I vote for Matt and Wendy! What I love most is how fast they fell in love. I feel strongly about love and time. People always think so negatively about it but I believe love has its own pace. It can hit at any moment.

I vote for Matt & Wendy - Good luck and Cogratulations on your engagement.

I vote for couple #5

I vote for couple #5

Voting for MATT and JALYN!!!!! No couple deserves to win this more than they do! Vote for the high school sweet hearts!!!!

I would like to place my vote for Matt & Jalyn. I am Matt's father, and I am so proud of him, for all he has accomplished and overcome. This wedding is going to be so special to all of us, but aside from Matt & Jalyn, the most special to me. Matt is doing it right, he is strong and couragous and I am going to be lucky enough to watch him take his next step in life. I love Jalyn already as a daughter and am welcoming her into our family with open arms. (it's about time) I am touched by all the stories, and humbled by theirs, to be mentioned and to have been the motivation for a "sooner" wedding. Your "pay it forward" actions with this giveaway is in keeping with Matt and Jalyn's lifestyle and it would be lovely to see them be on the receiving end. Thank you for making for making this oppurtunity possible. What special people you must be!

I vote for couple number 3

I vote for Matt and Wendy; couple number 3 I know you two deserve this!

I am very touched by each of the stories. It wasn't until I heard about this giveaway and then looked at your website and saw your gorgous work that I realized what an incedible oppurtunity this would be for them. Being Matt's mom, I of course am voting for couple 5, knowing how important pictures of this day will be not only to Matt and Jalyn, but to the whole family. Thank you for your generosity.

My name says Jean, but I am Grammy to Matthew and Jalyn. At my age, I can barely navigate this internet thing, so I hope all this effort was worth it. ( smiliy face however you young people do it) I vote couple 5.

I know Kristina would truly appreciate this giveaway. she is such a special woman. we cant believe our little kristina is growing up and is going to be a married woman now! amelia, they need you!!! this is an epic event for both their families. couple 4 reminds me of kevin arnold and winnie cooper from wonder years. their wedding was meant to be. lets repay them with a nice gift for the new year.

I vote for Matt and Wendy - congrats on your engagement

I am voting for Jalyn & Matt

Amelia and Justin!! You guys have had an amazing response from all of this!! I thank you both for selecting Jalyn and Matt as your top 5! Being a finalist alone has been more than overwhelming for both of them! And I know they've thoroughly enjoyed reading all the comment from family, friends, "Miss G's" students and colleagues.... So just as one last HOORAH, I wanted to say again that I VOTE FOR MATT AND JALYN! (or as our slogan goes, I VOTED 5! TEAM JALYN AND MATT!). Matt and Jalyn give of themselves every single day without complaint or question.They've been together for 10 years, as highschool sweethearts and have always put their friends and family first. They don't make alot of money with Jalyn being a teacher and having been recently laid off, but as Jalyn puts it, "We have what counts, we're happy, we're healthy, and we're lucky to have each other"

I vote for Matt and Wendy - sure hope ya'll win! :)
