Married at First Sight Season 8, based in Philadelphia, premiered on Tuesday night on Lifetime, and there was a lot of ground to cover in the matchmaking and marriage episodes. The experts decided to try something different and picked four couples instead of three after Pastor Cal and Dr. Jessica disagreed about who should be cut. We officially met two of those four pairs, including Jasmine McGriff and Will Guess.
There was some drama before and while the two said “I do.” Jasmine’s dad was very much against his daughter’s choice to marry a stranger, allegedly leaving her to wait until the day of her wedding to find out if he was going to walk her down the aisle. Then, after the wedding ended, her emotional father made his disdain with the situation known, claiming he was going to send Will’s information to a police officer friend for a background check (after last season, you can’t blame him).
But overall, Jasmine and Will seemed to get off to a good start. They both thought the other was attractive, they shared an actual kiss (he went for the cheek but she went for the lips), and despite Will being an introvert, they shared an easy rapport and had no issue cracking jokes with one another. It also helped tremendously that Will went to Lincoln University in Oxford, Pennsylvania. Jasmine went to the same school, as well as her father, and it aided the patriarch in finally warming up to Will — even if just for now…
While watching, we couldn’t get over how cute the pair looked together in all white (the photo above doesn’t do them justice), bonding over how “crazy” they are for marrying one another. We were cheesing like a Cheshire cat.
But we weren’t alone. The major consensus when it came to conversations about Jasmine and Will online was that the two are the first MAFS Season 8 couple people are confident about. No one knows what the rest of this season will hold and if they will continue to make everyone swoon (hopefully Will can continue to open up because Jasmine seems very into making things work), but so far, most people like what they see.
