    You only have to undergo a marriage preparation course if you're being married in a church, but you have to give 3 months' notice to the state, including the names of two witnesses, in the case of all marriages. Can't see how they get past that, to be honest.

    Local Circuit Court Judge can order an exemption.

    Still a legally binding contract whicever way you look at it!

    If it doesn't work out they could always apply for nullity on the basis that they lacked capacity to consent, having never met nor having any say in who they marry.

    I think its a mad idea!!! Sure its a social experiment to see if they could match up two compatible people!!!
    No, it's a publicity stunt to boost ratings.

    Split already, wow, thought they might have lasted a couple of months at least!! Just proves nothing can replace good, old fashioned chemistry and you own intuition, love can be blind, but it aint deaf or dumb!! Pity for the two people involved though, it must be a bit dispappointing, not to mention slightly embarassing :rolleyes:

    Heard her talking on the radio the other morning. Was very flippant about it, and was fair to the guy, but you could hear between the lines that he behaved like an ass. She was basically shrugging off the whole thing as a fun couple of weeks with no long term repercussions. Even said she was getting more male attention since it was on.

    He was on, apparently, but I missed his interview.

    Before the 'wedding' very little was made of the fact that a real wedding would not take place, in fact the publicity was based on these people making such a big decision in a radio stunt, when in fact, it was fake.

    The interviewer laughed it off as an experience for her that 'only 24 other women in the world have experienced'. Kinda made me think of the thousands of women (and men) subjected to forced marriage. They do the stranger marriage bit without any publicity, and tbh, they could do with it.

    The whole thing looked to me like a pathethic 3 way attention seeking project. The radio station are obviously reeling for attention and struggling for listenership in a recession especially when you consider the context here, falling advertising sales and as for the girl who has admitted that she is "getting more male attention" since she participated in this stupid charade, that says enough about her neediness. He probably just went for the free beer. It's sad that this kind of childlike carry on makes it into the papers and television.

    Actually, it's been raised over on a few other sites how very insulting this is to gay people who want to get married but are told they can't because of marriage being a sacred bond between a man and a woman. I can see their point tbh, I mean, I know this wasn't a legally binding marriage or anything (just a silly, but effective publicity stunt) but it really is making a mockery out of it a little bit.
