Wedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.
Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station’s competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine，23，is a model. Mr. Cordell，27，is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a peculiar“experiment”organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham，England. Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio. They took a lie detector（测谎仪）test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges included an astrologer（占星家）who declared that they were suited.
The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening，but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine’s mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell’s parents are reported to be less than delighted.
Organizations，including the marriage guidance service Relate，have criticized the marriage. As one person put it，“We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love. ”
The couple are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists.
