00:00:01Today is the biggest day of my life.
00:00:04I've never been so nervous in my entire life.
00:00:06Everything is riding on today.
00:00:08Previously.
00:00:09The whole purpose of life is to be loved.
00:00:12I believe in the fairy tale.
00:00:14Four brave singles met and married at first sight.
00:00:17You look beautiful, by the way.
00:00:20For Daveed and Kia.
00:00:21You look amazing.
00:00:22The attraction was instant.
00:00:24I'm like a schoolgirl with a crush.
00:00:27I'm taken.
00:00:27But for Sarah and Dean.
00:00:30No, I don't fancy Dean.
00:00:31This is a little song.
00:00:33A grand musical gesture.
00:00:35We'll build a life together, you and me.
00:00:40Mark the end of a difficult day for the bride.
00:00:43Too much, too soon.
00:00:46Can't believe we're here.
00:00:48Tonight.
00:00:49This is like dreams.
00:00:50As the first set of newlyweds head on honeymoon.
00:00:54For Daveed and Kia.
00:00:55Do you want to see a rhino's horn?
00:00:57Is it the horn you're excited about?
00:00:58An innuendo too far.
00:01:00Everything has to be an innuendo or a joke.
00:01:02I need the E-part.
00:01:03Calls their match into question.
00:01:05Whoa, dude!
00:01:06And Dean's urge to perform.
00:01:08Say hallelujah.
00:01:09No!
00:01:10Irk's new wife, Sarah.
00:01:11The outbursts of song and rapping really beginning to grate on me.
00:01:16Ahead of a frank confession.
00:01:19Have you ever been with anyone big or anything like that?
00:01:20No.
00:01:21It's hard to hear.
00:01:23That has left me feeling empty.
00:01:25And as two new couples say I do.
00:01:28I'm at a point in my life where I am looking for that real thing.
00:01:32One bride's show-stopping arrival.
00:01:34More on entrance.
00:01:36Spells a hopeful start to married life.
00:01:38I do fancy him.
00:01:40Dick, dick, dick.
00:01:42Hey.
00:01:43In stark contrast...
00:01:44I wouldn't say he's my type.
00:01:47...to the other's wedding day meltdown.
00:01:50I can't do it, sorry.
00:01:51It's the first morning of married life for our newlyweds.
00:02:06Our first night together was fabulous.
00:02:09We carried off in bed together.
00:02:12Kissed a lot.
00:02:14A lot.
00:02:17Nothing happened, I promise you.
00:02:19Nothing happened.
00:02:19Yikes!
00:02:22Yes!
00:02:22Come on, open it, open it!
00:02:24I'm so excited.
00:02:25Wow, come on.
00:02:26South Africa.
00:02:27Oh my god!
00:02:28That's sick!
00:02:29We're going to South Africa.
00:02:32I'm so excited.
00:02:34My god, what the f***?
00:02:35Come on!
00:02:37I'm so excited!
00:02:38I'm so excited!
00:02:40That's wild!
00:02:42He has a lot of energy.
00:02:44And he's 110 at all times.
00:02:47And I love it.
00:02:48But I'm at an 80.
00:02:48And he's at the 110.
00:02:50Oh my god, we're going to South Africa!
00:02:55I can't believe we're here!
00:03:04Look at this.
00:03:04This is like dream situation.
00:03:07Absolutely beautiful.
00:03:09And here we are.
00:03:10This is us.
00:03:11Let's head in.
00:03:12Oh my god!
00:03:15Oh my god!
00:03:17Look at the bomb!
00:03:19Look, you can see!
00:03:20See the fish!
00:03:21I'm mad!
00:03:23Oh my goodness, it's absolutely stunning.
00:03:26My biggest hope for this honeymoon is to get to know the real Sarah, and Sarah to get to know the real Dean.
00:03:31Just absolutely beautiful, isn't it?
00:03:34Oh my.
00:03:34Step in, step in.
00:03:35Oh, it's going to be cool.
00:03:36You're there, you're there.
00:03:36Oh no, we're in, we're in.
00:03:37You're in, you're in, you're in, you're in.
00:03:38I'd hope to leave it possibly with a kiss, and then we'll see where we go from now.
00:03:42This is crazy.
00:03:45It is amazing.
00:03:46It's a thing, isn't it?
00:03:47We were in our wedding, literally 24 hours ago.
00:03:50I know.
00:03:50You didn't know where we were going.
00:03:51I know.
00:03:51And here we are.
00:03:52Here we are with a space mark.
00:03:54We didn't even know each other, like, two days ago, and now we're here.
00:03:59Sarah entered the experiment, aware she had a type.
00:04:03My usual type of guy would be referred to by my friends as a walking red flag.
00:04:09What's your type, sis?
00:04:10Girl, I like a bad boy.
00:04:11They look like they've probably just come out of jail.
00:04:14Fantastic.
00:04:15But she was determined to break this cycle in her search for love.
00:04:18I am now ready for the nice guy.
00:04:21I want to settle down with the nicest guy in the world.
00:04:26Dean has got so many of the qualities that I am looking for in a partner.
00:04:30However, I usually go for the tattooed bad boy.
00:04:33I just need to look beyond that attraction side and see if it's something that I can work on.
00:04:40Paradise, isn't it?
00:04:41Absolutely paradise.
00:04:45I mean, could it get more better than this?
00:04:52Whilst the newlyweds settle into their honeymoons...
00:04:55This is crazy.
00:04:56This is absolutely beautiful.
00:04:58Back in the UK, another single is preparing to enter the experiment.
00:05:03Can I look at action?
00:05:05Are we good?
00:05:06Is this all right?
00:05:07This looks like you're so awkward.
00:05:08This is insane.
00:05:09What is happening?
00:05:09Are you good?
00:05:11I feel weird.
00:05:11Okay, so I guess this is it.
00:05:13This is marrying a stranger 101.
00:05:16Holy shit.
00:05:18I would describe myself as extroverted.
00:05:22I have no filter.
00:05:23I'm tightly strung.
00:05:25Perhaps you could say.
00:05:26I'm nervous for her, but I'm also nervous for him.
00:05:29She's a whirlwind.
00:05:30My friends would describe me as hectic, wild.
00:05:37I don't know.
00:05:38Nuts.
00:05:39Next.
00:05:40Huge feminist.
00:05:42Big into equality.
00:05:44We haven't achieved it yet.
00:05:46I am a midwife, and I chose to go into midwifery because I am a caring person.
00:05:52I also want to empower women.
00:05:54People often ask you when you're a midwife, do you have kids?
00:05:57And it's like 2 a.m. on a Saturday night, and I'm there with them delivering their child.
00:06:02And I'm like, when would I be meeting someone to have a child with?
00:06:07Oh, she's a princess.
00:06:09I am surrounded by strong women.
00:06:11They just know me so well, and they accept me for who I am.
00:06:15Who knew you could be so glamorous?
00:06:18Actually, talk about glamorous.
00:06:22Six inches, baby.
00:06:24Grace is a very loud, playful, fun character, and I think it takes a certain type of person
00:06:31to be able to take it for what it is.
00:06:34I'm always trying to find the funny side in everything.
00:06:37My life sometimes is quite funny.
00:06:39Definitely my dating life is hilarious.
00:06:42Ha, ha, ha.
00:06:43How many boyfriends have you had or situationships?
00:06:46Oh, situationships.
00:06:47Oh, countless, limitless.
00:06:49The limit does not exist.
00:06:50Do you actually want me to quantify it?
00:06:51I definitely can't.
00:06:55Sometimes it's easier to find the funny side and laugh it off than actually, like, sit in the feelings of discomfort and, like, rejection.
00:07:03I put myself out there so much.
00:07:05I went on dates that were set up by friends.
00:07:08I went on dates that were friends of friends.
00:07:10I went on dates.
00:07:11I went with an old flame.
00:07:12I started a new thing with someone that I met on an app.
00:07:15Like, I put myself out there and I was let down.
00:07:17I was let down in so many different ways, so consistently.
00:07:21It's hard and it's hurtful and it's frustrating, but every one of these experiences tells you a little something more about what you do want.
00:07:32It is hard.
00:07:33I know.
00:07:34I feel like I'm so respectful.
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36Yeah.
00:07:37I never really seem to.
00:07:38You're not getting it back.
00:07:40Yeah.
00:07:41Yeah.
00:07:42Every time I go through a breakup, I end up developing a new skill or hobby.
00:07:55I actually came to adult gymnastics after a breakup.
00:07:59And spinning around a gymnasium, launching here, jumping there, was my idea of just pure heaven.
00:08:07I had a little pop at stand-up comedy last year.
00:08:10That was the most nerve-wracking thing.
00:08:12I'm like, to the audience, anyone want to get jokes?
00:08:15Anyone?
00:08:16You know, some people use humour as a way of protecting yourself from something.
00:08:22Have you thought about that for yourself?
00:08:24Yes.
00:08:25I'd say that's maybe how I came to develop a sense of humour.
00:08:31But certainly it has come in handy before when I have felt I was in hot water to just crack a joke.
00:08:36I don't know if I've ever actually felt reciprocated, full, whole, warm love.
00:08:41I do feel I want, like, extraordinary love.
00:08:44I'm not willing to compromise.
00:08:46That is what I will have, or I will have nothing at all.
00:08:49I'm marrying a stranger.
00:08:51I feel like I've exhausted all of the other options.
00:08:53I've put myself out there.
00:08:55I've done what you're supposed to do, and it hasn't worked.
00:08:59My family will always be like, oh, he's out there.
00:09:02He's looking for you.
00:09:03What am I supposed to do?
00:09:04Just wait in.
00:09:05He'll come knocking out the door.
00:09:07He'll be here any minute, Prince Charming, on his horse.
00:09:13I would love to be matched with someone so fun, so easy-going, so sociable.
00:09:18Someone charismatic, someone hard-working, motivated, very family-orientated.
00:09:24Someone's sporty, active, athletic, quite masculine.
00:09:29I like a broad shoulder.
00:09:31You know, just a few descriptives.
00:09:35I'll take anything.
00:09:36Anyone willing.
00:09:37I'm joking.
00:09:42I'm a bit of a cheeky chappy.
00:09:44I'm, like, very positive.
00:09:46I'm that annoying guy that's always smiling.
00:09:48I'm not a city boy.
00:09:49I'm a country bumpkin.
00:09:50I've always been an outdoorsy person.
00:09:52My parents live on a farm with 36 acres, horses, and being up there is amazing.
00:09:58It's a really good lifestyle.
00:09:59I think that's quite important with my partner, that she is the type of girl that can just
00:10:05chuck on a pair of wellies and put her hair up and just go up and get dirty on the quad.
00:10:10And then, other times, put a pair of stilettos on and come out with me with a cocktail dress.
00:10:17Morning.
00:10:18Morning.
00:10:19I work for my father.
00:10:20I work for the family company.
00:10:22And it's an offshore marine construction company.
00:10:25So, basically, anything to do with steel for ships and rigs.
00:10:28I do enjoy it.
00:10:30Being from South Wales, rugby is basically religion here.
00:10:34But girls don't like rugby boys.
00:10:36I think they've got this stereotype about us.
00:10:39Juglaugle out.
00:10:40Bit crazy.
00:10:41But the majority of the lads that I know that I play rugby with, they're all gentlemen.
00:10:47I feel like I'm a gentleman and I think I was, I was made to be by my mother.
00:10:51I think she raised me right.
00:10:53How are you starting to feel about it all?
00:10:55I'm starting to get really excited about it now.
00:10:57You deserve somebody nice.
00:10:59I grew up around strong women.
00:11:01I've got two sisters, one older one younger.
00:11:03So, I got a bit of feminine energy.
00:11:06I want the best for Ashley. He's kind, thoughtful, he's got loads of love to give
00:11:12and he just needs somebody there special that feels the same.
00:11:18I would say I have high standards in women. I used to date a Miss Universe. I'm quite proud of that one.
00:11:25But I haven't really had that many girlfriends. I've been engaged twice.
00:11:30The second time we got engaged because we were having a son.
00:11:34You're so clever.
00:11:37It was a hard decision to break up with my son's mother.
00:11:41But ultimately it was definitely the right decision to make.
00:11:44And we're still friends.
00:11:47I think I've done my life right. I did all the travelling and parties and things.
00:11:51And then I come home, I've got my house, I've got my son.
00:11:54I'm at the stage of my life where the only thing I don't really have is someone to share it with.
00:11:59I think I'm ready to be a husband.
00:12:01For me, I like being the protector. Like I was brought up old school.
00:12:06Like I'm the type of guy that will hold the door. I'm the type of guy that will lift you through the puddle.
00:12:10I'm looking for someone with a personality. That's just up for a laugh.
00:12:15And it's true what they say. If you marry your best friend, it'll work.
00:12:19So I'm looking for a best friend.
00:12:21Somebody that's also going to be loving and caring.
00:12:26To have that deep connection. And it feels more important now.
00:12:29I still think I'm a catch.
00:12:34Somebody wants me, surely.
00:12:41Grace is possibly one of the quirkiest brides we've met.
00:12:44Her offbeat humour and quick wit are qualities which Ashley will enjoy.
00:12:48As a fun personality, it's top of his wishlist.
00:12:51I love Grace's humour too, but I feel sometimes she can use it as a way of masking her emotions.
00:12:57It feels to me like a self-protection mode, which could prove challenging to break through for a new partner.
00:13:03Yeah, I think Ashley has the patience and determination to push past that.
00:13:07Raised in a home of strong women, he wants a confident, outgoing partner.
00:13:12He takes pride in his upbringing and says he's been raised to be a gentleman, respectful and caring.
00:13:18Yeah, I mean, Grace told us she's sick of the relentless unreliability of modern dating.
00:13:23As someone loyal and dependable, Ashley is the perfect antidote to that.
00:13:28Yeah, they're both intelligent and driven in their careers.
00:13:31But also hugely sociable and enjoying active lifestyle and a strong family bond.
00:13:37I think you're right.
00:13:38If they can start their marriage on a foundation of mutual trust and friendship, Grace and Ashley have real potential.
00:13:44Absolutely.
00:13:45Our next match, Grace and Ashley.
00:13:51I'm so excited about this next match.
00:13:53I really hope we see a lasting connection.
00:13:57A guy that I went on date with literally said, like, your hard work.
00:13:59And I was like, define fucking hard work.
00:14:01I think it's called Sanderton.
00:14:02And I was like, I don't know who the hell you've been dating, but it ain't people like me then.
00:14:05Go and get me some champagne.
00:14:06And he did.
00:14:08When I first meet a guy, obviously, I want him to be completely obsessed with me.
00:14:12I just think, well, why is it taking you three hours to reply to a text?
00:14:15Like, what are you doing?
00:14:16It's not bad.
00:14:20I'm Nalima, but everyone calls me Nelly just because it's easier.
00:14:23Pop your head back for me.
00:14:24I'm just going to pop this in.
00:14:26I am really career driven, mainly because I just want to make my parents proud.
00:14:31I'm so lucky.
00:14:32I love you guys.
00:14:33I love you guys.
00:14:34So my mum and dad met through a gorgeous arranged marriage.
00:14:37Not only am I doing what they did, I've got a one up on them.
00:14:40You had the privilege of actually meeting each other once before you married each other.
00:14:44Once.
00:14:45Once.
00:14:46Just once.
00:14:47And was she a perfect lady?
00:14:48She is perfect lady for me.
00:14:50And if it worked for my parents, hopefully it worked for me too.
00:14:52I'm probably one of the luckiest people in the entire world with the family that I've been blessed with.
00:14:57Wasn't it two years that you lived here or three years?
00:15:00The two best years of your life when it felt like a millennium.
00:15:03My sister is the ideal, perfect Indian daughter.
00:15:08Met a lovely Indian man.
00:15:10They got married.
00:15:11They had the twins when they were 30.
00:15:13And that is what my parents wanted for me.
00:15:16And obviously it's not the case.
00:15:18Hands up if you like Massey's cooking.
00:15:21Double hands!
00:15:23My sister and brother-in-law have got the most beautiful twins.
00:15:26I just love them so much.
00:15:28Did you guys have a good day at school?
00:15:30Yeah.
00:15:31What did you do?
00:15:32Right, yeah.
00:15:34What did my Luna get?
00:15:36Ten out of ten.
00:15:37Yeah, of course she did!
00:15:39I do really want to have kids in the future.
00:15:41But I don't want to compromise that and have them with the wrong person.
00:15:48I've been in three relationships in total.
00:15:50And sadly each one ended up the same way and they were all unfaithful.
00:15:55I do feel a little bit insecure.
00:15:57Of course I do.
00:15:59It can change your confidence.
00:16:01I just kept thinking, well what did I do wrong?
00:16:04What didn't I do?
00:16:05Why did he have to, you know, find whatever he needed to find in somebody else?
00:16:11I think the way that all my relationships ended sort of gave me a really negative view on relationships in general.
00:16:20I just feel that whoever I end up with, I won't be with them forever because at some point they will be unfaithful.
00:16:27And I really hate that I think that's how it will always end.
00:16:32I don't, and I just hope it doesn't, obviously.
00:16:39Sorry guys.
00:16:42When you look at the breakdown of each relationship, did it make you question yourself?
00:16:48Yeah, massively.
00:16:49It's always, how can I protect myself?
00:16:51Yeah.
00:16:52Yeah.
00:16:53Yeah.
00:16:54Self-protection is always important, but it can co-exist with hope.
00:16:58Yeah.
00:16:59And I think in order to get into a good, positive, healthy relationship, you've got to allow that.
00:17:04And that means opening up a little bit, letting some hope in and being a little bit vulnerable.
00:17:10Yeah.
00:17:11I'm excited to work on it.
00:17:14Right, shall I pop open?
00:17:15Yeah.
00:17:16Absolutely.
00:17:17I've had people mention that before, that they think I do self-sabotage.
00:17:21And I can be extremely needy.
00:17:23I think a lot of it comes down to a fear of rejection.
00:17:26I want to change that about me.
00:17:29I just need to just take a chill pill.
00:17:30You do get yourself in a bit of a flap.
00:17:32I know.
00:17:33And I try not to show it, but obviously you guys can see it.
00:17:36Nelly is a very bubbly person, but I think underneath she's so terrified of rejection.
00:17:43I think you just need to have more confidence in yourself.
00:17:46Yeah.
00:17:47Like, you look amazing.
00:17:48She has so much to offer.
00:17:49She's an incredible person.
00:17:50She does.
00:17:51And she just needs to meet an incredible person.
00:17:53She does.
00:17:54Yeah.
00:17:55My perfect husband is open, is honest, is fun, pretty chilled out.
00:18:03Someone who is just gonna make me feel really secure.
00:18:06My type is a tall man.
00:18:08I just love a man that can tower over me.
00:18:12The taller the better.
00:18:13Let me climb that man like a tree.
00:18:15Obviously, I want him to be completely obsessed with me.
00:18:18He's a missing piece of the puzzle.
00:18:20Like, I'm just ready for it now.
00:18:22I'm ready to meet Mr. Right.
00:18:23What are you doing?
00:18:24Get here already.
00:18:29Despite the accent, I'm not actually an Essex boy.
00:18:32I'm a Geordie, so I'm from Newcastle.
00:18:36I'll always be a Geordie at heart.
00:18:38I'm Newcastle forever and forever.
00:18:39I'm a Newcastle United fan.
00:18:40I bleed black and white, and how weirda lads.
00:18:47I'm an investment banking manager currently,
00:18:49but I've been working in finance for the last 13 years.
00:18:53Suppose the general misconceptions of people working in finance
00:18:56is slightly obnoxious.
00:18:58They're know-it-alls.
00:18:59They're up themselves.
00:19:01It's not the case.
00:19:03Before I started my career in finance,
00:19:05I was a professional footballer.
00:19:06I loved every minute of it.
00:19:08Travelling up and down the country every other weekend,
00:19:10being with a group of lads, all working towards the same goal.
00:19:13Football was everything.
00:19:15I definitely wanted to get to the highest level.
00:19:18But my football career came to an end
00:19:21when I was attacked outside of a nightclub by nine guys.
00:19:25I had a shattered nose, which was reconstructed.
00:19:27I'd fractured my right cheekbone.
00:19:29My teeth come out of place, so I needed to get my teeth sorted.
00:19:33And I got a scar on my chin, which went down to my bone,
00:19:35which required 17 stitches inside and 14 outside.
00:19:38So it destroyed my confidence.
00:19:41It made me step away from the professional game.
00:19:44I wasn't in the best headspace.
00:19:47I'd say I was in a rut for about three years.
00:19:50It took my family to get out of that rut.
00:19:53Family mean everything to me.
00:19:55Without them, I wouldn't be who I am.
00:19:57I'm the youngest of five,
00:19:58so I have my sister and three other brothers.
00:20:02It's good having a close-knit family.
00:20:05I couldn't imagine a world where I'm not talking to my brothers
00:20:07and my sister on a daily basis.
00:20:09Do you remember when you were two
00:20:10and you used to strip off naked and run around the estate?
00:20:13I just wanted to be a free spirit after all.
00:20:15Do you know what I mean?
00:20:16I'm confident in myself even at two years of age.
00:20:20I'm a father of two kids.
00:20:22My daughter, Piper, is nine.
00:20:24And my boy, Reggie, he's five,
00:20:26and he does have autism and sensory disorder.
00:20:29He doesn't speak, he can't tell us.
00:20:31What it actually is, he's thinking.
00:20:33What's that?
00:20:34He's never been able to tell us what he wants.
00:20:36He's never been able to tell us what he wants from an early age.
00:20:39High five.
00:20:41Yeah!
00:20:42You know, obviously, you're a package deal.
00:20:44You've got two kiddos.
00:20:45How important is it that this new woman can fit within there
00:20:49and have great relationships with your kids?
00:20:52If I link it to some of my dating in the past,
00:20:55a lot of people have told me that they've actually understood
00:20:57that I've got kids.
00:20:58Mm-hm.
00:20:59If they're never down the line, they actually realise that.
00:21:01I don't understand that you've got kids.
00:21:02Okay.
00:21:03And if they have the understanding that, look, not only have kids,
00:21:07but one of them has his own challenges that he deals with.
00:21:10And I'm not expecting anyone to just waltz in and play step-mom
00:21:14or be that kind of figure.
00:21:16I'd say I am where I want to be at 34,
00:21:20but I think the biggest thing that's missing for me is a wife.
00:21:23I need someone to do life with.
00:21:25I'm looking for someone strong-willed, very independent,
00:21:30and with a massive personality.
00:21:32Very family-orientated, with a nice beam and smile.
00:21:36I want to meet my person, I'm ready to find the one.
00:21:39Hopefully, I can give my best to someone,
00:21:42and they can actually embrace it.
00:21:48As a dad of two, Steven needs a partner
00:21:51who'll embrace and happily take on his ready-made family.
00:21:55Nellie's maternal instincts and love for her own family
00:21:59suggest that this won't be a problem.
00:22:01What's clear is Nellie's been cheated on
00:22:03in lots of past relationships.
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:06Yeah.
00:22:07And reassurance is key for her to feel safe and secure.
00:22:10Yeah.
00:22:11You know, also, Steven told us that he's never been unfaithful,
00:22:14and his calm and stable nature
00:22:16should provide the security that Nellie needs.
00:22:19They're both high achievers
00:22:21and have all aspects of their lives sorted apart from love.
00:22:25Yeah.
00:22:26I mean, Steven is hoping for a strong woman with a big personality,
00:22:30and Vivacious Nellie is a perfect example of this.
00:22:34Well, that's right.
00:22:35This is a match where the personalities really complement each other.
00:22:39Nellie's high energy
00:22:40and the first to admit that she likes the princess treatment.
00:22:43There's a calmness to Steven that I think would be really grounding for her.
00:22:47Exactly.
00:22:48Her maturity and emotional depths will encourage him to open up.
00:22:51I cannot wait to see their relationship grow in this process.
00:22:55Nellie and Steven.
00:22:58It's all got very, very real.
00:23:16My stomach keeps dropping every time I think about it.
00:23:19It's not affecting your eyeing, clearly.
00:23:21Mate, my eyeing's never been good, to be fair.
00:23:24I'm shitting it!
00:23:27I cannot believe I'm getting married to a complete stranger today.
00:23:32Are you nervous, you?
00:23:33I am, mate.
00:23:34And you know me, like, I don't get nervous, but I'm...
00:23:36Yeah, I'm bad.
00:23:37This is fun, but there's that background noise of, like, wait a minute.
00:23:42Who is he?
00:23:44I am feeling a little overwhelmed.
00:23:46A dry mouth, there's a racing heart.
00:23:49All of these things.
00:23:50Oh, I'm so excited to see what he's like.
00:23:53Yeah, I would obviously like to be with someone attractive.
00:23:57Probably make things a bit easier, maybe,
00:23:59if I just fancied the pants off them from the way I go.
00:24:02Husband, husband, husband.
00:24:04Doesn't really roll off the tongue.
00:24:06I just hope he's got a cracking personality.
00:24:08Yeah, yeah.
00:24:09Because you need someone that you can, like, bounce off, but...
00:24:12Yeah.
00:24:13And that he's not threatened by the fact that you're funny
00:24:15and you're this super independent, strong woman.
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:19There's only room for one sheriff in this time.
00:24:20We're not getting competition.
00:24:21Who's the silliest Billy?
00:24:22That would be the silliest Billy.
00:24:24What if he's hilarious?
00:24:25What are you going to do?
00:24:26Yeah, what if he's funnier than you?
00:24:27Cancel the wedding if he's hilarious.
00:24:29How dare he presume to be funny?
00:24:31No.
00:24:32It would obviously be great.
00:24:33If he's funny, I'll take it back soon.
00:24:34Over to you, take the mic.
00:24:35I feel like I have a nervous energy about me today
00:24:37and I would not be surprised if I walked down the aisle and went mute
00:24:39and was like, hello, nice to meet you,
00:24:42because that's just the kind of best I am.
00:24:44I'm all...
00:24:45I'm all or nothing.
00:24:54As if we're seeing the day, nearly he's getting married.
00:24:56I didn't think that would ever, ever happen.
00:24:58I know who'd have thought.
00:24:59Who would have thought?
00:25:00I've always dreamt to this day and I can't believe it's here.
00:25:03Not only am I getting married, which I didn't think would happen,
00:25:07I'm literally marrying a stranger.
00:25:09How are you feeling, Nils?
00:25:10I think one thing I am nervous about,
00:25:13me liking him and him not being into me.
00:25:15I mean, it is obviously a bit terrifying,
00:25:18because being treated on by all three of my past partners
00:25:22makes you think that there's something wrong with you.
00:25:27I know what I deserve, I know how I should be treated.
00:25:30Yeah.
00:25:31I don't think I'm asking for anything extra
00:25:32than just being treated with kindness and like a nice human being.
00:25:35That's how you would treat someone, so you just want it back.
00:25:37No one likes the feeling of getting rejected,
00:25:40but I've just got to trust the process and be open and be vulnerable,
00:25:44be open and be vulnerable, be open and be vulnerable,
00:25:46be open and be vulnerable, be open and be vulnerable.
00:25:48It could be amazing.
00:25:50We could really, really just click and really fancy each other.
00:25:54I'm probably the most nervous about a future brother-in-law
00:25:57not finding her as attractive as she'd want.
00:26:00She wants somebody to be really obsessed with her,
00:26:02just be infatuated with her.
00:26:04And that would maybe break my heart a little bit
00:26:06if he just wasn't that interested.
00:26:08She's got so much love to give,
00:26:09so to get it back would just be really incredible.
00:26:15I actually can't believe I'm getting married today.
00:26:17I'm going to FaceTime the kids this morning.
00:26:19If I can see their face, it will just calm me down entirely.
00:26:22Hello.
00:26:25How are you?
00:26:26One of the biggest things I've asked was someone being
00:26:28understanding of those kids will always be number one.
00:26:30It is so important to me that they spend a wedding day with me,
00:26:34even if they're not here in person.
00:26:35Have you got any advice for Daddy for the wedding?
00:26:37Don't say anything stupid.
00:26:40Don't say anything stupid.
00:26:42All right, well, I'll see you soon.
00:26:44OK.
00:26:45Bye.
00:26:46See you later.
00:26:52Come in.
00:26:55Hello.
00:26:56Hi.
00:26:57How are you?
00:26:58Oh, my God.
00:26:59Oh, you're handsome.
00:27:02My parents have been married for nearly 40 years,
00:27:04so they're doing something right.
00:27:06I mean, something like that, to me, is what I'm striving for.
00:27:09When I have thought about it, I've thought, like, I hope I like her,
00:27:12I hope she's this, I hope she's that.
00:27:13But the other side, I hope she likes me.
00:27:15Yeah, absolutely.
00:27:16And I hope she's the type of person to show that.
00:27:19Soon find out. Not long.
00:27:21I know.
00:27:22Oh, my God.
00:27:23Oh, my God.
00:27:24Stop.
00:27:25No one deserves to find love more than Grace.
00:27:27She is the kindest, most intelligent woman.
00:27:30But Grace can have quite high walls,
00:27:33and I think it depends how the first meet goes.
00:27:36And, you know, Grace is the kind of person who might bolt
00:27:38at the first smell that something might be a bit fishy.
00:27:41I keep thinking, like, when is this?
00:27:43I think it depends on how the first meet goes.
00:27:45And, you know, Grace is the kind of person who might bolt
00:27:47at the first smell that something might be a bit fishy.
00:27:50I keep thinking, like, when has it gone too far?
00:27:52Is it now?
00:27:53He's a lucky guy.
00:27:54He's a lucky guy.
00:28:07He's gorgeous.
00:28:08Beautiful, isn't it?
00:28:10Hi.
00:28:11Hello.
00:28:14I think he's kind of...
00:28:16He's...
00:28:17He's gorgeous.
00:28:19He's a Welsh.
00:28:20Welsh.
00:28:21Welsh.
00:28:22I know.
00:28:23You're not a Welshman.
00:28:29I'm at a point in my life where I am looking for that real thing.
00:28:34I'm really nervous.
00:28:35I would be gutted if it didn't work out.
00:28:39There's so much that's gone into it, so I'll give it everything I got.
00:28:43I do hope that this is the first day of something beautiful.
00:28:46Hello.
00:28:47Hello.
00:28:48Hello.
00:28:49Hello.
00:28:50Hello.

00:28:53Whoa.
00:28:54What's everyone?
00:28:55I can see it.
00:29:25I am worried that like I've maybe taken this too far like like even for me I'm starting
00:29:49to think this is a bit too much is it do you think grace you are gonna nail this
00:29:54every time I take another step towards like the actual wedding I'm like oh god I'm taking
00:30:01it too far too far I'm breaking it really nervous sweaty hands there's like a deer in headlights

00:37:09Stop it.
00:37:10We are Indiana Jones.
00:37:12The fact that I'm on honeymoon right now with my husband is insane.
00:37:16In the car.
00:37:17We look great, you know.
00:37:19But I'm finding Kia's energy a lot.
00:37:22He's very loud.
00:37:24He's 110 at all times.
00:37:26This is amazing.
00:37:27Come on.
00:37:28I want to be treated like this every day.
00:37:30I'm not going back to normal life.
00:37:31This is how we live.
00:37:32Yeah.
00:37:33That's it.
00:37:34This is it.
00:37:35So I just want to get to know him.
00:37:37I want us to have that deep, meaningful conversations about everything.
00:37:44We're going to have the best time.
00:37:52running to swing in, to sing in.
00:37:55Work it.
00:37:56Work it.
00:37:57Work it.
00:37:58Work it.
00:37:59Work it.
00:38:00Work it.
00:38:01Work it.
00:38:02Work it.
00:38:03Work it.
00:38:04Work it.
00:38:05Me and Dean are big energy.
00:38:06You know, there's no denying that.
00:38:07The thing that's grating on me at the minute is Dean does keep randomly outbursting into raps
00:38:11or songs.
00:38:18When I saw you in that dress today, you did more than take my breath away.
00:38:22On their wedding day, an impromptu rap from Dean.
00:38:25When I say wed, you say ding.
00:38:27Wed.
00:38:28Wed.
00:38:29He is just over the top.
00:38:31That's put me right off.
00:38:33Followed by a self-penned serenade at the top table.
00:38:38We'll build a life together, you and me.
00:38:42Sowed serious seeds of doubt in his new wife's mind.
00:38:46I'm not an over-romantic person at all.
00:38:49And anything over the top does put me off.
00:38:55Got girl Sarah right next to me in Maldives living life.
00:38:58Spice Margarita all the time.
00:39:00Zumba.
00:39:01Maybe we'll find out.
00:39:02Read a book.
00:39:03It's gonna be so light lit.
00:39:04So damn good.
00:39:05Gonna get so good.
00:39:06It's still quite a lot for me.
00:39:08Swiss it.
00:39:09Swiss it.
00:39:10Oh dear.
00:39:18Ready for some Pilates.
00:39:19Ready for some Pilates.
00:39:21Here we go.
00:39:22Right, get your legs up.
00:39:23Legs akimbo.
00:39:24Oh my god.
00:39:26Oh, I like it.
00:39:28I feel very vulnerable.
00:39:30I guess this is like, is this a girl's view quite a lot of the time?
00:39:33Okay, well we do the next move.
00:39:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:39:36I was coming out with the innuendos, you know.
00:39:39Nice one, Dean.
00:39:45Yeah.
00:39:46It's all about the hips.
00:39:49Look at this.
00:39:50And then you just pull back and then thrust in.
00:39:53That's literally what it is though, innit?
00:39:55My sexual chakra, no, it's not been opened up just yet.
00:40:01It's still there.
00:40:02It's still ready.
00:40:03It's burning away, but it's not opened up just yet.
00:40:05Take a seat.
00:40:08Let's take a seat.
00:40:09Let's take a seat.
00:40:10Take some heat off these feet.
00:40:12You love turning things into wraps.
00:40:13Oh, I love wrapping.
00:40:14I'm looking forward to get to know Sarah on a deeper level,
00:40:18because at the moment we're laughing all the time in a spanner,
00:40:20and the energy's amazing.
00:40:21She will fall for me.
00:40:24Don't worry, trust me, it will happen.
00:40:26I've been here before.
00:40:27We're good.
00:40:30So how long have you been single for then?
00:40:32About 18 months, coming up to two years.
00:40:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:40:34What about yourself?
00:40:35Yeah, but I'm over two years now.
00:40:36My typical type is a bit of an asshole,
00:40:39which I've always usually gone for.
00:40:41Very toxic and manipulative.
00:40:44Nice guys.
00:40:45Trust me, nice guys are the way to go.
00:40:47I know she wants a nice guy, but I still don't know if I'm the nice guy
00:40:50she wants.
00:40:51Hopefully she can see there's, like, more to me
00:40:54than just probably what met the eye to begin with.
00:40:57I didn't actually start dating until I was, like, 22.
00:40:59Oh, really?
00:41:00So I didn't, like, do anything until I was 22.
00:41:01Yeah, I was like, oh, I need to kind of jump into this.
00:41:03Like, I need to get a girlfriend.
00:41:04I don't want to diverge in.
00:41:05You know, like, you know, those types of things, though.
00:41:07You're like, I don't want that to be me.
00:41:09I did go for a phase where I lost about, like, 10 stones.
00:41:11Did you?
00:41:12Like, yeah, I lost, like, loads of weight.
00:41:13I'd wear, like, fake tan.
00:41:14I'd have guy liner on.
00:41:15Did you wear fake tan?
00:41:16Yeah, fake tan.
00:41:17You're a guy liner.
00:41:18I know.
00:41:19I was a completely different person.
00:41:20Did you?
00:41:21I wasn't the nicest to girls.
00:41:22I would, like, not reply sometimes.
00:41:23And I just wasn't someone my nan would be proud of, innit?
00:41:25And I was like, I'm not myself.
00:41:26I was like, I just want to be myself.
00:41:27I've always been bigger.
00:41:28And when you're confident and fat, it's cute.
00:41:30You know, it's funny.
00:41:31It's nice.
00:41:32But then when you're confident and, like...
00:41:33A good-looking guy, yeah, yeah.
00:41:35I'm still good-looking.
00:41:36No, no, no.
00:41:37I didn't mean that.
00:41:38I didn't mean that.
00:41:39Sorry.
00:41:40I know you don't mean that.
00:41:41Sorry.
00:41:44It was really nice of Dean to open up about him losing the weight
00:41:48and also how that changed him as a person,
00:41:50which I was quite surprised at.
00:41:52Turned into basically a bit of an asshole.
00:41:54I was shocked, you know?
00:41:56I did not expect that at all.
00:41:59It would be really weird to see Dean as a bad boy.
00:42:02Yeah, definitely.
00:42:04I just can't imagine it at all.
00:42:28Oh, wow.
00:42:29Oh, my God.
00:42:30Oh!
00:42:31You're looking real.
00:42:32Look at you.
00:42:33Aw.
00:42:34Oh, come here.
00:42:35You're going to make me cry.
00:42:37She cried.
00:42:39I've always wanted to see her in a wedding dress.
00:42:44Yes, she looks absolutely stunning.
00:42:47She's so gorgeous, my little baby.
00:42:50You're absolutely beautiful.
00:42:53Thanks, Dad.
00:42:55You make me proud.
00:42:56Yes, it does.
00:42:57Yeah, we are very proud.
00:42:58Yeah.
00:42:59I'm going to be coming down the aisle in the dolly.
00:43:02When they put it down, can you get me out of it and take me to my husband?
00:43:06That would be the proudest moment of my life, Dad.
00:43:08Oh!
00:43:09I mean, it's like giving away my heart.
00:43:10It means a world to me that my dad's going to be able to, like, give me away.
00:43:19I'm such a lucky girl to have family like that.
00:43:22I'm sure he's going to love it.
00:43:23Nice.
00:43:24I hope so.
00:43:25I just don't know how he's going to react.
00:43:26It's not the normal.
00:43:27That's okay.
00:43:28You...
00:43:29How do you want him to react?
00:43:30I want him to be obsessed with me.
00:43:32He might be a little bit shocked because it's very different.
00:43:35Yeah, which is fine because it's so probably not what he's expecting and not what he's been
00:43:39envisioning for however long.
00:43:40Yeah, like, I just hope he doesn't think I'm some sort of diva coming down.
00:43:45I'm so terrified of him being like, yeah, I'm not really that into her.
00:43:50No one wants to face rejection.
00:43:52And if he isn't completely showing that he's obsessed with me, you'll be thinking, but why?
00:43:56I've been up since five o'clock getting ready for you, babe.
00:44:01Yeah, Steve, I think you're struggling without a tie.
00:44:03You might need a bit of help.
00:44:04I'm going back to our school ways, aren't I?
00:44:06We're, you know, with everything that he's gone through in life to where we are now,
00:44:09Stephen's ready for this. He fully deserves it.
00:44:11Having watched us get married, have children, have a settled life,
00:44:15Stephen wants that the same as we've had it.
00:44:18So how do you feel about the kids scenario?
00:44:20Do you feel you're going to let her know that straight away or sort of delay it a little bit?
00:44:24It's a tough one. That's been rattling through my mind.
00:44:26I don't think I'll say it at the altar straight away, going, oh, by the way, I've got kids,
00:44:30because I think that will just scare her at first.
00:44:33Kids are the kids. They're always going to be there.
00:44:35You know, we're out sounding rude. She's got to respect that.
00:44:38I think it'll be tough to tell her that I've got kids today.
00:44:41Again, I think if it comes up, then absolutely I will.
00:44:46When there's a right moment in time.
00:44:49We're the brothers, two brothers.
00:44:59Is your brother good looking as you guys?
00:45:01Nearly at my level, just a little bit below us.
00:45:05It's important that my future wife can set my children.
00:45:15Because my children are my entire world.
00:45:18They're my be all and end all.
00:45:20So it's massively important to me.
00:45:23I'm nervous, everyone?
00:45:24Yeah.
00:45:25A little bit.
00:45:26Yeah.
00:45:27A little bit.
00:45:28Yeah.
00:45:29I need my specs to see you properly.
00:45:30Sorry, it's the teeth, I'm out blind, you know?
00:45:32He's tall.
00:45:33Very confident.
00:45:34I think he is Nelly's, like...
00:45:35I think he probably is.
00:45:36Yeah, definitely.
00:45:37A hundred percent.
00:45:38Today is the biggest day of my life.
00:45:40Given our seat, nobody's willing to go.
00:45:41It's pretty hot,any.
00:45:42One hour.
00:45:43And he takes a lot of hours.
00:45:44He's making a lot of hours.
00:45:46And he's making a lot of hours.
00:45:47And, you know, people at least want to go.
00:45:48And I'm so happy.
00:45:49I'm so happy.
00:45:51You know, you're down to work.
00:45:52I'm so happy.
00:45:53I know.
00:45:54And I'm so happy.
00:45:55I know.
00:45:56You're so happy.
00:45:57I know what I can.
00:45:58It's already.
00:45:59We're so happy.
00:46:00I know, I know.
00:46:01It's you probably, you know,
00:46:02I know.
00:46:03You're so happy.
00:46:04We're so happy.
00:46:05And you're so happy.
00:46:06I've given up a lot to be here and I'm just really, really hoping that this is it and this is the one.
00:46:24If he doesn't react well to my entrance, I'd be devastated.
00:46:29It would ruin the magic of it all.
00:46:31This whole shebang, me in the red, is he going to think I'm some diva and some princess?
00:46:41I'm putting my heart on the line and I just really, really hope it doesn't get squished to little pieces because I don't know how I'm going to come back from it if it does.
00:47:01Oh, wow.
00:47:29Amazing.
00:47:36Hi.
00:47:37Nervous?
00:47:38Nice to meet you.
00:47:38Nice to meet you.
00:47:39I don't be nervous at all.
00:47:42Thank you, sir.
00:47:44What an entrance.
00:47:45What an entrance, that is.
00:47:47I'm glad you liked it.
00:47:48I think from first initial attraction and the little cheeky smile she gave, it was definitely something I'm like, yeah, I'm feeling this.
00:47:56She looks absolutely stunning in the red dress.
00:47:58Yeah, definitely ticks a lot of boxes.
00:48:01My neck has to go back to look at him.
00:48:05Tick, tick, tick.
00:48:05He just doesn't seem intimidated by anything in the slightest. He's just taking it all in his stride and I think that's really admirable.
00:48:23I feel like I need to keep my call because I don't want him to think I'm a giddy school girl because I'm not.
00:48:31With our friends and family both here witnessing us meet for the very first time, I couldn't be more excited to meet a beautiful stranger and share an adventure that we'd only need to do once in our lifetimes.
00:48:40Today, we have taken a risk, but sometimes without risk, there is no reward.
00:48:47And standing here today in front of me, all I see is a reward.
00:48:51Let's embrace this journey fully.
00:48:53Let's be a team and conquer anything that comes our way.
00:48:57Here's to us.
00:49:01I stand here today hoping to find someone who will see and love me for who I truly am.
00:49:06Strong, independent, but also deeply ready to share my life with the right person.
00:49:11I'm far from perfect, but I'm willing to be vulnerable, to put my heart on the line and give my all to this process.
00:49:18Now, before we go any further, let's address the fact that I'm wearing red today.
00:49:22And no, it's not because I'm a walking red flag.
00:49:25Although, a red dress does come with a little extra sass, doesn't it?
00:49:29Love it.
00:49:29And if you're the one, I promise to bring all my love and commitment to our journey.
00:49:33I can't wait to see what this process brings for us both.
00:49:36Absolutely. Blowing one out of water there, isn't it?
00:49:39Good, isn't it?
00:49:39That's unbelievable.
00:49:42Unbelievable.
00:49:43I'm going to pop this round to you.
00:49:44Sorry, I'm tall.
00:49:45That's OK.
00:49:45I'm not complaining.
00:49:46No.
00:49:47That's not a complaint for me.
00:49:50You sure?
00:49:50Yeah.
00:49:51I promise to hell.
00:49:51With this ring, I promise to stand beside you, to grow with you, and to see where this adventure
00:50:01takes us.
00:50:06With this ring, I promise to stand beside you, to grow with you, and see where this adventure
00:50:12takes us takes us.
00:50:15You may seal this moment with a kiss, if you wish.
00:50:19Go for it.
00:50:19Sorry, Dad.
00:50:20Stop.
00:50:23Thank you, man.
00:50:23100% fancy, yeah.
00:50:31Absolutely stunning.
00:50:35His confidence is really, really sexy.
00:50:38He's just kind of gone with the flow and just doesn't seem intimidated at all.
00:50:41And, yes, I do fancy him.
00:50:44Let's move on.
00:50:59Sorry.
00:50:59I just don't want to get upset.
00:51:15I just don't want to get upset.
00:51:29This waiting round bit is intense.
00:51:33It is a bit awkward, but I'm just, I'm really looking forward to just getting to know her.
00:51:53If you come a little bit close, maybe just hold hands.
00:51:57Hold hands, and that's really awkward.
00:51:59What do you do?
00:52:05I'm a manager of an offshore marine construction company, so I build ships and rigs.
00:52:10Oh, nice.
00:52:10It's not as exciting as it sounds.
00:52:12It was a ship in Scotland that the Royal Yacht Battalion owned.
00:52:17I'm feeling overwhelmed.
00:52:20I'm trying not to focus on any negatives.
00:52:23What does it you do?
00:52:24I'm a midwife.
00:52:26Okay.
00:52:29Smile.
00:52:32Yeah.
00:52:32I thought I was smiling.
00:52:36That already has got my back up.
00:52:39And if you're comfortable, would you like to have a little kiss, maybe?
00:52:42I was literally just about to say I wouldn't be the most PDA person.
00:52:45I wouldn't be one for a...
00:52:47What about a cheek?
00:52:47It's like, um, we can do a cheek if you're okay with that.
00:52:51Yeah.
00:52:52It's so awkward.
00:52:54It's fine.
00:52:55Maybe, like, let's not.
00:52:56Is that fine?
00:52:57Okay.
00:53:00So you're not, you're not PDA, kind of in life?
00:53:03I'm like the opposite.
00:53:04Okay.
00:53:04Not being PDA, that's a little bit disappointing.
00:53:08It feels a little bit of a knockback because I like someone who is kind of affectionate.
00:53:14Stand a little bit closer together.
00:53:16I'm feeling so awkward, so uncomfortable, so much pressure and finding flaws, just panicking
00:53:26like a reason to bolt.
00:53:28Just frustrated that I feel negative when I really wanted to force, like, to feel positive.
00:53:35I don't, I honestly, I don't know.
00:53:41It's probably in a while.
00:54:05I feel like David Attenborough.
00:54:06It's day two of honeymoons, and whilst David and Kia head off on safari.
00:54:13What's the collective noun for zebras?
00:54:15It's called a dazzle of zebras.
00:54:18Game.
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:21In the Maldives, Sarah and Dean are having pre-dinner drinks.
00:54:26I think it's been such a good day today.
00:54:28Like, I've really enjoyed it.
00:54:28And, you know, because it's been an intense few days.
00:54:30And, like, yeah, 100%.
00:54:32I was like, there's no one I'd rather have, like, been married to.
00:54:34You know, like, it's genuinely been so nice.
00:54:35It's, like, just, like, straight off the bat, like, we're in the most romantic place in
00:54:38the world.
00:54:39Yeah.
00:54:40Yeah.
00:54:45So, is there anything about me that is annoying you?
00:54:48At the moment, there's genuinely nothing majorly.
00:54:52And you do look nice.
00:54:53So, yeah.
00:54:54Yeah.
00:54:54Yeah.
00:54:54Being in the Maldives right now with Dean, we are getting along really well.
00:55:00I just can't get past that attraction that I don't have towards him.
00:55:05Shake, shake, shake.
00:55:06And the outbursts of song and rapping really beginning to grate on me.
00:55:13So, I just want to address that, but I don't know how he's going to take it.
00:55:19So, is there anything that's kind of annoying you?
00:55:21Do you think it's a nervous thing or no?
00:55:47How I'm probably, I guess I'm never, I'm always a happy person in it, in general, usually.
00:55:53And whenever I've got sadness out, I write songs in it.
00:55:55That's how I get my sadness out.
00:55:56And, like, if I'm feeling a certain way, if you listen to the song I'm singing, it will
00:56:00usually tell you how I'm feeling, but without seeing it.
00:56:02Aw.
00:56:02Sarah bringing up the rapping and the singing being a bit annoying, it's not the first person
00:56:07to bring it up, and it wouldn't have been the last, so she's not trying to change me,
00:56:12she's just trying to not make me irritate her.
00:56:15So, if you were sad, she would just start singing?
00:56:16I'd be like, yeah, like, oh, well, I'd sing all by myself or something, you know, but you
00:56:19wouldn't realise, and no one would realise, but that kind of gets the emotion, like, out
00:56:22of me.
00:56:24The biggest thing I'm taking away from tonight is learning to be open and honest and talk
00:56:28about whatever's bothering us, and hopefully that should move us along as a couple.
00:56:31Maybe now that we're married, you could tell me your emotion rather than singing it.
00:56:39I've never done it.
00:56:42So, I don't know, like, I genuinely don't know, because I've never done it.
00:56:45You could try.
00:56:48Right, Dean, let's practise right now, OK?
00:56:50OK, ready, right.
00:56:51So, tell me how you're feeling right now.
00:56:54Yeah, happy.
00:56:55See?
00:56:57See, hallelujah.
00:56:58No!
00:56:59No, don't do that.
00:57:00No.
00:57:01I think maybe you're all right.
00:57:03And I'll take it on board, and I'll compromise, because, yeah, that's the whole reason we're
00:57:06here.
00:57:06All I can do is try.
00:57:10I was really nervous telling Dean how I felt about outbursting into raps or songs, and
00:57:17that it was beginning to irritate me.
00:57:19I think I've made it quite clear now.
00:57:22So, yeah, fingers crossed.
00:57:24There's a giraffe.
00:57:41A lot of these animals, they rely heavily on their sense of hearing, so it's very important
00:57:51to restrain ourselves from shouting and screaming too loud.
00:57:57This is amazing, the bush is absolutely wild.
00:58:04All I want to do is scream and point and touch everything, and I can do none of those
00:58:25things.
00:58:26Hello.
00:58:31There is an elephant also walking right towards us, there is a lion there and a lion up there.
00:58:39Have you met my husband?
00:58:41He's a lot, he's on 110, 90% of the time.
00:58:45I'm far enough away and I'm whispering.
00:58:49I keep having to, like, cover his mouth or tell him, here, just like, shh, and be quiet.
00:58:55Cheers.
00:58:56Cheers.
00:58:57This is so lovely.
00:58:58Mmm.
00:58:59Mmm.
00:59:00Mmm!
00:59:01How are you feeling?
00:59:03Like I'm on honeymoon, it's fabulous.
00:59:05No, it's great, isn't it?
00:59:06Mm-hmm.
00:59:07It's great day out.
00:59:08Honestly, not screaming has been the most difficult thing.
00:59:10We know.
00:59:15We know we have that, like, really cute connection that we do have.
00:59:18We have no problems, like, kissing, like, being physical with each other.
00:59:23Mm-hmm.
00:59:24But we are, like, kind of waiting for intimacy.
00:59:26How do you feel about it?
00:59:27I think waiting for that step, I'm completely on board with, and I think it's just, it's
00:59:33just building the tension.
00:59:34It's just going to be better when we get there.
00:59:35I know, it is.
00:59:36What do you want?
00:59:37Do you want to see a rhino's horn?
00:59:39Is it the horn you're excited about?
00:59:40Stop it!
00:59:41Kia!
00:59:42Kia!
00:59:43Kia!
00:59:44He uses comedy just to deflect out of a very deep conversation.
00:59:49I want to get to know him a bit more.
00:59:51I want to know how he's feeling.
00:59:53On their wedding day...
00:59:55He will open up to you.
00:59:57Yeah, I'm not going to hurt him.
00:59:58But it will take time.
00:59:59Kia's mum gave David an insight into his new husband's character.
01:00:03He spent his whole life thinking that he has to perform for everyone.
01:00:07Because that's what they expect.
01:00:09Oh, Kia's a good laugh.
01:00:10You know, Kia's the life and soul of the party.
01:00:14Do you find talking about this type of stuff hard?
01:00:18That's why you deflect to, like, comedy?
01:00:20Yeah, I think talking about...
01:00:22No, do you know what?
01:00:23I don't find talking about sex hard.
01:00:24It's just...
01:00:27It's a defense mechanism.
01:00:28You do that.
01:00:29Yeah, 100%.
01:00:30If I feel slightly uncomfortable, or things are getting a little bit too serious,
01:00:34I make a light hard joke.
01:00:37Yeah.
01:00:38You deflect.
01:00:39Yeah.
01:00:40Don't know how I feel about that.
01:00:43I think we're going to have to work on that a little bit.
01:00:45We'll work on that.
01:00:46Yeah.
01:00:47If I am, like, being vulnerable and, like, talking and stuff like that,
01:00:49I want you to, like, be on the same level.
01:00:51That's all.
01:00:52Yeah.
01:00:55Not everything has to be an endo or a joke.
01:00:57I just don't need it to be all the time.
01:01:02I need deeper.
01:01:03I just need deeper.
01:01:21How are you?
01:01:22What's, you know?
01:01:23How are you doing?
01:01:24Um...
01:01:25Yeah.
01:01:26Yeah.
01:01:27Yeah.
01:01:28I mean, obviously, not much to go off, but...
01:01:30Yeah.
01:01:31Right.
01:01:32How did it all go on your side, I think.
01:01:34I mean, I'm really happy.
01:01:37Were you kind of...
01:01:38Was I what you asked for, or...?
01:01:40Yeah, I think so.
01:01:41Yeah.
01:01:42Well, it's...
01:01:43What did you ask for?
01:01:44Someone like...
01:01:45Charismatic.
01:01:46Someone respectful, actually.
01:01:47Yeah.
01:01:48I was quite big on respect.
01:01:49Yeah.
01:01:50Yeah.
01:01:51My father's very old school.
01:01:52Old school in what way?
01:01:54I was raised, like...
01:01:56Men are the breadwinners.
01:01:58So I was kind of raised that way.
01:01:59Why is it that you feel the man has to be the breadwinner out of interest?
01:02:11Yeah.
01:02:12Like old school morals, basically.
01:02:13Yeah.
01:02:18God, here we go.
01:02:21It's 2025, Ashley.
01:02:24Men don't have to be a moneymaker and the woman stays home.
01:02:28Stephen, do you want to put your hand around your wife?
01:02:42Don't be scared.
01:02:43I'm never scared.
01:02:44There you go.
01:02:45Lovely.
01:02:46And just look this way.
01:02:48How old are you?
01:02:4934.
01:02:50Are you?
01:02:51Yeah.
01:02:52You look younger.
01:02:53Oh, stop it.
01:02:54Now you're just playing with me.
01:02:55In your dreams.
01:02:56Well, hopefully, yeah.
01:02:57Sorry.
01:02:58Why is it you didn't?
01:02:59I know.
01:03:00Is he the nice?
01:03:01Yes.
01:03:02They got done.
01:03:03Composite?
01:03:04Yeah.
01:03:05I'm a dentist, which is why I clocked the teeth.
01:03:08Yeah, they look good.
01:03:09Thanks.
01:03:10And I've got to say, the red dress.
01:03:13Great.
01:03:14Do you like a sassy sister?
01:03:16Sassy girl?
01:03:17Sassy girl.
01:03:18I like someone who's going to give me a little bit to get her back.
01:03:21OK, perfect.
01:03:22So, yeah, you're for that.
01:03:23Absolutely.
01:03:24I really get to see your family.
01:03:26I think I was just really nervous.
01:03:27So, my brother and my sister were there.
01:03:28We're all three older brothers.
01:03:29Oh, wow.
01:03:30I'm the youngest.
01:03:31Are you?
01:03:32Yeah, I've got one sister just above me.
01:03:33So, there's five of you?
01:03:34I love a big, busy house.
01:03:36It's crazy.
01:03:37Yeah.
01:03:38I'm telling you that.
01:03:39All the nieces and nephews and stuff as well.
01:03:40It's amazing, though, isn't it?
01:03:41It is.
01:03:42Are you close to them?
01:03:43Your nieces and nephews?
01:03:44Yeah.
01:03:45Are they, like, your world?
01:03:46Yeah.
01:03:47It is nerve-wracking telling anyone, especially who I've just met, that I've got kids.
01:03:55It doesn't feel like the right time to be telling Nelly just yet.
01:03:58I've just met the girl.
01:03:59Yeah.
01:04:00I feel like just nothing really phases him, which is great.
01:04:06I'm excited.
01:04:08Let's get the party started.
01:04:09I can't wait.
01:04:10So, Grace.
01:04:11This is my dad.
01:04:12Nice to meet you, Carla.
01:04:13Ashley, nice to meet you.
01:04:14Nice to meet you.
01:04:15Are you OK?
01:04:16I'm sorry.
01:04:17You have a seat.
01:04:18We've got so many questions.
01:04:19Yeah.
01:04:20Fire away.
01:04:21Fire away.
01:04:22Is she everything that you were hoping would be at the end of the aisle?
01:04:25Yeah.
01:04:26I think, other than, like, the affection bit.
01:04:27The affection bit.
01:04:28Something like that.
01:04:29I wouldn't expect.
01:04:30So, are you normally, like, like, you know what I mean?
01:04:33Yeah.
01:04:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:35I think, other than, like, the affection bit.
01:04:37The affection bit.
01:04:38Something like that.
01:04:39Probably, like, making out straight away.
01:04:41No, no.
01:04:42No, 100%.
01:04:43If anything, at the ceremony, her not letting me kiss her.
01:04:46Yeah.
01:04:47Gained massive respect for her as well.
01:04:48OK, yeah.
01:04:49Like, she's a lady.
01:04:51Like, I was brought up with old school morals, so I kind of feel like it's the man's job to turn the woman around, if that makes sense.
01:04:57Yeah.
01:04:58It's the man's job to turn the woman around.
01:05:00Like, to make the effort.
01:05:02Yeah.
01:05:03I would say, yeah, I would say Grace is big on kind of partnership and equal power dynamics.
01:05:07Yeah.
01:05:08And everyone pulling their weight.
01:05:09Yeah.
01:05:10And, like, I think that's really important to her, right?
01:05:11Yeah.
01:05:12100%.
01:05:15Hannah's a bit of a gorilla, though, isn't she?
01:05:17Not a gorilla.
01:05:18A gorilla.
01:05:19As in, like, she grilled me.
01:05:21It's nice, though, that she feels that passionate about her friend and who I am and what's been picked for her.
01:05:32Would you describe yourself as a feminist?
01:05:35100% no.
01:05:37No.
01:05:40Grace is all about women's rights and empowering women.
01:05:43100% no.
01:05:44I wouldn't say.
01:05:45Not 100%, no.
01:05:46That's the wrong thing to say.
01:05:47I would say I do have old school more.
01:05:49And I was raised that the man was the breadwinner and things like that.
01:05:52I do have old school more and I was raised that the man was the breadwinner and things like that.
01:06:17A man that isn't a feminist probably isn't a person for grace.
01:06:24I'm not looking for, like, a washerwoman.
01:06:29I am an old school gent, so I will always treat her with the utmost respect.
01:06:34I don't think being an old school gent goes head to head with being a person that believes in equal partnership and equal power.
01:06:43But I would never see myself as anything other than equal to her.
01:06:48I think it is a partnership.
01:06:49In which case, I would describe him as a feminist.
01:06:51So that's good.
01:06:52Everyone's learned something today.
01:06:53And that's amazing.
01:06:56Yes, I'm a feminist.
01:07:00Like, I'm not going to go Ramboon in my bra or not.
01:07:02Do you know what I mean?
01:07:03And that's what I thought a feminist was.
01:07:04My advice would be she wants to know you respect her.
01:07:10Yeah.
01:07:11And she wants to like you as a person.
01:07:13When I explained to him what a feminist is, he came right around to it.
01:07:17It turns out that he just didn't understand the question.
01:07:19And he said he's just quite respectful of women and he wants someone to feel cared for.
01:07:23And I think Grace can really warm to that.
01:07:38My husband, oh God, it feels so weird saying that, is being really, actually really attentive, just like I wanted.
01:07:44Like, he's making sure he pulls out the chair for me.
01:07:46Like, it's great.
01:07:49When he turned round and you saw his face, his smile gave it away instantly.
01:07:53He's honestly like her ideal person.
01:07:55He wants someone who's going to have a good time and like, take her sense of humour and like...
01:07:59Good teeth.
01:08:00Yeah.
01:08:02We're getting all the gossip.
01:08:03Fantastic. Thank you, detectives.
01:08:08Does Stephen have any children?
01:08:12Sorry, I had a man.
01:08:13Oh, sorry.
01:08:18Stephen has two children.
01:08:20Two children.
01:08:24Kind of hoping it wouldn't come up.
01:08:26Not for anything.
01:08:27We just, we'd rather him...
01:08:28Yeah, no.
01:08:30I get that.
01:08:34So, have you all got kids then?
01:08:41I've got two boys.
01:08:42Oh, lovely.
01:08:43Peter's got two boys and a girl.
01:08:44Yeah.
01:08:45Paul's got two boys.
01:08:47Jordan hasn't.
01:08:49So, yeah, we are a big extended family as well.
01:08:51Nice.
01:08:52As well as the five of us already.
01:08:53Yeah.
01:08:57His family remind me of my family and I think that's what makes me feel a lot more comfortable and more safe.
01:09:01See yous in a bit.
01:09:02Bye.
01:09:03And I think, well, you've got such a great family, so surely you must be a such, like, a great guy.
01:09:09Did you drop the kid once?
01:09:12We were asked.
01:09:15He said it.
01:09:16Yeah.
01:09:19We had to.
01:09:20I could immediately see, like, you guys having, like, kind of a vibe.
01:09:25Yeah.
01:09:26Like, he was chatty, you were chatty.
01:09:27Yeah.
01:09:28He's like a proper family guy.
01:09:30Yeah.
01:09:31He's got, like, nieces and nephews.
01:09:34I've not asked him if he's got any kids yet, actually, but he's not mentioned it.
01:09:43I think it's difficult because you can't just be like, oh, we know that he's got, like, children.
01:09:49I think it's something he should say to her.
01:09:51It's going to be kind of awkward, but, you know, you just need to tell her.
01:09:55I think, I think you might have to just drop it.
01:09:56Yeah.
01:09:57But it's, it's just, like, you're trying to work that into a natural conversation.
01:10:09Hey.
01:10:10Hey, guys.
01:10:11How are you doing?
01:10:12How are you doing?
01:10:13How are you doing?
01:10:14How are you doing?
01:10:15Just for it to speak to you.
01:10:16As soon as she kind of entered and she was like, pop, it was like, that's what I asked for.
01:10:20Personality-wise, that's what I asked for.
01:10:21She is a lady.
01:10:22Yeah.
01:10:23Lovely.
01:10:24Yeah.
01:10:26Okay, so.
01:10:30Full disclosure.
01:10:32I had, like, a huge wobble.
01:10:33Oh, did you?
01:10:34Oh, God.
01:10:35Yeah.
01:10:36I think maybe I was more reliant on, like, an initial spot.
01:10:38I think I just was a bit, like.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:40Just such a massive build-up.
01:10:42Yeah.
01:10:43In, like, a photography.
01:10:45Mm-hmm.
01:10:46I was trying not to smile.
01:10:47He was like, smile.
01:10:49And I was like, oh, true.
01:10:51You know, like a man telling you to smile.
01:10:53Just smile.
01:10:54It's just that fundamental thing that, like, women don't want to do.
01:10:56Oh, I get that.
01:10:57And, like, the breadwinner thing.
01:10:58When he's like, I am traditional.
01:11:00I like to be the breadwinner.
01:11:01And I'm like, mm-hmm.
01:11:02He did say when we were sitting over there, I said, would you describe yourself as a feminist?
01:11:09Because I know that's super important.
01:11:10Yeah.
01:11:11Yeah.
01:11:12And he said, no.
01:11:14But then when I said, why don't you believe in my equality and that you're going to have,
01:11:23like, an equal partnership with someone.
01:11:25And he said, yeah.
01:11:26And so we said, yeah.
01:11:27Okay, so you're a feminist.
01:11:28He said, yeah.
01:11:29Okay.
01:11:30I said, you've learned something today.
01:11:31You're a feminist.
01:11:32And he said, okay, yeah.
01:11:33Okay.
01:11:34But then it's that, like, teaching thing, isn't it?
01:11:35It's like, oh, God, I'm going to have to bring you up to speed with, like, really basic issues.
01:11:38The thing is, though, Grace.
01:11:39Yeah.
01:11:40When he said, I'm going to be the breadwinner and all that stuff.
01:11:44Yeah.
01:11:45Although it made us all go a bit like this.
01:11:46It can be nuanced a little bit.
01:11:48Yeah.
01:11:49And although it makes you initially black oil.
01:11:50He is really lovely.
01:11:57Yeah.
01:11:58Yeah.
01:11:59It's really overwhelming.
01:12:00Can I tuck you into my arms?
01:12:02I just thought I wanted it to be really easy.
01:12:04I just thought it was really easy.
01:12:05It's not.
01:12:06It's not easy.
01:12:07Today has been so much.
01:12:09I'm going to give you a big hug.
01:12:10No, you don't like to enjoy.
01:12:11Sorry.
01:12:14It's so hard.
01:12:15It's so hard.
01:12:16It's so hard.
01:12:17It's so hard.
01:12:18It's so hard.
01:12:19This is a hard thing to do.
01:12:21You've had a really emotional day.
01:12:23Oh, girl.
01:12:24I love South Africa.
01:12:25Mm-hmm.
01:12:26It's beautiful.
01:12:27Beautiful.
01:12:28Beautiful.
01:12:29Just like you.
01:12:30See?
01:12:31Not hot.
01:12:32You're going to make me blush.
01:12:33No.
01:12:34Stop.
01:12:35During the safari, Daveed mentioned that I deflect and use humor.
01:12:36Cheers.
01:12:37Cheers.
01:12:38Cheers.
01:12:39Cheers.
01:12:40Cheers.
01:12:41I haven't been open and vulnerable with Daveed to explain to him why I do that.
01:12:45I want to share with him that side to give him
01:13:15humour to deflect so um let me just sorry let me just uh preface with this with i will probably
01:13:30make uh i'm gonna try not to make inappropriate jokes um or to deflect but um good i my mum
01:13:38comes from a military background we're a military family and that's kind of just how we deal with
01:13:42our trauma we make jokes and like and make light hearted because it's better to make people laugh
01:13:47um and to just kind of get through it but yeah so my my brother was um very disabled he had a
01:13:58cerebral palsy um so when he was born he was only meant to live until he was one um thankfully he
01:14:06lived until he was nine just turning 10 um so it was a lot to deal with and it was the same time
01:14:14as my parents were getting divorced as well so we were losing our family home and having to move
01:14:17um so i guess the reason why there's so many situations i deflect because it was a coping
01:14:24mechanism that i always had to get me through a really difficult period where we obviously lost
01:14:32my brother and uh well the family as we knew it um yeah it sorry here sorry
01:14:44um and it's really hard for me to open up and be vulnerable because my natural instinct is to
01:14:57make light and make a joke to make people smile and to make people laugh uh because sometimes that
01:15:04is easier
01:15:05now i understand i understand but i'm trying i'm trying i know you are and i'm really proud of you
01:15:15i knew there was something more that he just needed time to feel comfortable to open up to me
01:15:34this definitely uh deepened our emotional connection together
01:15:36this is what i want to see i want to see that because you have a beautiful heart
01:15:48you have a beautiful heart and i wanted to see that
01:15:59have you enjoyed today
01:16:07mmm yeah it was really fun right i like
01:16:12sarah's mentioned the rap singing being a bit annoying and it's something that i'll definitely
01:16:16take on board tonight hoping to just continue to get to know each other more and more
01:16:20hopefully progress in our relationship when i step by step get to that marriage that i think we've both
01:16:24dreamed of so how are you finding everything how are you finding married life still a bit surreal to
01:16:31be honest do you think the same it's such a whirlwind isn't it but i feel like we're getting to know
01:16:36each other like loads and loads but it just yeah it does feel yeah it feels good it feels comfortable
01:16:41i think i'm still like i'm obviously wanting to work on it and try and see what happens but yeah i'm
01:16:46very much like i don't want to put pressure on it i don't want to start a rush of the thing i just want
01:16:51to take each day as it comes and just yeah just see what happens i myself i'm a little bit of a
01:16:56slow burner i like to kind of get to know a person and like kind of see how it goes then what are you
01:17:01like usually um i think it just depends because i usually would move quite quickly
01:17:10usually when i have gone with like previous partners it's probably that been that attraction
01:17:15that i've then been drawn to them and then it's moved quickly that's the only sort of thing that i
01:17:19would say you know it maybe would be usually quicker quicker but it's just because it's not got that
01:17:24initial spark just for me at the moment it's still friend zone
01:17:37if i feel that spark i'm all in
01:17:39god sorry dean
01:17:48i was kind of thinking that i would like you know marrying someone and being like okay like this is
01:17:54it i've got my person he's going to be here with me 24 7 and i'm like no that's not what i want so
01:17:57you know i think it's yeah so what was your like first initial reaction what you thought when like
01:18:04obviously i turned around and you was walking down um you know you weren't sort of looks wise what i
01:18:14was expecting so i think initially i was a bit like okay um have you ever been with anyone bigger
01:18:22or anything like what's your usual type and stuff like that have i been with anyone who's like bigger
01:18:26like that yeah no i have to admit that no
01:18:32if you hear that you're not someone's type that has left me feeling deflated all of a sudden you're
01:18:38not going to put yourself out there as much because you don't want to get hurt like you don't
01:18:41want to be rejected have you ever been friends with somebody that's done into a romantic relationship
01:18:49no
01:18:49it's hard to hear and i'm starting to feel rejected like no one wants to be rejected and
01:18:57it does feel like like you're just friends
01:19:01i genuinely don't know how i'm going to get past
01:19:05the fact that there isn't the attraction there isn't the spark
01:19:09you know it's not friend at first sight i want to meet the love of my life
01:19:19i have to be honest i just envisioned something completely different
01:19:35it's lovely honestly i met you and i thought why has he put me straighties it's freaking me out
01:19:52you've made me just feel really really comfortable and i just want you to know that you can always be
01:19:57honest with me so obviously we're both family orientated yeah what i need is to tell you
01:20:05i wanted to bring it up sooner i need to find the right moment be alone time
01:20:13away from sort of families me and you
01:20:17so i'm a dad
01:20:21got two kids i'm glad that you could share that with me
01:20:28obviously they are sort of my world kind of thing
01:20:31so how are you feeling now
01:20:39i'm chill about it
01:20:42that that that's the weight of my shoulders yeah you go into the process you know how's
01:20:47you going to take that for kids yeah you know having the conversation of being open and honest
01:20:52i don't know why but if i find myself like liking someone i have the tendency to
01:21:01i'm so afraid of getting hurt again that i'll put my walls straight up and i'll start self-sabotaging
01:21:06although i'm really really trying to be aware of it because i don't want to put my walls up and i
01:21:12want to be able to explore a connection because that's literally why we're here right yeah we've
01:21:17all got past relationship trauma yeah that's what makes us who we are today right so yes so maybe
01:21:22we just actually just really need to be honest with each other and just have each other's back
01:21:25and yeah just pick each other up that's the thing i think you promised i think you promised
01:21:28that this is the first time that i've opened up to somebody this even makes me feel really
01:21:39comfortable and safe so i think so far i'm much made in heaven
01:21:50i cannot believe we got married today something i've always dreamed of i think the days exceeded
01:21:55expectations we're very excited about nilly and i's journey ahead
01:22:02i've always got to this day and i just feel like i might have been matched with someone who actually
01:22:07will just like me for me and i don't have to pretend to be who i'm not like it takes a lot to um
01:22:17oh god what's wrong with me
01:22:18like it takes a lot to open up to somebody
01:22:27and i really just want to i want to give it my all god this is i said i wouldn't do this and it's day
01:22:34one oh god
01:22:39i think i'm ready to receive and give love if that's on the cards
01:22:54next time right now he's not putting a foot wrong nelly and stephen go from strength to strength

01:23:05i said i want a tomboy barbie like what oh oh every now and then he just says something and i
01:23:10think like do you know how that sounds sarah's forthright take on how to ignite a spark with dean
01:23:16get some tattoos and lose some weight combined with demands for honesty would it be any different if
01:23:22i wasn't as big um further test the couple's marriage probably and as two more brave singles
01:23:32i'm scared but i'm definitely ready and to the experiment
01:23:38one of the brides has serious second thoughts should we do a cheek i don't know if she fancies me you know
