READING, Ohio (May 5, 2008) - The Reading Bridal District is seeking entrants looking for the chance to win a free wedding. The wedding will take place on May 17, 2008 at the end of the bridal district's annual Runaway Bride 5k race.

The winning couple, after completing the race, will receive a free wedding dress, tuxedo and accessories, as well as flowers and a traditional wedding cake - all provided as part of a prize package from the vendors in the Reading Bridal District. The wedding will be performed by Reading Mayor Robert "Bo" Bemmes.

More than 500 runners are expected to participate in the race, providing lots of "witnesses" for that special couple.

Located in the northern suburbs of Cincinnati, Reading is home to more than 25 shops specializing in all things wedding.

To enter for a chance to win the free wedding, immediately following the Runaway Bride and Groom race, please send a note explaining why this would be your idea of a perfect wedding to Megan Licursi.

Entrants will be selected randomly.
