'Married At First Sight': Are Clara and Ryan off to a bad start? Fans are not happy with her ‘pig Latin’ comment
The latest episode of 'Married At First Sight' had the couples finally walking down the aisle and saying the big 'I DO'. Weddings are never easy, and imagine the added pressure when you don't know who is waiting for you at the altar. Clara was definitely feeling the pressure, seeing that she was convinced nothing was going quite right before her big day. She was thoroughly upset over the fact that her dress was not the right length. To top it off, Ryan suggested that they wear blindfolds, which stressed her out even more. Clara was extremely jittery until she made her way to the altar.
But upon seeing Ryan, her worries seemed to ease. With Ryan's deeply emotional vows, the couple seemed to get along well enough. Post the wedding, the two shared a glass of champagne and Clara asked the most important question — what's her new last name? Ryan explained that it's 'Oubre', seeing that his family is French Creole (Ryan's family is from New Orleans). Clara comments that she was hoping for something simple, like Smith or Black. She made a comment that Oubre sounds like pig Latin. Fans were quick to take to Twitter to call her out on that comment in particular because they were not having it.

Oubre is one of the easiest Creole names to pronounce. She could be marrying an Atchafalaya lol. #MAFS

Fans are still on the fence about these two, and Clara isn't winning any brownie points with her 'pig Latin' comment. Will they brave it all and make it out on top? Only time will tell.
