Marry Me Now, Love Me Later - The Play, Synopsis:
Three ‘eager to fall in love’ couples are matched based on psychometric testing. Each couple will meet at the altar and legally become husband and wife. They will compete in a series of hilarious tasks to show their commitment to one another. Will they find true love or are they only interested in the £50,000 cash prize that’s up for grabs? All will be revealed in the new season of Marry Me Now, Love Me Later! Trigger warning: Includes references to sexual abuse and trauma.
