The competition, organised by the Wedding Extravaganza Show in association with Cool FM will be holding heats across the province over the next six weeks in order to find one lucky bride and groom who will walk away with an amazing bridal package!

Tanya Doory, organiser of the event has been astounded at the response, she said: “We have six heats ahead of us and already have around 220 brides who have entered the competition, to get such a massive response so quickly is fantastic”.

The brides were put through a series of questions, tasks and challenges, including having to stick their hands into a box filled with worms and locusts in order to be in with a chance of getting through to the final.

Jennifer emerged as the lucky bride to be from the Belfast heat and will compete against another five finalists to win the 20k dream wedding.
