Like many TV love stories, Liam and Georgia eventually split after that memorable final dinner party. But don't worry, love had a plan. Liam found his match in Samuel Levi, who was on "Married at First Sight New Zealand" in 2019.

August 23 was their big day. Liam popped THE question surrounded by breathtaking views at Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa in Daylesford, Victoria. Liam took it online, sharing his joy, saying, "A day I'll never forget. I asked my best friend, my soulmate, my forever, if they'd marry me." Samuel felt just as blessed, posting, "Still pinching myself. On 20.08.25, my best friend asked me if I'd be his forever. We've loved keeping our love offline, but this moment's too precious not too share.”
Celebration time with loved ones
What made this day even more magical? Their family and closest friends planned a surprise celebration. It was a thoughtful touch that really added extra joy and turned their announcement unforgettable.

Looking back, both credit reality TV with sparking their beautiful love story. Samuel mused, "Our story continues… but here's where it began, 4 years ago. Who'd have thought a show like 'Married At First Sight' would lead us here?"
