According to the Daily Mail, Lee Rowlands and Madelaine Moir (both 37), were one of five couples in the competition final.
They were all vying to win the prize by raising the most money for charity in a week.
It is believed the couple were working 20 hours a day to try and raise the money, when Rowlands suffered a "psychotic episode".
It is alleged he began hearing voices and attached Miss Moir with two kitchen knives as she cowered on the floor.
Sheffield Crown Court heard how Moir was wounded on her breast, arm, fingers and knee. Following the attack, Rowlands ran into the street believing he had killed her.
On Monday, Rowlands was jailed for 28 months after admitting unlawful wounding. He will be released in a few weeks, as he has been in custody for 13 months and would have been automatically freed at the halfway point of his sentence.
Moir is said to have stood by her fiancé and says they still hope to get married.
The couple entered the competition run by Hallam FM, a Sheffield-based independent radio station, in the hopes of winning a £25k wedding package. The prize included venue hire, dress, flowers and a photographer, as well as a honeymoon in Sri Lanka.
The couple had been together for two years before the attack in March last year.
Judge Robert Moore said Rowlands had been receiving mental health treatment and his release in a few weeks under licence would enable him to continue his rehabilitation.
