Are you just about to get married? If so, there appears to be no downside entering the 2010 San Francisco Dream Wedding Giveaway. And if you win, you’ll be getting hitched on May 14, 2010, whether you like it or not!
All this assumes that you’re not bashful talking about your fiance (or fiancee) and that you don’t mind being exposed to a wedding-related sales pitch or two. After all, you only get married one time (or eight (!) times, something in that area).
And just for fun, read the FAQ. Apparently, ingrates, people who haven’t even won yet, write in with less-than-gracious inquiries:
Q} – I already paid deposits to other vendors for the wedding I have been planning on my own. Can I get those deposits back?
Q} I can’t afford to take time off work. If I am the winner, will I be compensated for my time?
Q} Can we cancel the wedding if we are the winners?
(Can you imagine? I mean, really, mink coats and no manners, right ladies?)
Anyway, here are the deets. The contest starts August 4, 2009, at exactly 7:55 AM Pacific Standard Time.
You can’t win if you don’t play! And Our Schools Win Too!*
