DENVER, COLORADO: Lifetime's show, 'Married at First Sight', has returned for another dramatic Season 17. However, from Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner to Nicole Lilienthal and Christopher Thielk, 12 couples from the show have successfully made their marriage work. 

The latest season made history after a bride ditched a groom at the altar.

So what is 'Married at First Sight' all about? In the show, two complete strangers who know nothing about each other get legally married as they meet for the first time.

Experts Pastor Cal, Dr Pepper, and Dr Pia try their best to match the singles with compatible partners.

After the wedding, the couples have to spend time together on their honeymoon and eight weeks together living a family lifestyle. After eight weeks, they get to decide whether they want to divorce or stay together on Decision Day.

While most of the couples on the show don't make it past the honeymoon, there's a decent amount of lovebirds, who are still together after the reality show ended.
