Win The Sun on Sunday’s Dream Wedding – our most spectacular prize ever worth £25,000
ROSES are red, violets are blue, and here’s a Valentine’s gift from us to…YOU.
Today we are launching our most spectacular wedding prize ever – and this unforgettable experience could be YOURS if you win The Sun on Sunday’s Dream Wedding Competition.
Bottles of bubbly will flow, guests will dance to a live band and a famous royal photographer will capture every magical move by the bride and groom.
Many couples are being forced to scrap wedding plans because of the cost- of-living increases.
So we’ve joined forces with some of Britain’s top suppliers to help one lucky couple have the day of their dreams worth £25,000.
All you have to do is tell us why you, or a loved one, deserves to be our winner.
Maybe the groom has spent his life helping others, or the bride has overcome illness or adversity.
The couple may have conquered hard times yet stuck together, found happiness against the odds or simply have a wonderful love story to tell.
The winning couple will tie the knot at The Principal York — a historic venue set in beautiful gardens with views of York Minster Cathedral.
They will enjoy an amazing day with canapes, a four-course wedding breakfast and evening hog roast cooked by the hotel’s team of expert chefs, then spend the night in the venue’s luxurious honeymoon suite.
A spokesman said: “The Principal York is thrilled to be able to host such a special wedding.
“Steeped in tradition, glamour and classic elegance, the hotel will be a magical backdrop, whilst our hearty Yorkshire warmth and hospitality will ensure a truly memorable day.”
Entertainment will be laid on for up to 60 guests — on a date to be decided — by Encore Musicians.
Their artists, which include singers, DJs, bands and musicians, have even performed for the Royal Family.
The lucky bride will pick her dress, veil, shoes, headpiece and jewellery from international experts David’s Bridal, who said: “We are thrilled to help the Sun on Sunday’s winning bride have a day to remember.”
The groom will wear a bespoke Savile Row suit made by celebrity designer Kabiru Abu.
The amazing wedding package also includes three bridesmaid dresses from thandth.com, flowers from award-winning Lottie Roberts Flowers, a three-tier cake made by celebrity maker Apple Tree Cakery York, while suitdirect.co.uk is supplying the groomsmen’s outfits.
There will be “truly magical, unique and bespoke wedding stationery” from Vistaprint.
The couple will exchange rings from ethical jewellers London DE, who “can’t wait to help them create their dream wedding bands in our Hatton Garden studio.”
And to top it all off, the wedding guests will get to enjoy 50 delicious bottles of English sparkling “Boco by House Coren” white wine and receive personalised favours from Hubble And Bubble.
Sun photography legend Arthur Edwards, who has captured eight royal weddings in his glittering career, said: “I love doing weddings. Everyone is so happy and excited.
“I will make the winners feel like royalty on their big day.”
