Love is on the air: two strangers and a blind wedding

THE old superstition that a groom shouldn’t see his bride until she steps up the aisle doesn’t apply to one couple due to wed today - they’ve never laid eyes on each other.

Patrick Dunne and Bernadette Coleman will meet for the first time at their wedding venue this morning and are scheduled to exchange vows minutes later.

The cynics might sneer and the romantics might weep into their Mills and Boons but it’s sure to make good radio and that’s what the “Two Strangers and a Wedding” event is all about.
