It's a hard offer to resist, but what's being described as "The Ultimate Job" is just the latest in a series of recent dream positions to serve as a brilliant marketing tool for people and places.
"It's been sort of crazy," said Rosemarie Meleady, managing director of RunawayBrideAndGroom.
com, describing the response to the new promotion. The Irish travel agency came up with the idea in part after seeing last year's blockbuster "Best Job in the World" campaign in Australia.
More than 1,000 couples have already applied for the chance to be sent to resorts in Africa, Europe, Asia and the United States.
The winners will be asked to blog about their experiences a few times a week "when they can get out of the hammock after sipping a glass of champagne", Meleady said, and write for The Irish Times once a month. They will also be paid 20,000 euros (Rs 12 lakh).
"We've had applications from Korea, China, Macedonia, Croatia and India," Meleady said.
There's also been high interest from the US, with one couple who are to be married in a California vineyard this summer vowing to cancel their plans if they win so they can get hitched in Ireland instead.
