Awhina and Adrian’s uncertain future after Final Vows on Married At First Sight Australia

A conflicted final decision

At the Final Vows, Awhina and Adrian addressed the concerns they had about their relationship. Adrian reflected on the process, emphasizing that his goal was to "walk away with someone" and that it was uncommon to find a person who made him "feel comfortable" with himself.

He also considered whether their relationship could continue outside Married At First Sight Australia, explaining:

"I might have to move my whole lifestyle somewhere else, away from my family and friends – is that really what I want to do, and is this relationship worth it?"

Awhina discussed her considerations, emphasizing distance and her responsibilities outside the experiment. She highlighted that Adrian lives in Sydney while her life, including her son and community, is established in Perth.

She underscored that just as her commitments are in Perth, Adrian's are in Sydney, raising concerns about their future together. She later stated her decision, saying:

"You're not my future right now. This is where our journey ends."

A sudden change of heart

After their decision, Awhina and Adrian had a conversation that led to further discussion about their relationship. Awhina responded to Adrian’s expression by saying:

"Don't look at me like that, Adrian...Do you want to spend time with me tonight?"

Adrian confirmed his willingness by saying it was something he was open to. Awhina asked if their continued interaction was on a friendship level or if there were other considerations. Adrian stated,

"Of course you know I have feelings for you, I just read my vows."

When Awhina questioned whether Adrian was "choosing to walk away," he acknowledged that he was aware of his feelings for her but maintained that his decision was based on the challenges they faced in their relationship.
