With two weddings down and another eight to go, tonight we see couples Amanda and Tash and Natasha and Mikey tie the knot.

In her intro package, Amanda says “I tend to go for straight women” and is this the season where ‘couple swapping’ gets taken to a whole new level?

Their wedding is genuinely a bit of a tear-jerker. We may have even cried during Amanda’s speech and wealmostregret our wife swapping comment. But also this isMAFS, so we’ll see you in week five.

Watch a snippet of Amanda’s wedding vows to Tash. Post continues below.

Then we have Natasha and Mikey. Boarding school-educated Mikey drinks beers on yachts while talking to his friends, but insists that he’s still #humble. Natasha, on the other hand, is a dominant, successful businesswoman who also seems to have deeply-rooted father issues and a habit for dating older men.

“I’ve accepted the wrong long because it was missing from my childhood,” she says in her intro package and sweetie, you don’t need a fake marriage to feel better.

Both couples get undermined by their overly involved best friends. Tash’s bridesmaids grill Amanda who hints Tash went on the show after breaking up with an ex-girlfriend. She then tries to comfort Tash by telling her that she “applied for the show the night they broke up” before delivering the old line about being “here for the right reasons”. It seems to work and Tash’s bridesmaids are fuming.

Meanwhile, Natasha’s hairdresser (sidenote: ???) tells Mikey to be more of an “alpha” to impress his new bride and we demand that boy be given his own reality TV show. Mikey insists he is an alpha before escaping the conversation by going to the bathroom. Later Mikey’s brother tells Natasha that he took their disabled Aunt Lou to his “first-ever formal” which wins her over. We admit it’s pretty adorable.

All in all, two successful marriages thathave yetto go tits up. Onwards.

Here are the best reactions to tonight’s episode:

A wedding that is not legally binding is the best way to celebrate the legalisation of same sex marriage #MAFS #MAFSAU

One of these days a contestant on a reality TV show is going to reveal they had a perfect upbringing with no heartache and that they are in a really happy place, and we will all be left stunned #MAFS #MAFSAU

“A spreadsheet full of dot points.” Not sure that bridesmaid fully understands how a spreadsheet works… #MAFS

When the #britishshorthaircat on #MAFSAU excites you more than the weddings… ????????

Is the fact her mother is dressed in all black like for a funeral a good or bad sign? #MAFS #MAFSAU

Mikey looks old enough to run a childcare centre not his families nursing home! #MAFSAU #mafs

20 years ago who would have thought that one day we could watch two women getting married on Australian TV in a totally pretend ceremony played totally for fake reality TV drama….brings a tear to your eye #MAFS #MAFSAU

When someone says they’ve made big mistakes in the past I always think, yes they must have gone to jail for fraud #MAFSAU

I have no idea how Mikey feels like he’s the alpha male… A) he’s awkward as hell b) his name is Mikey… #MAFSAU

— maddie (@prythians) February 4, 2020

I always wonder with these shows…when they go to sleep, do the cameramen just awkwardly turn off the lights and then noisily leave the room with all their gear? #mafs #mafsau

#MAFSAU has got me this season. Hook line and sinker. Take my week nights, I only had 25 other (more productive) things to do.
