Rachel Gordilloappeared onMarried at First Sight’s 13th season, which took place in Houston and aired in 2021.Though she was married to Jose San Miguel Jr.at the time, the pair havesince divorced.On July 6,season 15ofMarried at First Sightpremiered on Lifetime, following five San Diego-based couples as the reality of their newly-wed lives together sets in. Here, Gordillo gives PEOPLE her recap of Wednesday night’sepisodeandwhich couples appear to have a “strong” connection heading into their honeymoon.
It is the wedding night and it is looking like all our couples have attraction and chemistry… Some more than others!
Lindy and Miguel also have a strong connection, however, Lindy has a little stressful moment that concerns Miguel. I am hoping Miguel won’t see it as a red flag and be a support system to Lindy.
Krysten and Mitch also get ready for bed, and I love how excited Krysten is to show Mitch her more natural state. You can see the comfort building between them when Mitch compliments how he likes Krysten in a more laidback way.

The couples are now waking up for the first time as husband and wife to enjoy a lovely breakfast in bed. It is so interesting to see the different dynamics between each of the couples.
Alexis and Justin have such a playful way about them and its great to see how they make each other laugh. However, our other couple, Stacia and Nate, start their morning with a serious conversation about insecurities that leads to a conversation about their childhood. We start to see an emotional connection building between the two.
Lindy and Miguel wake up to discuss expectations on their first trip together and Lindy warns Miguel about her moods and anxiety. Hopefully this doesn’t scare off Miguel and we can be witness to this couple blossom throughout their honeymoon. The morning after the wedding for Krysten and Mitch started with very lighthearted conversation about food. They seem to be taking the process slower than the others. However, as they say, slow and steady wins the race.

Once the couples are up and ready to start the day, its time for the family brunches. After such a crazy night, it can be pretty intimidating and nerve-racking to meet the family without your spouse present.
Alexis, on the other hand, might not have made the best first impression. She starts the brunch with saying, “Your son is still celibate!” The reaction on Justin’s mom’s face was priceless. We know that Alexis has no filter and Justin’s mom tells us Justin is very sensitive. Will Justin be too sensitive towards Alexis' remarks? Alexis' family also has concerns about his sensitivity and his views of being a pleaser in a marriage. Alexis' parents tell Justin it’s important for him to voice his needs and warn him that Alexis will be very vocal in their relationship.

I hope Mitch and Krysten take this advice from the ones that know them best. Let’s hope Mitch will be completely honest throughout this process and Krysten will be able to handle his brutal honesty.

The four couples were then told they will be going to Puerto Vallarta. (Can we get Miguel to help everyone pronounce this destination correctly?) Everyone seems really excited about their destination, except Mitch, who was more concerned about the packaging of the honeymoon reveal than the actual trip. I hope Mitch can relax when it comes to plastics and really take the time to get to know Krysten on the honeymoon.
All the couples eventually got to meet for the first time, and I can already tell this will be a fun group to watch! Everyone seems to get along well, and they are very open about their relationships. This can definitely help other couples get insights, or it could potentially hurt couples if they feel the need to compare. Hopefully they can all learn and support each other throughout this process.
And finally, we reach Morgan and Bihn’s wedding day! The nerves were definitely high for this couple, but it seemed to be worth the wait.

Their interaction at the altar was cute and awkward, with big smiles. They instantly seemed to compliment each other, however I do hope Morgan’s ability to be overly-independent doesn’t interfere with her marriage with Bihn. Bihn seems to be ready to be a great husband for Morgan.
All the couples are finally hitched and off to the honeymoon. Honeymoons can be make or break. Everyone should use this time to get to know their partner in ways that will make their marriage stronger. However, as we know onMarried at First Sight, sometimes the honeymoon can reveal the dealbreakers that drive the couples apart.
