The brides:

Alissa

Age: 33
From: South Australia
Occupation: Nurse / Social Media Manager

As a nurse for 12 years, Alissa wears her heart on her sleeve. Although she never expected to be dating again after her six-year relationship ended last year.

Instagram: @alissafay_

She doesn't believe in a "perfect man" but is ready to commit to someone who wants the same future she does. So, she's looking for love on national TV with her thousands of online followers backing her.

With 28.5k followers on Instagram and 267.9K on TikTok, will this nurse find the one to mend her broken heart?

Bec

Age: 35
From: South Australia
Occupation: Account Manager

Voted Adelaide's most eligible bachelorette twice, Bec is yet to be snapped up but was close to it.

Instagram: @bec_zac

Previously engaged, she broke it off four months before the wedding.

It was the hardest thing she's ever done but also her proudest moment, walking away from something that wasn't right.

Will she find Mr Right in the experiment?

Julia

Age: 35
From: Victoria
Occupation: Confidence and Charisma Consultant

Julia is a spiritual dreamer who stands out from the crowd with her constant smile and array of colourful outfits.

As a bisexual, she is open to dating both men and women as long as they have "it", that secret sauce you feel straight away and just know you share something special. 

Instagram: @juliavogl_

Julia has had four serious relationships, three with women and one with a man. The question remains: who will be waiting for her at the end of the aisle?

Gia

Age: 35
From: Victoria
Occupation: Disability Support Worker

Gia is a confident bombshell who turns heads everywhere she goes – though rarely for the reasons she wants.

Instagram: @giafleurrr

A long-time relationship girl, Gia was previously married to the father of her child. But now, feels like she keeps attracting the wrong kind of guys.

She's not here to make friends, she's here to find a husband.

Mel

Age: 28
From: New South Wales
Occupation: Communications Specialist

Dreaming of her own fairytale, Mel is ready to settle down but finds that guys her age often don't!

She is looking for a 'blue' man for her 'pink' self, the perfect wedding, the perfect husband and the perfect life.

Brook

Age: 27
From: Queensland
Occupation: Model

Brook is fiercely loyal and loves a good laugh. A strong woman who's honest, thick-skinned and confident but has been unlucky in love.

Instagram: @brookcrompton_

After her fair share of heartbreak and betrayal, Brook is putting all her faith in MAFS to find her perfect match.

A vivacious mum and empty nester who knows it's her time to find love.

Rachel is warm, vibrant and bubbly with a heart of gold. Yet, she hasn't been in a serious relationship for 14 years.

Throughout her dating experiences she has never been with a man who has made her feel enough. Here's hoping she'll find her happily ever after and dream man.

The grooms:

Chris

From: Victoria
Occupation: Construction Supervisor

Once a tradie, now a boss, Chris describes himself as honest, upfront and sometimes controversial for the sake of it.

David

Age: 31
From: Queensland
Occupation: E Commerce Product Manager

A rapper on the side, David's not shy of female attention. Throw in his chiselled physique and charm, he's often misjudged as a playboy.

Instead he's far from a playboy. David is principled, respectful and ready to settle down.

Danny

Age: 34
From: Victoria
Occupation: Real Estate and Businessman

Originally from the UK, Danny describes himself as a soft and cuddly teddy bear hidden underneath his tatts.
