Vying for Tying the Knot On HHI - Get Hitched on Hilton Head Introduces Three Semi-Finalist Couples

Author: SPECIAL to CH2 | Photographer: Rob Kauffman

A panel of six celebrity judges struggled to narrow down dozens of contestants to just three semi-finalists for the last round of competition in the wedding giveaway, Get Hitched on Hilton Head. The judges wrote “so many compelling stories to choose from,” and “these all seem to be deserving couples.” But in the end, three couples were ranked slightly higher than the other contestant. The Get Hitched Steering Committee had the opportunity to spend some up-close-and-personal time with the semi-finalist candidates during the last weekend in March. Committee members concur the competition will be down to the wire in the online voting event next month!

AND THE WINNERS ARE…

DAVID BATTISTE AND JULIE KLEIN

JAMES (JASON) STURDIVANT AND LAUREN MCGOOKEY

WILLIAM (CREIGHTON) STUCKART AND EMILY NELSON

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, Twitter) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
