Cow bells and wedding vows

Show visitors will be part of a very special event this year with the winners of Wedding On Show getting hitched at the Canterbury A&P Show. In conjunction with MORE FM Canterbury, Show organisers are giving away a wedding prize package valued at $26,000, including a wedding ceremony on the Village Green at the Show on Friday 11 November 2011.

Earlier today MORE FM announced Christchurch couple Jemma and Adam as the lucky winners. Last week, the five finalist couples participated in a series of ‘wedding’ related tasks with radio listeners invited to vote for their favourite couple.

“Christchurch got behind the competition with over 2500 votes received on the MORE FM website in one week. Initially we were surprised when we received entries from 50 couples, but the response from the public has been overwhelming. Cantabrians definitely love a wedding” commented Wedding On Show coordinator Michelle Taylor.

Jemma and Adam will be married on the Village Green at this year’s Show with the ceremony taking place at 11.11am on Showday, Friday 11 November 2011. And all of Christchurch is invited to attend.

Adam's Occupation – Police Officer, New Zealand Police
Been together - 14 months
MORE FM asked Jemma why they deserve the ULTIMATE wedding package... November 11 is my birthday, and the day Adam had been teasing me he was waiting to propose to me on, but he surprised me on our one year anniversary in July with my beautiful dream ring!! Getting married on my 24th birthday which just happens to be 11/11/11 would be the greatest present possible and something we would love to be in a financial position to do anyway! Adam is my little prince and I can't wait to show the world how much we love each other. This amazing package is the perfect end to a magical week in Christchurch, one we would be honoured to share with not only our friends and family but also the public watching on.
