Planning a wedding is always exciting although this bride-to-be is missing one important detail for her big day – the groom.
The Daily Mail reports that Sam Young, from Hampshire, has already booked a limo, bought her big, white dress and planned her lavish wedding reception although she has yet to find herself a groom for the day.
Despite the fact that Sam is single, the wedding-obsessed council worker has decided to go ahead and treat herself to her dream wedding regardless.
Sam has now taken to Facebook in an attempt to find herself a man who is willing to dress up for the day and play the part of groom for the day. Sam is keen to point out though, that the man won’t have to marry her.
Her advertisment on Facebook reads:
“Bridegroom needed for fake wedding reception. Intrigued? Read on. I want a wedding receptionw ithout actually having to get married. Yes I’m nuts!! Your duties will be the first dance and then to have a good time. You can bring your (best man). If interested please PM me.
No idiots or divs please. I know this sounds nuts but it’s a genuine party. You MUST be single cos not wanting to cause any friction, and preferably over 5ft 9 and must be between the age of 40-50. Literate and a sense of humour are a must. PM me for date of event and more info.”

Sam has already bought herself an engagement ring
Sam already has an engagement ring bought and is eagerly looking forward to her big day.
“I’ve been single for a long time and I’m happily single, but I thought, ‘Why can’t I do this?’” said Sam.
“My sister and I went shopping and I was looking at all these glamorous wedding and engagement rings. She said ‘You need a bloke first’ and I thought ‘No I don’t!’ so I bought the ring – if I find a man, he can reimburse me!” she added.
Sam has already received several ‘applications’ from interested men who are willing to play the part of her groom for the day. She’s currently drawing up a short list and will make her decision soon.
