You’ll want to be pretty sure you’re going to live happily ever if you’re accepting this deal.
A Seattle start-up are now willing to give eligible couples up to $10,000 to fund their weddings… but if the marriage ends, you have to pay it all back, with interest.
According to Time, Swanluv want you to bet on the chances your marriage will last forever, and they’ll do their own tests to judge your chances of success.
The company plan to review each candidate couple’s relationship, setting an interest rate on their compatibility.
Co-founder Scott Avy won’t reveal the compatibility criteria, but has promised that the numbers “won’t be too crazy.”
While it might sound like betting against yourself, couples who find their happy ending don’t have to pay back a cent of their gift… which might be some added motivation to work on those Newlywed arguments after the honeymoon period wears off.
Swanluv refuse to believe that they’re benefitting from other people’s misery though – claiming the repaid loans will go towards paying for another perspective couple’s wedding, with co-founder Avy explaining:
“Swans, they mate for life. That’s what we’re trying to get behind, everlasting marriage.”
The company instead plan to make their fortunes by selling ad revenue.
