Our friends over at The Knot are running a promotion that will land one lucky couple with a wedding worth $150,000 and a luxury honeymoon in Hawaii. All you have to do is…win a golf tournament.

That’s right – in order to win the wedding of their dreams, 6 lucky couples will be selected to play nine holes of golf at the new TPC San Antonia and the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. The golf tournament will include plenty of twists and turns, and the couple that emerges will enjoy the wedding of a lifetime and that honeymoon in Hawaii!

It’s easy to enter – head over to the Knot’s contest page to tell them why you deserve to play in the tournament.

It’s a little late to plan a holiday wedding for this year (never fear, there is still time to plan a holiday eloping) but the timing is just about right to begin planning for your 2010 holiday wedding! Whether you’re looking for a wassail-filled, red and green Christmas celebration or an icy, snow, silk-and-pearls winter wonderland, we want to point you in the right direction to kickstart your planning.

Check with our friends over at The Knot for their holiday wedding resource guide to pore over dozens and dozens of inspirational pictures and ideas. Their photos of holiday cakes and reception food are particularly good! Here are some of our favorites:

When two people fall madly in love, marriage is a beautiful thing. When a bridal magazine falls madly in love with a beauty brand, that is also a beautiful thing!

The collection features nine delicious products to beautify, pamper, firm up, purify and indulge the bride-to-be. (Dark circles don’t go too well with white.) Read more about this amazing package over at The Knot’s Wedding Style blog.

Philosophy and The Knot have also come together to create an amazing Wedding Day Hope sweepstakes, where you can share your hopes and enter to win a wedding makeover, a luxurious honeymoon and more.

How’s that for a perfect marriage?

Do you make a mean lasagna? Do you have a fondness for the whole in-law concept? Are you certified in Tantra? What makes YOU marriage material?

We’re sure you can think of 100 reasons! But you only need 10.

The Wedding Channel launched a brand new Facebook app this week called 10 Reasons To Marry Me, which allows users to create a top 10 list of wedlock-worthy attributes and share it with all their friends. Try it – whether your goal is to humorously reassure your fiancé or to lure in high school friends from decades past, embrace this chance to put your best Facebook forward.

We could come up with 10 reasons to check it out, but here’s one of them: You could win a spa package for 2 from SPA WEEK®!

Think about it, if you win that’s 2 more reasons to marry you:

1) It would mean you’re one of “those lucky people”, much appreciated by poker players, sports fanatics and politicians.

2) Someone’s going to have to come with you…




We want to know… what would you say is the #1 reason to marry YOU?
