A fresh group of hopeful singles take their final steps toward marrying complete strangers. The experts pair gentle souls Rachel and Steven in a warm, laughter-filled ceremony, while fiery Alissa is matched with calm, faith-driven David.

The weddings erupt into chaos when Luke forgets the rings, leaving Mel struggling to move past a rocky start. Meanwhile, Gia and Scott face their own emotional hurdle when Gia worries that a big secret could send Scott running.

The honeymoons highlight stark contrasts as Gia and Scott wake up smitten, while Mel and Luke remain distant. Two new couples enter the experiment, with confident Bec matched with flashy Danny, and sceptical Chris paired with towering model Brook.

Chris is forced to admit that Brook is ticking all of his boxes, while Gia weighs up taking an intimate step with Scott after years of celibacy. Alissa and David make the most of their mountain escape, despite an injury. But elsewhere, cracks deepen.

It's time for the final weddings of the experiment. Stella and Filip quickly discover shared values, but doubts soon surface. And in a MAFS Australia first, Julia enters the experiment not knowing whether she'll be marrying a man or a woman.

After weeks of honeymoons filled with romance, laughter and the occasional clash, the couples return from paradise to face their first major test: the first dinner party.
