Congratulations Suzanne & Michael!

Let me start by thanking all of the contestants who entered the free wedding giveaway. It breaks my heart that I cannot give each one a free wedding. The runners up will receive a $300.00 credit to any one of my wedding packages or towards a custom wedding package.

Suzanne & Michael are by far the hands down winners of this contest with a whopping 508 votes! I started this contest by collecting emails as votes for each couple, within the first few hours I had over 150 votes for Suzanne & Michael. It was not required to write anything in the body of the email just to type their names in the subject line. As I received the email (by the dozens), I would first double check that it was a new email address and second I'd move them into each couple's folder that I had created. I clicked on one and realized that someone had written something in the body about Suzanne and Michael, this is what I read......

"I certainly will vote for the best couple we can have here in this world. Loving, caring, compassionate, kind and helpful to everyone."

After reading this I went back through each couple's folders and read some amazing things. Here are just a few of the things that were said about this couple..

"Suzanne & Michael are the most thoughtful young couple that I know. They're always ready to help others and going out of there way to do so. I strongly believe that they deserve to win this contest. It's time that they receive something good in their lives, since they're always giving and helping others. This would be a beautiful happy ending, for the most beautiful day of there lives. They deserve this."

"The sweetest girl…. Deserves the best!"

"Wishing the best to my brother-in-law and his awesome find……Sue!!!"

"Uncle Michael u r the best. Can we go to Chuck E Cheese again soon with Auntie Sue?"

"I don't know a couple who deserves this more! Thanks for all of your help!"

"I am so happy my brother Mike found such a wonderful person to share his life with!! I am proud to have her as a sister-in-law! My family loves and welcomes her!!"

"Hope they win!! They truly deserve this!!!"

"Sue and Mike are such an amazing couple!!! They are so passionate about one another, about life, about their community and helping others. They are always supportive of eachother. They have truly become best friends. They are hysterical to be around. Always smiling and laughing. They have definitely found their soulmates. I would love for them to win this because they are paying for everything on their own (and thru cans) and it's a struggle. They bought their first home together as well and we all know how that is. I just think this would be so fantastic for them!"

"No one deserves it more than these two. They have been through quite a lot, in order to be together."

"I'm delighted to cast my vote for Suzanne and Michael, an absolutely terrific couple!"

"I vote for Suzanne and Michael to win the free photography. They are an amazing couple – they both give so much to their communities, families and the organizations they volunteer for. You can’t find a more loving and giving couple."

"I have known Michael and Suzanne for about 5 years. I feel that they deserve this in every way possible. They have given back to the community in so many ways. Please accept my vote for Suzanne and Michel for the wedding of their life."

These are just a few of the heart-warming comments that were in all of those emails. I could go on and on! I was so touched at the love and support behind this couple I actually cried. Shhhh don't tell anyone :) I am so so so honored to be given this opportunity. Not only to document their big day, but also to be able to get to know a couple who are so clearly adored by everyone that knows them! I look forward to getting together to talk about all of the details for the most amazing day of your lives! Congratulations!
