Married at First Sight lived up to its name in the most recent episode from the 10th season, “Here Comes the Stranger.” Three couples made it down the aisle in the special episode.
Katie and Derek, Taylor and Brandon and Jessica and Austin were the three lucky duos who got the anticipation over with first — meanwhile, two more weddings will await viewers next week when Meka and Michael as well as Zach and Mindy say “I do.”
Below, we’re breaking down the second episode’s biggest moments, but beware of major spoilers.
