone that just wants the pretty all the time,
the Instagram Jess.
I'm just a bundle of nerves and anxiety
that we may not be attracted to each other straight away.
There will be some personality in there
that I'm going to try and unlock.
Love, to me, would mean being in a room full of people
and only seeing that one person.
I'd love to have that feeling. That'd be amazing.
(GIGGLES)
Heavens to Betsy.
Hi!
How are you doin'?
G'day, mate. How are you? Good, how are you doing?
Oh, Dad.
Hi! How are you? How are you going?
Thank you, Daddy.
Very impressed, uh, you know, how well she looks.
I know, how are you?
Good, mate. How are you? I'm Jess.
Mick, how are you? Lovely to meet you.
How are you going?
Oh, glad you rocked up!
Let's hold hands. Yeah, righto!
(EXHALES)
Jessika's a Maserati
as opposed to a Datsun, definitely.
A bloody good looking girl.
Oh, God! How is everyone going?
I'm about as dry as a dead dingo's donger, now.
(LAUGHTER)
He's not the look that I would go for.
Let's just do this really quickly.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was hilarious.
Just a bit lower, just a bit lower.
(LAUGHTER)
Phew, God damn. Where were we?
Back to me. I mean us.
(LAUGHTER)
Personality like mine! Winning!
(LAUGHTER)
Friends and family,
we're gathered to celebrate the very special marriage
of Mick and Jessika.
Do you choose each other to be husband and wife?
Will you share your time
and attention and value every day you have together?
You got - yeah? Good?
Yeah. Me too.
We don't say 'I do,' there, do we?
Nah? Yeah, we do.
It's me first time, yeah.
Me, too. (EXHALES)
Jessika, would you like to share your vows with us?
I would.
It's crazy to think that I'm committing myself
to a complete stranger, but I'm here today
with my heart open and my mind clear.
I will dream with you, celebrate with you
and walk beside you in whatever our lives may bring.
We both came here today separately,
but we'll be leaving as one big crazy family,
with a whole lot of love and happiness.
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
The heart is starting to race a bit.
I can feel a little bit of chemistry there,
so fingers crossed
she's feeling something too, hopefully.
Who would have thought that we'd be standing here today,
marrying the person we just laid eyes on?
Marrying and then sharing my life with someone that I just met
is scary and bloody exciting at the same time.
(ROMANTIC MUSIC)
I promise to make you laugh and I promise to make you cry,
I promise to make you smile and make you go, 'Oh, God, why?'
(LAUGHTER)
I promise to annoy the pants off you
and allow you to just be you.
I'm the type of bloke who doesn't take life too seriously
but I'll give this relationship here 100%
and I guarantee we'll rise to the top.
He seems like a really good person.
I just feel a warmth coming him.
So yeah, I'm actually really happy.
Jessika and Mick,
it gives me great joy to now announce you husband and wife.
Mick, you may now kiss the bride.
Yeeha!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Jessika's everything I asked for.
I don't even know if I asked for all of it
but yeah, she's...
Yeah. Good. Good.
Yeah! That's a good thing, isn't it?
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Meeting my new husband has definitely made me excited now
for the future, because he's so funny.
(EXHALES)
I'm really happy with what the experts have chosen for me.
(TENSE MUSIC) MEL: Woo!
Hallelujah!
Here we are.
After a frantic morning,
Mel has finally made it to the Hawkesbury River,
but she has very little time to get ready.
So we're running about two hours late at the moment.
Oh (BLEEP). You've basically got half an hour
to do your hair and make-up.
I would rather be two hours late
than only have half an hour to do that.
Deep breaths.
I'm about to marry a stranger and I've only got half an hour
to do hair and make-up.
(EXHALES) You're getting it done, Melissa.
That's the difference.
Well, I don't want to talk right now because they're like, it just, yeah.
It's all good.
I think Mel's a little stressed and I can understand why.
It's a big deal.
But hopefully she pulls it together and gets there and isn't too late.
We've got about five minutes. Well, yeah, OK.
But I'll be ready when I'm ready. There's nothing I can do.
I can't get ready any faster.
This is my wedding day, do you think I wanted to be late?
(BLEEP) You need to take a deep breath.
(SNIFFS, SIGHS)
There's nothing I can do. I was late. I can't change that.
(GENTLE, PLAYFUL MUSIC)
As we breathe out, let go of any worries, tension,
any baggage and let's just enjoy the present moment.
TENDAI: I'd say Dino is one of the most chilled out,
relaxed people I know.
He's doing what he usually does, which is just relax
and not try to overthink things.
(LAUGHTER)
It's starting to feel real now.
I just feel really positive.
ALL: Dino's wedding! Yeah!
I'm looking forward to the surprise that I have planned
for my future wife.
(LAUGHTER)
I hope she likes it.
I wonder what she looks like. I just want to see her now!
(LAUGHS)
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
The wedding guests have arrived
but Mel is still applying the final touches.
I wish that my morning was totally different.
I wish that I could do it again.
I don't feel as confident or great after this morning,
but I can't take it back.
Bet you say that to all the brides. But that's OK. Yep.
EMILIO: Melissa's dream is to get married.
I am concerned.
I could see she was worried and upset.
It hasn't really been a good start.
It's just very stressful. You don't want to be rushed
and stressed on your wedding day. No.
I've been single for over eight years
and finally, I am getting married.
I never thought I'd be 38 and alone.
Being this age and single,
I am putting a lot of pressure on this.
It's my last chance.
I will be devastated if it doesn't work.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Ladies and gentlemen,
sorry about the delay. It shouldn't be too much longer.
What's going on?
Ah, there it is. That's the ceremony. OK.
There it is there. Oh, shit, OK. It really is.
It is happening.
OK.
Hi, everyone!
How's it going?
Sorry if I'm late.
Um, where's the groom?
Oh, my God. I've been left at the altar.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I think he got really cold feet because I was so late.
Are you OK?
I know. It's alright.
You alright, Mel? We're all here.
Do you know what's happening? No, no. Excellent.
Oh, my God. I have no idea what is going on.
No frickin' way.
(CHEERING)
(CHURCH BELLS)
(EPIC FOREBODING MUSIC)
Are you OK?
I know. (MURMURING)
It's alright.
You alright, Mel? We're all here.
Do you know what's happening? No, no. Excellent.
I'm thinking he got really cold feet and just left because I was so late.
(BOLLYWOOD-INSPIRED MUSIC)
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God. He's on a horse.
No frickin' way.
(APPLAUSE)
I have arrived!
(LAUGHS)
That's hilarious! (GRUNTS)
Oh, he fell. (CHUCKLES)
(QUIRKY MUSIC)
Oh, my God, he kissed the horse.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Thank you, thank you.
(LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)
Phew! I'm sorry it took so long. Hi! I know, you took ages!
The horse took time to get ready.
That was a great entrance. Thank you.
Oh, wow.
Thank you, universe!
Today, I've attracted marriage
to the most beautiful woman I've ever met.
My goodness, I've scored the jackpot!
Oh! (ATTENDEES REACT WARMLY)
You're forgiven already. It's alright!
He's got a nice smile. He's very handsome.
And he's kind of got that playful side.
What was your name?
Dino. Oh, Dino!
Yes, yes. Dino.
OK, excellent. I'm Melissa.
Melissa. Nice to meet you.
Lovely to meet you. Thank you.
Amazing. (CHUCKLES)
Before we get started, there's something I want to do...
Oh, my God. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
This is something I feel every woman
should deserve at least once in her life.
So, in the name of tradition... Mm-hmm?
(LAUGHS) Oh, my God!
Oh, my God. Wow. Wow!
Don't worry, the ring's coming later!
(BOTH LAUGH)
So sweet. What do I do?
What am I meant to do? Can I have your hand
and start this beautiful journey?
Oh, OK, absolutely, yes.
That is so lovely, isn't it? That's really cute.
Yep. Oh, stop!
That is very cute, thank you. Thanks so much.
What a gentleman. He is full of surprises.
That was really lovely and he's very soft,
so it's a nice jacket.
And you smell good! He smells good.
(LAUGHTER) Thank you! (CHUCKLES)
Good afternoon, everyone.
Today, we are witnesses to the start of Dino and Melissa's love story.
Melissa, do you mind reading your vows?
OK.
Mmm.
Do you want me to hold your flowers? Maybe.
I'll hold them. Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry.
Gotta put these guns to good use.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
OK.
Today, I am committing myself wholeheartedly to this marriage
and to becoming your wife.
I vow to show you the best of me
and I'm looking forward to learning about the best of you,
so that we can work together to build a perfect partnership.
I am loud, vibrant and I have no filter.
Some people say that I can be a handful,
but luckily, you've got two hands
and I promise never to be more than you can carry.
I vow to keep working on
and updating these vows to you as we go,
because we just met and because one set of vows
can't possibly be enough for what's ahead as we grow,
change and start our lives together as husband and wife.
Beautiful. Thanks.
I get a good vibe from Melissa
and I'm looking forward to getting her know her soul.
So Dino, do you mind reading your vows to Melissa?
You know what? I'm not gonna read off this.
I just feel the words have to come straight from my heart,
as these are promises that we have to live by,
in this journey together.
So, I'll start with saying namaste.
It means I bow to the divine in you,
which is a sign of respect
and a sign of appreciation for just who you are.
Today, marriage might seem like an empty box,
but believe me, when we learn the art of giving,
loving, praising and serving one another,
and we keep doing that to fill this box,
it will result in two beautiful hearts full of love,
joyful minds and bodies that signify radiant energy.
And that will allow us to grow into one powerful, married couple.
Thank you. Wow.
You weren't reading that behind me?! Like, wow!
I didn't look at this once. OK, that's amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it gives me the greatest pleasure to declare you as husband and wife.
Dino, you may kiss your bride.
Oh, OK. Just a little one, just a little one.
Am I allowed to kiss you?
(LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
OK, that's exciting!
And we're married!
I'm feeling amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing, amazing, amazing.
(CHUCKLES)
I think science...
I have this feeling that science and the universe
have come together to make this happen.
I believe she is my type, physically.
Whether it be mentally, whether it be spiritually,
I'll have to find out.
Yeah, look, Dino does seem quite spiritual
and, I mean, I don't think I am
very much at all. (LAUGHS)
But I'm really looking forward to finding out more about him.
(UPLIFTING MUSIC)
You right? Yeah.
You're gonna be bloody covered in dirt, the bottom layer...
I don't really care.
Alright.
That's beautiful.
(CAMERA NOISES)
(LAUGHS)
Jessika seems just a very down-to-earth, genuine girl,
so the experts have definitely done a good job.
I've got 11 acres up in Gympie. Oh, really? Wow.
So you have horses and things?
I've got 19 sheep.
I frickin' love sheep.
I think he is the bloody bees knees.
I think he's so funny
and I instantly felt comfortable with him. He's great.
And a little kiss.
Yeah, it feels good, sneaking in a few cheeky kisses with her.
I feel like a bloody happy school kid.
He's a pretty good kisser.
Mmm! (GIGGLES)
Tick, tick, tick to that.
(QUIRKY MUSIC)
TRISHA: Body language is a good indicator
of how comfortable our couples feel to one another.
Maybe a little bit of a peck on the cheek.
Melissa hasn't been intimate with a man for eight years,
so this time with Dino will be a real challenge for her.
Yeah, that's great.
(GIGGLES)
Sorry.
Having wedding photos when you're meant to,
I don't know, kind of be quite romantic, sexual,
kissing or whatever, I think is quite awkward.
Thanks. Oh, my God! Don't!
Give him an inch, he'll take a mile.
He was ready to go in.
Mate, they're those lips that you kissed the horse with.
I don't know about you, you know?
Dino, maybe a little bit of a kiss on the forehead?
Melissa, looking at me.
It didn't really feel like a photoshoot. It felt natural.
Looking at one another.
(LAUGHS)
I just, the way you do it, it's so funny.
We've got that physical connection somehow or the other.
(LAUGHS) What did you - you're creeping on me!
I believe it's a great chemistry.
(LAUGHS)
I wouldn't say there's chemistry yet but you know,
obviously let's see what happens.
Coming up...
It's now time for the first lot of speeches.
..the speech that derails Jess and Mick's wedding.
I just think it was total (BLEEP) bullshit.
(BLEEP) rubbish.
(CHURCH BELLS)
(UPLIFTING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
SISTER: I hope Mel's more relaxed now.
I hope she's had a nice afternoon.
Wonder where they are? Just making out on the paddock.
Ladies and gentlemen, can I please get a big, warm
round of applause for the bride and groom,
Melissa and Dino.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Hello! Hello!
NARRATOR: With photographs out of the way,
Mel and Dino join their guests for the reception.
But before the formalities begin,
there's one person Dino wants to introduce to his new bride.
You need to meet my Mum.
Over here. Oh, hi!
How are you, beautiful? Something I do with my Mum
is I touch her feet, so yeah. You look beautiful.
Oh, my gosh. I don't even care about that.
Yeah, so something...
Oh, I was like...
What is that? Oh, is it? Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I didn't know what was going on.
I thought you were fixing her shoes.
(LAUGHTER) Sorry! I was like,
I thought you were just doing that!
Apparently that's a sign of respect, to touch the feet.
So every time he sees his mum, apparently he touches her feet.
That's nice. OK. So if you do that, that's what you're doing. OK.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's beautiful. Oh.
I was like, OK, is that just something that you do?
Should I now go down?
And then I'm like, no one's touched my feet. Like... (CHUCKLES)
And who else is there? OK.
Nephew. He's like a mini-me. Oh, he is!
He is. Hi, how are you going? Melissa.
Aw. Oh, this is nice.
What's your name? Hashu.
Hashil. Hashu.
Oh, Hashu? Oh! Hashu! Like, achoo!
(LAUGHTER)
Yeah. So that's how I'll remember it, yeah.
That's so nice.
Melissa, she was really jovial
and full of humour
and that's the kind of person he is, as well.
They look perfect together, honestly.
Oh, my God. I'm so hungry. Oh, yes.
I'm right into the roll.
If anyone doesn't want theirs, I'll do it.
What's mine is yours now, and what's yours is mine.
(CHUCKLES)
(MUFFLED SPEECH)
The connection between the two of us is amazing so far.
Being so comfortable around that energy already
is a great start.
I feel I'm more of a Virgo. You feel more of a Virgo. Yeah.
But then when it comes to friends and enjoying myself, it's a Libra.
Yeah. Yeah, with one side coming out.
Yeah.
Dino isn't the normal type of guy I've gone for before.
I like to use meditation in my daily life,
like the chanting and the mantras and stuff.
You know, being so spiritual
and with his culture,
obviously we are totally different people.
Don't you feel souls have maybe met before in previous lifetimes?
Whoa, I mean...
This experiment is so important to me.
I really, really want this to work.
But at the moment, I'm not sure what we have in common.
Thanks to the universe.
This was an amazing, unique opportunity...
Yeah. ..to meet you.
Yeah, yeah. There you go. Mmm.
(CHUCKLES EXCITEDLY)
Mmm, yeah.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
In northern NSW,
Jess and Mick arrive for their country-style reception.
I'm Jess, by the way. G'day, I'm Broxy.
Lovely to meet you.
I thought so. And your name was...
(LAUGHTER) When I first saw Jess,
I was pretty impressed.
He hasn't won lotto but it's pretty close to it, I'd say.
What have you guys been up to? Did you have a session or something?
(LAUGHS) None of your bloody business.
Oh, you can share us.
You sound like a troublemaker. He is, he is.
The first thing he says is, 'Does Jess like to party?'
What did you say? I said, 'I don't know...'
She told me a few stories,
don't worry, Jess. Really?
Did you throw her right under the bus, did you?
No, of course I didn't. I threw you under the bus
straight away. Did you?
My role is to tell a few stories to people,
make sure they know what he's like...
Cheers. Cheers.
..because I have plenty and they are gold.
You can have some cheese, mate.
Want some cheese? Oh.
Oh, it's butter. You prick.
(LAUGHTER)
What a stich-up.
(LAUGHTER)
JOHN: The reception gives our couples a chance
to meet their new partner's friends and family.
What are your names, anyway? Kaiser.
Oh, I'm so sorry. Mick, how are you doing?
However, this can be a minefield
when there's a family member who is hostile to the experiment.
TROY: Being a father, I don't think anyone's good enough for my daughter.
She's my little angel. She's my baby.
He stitched me up! Bastard. Bloody Jesus.
Normally I would meet the man who's going to marry my daughter.
But I met him two minutes and said, 'Here's my angel.' God almighty.
(FOREBODING MUSIC)
Do you think they look good together or not?
She normally goes for better looking guys.
I don't reckon they match.
(LAUGHS)
I think he's beneath Jess.
He's definitely not what she normally goes for.
Oh, these are weird, aren't they? I've bloody...
He's a bit country bogan-ish.
I think Jess can do a lot better than that.
But that's me, her brother.
That's horrendous. (GIGGLES)
I tell you what, mate - if they work out or they don't,
if he hurts her, I'll (BLEEP) kill him.
(LAUGHTER)
(CHURCH BELLS)
What's this?
It's like a pea and leak soup.
I love to cook
so I know what this is. Good cook, are you?
Yeah.
The wedding's going perfectly.
I really like him. I really think he has a good personality.
(LAUGHS) Oh, thank you.
At the moment, he is ticking every box.
Usually, you've gotta tuck this in, too.
Please pop it on your lap.
I'm just really happy.
I'm really happy.
OK, everyone.
It's now time for the first lot of speeches
and first up, Mick's best man, Broxy.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
MICK: Of course I'm worried about his speech.
Brox doesn't let the truth get in the way of a good story,
but I'm hoping he goes easy on the stories
and sort of eases the wife into how I am.
Welcome to everyone.
It's great to see everyone here tonight.
Uh, Jess...
You are lucky.
He's a pretty top bloke.
He's not afraid of his shortcomings, you know, he'll try anything.
I'll tell you a bit of a story about him.
We went up to Airlie Beach...
..just for a couple of drinks and we've drunk the whole bar dry,
just me and him. You know, we're having a good time
and Mick's gone to me,
'I'm going to take some Viagra.'
So he's taken the Viagra, just as a bit of a gee-up.
Mick's going rare at everything he bloody can
but nothing's come at him.
Better not take any of that on the honeymoon.
Obviously the Viagra's worked
and I'm asleep, I've woken up, and I can hear some noises.
I open me eyes, he's made himself
a bloody tent over himself and he's having a go.
(BLEEP) really?
I'm going, 'Oh, Jesus, mate! Bloody hell!
Wow! How many times have you done this?'
He goes, 'Oh, at least five.'
(DARK MUSIC)
He's finished and we're all safe.
So now you know a bit about Mick.
You prick. You prick.
Have a good night, everyone.
What the (BLEEP) was that?
The best man speech, I thought it was disgusting.
Why would you bring up Viagra?
I don't want to think about you having sex with my sister.
Obviously I'm very protective and from what I've seen
from his best mate,
I don't really think that highly of him at the moment.
Probably not the best story to tell at a wedding, but um...
I thought it was a bloody ripper.
I just think it was total (BLEEP) bullshit.
There's places for that sort of talk, you know,
with a group of boys out in the paddock
having a piss-up, not with young ladies around.
(BLEEP) wanker.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
She's still my baby.
You're at your wedding with your wife sitting next to you
and you're talking about the fact that you've gone out
to hook up with girls and take Viagra?
I am worried because my family's opinion
does mean a lot to me.
(BLEEP)
If the best man is a reflection of Mick,
maybe Mick's a wanker as well.
Down on the Hawkesbury,
Mel is uncertain how she feels about new husband Dino,
and she's turned to sister Rebecca to voice her concerns.
Like...
I still don't know what namaste means.
Like, he said that in the vows
but I still don't know what it means.
Does anyone? Excellent.
Namaste. Like, you know...
Namaste. See, I don't even know now what I'm saying!
Yeah, I think he explained what it meant in his vows.
I am not at all used to being with someone that is this spiritual.
I am putting a lot of pressure on this for it to work.
This experiment is my last chance.
How was your day?
It was full-on.
Like, I'm just looking forward to not frickin' crying.
But I'm so glad that that's done and now I can...
Now you can just have fun. Yeah!
Now this is the experiment.
I feel like, though, the only one thing is
he's so spiritual. But that's a good thing.
But so much more than me. I'll chat with him.
No, no, that's good, but as in...
It balances you out.
But does it balance me out or make me look really not...
No, it doesn't, it balances you out because that is what you deserve.
You just don't know that yet. Yeah.
He's probably the best person to hold your hand,
because you need to be open and just let someone like that,
who seems really nurturing, and really calm, gentle and kind
just look after you.
He's not someone that we would first off choose,
but I think they've done a really good job
in matching two people to bring out the best in each other.
Like he said, he got the jackpot.
Oh, I mean, didn't he say some cute things?
I mean, he's pretty good at it. Yeah, yeah.
He is very, you know, spiritual and things like that
but that's probably good for me, like my friends pointed out.
We compliment each other
and he is actually just such a really nice guy.
Back at Jess and Mick's reception,
Mick is unaware of the growing disapproval amongst Jess' family.
I flipped someone the bird
They said, 'What happened to your finger?' I said,
'A dingo came and ripped it off,' and they're all going, 'No!'
JESS: My family, their opinion about my partner is important to me
and if they don't like somebody,
it would be very hard to make the relationship work.
I'll have to come up with a couple more stories.
I haven't even spoken one word to him,
but I don't like the guy.
I'm the older brother, I'm protective.
I'm a gentleman, so I'll tell you tomorrow.
If he takes advantage, I'll kill him, straight away.
I'm definitely going to pull him aside and say,
I think you're not good enough for my sister.
Excuse me, mate. I've gotta talk to you.
Oh, righto.
(TENSE MUSIC)
What brother?
Oh, shit.
(CHURCH BELLS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I'm a gentleman, so I'll tell you tomorrow.
(LAUGHTER)
I haven't even spoken one word to him,
but I don't like the guy.
(LAUGHS)
I'm definitely going to pull him aside and say,
I think that you are not good enough for my sister.
Excuse me, mate, I've gotta talk to you.
Oh, righto.
Rhyce just came up and tapped me on the back and said, 'Outside.'
So, yeah, I was shitting bricks.
Oh, shit.
So I've brought you outside tonight -
I just want to know what your intentions with my sister are.
I want to make sure this all rolls smoothly
and you're not here to (BLEEP) her around
and break her heart,
because I don't want to have to (BLEEP).
Who?
Shit.
What are you after? Oh, mate, um...
I'll tell you right now,
I don't want to get beaten up by you.
I tried to avoid any sort of confrontation
but holy cow, this happening.
Cheers, good. Mick. How are you doing?
How are you going? Yeah, just...
Yeah, just good.
What did you think of your best man's speech?
I thought it was inappropriate at a wedding like this.
Um, don't get me wrong, I love my friends
and that sort of thing, but that was just,
yeah, that was just stupid. But you know...
It's not something you say in a best man's speech,
especially me being the bigger brother and protective.
Yes. She's dated a lot of dickheads
in the past and I've had to sort that out for her
and I just want her to meet someone nice that looks after her.
Absolutely. I'm, yeah, I hope I'm that person for her.
Rhyce coming over and chatting was probably a good thing.
You know, he's just making sure his little sister's
going to get looked after and, you know,
I hope I'm that bloke to look after her.
Absolutely, yeah. Well, just...
Nah, yeah, shit yeah. She obviously deserves it. Absolutely.
From that conversation, if I drift down the wrong path,
I reckon I'll have more than two people on my back, so...
Hopefully you make her happy. Yeah, good as gold.
I'll see you later anyway. Yeah, will do.
Thanks very much, yeah.
(QUIRKY MUSIC)
(LAUGHS) Something you prepared earlier.
Put something into it. (CHUCKLES)
Mel and Dino are superficially very different,
but if they really work to get to know each other,
I'm confident that they'll find common ground.
So, um, you're spiritual and you're, yeah,
you're very in tune with all that stuff.
Like, you can see... Yeah, yeah.
Like, I'm not, though.
That's alright. Spirituality, it comes when you're actually ready.
I had this dream.
I dreamt of this masculine figure
at the Himalayan mountains, with a snake around their neck.
I woke up in tears, you know - it was like the start of something.
A new phase of my life.
So I think this journey is for both us
and I genuinely think, you know,
it's a connection that's meant to happen.
Yeah, I still don't understand the dream, though,
that you just said, about the guy with the snake and stuff, so yeah.
So, baby steps. That was too much. Yeah, baby steps.
That answer was too much for me,
because I'm in like beginners bloody,
like, you know, spiritual school.
Compromise is very important in marriage.
It is a two-way street.
If I'm talking one language
and she's actually not understanding me,
we're going to be totally going the opposite directions
and I want us to come together
and I do need to take baby steps with her,
because I think it'll make us both grow.
I wanted someone who was confident
and I wanted someone who's just themselves and you are amazing.
You are so confident in yourself and that's beautiful.
Never change that, please.
Never change that. See, well, actually,
that was one of my things that I said -
I said that I want to be with someone
who can be themselves and look at the other person
and let them be themselves
and just love them for them. Beautiful.
I'm not at all a spiritual person,
so yeah, I think he's now aware
and I think that he understands that.
And the experts,
they've obviously put us together for a reason.
I am interested in learning about that side of things
and see if spirituality connects with me.
So, yeah. I'm even speaking like it now.
See if it connects with me, if I have an energy, yeah.
(TENSE MUSIC)
At the minute, I've got mixed feelings.
I think Mick is hilarious,
I think he's good-looking and I get a good vibe.
But then my family are sort of just a little bit more apprehensive.
(LAUGHS) ELIZA: I wasn't so happy
with the groomsman speech.
It wasn't very tasteful for a wedding,
especially for someone you've just met.
It doesn't look very good on Mick's behalf.
I feel like maybe he might take life as a joke.
Yeah, would he be able to have a serious conversation with you?
Yeah, would he be able to be deep with you?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I didn't even think about that. Like, you need someone...
I feel Mick is putting on a little bit of a facade tonight.
I'm really worried that he's not ready to step out
of that boy phase of like, you know, out with the boys, having a drink.
But I am looking for love. I would be absolutely heartbroken
if it turned out that this was just a joke to him.
So yeah, I've spoken to everybody tonight
and my family mean everything to me and their opinion is a lot.
I'm obviously in this for a life partner
and they just worry that - you know, like,
they don't want me to be hurt. Mmm.
And your friend, he took the one... Do not believe a word that he said.
Are you sure? Positive.
Everything.
Well, I'm glad.
I've been told I don't take a lot of things seriously enough
but it's something that I probably need to try a bit harder
to show Jess.
So how long have you lived out where you are now?
Uh, about a year and a half, two years. Yeah.
And you've always done farm life?
Nope. What made you want to do that?
One of my mates who couldn't actually make it tonight,
he's got 14 acres and he's got a couple of kids
and I was like, this is how I wanna live.
So you want children?
They're something that you do want? Yeah, yeah, of course.
Excellent. A couple of tackers running around.
If I'm gonna have kids, I want them to be not on your phone,
on your iPad... Nah, they need to utilise
their imagination.
I like that that's your way of thinking.
It's exactly like mine.
Mmm. So that's great.
We had a beautiful chat. It's really re-lit all of those emotions I had
from when I first met him.
I'm feeling so much more relaxed
and so much more confident in this now.
How are you, warm? I'm freezing.
Really? Yeah, feel my arm.
You are, too. Do you want this? Thank you.
Having a woman like Jess,
it sort of makes you try to do the utmost to respect her,
because I'm feeling the start of something,
so I'm hoping she feels it too.
If I don't say much, that's when you know...
Good.
(GIGGLES) OK.
I'm happy. Good, good.
I did want to kiss him then
but I'm not one to take the lead on things like that.
Well, let's go in. Yeah, let's go.
You right, darl? Yeah, sorry.
(GIGGLES) Ah, God damn.
(CHURCH BELLS)
(EPIC DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(CHEERING)
As the festivities draw to a close, our newlywedded couples
head into the future together as husband and wife.
I think Mick's a great guy
and I really want my family to see that.
Love you!
I'm really excited to see where this goes.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
I think you're a top bloke.
So far. Definitely ticking
all the boxes so far.
That's good. (GIGGLES)
Cheers.
To us.
To a happy marriage.
If you said this morning this is how it would have panned out,
I probably would have called you a liar,
but I'm definitely looking forward to getting to know her a bit more.
I need some help undoing my dress. You need a hand?
Yes, please. Oh, with pleasure.
Oh, wow, this is nice. (GIGGLES)
First night together as husband and wife, you know,
you don't pull the icing sugar out and put it on a cake
if you haven't baked it yet.
There we go.
Obviously sex has crossed my mind a little bit.
He is a really good kisser.
Like, really good.
I'm hoping for a couple more kisses
and some nice cuddling and then I'm hoping that he'll surprise me.
As Jess and Mick settle in for the night,
Mel and Dino arrive at their hotel.
Thank you. (GIGGLES)
I think Dino's great, even though,
you know, we as personalities may be different,
we still have the same kind of endgame
of what we're looking for.
Oh, my gosh.
I have been single for eight years.
The fact that I haven't had a relationship for so long,
I've forgotten what it's like to be in one.
Here, I can do my lemon water.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I'll do my coffee and bacon and eggs or something,
you have your little lemon water and plant or something.
It has been a while since I've, uh...
Had a man.
(QUIRKY MUSIC)
I'll just sit here and drink my champagne while he showers.
Mmm, I shouldn't have done that.
Yeah, I've forgotten what I'm like in a relationship,
what they're like, what I'm meant to do.
Hey. Hi.
How was your shower?
Good. Oh, I needed that one.
Yeah, I know. I'm actually glad that I went,
because I could have just passed out.
Yeah. Good shower.
So refreshed. Yep, I was like,
it's so good to get my make-up off.
It is, hey?
What do you mean? Did you have some on?
No. (BOTH LAUGH)
So far, I'm feeling, yeah, there is definitely a connection.
So you sleep on your side? Yeah. Huh?
Do you sleep on your side?
I sometimes sleep on my side, yeah. Oh, good.
My side, or my back or yeah. I feel like you're taking up
a lot of the room, though, yeah. Oh, yeah, of course.
I think the sparks are going to fly in so many different ways.
Tomorrow night...
Can't hide it. I'm just gonna be freaking out.
I think I'm gonna vomit.
..one match is sizzling...
Oh, my God.
This is the biggest thing I've ever done.
..but the other looks like fizzling...
I'm just here for the food and the drinks.
..unless Mark can win over...
It's difficult to tell whether she even likes me.
..his bristling bride.
No, that's even worse!
Any excuse to touch me, geez.
