If You're Getting Engaged This Christmas, Enter This Contest

You could win an all-expenses-paid wedding. Not bad, eh?

The Christmas season is also a big season for getting engaged. Let's face it, the only thing that sparkles more than tinsel on the tree is a new engagement ring.

So let this serve as a reminder that your engagement could come with an all-expenses-paid wedding, courtesy of Visit Bucks County and Philadelphia Magazine. All you have to do is go the Greatest Groom Contest on the Philadelphia Magazine Web site, fill in some basic information, add a photo and, in 200 words or less, explain why your groom-to-be is awesome.

Yep, it's that simple and the prize package is pretty impressive.

In addition to things like the cake, a disc jockey, lodging, video and limousines, the whole event will take place at the historic Pen Ryn Mansion. Want more? Well, how about having your entire wedding immortalized in Philadelphia Wedding

It's not surprise that response to the contest as been strong, but Michelle Greco Falcone, Visit Bucks County’s Communications Manager, said she's hoping for some post-holiday entries.

"We were hoping for 100 entries and we're already there," she said. "But we're hoping for a spike after Christmas."

December 31, 2011 is the contest deadline and the winner will be announced in Febraury at the Bucks County Bridal Show. Oh, and neither the bride nor the groom need to be from Bucks County to win.
