Strangers when we meet... at the altar

Married at First sight Channel 4

WHEN I saw the title of this programme, I just had to watch it.

I mean, we’ve all heard of love at first sight but marriage … what?! Surely I’ve missed something here.

But it turns out Married At First Sight does exactly what it says on the tin.

Two people meet for the first time at the altar, where they promise to be there for each other for the rest of their days – in sickness and in health.

If you ask me, the whole concept is absolutely bonkers.

I mean, I was with my other half for 10 years before we got married.

But business development exec Clark and student nurse Melissa are complete strangers when they exchange vows.

All they’ve known for the past six weeks is each other’s name… they haven’t seen any photographs, don’t have a clue what the other one does for a living, haven’t met their in-laws-to-be.

Of course, it’s all a big experiment. And the wedding is just the beginning.

They have a honeymoon to make it through and four weeks of living together before they must decide whether to stay together or seek a divorce.

And who knows? Maybe it will be love at first sight… I for one will be tuning in next week to find out!

YOUR FACE SAYS IT ALL CHANNEL 4

APPARENTLY there’s a lot you can tell about someone from their face.

The Victorians used the make-up of people’s mush to decide whether they were an idiot or not. John F Kennedy was apparently more popular with the public because he had agreeable facial features.

It was all pretty scientific and boring – I don’t think I could face it again!
