Getting hitched? This new website has everything you need, including HKD50,000 worth of prizes!

If you’ve had the pleasure of recently accepting a marriage proposal or having a marriage proposal accepted, you must be rather chuffed. If you and your soon-to-be-permanent other half absolutely insist on having anything other than nuptials at a Wan Chai bus stop, however, you’ll quickly be rather unchuffed when you realise how expensive that whole darn wedding thing is actually going to be.

But hey, this is something you’re only going to do once (fingers crossed), so it’s probably worth setting your sights a little higher than Lockhart Road, no offence Coyote.

That said, in our book at least, thriftiness is a wonder only just surpassed by true love itself, so there’s absolutely no shame in putting your hat in the ring to win some awesome wedding freebies if occasion allows.

Enter Hitchbird, a new Hong Kong-based one-stop wedding portal that’s hosting a simply sexy summer giveaway that’ll make you want to cheat on your best laid wedding plans.

Among the 30 prizes totaling over HKD50,000 in value is a pre-wedding photo shoot  holiday package, (including a 3D2N stay at Studio City Macau); a 3D2N stay at Holiday Beach Danang Hotel & Resort, Vietnam, (including breakfast and spa sessions for two everyday); a HKD5,000 wedding gown coupon from Noel Chu Atelier; a HKD5,000 wedding videography coupon from AP Studio; and a HKD2,000 wedding cake coupon from Sweetpea Patisserie.

And even if you’re not lucky enough to find your soulmate AND win one of those fab prizes, rest assured that you’ll receive an 18 percent discount code from ZALORA just for entering the competition. (Obviously they were worried that a full 20 percent would make your little loved up head explode.)

Meanwhile, take a wee nosey around Hitchbird, where you can browse and compare everything your could possibly want for a wedding in cities all across the Asia Pacific, from florists, to caterers, to those little favours you’ll spend hours agonizing over that the majority of your guests will inevitably leave behind. Sorry, but it’s true.

And if you’re wondering about Hitchbird’s credentials, you’ll no doubt be interested to hear it was launched in January by local entrepreneur Tammy To – who once upon a time (in 2008) organised her own wedding in just 48 hours when she had to suddenly switch to an all together different country when protests shut down Bangkok Airport. Needless to say, this is a woman who knows a thing or two about wedding planning.
