BERMUDA’S PERFECT 10 WEDDING CHALLENGE:
BERMUDA AND JETBLUE AIRWAYS AWARD 10 WINNING COUPLES 10 DESTINATION WEDDINGS, SET FOR 10/10/10

NEW YORK, July 12, 2010 – Ten grand-prize winning couples from across the United States have won Bermuda’s Perfect 10 contest, awarding them the opportunity to say ‘I do’ in Bermuda. The couples who’ve been chosen to jet-set to Bermuda’s fabled pink sands will head to Bermuda via a private nonstop JetBlue Airways charter flight from the airline’s home base at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), accompanied by eight guests of their choosing, to tie the knot on October 10, 2010, also known as 10/10/10.

The contest is sponsored by the Bermuda Department of Tourism (BDOT), The Knot, a leading online wedding resource, and airline partner JetBlue Airways.

Winners of Bermuda’s Perfect 10 destination wedding contest were chosen based on entries submitted on TheKnot.com by engaged couples sharing why they should win one of ten themed, wedding getaways to Bermuda. A panel of judges narrowed down the list of roughly 900 contestants to 30 finalists (three for each of the ten themed wedding categories). Then voters from around the globe ranked their favorites.

Winners will receive their chosen six-day, five-night, dream wedding, with themes including Exotic Cave, Eco-Chic, Magical Sunset, Waves of Love, Moongate, Sunset and Pink Sand, Waterfront, Harbourfront, Nostalgic Bermuda and Linked For Life, at one of ten participating resorts.

“We are very excited to welcome Bermuda’s Perfect 10 contest winners to our wonderful destination,” said William Griffith, Director of Tourism for BDOT. “Bermuda offers a diverse range of island experiences that make it an ideal destination wedding and honeymoon location.

We’ll continue to seek alliances with outstanding companies such as The Knot and participating airline sponsor JetBlue Airways as they are equally committed to serving this market.”

Bermuda’s Perfect 10 winners will stay at participating resorts, including Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa, Coco Reef Resort, Elbow Beach Bermuda, The Fairmont Hamilton
Princess, The Fairmont Southampton, Grotto Bay Beach & Tennis Club, Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort & Spa, The Reefs and Tucker’s Point Hotel & Spa.

“The Knot is thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful destination wedding partnership with both Bermuda and JetBlue,” said Shri Lildharrie, global travel director at The Knot Inc. “With the ten winners receiving well over 23,000 votes, we found this campaign to be truly amazing for The Knot and our brides.”

As part of the partnership, The Knot will publish a multi-page print media advertorial in The Knot magazine, highlighting Bermuda’s many destination wedding experiences; publicize the contest winners on the top two wedding planning websites TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com; and utilize social media outlets, including Facebook and Twitter to
provide user generated content to showcase the Bermuda experience. Couples and their guests will travel to Bermuda via private charter flight compliments of JetBlue Airways.

“We look forward to providing a unique, unforgettable ‘Something Blue’ Experience for the winning couples, their family and friends,” said Fiona Morrisson, director of brand management and advertising for JetBlue. “With our award-winning product and customer experience, we strive to make every flight as enjoyable as the destination. With a flight time of less than two hours from New York, Bermuda offers the perfect romantic escape.”
