A competition run by a Welsh newspaper to win a dream wedding has been won by a lucky couple from Swansea.
Michael Bowen and Layla Twigg are the lucky winners of the South Wales Evening Post’s 2008 competition, and have bagged an incredible £16,000 towards their dream wedding next month.
31 year old groom Michael and 28 year old bride to be Layla have been a couple for more than 11 years and started their relationship as two friends dating, they have two daughters aged 8 and 5.
The couple had always intended to get married but finances had stood in their way for many years. They will be married at St David’s Church in Swansea on the 28th of February.
The competition means that almost all aspects of the wedding have been paid for by the South Wales Evening Post, including Layla’s wedding gown, Michael’s suit, the rings, the cake, the photographer, the flowers, the cars and a wedding reception for around 70 guests.
Bride to be Layla is ‘over the moon’ after winning the competition and husband to be Michael commented:-
“It is going to be the day I have always wanted to give Layla but could not afford.
I think we might eventually have settled for a small, civil ceremony at County Hall with just a few guests had it not been for winning the Post competition.
The budget would have been really, really tight. Just getting married would have been great. But this really has made all the difference.”
The South Wales Evening Post’s 2009 competition which is worth an estimated £19,000 is due to begin shortly.
