The latest season of Married At First Sight Australia has returned to E4, bringing with it the usual drama and unexpected twists. In Tuesday evening's episode, just minutes into the broadcast, producers were compelled to step in after groom Luke made a major oversight.
Luke, a farmer, and his bride Mel were preparing to meet for the first time at the altar. However, as the ceremony approached, a producer asked Luke if he had remembered to bring the wedding rings. Luke replied, 'No... you didn't tell me to bring them.' The footage cut back to a producer informing Luke of the rings' location before he raced to retrieve them.
Viewers were gripped by tense scenes showing Luke and Mel seemingly in a car race to the venue. Mel arrived first and walked down the aisle only to find her future husband absent. She asked, 'Where's my husband? Is he here?' The situation was widely described as 'awkward' by fans, with many taking to social media to express their reactions.
One viewer quipped, 'What did you think you were going to put on your new wife's finger? an onion ring?' Another questioned whether the mishap was a 'producer set up.' The pair's relationship remains uncertain as the season continues.
Married At First Sight Australia airs on E4 at 7.30pm tomorrow.
