 not will be revealed tomorrow night. For now, there’s only one woman we know for certain actually goes through with it: Emma Rathbone, 32, an events manager from London.

For on February 21, in a ceremony at the Royal Society of Arts, she was the bride in the white dress, walking down the aisle towards the stranger in the navy suit. He turned out to be James Ord-Hume, a 33-year-old university administrator, with whom she’d been matched by the Channel 4 experts.

‘I’d been on my own for a long time,’ says Emma, a statuesque blonde who was single for two years and has ‘never really loved somebody before’. ‘I’m quite independent, but I longed to find someone to settle down with. I spoke to friends and family and, although they thought I was mad, they were supportive [when I signed up to the show].’

While Emma said she was relieved when she saw James at the altar, the university administrator admitted he found it 'awkward'

By the time Emma was told she’d been matched with someone, the wedding day was just four weeks away. ‘In the lead-up, I was nervous, but excited,’ she says. ‘When I saw James, my first thought was relief — he had nice eyes and looked smart. He immediately put me at ease.’

But James is less gushing about the moment they met: ‘I think “awkward” might be the word of the day,’ he admits. ‘The most awkward bit was the photos, when they told us to look into each other’s eyes. That was weird.’

He adds: ‘In all honesty, I was completely blank at first. I was mainly concentrating on not letting the beads of sweat dribble off my face and onto my shirt.’ Who said romance was dead?

Interviews the couple have given since reveal that the rose-tinted sheen of their wedding day has faded further still. ‘We don’t fancy each other!’ they declared, glibly, last month.

It was awkward - we don't even fancy each other!

Emma admitted: ‘Physically, we’ve both said, if we met in the pub, we probably wouldn’t stop for each other. Obviously, attraction is very important and that can affect your sexual relationship, so we have some work to do in that area.’
