Jamie Otis Instagram – We just started watching our season of Married At First Sight for the first time in almost 10 years and it makes us laugh!😂 Me saying “I’m not kissing him” on our wedding day.🤪😅 And my new stranger groom—the man who just became my legal husband—winking outta both eyes knowing he’ll end up getting his bride to kiss him!😂
This reel would last forever if I shared all the times I’ve kissed him over the last 9 1/2 years.😘
I’ll spare ya the gazillion pics of us kissing, but I gotta tell ya the story behind why I said “I’m not kissing him.”
If you’re wondering who I was talking to – it was the producer.
I went into this scientifically arranged marriage with a hopeful heart that we’d have instant chemistry & attraction. When it wasn’t there I didn’t wanna have to pretend it just bc we were filming it for all of America to see.
The photographer and producers were kinda posing us for our wedding photos. They asked me to sit on his lap. I thought they were trying to get me to pretend like I was this happily married bride. I wasn’t going to fake it just because we were making a tv show. I couldn’t have phoned it in if I’d tried.🤦🏼♀️🤪😅
I was honestly terrified that I’d just made a huge mistake by marrying a stranger. A friend told me that getting married at first sight would make a mockery of marriage & when there was no initial spark I felt like “oh no!” They’re right! I am making a mockery of marriage!”😢
While the whole world hated me for my reaction to my sweet hubby, @doughehner told me that my brutal honesty was actually what drew me to him. He *liked* that I wasn’t hamming it up & pretending for the cameras. He said he knew then that I was “there for the right reasons”
God works in mysterious ways bc I don’t know any other man who would look at it like that. Most would’ve taken it as a huge blow to their ego. But Doug’s the most patient, confident man.🙏🏼❤️
We haven’t watched our season of MAFS in so long! But we figured since our 10 year is coming up we gotta re-watch it together now.
Who would’ve thought we’d make it together all these years later.💕
Have you ever watched how my hubby and I got married? Dare I ask-what were your thoughts?🫣 | Posted on 28/Jan/2024 08:07:28
