Couples ALISSA and DAVID, and RACHEL and STEVEN learn where they’ll be heading for their honeymoons — with snow for ALISSA and DAVID, and wine country in Mudgee for RACHEL and STEVEN. Both couples are excited to toast their new marriages under the stars.
Meanwhile, the Experts reveal the next two matches: MEL and LUKE, and GIA and SCOTT.
First up is LUKE, a humble and hardworking farmer who put love on hold after losing his father to cancer and taking over the family farm. Five years on, he’s ready to find love. His match is MEL, a sweet girl-next-door type searching for the “blue to her pink” — and LUKE certainly brings the blue in spades.
The morning of MEL and LUKE’s wedding begins smoothly, until disaster strikes. Halfway to the ceremony, LUKE realises he’s forgotten the rings. His limo turns back in a frantic dash, while a calm and excited MEL imagines her groom waiting at the altar — unaware he’s racing against time. A chaotic car chase ensues, but MEL arrives first, forced to walk down an empty aisle. Shocked and unimpressed, her disappointment sets the tone for the day.
Despite LUKE’s apologies and heartfelt vows, MEL struggles to move past the rocky start. At the reception, she keeps her distance, eventually seeking advice from her mum. While she tries to take it on board, the damage is done. By night’s end, MEL admits she still can’t let it go, leaving LUKE questioning how long he’ll be paying for one mistake. Their wedding ends on an awkward and sour note.
Bride GIA wakes on her wedding day feeling nervous and craving calm — but that peace is shattered when her loud, high-energy friends arrive with champagne and chaos. Tempers flare, and the friends are swiftly kicked out so GIA can regain control.
Groom SCOTT, meanwhile, arrives excited to meet his bride. After a tense morning, GIA and her man of honour make amends and head to the venue — only for GIA to discover she’s having a beach wedding, triggering another meltdown. But the moment she and SCOTT lock eyes, everything changes. Their chemistry is instant, with laughter, warmth and mutual attraction carrying them through the vows.
At the reception, the connection deepens — but GIA is holding onto a secret. She’s a mum, and terrified that revealing the truth might scare SCOTT away. Before she can find the right moment, her uncle lets it slip to SCOTT’s parents. Forced to come clean, GIA braces for the worst. Instead, SCOTT surprises her, embracing the news and welcoming the idea of becoming a stepdad. Both are left hopeful, smitten, and believing they may have found something truly special.
