In the clip, Mindy revealed to her sister that their parents are “not supporting [the marriage] at all.”

She cried: “This is supposed to be the happiest day of my life.

“What if I look around and his family is there supporting him and I meet them and everything. I’m going to be embarrassed.”

In a home video from one day before, Mindy broke down in tears as she revealed her “sh***y” day.

She explained: “My dad thinks this is such a dumb idea and it’s just not fair because this could really be the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

The ice skating coach added: "I’m so disappointed.”

Mindy’s bio revealed she was “instilled with a strong moral compass and taught by her parents that family is everything.”

Her description continued: "Even though her parents divorced when she was 10 years old, Mindy believes in love more than ever.

"Mindy has spent most of her life dating the wrong guys and is ready for her fairytale ending."

As for Zach, he was “raised with traditional Southern values.”

The lifestyle business owner’s bio continued: “Family is a top priority for him and even though his parents divorced and each remarried, their relationship has not affected his outlook on love as he’s witnessed them learn and grow from their past.”

 

The couple joins Katie and Derek, Jessica and Austin, Taylor and Brandon, and Meka and Michael.

This season’s experts are Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Pastor Calvin Roberson and Dr. Viviana Coles.
The new season of Married at First Sight airs Wednesday, January 1 at 8/7c on Lifetime.
