Serge Cormier is preparing to broadcast his wedding ceremony from a hotel room in Moncton. (CBC)A Moncton wedding will be broadcast across the city and beyond on Saturday as a couple take their vows to the airwaves.

Serge Cormier and Yanbing Zou have set up a special limited-duration radio station to broadcast their wedding in the Moncton area.

Cormier and Zou met while attending the University of New Brunswick. Cormier is from Moncton while Zou has lived in Canada for about five years since moving from China. They now live in the Toronto area.

"Lots of relatives can't come down to Canada, but they can still share the special moment with us. So that will be very good," Zou said of the radio broadcast.

Cormier, who previously studied broadcasting at the New Brunswick Community College in Woodstock, said he began looking into broadcasting the wedding and was surprised to find that it didn't seem to be a common practice in Canada.

It's a service that is offered through several companies in Europe, he said.

"I always had a love for radio, and this is something I wanted to do," Cormier said.

After spending about $3,000 and recruiting the help of some of his friends from college, he now has the proper equipment and licences to broadcast for four days from a hotel room in Moncton.

The radio station, 100.9 WedFM, is broadcasting May 14-18 and will include a Top 40 countdown of the couple's favourite music, lessons in Chinese and French and stories about the couple's family traditions and respective childhoods.

Serge Cormier and bride-to-be Yanbing Zou say their WedFM radio station will ensure a memorable wedding. (CBC)The highlight of the broadcast will be on Saturday, when the full wedding ceremony and reception will be broadcast on the station.

The 50-watt broadcast is expected to reach Moncton, Riverview and Dieppe, but Cormier has also established a website to stream the service for family and friends who are farther afield.

Zou said she's a little nervous about broadcasting her wedding vows to the world — English is not her first language — but she knows the on-air exchange will make them memorable.

"It's unique — once in a lifetime — so make it special. We will remember it, definitely," Zou said.

Cormier said he's been told that his wedding will be the first to use a limited-duration FM broadcast for the ceremony.

If it's successful, he said, he may look into turning it into a business in the future.
