Summary
A Criminal Minds / Married At Fist Sight AU
Penelope Garcia and Luke Alvez, tired of being alone, have signed up to be matched by experts with a partner on the reality show Married at First Sight. With just eight weeks to decide if they want to stay married to their match, will they find love, and will they make it?
Started out with the plan to have this follow the patterns of the MAFS show, but as stories do, it kind of had a mind of its own and went down a different path.
