Chris, 38, is looking to share his life with someone special.
"It's really important for me that my match is ready to settle down," he said because Chris has two children on the way...
Chris looked very handsome as he stepped out in a three-piece beige suit.
The groom arrived at the experiment with big news – he's about to become a father, twice!
He is expecting one child via a surrogate and another as a donor father to his friends.
"I have been wanting to get married for so long now," said Chris ahead of his big day.
"I'm hoping for someone kind, someone to do life with, someone to start a family with."
Sam looked very charming in his traditional black tux from Calibre suiting.
"I'm getting ready to meet my husband... I'm so lucky to have supportive parents, it makes me so grateful," he said with a tear in his eye.
The pair married in breathtaking Palm Beach at Jonah's Restaurant & Boutique Hotel.
There was a big smile from both the grooms as the pair met for the first time.
Could they be the perfect final match of the season?
"He has a really kind face, he has beautiful kind eyes," Sam gushed.
"I think there's a spark for sure," said Chris. "I'm really obsessed with his eyes, he's really handsome."
MAFS 2026 Chris and Sam's wedding
As the pair began their vows, they soon realised they're practically the same person!
Sam began, "I'm a fitness trainer by trade and I own my own successful fitness studio in Adelaide."
Chris' face lit up.
Sam continued: "When I'm not yelling over music and clients, I'm normally outside camping. There's something about being out in nature that makes me feel whole."
Sam mentioned his perfect night would be cuddling in a swag by the fire...
Then we heard Chris' vows: "Nothing beats a fire under the stars of a night. That's the way to my heart.
"I hope you like the great outdoors... and in the city I run a very successful PT business."
Sam was stunned.
"Are those my vows?" Sam interrupted, gobsmacked.
"I feel like I've stayed in Adelaide for a long time to put my career first, but now I want to focus on this," said Sam this time.
Just as Chris replied: "For a long time, I have thrown myself into my career, but now I'm at a stage in my life where I'm ready to put love first."
"I'm a bit of a romantic, whether it's planning a date... or just bringing you a coffee in bed," Sam smiled.
As you guessed it, Chris read: "I'm ready to enjoy coffees on the veranda, sunsets at the farm, and all the little ordinary moments that turn into something special."
"We have very similar interests, we almost said the same thing," grinned Sam.
The two exchanged rings, sealed the deal with a kiss and were pronounced married!
The good times kept rolling into the reception but Chris was nervous to share his exciting fatherhood news.
"If he doesn't want kids that will be devastating," Chris worried.
"I want him to get to know me first just a little bit then I'll tell him about the children.
"I don't know how he's going to react, it's a huge risk but I'm going to have to do it."
