In the latest episode of 'Married at First Sight', we finally see the last set of couples tie the knot and let's just say it was incredibly awkward to watch. When experts paired 28-year-old Haley with 38-year-old Jacob, fans weren't entirely convinced about the two, seeing that they did have a 10-year age gap. It didn't help that the two seemed rather different. While Haley is extremely adventurous, Chris is still stuck in the '80s.

In this episode, we saw the couple finally walk down the aisle. It was a little odd to watch as Jacob didn't even seem to crack a smile. Interestingly, they did keep their vows a little funny -- it definitely sounded like dry humor, which might just be this couple's brand. Even after their ceremony, the two seemed to struggle to find things to talk about -- it didn't help that when producers asked Haley what she liked about her new husband, her response was a short silence, followed by an "I don't know".

Jacob seemed thrown off by the fact that his new wife skydives for fun, while Haley wasn't exactly sure how to react to her husband being someone who enjoys geeky, nerdy things. The two really seem to be struggling to find common ground, apart from the fact that they both are dog owners and homeowners.

Fans found the whole ordeal painful to watch and took to Twitter to talk about it. "Jacob at the altar. Poor thing was a ball of nerves! #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" referring to the fact that Jacob didn't even crack a smile when he saw his new bride walk down the aisle. "This dance between Jacob and Haley is...well they have zero chemistry, huh? Is it possible to have negative chemistry, bc, if so, that's what they have. #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" said another, referring to their rather rigid first dance.

"Ok, at least the conversation did get better but however they are so uncomfortable which is understandable but damn, please try to lose up. Honestly I though Erik and Virginia would be the awkward ones. #MAFS #MAFSATL #MarriedAtFirstSight" pointed another seeing that the two looked so uncomfortable. "This is a painfully awkward first conversation. I want to jump in and help Jake break the ice. #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" said another.



 



 



 



 

Some fans were on team Jacob, seeing that they found his awkwardness endearing at best. "I'll just say this, the awkward ones are always the ones who work out on this show so I aint even got anything bad to say #MarriedAtFirstSight #MAFS" said a fan, clearly rooting for the couple. "Jake is so awkward I’m finding it endearing. #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight" said another. "He is! I’m gonna give them time bc they may work. Since he’s a hermit he probably needs someone with an outgoing personality to balance him out and Haley seems fun #MAFS #MarriedAtFirstSight" agreed another, saying that the couple just need time. 



 



 



 

Looks like only time will tell if this couple has what it takes to make it works. We can't wait to see how this plays out. Catch new episodes of 'Married At First Sight' on Lifetime on Wednesday at 8/7c. For more information, check your local listings.
