Married At First Sight filmed its first ‘wedding’ ceremony for the upcoming sixth season in Sydney’s Centennial Park last week.
And on Wednesday, another couple were spotted saying ‘I do’ during an idyllic beach ceremony in Byron Bay, New South Wales.
In exclusive pictures obtained by Daily Mail Australia, the bubbly bride couldn’t wipe the smile off her face after meeting her tall, handsome suitor at the altar.
Married At First Sight EXCLUSIVE: Radio presenter Heidi Latcham ‘wed’ a handsome mystery man during a beach ceremony in Byron Bay, New South Wales on Wednesday
Meeting as complete strangers, the two singletons laughed awkwardly in front of the family and friends before sharing a passionate kiss.
The bride, who has been identified as Townsville radio presenter Heidi Latcham, was seen walking through the sand in a pair of white high heels before her ‘wedding’.
She looked simply radiant in a strapless, knee-length dress with a long veil train, and walked purposefully despite her rather impractical footwear.

Heidi has seemingly ended her hosting duties on Star 106.3’s breakfast program alongside Brady Ellis in order to accommodate the MAFS filming schedule.
And while the media personality’s Instagram profile was once public, it has since been changed to private – perhaps at the request of producers.
She appeared full of excitement on her wedding day and was seen laughing off the understandable awkwardness of the ceremony.

Married At First Sight first launched in Australia in 2015. Back then, the show featured just four couples and had only six episodes.
Since then, it has become one of the most popular programs on Australian TV – with season five featuring 11 couples and 32 episodes.
Despite the show failing to create many long-lasting relationships, the consistent controversies have resulted in sky-high ratings for Channel Nine.
Over two million people watch the MAFS season five finale earlier this year.
