Say whaaat?!
According to Fox News:
"Brides and grooms in Colorado could potentially have a portion of their wedding comped with a new state government program.
The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) has launched the Meeting and Events Incentive, a 10% cash rebate program that can award between $3,500 to $100,000 to residents who plan or host an eligible "event or meeting."
Weddings just so happen to be included in the OEDIT’s list of eligible events alongside business meetings, conferences, conventions, exhibitions, trade shows, concerts and other gatherings.
Couples who wish to apply to the program will need to have their wedding hosted anytime between July 1, 2021 and Dec. 31, 2022.
Additional eligibility requirements include having a total wedding bill of $35,000 or more, generating at least 25 paid overnight room nights at a hotel and be contacted on or after April 6, 2021. Alternatively, weddings that are at risk of "cancellation, postponement, or relocation outside of Colorado without support" are eligible, according to the OEDIT’s website."
