The series follows a group of singles whose search for love and happily ever after quickly results in getting married to a complete stranger whom they will meet for the first time on their wedding day.

Couples are matched ‘scientifically’ by a panel of experts: Mel Schilling, Paul C Brunson and Charlene Douglas.

The couples meet mere minutes before they get married, once they’ve returned from their nuptials, they live together for a period of time, during which they meet at commitment ceremonies and will choose whether or not they will continue their relationship.

Last year’s couple Owen and Michelle became the first couple to celebrate their first wedding anniversary together.
