All over the UK brides-and-grooms-to-be uploaded their snapshots and videos to say why they wished to win a free island wedding in The Bahamas. They had to choose between 16 different islands and wedding styles, from barefoot-on-the-beach ceremonies to marrying on the ocean floor with dolphins in attendance.
A backdrop of an iconic candy-striped lighthouse or the regal elegance of 14th century cloisters. Whether opting for the accompaniment of boisterous music and colourful Junkanoo costumes or the soft tinkling of seashell wind-chimes, every island offers a special opportunity for their truly unforgettable ‘big-day’.
The public cast thousands of votes for the 255 entries and the judging panel has made its final selection to enable us to announce the winners. The sixteen couples to win a luxury wedding on 16 Islands of The Bahamas, each with a different theme and including a designer dress, rings and wedding ceremony, are:
THE ABACOS Carla Nevill and Daniel Coote from Baldock, Hertfordshire
ACKLINS Louise Murfin and Steven Bennett from Ferndale, Huddersfield
ANDROS Helen Hewett and Jonathan Briley from Tuffnell Park, London
THE BERRY ISLANDS Jade Chin and Mikhail Tokarczyk from Kentish Town, London
BIMINI Lindsay McAloon and Charles Price from Bath
CAT ISLAND Joanna Wicenciak and Peter Dennis from Scunthorpe
CROOKED ISLAND Felicity Carpenter and Andrew Webb from Amesbury, Wiltshire
ELEUTHERA Jill Barthram and Phillip Jones from London
THE EXUMAS Grazina Zaveckaite and Ruslanas Nekipelovas from Edinburgh
GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND Mary Gleeson and James Potter from Dover
HARBOUR ISLAND Laura James and Richard Baker from Whiteley, Fareham

NASSAU Claire Gordon and Jason Harris from Rhyl, North Wales
MAYAGUANA Claire Wilcox and James Williams from York
PARADISE ISLAND Adele Freeman and John Applin from Balby, Doncaster
SAN SALVADOR Teresa Maria Gilarranz Pena and Tarik Demnati from London
All 16 lucky couples will fly out to The Bahamas in May and take two wedding guests with them as witnesses. Nassau, Paradise Island and Grand Bahama Island, Eleuthera, The Abacos and Harbour Island are probably the best known from the 16 islands but our amazing offer includes the islands of Andros, Cat Island, Bimini, The Berry Islands and Long Island plus, further south, The Exumas, San Salvador, Mayaguana, Acklins and Crooked Island.
As well as a personally tailored Bahamian island ceremony, each bride can choose any designer wedding dress from the Tia range by Benjamin Roberts plus wedding rings up to the value of £500 courtesy of Goldsmiths.
As well as the two special wedding guests each couple can take with them as part of their prize, family and friends can also book special packages through Kuoni to join their lucky couple.
