    Perfect timing! I am sure you will have an amazing time. Make sure everyone knows it's your honeymoon - you may get all kinds of extra goodies. They do seem to like to spoil newlyweds :)

    congrats on your lovely win and also your wedding. That's the beauty of comping you never know what or when you may win. 27 years ago I still remember that winning letter that gave hubby and I our 3 week honeymoon in Antigua and not paying for it makes it even more special. Have a fab time and here's to many more wins for you. xx

    Unbelievable win, checked my emails yesterday at work and I was ruined for the rest of the day. Had a WEM from a PR company working for Shortlist. As per the below comp I have won a 5 night trip to Florida, with flights, transfers, and a Zero Gravity private flight (worth $5000!) and £1000 spends.

    How unbelievable, only a few weeks ago I said to the missus that if I didn't get a big win in the next few weeks I would consider giving up (been comping since September 2012). Now I know that I never can.

    Massive thanks to everyone that contributes to the forum and to Painkiller for posting the comp, I'm just in a complete state of shock, can't take it in, my missus on the other hand is bouncing off the ceiling.

    I called the PR company today just to check it wasn't a wind up, and it wasn't lol.

    Oh and we're getting married on the 8th of June so this couldn't have come at a better time as we haven't yet booked our honeymoon. Now we've got the trip of a lifetime.

    So take a look, if you haven't had a big win for a while or even since you started comping, it will happen eventually, what we do is all worth it in the end!

    What a lovely post! Really really pleased for you and hope you have an amazing time.

    It really is worth doing these comps, you never know whats around the corner!
