Reality gets a bit ‘Stranger’ with new Fox show

Network developing series in which brides-to-be meet husbands on big day

LOS ANGELES - Fox is developing "I Married a Stranger," a matrimonial reality series in which brides-to-be don't meet their husbands until they exchange vows.

The premise of the show is that a woman frustrated by the dating scene agrees to wed a man she's never met. While she prepares for her blind wedding, friends and family select a spouse from a pool of six eligible suitors offered by the show's producers. The men are eliminated one by one until only two candidates remain. Both finalists walk down the aisle, but only one makes it to the altar to reveal himself to his new wife.

"She never meets him until the actual moment when they say 'I do,'" a source close to the project said. "It's like the big scene that comes after an entire season of 'The Bachelor,' only this is in every episode."

There are couples in California who have been together for 20 or 30 years or more who can't legally get married, and these idiots are marrying a complete stranger for a television show. Where are the National Organization for Marriage protesters on this one?
