The series kicks off as the first two couples take the huge leap and marry a complete stranger.

Sales manager Emma, 31, from Bristol is paired with head gardener Caspar from the New Forest.

After a nervous wait for his new bride, Caspar finally met Emma, but he was left lost for words after she reminded him of someone.

Despite appearing to hit it off, Caspar was quick to compare his new bride to his sister.

Speaking to the camera after the ceremony, Caspar said: "Emma is full of energy, big smile, really big laugh, beautiful dazzling woman....but if I'm being completely honest, she very much reminds me of my sister."

Emma also shared her thoughts on her new partner, saying: "At the beginning of the day, I had preconceptions, blue suit, a bit of stubble, he's got these lovely brown eyes - he's pretty much ticked every box that I asked for."

At the aisle, Emma tried to reassure her new husband-to-be that they were a good match - telling him "we've got this".

But Caspar was concerned about the striking resemblance Emma and his sister shared - while the pair also appeared to mirror each other's mannerisms - including their similar cackle.

Emma continued to praise Caspar saying he was "fabulous and gorgeous", but it appeared that she was a bigger a hit with his family, than her new husband.

The bubbly blonde told the experts that she is looking for someone who shares the same interests as her which include wild swimming, climbing mountains, competing in triathlons and conquering the slopes of Courchevel.

She is also a keen baker and often hosts her own dinner parties.

Speaking about what she is looking for in a partner, she says she wants someone who can provide her with "intellectual stimulation and someone who is passionate and ambitious."

While Caspar has been unlucky in love and has admitted to never experiencing a serious relationship.

The 34-year-old gardener has said that he’s never felt ready to find love and puts much of this down to his lack of confidence.

While Caspar enjoys a quiet life, he now feels it’s time to step out of his comfort zone and give himself the chance of meeting a wife as a contestant on Married At First Sight 2024.

Caspar has revealed that "The worst thing I've ever done in a relationship is being too clingy and scared them away, rather than giving them space to learn to love me".

And that his "biggest deal-breaker" is "you've got to like dogs".
