Wendy’s UK is turning the nation’s love stories into an unforgettable celebration by giving couples the chance to win a fully-catered Wendy’s wedding – but there’s a catch!
One of the partners must have red hair! Whether it’s natural, dyed or a red-hot wig*.
The wedding is Wendy’s way of celebrating the UK’s redhead community, which is approximately 8% of the population, whilst paying homage to the loveable face of the brand, Melinda Lou “Wendy” Thomas, the red-haired daughter of Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas.
Eager couples from the East Midlands have until February 28 to submit their love story via social media to Wendy’s UK Instagram or TikTok pages.
The couple with the most compelling story will win the ultimate Wendy’s ‘Redhead Wedding’ on their chosen date including a three-course Wendy’s menu for up to 150 guests and a dedicated catering team.
All entrants will receive vouchers to enjoy Wendy’s delicious menu throughout the year!
Wendy’s UK Managing Director Michael Clarke said: “Weddings are among life’s biggest milestones and at Wendy’s, we’re all about bringing more joy to the moments that matter most,”
“That’s why we’re excited to celebrate the UK’s brilliant redhead community with something a little unexpected. Whether it’s savouring a Wendy’s Double or sharing hot and crispy chicken nuggets, we want to give one couple a wedding day that’s full of flavour, fun and unmistakable Wendy’s joy.”
Wendys UK have East Midlands restaurants in Derby and Nottingham city centres.
