...is love blind? REDUX

[alliancesjr]

Yesterday I mentioned the Two Strangers and a Wedding experiment being conducted by the radio station I listen to at work. I decided that it really is interesting to me, and that I'll be following this pretty religiously.

I just really like the concept.

Therefore, I will be following along with this social project in this journal. Entries dealing with the subject will be marked with the appropriate journal tags and cut text, so those who read this journal who have absolutely no interest in this experiment will not have to read it.

Since yesterday, they've added a streaming video of Eric and Kathy in the studio from yesterday's broadcast, outlining the specifics of this project in full.

You people have your Bachelors and American Idols and Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire. This is one that interests me. Don't judge me.

It is a very interesting question, though. You guys tell me what you think. Is love blind? Can two people fall in love over the phone or internet, maybe have their families and friends involved, and have a healthy marriage without ever seeing their prospective spouse until they are at the altar? Let me know your thoughts on the matter.


11 days.

It's a touch riskier than a face-to-face or even long-distance relationship, but theoretically, I think it can work. Having little short of done it myself.

Obviously, I agree. ^_^ The foundation of our relationship happened long before we'd exchanged photographs. I also agree with hunnybee929, though, in that if the physical isn't involved at ALL, there might be a major disappointment when they finally do get to the altar if there's no physical attraction. It's far from the primary thing in a relationship, but it does play some part.
