Married at First Sight star Krysten has revealed that her groom Mitch seemed overwhelmed during their wedding ceremony and therefore displayed some "Mitchisms."

Krysten, a 32-year-old sales representative, and Mitch, a 41-year-old environmental policy advocate, were matched by Married at First Sight experts Pastor Calvin Roberson and Dr. Pepper Schwartz to wed on Season 15 of the Lifetime reality series, which filmed in San Diego, CA.

During the July 20 episode of Married at First Sight: Afterparty, Krysten watched back a Season 15 clip of her wedding day.
"Mitch is a very passionate person, especially when it comes to saving the planet," the officiant reveals during the couple's wedding ceremony. "We hope you're ready to say goodbye to single-use plastics and find the joy in preserving our planet."

"I recycle!" Krysten announces.
Krysten cracked up laughing when watching the footage back, and Afterparty host Keshia Knight Pulliam asked Krysten what she was thinking in that moment, after seeing Mitch for the first time.
"Gosh, Keshia, well, you know, it's feeling so crazy. It's such a rush! I am so excited. There is a lot of single-use plastic talk about. It was just beautiful to me," Krysten shared.
Krysten said while standing next to Mitch at the altar, she was feeling "so excited."
"My family is, like, shouting and I'm feeling from him that maybe he's nervous," Krysten revealed of Mitch's vibe during the ceremony.

"[I thought], 'Maybe he is thinking a lot of thoughts. He seems kind of quiet.' But I'm thinking, 'There's cameras, he's meeting so many people he's never met before,' and so I'm not reading too much into it."
But Krysten confirmed she was "starting to pick up that maybe he is overwhelmed."
"I call them 'Mitchisms,'" Krysten said with a laugh.

When asked if Mitch -- who was sporting a Band-Aid on his bald head with a shorter beard than he had hoped -- is what she envisioned her husband looking like, Krysten replied, "In terms of looks, I'm thinking, 'He's tall, he has a nice beard.'"

Krysten said she actually "didn't really notice" the bandage on the top of Mitch's head.
"I saw it but I didn't want to embarrass him. I thought, 'You know what? We'll get to it.' But it turned out a couple days prior, he had gotten into a pretty severe surfing accident where he had hit his head on some rocks," Krysten explained.
"And he had, like, an open wound. So I thought, 'Let's keep the Band-Aid on! We'll keep it covered!'"
Fellow Married at First Sight Season 15 star Justin joined Krysten on Afterparty and shared his opinion of Krysten and Mitch as a newly married couple.
"Mitch is a different breed, let me tell you," Justin admitted. "I love Mitch and Krysten. I think they're a very, in a positive way, a very awkward couple. But I think they're a good match."

While Krysten and Mitch's wedding was a success, Mitch lost his cool a couple of times prior to the ceremony while getting dressed in his hotel room. A hairstylist cut Mitch's beard too short for his liking, which caused him to lash out at his groomsmen, and he also became flustered and annoyed when he couldn't tie his bow tie.
Krysten, however, said on Afterparty, "I can't be knocked off my high horse."
"I'm excited. I got married!" she added. "So the red flags are just raining down upon me and I'm doing snow angels in them. I don't care!"
Krysten said she wasn't going to judge Mitch on a first impression because she wanted to give him "a true solid chance."

Another red flag may have been the moment when Mitch thought Krysten's mother -- who dressed in a sexy, hot pink, cleavage-baring dress on her daughter's wedding day -- was his bride.
After exchanging sweet self-written vows and sharing a kiss at the altar during the wedding ceremony, Krysten gushed, "I love it. [There is] 100 percent attraction and chemistry right off the bat. I am like hot for him, for real. I am!"
But when a friend asked Mitch if he was happy with his wife, he looked like a deer in headlights and replied, "It's a little early."
Mitch told the cameras, "At first glance, I thought she was really pretty, but I wasn't right off the bat attracted to her because my type is less physical and more lifestyle. She maybe seems a little more mainstream than me."
"I'm much more attracted to a woman in her natural state than super dolled up for a wedding," he continued. "I don't want to take anything away from the fact she looked amazing and really lovely, but I want to see the more natural side... I'm happy I think she likes me."
He added, "My hope for the future is that we really hit it off and that this little spark grows."

Mitch didn't seem to have confidence that his marriage would work out long-term.
"I just need to take it day by day and relax," Mitch said, adding how he used to project everything he wanted a woman to be on his girlfriend and then that person would end up disappointing him.
"It's my fault because I made them up to be something that they're not, so I'm trying not to fall into that trap."
Krysten, however, was pretty smitten, and she thought that she could potentially fall in love with Mitch.
Krysten's mother, on the other hand, was apparently worried about Mitch's "environmental extremism" and how he said he measures success through his impact on the world rather than through income or wealth. Krysten's mom wanted her daughter and new son-in-law to have similar life goals.
Married at First Sight's currently-airing season on Lifetime also stars Justin and Alexis, Stacia and Nate, Morgan and Binh, and Lindy and Miguel.
