Married At First Sight: Popular Show Has Been Marrying Strangers For More Than A Decade

Married at First Sight changed the game when the franchise introduced the concept of marrying a stranger at the altar.

These days, you have shows like Love Is Blind, which borrows from the groundwork that Married at First Sight put in, especially in terms of not seeing your potential partner until you are officially engaged. Despite fans calling recent MAFS seasons lackluster and underwhelming, there’s no denying that the show changed the landscape of modern dating shows.

American audiences are used to train wrecks when it comes to Married at First Sight marriages. This is especially true with the last season in Denver. However, when it comes to other countries, couples like Paul Todd and Ally Todd from the UK may have cracked the code in a way that most American singles haven’t.

After their initial wedding was off, Ally convinced Married at First Sight producers to let her meet Paul via Skype. The pair got to talking, and soon realized why the experts matched them in the first place. Not only was this a spark of a connection, but, the pair even welcomed a daughter together in 2021.

Then, on June 8, 2024, more than four years after they had to cancel their initial Married at First Sight wedding, they walked down the aisle to make it official. For anyone cynical about the show or the validity of the matchmaking process, the experts in the UK certainly got it right when they put these two together.
