 Peter Jäckel is 34 years old and a police officer.

He has been living in Zustorf for three years.

This assignment is a very special one: Jäckel takes part in "Marriage at First Sight" on Sat 1. 

Zustorf - The program will be broadcast on October 3rd at 8:15 p.m.

Then he steps in front of the registry office with Jaqueline Rayak (26) from Odenkirchen.

A total of twelve singles risk the blind date.

How does one come up with the idea of ​​looking for a woman in this way?

"I've known the show for a few years," he says.

He's watched it a few times.

“I find it interesting to go all out straight away, to put the horse before the horse.

There's a lot of selection criteria that you can put into which partner you want, and then these experts figure out who might be a good match."

In fact, the broadcaster speaks of experts who deal with people, after all the broadcaster calls it a "social experiment".

It is successful when the right people are brought together – in the long term.

Aren't you revealing too much of yourself?

Jäckel admits: “You reveal a lot about yourself – from finances to personal preferences.

For me these were no hurdles.

Those were all issues that come up at some point in a partnership anyway,” says Jäckel.

And why come to a woman in this way?

"For me, I came from a long-term relationship, and the breakup had hit me hard." A friend urged him: "Come on!

We'll register you there now.” For a long time he didn't expect that it could be something, and it also took a lot of time from the beginning of last year to the end of the year before the interviews actually started.

Jaqueline Rayak has been living in Odenkirchen for a year.

The ward secretary of a hospital bought a condominium there in order to live close to her native city of Cologne.

She contacted the station herself and, unlike Peter, got an answer pretty quickly.

"I have nothing to lose," she said of her motivation.

"You're invited to a workshop that was in Munich," she says.

"That's when you met the experts for the first time.

Especially for me, as a very impatient person, I was always happy when I got ahead in a panel of experts.”

Both are athletic: he plays for a hobby team in Freising.

There have already been advances from SV Zustorf, says Jäckel.

“But the shift work just doesn’t allow that.

Jaqueline Rayak is standing in the boxing ring.

"It's a somewhat unusual hobby." The experts wanted to know whether you were ready to move.

Both don't want to reveal too much yet, but admit: "It's enormously exciting!" klk
