Break Out the Invitations
Last month, I went along with my newly engaged friend to browse bridesmaid dresses at a nearby boutique. Walking back to the car one poofy pink gown and $300 later, I remembered that weddings really can be expensive – and not just for the happy couple.
That’s why my ears perked up when I heard about the latest promotion from the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism. Between March 20th and April 24th, they’re hosting a Bridal Bailout contest, ultimately awarding five lucky couples the destination wedding of their dreams. But unlike a lot of "free wedding" promotions, the Bahamas will be picking up the tab for more than just the bride and groom.
The five sets of sweethearts will each receive round trip airfare for 10 people, deluxe accommodations for 4-days/3-nights for all 10 guests, an on-site wedding planner, flowers, photographer and a wedding cake. And just so no one steals your wedding-day thunder, the five winning couples will each enjoy their event at a different resort in the Bahamas: Old Bahama Bay by Ginn Sur Mer; Pelican Bay at Lucaya; Sheraton Nassau Beach; SuperClubs Breezes Bahamas; and the Wyndham Nassau Resort.
How to score the goods (worth over $12,000, by the way)? Just log on to the official contest page and submit a video essay, or a still photo along with a written essay, explaining why you and your sweetie need this bridal bailout. Then click here to check out more contests on CT+L.
Once you win, feel free to leave the poofy pink dresses at home…your guests will probably thank you.
