One Married At First Sight star was left absolutely devastated after making a key realisation just before meeting her husband for the vert first time at the altar.
I'm sure everyone and their nan is beyond buzzing to finally get our latest fix of the chaotic reality TV series which is set to hit our screens in just a matter of days next week (16 September).
Now, MAFS is infamously known for its bombshell revelations, bizarre couplings and a whole lot of drama before either bride or groom has even said 'I do' - just look at the whole Kieran and Kristina drama we're yet to see pan out in the upcoming season.

However, as we wait for the next set of hopefully singletons looking for their happily ever after, let's rewind a few years back to previous seasons.
Channel 4 viewers were first introduced to the likes of Amy Christophers who was arguably one of the most unforgettable cast members when she featured on the series back in 2021.
During her stint on the show, she was paired up with Josh Christie and soon became a fan-favourite due to her honest and outspoken nature - especially when it came to her love life.
While the relationship didn't work out in the end between herself and Josh, Amy became hugely successful and cites her appearance on MAFS as paving the way for 'amazing opportunities' in her career.
However, Amy was met with quite the shock after making a pretty major epiphany about the show ahead of her wedding day.
Speaking to Tyla exclusively on behalf of Spin Genie, the sports presenter revealed whether the weddings that we see on the show are legally binding or not.
Lifting the lid on one of the biggest questions surrounding the show's format, she told us simply: "No, they're not, no, which I was quite disappointed in."
Admitting that she 'genuinely' thought it was going to be a real wedding, Amy recalled: "When I was on the phone to the casting team, I was like, 'Okay, well, I've got X amount of my savings, is that gonna be enough?'
"And they were laughing on the phone like, 'Don't worry, we take care of everything'."
Naturally, Amy had questions about the ins and outs of process ahead of filming, even wondering what the deal was with getting a prenup.
However, she was surprised to learn she didn't 'really' need one as she wasn't to be 'signing any paperwork'.
"I was like, 'Oh, but I wanted to be a real wedding'. I was actually quite devastated that it wasn't gonna be a legal wedding," Amy revealed. "I nearly pulled out on the show because I did actually want it to be a legal wedding."
Explaining her reasoning why she was so keen for the wedding to be legally binding, Amy simply told Tyla: "I just thought, well, you know, it'll make it a little bit hard for them to, like, leave me then if they've gotta divorce me."
Fair enough, that.
Married At First Sight UK will air at 9pm next Monday (16 September) on Channel 4.
