An Auckland bride's prayers for a groom have been answered but she won't get to meet him until they're at the altar.
Charlotte (not her real name) and Brad (also not his real name) will tie the knot on Thursday morning at a ceremony on an Auckland hotel rooftop.
The pair has never met but Charlotte is sure Brad will be her Prince Charming and is excited about the wedding day.

Kersha Veix before she meets her husband-to-be on their wedding day in 2003, after entering The Edge radio station's Strangers and a Wedding competition.
This is the fourth time The Edge radio show has married two people who have never met, with a 100 per cent success rate.
Zane and Paula Nicholls married in October 1999, following the first season of the Strangers and a Wedding radio hook-up. They are still going strong 16 years later.
Then Steve and Kersha Veix married in 2003. They now live in Nelson with three children.
Speaking the day before her wedding, Charlotte said she already felt like she knew her husband-to-be.
They don't know each other's real names (but Charlotte will still take Brad's last name), they spoken a handful of times, and held hands once, though they've never seen each other.
The 27-year-old model and executive assistant said the chemistry when they held hands at the radio station was "electrifying".
She said she prayed for a husband and felt the contest was an answer to her prayers.
The two had a lot of differences "but opposites attract", she said.
The pair was committed to getting to know more about each other, a process that would begin on Thursday.
Being in the public eye had been difficult, Charlotte said, adding that a lot of people had passed judgment on her decision.
"It's not what you think you're going to do when you get married."
There had been some nasty comments from members of the public who wanted Brad to pick another one of the potential brides, she said.
However, Charlotte's family had supported her through the process.
"My mum has been my rock."
Her mother would be walking her down the aisle tomorrow and family were coming from around the world to be at the wedding.
Charlotte said there had been ups and downs throughout the process but she had tried to sit back and enjoy the ride.
She spent Wednesday afternoon with her bridal party, getting her nails painted (pink with sparkles), and relaxing before the big day.
Past Strangers and a Wedding wives had past on some advice: consummate the marriage on the first night but don't move in together for six months after the wedding.
However, what was right for one couple was not necessarily right for another, Charlotte said.
