Married At First Sight bride Gia Fleur has revealed a surprising aspect about the Channel 9 show that viewers might not be aware of.
It seems like a lifetime ago that the hopeful brides and grooms from the 2026 season walked down the aisle to meet their partner.
While each ceremony seems tailored to each couple, the 35-year-old shared that she had very little involvement in the planning.
She posted a message to those thinking of applying for next season.
“Let me give you this little piece of advice – a little tip – you don’t get to choose your wedding dress,” she said.

“I wouldn’t have chosen the wedding dress [I had]. I wanted something a bit more figure-forming.
“But anyway, they wanted me to cover my tattoos.”
For her wedding, Gia donned a slim, fitted dress by European designers Milla Nova.
It featured a plunging neckline and thigh-high split, which exposed her garter.
The look also featured a high-neck, long-sleeved bridal capelet that draped elegantly over the shoulders, a tiara, and bouquet of lilies.

Unfortunately, while walking down the aisle, the dress didn’t do Gia any favours as she suffered a wardrobe malfunction when a gust of wind lifted it up.
Gia also claimed the couples don’t have a say in the location of the wedding.
She explained that since her wedding ceremony was on the beach, she would’ve preferred a more appropriate “beach-style dress.”
The 35-year-old also wasn’t happy when she arrived at the ceremony as she was forced to take off her high heels due to the sand.
During the show, Gia was married to Scott McCristal, from Queensland, but the pair are no longer together.
Now that the experiment is over, Gia will be returning to her job as a home renovator, which is a new career for the 35-year-old as she entered the show as a disability support worker.
“People don’t know this about me but I’ve flipped six houses,” the mother-of-one told New Idea.
“I’m a property investor, and I’m currently looking for another house to flip.”
She said her daughter, Willa, loves to help her renovate the properties, adding that the nine-year-old has helped her put in carpets and paint walls.
While she has regretted her time on MAFS, the experience hasn’t completely deterred her from being on reality TV again.
Moving into the property industry has inspired her to being open to appearing on The Block.
Gia said the Channel 9 renovation show would be at the “top of her list” if she was set to step in front of the cameras again.
