Wedding Won on Ebay
Most people have grabbed themselves a bargain on the Ebay site, particularly brides who have found their ideal dress or favours or even a bargain honeymoon online but for one couple in Telford, they bagged themselves a sumptuous wedding reception after bidding just fifty one pounds and winning!
Twenty five year old Colette Palin and her then fiancé, thirty four year old Lee Clark were lucky enough to win their champagne reception at the Buckatree Hall which is located in Telford after the Hall had received a cancellation at the last minute.
The couple had received quotes of over a thousand pounds for their wedding reception and as Colette is pregnant, they felt it was a lot of money to spend when it could be used for other things. When Colette heard about the auction, she bid her fifty one pounds and then put it out of her mind, not thinking for a minute that she would actually win.
Their win enabled the couple to enjoy a lovely reception with their fifty guests which included champagne, floral and table decorations, a wedding breakfast consisting of three courses and a stay in the hotel for the newlyweds.
The general manager of the hotel, Jason Petty stated that they knew the event would sell for much less than should be paid for it but added that he and the staff welcomed the opportunity of helping the couple out.
Colette even managed to purchase her dress for half price and their complete wedding cost just over four thousand pounds in total.
