GARY, 34, NSW
Despite helping others tie the knot, marriage celebrant Gary hasn’t found his own bride yet. But when it comes to the perfect partner, they have to get on with his 2-year-old daughter Audrey.
“I’m looking for a partner who would be able to build a relationship with Audrey, not as her mother, but I would love her to have a big best friend,” he says.
JESS, 34, VIC
Mum to Ayla, 15 and Kailee, 13, Jess devoted her 20s to raising her girls. But now she’s out to find The One.
“I’m ready, and now it’s time for me to find my life partner,” she says.
“It’s my greatest dream to be married.”
CONNOR, 32, QLD
You might think that keen surfer Connor doesn’t have any trouble finding a girl, but he admits that in the past he has been afraid to put his heart on the line. “I think I’m still single because I’ve stopped myself from opening up,” he says.
“I’m a little bit afraid of commitment, maybe even a little bit scared of rejection.”
LISA, 31, SA
When it comes to finding her perfect match, hairdresser Lisa says it’s all about their personality. “I don’t really see gender; it all comes down to the person and what’s on the inside,” she says.
“I’m bisexual, so I’m attracted to men and women. I can appreciate beauty in women as much as I appreciate sexiness in men.”
KATE, 35, QLD
After defeating breast cancer, pub manager Kate has a whole new outlook.
“It taught me to live in the moment, do things I wouldn’t normally do and take crazy chances,” she says. Now she’s taking a chance on true love.
“I’d love someone who is active and has a keen sense of adventure.”
DANIEL, 36, SA
This single dad-of-five says that the perfect woman is going to have to be a fan of his kids. “My kids are my life,” he says.
“We’re actually a very close family. I’m one of eight kids so having a big family was something I always wanted.”
SELINA, 30, SA
With her parents enjoying a 32-year arranged marriage, Selina is happy to let The Proposal find her the perfect man.
“I do trust this process,” she says. “It’s like the modern-day version of what my parents had with their arranged marriage … If it can work for my parents it can work for me.”
PETER, 31, QLD
Adventurous Peter loves travelling the world, but he feels that the one thing in life he is missing is love.
“I live on a yacht and I like to travel around depending on where the wind blows,” he says.
“Iwant to meet someone that has the same zest for life that I do.”
