Couple Lauren Lane and Daniel Welch
have been looking forward to their wedding day when something horrible happened to them weeks before their
special day – their wedding venue went bankrupt.
The couple had already shelled out £4,500 for their wedding venue Chewton Place in Kyensham, UK. Their initial deposit included the cost of the ceremony and dinner reception for 150 guests.
With thousands of pounds worth of savings lost, the bride-to-be made an appeal to Twitter. With a desperate plea for help, Lauren tweeted "Help needed with aspects of our wedding after venue goes bust with 6 weeks to go and with our £4.5k!"
Her bridesmaids and friends all took part in the campaign by tweeting the same message. When celebrities Davina McCall and Dannii Minogue retweeted the same post to their thousands of followers, flocks of wedding suppliers were more than willing to help the engaged couple out.

The childhood sweethearts were overwhelmed by the offers they received such as wedding clothes, a pair of gold wedding bands, jewelry and a three-tiered chocolate cake. A make-up artist, a wedding photographer, and a new wedding planner were also willing to offer their services for free or at a reduced rate.
Thanks to the power of Twitter, Lauren and Daniel were able to push through their wedding. Aside from suppliers from the wedding industry, well-wishers helped made their day special. The couple received an estimated £10,000 worth of freebies, thanks to Twitter followers.
