The summer wedding season may be coming to an end, but for eight excited Married At First Sight UK brides, it’s only just beginning.
The E4 show is back to pair 16 complete strangers with each other, including the show’s first transgender contestant, clinic consultant Ella, 29, and second-time bride Laura, 34, who is a finance manager.
With commitment ceremonies, luxury honeymoons, dramatic dinner parties and partner-stealing to come, this year’s brides joined OK! for an exclusive shoot in their stunning gowns.
Ella, Laura and their co-stars – executive assistant Porscha, 36, florist Rosaline, 28, performing arts teacher Shona, 31, model and childcare assistant Tasha, 25, technology risk partner Peggy, 32, and sales manager Jay, 31 – reunited at a beautiful Peckham chapel to chat about their Married At First Sight journeys, relive their eventful wedding days, and hint at their mystery matches before we tune in to watch them tie the knot!
