Anyone else watching this madness?!

I like Adam's comments about going on an "adventure" with Caroline. He seems very level-headed, not putting to much pressure on, more like seeing where it goes.
Having said that, they do seem remarkably compatible - the most compatible I've seen in both series.
Also wondering about last week's couple - will cracks begin to show?
I'm addicted!

Not sure I would be happy if my husband chose a female best man..

ShyOyster · 25/10/2016 22:50

A HOT female best man.
But then again I don't really believe in entirely platonic friendship between heterosexual people of opposite sexes cynical me

Tableforjuan · 25/10/2016 23:11

I thought that (David Cameron) Adam's best woman was secretly in love with him, though she did seem genuinely happy afterwards.

HyperStripe · 25/10/2016 23:17

Sorry but adam is revolting (looks wise). Caroline is far hotter than him and she knows it! He seems really sweet though so fingers crossed Caroline isn't as shallow as me :D

ImperialBlether · 25/10/2016 23:20

Adam looked too much like David Cameron for my liking. The redheaded woman was lovely. Both seemed willing to really go for it.

I don't think the marriage is legal. You have to register the wedding - how would they do that when they don't even know each other's name?

GCHQMonitoring · 25/10/2016 23:48

I have my doubts about the legality too. Having watched it again, I still don't understand why anybody would want to leave finding a partner up to experts, or getting marriec without meeting. At least with arranged marriages the families are usually involved

LoisWooookersonsLastNerve · 26/10/2016 00:09

I really like Adam and Caroline. I loved her dress.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 26/10/2016 01:00

He wasn't revolting,what an awful thing to say and so untrueShock might not be your type but not revolting at all!

Wrt civil ceremony- 20 questions, is that a new thing?

And registering the wedding, do you mean the bands before hand? I presumed that why they waited 6 weeks to get married.

It must be legal, that's the whole point of it!

Did anyone notice bearded counselor man is matched with someone who looks like his mum?!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 26/10/2016 01:01

Bans or bands? Confused you know what I mean!

Frazzled2207 · 26/10/2016 07:50

20 questions, slight exaggeration but you have to go and give notice of marriage and they ask you for groom's full name and address and vv.

Naicehamshop · 26/10/2016 08:44

Dame - definitely thought that about bearded counsellor matched with someone who looks like his mum! Interesting!

Think the last 2 women (Caroline and Sara?) are hotter than the men they are matched with. The very first couple possibly the other way round??
(Not sure if this matters or not!)

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 26/10/2016 09:08

frazzled- honestly can't remember dh doing that when we got married! We gave notice but dh didn't do anything I did all the paperwork as he was working loads at that time.

LizzieMacQueen · 26/10/2016 09:28

It seemed a bit silly of the programme makers to feature two similar girls in a more mixed up show. I mean for ep 1 they solely featured one couple and now there's two with the blokes sharing the same name and the girls looking quite similar. Concentrate, concentrate......

I think the Adam (counsellor) and Sara will make a good match although there was a fleeting moment in the show last night that had me wondering if he might be gay.

ssd · 26/10/2016 15:41

I cant believe upthread someone said Adam was revolting, how nasty Shock

I thought he was lovely, very nervous but who wouldnt be.

fingers crossed for those two.

RedMapleLeaf · 26/10/2016 17:02

I was surprised at how close Clark and Melissa (couple no. 1) were the morning after their wedding. Very touchy-feely.

squoosh · 26/10/2016 17:08

I presumed Clark and Melissa had had sex. I got the feeling that Melissa is quite strait laced and would not be the sort to have sex with someone a few hours after meeting them. Unless she'd just married him of course!

David Cameron was most chivalrous with his suggestion they go to sleep.

garlicandsapphire · 26/10/2016 17:17

I've watched all of them 1st UK one and the Aussie and US ones. Really enjoy it but I sort of think by getting married they miss out on the organic development and fun of a relationship that becomes serious. But they say its harder now for young people to meet someone so why not?

BTW I was my male friends best man. Someone asked him why and he said 'because she's my best friend.' We still are very good friends - and never had a dalliance of any kind.

LoisWooookersonsLastNerve · 26/10/2016 17:50

The female best man wouldn't bother me as long as I knew about it, I did wonder if nobody knew because the bridesmaids looked a bit annoyed when they came in and sat down. I've had good friends of the opposite sex too without being interested in them.

228agreenend · 26/10/2016 20:14

Watched this for the first time last night. Thought both Adam and Caroline were delightful, apart from Adam's superhero collection. I did wonder about the logistics of it all. Ie. Where they live etc. Didn't the second couple both live in London? I thought that was a little too convenient.

Did you see Adam's mum through the speeches. Her body language and face suggested she didn't look too happy.

hollyisalovelyname · 26/10/2016 20:55

I thought the first couple looked fab.
Her dress was beautiful amazing.
She is teeny, tiny compared with him.
I hope we get an update.
I didn't like the Vera Wang pale grey dress. It looked like you'd left a black sock in a 'whites wash'.
I hope the 2 nd couple work out. He seems nice

MrsLogicFromViz · 28/10/2016 08:09

Me and DH are gripped too. Agree about the pale grey Vera Wang wedding dress Hmm

Channel 4 must foot the bill for the divorces, if necessary after the alotted twelve month period. "Reason: Unreasonable Behaviour - appeared on primetime TV entertainment show with a free wedding as an incentive to marry a complete stranger."

I luvs it though: more please! Smile

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 28/10/2016 08:16

They are all put up in flats for the 5 weeks they are together.

Rrross1ges · 28/10/2016 08:20

because the bridesmaids looked a bit annoyed

Maybe they were upset because the best woman had a much better dress.

LoisWooookersonsLastNerve · 28/10/2016 15:43

I liked the grey dress but yes the red one was nicer Grin
