Another great newsletter, Axel ! Re: Married At First Sight - in the UK many years ago, any show that "appeared to trivialize" marriage was banned. One shiny floor entertainment show which featured the two fiancees and their families and where the top prize was an all-expenses paid wedding was piloted but couldn't be made because of those restrictions.

These behind-the-scenes stories are very interesting! As for getting married in Italy, it was even worse ;)

Was this Dream Wedding by Endemol? When I was a little kid we had a show called "Dream Wedding" on RTL in Germany, hosted by John's sister Linda de Mol ;-)
