TWO strangers married moments after meeting each other for the first time yesterday - and then declared themselves happy with their new lives.

Craig Cooper, 30, a former soldier, and Rebecca Duffy, 28, a secretary, won a radio station competition for the "blind" wedding. They made their vows during a private ceremony. The newlyweds held hands, kissed in front of the cameras and revealed that they were looking forward to getting to know each other. They are set to honeymoon in Bermuda.

The Birmingham couple won the wedding in a competition organised by the independent radio station BRMB.

Mr Cooper, a salesman who believes he bears a passing resemblance to the singer Will Young, beamed: "She's beautiful.
