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 team at Frankie & Benny's have been astounded by the number of applicants, many of the lovebirds had their first date at one of the restaurants and want to celebrate their special day where they first met.
You still have a chance to win, so long as you've just tied the knot, or about to, have a great love story, then you can apply for the free wedding. All applications need to be submitted via Facebook/Instagram by January 29, 2023.
Frankie & Benny's announced on its social media channels that with disposable income at an all time low they were stepping in to play Cupid. Frankie & Benny's believe that money might not buy you love but it can buy you a free wedding reception with food, drink, a photographer and a special celebrity guest as a secret wedding crasher!
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. Anything from the much loved garlic pizza bread with gooey mozzarella to the unbeatable creamy carbonara and the extensive vegan offerings. There will also be a videographer on the day to capture the magic moments.

RSVPing 'YES' to multiple weddings? Here's how to budget!
Attending weddings can be a joyous occasion, but it can also be expensive, particularly if you're invited to more than one over the course of the year. Costs such as new outfits, travel and accommodation, and gifts mean the overall expense of attending can quickly add up. Duncan Fortune, Head of Commercial at Tesco Bank, says: "Wedding season can be a significant expense for households. Planning ahead and setting a dedicated budget for celebrations can help spread the cost over several months, allowing people to make the most of the celebrations while keeping their finances on track."
