Brie White, 29, ventured to Stranded On Honeymoon Island seeking love but found herself on an emotional rollercoaster she never anticipated. Reflecting on her experience, she told Daily Mail Australia that rewatching her televised wedding felt like observing “a younger version of myself.” Though the memories remain raw, she admits, “I looked so unsure… It was sweet but wild.”
A Spark Amidst Chaos
Brie, who had never been in love before the show, was paired with Byron, 33. Despite initial fears, she felt an instant connection. “There was a spark—it scared me,” she confessed. The isolated environment amplified her emotions: “There was no escape. It felt claustrophobic.”

A Whirlwind Wedding
The rushed wedding process left Brie conflicted. “Suddenly, I had a ring and was sharing vows with a stranger,” she laughed. “That sht* scared me.” Missing her family added to the stress: “I dreamed of a big wedding with everyone there. Without them, it felt uncomfortable.” Yet, she knew Byron was her choice early on, recalling, “When I saw him walk down the aisle, I felt calm.”
Growth in Isolation
The show’s isolation forced introspection. “I couldn’t stalk him online or even call my best friend,” Brie shared. Stripped of her usual dating habits, she faced fears head-on. “I’d lie in bed thinking, ‘I can’t do this.’ Three days felt like three months.” The lack of control was daunting: “We didn’t know how long we’d be there or what day it was.”

Blurred Lines and Raw Reality
Cameras became irrelevant quickly. “After two days, we forgot they were there,” Brie said. The unpredictability mirrored real life: “We knew nothing beforehand—just that we’d marry a stranger and go to an island.” This rawness, she believes, sets the show apart: “It wasn’t polished. We lived it authentically.”
Lessons Learned
Brie emerged with newfound clarity. “I used to fear nice guys,” she admitted. Now, she values kindness and good hygiene over arrogance. As for reality TV glamour? “By day three, makeup didn’t matter. I just missed dental floss!”
Stranded On Honeymoon Island airs Tuesdays at 7:30pm on Seven.
