The Commitment Ceremony bombshell that Sierah and Adrian opened up to each other rather than their partners has rocked Billy, who has spent the night away from his wife.
Meanwhile, Awhina tells Adrian she’s also hurt by the situation because Adrian had not opened up to her yet either.
As the rest of the group unpack their confusion about Jacqui and Ryan’s relationship, Ryan is feeling optimistic about their future.
But Jacqui isn’t so sure, and she’s written a rap sheet of all the things that have disappointed her in the relationship so far.
”When you dropped me at our wedding, I did hit my head and it hurt me that you didn’t find out I went to a paramedic until a week later when I told you,” she begins, emotional.
Ryan’s other discretions include the ‘crazy eyes’ comment, taking three weeks to buy her flowers and not paying for breakfast. And the Photo Ranking, of course.
Ryan is not happy. “Who do you think you are?” he says, saying he has no trust in her anymore.
Meanwhile, it seems Jacqui has looked for advice elsewhere.
Jeff tells his wife Rhi that Jacqui’s messaged him to meet up, without Rhi there. Both of them are very confused and Rhi feels disrespected.

As they spend the morning pondering whether Jacqui thinks Jeff is hot or just wants a male perspective, the couples get a special envelope under the door. Whip out your suits, strap on those heels – it’s time for another wedding!
Beth and Teejay’s wedding
Beth is, in her own words, “single as f–k” and is now preparing for like her first-ever relationship to be with a stranger she meets at the aisle.
The 28-year-old is originally from the North of England but she’s lived in Australia for 15 years. More specifically, she’s lived at her parents house – as shown by them accidentally crashing her intro interview.
She’s ready to leave the nest and find someone to have a family of her own with.
Here’s hoping that someone is Teejay, who is also 28, also from Brisbane and also loves his family! They have so much in common already!
He wants a partner to have fun with, and judging my Beth’s accidental “I’m dry” faux pas, we think he’ll be very pleased with his match.
As he arrives at the aisle, a nervous Teejay is greeted by a dozen friendly faces. Well, they’re friendly to us. He doesn’t know them from a bar of soap, but he will soon.
He turns to see Beth and can’t help uttering a “wow”.
Even the rest of the participants can feel the sparks flying off them.
Their vows bring happy tears, cuddles and a rude awakening for Jacqui who feels like her vows from Ryan weren’t quite as meaningful.

As she tells Ryan this, he becomes unhappy.
“I’ll tell you something right now. When I walked into that ceremony, I was absolutely enchanted with these two people who have come together,” Ryan reflects, but hearing his wife’s perspective has made him feel hurt.
“That was the last f–king straw for me,” he fumes.
Beth and Teejay head off for their photoshoot, completely unaware that their very lovely but pretty standard vows have caused such carnage.
As the group settle in for the reception, Ryan tells Jacqui he’s disgusted in her and Billy and Sierah, Jamie and Dave and Rhi and Jeff have a front row seat.
Ryan tells the table about Jacqui’s comments after the ceremony and the rap sheet, and they are… somewhat confused.
Oh yeah, we forgot this is someone else’s wedding!
Beth and Teejay arrive at their reception in good spirits. Beth is surprised by how instant their connection feels and Teejay can’t wait to dive deeper.
Billy toasts to their arrival into the experiment and Ryan, who definitely knows what he’s doing, compliments Teejay’s vows.
At this point, Jeff puts on his best John Aiken impression, while Billy takes a dual role of Mel and Alessandra.
They need to get to the bottom of things. Do Jacqui and Ryan even like each other?
“Not right now,” Ryan says.
Meanwhile Jacqui replies “I do like Ryan”.

Rhi, who has been very quiet up until this point, is ready to drop a bombshell.
“Jacqui, if you like Ryan so much, why would you message Jeff behind my back?” she casually asks.
This is news to everyone, especially Ryan.
“Excuse me?” he replies.
”Oh no, I don’t want to be here,” Jamie reacts, covering her face.
And to think, there’s a second table of participants on the other side of the room where the conversation is likely being dominated by Morena’s affirmations and Tony’s favourite fishing spots.
Back at the table, Jacqui becomes visibly upset and confirms she only reached out to Jeff for another male opinion on her marriage.
“I just want to know, why Jeff?” Jamie asks.
Jacqui doesn’t answer, but Ryan starts to string together different moments in his mind.
“I remember initially Jacqui said that Jeff was probably the most suitable match for her,” he recalls, before claiming Jacqui asked him for Jeff’s number for an entirely different reason.

Eventually, Jacqui gets up and leaves the table and Rhi is seeing red over what she feels is “deflection”.
AH WOOPS, I once again forgot we were at a new couple’s wedding. How are Beth and Teejay doing?!
They’ve momentarily left their absolutely bonkers reception to connect in private, in what appears to be the Friends set.
Beth takes the opportunity to reveal she has never been in a relationship before, which she worries he’ll think is a red flag.
Thankfully, he does not!
“She’s not had a boyfriend but now she’s got a husband. She’s skipped all the BS and now we’re here,” he says, flashing his ring to the camera.
After a snog, they return in time for Teejay’s dad’s speech. And thank goodness, because what a man.
“May all your ups and downs be between the bed sheets,” he declares.
The newlyweds are on cloud nine, as are the happy couples watching on.
The unhappy ones… however…
Well, Teejay successfully dipping Beth during their first dance is salt in the wound for Jacqui and Ryan.
As Ryan tells Jacqui he feels betrayed by her texting Jeff, she becomes upset and just wants a hug.
Though Ryan has been insisting the day is not about them, attention is very much only in their direction.
Even Beth and Teejay watch gobsmacked from the wedding party table.
Awhina pulls them aside to try and keep the spectacle contained.
Before we know it, the argument is over and Jacqui returns to the table.
We’ll have to wait and see how things pan out for the couple.
Well, it was an intruder wedding for the ages, and not just because we have a lot of hope in Beth and Teejay’s connection!
Tomorrow, we’ve got more weddings to attend… and this time, they’ll feature some very familiar faces. See you there!
Married At First Sight airs Sunday at 7pm and Monday to Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
