Cannot believe I'm getting married.
16 brave singles...

This is real now.
..have already met...

I just really want
this one to work out.

..and married at first sight.

The match is perfect.

Pinning their hopes on
lasting love...

I think I have found my
Prince Charming.

..on a connection with a
hand-picked stranger.

Maybe she's truly the one.

Tonight...

I just really want to have that
one special someone that I can spend

the rest of my life with.

..four more singles join
the experiment.

The right kind of love is
an unbreakable love.

..taking the ultimate leap of faith.

Finding someone to share my life
with is what I'm looking for.

I want to fall in love.

It's a massive deal for me.

But could a picky bride...

Felt like I'd just taken
a sleeping tablet at the altar.

If he was a bit taller,
and lose the bowl cut -

we can tweak.

..and a lack of spark...

If you'd have seen her
at a nightclub,

would she have turned your head?
Probably not.

..overshadow the newcomers'
hopes of happiness.

I can't control how I feel.

It's not, like, love at first sight.

Well, we're at the exciting point
in the experiment now,

where we get to introduce
two new couples.

I'm really looking forward
to seeing how these guys fare

not just in their own marriages,

but also, how they assimilate
into the wider group.

It's definitely going
to be interesting.

So, the first pair I'd like
to talk about is Erica and Jordan.

I'm a dance teacher.

One, two, round!

I think I definitely feel most me
when I'm either onstage,

or literally dancing in my room.

It doesn't matter where I am.

Something takes over my body...

..and I think I'm in
Beyonce's music video,

and I will literally be busting
every move on that dance floor.

I think when I am at the club,

the way I dance
turns a lot of heads,

gets a lot of attention.

But the dating scene in
Edinburgh is terrible.

Everybody knows everyone.

I've already dealt with
all the fit ones,

and I don't want them.

Cheers.

How's your love life, Erica?

Not going to lie, right now,
I actually say it's...non-existent.

I've been single for just
under a year-and-a-half now.

I'm very picky and selective
of who I let into my life.

My friends don't try
and hook me up with people,

because they know how picky I am.

I know what I want and,
as soon as I have that,

I'll be like, "That's it."

I can be a bit nit-picky.

If I have the ick,
or I'm just not feeling them,

my face says it all, to be honest,

so we're all going to know,
we're all going to know.

I live with my grandparents.

My grandparents have been married
for over 40 years, I think.

Oh, my dancing photos. Yes. Aww.

They took me under their wing,
and they are incredible.

Like, they are honestly,
the absolute world to me.

I adore them.

What was I like back then?

You were feisty. Was I?
You were feisty.

My gran calls me her
"heart's delight".

Honestly, they're so amazing.

HE CHUCKLES

My grandparents
have literally been my rock.

I honestly don't know what
I would do without them.

I've dealt with so much
chaos growing up.

I was really close with my mum.

She was my superhero.

She was a single mum.
I was an only child.

So, it was just me and her
for such a long time.

But she got married,

and I really didn't like him.

And then, when I was 12,
I got into boarding school,

so my relationship with my mum
probably isn't as good

as I'd want it to be now.

I didn't really have a close
relationship with my dad growing up.

I would see him at Christmas
and birthdays to get my present,

but we've never really had
a close relationship.

INTERVIEWER: Do you wish you had
a closer relationship,

like, with your father?

I feel like I'm going to cry.
WEEPY CHUCKLING

You go to your friend's house,

and you see their family all
at the dinner table,

and it's, like,
a bit of a fairy-tale,

because it's something
that I never had.

It's what I've always wanted.

Growing up was super hard,

so I need someone that is going
to bring me stability.

Getting married and having
that fairy-tale life is something

I've literally always dreamed of.

A gorgeous husband,

some kids, a beautiful house,

and just pure, genuine love.

My future husband needs
to be kind, funny, driven,

ambitious, family-orientated,

a genuine, pure soul,

and just be, like,
a power couple, dynamic duo!

I would love that so much.

You look like someone familiar.
Who's that?

Does anyone say that you ever look
like anyone in particular?

Yeah, Jack Grealish. OK.
It's just the hair.

This end of the body, yeah,
this end, no.

Don't get me wrong,
I wish I had his career

and his calves.

Oops.

My biggest interest is
the gym and fitness.

Fitness is everything to me.

It's a career now.

I work as a personal trainer,
and I love it.

Who doesn't want
to look good, right?

Cos I want to look good when
I go out, obviously.

Solids. Not a bad start, is it?

My friends say that I talk a lot.

I'm quite loud, and I don't shut up.

Lewis, don't bottle it,
that's all I'm going to say.

I tend to talk a lot
when I'm excited,

I just go on, I ramble.

Lewis, have you actually
potted one yet?

What's that?
what were you doing there.

I would like to be a quiet,
mysterious kind of person, but...

Oh, what is that?

..but I just talk way too much,
I'm just passionate.

If I like the way a lamppost looks,

I could talk about
that lamppost for ages.

I can't even remember what you
asked me, then, you know?

But I'm just rambling on.

Oops.

Here are your drinks. Is that yours?
Yes, that's mine. That's yours.

Because it was just me, my mum,
and my sister growing up...

Cheers and water. Cheers.
If that's what you're drinking.

Yeah, I'm a Mumma's boy.
Like, we're really close.

Yeah, I was the only
man of the house.

Growing up, I was very unsettled,
I reckon.

People always say, you look back
on your childhood and

they're the best days of your life.

I would not go back to my childhood.

My mum and dad split up
when I was three.

I only have, like, two memories.

One memory that's not so bad,
and one that's probably one of

the most traumatic things
that you could imagine.

There you are, mate. Thank you.

Lucky scarf. Lucky scarf.

He didn't have
the best of childhoods

when me and his dad split up.

It was hard.

My dad's been like
his dad to him, really.

He taught him how to play football,
to ride his bike,

to tie his shoelaces.

Family's very important to Jordan.

Let's go.

My grandad, he's been one of the
biggest influences in my life.

Bye, Nonny. Bye. Bye!

He's the rock of the family,

like, my idea of what
a gentleman should be like.

How did events as a little boy

impact how you show up
in relationships?

In relationships, I do like
to look after my girl, my woman.

Like, if I've got someone -
to protect them at all costs.

What does your marriage look like?
Describe it to me.

I believe that there's one person
out there that you'll connect with

more than anyone else, and it's that
kind of feeling that you're like,

wherever - I could be like
a million miles away from home,

but if I'm with you,
it feels like home.

That kind of feeling, like,
probably the fairy-tale feeling.

I want to get married.

Love makes everything better.

Life sucks when you've not got
someone you're in love with.

The right kind of love is
an unbreakable love,

That security of knowing
you're going to start the day with

the right person in the right place,
and finish it with them.

For me, that's the best
feeling in the world.

My perfect scenario would be
a girl that looks after herself,

so is into fitness.

A beautiful face and hourglass body.

Why would you want to be
with someone else

when they're in this world?

This is what love is.

I'm really hoping for love's
young dream here.

Despite their youth,
I believe these two are ready

and eager for commitment.

I think so, too.

There's a desire to create the
stability and security

that both of them lacked growing up,

that comes from
a successful marriage.

I think they could really
bond over that.

I get the sense that Erica could get

the ick quite easily,
and could be a little picky.

I don't know if that's
a defence mechanism,

but it is something she needs
to guard against.

Absolutely, this process is
all about the long game.

We expect people
to give each other a chance,

and not make snap decisions.

I'm optimistic.

Erica and Jordan. Yes.

Next up, we have JJ and Bianca.

JJ, what do you believe people's
first impression of you is?

I'd like to think
they think that I dress well.

THEY LAUGH

I think people would say
like a party boy,

going out a lot.

They might say
I'm a bit of a player.

I have lived in LA.

It was a completely different world.

Every weekend, we would be
in Malibu hanging out,

playing volleyball on the beach,

seeing celebrities all
over the place.

Spending my money on nice things.

All the clubs, all the restaurants.

Nice cars come in handy for dates.

INTERVIEWER: Any other hobbies
or interests?

Girls.

LA girls are wild.

They all want to have
a good time, pretty, hot.

A lot of fun.

I've always gone for looks,
I always need that initial spark.

My ex was a Victoria's Secret model.

Amazing to look at,

I loved, like, going out with her,

she was really,
really, really pretty,

and the relationship
was pretty wild.

At the time, I definitely thought
I was in love with her.

But if you're going to
play with fire,

then expect to get burnt.

She cheated on me.

It was horrible,
and it hurt me a lot.

Probably one of the worst things
that I've been through.

I've been chasing
the wrong type of girl,

and I'm aware of that now.

I left LA, and I went
back to the UK.

The most important things to me
are my friends and family,

and having great
relationships with them.

My mum and I are super close.

We speak every day.

And my dad, he's remarried,

lives 15 minutes from me.

I'm really close to both of them.

I would say I'm successful.

I run a business doing
something I love.

I own a clothing brand.

I work hard and I really enjoy it,
love what I do.

But all the success in the world

doesn't mean anything unless
you've got people spend it with.

Oh, hello, mate. Hello, mate.
Come on in.

All my friends that are my age
are coupled up, having babies,

on to that next chapter.

I really want what they have,
and what other couples have.

Tell you what, you look
all right there, holding him.

Yeah, it suits you, mate.
Won't be long. We'll see.

People probably wouldn't
know this about me -

I can't believe I'm saying it -

but I love rom coms,
and I love the idea of love,

and when you watch these films,
you kind of think,

"One day, I hope that
happens to me."

Going to the club and meeting
random girls just doesn't

do anything for me any more.

I want that next step in life.

With my image and
the places that I go to,

I do usually sort of attract
a certain type of girl.

A physical attraction and
a spark is something

that has been quite important to me.

It seems like in the past,
you've gone for looks

over personality, but what are
the most important values that

you'd like your partner to have?

Someone that's loving and caring.

The thing that I want
for my wife is just, like, nice.

I know it's such a cliched word,

but just a nice, good person.

Family-orientated, loyal,
someone I feel safe with, I think.

I don't know if
I've ever been loved,

so finding someone to share my life
with is literally, like, everything.

It's the final piece,
I think, for me.

I'm definitely an ambitious person.

Hi, it's Bianca calling.

I set up a hair extension
business a few years ago...

Yeah, perfect.

..and it boomed.

I could not believe how busy I got.

I love running my own business,
and I want to be successful.

I want to be able to look back
on my life and say,

"I worked damn
hard for what I've got."

I feel like 20's a nice
shade for you.

Yeah, that's better.
That's nice. Yeah.

I'm not much of a party girl,

I prefer to spend my weekends
with my family.

Let me just turn these
cannellonis off.

I'm Italian, and I'm from
a big Italian family background.

I live with my mum and dad,

I am the last one left at home.
SHE CHUCKLES

Everyone should experience your
Italian food once in a lifetime.

Aww. It's so good. Thanks, Bianca.

It's so sweet. I love it,
because we have such a good bond.

I would call them my best friends,
if they weren't my parents.

How long have you two, like,
been married for?

40 years on. Is that how long it is?

Bit more, probably.
We've known each other a lot longer.

I want a marriage like
my parents have,

because seeing them being in love
just gives me so much inspiration.

I want that love, that friendship,
your soulmate all in one.

I want that, and I feel like
I've just not been able to find it.

I just feel like I'm never
going to meet anyone.

Yeah, you will. You will. You will.

You'll know when it's Mr Right

because he'll have
the same values as you.

He'll fight for you.
And you'll fight for him.

I think, for me, I wear my heart
on my sleeve a lot.

And throughout my life, with guys,
I've faced quite a lot of rejection.

And I have trust issues from
a previous relationship.

It kind of traumatised me.

He was not very nice to me.

And it made me think, "If this is
what relationships are like,

"I didn't want them."

And it took me to go to therapy
to realise that what I went through

wasn't what I should've
had to deal with,

and not everyone was like that.

Even though I've not been
successful with relationships,

it's always, like, a goal for me to
be able to walk down the aisle

and marry the man of my dreams.

I would love my wedding day to be
a romcom - kind of soppy, lovey,

wearing the most beautiful dress,

with all my family around me,
and seeing my husband at the end of

the aisle, just smiling.

I want him to be successful.

I want him to have his
life together.

I want him to be family-orientated.

I want him to want children.

If he looks nice and has a nice car,
yeah, I think that is quite sexy.

With JJ, we're seeing
a recurring pattern.

He's drawn to the glitz and glamour,

and the girls who represent that.

It's no surprise
that he's dated models.

But where has that got him?

I agree. He really needs
to break that cycle.

What Bianca offers him is someone
who embodies the deeper,

more important values that
he wants in a wife.

Loyalty, kindness, love of family.

There's a lot of shared ground.

Underneath her sweet exterior,

there's also a steeliness and
a determination to Bianca

that I think JJ will respond to.

Like JJ, she's set up and runs
her own business.

They're both entrepreneurs
with drive and ambition.

My reservation is that JJ
has these set ideas

when it comes to looks.

Hopefully, he can get past
his fixation with the surface level

and physical appearance.

If he can, this is
fundamentally a good match,

and I would really love
for it to work.

Bianca and JJ.

I hope he matches my energy.

Like we're just on the same vibe,
that would be, like...

Yeah, keep you on your toes.
Do you think?

I hope so, to put you in your place,
you need that.

You don't want to eat him
for breakfast.

Maybe I do.

Oh! OK!

I've got my friends, my family here,
the people that I love.

And this is a big deal,
it is a marriage.

THEY CHEER

I'm going into something huge.

What do you think he's
going to be like?

I mean, you do like
a good-looking guy. Yeah.

What are the icks
that you think you'd have?

White, ripped skinny jeans!

Yeah, that's a big no-no.

Focus more on the person as a whole,

rather than just what they,
like, look like.

Because you do obviously have
that first attraction,

but sometimes, you're just a bit
too picky with that,

I would say, maybe.

Right, that's your cufflinks.

The actual watch wants to go
on the right-hand side.

I'm feel really nervous about
forgetting my vows

or mispronouncing something.

I'm nervous about whether
she's going to like me.

Right, this is the final piece,
then. Yep.

Having my grandad here
means the world to me.

His presence just calms me down.

You know how much we think
about you. Yeah.

So, I hope you get the girl of
your dreams, and enjoy it...

I'll try.
..and everything works out.

You got any fears?
You worried about anything?

I just worry that
he's not going to like me.

But you shouldn't do.

Don't know, like, rejection's just
like a horrible feeling, int'it?

Of course it is, but today's
the day, he's going to say "yes".

I haven't had a committed
relationship for years.

It's been a long time, I feel
like I wear my heart on my sleeve,

and I feel like I have
so much love to give.

You'll be fine, you've got us here.

Thank you. ..to support you,
no matter what. I know.

Because I always think everyone
deserves to be loved,

and treated special.

A think it's time someone
in your life saw what

a beautiful person you are, Bianca.

Just to see you walk down there
and look at him, and be happy

will be the biggest gift of all.
Aw, thank you.

For my mum, because I'm
the baby of the family,

she wants to be able to give me away

to someone who's just as loving
and caring as she is.

I just hope this is the only time
I ever walk down the aisle.

I hope.

Here he is. What's happenin', boys?

I cannot believe
I'm getting married today.

I've tried throughout the past
to have serious relationships,

and they haven't worked out,

so today feels like
a leap of faith.

This is actually happening, then.
Yeah, I know.

I'm happy you're here,
I can't lie. I'm nervous.

What you nervous about, though?
You nervous about...

Nervous about seeing her, obviously.

Hope she's, like, my type.

I have an image in my head of what
she's going to look like.

I tend to know instantly if
there's that initial attraction.

The fear of the unknown is there.

When I turn around,
it could literally be anybody.

Not knowing and not being
in control of that is scary.

Cheers. Cheers, boys.

Could be the one, boys.
Yeah, exactly.

Tried everything else, ain't I?

Oh, my Lord. Oh, my gosh, Bianca!

Don't, because you'll get me crying.

You look beautiful.
You'll set me off!

You look gorgeous. You do!
Give us a twirl.

Do you like it?
That's beautiful. Oh, my gosh.

My mum and dad, they are
my inspiration for marriage,

and I want the same as
what they've had,

I want a long-standing marriage.
I want it to be successful.

You look beautiful, Bianca.
Thank you, Dad.

TEARFULLY: I didn't think
I would ever get married...

..or, like, find the
love of my life.

It's just crazy.

I've just always thought
I'll be the single one, on my own,

and I would watch everyone
else fall in love,

and I'd just be left.

So, the fact that it's
happening to me....

..I can't get over it.

Bianca is a beautiful daughter,

she deserves all
the happiness in the world,

and I'm sure that she'll find
her Prince Charming today.

I'm ready, like,
I want to fall in love.

I want to be with someone,

and I just hope he's the one.

When I turn around
and I see her for the first time,

I'm hoping that she's what
I'm looking for.

Hi. Are you mum?

Yeah...I'm really nervous.

I'm absolutely terrified.

Ooh, my stomach's gone funky.

I have always wanted to get married.

I want to fall in love.

This is a massive deal for me.

Mum. Hello.
Hi, guys, nice to meet you.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

How are you feeling, you nervous?

Obviously a lot. Do I look it?
THEY LAUGH

I'm excited to meet
the love of my life,

because I have no idea what
that feels like.

I've never had that
"you're my one and only,"

it's never happened to me.

The initial attraction, I'll know
straight away whether that's there.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. You OK? Yeah, are you?
Yeah, good thank you. Thank you.

How's it going, mate?

Thank you.

Hi. You OK? Hi.
I'm Bianca, nice to meet you.

I'm absolutely terrified.
How are you? I'm the same.

You look so handsome.
Thank you, you look amazing.

You look lovely. Thank you.

Hi! My family. Yeah.

I fancy him on initial attraction.

He is lovely,
he has such a beautiful smile.

When I first saw Bianca,
it wasn't what I was expecting.

I don't want to sound disappointed,
but...

..it's not like love at first sight.

Today, we've come together
to celebrate the union

of Bianca and John-Joe,

and to celebrate the joining of
two people who have been

matched for a reason,

as they embark on their new
adventure together.

So, John-Joe. No pressure.

You can hold Bianca's hand,
maybe with one hand. OK.

"Well, here I am, marrying the girl
I met a few minutes ago.

"I've never been one
to take the easy path in life,

"but the paths I've taken
have lead me to you.

"I believe life is for living
and making memories,

"and I can safely say
the moment I met you is

"a memory that will last
a lifetime."

Oh, that was so sweet.

"I can't believe today is happening,

"and I'm about to say 'I do'
to a stranger.

"I'm standing here today as
my journey to find love has hit

"many difficulties in the past.

"But being unlucky in love
has brought me here,

"which has led me to you.

"I'm coming into this experiment
being completely vulnerable,

"offering everything I have to you.

"I know that marriage won't
always be easy, but my mum and dad

"have taught me that as long
as you're willing to make it work,

"you can have a successful
marriage together.

"I'm excited for our journey
together, even though

"this is the first time we've met.

"But I hope you're my last 'I do'."

Today, you've made your
commitment to each other,

and I'm therefore delighted
to announce you,

as husband and wife.

You may now seal your union
with a kiss.

My husband's definitely a catch,
he's very good-looking.

He's very much what I'd go for,
actually, so I'm really pleased.

I'd built up an image in my head of
the most perfect girl ever.

It's difficult because she's
a nice girl, but she's not like

the girls I usually go for.

Guys, could I get a kiss
right now? Is that OK?

Are you paying him?
Let me get my... No!

Is it all over my face?

Do you mind, ever so slightly,
holding it for a split second?

HE CHUCKLES

That's it.
Lovely, just stay there, lovely.

Thanks, guys. Thank you.
SHE GIGGLES

Having photos with someone that
you've just met, and that's that,

and, like, kiss, that's weird.

It was quite awkward.

ERICA: I'm actually a lot
more nervous now.

I just do not know what to expect.

Hi, you guys! Hello! Hi!

Erica does have high expectations
when it comes to love.

I hope that he can
keep up with her.

JORDAN: It would mean everything
to find my forever partner.

I don't know if there's
a bigger fairy-tale than finding

the love of your life,
and this feels right.

Oh, my God it's actually happening.

I don't know how I'm supposed
to be feeling right now.

It's not natural, is it?

Oh, my God.

It's feeling extremely real now.

Who knows what's at the end
of that aisle?

This could be the start
of something so incredible.

I'm putting my emotions on the line.

I'm putting everything on
the line. Everything.

I've always been
a hopeless romantic.

I just want have that one person

that I can spend
the rest of my life with.

Hello. Hi! You look beautiful.

Thank you so much.

What's your name? What's your name?
LAUGHTER

I'm Erica. Erica, nice to meet you.
I'll give you a hug. Yeah, nice...

Give me a hug!

What's your name? Jordan.

SHE SQUEALS
How are you feeling?

I'm OK! Yeah? How are you?

Er...I don't know.
I'm relieved, I think.

From the back, I thought
my husband had a bowl cut.

But then, he turned round,

and he's a good-looking boy.

Ah, I'm feeling better now.
Breathe! Yeah.

Honestly, you look really good.
Thank you.

I really like her blue eyes
and her figure,

and I really like what I see.

Well, a warm welcome
to everyone on this very unique

and special occasion.

You have prepared
some personal wedding vows.

Thank you. OK.

NERVOUS GIGGLING
Ahem.

"I want to start by saying
how excited I am

"to be on this journey together.

"I truly believe that the universe
brings you people for a reason,

"and I hope this is the missing
piece we've been searching for.

"I wear my heart on my sleeve,
and I'm ready to give this my all.

"Not only have you gained
a wife today,

"but also a best friend.
I've got your back.

"And if you keep me safe,
I'll keep you wild.

"Anyone who is crazy enough to do
this is crazy enough for me."

SHE GIGGLES

That's nice.

That's nice.

OK. Right.

"You've been on my mind,

"giving me sleepless nights
with all the nerves and excitement.

"Wondering who is wonderfully weird,

"yet beautiful enough to be stood
at this altar, looking into my eyes.

"Now I can finally look
into your eyes,

"the nerves have gone, leaving
just the feeling of excitement.

"Excited about being at the start of
this wild journey we'll be on.

"A journey that will be full
of highs and lows.

"Just know, I will be there to hold
your hand every step of the way.

"You deserve a man
who makes you laugh,

"fills you with excitement,
and makes you happy.

"I'll always be there to make sure
I become that man for you."

These vows are a bit long.

"I'm sure if we give it
our best shot,

"we will make a formidable team,

"and we will make each other
better and find our way."

NERVOUS GIGGLING

"As long as we're waking up and
falling asleep next to each other,

"wherever we are in the world,
it will feel like home."

I kind of lost track at the vows,
to be honest.

There was just a lot going on,

and I was trying to take it all in.

"I've always been wanting a love
story that's perfectly crazy

"to the point people will barely
believe it or understand it.

"This might just be the story."

Whoo-hoo-hoo!
APPLAUSE

Do you, Jordan,
take Erica as your wife?

I do. Offering...
MUSIC STOPS

Oh! Sorry, I'm so eager. OK!

I'm so keen. Sorry, I d...
LAUGHTER

Do you, Jordan,
take Erica as your wife,

offering her your love,
trust, and respect,

as together, you create your future?

I do.

And do you, Erica,
take Jordan as your husband?

I do.

It now gives me the greatest of
pleasure to introduce you

as husband and wife.

Would you like to share
your first kiss?

OK.
LAUGHTER

Yeah, we did it!

CHEERING

All the negative thoughts
and negativity that I had built up

through worry has just gone.

Erica is everything I hoped for.

And beautiful, as well.

He has a lovely smile,
his eyes are very kind.

So, he's my type,

But, if I'm being picky,
if he was a bit taller

and lose the bowl cut...

We can tweak.
SHE LAUGHS

I've been in relationship,
like, I've had a serious -

well, not that serious,
but three-and-a-half years,

and we lived together,
and all that kind of stuff...

But I had to go to Los Angeles
for, like, three months,

and I kind of chose, like, to follow
what I wanted to do for myself.

Yeah. I was with, like...

This man can talk. A lot.

..Like, not centre of attention,
but I'm like the one who's making

quite a few people laugh and...

There is a vibe there, we get along.

The only thing is
he keeps going with it,

and going and going, and going,
and then, I'm gone.

There was like beautiful moments,
like, going up this mountain,

like, near Malibu,
and it was like this...

If he just stuck with the substance,

I'd still be there.

We were in this, like, really
beautiful spot that I thought

it'd be perfect to take someone.

BIANCA: So, do you like being
called JJ, or John-Joe?

These boys will all call me JJ,
or J, so...

What would you like me to call you?

Whatever you want, really. OK.

I like your smile. 'Kay.

You've got really nice teeth.

Thank you.

We've just got married.

Hopefully he really likes me.

He is smiling, so I can only
take it as he's happy.

You look like the kind of person
who would protect someone...

Of course, of course.

Yeah, I'm not a nasty person,
I put people's feelings

and thoughts ahead of my -

I always think about them,
basically. Yeah.

I always think that good
communication, you can't go wrong.

If you communicate and talk to
each other, you can solve anything.

Bianca is warm, welcoming,

she made me feel at ease.

But when I put my time and
effort into someone,

usually there's that sexual
attraction straight away.

At the moment, she might be
a bit more into me than I am her.

It does worry me a little bit,

that we're not on
the same page completely.

You OK? You all right?
Yeah, yes.

Are you happy?

Yeah, I'm reall...
Yeah, I'm happy, yeah.

Is there any concerns
that you have about him?

No, honestly, no concerns.

I just want to get to know him now.
Yeah.

I want to fall in love,
I want to give myself to someone,

I want to be vulnerable,

and I'm hoping that's
what he wants, too.

She seems like a nice girl. Yeah.

You pleased?

Not, erm, not my usual type.

No? But, yeah, she's pretty.

Yep. Mm-hm. Yeah.

All right.

I come in to this experiment
to find love.

She's a nice girl, but I just
can't help how I feel.

Do you know what I've found weird?

Is - like, you've obviously got
your grandma up on the table,

and I've got my grandad?

Yeah, it's so nice.

How did you feel,
being the best man?

Oh, it were brilliant!
It was so nice! Honour for me.

Have yous always had, like,
a close relationship?

Yeah, we have, haven't we? Yeah.

Who do you live with?
My gran and my papa. I love that.

When I... Just to make sure, you did
say your Papa's your grandad?

Yeah, my Papa's my grandad.

Basically, I moved back
from London and...

I-I did the same growing up
when I was in my teenage years.

I was like 14, and I wasn't
having a good time at home,

so I moved into my nan
and Grandad's.

But... See, nans and grandads...

From what I've seen so far,

I don't know if it's there 100%.

He has a lovely face,

I am very attracted to his face,

but it's the chat that's
making me take a step back.

It's just, like, giving me the ick.

I was going to ask if you've got
any brothers and sisters.

I've got four - the oldest is 17,
the one after that is coming up...

I only have one sister,
which is enough.

When I do start talking about me,

he just starts want to
talk about him!

Sometimes I just want to say
to Jordan, "Sh!"

I've missed you guys!

Hiya!
THEY SQUEAL

Hello, my angels!

Ahh! We missed you.

How do you feel? You're married.

I think he's really nice.

You guys are like, vibing...
Am I the only rational one here?

What do you mean "rational"?

The first thing was,
you know the vows?

They were really nice.

Yeah, they were lovely,
but they were so long.

I felt like I'd just taken
a sleeping tablet at the altar.

Come on. I think that's a bit harsh.

I think that's really harsh.
Erica!

People can be really nice,
and actually be good people.

I'm being nit-picky, but
it's annoying me that every time

I try and talk about me, it's like,
he wants to talk about him,

and I'm like,
"Shut up and let me talk."

Do you like him? Definitely.

Can you see this going somewhere?

Are you attracted to him?
I am attracted to him.

Like, he has gorgeous skin,
a gorgeous face.

There's definitely,
like, a sexual chemistry.

THEY LAUGH

My best advice for you is just to,
like, go into it with an open heart.

I think you need to
not close off so quickly.

You need to give him a chance.
You're overthinking it. Am I?

Live in the moment,
and with what's actually happening.

If you're happy with something
he says, enjoy that.

The girls always have my back,

and I was coming to them and being
like, "I don't like this,

"I don't like that,
this is making mee feel weird,"

and they were like,
"No, stop! You're nit-picking,

"we don't think any
of these things,"

and it did really calm me down.

Love you, baby. I love yous.
Love you, darling. Love you so much.

I love you so much.

You all right? Yeah, good, you?
How you feeling? I'm all right now.

How's it feel to be married.
Feels a bit mad.

Be honest. Shocked. Yeah. Yeah.

If you'd seen her in
a nightclub last Saturday,

would she have turned your head
then, do you think?

Prob-Probably not,
to be honest with you. Mm.

Obviously, initial attraction is
important to me, you boys know me.

I think you'll both really get on,
and you'll be surprised

how well you get on.

I think that'll make her
more attractive to you,

the more you get to know her.
Yeah. 100%, I agree, yeah.

Yeah. Just give it 100%, mate.

Yous always say to me
I need someone who's nice,

caring, look after me and stuff.
Of course, yeah.

The way I've done things in
the past hasn't worked for me.

Time to try something new.

I normally go for a certain
type of girl, and obviously,

she looks like sh-she's
a little bit different to that.

There's obviously a reason why the
experts have matched me with her.

So, there's definitely positives,
like, being kind, caring,

that's important to me.

And I really want to get
to know her more.

So...good day?

Yeah, I've had a really good day,
have you?

Yeah, good, thank you. Good.

You've given me really good vibes.

When I saw you at the altar,
I was like, "OK, we're good."

I think you're very attractive,

and I think you need
that attraction.

Yeah, it's important. Absolutely.

What do you think about me?
Yeah, yeah, like...

I feel like you're lovely.

Obviously we've been, like,
matched for a reason.

Yeah. And I'm ready to get
to know you, and have a good time.

Me, too. I said that I wanted to
meet someone that was nice,

I'm happy that you seem lovely.

I want to see it through,

and I want to understand
why we've been matched.

Yeah, I really want to work
on this, and, yeah,

hopefully we can fall in love.

Yeah.

I think he's really sweet
and really genuine.

But, I don't know, I feel like
maybe he wasn't expecting me

to be walking down the aisle.

Do you think you're ready for,
like, a big commitment now?

Yeah, like, I got hurt, and then,
it took me a while to get over that.

I was living with
my ex-girlfriend in LA,

and she cheated on me, basically.

And people would've known her -
she was a model, basically.

It just kind of makes me worry
because she was a model,

and I've never been a model,

so I feel like maybe
the pressure's on a bit.

Kind of really want to impress him,

but I just hope
I'm good enough for him.

Bianca seems really, really lovely.

But at the moment, I don't have
those romantic feelings towards her.

I definitely want to work on that,
but that would be,

if I'm being honest, my concern.

How have you found today.
Yeah, good. Yeah?

How have you found it.

It's been crazy, but really good.

I think our families got on.

They gelled, didn't they?
They did.

What was that like for you,
growing up?

Was it just you and you mum.

Yeah, just me, my mum,
and my sister.

My mum means a lot to me,
and, like...

It was just us growing up...

I mean, my childhood was a bit
all over the place,

So was mine... Probably why
I didn't do well at school.

Me too, don't worry.
Me too. Yeah?

That's what I mean,
it's crazy that...

..you know...
It's character-building.

Character-building!
But on a serious note, though,

it's definitely made me the man
I am today. That's good, though.

You haven't grown up with a mum
and dad, and this happy life,

and I've not had that either,

but, because you've come
from a broken home,

it makes you want that so much more.

Is there, like, anything you
want to ask me, or...?

Erm...

..what are you looking for
in a marriage.

I just think I'm at that stage
I don't want to fuck about,

I don't want to have little flings,

I don't want to be doing this,
that, and the next thing.

Like, I want something serious,
and something that's good,

and that'll be able to grow

and someone I can just have, like,
a crazy life with. Yeah.

Now that he wants to know more
about me and asking me questions,

I actually feel a lot better now.

I think, at start of the day,
I was maybe a bit harsh on Jordan,

I was-nit picking at
things about him.

But, now that I've actually spoken
to him, got to know him more,

I do think we have a lot in common
and we share the same values.

We're really close with
our families,

and I do think we can learn
a lot from each other.

I think all the signs
are there for, hopefully,

the start of a really nice journey.
I hope so.

And I hope you've had a nice day.
I have, have you?

Yeah, I really have. Yeah?

My day started to go really well,
when I turned around and saw you.

Yeah? Yeah.

A good day, with just a good kiss,
as well. Yeah?

SHE GIGGLES

It's definitely important for me
that someone understands

the way I was bought up.

Initially, there was that spark,
there was that attraction,

and I'm feeling a lot more
confident about what's to come.

The signs are all good.

The vibe has definitely got
stronger as the day has gone on,

and it feels like we've known
each other a long time.

I feel like I've found what
I've been missing.

Next time...

CORK POPS LOUDLY

Holy shit!

..whilst the honeymoon brings
Erica and Jordan closer...

My life has peaked.

..Bianca and JJ drift further apart.

I'm compromising a lot for you.

It's still gotta be baby steps.

When do those tiny steps
move forward?

Everything's his terms
at the minute,

and I'm like, "No."

Back home, Intimacy Week sees
progress for some.

Let's go have rampant sex. Yeehaw!
SHE LAUGHS

But a word of warning...

If you don't call out behaviour,

it will continue.

..sparks concern for Shona.

I feel like I'll just never
compare to the universe.

Nothing's more
than the universe to me.

Nothing.
