Shaquille is a God-fearing PhD candidate who believes he is ready for marriage since he is in a good place in both his job and his personal life. He has been in treatment for several years and is seeking a lady that is as ambitious as he is.

On Wednesday's episode, fans witnessed Shaquille's first look at his wife, and it's evident that he's pleased, so much so that he falls speechless. "Kirsten, meet, for the very first time, your husband Shaquille," says the wedding officiant. Shaquille then busts out laughing, catching Kirsten off guard. "What?" she inquires. "Something you wanna say?"

Shaquille stated that he was taken aback by how stunning his wife is. "God knew what he was doing when he made you," the groom added to chuckles from the audience.

Shaquille clearly loves what he sees, but does Kirsten?

While Kirsten and Shaquille's wedding is airing, spectators see that Kirsten does not appear to be overjoyed about her marriage. "He's bald, and he's younger than me, so that's two strikes," the bride ultimately says of her new husband. He has nice teeth and his personality definitely outweighs his looks," says Kirsten.

Calling her 'mean', a viewer tweeted, "Kirsten. Be real girlfriend… Shaw is cute, smart, and full of personality. You are mean and have no personality. count your blessings you got Shaq!" Predicting what's to come next, another person wrote, "I just feel like there’s gonna be some spicy, sass flying back and forth between Kirsten and Shaq." A third person added, "Kirsten: “His personality definitely outweighs his EXTERIOR LOOKS”?? Yea this bout to be a shit show." Another viewer quipped, "Kirsten: “He’s bald, AND he’s younger than me. So that’s TWO strikes” Shaq got one more strike, ya’ll."

Labeling this match as 'awkward' a viewer tweeted, "Shaquille lucked up and I feel so bad for him cause I know this not finna end well lolllllllllll this is so awkward!!!" Based on their first looks, a person wrote, "Shaquille seems smitten; Kirsten, not so much." Calling her out for denying his first kiss, another person added, "Kirsten is not attracted to Shaquille. I sense that he’s not her type. BUT GIRLLLL, youse #MarriedAtFirstSight now!! The cheek hug instead of a kiss for Shaq, forthcoming in." Fans worried if this will work, "Kristen just dry with the words and expressions on her face. Shaquille I’m sorry,ik u wanted this to work but it doesn’t seems like it’s gona work."
