Austin is Optimistic About His Future Wife & the Married at First Sight Experiment as a Whole

Married at First Sight, Life’s experimental reality series featuring couples congregating at the altar, skies tonight at 8 p.m. EST/7 p.m. CST. The five couples featured on Season 10 include Katie and Derek, Jessica and Austin, Taylor and Brandon, Mindy and Zach, and Meka and Michael.

The official Life Summary for tonight’s episode, entitled “Alien Comes Here,” reads, “Five couples are ready to walk down the aisle to get married at First View! While the first three couples celebrate their marriage with the help of family and friends at their wedding receptions, two couples remain to make the great leap of faith”.

Austin is Optimistic About His Future Wife & the MAFS Experiment as a Whole

Today is the big day, and three of the five Married at First Sight couples are getting ready to walk down the aisle and get “Married at First Sight”. A promo clip from tonight’s episode shows a nervous and excited Austin Hurd telling the cameras how optimistic he is about the experiment, and how excited he is to meet his future wife.

“The day is here, and of course it’s a big risk to get married at first sight, without knowing who you’re going to marry,” Austin tells the cameras in the clip above. “But I mean, I’m optimistic about this whole process, and I’ve always wanted to have a family and all, so I’m gonna do what I can to make it work.

Austin shares a sweet moment with his grandmother, who makes jokes about treating him like a little boy and tells him “that’s what I love you, you accept me as I am,” before the scene crosses over to Austin’s bride-to-be when she’s ready to cut the knot.

Jessica is Hoping for a Husband With Brown Hair & a Beard

In a separate room Jessica Studer also starts to get nervous about the ceremony. When her bridesmaids ask her how she feels, she answers: “I think it just touches me that f-k, this really happens”. Although she seems a little anxious to walk down the aisle, Jessica all smiles.

“Being married at first sight” isn’t exactly how I imagined my wedding day, just because I didn’t know who my husband would be,” Jessica tells during a confessional. “But I really hope he’s everything I asked the experts.”

Jessica adds that she hopes her future husband is “tall with brown hair and a beard,” (Austin technically only touches one of those demands because he’s blonde without a beard), and she’s worried that he’s not attracted to her. She says that she hopes that she’s not “immediately disappointed when he’s blonde hairy and has no beard,” so her first impression of Austin will be interesting to watch during tonight’s episode.

Lifetime hasn’t shared many clips or photos of tonight’s big episode (probably to avoid ruining the whole episode), but if the network releases anything else, Heavy will update this post with more clips, photos and predictions.
