Married at First Sight Australia’s latest episode on E4 took a dramatic twist when a groom accidentally dropped his bride during their first dance.
“Warrior” Ryan was quick to apologise to his new wife Jacqui after the mishap, which left their wedding guests speechless.
The couple were seen dancing together, surrounded by delighted friends and family. “I’m going to dip you, ready?” Ryan asked Jacqui as they embarked on their first dance as a married couple.
However, as Ryan dipped her backwards, Jacqui was leaned too far back and fell over dramatically. Ryan ended up dropping Jacqui instead of dipping her, causing him to tumble as well.
In an attempt to save his wife, Ryan lost his footing and landed on top of her. One of the wedding guests exclaimed that he had “ruined everything” before the screen went blank.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer joked: “RyRy the Warrior dropped the ball (and chain! ) Best moment of the series so far.”, reports OK!.
Another commented: “Ryan, you’re that athletic and strong you dropped your wife.”
A third person remarked: “Ryan the “warrior” drops his wife doing a dip on the dance floor and wants the footage left out for HER dignity! ! ! !”
While a fourth social media user wrote: “Ryan dropping Jacqui, omg I’m crying. This guy is comedy gold – he is the actual antithesis of everything he says about himself! !”.
Ryan was subsequently seen pleading with MAFS producers not to broadcast the footage of him dropping Jacqui. He expressed his concerns about the incident being aired during the episode, which was originally shown in Australia back in January.
The flustered groom asked the producer if the moment could be omitted from the final cut. Ryan stated: “Can we potentially discuss afterward, leaving that part out? I’m not thinking of myself, I’m thinking of her.”
The producer responded: “We’ll talk about that later. Let’s get through the rest of the night first.”
Married at First Sight Australia airs Monday to Thursday on E4 at 7.30pm
