The couple who won one of the strangest competitions we’ve ever heard of have made it official and tied the knot.
Darren Donaghey won the “Punching Above Your Weight” competition with Metro Radio earlier this year after listeners voted the gap in perceived attractiveness between the groom and his bride-to-be the most extreme of all entrants.
Hairdresser Kate Cathcart, 24, and Darren, 29, said their wedding vows at the weekend, after eight years together. The guests included their adorable two-year-old son Jaxon.
Speaking about entering the competition back in March, sales advisor Darren said: “For years I’ve had stick about how I managed to woo Kate and it’s not unusual to be out together and other guys to innocently start chatting Kate up, thinking that I couldn’t possibly be with her.”
Kate added: “When we first won the competition people had been flooding the emails at Metro Radio saying how strange it was for Darren to be with me”.
“People say love is blind and I guess I must be a prime example to that, but to me, Darren really is my Prince Charming.”
For what it’s worth, we don’t think you have to be blind to see that Darren seems like a gent and a real catch. She’s a lucky girl.
