I'd love to find who posted the comp to win a wedding at Smiths of Smithfield last year, and send them a huge virtual 'thank you'!
My husband and I were the lucky winners, and it was an incredible prize. We ended up with a £6000 bar tab at the end of the night on top of the prize :shocked: but we wouldn't have been able to afford our wedding in London without it.
My now husband has been setting up a business for 2.5 years with no salary and we would still just be engaged if it wasn't for this thread. x
