It looks like it might be time to lock up your daughters again – or sons for that matter!
On the back of Merrick and Rosso’s ‘Un-Wedding Planners’ promotion earlier this year, Nova 100 is putting up $20 000 for a bride and groom – the only catch is breakfast co-host, Dave Hughes, will be the celebrant!
Hughesy – or ‘The Love Doctor’ in this instance – wants to marry a Melbourne couple and give them a wedding they will never forget! He will even make all the arrangements – from the vows, the bucks’ and hens’ nights, the wedding dress and, of course, the big day!
He is promising that nothing will be sacred, and would be couples are probably well advised to remember this. Hughesy has provided the following guarantees for doubting couples:
* It will be the most memorable (unforgettable) day of your life
* You will never look or feel the same again!
* People will be talking about it for years
* You could won $20 000 if you say ‘I do’.
There is a disclaimer: Hughesy (Love Doctor) does not discriminate against virgins, divorcees, de factos or people who do not support Carlton in the AFL!
Back in February, Nova 96.9’s Merrick & Rosso ran a similar promotion, sending a ‘lucky’ couple on the honeymoon of their ‘dreams’. The only problem was that all the arrangements had to be their – ‘or the highway’!
And, A Wollongong man suffered a lengthy ‘nightmare’, after ‘winning’ a $10 000 i98FM ‘Doomed Groom’ promotion and spending a week handcuffed to his future mother in law!
Marty & Erica, i98FM’s breakfast duo, took the whole mother in law gag to an entirely new level, interviewing three couples a day on air for three weeks and allowing listeners to vote on their favourites.
Derek (Spud) Gray and future mother in law, Debbie Worland, were handcuffed to each other and had to complete a multitude of tasks each day, as set by i98FM and listeners. At least twice every day, they were taken to an extremely public location with a boom box and forced to perform Riverdance for the amusement of the crowd. A cross dressing exercise and a ‘train ride from hell’ were also planned.
One night, Spud and Debbie had to sleep in the front window of the Wollongong Capt’ Snooze store. They did not get too much sleep, as there were listeners outside in the street until around 5am, pushing various body parts against the window and making some rather unusual requests of the couple.
