FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 10, 2005
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. 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.
