Engaged couples had the chance to win a “free” wedding valued at more than $40,000 by submitting an online essay detailing their perfect Vermont wedding. The prizes were provided by local merchants. For example, a free cake from a local bakery, free flowers from local florists, a prenuptial agreement drawn up by a local attorney, teeth whitening by an area dentist… and the list goes on and on.
