A wedding ceremony was called off before the couple had chance to say ‘I do’ on popular E4 show Married At First Sight Australia. The festivities were cancelled amid bad weather moments after the bride and groom met for the first time at the alter.
Lucinda from Byron Bay was matched with Tim, making them one of the first couples to be married on the latest series of the hit E4 show. Tim wasn’t too sure he and his new wife were well matched.
He said: “She is a great-looking girl, she had a great smile and a great-looking dress. I am getting the sense that she is a spiritual energy type of person which is very different.”

As rain began to fall, he added: “I was waiting for something to fall out the sky and hit me, it was like all my prayers had been answered. The first couple of drops I thought we could last this out, then when it just started belting with rain – everybody went nuts.”
Lucinda and Tim’s wedding guests were seen running away from their seats as they tried to find shelter from the storm. One guest commented: “That better not be an omen,” while another held onto a pregnant woman and quipped: “She is going to have her baby!”
Tim went on to say: “Maybe it was the big fella up there just saying ‘Hey take five’, which I really appreciated.” It was the first time in Married At First Sight history that a wedding had been called off halfway through, The Mirror reports.
Despite the shock turn of the weather, Lucinda didn’t seem phased. When asked if it was what she expected of her big day, she said: “I think it is better, all the elements came out the rain and the wind. Apparently, it is good luck and I am rolling with that.”
The sun made a reappearance and they were able to start over again. “Nothing about this day has been normal but you can see that she has just got a great heart,” Tim said.
One viewer commented: “Timothy has been left totally speechless and overwhelmed by Lucinda. And mother nature set in. I mean didn’t they see the weather before they decided on venue for marriage ceremony.” Another wrote: “Lucinda’s witchcraft caused a terrible change in the weather. This can not be a good omen!”
