They made it all the way to Final Vows, where they declared their commitment to each other beyond the experiment.

Wedding Day

Jamie and Dave hit it off immediately – even before they officially met at the end of the aisle.

All it took was one glance at her groom for Jamie to declare "is that a neck tat?!"

"Yes!" she excitedly yelled, to immediate laughs from all their guests.

"Sold, sold, sold," she insisted.

The positive reaction was mutual, as Dave thought she was "stunning" and her quirky energy immediately made him feel comfortable.

Those positive impressions only grew once they shared their vows.

Wedding Day

During her vows, Jamie said she was "genuinely shocked" to learn the experts had found her a match.

"Either they found someone as crazy as I am or there's a nice guy out there about to get the shock of his life," she joked.

"I promise to share my true self, with all my quirks – and there are a lot of them – and imperfections, and embrace yours with an open heart."

Dave vowed to be honest with his feelings, make his wife feel seen and heard and be her biggest supporter.

"I love life and I can't wait to share it with you," he said.

As they were declared husband and wife, Dave said he felt "zero reservations" about moving forward in marriage with Jamie.

It's safe to say, Jamie felt the same! "The experts deserve a bloody raise," she said with a smile.

Wedding Day

During their reception, Dave used his wedding speech to open up about two very important people missing from their wedding day – his dad and stepmum.

"I've been alongside my dad helping with his fight with cancer for the past four since his diagnosis," he emotionally shared.

"With dad not being here today, I realise even more how important he is."

Jamie was touched that he'd shared news of his dad's illness with her.

"The fact you've taken time away from your dad, and you think I'm worthy of that time, is so special," Jamie told him.

Jamie and Dave take their relationship to the next level

After a stunning honeymoon to the Whitsundays and moving into their MAFS apartment together, Jamie and Dave ticked off a major milestone during Confessions Week.

"To quote Jersey Shore, Dave and I smooshed," she said with a smile.

In classic Jamie style, she explained she was initially worried about logistics given their height difference.

"But it is what they say, you are the same height laying down," she laughed.

Jamie and Dave become the experiment's golden couple

As the early weeks of the experiment went on, Jamie and Dave went from strength-to-strength.

Their united front and fun, playful vibe got them through multiple Commitment Ceremonies completely unscathed – and we know that in the MAFS experiment, that's no easy feat!

The Retreat

Things went so well that at the Couples' Retreat, Jamie revealed she'd told Dave 'I love you' after just six weeks.

"I covered his mouth and said 'don't say anything', I'm going to say this and I'm going to bed," Jamie recounted to fellow brides Beth and Veronica.

While Jamie decided to be open and honest about how she felt, Dave didn't say it back.

At first, she wasn't too worried – but then came the following week's Partner Swap...

The Partner Swap task raises some concerns

Jamie spent the Partner Swap with Adrian, whose brutal honesty left her questioning her relationship.

During the Honesty Letter task, Jamie revealed she was always the one to initiate intimacy with Dave, which confused her.

"I'm going to give you some hard truths," Adrian responded.

He thought that Dave is either attempting to keep her at arms length or is simply not attracted to her.

The next day, Adrian reiterated his point by admitting he did not see Jamie and Dave lasting beyond the experiment.

It wasn't that he questioned their connection, but he thought they were just too different and Dave was holding back.

With the Partner Swap over, Jamie confronted Dave over her concerns – and was unfortunately only left with more.

During their discussions, Dave explained that sex wasn't that important to him in a relationship.

However, as Jamie dug a little deeper it was clear the issue was about more than just intimacy.

"You said you loved me six weeks into this," Dave said.

"I'm not there. I'm not there."

Jamie is devastated by Dave's lack of feelings

The next morning, Dave admitted his feelings had come to a standstill.

Jamie was devastated by the unemotional way he revealed this information, and also furious that it took her opening up for him to admit how he truly felt.

She ordered him out of their apartment before bursting into tears.

"Who is that person? He didn't even care... that's not the person I know," she reacted, bawling.

"What the f--k is wrong with him? That's disgusting, I don't want to spend anymore time in this experiment with someone like that.

"He's worst than any of the others as he's lied to me the whole time and pretended to be someone he's clearly not."

A producer asked Dave about his feelings for Jamie, prompting an unusual reply.

"Oh, look, I don't hate her guts, I don't hate Jamie," he replied.

He later shared the same sentiment to the other men, telling them at the cocktail hour "I don't hate the girl".
