Ally is in it for the fame. Carys is in it to finally find love. They were meant to be competing for the same guy . . . but they cant ignore the tension building off-screen.
Wedded Bliss is everyones favourite reality show.
Ally is in it for the fame. She was handpicked entirely because of her TikTok where she has built her audience. She doesnt need a husband, but a partnership launched on international TV could definitely help her brand. And it seems like thats what shes found in Instagram model, Warren.
Carys is in it for love. That might be a silly reason to go on TV, but shes never had much luck so far. Perhaps all she needs is the right situation, the right man and itll all fall into place. When she meets the handsome doctor Patrick, it seems like she has finally gotten her wish.
But then the two women meet behind the scenes and instantly hit it off. As the front runners of the show, the tension between them builds as hot as the competition and they share a kiss the night before the final coupling up. For Carys, its an awakening she wants to explore, but Ally freaks out at the idea of everything shes built going to waste . . .
But when the truth is revealed, they have to make a choice, reality TV fame or face the reality of love
