:j OK so it wasn't an MSE comp, my local press had the competition, I collected the tokens, answered the question and then took the family to the wedding fair today!
They chose 10 finalists to go up onto the stage, name out of a hat (I was number 4) and then we each had to take a number out of another hat and pick up the bouquet in front of our number (again I was number 4.) Then we all had to take the pink rose out of the bouquet and the one with the gold stem won the dream wedding package (worth £15,000), As the announcer said we have a winner I thought she was looking at me, (but alas it was the woman next to me!)
But I still won a bottle of champagne and £500 of money off wedding vouchers:beer:
