Marriage is an important topic here at the GMPM. We have running diaries about it. We write about why guys should wear wedding rings. We’ll even show you how to buy a ring.
In case you didn’t know, there’s this really important wedding scheduled for April 29—even guys are watching it. But seriously, the Royal Wedding is kind of a big deal in Great Britain. And by proxy, that means it’s a big deal for a lot of people here.
But what if your engagement coincides with the royal nuptials? Maybe you’re feeling a bit overshadowed? Does your wife-to-be feel like your ceremony will never live up to Kate and William’s? Well, maybe it could.
E.B. Horn Jewelers in Boston are trying to find Boston’s own fairytale Royal Wedding. They’re searching for the couple with the best, most romantic story. Contestants can either create a YouTube video to tell their story or write it out along with a few pictures. The entries must be uploaded to the contest page by April 24 at 11:59 p.m.
What do the winners get? An exact replica of the sapphire and diamond ring that Kate will be wearing on her wedding day—worth $10,000.
On April 26, 10 finalists will be announced based on the originality and creativity of their stories along with online voting on Facebook and Twitter. In Boston, on the night before the Royal Wedding, a panel of celebrity judges (yes, we have been invited to judge) will evaluate the finalists. That night, a winning couple will be chosen.
Head on over the contest’s page. If you’re interested, tell them your story.
