In a recent episode of Hulu's Four Weddings and a Funeral, characters walked down the aisle and had their entire wedding sponsored by Hotels.com, with the bride sporting a branded veil and the couple sharing their special wedding vows like sponsored content. To celebrate the release of this comical episode, which many Millennials are sure to appreciate, Hotels.com is now giving real couples the chance to share their own #HotelsSponConVows for the chance to be awarded a $15K dream honeymoon.
As the average couple spends thousands of dollars on their wedding and then puts down thousands more for a honeymoon, this unconventional ask from Hotels.com promises to treat travel lovers to a trip of a lifetime—as long as they are able to plug "Hotels.com" into their wedding vows to one another.
