Welcome to Season 10 of Married At First Sight!
Yep that's right, 10, we've been doing this for almost a decade and somehow it just gets better and better. Every. Single. Time.

Buckle up as 20 brides and grooms embark on what will no doubt be an emotional rollercoaster. Will wine glasses be smashed? Will we get a Martha and Michael worthy happy ending? Only time will tell, but for now, all we know is there's going to be a big scandal at one of the first weddings.
The hens' and bucks' night
There's a long roll call so we'll just introduce you to the stand out talent.
Lyndall is the first bride to rock up to the hens' night and being here means more to her than most.
"I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, I think, when I was three-weeks-old," Lyndall reveals.
For most of her life, Lyndall thought she'd only live until her 30s but following the approval of a new drug, an extra forty years has been added to her life.
Moments after, we meet Bronte, but her arrival is quickly overshadowed by self-confessed "freak in the sheets" Melissawhose worst nightmare is a man that is "vanilla" in the bedroom. We can only hope Melissa's future groom is up to the challenge.
Melissa greets just about every bride by telling them openly: "I wanna bang my husband on the first night."
And while most of them think that's more power to Melissa, things go down like a lead-balloon when "super successful" CEO Melinda says she wants to wait it out with her husband.

'Freaky' Melissa is absolutely shocked by the idea that a woman like Melinda won't sleep with her husband on the first night and Melinda is, understandably, offended.
"I was just waiting for the conversation to be over," Melinda later tells cameras and honestly, same.
Over at the bucks' night we meet heavy metal rocker Jesse who says that people think he's "cocky and arrogant" but he doesn't really get why.
He then proceeds to bag out a third of Australian women by deeming "pumped up lips" and "long eyelashes" as turn offs. Jesse also has a zero-tolerance policy for wine snobs but as someone who loves a yellow ticketed savvy b, I decide that's a fair call.
Next up is Duncan and he's the kind of guy we'd all swipe right for. Even Jesse – with his endless list of deal breakers – can't fault Duncan.
"How's his jaw, my god," Jesse gawks. "You could crack a beer open on his jaw, it's that chiselled."
The grooms arrive in droves and soon start swapping heartwarming stories about their hopes for a happy marriage, but the D&Ms are quickly broken up by the arrival of Harrison.
From his montage – which mostly includes slow-motion footage of him lifting up timber slats and close ups of his biceps – we gather that he's is a builder.
The chippy promises that "if you find a better guy, he'll beat him by 10 per cent". I'm giving Harrison the award for smooth talker of the season already.
The experts enter to hype up the brides and grooms for married life. And with that – you guessed it – it's time for our first two weddings.
Lyndall and Cameron's Wedding
Lyndall and Cameron are both adventurous souls ready to start a new chapter in their lives and the experts think it's one the pair should start together.
For accountant Lyndall, 27, her new chapter begins as she throws herself into a relationship without fear for the first time in her life after a miracle drug has given her a new lease on life.
Cameron, also 27, is a carpenter who works in remote Northern Territory. He admits that he's never been in a relationship before and says that living "900 kilometres from civilisation" has made it hard to meet girls.
It's all butterflies and giggles as Lyndall and Cameron meet at the altar. That's tick number one for the experts.
Cameron decides that reading his vows in front of a room of people he's just met is the perfect time to tell Lyndall about his "21-week-old little boy called Bodie".
The wedding guests – Lyndall's parents included – hold their breath until Cameron reveals Bodie is in fact his cattle dog. Well played Cameron, well played.
"I'm stoked, completely stoked, looks lovely, very sweet. I'm so relieved, he's beautiful," Lyndall gushes.
Country boy Cameron is just as blown away by Lyndall and says, "It feels like I've already known her for years."
The pair discover they have plenty in common including a love for red Thai curry and country music.

Everything is going swimmingly, which is exactly why Lyndall "doesn't want to give Cameron any reason not to trust her".
So she decides to take him away from the wedding to tell him about her cystic fibrosis.
"I'm just nervous that he might not understand," Lyndall worries.
As soon as Lyndall says the words cystic fibrosis, Cameron's ears prick up.
Cameron's life has been personally touched by cystic fibrosis and he tells her the heartbreaking story of a friend who passed away after suffering with the chronic illness.
"It took a lot of courage for her [Lyndall] to sit down and tell me that and I respect every part of it," Cameron says.
"I'm stoked that she's got this second chance at life and I'm happy that I'm going to be there for her."
Just when we thought this moment couldn't get any more magical, the newlyweds share a kiss and I can already feel the chemistry through the TV.

The experts try to convince us that Harrison's self-assuredness is just a "defence mechanism". Strip away all that bravado and the father-of-one is just a sensitive guy looking for a woman who shares the same "old-school" values as him.
Cue Bronte, 28, who is "all about that old school romance" and wants the same kind of love as her parents, who've been married for more than 30 years.
Harrison wants to put his best foot forward on his wedding day and prepares for it by putting on his James Bond inspired suit and spraying enough cologne to trigger an asthma attack.
During their wedding ceremony Bronte and Harrison exchange a lot of compliments and flirtatious glances. The attraction is definitely there for these two.
While Bronte is on cloud nine, her friend Jess already knows there's something not quite right about Harrison.
"As soon as I saw Harrison my heart just sank for Bronte," Jess tells cameras.
"Because I knew that I recognised him and that he was the person I was warned about.
"Harrison is pretending to be someone that he's really not. And I have proof."
Where does she recognise Harrison from? What was she warned about? Who is Harrison pretending to be? What proof!?
Jess lets Bronte enjoy her wedding reception for about five minutes before she drops an absolute bombshell on her.
Jess explains that she has a friend from Sydney who's been telling her she's seeing a guy who's going on MAFS.
"The guy is saying to her how he's going to be with her when he finishes this experiment," Jess explains.
Oh, in case you haven't put two and two together yet, that guy is Harrison.

But Jess has photo evidence to back up her claims. There's photos of Harrison showing this girl how he's packing his bags to head off for the wedding day.
And to add insult to injury, apparently Harrison joked about how funny it would be if he got this girl pregnant before joining the show.
Filled with rage, Bronte storms over and confronts Harrison about the rumours immediately.
And he soon clears up any doubts she has by telling her he was dating not one but "multiple women at a time" in the lead up to their wedding. No Harrison, this is not helping your case.
He makes matters worse by admitting he wishes he was marrying another girl he has a crush on instead of Bronte *facepalm*.
"It's my worst nightmare that something like this would come out and it did," Bronte tears up.
Married At First Sight continues Tuesday to Thursday at 7.30pm and Sunday at 7.00pm on Channel 9 and 9Now. Catch up on every episode of MAFS for free on 9Now.
