Wedding Contest Results?!

A Look at the Final Ten
As most of you know, the Farmers’ Almanac Worst Wedding Weather Contest voting period ended on March 17th. The votes have been tallied, paperwork is being worked on, and the winners will be announced right here – March 31st.

Campaigning at its best!
The final ten had the opportunity to campaign for their worst wedding weather story. We sent them press releases they could then send to local media, and they were encouraged to go out and hit the campaign trail.

What Did They Do?
No there were no boring debates, only fun local interviews and creative campaigning. Check out what some of the couples did:

• Local newspapers and TV stations interviewed many of our couples.
• One couple hit the streets (with their kids) and campaigned from door to door.
• Another couple had mass emails go out from their workplace, encouraging people to vote.
• One couple’s supporters put fliers on people’s windshields.

Who will win?
We got over 25,000 votes in two weeks. The votes are being tabulated and the results will be reported, online around March 31!

While all of our couples in the Top Ten, as well as of the couples who entered our contest, experienced not very nice weather on their big day, it is amazing how the weather made it even more memorable.

If choosing a date for the “BIG DAY” isn’t hard enough, here’s an old weather rhyme about getting married.
