A woman will choose between two husbands live on air for an Irish radio competition
OVER THE COURSE of the next month, regional radio station iRadio is running a social experiment to find two people to get married – without having met each other.
The project is called ‘Three Strangers and a Wedding’ and will feature a bride on her wedding day picking between two grooms – and the catch is that she will only have spoken to them over the phone whilst on air.

Speaking to DailyEdge.ie about the project, Sandra Kissane of iRadio explained what is actually going to happen:
The people involved will be complete strangers, with their only contact coming through regular phone chats live on air and “blind” dates in person in the iRadio studio. The bride will choose who she wants to get married to based on these chats, as Kissane explains:

But, wait. What are the actual chances that the the people will like the look of each other, never mind get on well in person?
At this stage, we were just curious as to how it will all play out on the day. Surely there is a chance that the bride or the grooms will just not go through with it?

The process is ongoing, with the first potential bride on air on tomorrow morning’s breakfast show:
The idea behind the experiment is that a couple can get to know each other without the pressures of looks or any other distractions. Kissane says that the amount of people who have entered the project has been “shocking” and that they are nearly complete with the interviewing process for the grooms.
The wedding – or perhaps non-event, if things don’t go well – on June 16th will be broadcast live on the station and streamed on its website. Both the bride’s family and the two groom’s families will be in attendance before and after the big decision is made.
No pressure, then.
