Hello! Today, we’re joined by Married at First Sight star, Stella Mickunaite. Stella found love on the latest season of MAFS and is now engaged to her fiancé, Filip. In this conversation, Stella opens up about her move to Australia nearly 10 years ago and how hard it was to find her feet on new soil. She speaks openly about her experience on MAFS, in particular the infamous dinner party, the insane nerves she felt walking down the aisle on the show for the first time, and her engagement to Filip during the final episode. We also speak about what she's up to now and the plans for her and Filip's (second) wedding! Your host today was Ruby Hall (@rubytuesday2.0), and the guest was Stella Mickunaite (@mickstella_).
