Top Italian American restaurant Frankie & Benny's has been swamped with applications after offering a free wedding for Valentine's.
The popular restaurant has launched the ultimate cost of living crisis busting wedding and they've already had thousands wanting to say 'I do'.

The spectacular event called 'With Love From Frankie's', worth £10,000, includes a tailored ceremony for the lucky couple and twenty friends and family. The chosen Frankie & Benny's restaurant will be decorated for the big day and the bride, groom and guests will be greeted with tasty bites and fizz upon arrival.
The wedding party will be treated to Frankie & Benny favourites and work with the couple to create their perfect Frankie's menu.
