Between opposites who attract and pairs who’ll challenge each other, experts John Aiken, Mel Schilling and Alessandra Rampolla have chosen from thousands of applicants to create couples who they think are the perfect match.
See who they’ve coupled up so far below:
Rebecca and Steve
Rebecca told the experts that she was looking for her “silver fox”, and boy did they deliver.
The 51-year-old empty nester walked down the aisle where 50-year-old Steve stood at the altar waiting, silver hair and all.
”I hope the way today plays out, I meet the love of my life. That’s the dream,” Steve said.

“I want the 50s and beyond to be the best time of my life… I’m ready to fall in love.”
Both with children of their own, Rebecca, one boy and Steve, four girls, the pair instantly hit it off. 
“We stand before one another as strangers, and yet this doesn’t feel like the beginning of something unfamiliar. It feels like the next chapter in what’s been a long, ongoing search for someone who sees me,” Rebecca said in her vows.

The most romantic wedding of the season.
Steve shared that he loves the finer things in life, including “a glass of wine or two or three, or we could just have the bottle”, a statement that went down swimmingly with Rebecca. 
“I can’t believe how happy I am right now,” she said.
Some are calling it the most romantic wedding of the season, so let’s hope these two last the distance. 
Bec and Danny
In one of the more unpredictable weddings of the season, 34-year-old Danny from London was looking for a “ride or die” relationship.
He was matched with energetic bride Bec, 35, who on first impression liked what she saw until Danny’s “ride or die” metaphor went a little too far.
Bec was worried they “wouldn’t work”. (Nine)
“I’m looking for a Bonnie and Clyde type of love… If I ever get locked up in prison, I’d like you to bail me out,” Danny read out his vows.

The line threw Bec off, who sobbed saying she was looking for someone serious, not someone who’s going to “get arrested”.
But Danny assured her he’s here for the right reasons and she realised that maybe judging him so quickly was a little unfair.

The experts were up for quite the challenge when they matched sceptical groom Chris, 31, with model Brook, 27.
Chris brought his relentless positivity to his vows, as he told his new wife he hoped they could be ”the 0.0001 per cent that works from this experiment”.
Could MAFS’ biggest critic be proven wrong? (Nine)
Within just minutes of meeting his bride, he’s thinking they would be.
Brook however was icked out by her husband’s “diva” antics after he complained the whole way through their rainy wedding shoot.

View GalleryMel and Luke
Mel, 28, is a “pink girly” looking for her “blue”, a rugged man to sweep her off her feet and make her feel like a Disney princess.
Farmer Luke, 30, has put his love life on hold for many years following the death of his father. 
His ideal partner is a quietly confident, feminine woman and so far, their wedding was a real-life rom-com in the making, until…
Will Luke and Mel’s love story be a rom-com hit or total flop? (Nine)
Luke forgot the rings at home and left his bride-to-be Mel standing alone at the altar.
But the disaster didn’t stop there.

After his late arrival, Mel was turned off when Luke spat out his gum mid-ceremony and handed it to his sister.
Like Luke’s wedding day arrival, is Mel and Luke’s chemistry just a case of bad timing? Or will things fail to launch between the pair?

Unlike Mel and Luke, our next match is sizzling with undeniable chemistry.
Gia, 35, is a self-proclaimed “catch” who is much more than her blonde hair, implants, bold outfit wearing, tattooed “stereotype”.
Has Gia found the Ken to her Barbie? (Nine)
Scott, 33, is also much more than his gym-going, fast-car-driving persona. 
Their wedding day was everything they imagined, but hidden behind Gia’s smile was a huge personal secret.

She worried that when Scott would find out she has a daughter, the news would change everything.
Despite Gia’s tears and concerns, Scott was completely unfazed. 
Could this be one of the most hopeful matches of the season?
