IT’S the show that vows to pair normal people up with their soulmates by meeting for the first time at the altar. But while Married at First Sight continues to be a ratings hit, few couples seem to have stood the test of time, but there are some who have gone the distance. As a new series of the E4 show gets underway this week, we take a look at the brides and grooms who are still on the journey.
