Married at First Sight alum Amani Rashid-Smith has revealed her regrets about getting married to a stranger, who ended up being Woody Randall, on the show's eleventh season.

Amani, a 29-year-old non-profit worker who was raised in Chicago, IL, and Woody, a 30-year-old teacher and coach from New Orleans, were matched by Married at First Sight experts Pastor Calvin Roberson, Dr. Pepper Schwartz and Dr. Viviana Coles to wed on Season 11 of the Lifetime reality series.

After a whopping four months of marriage -- the longest process in Married at First Sight history due to New Orleans' stay-at-home order amid the coronavirus pandemic -- Woody and Amani chose to stay together on "Decision Day" and continue their marriage with the hope of a bright future together and growing more in love.

And during the reunion special that aired in late October, Woody got down on one knee and presented Amani with an engagement ring to signify his love for her and their lifelong commitment.

In a lengthy YouTube video the couple posted recently, happily-married Amani discussed whether she has any regrets about getting married at first sight.

After Woody pointed out he has no regrets in life, Amani shared, "I don't have any regrets in particular."

"I would say like the only thing I regret is not immediately, like, jumping in head first with Woody. Like, on Day 1," Amani continued.

Woody flashed a bit of a satisfied and cocky expression, which made Amani tell her husband, "Chill, because you wasn't jumped all the way in on Day 1! You didn't tell me everything on your heart and soul."

Woody joked that he couldn't tell Amani everything because he didn't have enough time in one day to share everything with her about himself.

"We stayed up all night and talked," Amani noted.

"It wasn't enough time to run through 30 years of life," Woody said.

"I don't think you would've given me all of that on Day 1," Amani insisted.

"If we had the time, I would have told you it all," Woody argued.

Amani pointed out, however, Woody was nervous at times to tell her things and fully open up.

"In the past, you've said, 'I've been nervous to tell you about X, Y or Z,' because of not knowing how I would react to certain things," Amani said.

"I take a slow approach to saying things -- but I say everything," Woody noted. "You may not catch everything but I say everything."

Amani then got back on track and said, "I don't think we would've given everything on Day 1 and I wish that I would've Day 1 just spilled everything and been ready to receive the love and give the love -- everything -- on Day 1 of walking down the aisle."

Amani apparently wishes she had been less "reserved" and spent less time on "feeling it out."

"I [wish I was just] like, 'This is my person, and let's go with it,'" she elaborated.

Amani also told her fans that she wishes she had experienced a little more sexually prior to signing up for Married at First Sight.

"I never said this before on-camera, but I wish that I had been more free sexually before  I started this experience," Amani revealed.

"I feel like me just being able to be free and then come into a marriage and being able to express that freedom a little bit easier I think would've been cool."

Woody, on the other hand, couldn't think of anything in particular because he said he's "experienced a lot of things" in life prior to the show.

Also during the YouTube video, Amani and Woody shared an update on where their relationship stands now as well as whether they met each other prior to their wedding day.

In addition, Amani and Woody revealed whether they'd be up for a little matchmaking with Married at First Sight Season 11 co-stars Henry Rodriguez and Olivia Cornu.

Amani and Woody had a very heartfelt and emotional interaction on "Decision Day" when they opted to remain spouses on Married at First Sight.

Woody said he used to look at love as a thing or a person but being with Amani made him view it as consistency, security and safety. Woody said Amani gave him everything that he ever wanted.

In turn, Amani said she learned "love really can be unconditional" and she never thought she'd be able to find that with a partner.

Woody said he looked forward to a house, kids and a dog with his wife, and Amani felt she had "won."

On Married at First Sight's Season 11 reunion special, Amani revealed her plans to take Woody's last name, and the pair were still experiencing "honeymoon vibes" after more than six months of marriage.

Woody then got down on one knee and told Amani, "I signed on. I never thought I'd get a life partner, you know? I've been holding this in for so long. Yes, they matched us. But honestly, I really do love you, for real."

"I just can't see you outside of my life," he added in tears. "So, I got this thing customized for you."

Woody presented Amani with a diamond engagement ring, and she started to cry.

"I'm sweating, I'm shaking, I'm nervous. Will you accept this from me? I know the show gave you a ring, but I think that you'll care more about it because it's actually from me for my reasoning, for our life," Woody said.

"Thank you! I do! Again," Amani replied, before hugging her husband. "I love you too."

Amani was so glad she was no longer by herself and Woody did everything he could to show how much he cared. She called her relationship "the definition of a fairy tale."
