During Wednesday night's episode of Married at First Sight: Afterparty, host Keshia Knight Pulliam pointed out how Lindsey had talked to her fellow brides about falling in love with Mark while the cast enjoyed a honeymoon catamaran ride in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
"You said, 'I love Mark,' but you said, 'I'm not going to tell him yet,'" Keshia recalled.
While Lindsey had told her female co-stars that she never would have picked Mark up in a bar, she admitted, "But he's the perfect man for me. I love him. He's The One. That's it."
MAFS star Noi Phommasak therefore asked Lindsey on the latest Season 14 episode, "Did you tell him," to which Lindsey replied, "No, girl, I've got to keep some secrets! Come on, please!"
Lindsey, however, shared with Keshia on Afterparty how she did, in fact, tell Mark how she was feeling about him during their honeymoon.
"I told him on the bus ride back after that [catamaran], because I remember when I was upset, he sat with me on the side and he was just really comforting," Lindsey explained.
"And I was on the bus ride home and I was like, 'I think I just love you and I'm going to support you,' and he was like, '[Wow] already?!'"
Lindsey laughed and confirmed how that was the quickest she's ever said "I love you" to a man.

"I'm definitely not somebody who would say it first and I'm usually [like Steve Moy], where they say, 'I love you,' and then I'm like, 'Thanks! I'll get back to you in three to five business days.'"

While Lindsey suggested her love profession to Mark was a happy moment, it also provides more context to her subsequent fight with Mark, when he essentially asked his wife to slow her roll.
It's clear Lindsey had told Mark that she loved him before he attempted to pump the brakes on their relationship, and that's probably why she got so heated and upset during their "romantic" dinner out.
Mark explained on Wednesday night's Season 14 episode how he and Lindsey had a lot in common but her fights with other cast members were affecting their opportunities to just bond and get to know each other better.
"It's like I can't breathe. I'm just trying to digest it," Mark said, adding how he didn't want to rush things.
"I want to go slow in the process... I want it to flow organically."
Mark said he felt like he was drowning in the chaos Lindsey sparked, and he seemed to want to slow down the physical aspect of their relationship -- without coming right out and saying they had consummated their marriage already.
Lindsey pointed out how Mark had initiated the intimacy to begin with, and she said, "I can pull back, but I pull way back. I pull all the way back. There is no in between for me."

Lindsey complained to Mark, "You're giving me full frontal you -- chewing with your mouth open, farting with the door open. If you're telling me you want to get to know each other less and slow down, then take that note for yourself as well. I'm matching you."
Lindsey found herself frustrated and mad, saying she never would have had sex with Mark had she known he felt that way.
Mark said he just didn't want Lindsey to operate with the highest of energy at all times, but she was clearly offended and stormed away from their conversation and the dinner table.
"There is zero romance and I am ready for bed," Lindsey told her husband.
Lindsey later scolded Mark for wanting to change the nature of their relationship when they had already jumped in head-first, but Mark insisted he just needed more time to process things.
Lindsey sarcastically thanked Mark for a romantic dinner and said Mark had "really screwed up." Lindsey didn't want to talk to Mark or work things out, and she called him "a stupid idiot" for not knowing how his words would affect their future.
Married at First Sight's fourteenth season, which currently airs on Wednesday nights at 8PM ET/PT on Lifetime, also stars Noi and Steve Moy, Michael Morency and Jasmina Outar, Olajuwon Dickerson and Katina Goode, and Alyssa Ellman and Chris Collette.
