One of the blushing brides looking for love on this TV series is Sarah Gillanders. The hopeful single was determined to find 'The One', having watched all her friends tie the knot and settle down.
Sarah had given up on love in her hometown of Aberdeen, claiming there are no eligible bachelors and, if there are, she's probably met or dated them already. So her only request to the experts? To be matched with the nicest guy in the world. And from the MAFS teaser trailer it appeared she was matched with Dean - the smiliest groom the show has ever seen.
