Paul began the final vows by speaking openly about his past mistakes, including ghosting Carina before Married at First Sight Australia experiment and going on the Final Task date with someone else.

“There's not a doubt in my mind that you are the one for me, and I never want to risk letting you go again,” he said.

Paul spoke about how her family embraced him and how they had always found a way back to each other. He ended his vows by saying that she could forgive him. Carina listened quietly and acknowledged the spark they once shared. She reflected on how safe she had felt with Paul in the beginning.

Jacqui and Ryan approached their Final Vows after some time apart in Married at First Sight Australia. Although they packed up their apartment together and watched their wedding video, the experience caused Jacqui to rethink everything.

Ryan, on the other hand, still seemed conflicted. During the ceremony in Married at First Sight Australia, Ryan opened with a joke and reflected on their relationship. He said that they were "wild, wonderful, and weird."
