Married At First Sight viewers were left speechless as bride Shona professed her love for her groom just hours after meeting him.
Newlyweds on Reality TV
Performing arts teacher Shona, 31, and her groom Brad tied the knot as complete strangers in the latest episode of MAFS UK.
From Strangers to Lovers?
The couple seemed to have an instant connection, but Shona took things to the extreme.
In Love at First Sight
Gathering her bridesmaids around her, Shona exclaimed, "Guys, I'm in love."
A Protective Friend
However, Shona's close friend Joanna was less than impressed and rolled her eyes at the confession.
Joanna's Concerns
"Because Shona falls so madly deeply in love, I feel very protective over her," Joanna explained. "I just want her to make sure she gets to know him before she gets into that headspace, which she is already in that headspace. I know she is."
Fans React on Social Media
Viewers were as surprised as Joanna and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Twitter Reactions
One viewer used a red flag emoji and wrote, "Shona is in love already?!"
Another echoed the sentiment, saying, "Did she just say she was in love???"
A third added sarcastically, "Chill out Shona, wait at least a few hours to fall in love."
And a fourth commented, "Shona loves her husband already?? A sense a massive bunny boiler."
A Difficult Past
Earlier in the episode, Shona shared that she had a challenging teenage experience, including bullying and struggling with bulimia as a result.
Overcoming Challenges
She explained that she has since turned to meditation and yoga to improve her mental health and overall positivity.
"I put a lot of effort and thought into my own mental health," Shona said. "Yoga Oracle cards, my crystals. Just feeling calm and making that space makes me feel much more positive about everything."
Spirituality and Connection
Meanwhile, Brad, a model, revealed that he is also a spiritual person and practices meditation and healing work with crystals.
Brad's Mum's Approval
Brad's mother was impressed by Shona and expressed her delight at the reception, saying, "They are absolutely besotted." She continued, "If I was to pick the perfect daughter-in-law, Shona is definitely the girl I would pick. She's lovely. I think this will be the real thing."
