Married at First Sight

In Chicago Illinois, ten singles make the riskiest decision they have ever made; to marry a complete and total stranger. Pre wedding jitters present themselves in different ways. From spilling too much tea to bawling their eyes out, one thing is clear; the risk is worth the reward of everlasting love. But for one nervous bride, the jitters may be too much to bear.

The wedding day continues in the Windy City where 8 more singles prepare to meet their spouses at the altar. As the pressure mounts and the moment of truth approaches, hopes and wishes are pondered as one bride puts her full trust in the Universe, and one groom holds a secret that could doom his marriage.

The final couple finally meet at the altar and then it's time for the wedding receptions to begin! And while some couples are immediately drawn to each other, one bride is quickly overwhelmed, while one groom reveals a secret about his past that could derail his marriage on the first day.

In the morning after the weddings, a myriad of concerns arise amidst the joy of newlywed life, including financial worries, age gaps, and the revelation of a spouse still living at home. During family brunches, unease deepens with a father's request for STI testing and another spouse's pursuit of perfection. But despite doubts about attraction and some hesitations, the journey begins as our couples embark on their honeymoons.

Our ten newlyweds enjoy their honeymoon in the beautiful Mexican Riviera, and begin to explore all aspects of the strangers they just married. As most couples bond over deep conversations and fun activities in paradise, one couple fights to find a connection. Could their marriage be over before they return to Chicago?

As their honeymoon comes to an end, four of the couples look to build on their blossoming marriages while one couple looks to try and put the pieces back together again. Then, back in Chicago, real life hits hard as they settle into their new lives as husband and wife.

The newlyweds are back from paradise and waking up in their new homes with their new spouses--except one. With a little help from the experts, and visits to each other's homes, the couples begin merging their lives and discover more about who this person is that they just married. However, not everyone is pleased with what they're discovering, and one bad home visit could ruin everything.

With our newlyweds settling into everyday life, their housewarming parties provide valuable information for each individual about their new stranger spouses. As one couple sees a way to mend their differences, another creates a rift that could be their undoing.

While two couples must deal with the dramatic aftermath of their housewarming parties, one couple's marriage reaches new levels of intimacy. And while one bride struggles with certain lifestyle differences, another couple finds that simply learning more about each other can help their relationship reach new heights.

After a nasty public argument, one couple makes a last-ditch effort to save their marriage. Meanwhile, our other four pairs delve into the struggles of their past and the aspirations of their shared futures. But with Decision Day looming in just 3 weeks, is there enough time left to solidify their bonds?

For some of the couples a trip down memory lane is in order in hopes of building emotional connections with their spouses. Visits to hometowns and words of wisdom to their past lives create special moments for them to truly see their spouse for who they are. But all is not merry as one couple appears to be on the cusp of destruction while a simple text causes another couple to start to unravel.
