Just Engaged and Proposals

a wedding contest

As many of you know, a very dear friend of mine underwent kidney transplant surgery last year. Leah is doing remarkably post-transplant and was very blessed to receive a kidney so quickly. Because of her illness and in-ability to work for several months after the transplant, funds were quickly diminished for simple living expenses that many of us take for granted.
 
A while before Leah became sick enough to consider a kidney transplant, her boyfriend of many years proposed. The wedding plans began, but were quickly placed on the backburner because of her health. Josh and Leah grew stronger as a team through her surgery and recovery.
 
The St. Augustine Record is conducting a contest to giveaway a dream wedding to one lucky couple. Josh and Leah submitted a video to this contest and have made it to the final 11. Now it's our job to get them the dream wedding they want and deserve. Visit http://staugustine.com/ido to vote for Joshua and Leah's video. The voting closes on April 21st, so please act quickly. Only one vote is accepted per email address.
 
I ask you to please vote for them and pass this information along to your family and friends. I couldn't think of any other couple who deserves this more, after all they have been through.
 
Thank you in advance for your participation.

    No, since it says 1 next to your post count. Are you reposting someone's email to you? or something? I'm confused. Why does it say a different SN at the bottom? Did the knot mess up & you are a regular? I'm just confused.

    Plus begging for contests votes is bad form. Sorry about your friend, but I hate these types of posts.

    No, I don't know you, because you've never posted here before?
    I hate these contest things.
    Also, you should remove your full name from the post.
  • How bout, no. Thanks!

  • Wow, I didnt realize how ugly people could be about this...sorry.  Just needing some help that's all.  Good luck with your weddings.  It was for a contest for me and my fiance.  The letter was written by my best friend about our situation and I copied it because she was much more eloquent than I am.  I did not realize that this was in poor taste as I am new to these types of fourms...I just thought hey what the heck, I'll try to reach a larger audience to help us win by voting

    sorry
  • no harm done, just realize when you post to a forum like this you encounter hundreds of other brides who would also like someone else to pay for their weddings. :)
