Greensboro couple raced to altar, won honeymoon cruise
CHARLESTON, S.C. — A Greensboro couple ran in a 10K race and sprinted to the altar to say "I do" last weekend.
Andy Cook and Tina Berwanger won Carnival Cruise Lines national "Race to the Altar" contest and received a five-day Bahamas honeymoon cruise aboard Carnival Fantasy, according to a news release.
Carnival hosted its' first-ever post-race wedding ceremony at the 2011 Cooper River Bridge Run. The ceremony was the culminating event in the "Race to the Altar" contest and fundraiser. The cruise line made a $10,000 donation to the Medical University of South Carolina Children’s Hospital.
Carnival selected Cook and Berwanger as the winners based on their personal story.
The couple ran in custom-designed wedding attire, then were married in a beach-themed ceremony complete with sand, calypso band and slushy drinks in Charleston’s Marion Square.
