GB. Birmingham. 'Two Strangers and a Wedding' is a controversial radio competition
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. They then have to get married legitimately to win prizes.

Birmingham radio station BRMB married the couple, and both of these contests have sparked a national interest. They were matched by a panel of relationship counsellors and astrologers, including astrologer Russell Grant. The groom was 28 year-old Greg Cordell, a sales manager, and his chosen bride was Carla Germaine, a 23 year-old former model.
The couple married, on air nationally and online, however they soon split after the wedding. Carla later met and married Jeremy Kyle, who at the time was one of the radio station's DJs. They now have their own family together.

Carla Germain is prepared for her first meeting with her 'blind-date' husband. 1999.
