OTTAWA - On Wednesday June 1st, 2005, The New HOT 89.9 FM, in Ottawa,Canada will become the first station in the world to broadcast live - a wedding for a gay couple.
In an exciting announcement just after 8 a.m. EST, The New Hot 89.9 Morning HOT Tub with Mauler, Rush, Laura & Josie revealed that Lynn and Alex, the gay couple from this season's #1 reality show - The Amazing Race 7 ,will be flying to Ottawa for a June wedding ceremony.
Lynn, 30 and Alex, 22 from West Hollywood, California have been together for four years. Executive Assistants by trade, they signed on to The Amazing Race 7 as a means to test the strength and longevity of their relationship.
"From speaking with them it became obvious that their experience on The Amazing Race really solidified their commitment to each other, and their desire to get married," says Mauler, host of The New HOT 89.9 morning show. "Since current laws do not allow the union of gay couples in California, we are ecstatic that they have agreed to come to Ottawa to share with us this once in a lifetime experience."
The happy couple is set to arrive in Ottawa, Monday May 30th. Over the course of that week, Lynn and Alex will be treated to a bachelor party, their wedding rehearsal and tour around Canada's beautiful capital city (en esperant que ça soit pas eux qui conduisent le char s'ils veulent arriver à temps). The live on-air wedding ceremony will be held at the Ottawa Congress Centre Wednesday June 1, and will be followed by a reception at Suite 34 that evening.
Newcap Radio's HOT 89.9 FM, known for their ground breaking and unique promotions, contests and events is set to conquer Ottawa once again. This will be the first 'live to air' gay wedding in the history of radio.
This wedding will blow everyone away," says Rob Mise, Operations Manager,HOT 89.9. FM. "Although this event will be one of the most challenging to put together in such a short time, we're pulling out all the stops to make this a wedding Lynn and Alex, their family, friends, and our listeners will never forget."
In a news conference in New York City today, Lynn and Alex will be announcing their 'Amazing Wedding' to the U.S. media.
