married at first sight

Part 1

Diannes pov

I burst into my flat I shared with my best friend Amy with makeup running down my face as I ahd been crying so much. I look over and see Amy on the sofa cuddled up to her toy giraffe, Marvin, which she had since she was a little kid.
She hears me crying and coming in so she turns around

"di, babe, what's the matter why are you crying?"
Amy asks me

"no"
I cry to her

I sat next to her and she puts her arm round me and I put my head against her shoulder.

"he.. He... Jordan broke up with me"
I burst out crying even more.

"di that's horrible"
Amy replied to my bad news

"and he did it over text"
I added

"what an idiot, I knew there was something wrong with him"
Amy said to me

"I can't handle single life"
I say

"why don't you apply for a dating show?"

What a good idea I thought. I Google dating shows and lots come up.

Take me out
Love island
Blind dates
First dates
Dinner dates

"THAT ONE DIANNE"
Amy says pointing at my laptop screan

"what one?"
I asked her

"married at first sight"

I didn't really think about what I was doing but I found an application form on there and filled it in.

I just went to bed that night to see what could happen.

...............

I woke up from my long sleep to see that I had an email, what could this be, some kind of dance company after me again. Probably

I was not expecting what I saw...

Oh my god.
I have never been so exited I'm my life.
I run downstairs and see Amy making breakfast in the kitchen

"Amy, Amy, guess what?"
I ask her whilst jumping around the kitchen

"what?"
She replies

"I'm going on the show"

"are you actually?"
She asks with a shocked face

"I swear to god look"
I say as I show her the email

"Amy, I'm getting married in three months time to a complete stranger"

"dianne I'm so happy for you"

..............

"mum"
I say

I was on the phone to my mum who moved to England after my granddad died with my dad.

"yes darling"

"I'm getting married in three months to a complete stranger"
I say

"what?"
My mum says

I tell her the long winded story of how Jordan had broken up with me and that Amy had suggested going on the show and that I had been accepted to be on it. She was so worried but I assured her that I would be fine.

I honestly am nuts.

I am marrying a stranger in three months

What am I about to get myself in to?
