Marriage on the Midway: Calling all CNE Lovers

This year, the Canadian National Exhibition is looking for couples who have a love story or special connection to the Fair, or fans of CNE who want to celebrate their commitment to each other in an unforgettable way with a “Marriage on the Midway.”

Enter here to submit your love story for a chance to be selected for an all-expense paid* wedding celebration to take place on Saturday, August 23, 2025 at the Canadian National Exhibition.

*Marriage on the Midway Contest will include a vow ceremony under the backdrop of the iconic SuperWheel, an official wedding photographer, and wedding cake designed by a local bakery as part of the CNE’s inaugural Cake Decorating Competition. The winning couple and up to 20 of their invited guests will also receive unlimited rides to enjoy for the day courtesy of North American Midway Entertainment, $500 in food vouchers to spend, and reserved seating at the Bell CNE Bandshell to experience 98 Degrees in concert, serenading their hit wedding ballad, I Do (Cherish You).

The Marriage on the Midway Contest is open to Ontario residents ages 18 and older. Deadline to submit is August 8, 2025 at 11:59pm ET; and the winning couple will be selected by August 15th.

Marriage on the Midway is intended as a symbolic celebration of love; and is not a legally binding marriage nor ceremony that is recognized by the court of law.

Submissions for this contest is now closed. Thank you to all who participated. The chosen submission will be contacted directly by the CNE Team.
