They don't! Wedding of former contestants Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul is FAKE on Bachelor In Paradise's season premiere as it is revealed nuptials aren't legal

They said 'I do' in the opening episode of the new season of Bachelor in Paradise.

But it was actually a case of 'I don't' as according to TMZ  Marcus Grodd and Lacy Faddoul did not actually have a legally binding ceremony on the show.

The website said on Tuesday that their emotional beach nuptials in front of the new cast on the reality series didn't have a marriage licence in either Mexico or the U.S.

And it is actually going to be problematic for the pair to tie the knot any time soon as Marcus is currently finishing Coast Guard training. 

Viewers saw the couple take to the sands near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on Sunday in the season premiere of the show, resplendent in their wedding outfits.

The surprise nuptials were officiated by Chris Harrison

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.'

'Neither of you found it, but you were each given a second chance and you both came to paradise to seek out love again and there you found it.

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

This season's contestants - who had not been warned that the wedding was taking place, wiped away tears as Marcus and Lacy shared their first kiss as husband and wife.

'Seeing that wedding gave me hope,' said Jared Haibon, who was rejected by Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe just months earlier. 

'There's nothing more than I’d like than to come back a year from now and get married to a girl I love.'

Marcus and Lacy fell in love on the first season of Bachelor in Paradise and got engaged after Marcus proposed during the season finale.
