Married At First Sight

I can deal with love at first sight, but married at first sight; I’m not too sure about that. I recently found a new show on A&E “Married at First Sight.” This show follows 3 couples through a social experiment. You meet your husband/ wife at the altar and you don’t even know their name! After the first episode I wrote the show off as another reality show, but the next Tuesday I found myself glued to the tv for another episode. As a hopeless romantic, I enjoyed watching the experiment unfold and watching these couples not only getting to know each other but getting to know each other as husband and wife. My favorite couple throughout the experiment was Jaclyn and Ryan. I enjoyed watching their story unfold so much, I wanted to audition for the show. They both went in the experiment with open minds and was willing to work through any bumps that came along the way. During the finale I was happy to find out Jaclyn and Ryan were choosing to stay married but during the reunion to see them in a different space with each other was hard to believe. At the conclusion of the reunion the host asked each couple their last thoughts. Jaclyn and Ryan shared that love is out there for everyone! I began to shed tears because I had begun to lose hope that love that would never find me. But it was during this moment that I received a bit of hope that love would indeed find me one day! Do I believe in married at first sight, not quite; but I do believe love has strange ways of finding you!!
