"One of my bridesmaids received a message on accident -- with your name. I don't know how," Karen revealed to Miles after their wedding ceremony in the clip.
Karen explained the person who sent the message thought the text was going to be delivered to one of Miles' groomsmen, and Miles appeared absolutely shocked.
After finding out Miles' name, Karen admitted to her husband in the clip she had researched him on Instagram and his profile "should really be more private."
"I'm gonna be now! Goodness gracious!" responded Miles, a 26-year-old who works with youth from Spartanburg, SC.
On Unfiltered, Jamie asked Miles how his first conversation with Karen went and whether he felt a connection with her at that time.
"Yeah, I think there's certainly a connection there," Miles said.
Miles admitted he'd probably be "a lot more nervous" standing at the altar had he known that Karen already knew his identity prior to tying the knot.
"I'm glad I didn't know," he pointed out.
"And I'm glad we were able to have the conversation and laugh a little bit and joke," Miles added. "I think she definitely felt a little more comfortable than she had thought."

Miles then gushed about Karen, "I got someone better than I ever could have expected, so I'm grateful to the experts for matching us and you'll have to see what happens next."
Married at First Sight brides Olivia and Amani joined Miles on Unfiltered, and given they were able to watch how nervous and hesitant Karen seemed before walking down the aisle, the girls weighed-in on her first post-wedding chat with Miles over a couple glasses of champagne.
"I think she definitely seemed more comfortable sitting down with Miles and having that one-on-one time," Olivia shared.
"I think it was nice that she let out in the beginning that she knew who he was beforehand. But I definitely think that sitting down and kind of having that deep breath you get to take after you've met your husband, she definitely looked more comfortable."
And Amani agreed, adding that it was "remarkable" Karen chose to stay in the process despite her preconceived notions about Miles, his interests and his personality.
"You know, we dream of this day -- of getting married -- so for her to even put on such grace and meet her husband after being able to google him and have this emotional moment is great," Amani explained.
Finding out Miles' name truly was an emotional moment for Karen, who contemplated dropping out of the Season 11 experiment.

"He seems very emotional. Am I making the biggest mistake of my life here?"
Karen added that she felt like she was just "playing dress-up" and had a lot of uncertainty in regards to, "What am I doing, and why am I doing this?"
Miles said on last week's Unfiltered broadcast that he "would be upset too" had he learned Karen's name prior to the wedding and been able to look her up.
"I would be pissed off if I was Karen as well," Miles said.
But Karen didn't have much luck dating on her own prior to singing up for the experiment. In fact, she had been in a relationship for five years with a man who secretly welcomed a child with another woman while they were together.
Karen therefore chose to trust the Married at First Sight experts, take a leap of faith, and give Miles the chance she hoped he deserved.
And based on Karen's initial impression of Miles on their wedding day, she was glad she decided to marry a stranger!

"When I got to the altar, Miles was handsome in person, and more importantly, he seemed very thoughtful," Karen gushed in her Us Weekly blog after her wedding aired on Lifetime.
After the ceremony, Miles gushed about how awesome, beautiful and sweet Karen seemed to be, and Karen revealed she felt "a lot better" about her choice to marry Miles once the pair got to talk and test their compatibility a little bit.
Karen quickly realized Miles was "a gentleman" who's "really nice and easy to talk to." She also wrote in her blog that Miles made her feel "comfortable" and they had a lot fun together.
"[We] both agreed we were pleasantly surprised by our matches," Karen shared.
