The couple will say "I do" - and I thank the sponsor?

Present day
Some couples save their marriages. Some families have to pay for the big day. And then there's Jamil Newell and Courtney McKenzie. The couple wants a wedding and honeymoon in Thailand, but I do not know how the price tag of $ 30,000. You are looking for corporate sponsorship by the Today Show.

"I thought, 'Why not link my two loves My soon-to-be husband Jamil and my love for marketing?" McKenzie today.

The two have created a website called SponsorOurWedding.com in the description of six different levels of sponsorship:

Out-of-the-box sponsorship opportunities are designed to work with your company to us; Your logo on the wedding dress of the bride on their logo on the elephant ride after our ceremony. Our wedding sponsor sponsorship provides a channel to your corporate brand and your business as an active participant in our promotion of "marrying a thing." Let's take a percentage of the money raised for charity. Your participation is important to make our "wedding with a Cause" with success!

Of course, one has to wonder how the public will be for all of these possibilities. McKenzie and Newell explained that they probably will not be a sum of 30,000 social media followers, but most to fly for the wedding Thailand.

McKenzie described as "an award-winning entrepreneur and digital media consultant who works with Fortune 500 companies to create social media competitions and events." Newell is a "Southern Gentleman", the power lines for the live broadcast designs.

Until now a hotel in Thailand has agreed to start, while two other companies offer closet and ring. What covers only half of the total of $ 30,000 , according to Cosmopolitan. Your goal is, all expenses are covered by the donation of an unspecified percentage Charity.

You know how couples interested in a way to cover the cost when you consider that this can be, average wedding cost in the United States is $ 25,200 , according to the marriage relationship. But there are expensive celebrations such as "most couples spend less than $ 10,000."

McKenzie and Newell are not the first to arrive at the idea of a sponsored wedding. For example, Ben and Samantha Sherwin Moseley in United Kingdom Search companies in order to support their marriage , according to the Spiegel Online. Both sisters were under time pressure, Moseley moved to Australia, created the site of the wedding day 123 , where current sponsors listed. However, Sherwin Moseley and you would not have covered. You paid for the ring and the wedding dress, for example, and Moseley father is to give a honeymoon in Egypt. The couple said that the money saved will go to charity Save the Children.

The idea of a sponsored wedding is really over. In 2005, a few advertising spaces sold at the event to cover the cost, according to WeddingSponsorships.com which have connected claims that "local and national companies engaged couples for over 18 years."

Wait McKenzie Newell and stay together. Get sponsors for the divorce would probably be much more difficult it is.
