LOVED-UP couples can still win their dream wedding for just £1.

A fundraising venture for Dorset County Hospital’s Digital Mammography Appeal has seen local businesses club together to offer the complete wedding package as a raffle prize.

Hundreds of raffle tickets have already been sold but there is still an opportunity to get hold of them before the winners are revealed at Bennetts Water Gardens in Weymouth at 4pm this Sunday.

The prize will include the wedding rings, the dress, flowers and venue – all for the price of just £1.

Neil Strudwick, from Goldcrest Jewellers in Dorchester’s Hardye Arcade, came up with the idea to support the Mammography Appeal and will be donating two nine-carat handmade gold rings.

He said: “We want people to know that we have still got tickets left and they are still on sale right up to the close of business on Saturday and on Sunday at Bennett’s Water Gardens.

“Looking at our pot we have reckon we have done 400 or 500 and we still have to go round all the businesses and collect their tickets.

“We want to get as much money in as possible cause each pound is a pound going towards the appeal.”

Bennetts Water Gardens will provide the wedding venue, with the Old Ship Inn at Upwey supplying the setting for the reception.

Dorchester’s LA Brides will be providing the wedding dress and Moss Bros in the county town will kit out the bridegroom.

East Side Barbers on Portland will do the bridegroom’s hair, with ID Hair of Dorchester looking after the bride.

Flowers will be provided by Jackaranda flowers in Weymouth, with Arty Party Cakes, also from Weymouth, creating the wedding cake and Dorchester photographer Greg Cameron Day will take the pictures. Tickets are available from most of the businesses participating in the scheme and Dorset County Hospital’s charitable funds office.

The Mammography Appeal was launched in March and aims to raise £500,000 for a new digital scanner for the hospital.

Dedicated chairman of the appeal Wendy Nightingale is nearing her goal with more than £410,000 raised so far and urged people to support the wedding raffle.
