Married at First Sight : Season 5

Married at First Sight returns for a new season in the windy city of Chicago, Illinois. Three experts; Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Pastor Calvin Roberson and Rachel DeAlto are tasked with finding three compatible couples that will not meet until their wedding. This in-depth exploration of the matchmaking process introduces the experts, experiment and the candidates brave enough to marry a stranger.

The experts have matched three couples, and it's time to let them know that they're about to marry a complete stranger. The participants have just two weeks to prepare for their marriages–they must buy each other rings, go dress shopping, get fitted for a tux, and throw a bachelor or bachelorette party. Without knowing anything about their future husband or wife–not even their name, the preparations are fraught with excitement and panic.

Six courageous singles who've been unlucky in love have entrusted three relationship experts with the biggest decision of their lives; today they will meet their new spouse at their wedding as they vow to legally marry as strangers. Will it be love at first sight or extreme fright?

After marrying as complete strangers, the newlyweds are alone for the very first time on their wedding night. Will their chemistry lead them to consummate their marriages on the very first day they meet?

Each couple embark on a honeymoon in hopes of getting to know each other better after marrying as strangers.
