“Untraditional” Nicole has been matched with long-term love-seeking Christopher. It sounds like Chris is all the way ready for love and hopefully, Nicole will match that energy throughout their marriage.

Nicole, 32

Since she is exceptionally close with her parents, Nicole has always hoped they would find “the one” for her and set her up. However, since they have been unreliable in that sense, she is ready to put her love life in the hands of the experts. Nicole is the perfect candidate for Married At First Sight because she is an untraditional gal who is excited about the idea of an arranged marriage.

Christopher, 36

Since moving to Nashville, Christopher has not been able to make a meaningful connection. He has gone on a handful of dates but often finds women aren’t looking for something long-term. Married At First Sight is an intriguing process to him because he is confident the women involved are just as ready for marriage as he is. Christopher is excited about the next chapter and hopes the experts can help him find his one true love.

Like a number of people, Domynique’s been unlucky in finding a potential partner on dating apps and on the bar scene. Hopefully, Mackinley can change that for her, although it sounds like he’s bringing some baggage.

Domynique, 25

Although Domynique hasn’t had many long-term relationships, she is confident she is ready for marriage. When she does date, it is with the intention of settling down and finding something meaningful. Unfortunately, the bar scene and dating apps are not working out for her as she doubts that is where she’ll meet her perfect match. Married At First Sight seems like the answer to her prayers; Domynique is excited to find out if her soulmate is in the mix.

Mackinley, 33

Mackinley’s most recent relationship left him blindsided. Since then, he has had trust issues. His fear of getting hurt again has caused him to put a wall up and he’s tired of not feeling like he can fully open up to women. Mackinley is ready to put himself back out there and is hopeful he’ll find love through the Married At First Sight process. He finds the experts comforting and believes that their help and guidance are exactly what he needs to get out of his own way.

Family has always been very important to Clint and he would love to have children of his own. Now that he is 40 and still has not found the one, he knows he has to try a different approach. A lifelong learner, Clint believes that to have anything done right, you have to learn and listen to experts.
