Couples planning to invest in wedding insurance and tie the knot may be keen to register their interest for the chance to win a marriage ceremony.
Leicester County Council has invited brides and grooms-to-be to attend an open day at its registry office in Hinckley.
From 10:00 GMT until 16:00 GMT on Saturday (February 25th), individuals can meet with employees at the Atkins Building to discuss holding nuptials at the venue.
Diane Reed, registration services manager for the county council, said: “This is a great chance for budding couples to meet our staff and see how attractive our latest ceremony rooms are.”
All those who attend the open day will be entered into a competition to win a free wedding or civil partnership at the registry office.
The venue has a choice of six different rooms where couples can exchange vows in front of a small selection of friends and family members.
Couples may be inspired to invest in wedding insurance after hearing how one bride and groom had their big day ruined by blunders at their venue.
Newlyweds Michelle and Peter Rogers claim Kent County Council made their nuptials memorable for all the wrong reasons and they are now seeking compensation.
The first incident was the news on arrival at the venue that the registrar was out walking her dog so could not attend and a replacement would not arrive for two hours.
Mr Rogers passed the time in a local pub, while his bride was forced to sit alone in a dingy side room.
However, once the officiator arrived, things still failed to go according to plan, as she brought the wrong vows, the CD player would not work and Ms Rogers was accidentally referred to by her middle name.
Another couple who were recently jilted by their registrar are Gary and Marie Mead, who spent £9,000 on their Spanish ceremony only for the priest not to arrive, the Daily Mail reported.
Brides and grooms looking to invest in wedding insurance ahead of their big day may be inspired by one couple who lost nearly 20 stone between them in preparation for their ceremony.
Kate Bonwick and her husband John Butler told the Daily Mail how they were determined to slim down before saying I do.
“Our wedding was the best day of my life.

Wedding insurance customers may be shocked to hear how England manager Fabio Capello is set to miss his sons nuptials.
Pierfilippo Capello will tie the knot on Saturday (November 12th) without his father in attendance after a match had to be rescheduled.
A clash with Barcelonas domestic games has led to the England friendly with Spain being moved from Friday to the following day.
The Football Association confirmed Capello will be at Wembley instead of the wedding and it seems his son understands the managers commitments.
“He is a football manager first; he has been that ever since I was a child and sometimes being a football manager can make strange demands on your time,” the groom-to-be told the Independent.
As well as a long career as a manager, Capello was a successful midfielder with Italian teams Roma, Juventus and Milan.
He took over as England boss in December 2007.
