00:00I'm feeling shit scared.
00:05Last night, my life is definitely about to change forever.
00:09Four singles were married to complete strangers.
00:14Shit.
00:15They put their lives in the hands of three leading relationship experts.
00:20So do we have a match?
00:22Who matched them using a mix of science and psychology.
00:28Hi, I'm Erin. How are you?
00:30Nice to meet you.
00:31Erin met Bryce for the very first time at the altar.
00:34Hi, Erin.
00:35Take you, guy I just met 30 seconds ago.
00:38And his charm.
00:39I'm a really patient person.
00:41Won her over.
00:42I really do want to find love.
00:44I hope that Bryce can be that person.
00:47For bride Christy, her new husband had the opposite effect.
00:53Didn't feel it.
00:55At all.
00:56I'm not going to fake it.
00:58But with his humour.
00:59I know a lot of you have flown in from all over the country.
01:02So hopefully your arms aren't too tired.
01:05Mark slowly wooed his new bride.
01:08I feel so comfortable around him.
01:11I am desenred in Robert Shubbin.
01:16Tonight...
01:19..the experts will match the final two couples.
01:22I'm freaking out right now.
01:40I am shitting myself.
01:45This is the craziest thing I've ever done.
01:49Oh, yeah.
01:52I just, like, I'm like, what am I doing?
01:56What am I doing?
01:59Oh, shit.
02:09Last night, Erin and Bryce were married,
02:12and they've just spent their first night together.
02:17Morning.
02:19I heard you the first time you knocked.
02:21Welcome to the Love Shack.
02:28Morning after the big night.
02:30Yeah.
02:34Yeah, I reckon it's so far so good.
02:36Yeah, I think it's been good so far.
02:37One long black and one just soy flat white will be fine, thanks.
02:45Surely, surely you can do a little special delivery for a newlywed couple this morning.
02:52Good one.
02:53Play the newlywed card.
02:54I don't feel like I should have to say whether or not there was sex between my husband and I.
03:05Yeah, nah, we stayed up all night, we braided each other's hair, we told ghost stories.
03:09Yeah, that's what happened.
03:11That's all you need to know.
03:12Christy and Mark are also waking up from their first night of married life.
03:28Morning.
03:29I think Christy's just having a shower, she's beautifying herself.
03:34I think we had about three hours sleep last night, and I think the rest of the time we've
03:38just been chatting away to each other, so.
03:44Everything about Christy's been easy, yeah.
03:48Not in that respect.
03:50It's been easy to get along with, she's an easy person to be around.
03:54I should rework the phrase that, yeah.
03:58That's right, Christy couldn't keep her hands to herself last night, so I had to get pillows
04:04and put them down the bed.
04:05What should we name it again?
04:06Because it was like the third person was a stomach.
04:08Ah, it was like, no, well I said it was the Great Wall of Christy, but no.
04:12Have we slept together?
04:15No.
04:17No.
04:20No.
04:25With four singles matched and married, our three leading relationship experts must now match
04:31the final two couples.
04:34An individual needs to be committed for this experiment to succeed.
04:38What excites me about this is to see if we can take what we know from the lab into the
04:44real world.
04:45So it's time to find out who our final two couples will be.
04:52We must have been linked with Jono and I think he's ready.
04:56I would describe myself as an active, out there, easy-going kind of person.
05:10And maybe in the past, not really thinking of the sort of consequences.
05:14When I was younger, I definitely spent way too much time with the boys.
05:18You know, things have changed now.
05:21Priorities change in life.
05:22You can't be 28, 30 years old going out every single weekend spending all your money.
05:27Your money's got to go towards your castle, your house, your family.
05:33Finding love is one of the most important things to me in my life.
05:37And that's what I want.
05:39Dono's a man's man. He has a very strong male energy.
05:44Interestingly, he's also very close with his mum.
05:47So it's a wonderful contrast between masculine but also a sensitivity.
05:52But he's kind of a lad. He likes that bonding that he gets from the guys around him.
05:58And I think also he has a really definite idea of the type of woman he wants.
06:02But his relationships don't tend to last the distance.
06:05I think what Jono doesn't realise is that he actually needs a strong woman to challenge him.
06:10I'd like to explore how Jono would fit with Claire.
06:15This is you.
06:18Wonderful. Thanks a lot.
06:20They do tend to attract the wrong type of guy.
06:23I guess they feel that they're coming up to have a chat to some tall blonde bimbo.
06:29I am probably the clumsiest person you will ever meet.
06:34I'm actually a big country kid.
06:36So there you go.
06:37Oh my God!
06:39I'm all cute for that guy.
06:41I can be a little bit...
06:43Beautiful.
06:44...and he's dead.
06:45I guess bossy at times.
06:47Just adore the ridiculous.
06:53If it's something completely ridiculous, I'm the first one to volunteer.
07:02I do want to get married because I want to find that person.
07:05That person that's going to be by my side as I get old and grey and start tucking my boobs into my socks.
07:12With Claire and Jono, we have two big personalities, both vibrant and funny.
07:19And I think there's good potential there with them.
07:21Yes, there is potential.
07:23The danger is they're going to lock horns.
07:25I agree.
07:26There may be some locking of horns, but I think matching these two big personalities is what's going to give them the best chance of an enduring relationship.
07:34So have we got a match?
07:36We have.
07:37We've got a match.
07:38Jono and Claire.
07:39Fantastic.
07:42So it's time to find out who our final couple will be.
07:45Trisha, what's your thoughts on a match?
07:47I'd like to talk about Xavier.
07:57I'm Xavier.
07:58I'm 26.
08:00I do find people judge me on the way that I look.
08:04People quite often see me as a tall ex-football player.
08:11But I'm very down to earth.
08:17I'm getting to the point where my friends are getting married.
08:20It's kind of like, what about me?
08:23That's probably why I want this to work so badly.
08:27Yeah.
08:28Looking around his home, he's a guy who likes things to be a certain way.
08:34Welcome to my life.
08:35Wow.
08:36Okay.
08:37That's incredibly organised.
08:39I try to be.
08:40Wow.
08:41There's so much evidence of his organisation.
08:43And those high standards he has certainly come across.
08:46Yeah.
08:47One of the things about Xavier that's interesting, you know, he has a history of being cheated
08:52on.
08:53My trust has certainly been portrayed in the past.
08:57It hurt.
08:58It definitely hurt.
08:59It's not something you want to see anybody go through.
09:04So trust is a big issue for Xavier.
09:08I think he's going to make a great match for someone.
09:11So who do you like?
09:12Well, I think Simone.
09:14Who are your bridesmaids?
09:19I work as a make-up artist.
09:21I specialise in bridal.
09:23Why I haven't found love, I honestly...
09:28I don't know.
09:30I...
09:31Yeah, I'm really not sure.
09:33Both of them are pretty goal-directed and driven.
09:38And snooping around both of their homes, I did find those similarities.
09:43I'm seeing a lot of order here.
09:46Yeah.
09:47Would you say that that flows through into other areas of your life?
09:49Yes.
09:50I have a schedule.
09:51I have a diary.
09:52I know what I'm doing months in advance.
09:54Yeah, I like these guys.
09:56They're high achievers.
09:57It's almost like having two CEOs together.
10:00What's interesting about these two is that both of them have been cheated on.
10:05That was the hardest thing I've ever been through.
10:09And, um...
10:12Yeah.
10:17I'm ready to find that person.
10:19I'm ready to settle down.
10:22I'm ready to find the one.
10:25By the age of 29, I honestly thought that I would...
10:28I would be with the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with.
10:34What do you both think about the trust issues for these guys?
10:37I'm hoping that they're going to talk about their trust very early in the piece.
10:41You know, we're all going to have to wait and see whether they can let each other in.
10:44And essentially create a shared vision that's different.
10:48I think overall, they match on so many different levels, don't they?
10:52A great couple.
10:53Absolutely.
10:54So there you have it.
10:55We have our final two couples.
10:58Xavier and Simone.
11:00John Owen Clare.
11:05Coming up...
11:07The wedding day.
11:08Who does this?
11:11Who marries someone they've never met?
11:14Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
11:16This is crazy. Oh, my God.
11:19What will happen when our couples lock eyes for the first time?
11:31Our final two couples have been matched.
11:37Now, they must tell their loved ones of their imminent wedding.
11:42I think when my friends and family find out that I'm doing this,
11:45my friends will probably stop talking to me for about a week.
11:49I actually have something to tell you guys.
11:53What?
11:55I'm getting married.
11:57To who?
12:02What?
12:03What are you talking about?
12:04When?
12:06Who they've been married to?
12:08I don't know.
12:10Right.
12:11That's mental.
12:12I won't meet him until the altar.
12:16Stop it.
12:18Stop it.
12:20Does he need a visa?
12:23Did you buy someone?
12:24I definitely think Claire is crazy.
12:26I think she's probably completely lost her mind.
12:30Did you know about this?
12:31She knew.
12:32Cheers to the survival of the guy you're marrying.
12:34Congrats, hon.
12:36She's been a bit unlucky in love in the past,
12:38and she really deserves someone,
12:40and hopefully this mysterious guy that she's going to meet on the first day
12:45is that guy.
12:47It's mental.
12:49In Sydney, it's time for Simone to tell all to her family.
12:54Hi.
12:55Hi.
12:56Hello.
12:57What's going on?
12:58What's going on?
12:59Should I just tell you?
13:01Um, so I've...
13:05I've decided to get married.
13:10Really?
13:11To who?
13:12You're crying?
13:13Yeah.
13:14What do you mean?
13:15Do I cry for me?
13:16You're crying.
13:17What do you mean?
13:18I'm crying.
13:19You're getting married.
13:20To who?
13:22I'm crying.
13:23Stop crying.
13:25I don't know.
13:26I don't exactly know yet.
13:27You don't know?
13:28I don't know.
13:29Okay.
13:30I don't know who it is yet.
13:31But I've gone through a process in which they've, you know,
13:34worked out the perfect match for me.
13:37This is pretty serious.
13:38Yes.
13:39And I'm...
13:40I guess...
13:42I wanted...
13:43Of course, I want all my girls to get married.
13:47But I...
13:49I probably didn't expect it to be in this manner.
13:53I'm in total shock.
13:54I'm feeling excited for her.
13:57I'm feeling really proud for her.
13:59But I'm also feeling really scared.
14:04I'm happy for you.
14:05Whatever choices you make, I will support you.
14:07Okay.
14:08Congratulations.
14:09It's a huge weight off my shoulders.
14:11I want them to be a part of this as much as possible.
14:14I want my family there.
14:16I want my mum to help me pick my dress.
14:17I'm so glad that they can be a part of this now.
14:19Lovely.
14:20Fluffy skirt.
14:21Wow.
14:22We've got an organza skirt.
14:23That's all.
14:24Simone was always the one that wanted this the most.
14:26Oh, my gosh.
14:27Out of all my girls.
14:28Stop.
14:29Very overwhelming.
14:30I've only ever had one serious relationship.
14:34We're together for three and a half years.
14:36At the time, it felt right.
14:39He actually told me he had a ring.
14:41And then, literally, three days later, I found out there was a ring.
14:46And then, literally, three days later, I found out there was cheating on me.
14:52I was just...
14:53Yeah.
15:09It ended.
15:11Suddenly, and my confidence just went immediately.
15:15Yeah.
15:16I don't know who he is, and I guess I just hope that it will take the time and effort to earn my trust.
15:36Yeah, I've been cheated on in the past.
15:37You know, I think trust is everything.
15:38And when somebody instils their trust in me, that's the most important thing.
15:49That's the absolute foundation...
15:50I like it as well.
15:51..of any relationship.
15:52Nice.
15:53How does it feel?
15:54Yeah, it feels good.
15:55Do you feel like you're married now?
15:56Almost.
15:57The most important thing is for me to prove that to them.
16:07John-O is gearing up for his wedding.
16:08And then all of a sudden...
16:09BAM!
16:10At his bucks drinks with the boys.
16:11Jono is gearing up for his wedding at his Buck's drinks with the boys.
16:19So you worried about it or not?
16:20Yeah, I love it. It's great. I'm excited.
16:22Did you want it to happen this way or do you think it was going to happen a different way?
16:25Of course not, mate, but what an opportunity.
16:27Get professionals to match me with this perfectly good, amazing woman, apparently.
16:32What I miss about having a girlfriend would be just having sort of, you know, a best mate.
16:38Someone that you can turn to, someone to spend time with.
16:43You know, it gets a little bit boring sort of standing around with the boys all the time talking about the same old stuff.
16:49What are you hoping to see when you walk down the aisle?
16:52Describe it.
16:53Long.
16:54Small.
16:55Double.
16:56Brunette.
16:57Brunette.
16:58I think I found it.
17:00I know that I'm fussy. I know how I work, so...
17:04I'm in a wedding dress.
17:06I'm hoping the experts do get it right.
17:09His dream girl would probably be exactly like him.
17:13If he can love someone as much as he loves himself, then possibly, I'm not sure, he does love himself.
17:20Lots of mirrors in his house.
17:23But look, as long as she was funny and laughed at his jokes as much as he does, um, yeah, she...
17:30That would sort of be his type of girl.
17:34Okay, I think we're recording.
17:37Yeah, I've got the tennis racket.
17:39You good?
17:40Alright, we're ready?
17:41You're good.
17:42I'll be recording.
17:43Oh, yeah.
17:44Come on.
17:45Oh, yeah.
17:46Come on.
17:47Just a small town girl, living in a lovely world, she took the midnight train going anywhere.
18:00My last night as a single woman.
18:03Um, I can't wait to see who it is that they've got standing for me there at the end of the aisle.
18:09Strangers waiting!
18:12I hope that he is kind and generous and funny and ridiculous and silly.
18:19I hope he kisses better than you.
18:23You've got horrible, horrible breath.
18:25I hope he's not a cat person because that's going to create a moving issue.
18:28John, stop!
18:32I think we need to stop.
18:36The wedding day is finally here.
18:39Claire and Jono and Simone and Xavier will soon meet at the altar.
18:45Just a bit hot.
18:48The experts saw something in me and they thought, she's kissed a few toads and she's, um, yeah,
18:58she's deserving of this.
19:00Are you shaking because you're nervous or you're shaking because you're so much-
19:03I'm shaking because I can't put them on because I'm just-
19:05Look.
19:06Like, I'm shaking.
19:07That's why it's taking forever.
19:09This is a commitment.
19:11This is a, you know, this is a big commitment.
19:14I want to be able to have a marriage that lasts forever.
19:19I only want to get married once.
19:21Experts, I hope that you've done a good job because I am putting on a white dress.
19:29And I am going to marry somebody at first sight.
19:44In Melbourne, it's only hours before Claire and Jono meet and marry.
19:49Mama's getting married.
19:50Mama's getting married.
19:51Mama's getting married.
19:52What do you reckon?
19:53Yeah, it's just really hit me today.
19:56But today I'm getting married.
19:59To someone I don't know.
20:01Damn it.
20:02What are your concerns?
20:03Yeah, that's a good one.
20:06What else?
20:07Yeah, fair.
20:08I didn't think of that.
20:09Good point.
20:10Do I have any insecurities?
20:12How long does this program go for?
20:15A lot of insecurities.
20:18What if he hates me?
20:20He wouldn't hate you.
20:21You know how annoying I can be.
20:24I'm just worried that he won't like me or I won't be the body type that he's after
20:28because I'm not a stick thin type girl.
20:32I think I'm already coming across as a crazy dog woman though.
20:35Yeah, but that's the truth.
20:37Yeah.
20:38Oh, Dutchie farted.
20:39It's bad.
20:40See, I'm so ready for a husband.
20:45I'm husband ready.
20:47I can handle farts and snoring.
20:50I got this.
20:51That is so bad.
20:52Take cover.
20:55Claire might be husband ready, but across town, Jono is getting anxious.
21:00God, I'm starting to get butterflies now.
21:02The main thing that I've been nervous about this whole time
21:07is making sure that we have that initial connection.
21:12You know, that chemistry.
21:14Don't film me putting on deodorant.
21:17Creep.
21:18I hope that she would probably be fairly fit.
21:22There's no bad fight issues.
21:24Can you shove it in?
21:25And I like a girl that knows how to dress well as well too.
21:30I'm so Cinderella right now.
21:33Ready to do this?
21:35Right, so I need to concentrate on breathing.
21:39Seriously, this dress.
21:41I can't move.
21:43At the Botanic Gardens in the heart of Sydney,
21:46all is ready for Simone and Xavier to meet.
21:50Finally here.
21:51A lot of your questions will be answered now, won't they?
21:52I think so.
21:53I think so.
21:54I feel so nervous right now.
21:55Who is she?
21:56What's she going to look like?
21:57It's diabolical to be honest.
21:59I think that I probably want this more than I can even put into words.
22:13Breathe.
22:14My biggest fear would be that I'm like, yeah, you're it.
22:31And he says when I feel the same way.
22:32I'm freaking out.
22:46Will she be right for me?
22:50Oh, God.
22:51Things just all of a sudden just keep me here.
23:02It's like it's not a joke.
23:07Am I crazy?
23:09It's basically Tinder and crack.
23:11Yeah.
23:12And I don't do crack.
23:13Oh, my God.
23:16Oh, my God.
23:17This is crazy.
23:21Oh, my God.
23:22My heart's just racing.
23:27This is a risk.
23:29This is a huge risk.
23:39I'm freaking out right now.
23:49I am shitting myself.
23:54It's killing me.
23:56It's killing me.
23:57Oh, yeah.
24:01I just, like, I'm like, what am I doing?
24:04What am I doing?
24:07Oh, shit.
24:14Shit.
24:15Shit.
24:16Shit.
24:17Shit.
24:18Shit.
24:19Just as a pure fact of, I don't know who this girl is.
24:24That's a pretty funny thing.
24:29Who does this?
24:31Who marries someone they've never met?
24:34I'm worried that I might walk down the aisle and he'll think, oh, big fawn princess.
24:47Oh, shit.
24:49I might not like what I see.
24:51And I suppose that's the biggest fear.
24:54I know straight away within the first few seconds if I like this person and if I don't.
25:00This could be the start of a beautiful love story.
25:07Maybe today is the start of a very amusing train wreck for everybody else.
25:13Oh, shit.
25:26For Simone and Xavier, the wait is nearly over.
25:30Oh, my God.
25:34Oh, my God.
25:35Oh, my God.
25:36I know.
25:37This is insane.
25:41The anxiety and the nervousness is overpowering.
25:47I hope that I feel that instant spark.
25:51I am scared about putting my heart on the line.
26:04However, I know I need to do this.
26:10I am Simone.
26:34Simone.
26:35That's me.
26:37Wow.
26:44Wow would be the way to go, I think.
26:47I think that she's the most beautiful girl I've ever met in my life.
26:54You all right there?
26:55Yes, I'm good.
26:56I think.
26:57OK.
26:58Yeah.
26:59Yeah.
27:00He's quite a looker.
27:02Like, really.
27:03He is.
27:04Like, if he's walking down the street, you're going to take a second glance.
27:06This is good.
27:07So far, so good.
27:09Well done to the experts.
27:11Yeah, this is good.
27:13Family and friends, you are gathered here today to share in the joy of this union.
27:19These two lovely people have chosen to become husband and wife.
27:24Yep.
27:25Whether you believe in fate or believe in science, it's undeniable that this couple will look like a great match.
27:34To me, love is somebody I can trust wholeheartedly.
27:39Somebody I can rely on.
27:41I promise to be loyal.
27:43I promise to be loyal.
27:44And honest above all.
27:45And honest above all.
27:47To my new bride.
27:48To my new bride.
27:49No matter the situation.
27:51No matter the situation.
27:52I, Xavier.
27:53I, Xavier.
27:54Take you, Simone.
27:55Take you, Simone.
27:56To be my wife.
27:57To be my wife.
28:02I vow to always be true.
28:04I vow to always be true.
28:06To you as we venture.
28:07To you as we venture.
28:09Into the unknown.
28:10Into the unknown.
28:11With all that I am.
28:12With all that I am.
28:13And without reservation.
28:15And without reservation.
28:16I give my heart to you.
28:18I, Simone.
28:19Hi, Simone.
28:20Hi, Simone.
28:21Take you, Xavier.
28:22Take you, Xavier.
28:23To be my husband.
28:24To be my husband.
28:27You'll now exchange rings.
28:29Oh, you do have small fingers?
28:31I'm shaking.
28:36On!
28:37It now gives me the absolute greatest pleasure
28:40to pronounce them husband and wife.
28:43You may kiss your beautiful bride for the first time.
28:49Woo!
28:51Married!
28:57My husband.
28:58I already said my husband.
29:00Oh, my goodness.
29:01Xavier.
29:02No, he's my husband.
29:03I got a ring.
29:04There you go.
29:05My husband.
29:06How funny.
29:15Claire and Jono now hope that the experts
29:17have made the right choice for them.
29:20This could be the start of a beautiful love story.
29:24Or maybe today is the start of a very amusing train wreck
29:28for everybody else.
29:34Thank you for studying.
29:35Thank you, darling.
29:36That was really good.
29:38Oh, shit.
29:39You okay?
29:40Neil.
29:41Nice to meet you.
29:42Bye.
29:43Nice to meet you.
29:44Nice to meet you.
29:45Well.
29:46Yeah.
29:47We're doing this.
29:48Exactly.
29:49He's cute.
29:50He's a good-looking guy.
29:51He's cute.
29:52He's a good-looking guy.
29:53So, good first impression.
29:54Good first impression.
29:57Thank you, Neil.
29:58Nice to meet you.
29:59Nice to meet you.
30:00Well.
30:01Yeah.
30:02We're doing this.
30:03Exactly.
30:04He's cute.
30:05He's a good-looking guy.
30:06He's a good first impression.
30:07Oh, God.
30:08Oh, God.
30:09You all right?
30:10Yeah, I'm good.
30:11Are you good?
30:12You're good?
30:13No.
30:14No.
30:15No.
30:16No.
30:17No.
30:18No.
30:19No.
30:20No.
30:21No.
30:22No.
30:23No.
30:24No.
30:25No.
30:26No.
30:27No.
30:28No.
30:29No.
30:30No.
30:31No.
30:32No.
30:33No.
30:34No.
30:35No.
30:36No.
30:38No.
30:39No.
30:40Definitely a little bit of chemistry from my side.
30:43If he doesn't say the same, that's going to be really awkward.
30:46Well, welcome ladies and gentlemen to the wedding of Jono and Claire.
30:51First things first, Jono meet Claire.
30:54Hi.
30:56And Claire meet Jono.
30:58It's me.
30:59Yeah, you too.
31:02Here we go.
31:03Just remember to breathe, and if I turn, tell me to breathe.
31:05OK, done.
31:08Of course, I do have that concern that I may not be what he's after.
31:11I mean, who knows?
31:13Maybe I'm not what he ordered, which is, of course, a concern.
31:20She's basically the opposite of what I expected to walk down the aisle.
31:25She's not what I ordered.
31:29This decision is a brave one.
31:31A decision that will change their lives and the course of their lives forever.
31:38Because from this day forward, you will live together as husband and wife.
31:45In sickness and in health.
31:47This is the craziest thing I've ever done.
31:51I invite you both to turn and face each other.
31:57Hi.
32:01Jono, I'm going to ask you a question, and I'd like you to then answer it in the most honest way that you know how.
32:07Yep.
32:08And I want you to look deep into Claire's eyes.
32:10All right.
32:14You're feeling your shaking.
32:16All right, I'm good.
32:19You're going to do that.
32:19All right.
32:20Don't faint.
32:21No, I'm good.
32:22We're good.
32:23Jono, I need you to repeat some words after me.
32:27All right.
32:29Jono, do you take Claire to be your wife?
32:37Yes.
32:51Jono, I'm going to ask you a question, and I'd like you to answer it in the most honest way that you know how.
32:56Yep.
33:01And I want you to look deep into Claire's eyes.
33:03All right.
33:03Jono, do you take Clare to be your wife?
33:16I do.
33:21If the dream image of a partner doesn't match reality, our couples need to trust in the experiment.
33:29The brain may be telling them that this is not their ideal partner.
33:34But they need to move through those preconceptions and look a little bit deeper.
33:40She's not normally someone that I would be attracted to.
33:44But I believe the experts do know me well enough to match me.
33:50Clare, do you take Jono to be your husband from this day forward?
33:56I do.
33:58Bit of a weird feeling, like obviously this is an uncomfortable situation for everybody.
34:03Good job.
34:04Thanks.
34:06I'd like you to look deep into her eyes.
34:08Okay.
34:09I like gazing in this.
34:10That's crazy.
34:13But she's laughing, she's giggling.
34:15She was a lot calmer than what I was.
34:18Good, you got it.
34:18Hey!
34:19Well done.
34:20Awesome.
34:21Fits.
34:21Looks great.
34:22Bonus.
34:22Which made me feel comfortable, I think.
34:28It's all right.
34:29Goodness me.
34:30You're shaking.
34:31Got it.
34:31Good work.
34:32Yeah.
34:34Is that the appropriate thing to you at your wedding?
34:39I have no idea.
34:40This is the first time I've ever gotten married.
34:42It gives me the greatest pleasure to declare that they are now husband and wife.
34:49Jono, you may now kiss the bride.
34:58You're taking all the lees with me.
35:00Street sweeper.
35:03Yeah.
35:04It's my fourth job.
35:06Yesterday I was single, and today I am married.
35:09I'm coming really close for this one.
35:11That's beautiful just there.
35:15I'm Mrs. Xavier something.
35:18I don't even know.
35:19I'll have to go find that one out.
35:20Can I come back to you on that one?
35:23Good choice.
35:24Very good choice.
35:26All right.
35:27Hey, guys, for this one, I want a serious kiss.
35:31What's that?
35:31Can we have a serious kiss?
35:33So I can't hear from all the way over there.
35:35Sorry.
35:36I'm not going to hash him half hour in.
35:39That's just, yeah, not happening.
35:41Big hug.
35:41A bit of a passionate kiss.
35:43I don't have a passionate kiss.
35:44No, that's like...
35:45We're not there yet.
35:46Yeah, we're not quite there yet.
35:47I do want to sort of get to know her for a little bit more than one hour before I even
35:52start thinking about that sort of thing.
35:54And just have a little kiss for us, guys.
35:56There's nobody here watching.
35:58Oh, they want out.
35:59I guess.
35:59He's a good kisser.
36:15Yeah.
36:16Yeah.
36:17I'm glad we did that.
36:24Yeah.
36:25Yeah.
36:26No, he's...
36:26Yeah.
36:27We'll just leave it at that for the moment, I think.
36:33I'm going to try to do this without flashing anybody.
36:35No, you're right.
36:37I'll be a gentleman.
36:37Oh, my goodness.
36:41Yeah.
36:43It's pretty strange.
36:44Oh.
36:45What made you do it?
36:46What made you do it first?
36:47Okay.
36:47You go first.
36:49Why not?
36:50Yeah.
36:50Why not?
36:51You're all about to lose.
36:52Yeah.
36:52I need to get myself a wifey.
36:54Yeah.
36:54I need to pull myself in the wild.
36:55You know what I need to do?
36:56Get myself a random wifey that I've never met.
36:58Yeah, because I don't make any good choices before that.
37:01Me either.
37:02Actually, how old are you?
37:0432.
37:05Okay.
37:05How old are you?
37:06I'm 28.
37:06Yeah, I'll tell you my husband.
37:09Which, what about a younger guy?
37:11Was that one of your things?
37:12Was it when they said, no, you didn't care?
37:15You didn't ask for it?
37:15No, okay.
37:16Well, as long as you were, like, legal.
37:19Yeah, she is really funny.
37:21She's a really funny girl.
37:23I'm broke at the moment, so.
37:24Yeah, nah, I'm with you on that.
37:25They're like, oh, damn it.
37:28I was only doing this for money.
37:31Very quick.
37:31Very quick-minded.
37:33That's a good thing.
37:34Yeah.
37:36Just look at each other for me.
37:38Okay.
37:39Oh, I guess.
37:39Whoa, hey.
37:41You've got nice teeth.
37:42Thanks.
37:42Yeah.
37:43I've bleached the crap out of them.
37:45Jesus.
37:46Hey, saw that.
37:47You're on a bit further away now.
37:48What did I do?
37:49Sneaky boob, Jack.
37:51I actually don't think I did.
37:52It seems like a really cool, cool chick.
37:57I don't really feel too awkward around it.
37:59That's a good thing.
38:01Ah, I'm stuck on a bridge.
38:04It's okay.
38:04Stay there.
38:05I'll grab it.
38:09Guys, please welcome the bride and groom, Xavier and Simone.
38:11Everyone, to Xavier and Simone.
38:28Simone, he is low-maintenance.
38:31Normally brown rice, tuna, and a protein shake, and he's all right.
38:34Sounds like my diet.
38:37What do you usually drink?
38:38Dave doesn't drink.
38:39Yeah.
38:40You don't drink that much?
38:40Nah.
38:41Neither do I.
38:41Nah, I hardly drink.
38:42Yeah, me either.
38:43Eugene and I built, like, a pizza oven.
38:46Oh, yeah.
38:47Pizza, that's my extra problem.
38:48That's my favorite barring, pizza.
38:50Favorite food?
38:51Yeah, I like pizza.
38:52I am surprised at how similar we are.
38:56Simone's up at 5 o'clock going to the gym as well, so...
38:59We have so much in common.
39:01Just the little things, like, just your daily lifestyle.
39:05I was just like, I'm in such a routine.
39:07That was big on that.
39:08With my thing that...
39:09I'm in such a routine as well.
39:11You're fully routine.
39:11100%.
39:12Yes, I'm...
39:12Like, I leave at the same time each day.
39:14Yeah, same.
39:15And I have to be really prepared for, like, my food and stuff.
39:18Is this for real?
39:19Nah.
39:19No way.
39:20Same.
39:21No way, same.
39:21So, yeah, it's pretty good so far.
39:23Look, I prep meals on Sundays.
39:25That's mad.
39:26Do you prep...
39:26I try to prep meals, but I eat them all on Monday.
39:28I'm good on that.
39:29I've got nothing left.
39:29Yeah, nothing was the week.
39:31I've done that before, too.
39:32Because I'm not even able to eat two lunches.
39:33We have that in common.
39:34We have that in common.
39:35We have that in common.
39:35And that's so nice that you have that instant connection.
39:45Did you get bitten by a zombie?
39:46Yeah.
39:47I promised to shoot you in the head.
39:50And I expect that you would do the same for me.
39:51Okay.
39:52She's funny.
39:53There, she is making me laugh.
39:55And I've actually got...
39:56My face is actually sore from laughing and smiling so much.
39:59So...
40:00What's your nickname, Jono?
40:01Yeah.
40:02I've got a few.
40:03What are they?
40:03Big John.
40:04Very...
40:05Oh, okay.
40:06Well, that's...
40:06That's promising.
40:07Yeah.
40:07Jono's hilarious.
40:11We've had a great time together.
40:14And it's pretty hot.
40:16So...
40:18Thumbs up.
40:19On that.
40:21She's easy.
40:22Like, she's just...
40:23She's easy to talk to.
40:24She's not awkward.
40:25But saying that...
40:28Chemistry's a massive thing for me.
40:29When you have someone in your mind for such a long time,
40:35you're pretty set that they're going to look like that.
40:40When you first saw her, like, honestly,
40:41what was going through your head?
40:43It wasn't what I expected.
40:44And I mean that in, like, not a bad way,
40:47but, like, I mean it as in, like, I was expecting brunette.
40:50She's a tall, blonde-headed...
40:54A lapsus girl.
40:55Yeah, exactly.
40:56Holding on to unrealistic standards of an ideal partner
41:01can be a major barrier to finding love.
41:04Because when the right person's in front of you,
41:06you rule them out.
41:08Hey, honestly, I reckon she's a really well-suited chick to you.
41:11She's really down to earth.
41:12And you just seem to be able to bounce off each other for it.
41:14And you seem to have a good laugh at the time.
41:16So, honestly, I reckon...
41:17..could be on a winner, I reckon, in my opinion.
41:19Hopefully.
41:20I reckon she's a croquet, mate.
41:21And you should just...
41:23..open your mind, roll into it,
41:25and see what can happen, honestly.
41:29She's a stutter, mate.
41:32I would say you're bantered between each other, mate.
41:35I would say you'll laugh all out with someone in a long time.
41:38Boys brought up a really good point.
41:39And I can see that she's a real person.
41:41She's not fake.
41:42What you see is what you get.
41:44And she just...
41:45She's confident.
41:46And maybe that's what I need.
41:48I think I might go with Dahl.
41:54Dahl.
41:55Is Dahl okay?
41:56Dahl?
41:57Yeah.
41:57All right, sweet cheeks.
41:58Yes.
42:00That's not going to work.
42:01Dahl makes me sound old.
42:02Hey, Dahl.
42:03Hey, Dahl.
42:04Sweetheart.
42:06Sweetheart.
42:07No worries, Dahl.
42:08Dahl.
42:14So for those of you who do not know me,
42:15my name is Shannon,
42:16and I am Simone's little sister.
42:19I'm already going to cry.
42:21Sorry.
42:24We are proud of you for never giving up on love.
42:26I'm so sorry.
42:31It hasn't always been easy for you
42:33through no fault of your own.
42:37We are honoured to be standing next to you today
42:39as you take another leap of faith
42:40for the one thing we're all searching for.
42:43To love and be loved in return.
42:49Your unwavering certainty that love still exists,
42:53even after a few heartbreaks,
42:56is a testament to the woman you are today.
42:59You are braver than I could have ever been.
43:03The risk with this whole thing,
43:06it's putting myself out there
43:07in front of my family and my friends.
43:11This may not work out,
43:12and that can be quite humiliating
43:14to put yourself out there only to be hurt.
43:19But I want to be able to trust somebody.
43:23I can't let what's happened in the past
43:25you don't take over my life.
43:28So if the experts are to be proven right,
43:30and you are in fact my perfect match,
43:33I cannot put into words just how excited I am
43:37at the thought of how much fun we're going to have together.
43:39I cannot wait to get to know you
43:41and learn all about you,
43:43your family,
43:44your friends,
43:44your work,
43:45because I've wanted to know all of these things
43:48since I got the phone call
43:49saying that you'd be here today
43:51and waiting just for me.
43:55Thank you for taking this risk.
43:58Thank you for taking the chance to fall in love.
44:00But most of all,
44:05more than anything,
44:06I thank you for taking that chance on me.
44:12Of course I'm smitten.
44:13It's really hard to believe that a girl like that
44:25has been single for so long.
44:28During somebody's speech,
44:29I actually felt quite emotional.
44:33It makes me want to prove my trust to her.
44:38It couldn't be more perfect.
44:48I'm really happy with it.
44:50Super happy, yeah.
44:54I think that we've got
44:55something amazing that's about to happen.
44:58Woo!
44:59Oh, that was pretty good.
45:01Yeah, that was pretty good.
45:08Hey, wifey, wife.
45:14It's a bit of a spark, so...
45:16Woman.
45:17It could either be something
45:18or an awesome friendship.
45:20I feel like it could go either way.
45:21Chicky babe.
45:22But a great relationship
45:23is always based on a great friendship, so...
45:26Woman.
45:26If he calls me woman again,
45:27I'm going to kick him.
45:28And I've actually just had a really fun day.
45:31Our friends got along ridiculously well.
45:34I think they may be new best friends.
45:37Woo!
45:38Yeah!
45:40Oh, thank you!
45:42Point proven.
45:49This is going to be fast.
45:50Okay.
45:51Over the break.
45:53How amazing.
45:54Wow!
45:58Trust I didn't get this going.
46:00All night, it's felt like we're at the wedding
46:01of any other wedding,
46:03like the people have been together for a while.
46:05I keep having, like, to remind myself
46:07that this is...
46:08they've only just met.
46:09Like, they just seem like
46:09they've known each other for years.
46:13All right, you ready?
46:14We'll both do it.
46:15Okay, ready?
46:16Three, two, one.
46:17Ooh!
46:20Ah!
46:23It's absolutely terrified coming into today.
46:25This is an insane experiment.
46:27You lead and I follow?
46:28Is that how it works?
46:29You lead, I follow.
46:31No, you lead.
46:32You're the guy.
46:32Okay.
46:34And to be doing this is just so out of my comfort zone.
46:39So out of my comfort zone.
46:40There's so many similarities between the both of us.
46:53It's just so many different things that we've got in common.
46:56It's not what I expected to see.
46:57It's just not my sort of type that I would normally go after.
47:01But I'm definitely finding her more attractive
47:04as I get to know her.
47:05She's an absolutely gorgeous beautiful girl.
47:07At the moment, you are.
47:30I think the experts might know me better than what I know myself.
47:35As the weddings draw to a close,
47:43our couples head off for their first night alone.
47:49I think it's a big deal to meet somebody like Simone.
47:54It's not actually that easy.
47:56I think she's somebody that many, many guys out there
47:59would search for but never come across.
48:04I am definitely someone who believes in finding the one,
48:20that person that is going to be your beautiful life partner.
48:24If she was the one, it would be sensational.
48:29That would be everything I asked for. It would be awesome.
48:33I just have to wait and see. She could be the one.
48:37I hope tomorrow that I walk towards somebody that I just wanted so badly to...
48:55say, you know what Simone you are, what I've been waiting for.
49:13You eat, you're good enough.
49:25I've tried so hard. I've tried so hard.
49:29I would've tried so hard. It's tough.
