Married at First Sight got off to an interesting start as the brides and grooms-to-be met up separately for the first time. The hit E4 series returned to TV screens on Monday night (August 29) with a 90-minute special and as ever, the social experiment sees 16 singletons get married having never met each other before.
During the first episode, viewers were introduced to the singles for the first time as they enjoyed their own group hen and stag do's before tying the knot with a stranger.
The couples, who have been matched by experts Melanie Schilling, Paul C. Brunson and Charlene Douglas, will make a lifelong commitment to one another at a glamorous ceremony. Then over the series, which is this year set to run to 30 episodes, viewers will see the pairings getting to know each other as they head off on a honeymoon before moving in together.
