On the last morning of the experiment, Jade and Ridge confirmed just how strong they are as they watched their wedding video back for the first time.

Jade instantly became emotional seeing the moment they met. "It made me realise how far Ridge and I have come, from being complete strangers to where we are today," she said.

Ridge also got "choked up" as the video brought back all the feelings from their big day.

"It definitely hit me in the feels. It was such a special day and it was a day we will remember for the rest of our lives," Ridge told Jade ahead of Final Vows.

"I want this to last babe, I really do.

"I don't want to have to imagine a life without you and that's why I want to do everything I can to make it work."

Jade and Ridge spent time apart before Final Vows to gather their thoughts and advice from friends and family.

In Sydney, Ridge met up with his best mate, and you can tell how much progress had been made by the fact that not once "deece" was uttered as they discussed how happy Ridge was.

In Queensland, Jade told her mum she could see a future with Ridge.

"His personality, the affection, the playfulness, everything," she explained.

"He has made me feel like the most important person in his life."

But Jade's mum warned her that while everything was "sunshine and roses now", but questioned if Ridge was ready to "walk into a family".

"I just feel like you don't know until it's put to the test," Jade replied.

On the morning of Final Vows, Ridge was feeling very confident in his decision.

"Jade's got everything that I've ever asked for in a partner. I asked for it from the experts and they gave it to me, I thank them for my dream girl," he said.

Jade had a similar outlook but asking speaking to her mother, she was also concerned about whether Ridge was ready to be a good father figure to V.

They met on Sydney Harbour and despite their mutual nerves, couldn't help but smile when they saw each other.

"Hey gorgeous," Ridge greeted Jade, who walked down a long aisle dressed in a stunning backless white dress.

Then it was finally time for him to recite his Final Vows.

Ridge's Final Vows:

"Jade, I firstly want to thank you for coming along this wild journey with me. It's crazy to think how much we've grown as individuals and together since the day you met the king of the jungle at Taronga Zoo all those weeks ago.

"Standing at the end of the aisle waiting for you, my palms were sweaty, I felt hot and this is probably the most nervous I've felt in my life.

"When I turned to face you, I thought you're gorgeous and I just might give you the chance to get to know the real me.

"As we go to the later stages of the experiment, it became obvious to me that I would have to be the one to uproot my entire life to make this relationship work. I would have to give up my job, move away from my friends and family and leave the only city I've ever called home, which is obviously a lot for me.

"It did make me question if I did really want to leave at all for a girl I met just nine weeks ago."

Ridge's Final Vows:

"Jade in the time we've spent together, you've managed to bring out an even better version of myself, one I wasn't even sure existed. You've helped me mature from a boys' boy to the type of man I hope you'd be proud to have not just in your life but in V's too.

"You've shown me what it truly means to be vulnerable to open up and to allow someone to make me feel something serious for the first time in my life.

"I remember in your friend's wedding speech she said you needed someone who'd be obsessed with you. When I first heard it, I straightaway thought, 'Well she isn't going to be the one for me because I'd never be like that.

"But I can say this from my heart, that I'm 100 per cent obsessed with you.
