Wal-Mart has announced it will foot the bill for seven lucky couples to be married on 7/7/07—one of the most sought-after wedding dates in recent years—at local Wal-Mart superstores.
Wal-Mart and G Squared, a Wal-Mart exclusive brand, have teamed together to offer seven couples the chance to say their vows in the lawn and garden area. This will double as the reception site as well.
This may not be the most romantic setting couples have in mind, but with most vendors and venues booked solid for this day, it is a great opportunity to take advantage of the generosity. It is expected that more than twice as many weddings will take place on 7/7/07 than the corresponding weekend in 2006. “The popularity of 7/7/07 can be attributed to the symbolism associated with the number seven,” said Kathi Mishek, vice president of Gartner Studios.
The “Lucky in Love Wedding Search” couples will receive wedding packages worth more than $5,000 each. This will include the wedding ceremony and reception venues, 14 karat gold and diamond wedding bands for the bride and groom, a wedding invitation package, wedding and groom’s cakes, a bouquet, digital cameras and digital photo frame, portable GPS, reception food, as well as a $1,000 Wal-Mart gift card.
