Married at First Sight newbies Camille and Thomas were the first couple to take the plunge during Season 18 and now they’re dishing about the difficult process.
The duo convinced the experts to choose them for the process.
Thomas signed up for the unique marital experiment to fulfill his father’s dying wish that he get married and start a family.
Camille had grown exhausted with the dating pool and felt Dr. Pia Holec, Dr. Pepper Schwartz, and Pastor Cal Roberson could find her perfect match.
Meanwhile, the 32-year-old almost didn’t make it down the aisle as last-minute jitters got the better of her.
At one point, producers intervened when it seemed Camille was running away. Eventually, her sister calmed her nerves and when she walked down the aisle she was happy to see her groom.
It’s still early days, so let’s see if this marriage stands the test of time.
Camille and Thomas admit that the MAFS process is difficult
Camille and Thomas were surprised to find out just how difficult the MAFS process was and they dished about that in a recent interview.
“This process is not easy. There are so many new things to navigate and juggle at the same time, all while the entire world is watching,” Camille told Screen Rant.
Thomas shared similar sentiments adding that he has “more respect” for the show now that he understands all that is involved.
Meanwhile, the MAFS couple wasn’t the only one to tie the knot in the premiere and so far people are hopeful about the Season 18 couple.

One MAFS fan exclaimed, “Wait.. we getting a wedding episode 1?! Did they really listen to the viewers?! #MarriedAtFirstSight.”
