Not only did Chris mention Paige's behind multiple times, but his father Christopher also commented on how Paige "has a nice shape."
"Yeeeaaah. I'm not going to lie, some of the conversations that were made with me and without me did make me feel a little uncomfortable," Paige admitted to MadameNoire in a recent interview.
When Paige got to sit down and have a chat with her new father-in-law at the wedding reception, Christopher revealed "the master key" for his son is the touch of his wife after a long day of work.
"He wants to be intimate with his wife, and he doesn't want that to be once a month. Once you understand and grow together, he wants that to be pretty consistent," Christopher explained to Paige.
"Once you work and give out, you want to receive back. He's not really complicated -- being nonargumentative in being intimate."
Paige responded, "No I get it," and seemed a little bothered and frustrated.
Paige told MadameNoire, "I think overall, his family means very well, but some of the conversations that were had when I wasn't present in the room made me a little uncomfortable than anything as it pertained to me and my body."
When Chris talked to Paige's bridesmaids at the wedding reception, he admitted that Paige is "the opposite" of the women he was used to dating before signing up to marry a stranger on Married at First Sight's twelfth season.

Chris said he had dated mostly "trophy wives" and Paige did not fit that description in his mind, although she has "the body of a goddess, for sure."

"Paige is probably the woman I need but not the woman I wanted," Chris confessed to Paige's bridesmaids.
Paige told MadameNoire she believed her bridesmaids had shown "extreme grace" in those conditions with Chris.
"They had literally just met this man the exact same time I did. Going into the wedding, I let my family know, 'This is an unorthodox situation for both parties. Let's show grace and be compassionate because we don't know these people and I do want them to feel welcomed,'" Paige recalled.
"So even though his commentary was distasteful, I feel like they were giving him ample amount of time to explain himself further. I think the bigger part of it is, it still was my wedding day and they wanted to be as respectful as possible and they didn't want to dim my light because of everything that they heard."
Paige continued, "[But] Chris didn't give me any direct indication that there was no interest until the following day."
Paige ended up sleeping with Chris both on her wedding night and the next morning.
Much to Paige's surprise and dismay, Chris confessed to his wife after their sexual encounters that he was not attracted to her.

When Paige met up with Chris' in-laws for brunch that day, she explained her predicament and how she had been feeling so confused about Chris' mixed signals.
Christopher told the cameras he was proud to have raised "a gentleman" considering Chris had been straightforward with his feelings and didn't try to be secretive or deceptive in his marriage to Paige.
Christopher commended Chris on being honest and upfront, but as viewers saw in a recent Married at First Sight episode, Paige had to pry Chris' feelings out of him.
"What's more important is that when we had the conversation at brunch -- kind of just holding Chris accountable -- because his father was deeming his behavior as 'gentleman-like,'" Paige told MadameNoire.
"That was the triggering word for me. Like, 'My son is a gentleman.'... Oh, okay."
Paige seemed extremely hurt Chris had decided to sleep with her when he knew what she looked like.
But Chris explained to his father, "Going in, I wasn't planning on having sex with her, but I felt like maybe having sex with her would bring this closeness to her... maybe I would generate some type of attraction [or connection]... but I was wrong. There was nothing there."
Chris told the cameras he felt "embarrassed" Paige had discussed their sex life with his family.
Despite a terrible start to their wedding, Paige was determined to give her marriage a chance and try to make things work as the pair headed off to their honeymoon in Las Vegas.
