Jamie and Dave captured our attention from the very beginning and had quite the journey on Married At First Sight Australia.

Whilst the pair chose to commit to one another at final vows, at the reunion Jamie and Dave revealed they were no longer together.

โ€œAfter final vows, it became quite clear that Dave wasnโ€™t quite into me,โ€ Jamie had shared.

โ€œWe only broke up a week agoโ€ฆ I broke up with Dave technically. I had to push for the breakup โ€“ he never told me how he was feeling,โ€ she continued.

Dave commented, โ€œI was sad to let it go but Jamie and I have such a good bond and so much respect still for each other. Jamie and I both knew in which direction it was heading.โ€

At final vows, we saw the pair doting over one another, sharing heart-felt words of admiration.

โ€œJamie, the moment I saw you walking down the aisle my heart jumped out of my chest,โ€ Dave began.

โ€œThrough all of this, youโ€™ve become one of the closest people to me in my life, I came here looking for something that could last, something worth holding on to and with you, I believe thatโ€™s possible, so today I choose us.

โ€œWhatever comes next, Iโ€™m ready if you are,โ€ Dave finished.

Jamie began her vows with uncertainty, sharing her hurt on finding out Daveโ€™s feelings were not progressing, โ€œI questioned my relationship, you as a person and even myself.โ€

โ€œI deserve to be loved Dave and I just donโ€™t know if Iโ€™m willing to wait to see if you can get there tooโ€, she continued.

โ€œI also know that Iโ€™m not ready to walk away from this or from you. So yes, I do want to take this relationship to beyond the experiment because I donโ€™t think itโ€™s the end of our story.

โ€œIn fact it may just be the beginning.โ€ Jamie finished.

The pair have spoken to Nine Entertainment, with Dave sharing, โ€œThe bond Jamie and I have is super special and super respectful. Final Vows is exactly how I felt, and it was super, super special to keep us alive.โ€

โ€œI love who she is, and I love the way she holds herself,โ€ Dave continued.

Being 6ft6โ€ and covered in tattoos, Dave is often misjudged โ€“ but this gentle giant has a soft side! Dave is a 36-year-old Builder from Victoria who has been matched with 28-year-old Account Manager, Jamie also from Victoria. 

Walking down the aisle to meet her husband-to-be, Jamie began swooning over Daveโ€™s neck tattoos before he even turned around.

โ€œSold!โ€ Jamie said. 

Jamie wasnโ€™t the only one swooning, as Dave complimented her eyes, energy and her fluorescent nails.

Their connection continued into the reception and no topic was off-limits as they even agreed on the number of children they wanted โ€“ โ€œtwo boys and one girl.โ€

The pair were a match made in heaven, and the only emotional part of the wedding was Daveโ€™s speech. Unfortunately, Daveโ€™s step-mother and dad couldnโ€™t attend the ceremony given he was undergoing his fourth round of chemotherapy.

โ€œWith my dad not being here today, I realise how important he is,โ€ Daveโ€™s speech began. โ€œDad means the world to me. He has raised me to be this big, kind, gentleman he is today.โ€

Their connection continued to grow over the honeymoon, moving in together and their very first dinner party where Jamie wasnโ€™t afraid to cause conflict with Tim.

During the first challenge, Jamie and Dave experienced a little green-eyed jealousy as they were asked to discuss their ex relationships, to which was of no interest to either parties.

โ€œYou care, that means you care about me,โ€ Jamie said, while Dave got all flustered.

While he never confessed his feelings for her, Dave admitted to the camera crew: โ€œI really like her, she makes me laugh, she keeps me on my toesโ€ฆ sheโ€™s everything. Donโ€™t tell her I said this.โ€

But since then, it seems Daveโ€™s feelings for Jamie have halted. During the Coupleโ€™s Retreat, Jamie revealed she said those three words, โ€˜I love youโ€™ to Dave, however, he didnโ€™t return the sentiment. 

โ€œThis experiment, weโ€™ve really done it properly, we have. And you can do it properly and not fall in love,โ€ Dave said in the following commitment ceremony. 

During Couple Swap Week, Jamieโ€™s anxiety regarding her relationshipโ€™s progression deepened as Adrian questioned Daveโ€™s feelings given he wouldnโ€™t initiate physical intimacy.

After dodging Jamieโ€™s questions regarding his true feelings, Dave eventually agreed he wasnโ€™t in the love stage. 

โ€œIโ€™m not there yet. You said you love me six weeks into this, Iโ€™m not there yet,โ€ he said.

Following this admission, Jamie confided in the camera crew, saying: โ€œThis is the first time in the experiment where Iโ€™ve questioned whether Dave and I will work. We might not be able to come back from that.โ€
