Everything we know about MAFS' new fan favourite groom Dave Thomas
"Big friendly giant" Dave Thomas appears to be unlikely friends with one of the 2024 MAFS grooms.
MAFS is known for casting some controversial characters, and we all know by now we can't make judgements too early on in the season because you never know what's going to happen next — but so far, early on this season, people are throwing their support behind new groom Dave Thomas after his heartfelt wedding to Jamie Marinos.
While I'm personally crossing my fingers he won't get cancelled, things are so far going pretty smoothly for Dave and Jamie who hit it off on their wedding day and fans are already loving the match.
"Love these two. He seems like a gentle kind soul. Hope it works out," one person remarked following their wedding, with another saying, "He's a great catch. I hope it works out for these two!"
Jamie going “You’re doing good, you’re doing so good!” And touching Dave’s arm gently while he cries during his vows is giving the same energy as Lucinda from last year, and I love it. Men allowing themselves to express emotion is beautiful and healthy #MAFS #MAFSAU
