The groom said, “I wouldn’t say I had to convince Amy but I hadn’t known her long. When we entered the competition we weren’t even engaged. “We knew we had to take the opportunity. “There is no way with kids we would have been able to afford this ourselves. “This had made our dreams come true. “The fact we can have everyone there is amazing.
