Walking down the aisle is perhaps one of the most nerve-wracking things a bride can experience - but just imagine how it feels for your groom to say 'Oh s**t' the minute he lays eyes on you.
Yep, this is what happened to one unfortunate Married At First Sight bride!
For those not in the know, MAFS is a reality dating show that sees relationship experts match complete strangers, who then go on to tie the knot and give things a go in the real world.

While many relationships flourish with the help of the experts, many go down in flames... which brings us to today's cringeworthy story.
In a resurfaced episode from series 5 of Married at First Sight Australia, pub manager Sean Donnelly made a rather rude remark when first seeing - and meeting - his lovely bride, Jo McPharlin.
When Sean saw Jo walking down the aisle in her beautiful dress, instead of being filled with joy, he instead uttered the words ‘Oh s**t’.
And not in a good way.
The moment was, of course, caught on camera - but thankfully, his MAFS bride was seemingly unaware as she looked at him with adoration.

Clearly the attraction was one-sided as she went on to say during the show how glad she was.
Jo said down the line: "My expectations have been met, and then some. To infinity and beyond. Winning! Jackpot! I've won the lotto!"
Sean was bound to get some flack when the public caught a glimpse on their TVs, which led to the pub manager to go on the record with a reason for his reaction.
Speaking to The Fix, he said that a bad break up ten years prior to the wedding was what caused him to react that way, with that experience going on to affect all of his relationships.
The season 5 contestants were an unlikely pairing, with Jo being an outspoken and confident single mum and Sean appearing to be quite a shy guy - but regardless, they did try to make it work.

But tragedy was to strike when Jo decided to end their marriage in an explosive tirade against the relationship experts during filming.
When the mum cornered those who were behind her pairing with Sean, she wasn’t shy to give them a piece of her mind.
She fumed: “I gave up my life, I gave up my kids. My mum gave up her job… I went into this experiment with all my walls down because I wanted it to work so badly.”
“Why did you set us up?” Jo demanded of the three experts.

“Clearly my instructions were strong. We had a big char, you know, about what I wanted and then…this is what I got delivered.”
So, obviously it didn’t end with for the two but with those words at their wedding, are we surprised?
