New MAFS UK brides

Hannah

Age 33:

From: Cheshire

Job: Health and Fitness Business Owner

The bio for Hannah reads: "Fun, fabulous, with big opinions but no filter, Hannah is quite the extrovert, who doesn’t stick to the norm.

"Straying away from how the rest of her family live, Hannah hasn’t gone down the route of settling down early and has focused on growing her business instead. 

"Beneath the tough and ambitious exterior, Hannah admits she’s put up walls but does have a softer side that she lets people see every now and again.

"Single for two years, she believes she’s only ever met boys and not men. She wants someone who is strong, keen and ready to keep up with her energy and give her the time and effort she deserves."

Amy

Age: 27

From: Blackburn

Job: Wedding planner

Amy's bio states: "Northern girl Amy has spent the last few years planning weddings at an events management company, where she’s been helping brides and grooms create the dream day she’s always wanted.

"Looking at wedding dresses and venues, and tasting cake samples every day, Amy is constantly reminded of just how single she is. But might her luck be about to change? 

"After having three serious relationships that have never felt right, Amy is happy to relinquish control and leave her love life in the hands of experts who can do the hard work for her.

"She’s hoping they’ll help her find someone who she can truly fall in love with."
