<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two complete strangers decided to marry for a reality TV show, it has been revealed.<\/p>\n
Emma Rathbone, 32, and James Ord-Hume, 33, got married on the show despite never having met before.<\/p>\n
Scientists at Channel 4's Married at First Sight they believe that a swab of saliva and a few chest measurements will lead to the perfect match.<\/p>\n
Before meeting their new partners, the hapless participants listed the typical reasons for not finding love.<\/p>\n
This included things such as incompatibility, not 'meeting the one', and having too many dates that didn't go anywhere.<\/p>\n
The 'matched' partners commit to a legal civil ceremony, attend their own reception and go on an all-expenses-paid honeymoon. <\/p>\n
When they return from their honeymoon, they then move in together and have five weeks to decide if they want to stay married or divorce.<\/p>\n
Channel 4 described the documentary as 'groundbreaking'.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the big day, Emma said: "When I saw James, my first thought was relief — he had nice eyes and looked smart. He immediately put me at ease."<\/p>\n
However, James described the first encounter as 'awkward'.<\/p>\n
Emma also failed to get the support of all of her family members and said that her father refused to support or attend the ceremony.<\/p>\n
She also added that there is 'a lot of work to do'.<\/p>\n
"‘Physically, we’ve both said, if we met in the pub, we probably wouldn’t stop for each other. Obviously, attraction is very important and that can affect your sexual relationship, so we have some work to do in that area," she explained.<\/p>\n
Both couples admitted that they didn't really fancy each other and wouldn't have got chatting in a bar.<\/p>\n
Time will tell if it works out for the couple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
