ORLANDO, Fla. —Putting together the perfect wedding can cost a lot of money, but an Orlando couple has come up with a way to pay for it -- corporate sponsorship. McKenzie and her fiancé, Jamil Newell, want a wedding in Thailand, but they didn't think they could afford it. McKenzie put her marketing background to work and set up a website, sponsorourwedding.com, with different levels of sponsorship. A "title sponsor" could get its logo on McKenzie's dress and Newell's tux, among other things. They have already received three sponsors and a place to stay. One company will help with the wardrobe and another will sponsor the ring. They have been talking with airline companies, retail companies and even a popcorn company.

Who cares, her / his wedding is being paid by others, it will be worth it to have the dress / tux in the wedding shots
