CHRIS Robinson and Tracey Lobo were determined to have a wedding with a difference.
And tonight millions of viewers will see the pair tie the knot on television after winning the wackiest game show on air.
Chris and Tracey applied to the Shane Richie Experience to get married on his show after watching a pilot of the programme last summer. And after several auditions and interviews, the couple got their chance to pit their wits against two other brides and grooms-to-be.
After winning the cupid contest the couple, who are about to move into a new home at Regent's View, Blackburn, were whisked off to the Rovers Return at Granada Studios for a reception with 25 friends and relatives who had been at the show.
They then flew to the Seychelles for a two-week honeymoon complete with spending money.
Now Chris and Tracey and preparing for their main reception tonight at the Cob Wall WMC in Blackburn while the programme is shown on a giant screen.
"My three brothers and three sisters were married in the church across the road so I always fancied doing something a bit different," said Chris, 27, who works in the warehouse at Tensar Ltd and has been going out with Tracey, also 27, for 13 years.
"It was great fun and the holiday was fabulous."
