So far this season, we've already seen a disappearing bride and a stripper tie the knot in Married At First Sight Australia.
But nothing could prepare viewers for the double wedding of Sharon and Michelle Marsh, from Perth.
The 31-year-old identical twins exchanged vows together in spectacular fashion on Monday night's episode, at the same ceremony, the same reception and even wearing the same dress.
'Double trouble. This is gonna be complicated,' Sharon's groom and self-confessed 'bogan', Nick, said to fellow groom Jesse, as the twins walked down the aisle and realisation dawned that they were all getting married together.

Here come the brides: As the grooms waited for their brides nervously, Nick and Jesse started putting two and two together as to what was going to happen
Close: Sharon and Michelle Marsh (pictured) have always had an incredibly close bond as sisters
Tell apart: 'Sharon's older. She owns her own home, she owns her own business and I'm a bit more of a gypsy at the moment. I've just returned from London,' Michelle, 31, explained
As the grooms waited for their brides nervously, Nick and Jesse started putting two and two together as to what was going to happen:
'This is a different experience. I've never been to a wedding where they've had two weddings on the same day,' Jesse said.
'I'm assuming that's both brides' family on that side. Are we gonna marry friends, or are we gonna marry sisters?'.
'That'd be funny. Identical twins,' Nick joked.
Nervous: 'This is a different experience. I've never been to a wedding where they've had two weddings on the same day,' Jesse said, as they waited for the twins nervously
Variations: While both of the twins seem identical in many ways, there were differences that the experts were quick to highlight when pairing them with grooms, Nick and Jesse
Key points: For Michelle (right), 'attraction is very important', while for Sharon (left), she said that loyalty was key
While both of the twins seem identical in many ways, there were differences that the experts were quick to highlight when pairing them with grooms, Nick and Jesse:
'Sharon's older. She owns her own home, she owns her own business and I'm a bit more of a gypsy at the moment. I've just returned from London,' Michelle, 31, explained.
'Some would describe me as a party girl at heart… I'm doing this experiment because I don't wanna stuff around anymore... Attraction is very important [to me].'
For Sharon, the main quality she wanted from a husband was loyalty. She said she wanted 'a guy with a lot of patience. Someone to ground me, to calm me.
'I hope my guy is from the country. They've got a different aura. A different way of holding themselves and a different way of coming across. I find that really attractive,' Sharon said.

Dealbreaker: Michelle found it a sticking point that she was taller than Jesse (pictured)
Passionate? 'So the kiss was like nothing really,' Michelle said of her first kiss with Jesse - 'Right now I'm a little bit worried. The sexual chemistry is not there. I don't know what to do'
Smitten: However, her older sister, Sharon, said she was smitten with Nick - 'Tall, dark, handsome. Blue eyes, oh my god. I gotta say I'm pretty happy,' Sharon said (pictured)
Luckily for the older twin, the man she was paired with was exactly what she'd hoped for.
Carpenter, Nick, 30, from Melbourne, told Sharon he was a 'country boy at heart' and their chemistry was clear for all to see as they met each other at the altar:
'Tall, dark, handsome. Blue eyes, oh my god. I gotta say I'm pretty happy,' Sharon said, upon meeting carpenter Nick.
'Sharon. I thought 'wow' absolutely gorgeous girl, seriously. I'm so lucky. I definitely felt a little bit insecure. She was probably a little bit too good for me,' Nick added.
No chemistry: Michelle (pictured) worried throughout the ceremony that there was no spark between her and Jesse
No show: After first failing to show up for the photoshoot, it was again brought to her attention that she was taller than Jesse (pictured)
'Sharon. I thought 'wow' absolutely gorgeous girl, seriously. I'm so lucky. I definitely felt a little bit insecure. She was probably a little bit too good for me,' Nick said (pictured at shoot)
However, on the other side of the ceremony, Michelle wasn't quite as enthralled with retailer, Jesse, 31.
'So the kiss was like nothing really,' she said after the couple had exchanged vows.
'Right now I'm a little bit worried. The sexual chemistry is not there. I don't know what to do.'
Retailer, Jesse, clearly didn't share his new bride's qualms.
'I felt like a bit of a spark. Like it could go somewhere. I hope so. I hope we're gonna do some more kissing later,' he said.
Love: 'I felt like a bit of a spark. Like it could go somewhere. I hope so. I hope we're gonna do some more kissing later,' Jesse said, unaware of Michelle's feelings
Not good: 'I'm trying to look happy, like everything's fine, like Sharon,' Michelle said. 'But inside, I'm looking at him and I'm thinking I'm wasting his time, I'm wasting my time'
As the brides settled in and got to know their new grooms at the reception, discrepancies widened as younger twin, Michelle, continued to compare her experience to Sharon's:
'I'm trying to look happy, like everything's fine, like Sharon,' she said.
'But inside, there was a lot of emotions going on. I'm looking at him and I'm thinking I'm wasting his time, I'm wasting my time.'
After failing to show up for their couple photos and having to be chased down by the photographer, Michelle, 31, said:
'It's just concerning to me that I don't feel all these butterflies. I just feel like I really need Shaz [Sharon]. I really need to talk to her one on one because it's not ideal. It's not really ideal.'
However, all was forgotten - or at least for now - when Jesse gifted Michelle with a charm necklace.
'Jesse is definitely growing on me. He's funny, he's kind, he's thoughtful. I mean, how cute is this?,' Michelle said to the cameras.

Gift: 'Jesse is definitely growing on me. He's funny, he's kind, he's thoughtful. I mean, how cute is this?,' Michelle said
Who knows: 'When it comes to intimacy with Jesse, again, I'm just going with the flow,' Michelle said
Happy: Meanwhile, it seemed like a match made in heaven for Sharon and Nick (pictured) - 'Nick definitely makes me feel at ease. It feels comfortable. It feels really right,' Sharon said
All seemed like a match made in heaven, meanwhile, for Sharon and Nick.
'Nick definitely makes me feel at ease. It feels comfortable. It feels really right,' Sharon said after their photos.
As the episode came to its conclusion, both couples settled in for their first night together as newlyweds.
Sharon and Nick seemed happy enough to sleep in the same bed - 'no messing around. Just your side, my side' - and Jesse and Michelle playfully shooed the cameras as they clambered into bed together:
'When it comes to intimacy with Jesse, again, I'm just going with the flow,' Michelle said.
Whether the twins' new marriages both have happy endings remains to be seen.
Married At First Sight Australia will return on Tuesday night on Channel 9 at 7.30pm.
