敢不敢賭!結婚可貸1萬美元,不離就不用還!

推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 2.67W 次

A new wedding website is asking couples to bet on their everlasting love by offering candidates up to $10,000 for their dream weddings - with just one catch.

一家新成立的結婚網站正邀請新婚夫婦將他們的永恆真愛作賭注,來換取1萬美元的夢想婚禮基金。條件只有一個:白首不相離。

Seattle-based tech start-up SwanLuv promises to fund couples' weddings free of charge as long as they stay married. However, if they end up getting divorced, they are obligated to pay the money back - with interest.

美國西雅圖剛成立的科技公司SwanLuv承諾免費向新人提供婚禮基金,條件是他們必須維持婚姻。一旦離婚,這筆錢須連本帶息歸還。

SwanLuv CEO Scott Avy told NewsFix that the new site is like 'a casino for marriage', but in order to make sure the house has a slight advantage, couples with seemingly stronger relationships based on the company's algorithm software will be given higher interest rates.

SwanLuv首席執行官科斯特·阿維把他的網站比作“婚姻賭場”。爲了保證“賭場”能略有盈餘,公司會採用一種算法軟件來評估婚姻前景,如果新人前景看起來較好,那麼利率就會被定的更高。

According to the website, which is slated to launch in February, 'couples who have found their soul mate and need help making their dream wedding a reality' are the ones who should sign up for the unique lending service.

該網站計劃將在明年2月推出該活動,已經找到自己靈魂伴侶的新人可在該網站註冊享受該福利,拿到夢想婚禮基金、夢想成真。

And while one would presume that Swanluv would want users' marriages to fail, the site is working on a way to offer free marriage counseling to help couples stay together.

當然我們都認爲Swanluv是希望用戶最後婚姻破裂,從而拿回那筆錢。然而該網站表示,目前正在考慮希望能爲婚後的夫妻提供免費的婚姻諮詢。

The only other stipulation is that couple should plan to get married within two years of applying for funding.

另外還有一項規定,新人要在申請婚禮基金兩年內結婚。

According to GeekWire, the CEO said the company is looking to add a few other stipulations to users' contracts, including a clause that makes one party responsible for paying the debt if the marriage ends because of abuse.

首席執行官科斯特·阿維表示,公司目前正在考慮在用戶合同上添加一些其他規約,其中一項條款表明,若夫妻一方因家暴導致婚姻破裂,該方將負責償還此款項。

SwanLuv is currently taking applications and is hoping to start making payments right in time for Valentine's Day, but Avy admitted that many couples will probably decide not to take the loan at the end of the process.

SwanLuv目前正在接受申請,並希望能趕上在情人節前爲新人提供婚禮基金,但阿維承認,很多夫妻可能最終會決定不接受這筆錢。

'It really depends on where you are in your relationship,' Amanda Johnson told GeekWire. 'I'm betting on my relationship I've established with my soulmate.'

“這取決於你們這段關係已經到了哪一步,”阿曼達·約翰遜表示,“我敢用我的婚姻打賭,這段婚姻是我和我的靈魂伴侶共同建立起來的,我相信我們能一直走下去。”
