WORRY free WEDDINGs WITH lloyds tsb insurance
For most couples the perfect day takes months of planning and preparation and can be very stressful and expensive. The majority of couples check their attire is perfect and that the caterers are booked, but most fail to realise the true value of what’s being kept in the home in the run up to the big day, warns Lloyds TSB Insurance.
With a wedding dress and accessories costing £1,000 alone, the expense can soon soar. Lloyds TSB Insurance is reminding couples that extra items kept in the house for the wedding need additional protection.
For peace of mind, Lloyds TSB Home Insurance automatically offers free extra wedding cover to all those with home contents insurance.1 The limit on the contents sum insured will be automatically increased by £3,000 for one month before and one month after the wedding of a policyholder, or any member of their family, to cover wedding gifts and extra items bought for the wedding.
Mike Mitchell, Acting Managing Director, Lloyds TSB Insurance, says: “This special extra cover for those getting married gives important protection for any items associated with the wedding that are kept in the house. The value of all these things, including gifts, soon adds up. Taking out extra wedding cover ensures that you have one less thing to worry about before you tie-the knot!”
