At the end of 2020, award-winning hotel Carden Park launched its biggest social media giveaway to date aiming to restore some positivity following a difficult year. Recognising that Covid-19 has stolen many happy and life-changing moments from so many, the venue wanted to say a big “thank you” to its loyal guests as well as giving something back to the local community.

Across Carden Park Hotel’s Facebook and Instagram channels, the ‘Moments You Missed’ giveaway offered followers the chance to win 12 luxury staycations and visits to the luxury spa. Each prize was themed around the many occasions and experiences that may have been missed last year, including our beloved weddings. Week three was the one to look out for for brides and grooms, when they had the opportunity to win a bridal suite package.

Now that the hotel has drawn all 12 successful entrants, we can tell you that Finney Louise Sophie was the lucky winning bride. Sadly, she had her wedding postponed twice last year due to the pandemic, and was delighted to be named winner of the bridal package, which includes a bed and breakfast stay for two with an upgrade to a luxury suite. She says, “Winning this was so needed!”

Married to your surname? 26% of women are planning on keeping theirs

Lots of people are ditching traditions when it comes to modern weddings and marriage - one of which quickly losing favour is the tradition of taking your partner's surname. In a recent survey carried out by Pandora UK, almost nine in ten (88%) women said they think that attitudes to married names are changing in 2026 ¹. When asked, over a quarter (26%) of unmarried women said they'd keep their last name if they got married, whilst less than half (45%) said they'd take their partner's name. This is indicative of the shift in opinion in recent years, as when married women were asked, only a sixth (17%) of women said they kept their maiden names when they got married, whilst the majority (78%) took their partner's surname, with just 4% choosing to double-barrel their last name with their significant other.
