Emma and Caspar were paired together by the experts as part of the experiment.
Gardener Caspar said that he did find his new bride attractive, but she also reminded him of his twin sister.
Meanwhile Emma made it quite clear that she was happy with her new man.
This evening's instalment of the show sees a number of the couples head off on their honeymoons.
More on MAFS
At the end of last night's episode, the show teased what viewers can expect - and Emma is left in tears after a chat with her new husband.
In one scene Emma tells Caspar: "I'm a size 14. I'm not a f***ing monster."
She later spoke to camera and said: "It's a shame that I'm not attractive to the person I've married."
Caspar added to the camera: "I want love and it's nowhere fucking close."

Viewers have been left fuming over what they've seen so far.
One wrote on X: "Not Casper commenting on Emma’s weight when he said himself he’s always been made to feel like shit about his body!!
"This man went from a green flag to a red flag in two episodes, that must be some kind of record! #MAFSUK."

Another added: "#mafsuk wtf has Mr Red Flag said for his wife to be crying saying 'I'm a size 14 I'm not a monster'."
During Caspar's VT he opened up about his own struggles with his body image.
But it's not the first time he has been labelled a red flag.
Caspar clashed with his sister Daisy during the first episode of the show.
He said: "Emma is full of energy, big smile, really big laugh, beautiful dazzling woman....but if I'm being completely honest, she very much reminds me of my sister... who I hate.
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
"Daisy’s the only person in my life who drives me around the f**king bend.
"She’s the one person in my life who, if you want to see me angry, it can take her under 30 seconds to drive me up the wall."
There was evidence of this abrasive dynamic when the siblings sat down, alongside their mum, to discuss Caspar's new wife.
"For me, the only thing I haven't got right now is wanting to rip her clothes off," said Caspar.

Daisy replied: "Don't say that out loud. Don't do that to her."
Frustrated, Caspar hit back: "Daisy, I'm not going to say it. F**k sake. I'm trying to talk to you. Just back off."
