Media – Munich – “The price is hot” moderator Wijnvoord marries on TV – economy
Send (dpa) – TV presenter Harry Wijnvoord (72) will get married live on television and on board a cruise ship in mid-March. 130 guests have been invited and the whole thing will be broadcast on the sonnenklar.TV channel, said the “The price is hot” moderator on Friday of the German Press Agency. Although he and his Iris had been married in a civil ceremony for the past year, only 18 people were admitted. That was nice, but some things were missing: the wedding dress, some friends and relatives.
“We then made up our minds: We’ll get married again,” said Wijnvoord. This is now happening on a ship. The television transmission is about his professional activity for sonnenklar.TV. Several media had reported.
The broadcaster announced Wijnvoord and his Iris would get the blessing on “a new luxury riverboat” in the presence of a deacon. The scene is the Rhine, in front of the “romantic backdrop of the Loreley”. The highlights of the trip are to be shown in the docu-soap “Celebrities in Holiday Paradise” from March 16th to 18th. There is also a guest list – peppered with television veterans. Among others, Jörg Draeger, Marijke Amado, Hans Meiser, Werner Schulze-Erdel, Ulli Potofski and Björn Hergen-Schimpf should come.
Wijnvoord said he had no concerns that Iris, who has a fashion business, might become uncomfortable with the attention. “She moves in front of the camera like she hasn’t done anything else in her life,” he said. “I’m totally floored”. It is the second marriage for both of you.
