Two Strangers and a Wedding

In order to win the competition, two contestants who have not met or made contact with each other must be chosen by the station's listeners.

The couple involved in the 1998 SAFM Adelaide competition (James, Paul and Amanda) were Thomas Balacco and Helen Boyer, who soon split after their honeymoon in Bali.

Birmingham radio station BRMB has married two sets of couples, and both of these contests have sparked a national interest.

The groom was 28-year-old Greg Cordell, a sales manager, and his chosen bride was Carla Germaine, a 23-year-old former model.

Also to make it to the last four girls was her long-term schoolfriend Joanna Scragg who later married successful banker Rob Cook.

Carla later met and married Jeremy Kyle,[1] who at the time was one of the radio station's DJs.

These reports were confirmed on the morning radio show The Big Brum Breakfast, when Becky (the bride) was interviewed.

[citation needed] New Zealand radio station The Edge ran a similar competition where they married Zane Nichol and Paula Stockwell in 1999, they now have two sons and a daughter.

In early 2006, it was revealed that due to Steve's long days working on the couple's farm, Kersha suffered post-natal depression which she has since beaten.

95.5 KLOS in Los Angeles also ran, a variant of the competition called "Three Strangers and a Wedding" in 2007, this time the twist was that the Bride had to choose her groom in 60 seconds based on first looks.

Most recently WTMX in Chicago ran 2 Strangers – Is Love Blind and the final couple refused to get married at the altar claiming marriage was too serious to be entered into via a radio competition.
