A bride who took part in a reality show where she first met her groom at the altar had a pretty explicit reaction when she saw him for the first time.

Getting married is exciting, but it can be equally as terrifying. You’ve met this stranger and decided to spend the rest of your life with them.

Hopefully, before you take that plunge you’ve got to know them first and are quite fond of them.

But what if the first time you ever meet your spouse is when you tie the knot at the altar?

Well, Married at First Sight is a reality show that offers that exact experience, and it makes for some great viewing.

A recent incident occurred on Married At First Sight UK and let’s just say a prank went horribly wrong.

In a clip shared by E4, fans got a glimpse of a cringe-worthy wedding moment between Kieran Chapman, a 28-year-old mechanic, and Kristina Goodsell, 30.

As Kieran waited at the altar, he donned a set of false, broken, and rotting teeth to greet his soon-to-be wife.

Flashing the unsightly teeth and speaking in a garbled voice, he asked her: “Are you alright, are you OK? What’s your name?”

Kristina, approaching with a smile, was visibly taken aback. Her reaction, captured in a voiceover, was a quick: “What the f**k?”

Explaining his reasoning for the prank, Kieran said: “I think the teeth could make us look a little bit immature. I’m a little bit nervous to see how it goes. This could really end up bad. I just want to know if this girl’s fun.

The stunt has divided viewers, with many calling it inappropriate for such a significant moment.

“Being able to take a joke is very different from putting up with immaturity. I think that’s hilarious but definitely isn’t appropriate under those circumstances,” one person commented.

Another viewer was more blunt: “The fact he would do that is an instant ick.”

A third added: “No thanks! Reminds me of something my ex would do, and that’s why he’s my ex! Constantly p*ssing around and loving being the center of attention.”

The clip has sparked online debate over whether a wedding ceremony – especially one involving strangers – should be the setting for pranks.

While some viewers appreciated the lighthearted attempt to ease nerves, most agreed that the stunt wasn’t the right move.

The moment has been labeled “cheap behavior” by some, with others questioning if Kieran’s sense of humor will clash with Kristina’s expectations for their marriage.
