Two contestants from last season's Bachelor in Paradise became husband and wife as the second series of the reality TV show got underway.

Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul tied the knot in a surprise wedding officiated by Chris Harrison, which aired during the season two premiere on Sunday night.

There was not a dry eye on the beach as the host told them: 'You both came on the Bachelor and Bachelorette seeking the most important thing in the world - love.'

'There were ups and downs, trials and tribulations and you’ve come through to this day, back in Mexico where it all began.'
