Lifetime's Married at First Sight matches strangers who meet for the first time at their wedding altar. With season 18 underway in Minneapolis, here's a look back at what happened in Denver's season 17. The season started in October 2023 with a historic moment when a bride left before completing her wedding ceremony.
Marriage experts Pastor Cal Roberson, Dr. Pepper Schwartz, and Dr. Pia Holec matched four Denver couples initially. The March 2024 Decision Day brought endings for three marriages while one pair chose to stay together. Within 24 hours, that final relationship also ended. Michael, whose initial bride left, received a second match with Chloe six weeks after other weddings.
