They say when you know you know. And after checking out the premiere of Married At First Sight 2020, we KNOW Josh Pihlak and Cathy Evans are onto a good thing!

WATCH: What do the new MAFS players really think of each other?

It kind of seems like they know it, too, after each secretly admitting during their reception that the other could be ‘The One’ – just a few hours after tying the knot. And, um, meeting for the first time.

“Aww, strewth!” were Josh’s appreciative words as he caught his first glimpse of his bride on their wedding day, grinning ear to ear.

“Here she is. Hooley dooley. She’s gorgeous!”

Cathy was pretty pleased with who the experts picked out for her, too – and we can’t say we blame her!

“He had this massive grin and his eyes were just so… blue,” she gushed in a piece to camera.

“I dreamed of a man with light hair, light eyes, tanned skin, nice smile – and here he is.”

After some seriously cute vows (ahem, Josh: “Roses are red, violets are blue, everything mum told me about stranger danger smack bang out of the window when I decided to marry you…”), this season’s dream couple kicked off the fun at the reception – and that’s when things got uncomfortable!

Taking Cathy to meet his mum, Mandy, for the first time, the groom was put in an awkward spot by of his guests.

“I tell you what, two good sorts like you would make beautiful babies,” she quipped, leaving Cathy with the lols – and Josh looking a little terrified.

(Come on, they’ve only just met – even if he DOES think she could be The One, that is a lot for the first date…)

“It’s been five hours… calm down!” he laughed, putting a swift end to that baby chat.

But the thought of them starting family together might not be so crazy after all, given the speed at which the feels were coming on for the cute couple!

(Not to mention Josh’s earlier admission that he’s “wanted to be a dad since I was 13”.)

“I hope she likes me as much as I like her,” tradie Josh spilled when his bride was out of earshot. 

“It’s good to feel that feeling again, you know? Excited but scared s–tless at the same time. It’s good!”

“I’m crushing hard… this chick seems like she’s The One!”

Lucky for Josh, Cathy was on exactly the same page.

“I’m so ecstatic,” she smiled, talking to producers away from the reception crowd.

“I’m almost in shock that someone as gorgeous as him likes me back too. I don’t know how you can top this date. I feel like we’ve built a connection. So I just need to see where that goes now.

“Josh could honestly be The One.”

And then we got the first kiss that we were all hoping for.

Le sigh! Isn’t love grand?

At first glance, Cathy might seem like a blonde Martha from MAFS season six. But one look at her social media and you get a different picture of the bubbly bombshell.

“It’s Cathy ya dogs,” is how she introduces herself on Instagram, while describing herself as a “Youtuber and Meme Lord.”

The social media star says she’s got serious trust issues and documents her bad dating history via her YouTube account.

Josh, meanwhile, certainly seems like a stand-up guy – but his friends predict the tradie from Newcastle will get up to mischief!

“I can’t wait to see you get into scandals and create havoc!” said one, while another joked, “Can’t wait to see you sleep with a few husbands.”

But it looks like they were just playing, with another commenting: “Any Dad would be proud to have you as a son-in-law.”

Aww!
