Input Data:
Synopsis: Experts Mel Schilling, Paul C Brunson, and Charlene Douglas help singletons find matches on wedding days.
Source 1: Series started in 2015. Eight British singles match-made into four couples.
Source 3: Singles meet for the first time at their wedding. Follow them through marriage, honeymoon, meeting in-laws, and setting up home.
Source 4: Strangers start marriage-like relationship, meeting minutes before the ceremony.
Problem: The provided text does not contain specific details about "Season 8". It contains general information about the series "Married at First Sight UK".

Analysis of Content:
The sources describe the general premise of the show: Eight British singles are matched into four couples by experts (Mel Schilling, Paul C Brunson, and Charlene Douglas). They meet for the first time at their wedding. The show follows them through the honeymoon, meeting in-laws, and setting up a home.
There is no information regarding Season 8 specifically (e.g., number of contestants in S8, specific names of S8 participants, specific plot points of S8).

If the sources don't mention Season 8, I cannot fulfill the "Season 8" specific requirement without violating the "no invention" rule.
Wait: If I write about the general series, I am technically providing the only available information. But the prompt asks for Season 8. If I say "Season 8 follows the format where...", I am being accurate to the
