Married At First Sight NZ cast revealed: Meet the singles looking for love

Three has unveiled the 12 singles taking the leap into marriage for the second season of Married at First Sight NZ.

Unlike last year where the marriages were legally binding, this year the show has opted for non-official ceremonies.

Cantabrian account manager, Julia Malley, 32, is a self-described extrovert who has been single for six years.

Japanese-born, Yuki Sato, 31, is a Christchurch hairdresser and business owner who is a romantic through and through.
