What happens after the “I do?” Married at First Sight season 8 kicks off on New Year’s Day and will follow four brand-new Philadelphia-based couples from the moment they meet, which happens to be the same day they walk down the aisle. Will Guess and Jasmine McGriff, AJ Vollmoeller and Stephanie Sersen, Luke Cuccurullo and Kate Sisk and Keith Dewar and Kristine Killingsworth all appear to be beaming upon meeting each other in Us Weekly’s exclusive season 8 trailer. However, that doesn’t last long. “Finally having a husband is a dream come true,” Stephanie, 35, says in the trailer. However, the two seemingly butt heads a little later. “The line’s been crossed now and I’m just really uncomfortable,” she later tells her husband. Keith, 29, and Kristine, 28, also seem connected from the start. “The sparks are definitely flying, and we’re adults. We may have done a few things,” she says in the trailer as she enjoys champagne in the bathtub with Keith. It seems like Luke and Kate may have the rockiest road – from the sneak peek, at least. “Luke said he felt dead and repulsed inside after we kissed,” Kate said at one point in the trailer. Later, she breaks down crying and runs in to the bathroom. Married at First Sight (produced by Kinetic Content) premieres on Lifetime Tuesday, January 1, at 8 p.m. ET.<doc-sep>As shown in Season 8 of Married At First Sight, things are going well for newlyweds Jasmine McGriff and Will Guess. While it was unsure if McGriff's father was going to support the arranged marriage, he eventually came around. In an exclusive interview with Newsweek, Guess talked about his favorite thing about his new wife, what he was thinking before he said "I do" to the woman he would possibly spend the rest of his life with and how he's been able to merge his life with someone else. What do you like the most about Jasmine? What I like most about Jasmine is her high energy and her free spirit. It helps bring me out of my monotonous routine. Did it make a bad impression on Jasmine that her father was so tough at first? No not at all, as a man I could only imagine how he felt when he got the news. I feel as though he acted as expected, probably better than expected for him to be walking his daughter down the aisle and giving her away to a complete stranger. What were you thinking right before you walked down the aisle? I was wondering if I did a good enough job of explaining who and what I'm attracted to when it comes to a wife. I was praying the experts got it right. I was thinking about how crazy I am for going through with this, but I'm seconds away! So here goes everything! You both are independent people. Has it been hard to merge your lives together? I'm used to a specific daily routine, and integrating another person along with a pet has been a bit of a challenge to say the least. It's something, in the beginning, that I had to be conscious of, but as time went by it became second nature—they became part of my routine. Aside from the change in routine, the merge has been smooth, since I'm an open-minded person who understands the level of commitment needed to make any relationship, especially, a marriage work! -- As for what McGriff thinks about Guess, she previously said the "jury was still out" on whether Guess would turn out to be her very own Barack Obama. "I think Will has some Obama in him but I'm waiting to see his full potential come out," she told Newsweek.

"Oh my gosh, you knew her?!" Jamie asked on Tuesday night's Unfiltered broadcast that aired before the season's second episode.After Luke nodded his head, Jamie said, "No one has ever known the person who was walking down the aisle towards them. This is nuts! "Pastor Cal enthusiastically nodded his head in agreement with Jamie while Luke let out an awkward laugh.Jamie then asked Luke to provide a little more information on what he was feeling or thinking in the moment he realized he knew his bride. "So the very last person on her side of the family was Megan, someone I had met previously. So, I'm at the altar thinking, 'Do I know my bride already?' And there was actually a sneak preview where the doors opened for a hot second, and I was like, 'I know her!' And then they closed," Luke shared. "And then we had to wait and I was like, 'Uhhh,' and then they opened again, and I was like, 'Yup! Definitely know her!' as she was coming down the aisle. ""Wow," Jasmine noted. "That's wild," Jamie added.Pastor Cal also chimed in, "That's crazy. "When asked whether the possibility ever entered his mind that he might have met his future spouse before, Luke explained to Jamie, "Oh, 100 percent! ""Every day, you are walking around after you figure out [you're getting married at first sight], and you're just looking at everyone and you're like, 'Do you have the same secret that I have?!'" Luke elaborated.Jasmine apparently felt the same exact way when she learned she was "engaged" to be married. "That's very true!" Jasmine chimed in. "You suspect everyone," Luke continued. "You're at the gym and you're like, 'Her? Maybe her? Maybe her. '""That is so true," Jasmine agreed once again, before acknowledging she "absolutely had that fear" she might know her groom. "I was just hoping that it was not someone that I knew," Jasmine admitted, "dated previously or just someone that I, like, left swiped on one of these [dating] sites. I was just hoping for that. "Pastor Cal then confessed he never expected this to happen on . In fact, he suggested the experts go great lengths to ensure a matched couple is comprised of total strangers. "We fear this. That's why we ask all of our participants to give us pictures of at least your exes, so we can at least get them out of the way," Pastor Cal explained. "But yeah, that's just an anomaly. That just doesn't happen. "Although Luke recognized his bride right away, it took Kate some time to catch onto the fact she had actually met her husband before. Since Kate acted like it was their first meeting, her initial conversation with Luke after tying the knot was awkward and uncomfortable.During the second episode of 's eighth season, Kate revealed she had met Luke at a speed-dating event she attended in support of her single friend. Luke ran and hosted the event.Luke later emailed Kate asking if she'd like to participate in a future event but she did not respond given Lifetime had already informed her that she would be getting married at first sight.Luke therefore appreciated the fact Kate did not respond to his email, because little did he know at the time he would be her husband!Interested in more news?
