A MARRIED At First Sight couple who were matched on the show but were never shown on TV have finally married in real life. Paul Todd and Ally Acklan were supposed to tie the knot on the E4 reality show in 2020 and had already done six weeks of filming, before they were told that their wedding wasn't going ahead . Paul asked to be put in touch with the woman MAFS' experts had matched him with to explore a potential relationship away from the cameras.
Fast forward four years on and the couple said 'I do' last month at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, followed by a night of partying at a coastal hotel with about 60 guests. They were also joined Married At First Sight matchmaker Paul Carrick Brunson and other show experts. "The experts are a huge support in our life and that's why we invited them all to the wedding.
Without them, we wouldn't have our daughter, or our love," Ally shared with the Mirror . "Paul won't admit this, but he had tears in his eyes during our vows. He is not one of those teary kind of guys, so that was beautiful.
" Ally, who welcomed daughter Penelope in 2021 with Paul, said she ditched her original MAFS wedding gown for an Asos dress. "I was going to wear my original Married At First Sight dress, but because I had a baby, even though I've lost a lot of weight recently, it was still too tight," she said. "So I just got a cheap one off Asos .
My new husband keeps telling me, 'Darling, you looked lovely.' I'm like, 'Yeah, yeah, I looked alright.'".
She looked .
