Well that’s what a few single men and women across the UK are doing all
in pursuit of true love… and for a reality TV show.
‘Married At First Sight’ is the controversial TV program that first
found success in Denmark and America last year. It begins here in the UK
tomorrow night at 9pm, and follows the stories of single British men and women,
all of whom have agreed to walk down the aisle with someone they have never met
in the hope of finding someone special.
At the risk of sounding like my Nannan, it’s the sort of thing that you
hear about happening in Vegas, but this is no Little White Wedding Chapel involving
alcohol and Elvis. No, this is central London and all participants will be
indeed sober and signing their romantic futures away for the reality television
show.
We say controversial because although modern marriage may come in all
shapes and sizes, many feel tying the knot with someone you’ve just met on
national television is disrespectful, and making a mockery of the sanctity of
this ancient tradition.
Each ‘couple’ have been specially selected after weeks of rigorous tests
- recording everything from their DNA to intelligence, relationship history and
physical well being by a panel of experts, including a vicar and social anthropologist.
Gone are the days of Take Me Out where all the contestants have to do is
go on a mini break, now they are vowing to spend the rest of their lives together
- it sounds like a nightmarish social experiment but we’re sure it’s going to
make for an interesting watch.
Forget commitment, romance and a faithful, loving relationship —
instead, why not put on a big, white dress, invite your nearest and dearest and
make a binding vow to someone you just clapped eyes on barely five minutes
before?
Only two things are certain….
- You’ll know more from someone’s Flirtify profile than these contestant will by
the time they’re husband and wife
- We will be watching - 9pm Thursday on Channel 4
