Married at First Sight is hard to relate to for anyone who's never been involved in an arranged marriage on national television, but there were a few moments captured during MAFS season 16's honeymoons that struck a nerve more than others. While the series has a relatively low success rate, the couples paired for each season of MAFS know how to simultaneously entertain and frustrate viewers, whether on purpose or by accident. Although the social experiment is filmed over eight weeks, the biggest moments of MAFS always occur at the beginning and end: the weddings themselves, the honeymoons, and the couples' final decisions on the appropriately named Decision Day.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic affected a few seasons when the production had to shut down in 2020, the five Nashville couples matched on season 16 of Married At First Sight from expert Dr. Pepper Schwartz and Pastor Calvin Roberson recently celebrated their nuptials in Lucea, Jamaica. . Over the years, honeymoons held at MAFS have provided the newlyweds with a perfect setting to develop their relationships, but have also been the scene of some major discussions and, in the case of Alyssa Ellman and Chris Collette, even of premature separations. Between the great location and the plentiful supply of food and alcohol, not many viewers have experienced what the MAFS season 16 couples did, but a few filmed moments did make an identifiable impact.

Nicole Lilienthal and Christopher Thielk don't see eye to eye on everything, but the MAFS Season 16 frontrunners have one big thing in common: universal quirks. While they shared many emotional moments during their honeymoon, especially about Nicole's traumatic history with domestic violence, Nicole and Chris' conversation about what's holding them down was one that would make anyone nod. As a transplant to New York, Nicole revealed that she can't stand it when people walk slowly in front of her. On the other hand, good boy Chris admitted that under no circumstances should unwashed dishes be left in the sink. Both pet motives are completely understandable and very justified.
Although Nicole and Chris immediately connected, Jasmine Secrest and Airris Williams can't say the same. From Airris's cousin completely against the marriage to Jasmine's high expectations, the couple tried to connect emotionally on their honeymoon, but didn't get very far. Airris raised a few red flags during one particular dinner party, and as the scene unfolded, Airris and Jasmine's ridiculously large lobster bite became the least of her problems. When Jasmine asked Airris what she wanted to know about her, Airris couldn't think of anything other than sex. If that wasn't awkward enough, Airris, who is 39, revealed that she had never been in love before, despite their previous year-and-a-half relationship. Those who have ever gone on an awkward, awkward, or downright wrong blind date could easily relate to Jasmine and Airris' failed dinner party.
Jasmine and Airris enjoy a seaside meal that seems to start off in earnest until he surprises her by asking what her favorite sexual position is. At first, Jasmine laughs it off, but she eventually chimes in and points out that she's not against sex, she's just more modest publicly and doesn't like to talk openly on camera. The next day, when they are playing frisbee by the sea, Airris learns that his girlfriend is left-handed and reveals that he has never been in love with a woman before, raising several red flags in the process. Will that fly with her? Only time will tell.
Domynique and Mackinley have a fancy dinner together which begins with her almost falling to the floor after tripping over her heels, but Mackinley is there to rescue her from her. As they chat over food, they make plans and Mackinley shares her appreciation for her taking him out of her comfort zone. They end the night by enjoying dessert by the pool and developing their sexual chemistry.
Nicole and Chris also have a fancy dinner where they talk about love, and he admits that he's not there yet, but he can imagine falling for her. The subject of children is also brought up, and she admits that it's not something she's looking forward to, but she's not against having them. Chris wants at least two children, so this could be a problem for them in the future.
