Chris Jensen paired with high maintenance bride Jaimie Gardner on Married At First Sight

Dyslexic FIFO worker Chris Jensen stumbles as he reads his vows after being paired with high maintenance bride Jaimie Gardner on Married At First Sight


Married At First Sight took a major risk by pairing a bride with high standards with an insecure FIFO worker with dyslexia.

Tuesday’s episode of the Channel Nine dating show saw intruders Chris Jensen and Jaimie Gardner tie the knot, despite the odds being stacked against them.

But the newlyweds with seemingly opposite personalities got along after they met for the first time at the altar.

Despite initially appearing friendly with her groom, Jaimie, 35, later told producers that she wasn’t a huge fan of his appearance.

‘He’s not my usual type. I’m not a huge fan of the hair and I’m not a nose ring kind of girl’, she whinged to producers after meeting her husband.

A disgruntled Jaimie explained that she was normally attracted to ‘more selfish, entrepreneurial type’ of guys.
