Viewers were quick to share their reactions to the awkward moment online, with many saying the same thing. One person, formerly known as X, wrote on Twitter: “Most girls don’t want to hear ‘I love you’ Arthur, they want to be loved. Very different.”
Another said: “Laura and Arthur’s wedding is giving me secondhand embarrassment,” while a third agreed: “When Arthur said ‘I love you’ I almost DIED.”
A fourth found the ordeal hilarious and tweeted: “On the floor Arthur why with google vows #MAFSUK”, followed by a series of smiley emoticons, while a fifth commented: “I’m cringing omg why did he say that?”

Arthur is a 34-year-old tennis coach who was born in Poland before being brought to England by his mother and stepfather. E4’s press release said: “Although he likes to keep a room, Arthur is ready for that committed, loving relationship and wants the fairy tale he’s dreamed of since he was a boy.”
Laura, on the other hand, is a 34-year-old financial manager from Hampshire who is described as a lover of the finer things in life. “She knows what she does and doesn’t want in life since her ex-partner broke up unexpectedly.
“But Laura is not giving up on love and is ready to commit herself fully to the experiment and hopefully leave the process with the love of her life. ‘Let’s get married – second time around?’
Fans can expect more drama as the series progresses. “Couples will make lifelong vows to each other in a glamorous ceremony, overseen by a wedding celebrant, that includes guests, wedding dresses, dancing, speeches and cake,” reads the synopsis.

“After the ceremony and celebrations are over, true love is put to the test as they embark on a luxurious honeymoon before moving in with each other AND their partners.
“Relationships will be put under the microscope, by other brides and grooms at weekly dinners – as well as by experts, at recurring vow ceremonies, where couples choose whether to stay or leave the process.”
