Hot or Not couple marry thanks to Facebook

Now, however, the site that asked users to upload pictures and "rate" those of others is celebrating its first Facebook wedding.

Brazilian air hostess Gisele Cunha, 31, uploaded her picture in January 2008, and has recently married Gavin Jenkins, 30, from South Wales.

After noticing her picture on the Hot or Not Facebook application, Mr Jenkins planned to meet Miss Cunha on a work trip to Brazil.

The pair used email and instant messaging to keep in touch, however, until Cunha began working in Britain in April 2008. Jenkins proposed in October the following year.

Hot or Not now has originally conceived to settle a disagreement between its two founders. Volunteer moderators vet all the images that are uploaded to prevent offensive content finding its way on to the site.
