It was the burning question lingering after last night’s explosive episode of Married At First Sight, what was Cam going to say to Lyndall?
The defiant bride, 27, delivered a savage blow while dumping her FIFO worker ‘husband’ on Monday night, following weeks of feeling like a “burden” and an “inconvenience”.
In a history-making moment for the Nine show, Lyndall stopped Cam from delivering his own pre-prepared vows, telling him, “I think I’m done”.
Cam, also 27, then chucked his letter on the ground before storming off to a waiting car.
Now, he’s finally revealed what he had planned to say to Lyndall during an interview on Kyle & Jackie O this morning.
“I was never gonna read these, but why not,” Cam began, before reading the vows out in full on-air.
Cam’s vows:
“Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think to marry a stranger in the quest to find love.
“From the moment I laid eyes on you, there was an instant connection. You had the warmest of smiles on your face walking down the aisle, and I quickly learned that you love life just as much as I do. I felt that instant spark from day one.
“I was intrigued to find out more – did the experts get it right?
“Our wedding day was one for the books, filled with a lot of fun, laughs and surprised faces. “I thought the wedding day was unreal. You made a stunning bride. Which brings us to the honeymoon, where we spent several days in Fraser Island really getting to know one another.
“I love that we had common interests. You’re an incredible singer, and your enthusiasm for life and the way you love those closest to you is something I really admire.
“The more I learn about you, the more I respect you. You are kind, empathetic and have a genuine heart. You always bring positive vibes to any room. I like that you give anything a go.
“It’s been hard for both of us, away from friends and family, relying on one another for everything. It’s personally been a struggle for me being in the big city. Darwin, the outback and all things that come with that lifestyle is where I belong.
“That being said, I really enjoyed living with you in Sydney for the past three months. You have made Sydney feel like the closest thing to home.
“You’ve been understanding and taught me the importance of being vulnerable and loved, you made it comfortable for me to open up, which is something I’ve always struggled to do.
“But throughout this experiment, among all the good times, I’ve had my fair share of concerns about the future.
“The most obvious, we live in different states, with different lifestyles, and being together would mean one of us has to change our life completely. Another major concern is the way we handle conflict.
“You can say I can’t sit down and talk through tough times, but you never asked the question because you didn’t want the answer.
“Communication has been an issue for us, such as at the dinner party, commitment ceremony and homestays. I feel like you like to air our dirty laundry in public environments, which really pushes my buttons.
“Throughout this experiment you have needed more affection, reassurance, and emotion from me. I’ve taken the time to reflect on why I haven’t been able to give you these things.
“I think these things flow naturally when you are falling in love, which I’m not.
“I made a promise in my vows to be open and honest. I’d be lying to myself if I stood here today and told you I could see this relationship working beyond today.
“Lyndall, I appreciate what you’ve taught me about myself, what I’ve learned throughout this experiment, and now what I know what I want in a life partner.”
At the time of filming, Lyndall had told Cam she didn’t want to hear what he had to say, fearing it would only hurt her all over again.
Lyndall also went on-air this morning, further explaning why she denied Cam the opportunity to have his say.
“From my perspective, I knew that the communication wasn’t healthy and I knew that we had a massive problem resolving that conflict but I needed someone who was willing to sit with me and weather the storm in this whole conversation, not just walk out and never readdress them. And that was a big decider in not hearing his vows,” she told WSFM’s Jonesy & Amanda.
“For once I’m going to say exactly how I feel and tell him exactly how hurt I was and he is going to have to listen to every word and for the first time I’m going to stand up and say you don’t get to have a say this time because you’ve left me there so many times repeatedly.”
Meanwhile, the duo will reunite at Sunday night’s explosive reunion dinner party, with a teaser revealing Lyndall drops an explosive revelation about her ex.
