Over two million Australians tuned in to watch Married At First Sight’s enthralling season five finale earlier this year.

And die-hard fans had reason to rejoice once again when the show’s highly-anticipated sixth season kicked off filming in Sydney’s Centennial Park last Thursday. 

Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal a look at the first two mystery newlyweds to tie the knot as part of the new season’s premiere episode, which is slated to air early next year.  

Here comes the bride… again! Married At First Sight season six kicked off filming last Thursday in Sydney’s Centennial Park 

Season six’s first newlyweds were a fiery-haired woman clad in a plunging lace bridal gown and a handsome dark-haired hunk wearing a black suit and white tie.

The couple, who would not have met before meeting at the alter, appeared to hit it off right away and were even spotted enjoying a lingering kiss during the festivities. 

Earlier in the day the couple were seen processing down an al fresco wedding aisle, hand-in-hand.

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, MAFS has become one of the most popular programs on Australian TV – with series five featuring 11 couples and 32 episodes.

Despite the show failing to create many long lasting relationships, the consistent controversies surrounding the contestants has led to sky-high ratings.
