It could be love at first sight for two of MAFS’s newest stars.
Intruder bride and groom Joel Moses and Juliette Chae looked thrilled with their match in exclusive photos of the couple’s harbourside nuptials last year.
Model Joel, 31, beamed as he watched his glamorous bride walk down the aisle in a figure-flattering white wedding gown with matching train and heels.
Wearing a traditional long veil and holding a bouquet of beautiful crimson orchids Juliette, 27, smiled broadly when she first cast eyes on her hunky groom.
Sparks flew as the ceremony ended, with the Melbourne-based receptionist not hesitating to lock lips, grabbing her husband to pull him into a passionate embrace.
Joel chose a classic tuxedo with bow tie combo for his wedding, which included a vest and a floral pocket square.

Later, the pair seemed perfectly at ease as they posed for their wedding snaps against the romantic backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
Juliette could hardly keep her hands off her groom, sneaking a kiss and stroking his arm between shots.
At one point, Joel clowned around for the cameras, pulling a face as he picked up his bride.
In attendance for the intruder wedding were MAFS couples Gia and Scott, who appeared as cosy as ever, as well as loved-up pair Stella and Filip.
Bec and Danny also made an appearance alongside Mel and Luke, who still looked uneasy with each other despite the progress they made during Intimacy Week.
Meanwhile, Joel and Juliette are bound to shake up the experiment with their strong connection.
Joel is a drummer and entertainer who has carved out a career in front of the camera after transforming himself over the past five years.
Describing his former self as a ‘fat Uber driver’, Joel says he committed to rebuilding his body and confidence after his only serious relationship ended.

Signed to KHOO Management, his profile boasts ‘natural charisma’ and a ‘passion for the spotlight’ – and insiders say he ensures all eyes are on him from the moment he walks down the aisle.
But it’s his softer side that has left cast members stunned.
Joel is a self-confessed mummy’s boy; he still asks her for back scratches and was, until recently, ‘married to his teddy bear’
‘He’s out of control and completely unpredictable,’ one friend laughed.
‘Which seems to be the perfect mix for MAFS these days.’
Joel’s match Juliette has Lebanese, Maltese and Egyptian heritage, and grew up in Singapore before relocating to Victoria.
Single for four years, Juliette had hoped she’d be settled by now.
She has fallen hard in the past – once telling a man she loved him on the second date, only to be ghosted the next day.

Surrounded by married and engaged friends, she admitted she can be possessive and overly invested in relationships.
She is hoping the experiment will help her grow and finally find someone who sees her as long-term material.
‘She’s classy, clever and connected to her roots,’ a production source said.
‘But she’s also got a spark. When Joel starts dialling up the theatrics, it’s going to be fireworks.’
The other intruder couples include Tyson Gordon, 30, a Gold Coast property investor who buys, flips and sells homes – and isn’t afraid to flip the script inside the experiment, either.
The former soldier is paired with Stephanie Marshall, 32, a driven Queensland real estate agent who thrives on routine, ambition and self-improvement.
Rounding out the intruders are Adelaide fitness studio owner Sammy Stanton, 34, and NSW farmer and gym owner Chris Robinson, 38 – the season’s newest same-sex couple.
