The concept of Married at first sight is known: the participants marry eachother, without ever having seen each other. But with Martijn and Nicole, thereis a very good chance that they crossed paths during a holiday in Ibiza – justa week before the television wedding – because they appear to have a number ofthe same friends.
,,This feels very familiar, of course I know a number of people”, BrabanderMartijn (50) stammered against Nicole from Amsterdam in front of the altar.,,I thought: hey, I was also in Ibiza last week.”
Three friends of Nicole (47) naturally received an invitation to the weddingfrom her, but also mail from Martijn. “We were like, ‘What do we do now? Fromthat moment on we thought: we’ll keep this a secret, it’s their day.”
Bizarre
Nicole wondered in front of the wedding official last night whether she andMartijn ‘did the same parties’. ,,It is a bizarre coincidence that you were inIbiza at the same time last week”, Babs Mariëlle concluded at Slot Zeist.
Once on the champagne, the subject was broached again. “This is bizarre. Ithought when I entered the venue, they mixed it. They put your friends withmine,” says Martijn. He turned out to have met Nicole’s girlfriends at aSpanish nightclub, but didn’t make a long evening of it. ,,I went home ontime, because I was tired from travelling.” For Nicole, who visited the sameestablishment on the same evening, ‘the circle has come full circle’. “It allcomes together, very crazy!”
