Married at First Sight: a reality social experiment

I'm not sure if any of you have seen this show, but channel FYI has this new show called "Married at First Sight."

The pairs say 'I do' and go on their honeymoon. Two of the couples end up getting "close" during the honeymoon, the other couple ends up taking it slow.

In what looks to be a wedding clusterfuck, tens of thousands of couples are currently scrambling to reserve the best that Churches and reception halls have to offer before time runs out (check the calender, folks. T-minus 5 months and counting for all you engaged folks). One of the engaged couples that chose 12/13/14 as the "big day" was interviewed, and explained why they chose that day : " I wanted to have a cool wedding date. I always wanted a winter wedding, so I originally picked Dec. 6. But that wasn't cool, and when I found out that 12/13/14 fell on a Saturday, I knew I had to pick it. We started planning as soon as we got engaged last September. " *yawn* ------...
