No. The winner may be asked to share wedding or honeymoon photos for promotional purposes, but providing photos is voluntary and is not required to enter, win, or claim the prize.
The winner is responsible for any applicable federal, state, or local taxes associated with accepting the prize. The Knot may issue the winner an IRS Form 1099-MISC for the total value of the prize as required by law.
No. No purchase is necessary to enter or win, and making a purchase will not increase your chances of winning.
