PEDESTRIAN.TV and MALTESERS® have partnered together to help plan and pay for the perfect wedding for one lucky couple, all to celebrate the launch of Maltesers Duos.
Yep, we’re giving away a wedding.
Worth $60k, we’re helping you to organise everything from the venue to the outfits so you can have your ideal day, minus the indecision (and the bill) because, when it comes to the big day, you shouldn’t have to choose between your favourite ideas; you should have both.
And let’s face it — weddings may be a beautiful day but planning them is a whole other story. Just ask our poor angel Anne Hathaway, who lost her mind in the 2009 classic Bride Wars.
It’s the ultimate test for any duo: merging two completely different personalities and tastes into one single day, without starting a turf war over colour palettes. If you’re finding yourself overwhelmed choosing between a formal affair or casual garden party, this could be the solution for you.
Simply tell us in 250 words or less why you deserve to win a wedding, and you could be on your way to happily ever after.
imply tell us in 250 words or less why you deserve to win a wedding, and you could be on your way to happily ever after.
After you submit your 250-word answer, we may ask you to send a video giving us a sense of you as a couple, telling us your wedding story, and why you would be a great fit for this wedding.
This is ‘cos we need to understand who the two of you are and what sort of wedding you see yourselves having.
In 250 words or less, tell us why should you and your partner win a wedding with Maltesers Duos?
