The Sanctity Of Marriage, Part 87

Move over The Bachelor, Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire, and Married By America – Fox has a new reality show coming called I Married A Stranger.

Fox is plotting to play matchmaker to a couple of marriage-starved strangers. Net has picked up the pilot “I Married a Stranger,” from A. Smith and Co., the shingle behind “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares.” Production has already been completed on the pilot, which centers on a woman who is in her late 30s and is eager to get hitched. A group of friends and family are presented with five eligible men, and the group slowly picks off the guys until one is left standing. As each man is booted out, the bride-to-be gets her first look (“Dating Game” style) at who she won’t be marrying. By the end of the episode, she finally meets the guy she’s going to marry — and the ceremony is held. Each week focuses on another potential coupling.

Got that? The bride doesn’t even get to SEE her new husband until the ceremony. Sanctity. Of. Marriage.
