When last I left Married at First Sight, all three couples seemed to be fairly please with their arranged spouses. The some of the families on the other hand were a bit concerned.
Cody and Danielle
Cody and Danielle are cute. They seem to get along fine. Neither one of them is showing much of their personality yet. There doesn’t seem to be a problematic friend or family member. Charlie’s brother met someone at the wedding who was one of Danielle’s bridesmaids.
The spiritual adviser warns them about self-sabotage, because they may feel it is too good to be real.
Danielle and Cody head to St. Thomas for their honeymoon, where they have a gorgeous ocean front suite. While everything seems fine with them, next week Cody tells Danielle that the thinks he has been forcing things and he wants to back the relationship up some.
Ashley and Anthony
Anthony’s story about the dream he had with the flashlight shining on the letter A is going to be nearly as frequently mentioned as the fact that these are TWO STRANGERS who just got married. It is cute that Anthony got Ashley a necklace with a tiny flashlight and the letter A before he even knew her name. Where exactly does one purchase a flashlight charm?
Ashley has a sister who she spends a lot of time with. That sister is already concerned about not spending a much time with Ashley. Later, the spiritual adviser tells them not to share any marital problems with their family. He explains why. Ashley says she shares everything with her sister.
These two are headed to the Bahamas for their honeymoon. Anthony wants to do a lot of stuff. Ashley wants to relax. They already seem to be having points of disagreement about her sister and she is not even there. Though I would not be surprised if she showed up.
Shelia and Nate
Shelia seems exhausted and a little nervous after the wedding. In their honeymoon suite they eat chocolate covered strawberries and talk about the wedding ceremony. And Nate’s mother. I totally forgot that Nate still has to tell Shelia about his brother living with them.
At their family brunch, Nate’s mother has a crying meltdown. She literally asks her son if she is “still queen.” I thought Nate handled things very well.
The couple headed off to St. Croix for their honeymoon. They have a gorgeous villa. They find a lot of things that they have in common. Nate is itching to consummate the marriage. In the previews for next week, something goes horribly wrong because Shelia starts sobbing during their romantic dinner on their balcony. She says he doesn’t hear her and she doesn’t want to do this anymore and she doesn’t want to do anything with him.
I’m so glad that you are recapping season four!
Was anyone else bummed that Nick and Sonia from season three divorced?
I am suirised they stick it out as long as they did. I still hold the experts accountable for that over the dog issue.
I don’t know if any of the couples will make it. The red flags are starting to come out.
Danielle and Cody: They are still feeling each other out. I’m not sure if the 4 year age gap will be a issue.
A&A: Ashley is enmeshed with her sister. Anthony didn’t marry two sisters, just Ashley. I’m not sure if Ashley knows how to be a individual yet, let alone a wife. We’ll see.
Nate and Shelia: Run Shelia Run. Nate’s family ?. Nate’s father was a mess at the wedding. I covered my eyes during that speech. His mother acts like a heart broken ex. And on top of that his brother lives with him. Taking care of your brother may be an admirable thing but it may make your arranged wife uncomfortable.
I wonder what happened and why his minor brother lives with him. Which parent does he share with Nate? They didn’t go into a lot of detail on Nate’s brother.
Did they say that it was his half brother? Why do you assume they only share one parent? Also, did you happen to catch whether Nate’s parents are still together? I assumed not because he flew in from out of town for the wedding and I didn’t get the impression that his mother did, but I think there was mention of him having never married her after x years together.
Nate’s brother posted in social media that they have the same father but different mothers. He also said he has never lived with this father. I found his SM account last night.
take Nate’s brother out of the equation and he still creeps me out. Seems like waaay to much of a player. Will be interesting to see this play out. Also interested in the age differences in the 2 couples with the female older. I see big differences between a 25 y/o guy and 30 y/o girl just generally speaking.
Nate’s father is a trainwreck and his mother is needy with emotional abandoment issues. His wife and her family seem to be way too mature for him. I also wonder about the brother since his mother seems to be attached to him never mentioning another son. Run Sheila run!
Ashley’s sister will be a problem. Even her father told her basically to cool it as her sister has a husband now. I don’t think the sister cared because she continued having seperation anxiety and making plans. Run Anthony run!
The other couple didn’t appear to have a red flag that was obvious…yet.
Are Jamie and Doug the only couple still together?
Cortney/Jason (season one) and Tom/Lillian (season four) are still together.
Wow. I forgot about the fireman and the entrepreneur/makeup artist/burlesque dancer. Tom and Lillian I am surprised because she was more into material things them him and also the bus thing. Oh yeah, also having kids. He loved her booty tbo’ ?
