The bride in ‘Blind Married’ sounded as enthusiastic as a politician after an overnight meeting about the nuclear trip

The UK had ‘the funeral of the century’ and we also had something plannedyesterday. Namely: ‘the largest wedding party in Flanders’, organized by’Blind married’, which this season allowed all couples to celebrate theirmarriage together.

In previous seasons, after the duos had said yes, they were each allowed tosound out on the union with family, friends and colleagues, but this timeeveryone was pushed together in one room. The reason for that was never reallyclear during the party. Did the makers start looking for rooms too late andwas everything already fully booked? Did people have to pay attention thistime and did they get a nice deal there in Waasmunster in exchange for somedrone images of the building and surroundings? Or does ‘Blind Marriage’ wantto go more along the lines of the version in Australia, where the couples havebeen celebrating together for years and then also travel together, whichcreates extra tension and sometimes sparks between two people who strangelyenough not matched by the experts.

Perhaps the answer will come from next week, when we follow the newlyweds asthey enjoy their honeymoon together. Actually, the new format of ‘BlindMarried’ isn’t the most important question that has popped into my mind in theepisodes that have aired so far, but what exactly is the role of Ingeborgshould be as a whole. The singer is a big fan of the program, so she isallowed to experience everything from the front row and after all these yearsof ‘Blind date’, she can now see couples waving and clumsily coming down astaircase. But she doesn’t become much more than a cheerleader who loves this’party of love’, thinks there is a great click between all the duos and ‘has areally good feeling this year’. I’m even starting to fear a bit that when oneof the couples will go to bed together for the first time in the next fewweeks, Ingeborg will suddenly appear and say a ‘Come on, cool!’ will be heard.

In whose bedroom is it most likely that Ingeborg will have to sit between thecurtains? Maybe kindergarten teacher Jana and emergency nurseChristian , who already have an above-average interest in each other’sbodies, how long they exercise each week and how much protein is taken in onaverage. Or that of Brecht and Dziubi , who have developed such aconnection in a matter of hours that the other couples look on with some envy.The only thing that can still spoil the game is the opening dance, which tookplace to the tones of ‘Always remember us this way’ by Lady Gaga , fromthe soundtrack of ‘A Star Is Born’. The dance itself was romantic, but Dziubisaid afterwards that both urgently needed to watch the film together and if weremember something from ‘A star is born’, then that the ending didn’timmediately have an erotic effect.

The click is less present with the two other couples: wine seller Jorenemphasized very often that neither he nor his partner Jana is the type of’coup de foudre’ and also between Florence and Jiri the initialenthusiasm has cooled somewhat. However, they were just announced by Ingeborgas ‘the prince couple’ and they were also allowed to come down the stairs lastand do their opening dance, as if the other duos were some kind of supportact. But in his speech, Jiri thanked family, friends and colleagues for theirpresence and barely mentioned his wife, as if he had won an award rather thana wife. And when Florence’s sister asked if there was any “magic,” she said”there was common ground and maybe there was potential too,” a response onewould expect from a politician after a long late-night meeting about reversingthe nuclear phase-out. .

But hey, maybe things will get better when they can stay with the othercouples in Bodrum, Turkey, a destination that was repeated so many times bythe end of the episode and even sparked such excitement among the two self-proclaimed world travelers Florence and Jiri that there was so much excitementthere. undoubtedly an agreement has also been reached with a tour operator.
