Katie and Tim's wedding day
Queenslander Katie is the CEO of restaurants that donate profits to charity, but while her career has been thriving, her love life has not so much.
She had a deep fear of rejection but was hopeful that MAFS could help her find her person.
The experts believed they had done just that with groom Tim, 38. The PE teacher said he was sick of feeling like nice guys finish last.
He wanted a natural-looking woman who is confident in herself and who he could share a laugh with.
