Three friends of the couple have been invited by both Martijn and Nicole, and so they already know what the situation is. “We were really like, what are we going to do next?” They say in front of the program’s cameras. Their interference prevented the two MAFS participants from getting to know each other prior to the shooting.
In Ibiza, the girls, who call themselves “Bossche Bopjes”, do their best to prevent them from ever meeting each other. “We really thought from the start: We’re keeping this a secret. This is a day for Nicole and Martine, and we’ve given them that day wholeheartedly. Top secret.”
However, it didn’t matter much if their little secret was revealed sooner. On Nicole’s last night and Martine’s first, they find themselves in the same place. Because the new groom was tired of traveling that evening, he decided to go home early. And so I miss Nicole by a hair. In addition, a dinner party is canceled at the last minute to prevent the two from running into each other.
But it doesn’t stop there: the two miss each other in Holland, too. For example, the group of friends celebrates the ADE with Nicole, but without Martijn. and Nicole goes missing during a weekend camping trip. So the lovebirds have more in common than you might think. “Nicole is definitely my type. I’m sure if I met her somewhere in the hospitality business, I think I would have done the best I could. I already believed in science and that’s confirmation to me that he’s right,” said Martin.
In the second episode we also meet the third couple: Martin and Rachel. 32-year-old Tucker Martin has his affairs. He has a beautiful home, good friends and a good relationship with his family. He just misses a nice woman next to him. Martin did not remain intentionally celibate all this time. He says he is “critical” and also suffers from separation anxiety due to his past. When he was sixteen, his father fell ill and developed amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. “It took a year and a half and it really had an impact on my mom and brother’s lives,” he says. “And that actually bothers me to this day. It did something for me.”
Martin is now looking for a “real lady” and the happy bride is 30-year-old Richelle. She is also looking for a tree house animal. Where only, that is the question. Because both Richelle, who lives near Den Bosch, and Martin, who lives in Enschede, really don’t want to leave their home. Richelle has been dating a lot lately, but she can’t seem to find the right person. Is Martin the one?
