Columbia Pictures' Made of Honor 'Get Married at the Premiere' Contest Names Winners

COUPLE FROM CAMP HILL, PA SET TO TIE THE KNOT APRIL 28 AT THE FILM'S WORLD PREMIERE IN NEW YORK CITY

CULVER CITY, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Michelle Golightly and Shaun Bollinger of Camp Hill, PA, have been named winners of the Made of Honor "Get Married at the Premiere" contest, presented by Columbia Pictures and the #1 wedding website TheKnot.com. Selected by the public as the favorites, Michelle and Shaun were chosen from over 1,800 entries, and 18 semifinalists, and four finalists. The winning couple will also be announced tonight on "Entertainment Tonight." Made of Honor will be released in theaters nationwide on May 2, 2008.

Michelle and Shaun will be married on April 28, 2008, at the premiere of Made of Honor at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City. Mary Hart of "Entertainment Tonight" will officiate. When they tie the knot, Michelle and Shaun will receive a dream wedding, one fitting of the red-carpet movie premiere. Details of this special day will follow.

Following the wedding, the winning couple will celebrate their honeymoon by spending a romantic six nights in Europe, visiting Paris and Venice, with hotel and transportation included provided by Fleurop. When they get home, the bride and groom will receive a $3,000 Bed Bath & Beyond shopping spree in the form of a gift card.

Shaun and Michelle are both teachers: he teaches photography at Cumberland Valley High School, while she teaches second grade at Grace Baptist School in Carlisle. They met after a Carlisle High track meet; Shaun had previously been the track coach, and Michelle had succeeded him. They have been dating for a year and a half and just got engaged on March 8th. Shaun's best man is his college buddy Brit, and Michelle's maid of honor is her friend Sarah, who, she says, she has known since they were babies.

The three other semifinalists -- Katie and Jerry of Chicago, Dayna and Ty of Detroit, and Matthew and Katherine of Orem, UT -- will each receive a $1,000 Bed Bath & Beyond shopping spree in the form of a gift card to help them outfit and decorate their home.

In Columbia Pictures' Made of Honor, Tom (Patrick Dempsey) leads a good life: he's sexy, successful, and knows he can always rely on Hannah (Michelle Monaghan), his delightful best friend and the one constant in his life. It's the perfect setup until Hannah goes overseas to Scotland on a six-week business trip ... and Tom is stunned to realize how empty his life is without her. He resolves that upon her return, he'll ask Hannah to marry him -- but is floored when he learns that she has become engaged to a handsome and wealthy Scotsman and plans to move overseas. When Hannah asks Tom to be her "maid" of honor, he reluctantly agrees to fill the role ... but only so he can attempt to woo Hannah and stop the wedding before it's too late. The film is directed by Paul Weiland. The screenplay is by Adam Sztykiel and Deborah Kaplan & Harry Elfont from a story by Adam Sztykiel. The producer is Neal H. Moritz.
