Saxon’s Diamond Centers Announces Winners of Its ‘Let It Rain’ Contest
Bel Air and Aberdeen, MD-based Saxon’s Diamond Centers announced the winners of its Let It Rain bridal promotion, a contest open to customers having purchased an engagement ring from the retailer. The promotion’s guidelines promised participating couples a refund of up to $3,000 if an inch or more of rainfall were to occur on their wedding day in Baltimore.
If rain is said to bring good luck on your wedding day, contest winners Greg Hunter and Megan Gernand had plenty of it; the National Weather Service in Baltimore recorded 1.92 inches of rain on the date of their nuptials, June 20. Greg and Megan are the first couple to benefit from this promotion – open to all couples who purchase an engagement ring at Saxon’s, and submit an official Let It Rain certificate 60 days prior to their wedding. “We’ve been sponsoring this program for over three years,” said co-owner Kevin Farrell in a press release. “We were starting to wonder if we’d ever have a winner. Our long wait is over; congratulations to Megan and Greg!”
