Married At First Sight bride Beth Moore breaks down after she is paired with Russell Duance

Married At First Sight bride Beth Moore broke down in tears after marrying Russell Duance on Sunday night.

The 39-year-old was overcome with emotion while taking her wedding photos after tying the knot in front of no friends or family due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.

After posing for the pictures on the sand, an emotional Beth told producers: ‘This is not what I was expecting.’

The retail worker then broke down as she admitted she didn’t feel a connection to Russell, 37.

‘I feel like a sh*t person because I don’t have that feeling that I wanted to have,’ Beth said.

She continued: ‘It’s just so early and obviously my emotions are heightened because of all these expectations.’

‘It’s not anything that he has done wrong or who he is. He seems like a great person. He has been a true gentleman.’

‘I was just hoping for that automatic connection, but let’s just see what happens from here.’

Beth, who is from Western Australia, and Russell, who resides in South Australia, tied the knot but no guests were able to attend their wedding due to border restrictions.

After walking down the aisle, Beth admitted: ‘He seems lovely but he is not the type of guy I’d normally go for.’

Meanwhile, the wedding was filmed on a Sydney beach in September last year, when state borders were closed.

As a result, the couple’s friends and family were unable to attend the ceremony and the reception. 

Married At First Sight continues Monday from 7:30pm on Channel Nine
