MAFS 2025 Final Vows Recap: Happy tears, sad tears and whatever that was from Jacqui

We’re at the end!

Let’s get right into this Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025 recap; we’ve already wasted enough of our lives.

Does Carina forgive Paul?

Paul‘s going first, and the jig is up that the decision lays in her hands, right? But let’s hear it.

“In a moment of frustration, when I felt disrespect, I made a terrible mistake. I cried for days consumed by disappointment for handling things so poorly,” he tells Carina (of the wall-punch mistake).

Are we supposed to feel sorry for you? Nice try.

He says he never meant to hurt her when he called her judgemental. “I was simply trying to communicate honestly,” he tells her (of the throwing her under the bus mistake).

He says going on the date showed him that he already found what he was looking for. “All I can do now is ask for your forgiveness,” he asks (of the grass is greener task mistake).

“There’s not a doubt in my mind that you are the one for me,” he confirms.

He then speaks French, which I don’t think she knows and is just further proof of his ego.

Her turn!

“We are human. We all mistakes,” she tells him.

“As a Christian, I’ve been taught to forgive. I can’t ignore the good times in this experiment where you made me feel special and cared for and loved.

“However, I vowed to myself that my life partner would be a man who I can completely trust.

“You threw it all away in a selfish act. You were given a test, which you failed. In my eyes, that was the final straw. I felt embarrassed, humiliated, and disrespected, and I never want to feel like that again.

“I can’t be with someone who makes me feel like I’m not enough. And no matter how hard I try, I can’t look at you in the same way.

“Paul. I was yours. You had me. You ruined it. And now you’re going to have to live with that for the rest of your life.”

Sucked in Paul!!!! Paul is very upset!!! May this be a lesson to everyone, everywhere, that just because someone forgives you once, it doesn’t mean they will continue to do so.

“I’m so sorry,” she tells him. Stop it, Carina. You were doing so well.

“I seriously thought you were going to be able to move past this one,” he begs.

“I actually can’t believe this is happening,” he begs again.

“Do you think you’ll be able to forgive me like, in the future? Maybe forget about it?”

MAYBE YOU CAN THINK WITH YOUR BRAIN LIKE, IN FUTURE. LIKE, MAYBE FORGET ABOUT YOUR DICK?

She walks away, hopefully to take off that dress so she can breathe again.

Are Rhi and Jeff in love?

We all know how this one will go, and I’d really appreciate a successful couple who’ll give this show a shred of integrity.

Jeff says he is committed to growing this relationship, which he never thought would work. How sweet!

“I can confidently say, Rhi, I am falling in love with you.”

Cute! He talks about being old and not wasting time in the wrong relationships.

“Rhi, you’re it for me. I choose you, and I hope this is forever.”

Why am I crying?

She says she’s falling in love with him too! Cute. I hope to see them in many health and wellness Instagram collaborations.

Perhaps even some Sam Wood-esque exercise program. As long as Jeff laughs throughout, I’ll sign up.

Will Jacqui flip-flop on Ryan one last time?

Jacqui and Ryan are wearing the most hideous matching outfits I’ve ever seen. This is the outfit the worst couple that you know wear on their first trip to the Amalfi Coast.

“I love Ryan, I do, Jacqui declares. “And I want him in my life.”

After watching their wedding video, despite kissing him and smiling at him throughout, Jacqui says she has a gut feeling this relationship isn’t right for her. She really gives me a headache.

She has now decided she’s happier alone. TBC if she’ll change her mind in five minutes.

Ryan? Well he’s feeling quite good about the relationship, which is understandable given, you know, Jacqui’s begging over the last few weeks. And the matching outfits and the shrine.

His mates think the juice is not worth the squeeze.

“I’ve got some iconic lines that will go down in history as memorable,” Jacqui says of her vows. Ugh, it’s been done. The Lyndall method. The Lauren mic drop. We’re smarter than this. We’ve been through this before.

Ryan goes first and thanks her for the sexy times but says the online shopping and anal retentiveness were annoying. He chooses to walk away.

Jacqui goes back to the person she was three, five, and seven weeks ago, when she hated Ryan and thought he was not good enough.

“You planned a gang attack on me!” she tells him.

“I don’t want to be the wife to a man; I want to be the wife to a husband,” she tells him, which I feel dumber for having listened to.

“In a world of red flags, you are the red carpet.

“Today I choose peace and to walk away from this relationship.

“While I love it when your big biceps pick me up and hug me, dip me and throw me in the pool, they’ll never be the reason I get pregnant. Goodbye.”

What the fuck did I just listen to.

“Be gone with you, you horrible woman,” Ryan says, but not to her face. She’s already walked away.

Well done to the editing team, who have transitioned that exit right into an entry into her relationship with Clint. And the MAFS 2025 Reunion! Which looks wild!
