win my dream wedding

From the time I was a little girl I dreamed of having a beautiful wedding and just being married. And I truley thought I would be married by now. My fiance and I have been together for 7 yrs this October, and we have a beautiful 2 yr. old named Kaia. We have been together since we where teenagers, and have pushed through so much together and yet because the world is so hard and we work everyday and i also attend collage we have no money to even think of how we could fit in paying for a wedding. Thats probably been the hardest thing, knowing that I found the person that I would love to spend my life with and we can’t because we can’t afford it. We just started a family and did the things married people do, but I think that its EVERY girls dreams to have a wedding and have your family there to help celebrate two people that love eachother. I swear I would give anything to have a wedding…and the funny thing is, when I got pregnant I gained a good 40 lbs..and then when she turned one I remember looking at myslef and sayin “What has happened to you” by that point I was so wrapped up in being a great mother and “wishful” wife, I ballooned to almost 300 lbs…since then in the last 9 months I have lost 60 lbs and have started P90X, the most hardcore workout program I have ever encountered. Just in hopes that one day if I ever get the chance..I want to be the most beautiful bride. That is a dream I have dreamed of for as long as I can remember. I just wish that dream would become a reality.. =)

I love my fiance very much he propeosed to me via little messages all around the house and at 12 oclock xmas eve my ring was there waitin for me he even went down on one knee which i never expected. He took on my 2 children as his own and my children got on with him like a house on fire , We planned our date was to be 29th august 2009 all plans were set in place and deposits paid .Then came the bad news like so many others our jobs were in the balance within 2 weeks of each other we both lost our jobs and because we hadnt been in them for many years we were not entitled to any pay it hit us hard and we had to live so our wedding was cancelled, on our supposed to be wedding day we tried to keep busy but the tears just came and it hurt so much the sun was shining it was the perfect day, we pulled ourself together and said we will do it one day . i cant express how much i love him but everyday he makes me feel safe . times are hard . but one day we will have our perfect wedding and it will be a day to remember for all of us .

hi my name is erica and my adoring fiance is liam. where to start?... first I was just getting out of a nine year relatioship when met liam by shear faith, when we look back on how exact seconds of us meeting in a bathroom line at a bar and all the possibilities that could have stopped us fron meeting…if I or would pf just waitd one more minute or got tangled up in the crowd. He too was coming out of a bad 5yr relationship too. His friends made him go out that night as so did my friends. we believe is was plan in the making from a higher power it actually made us join a church because we believed. From the time he called we talked for hours and then met for dinner that same night which I lived an hr away. That night we fell in love litterally I never went back home since the first date I moved all my stuff in 2 days after we met we just knew everyone just knew cause we are very sane people, Now almost 2 years later we have been through the most difficult situations that life could deal us financially, myself almost dying due to my health condition and moving 3 times, and through it all we never fought with each other but just pulled together and made it through together. The reason why Im asking for help is because I want to marry this man and vice versa so incredibily much. Im 29 yrs old and have been a juvenile diabetic now for 20 years, which has put a beating on my body I do have medical bills from not having insurance and paying for my meds like insulins. The reason im writing is we desperatly want to have children dr’s have told me though i am at the point with my diabetes its now or never so if i dont have a baby within the next two years my body (more then anything my kidneys) wants be able to handle it. I am catholic as is he I want to be married with the man I love before we get pregnant. all through life i always considered myself unlucky with erverthing that was dealt to me health wise. Untill I met liam and now I want to do all those things in life. please be the one to let a little luck shine down on me for once. If not we really cant afford a nice wedding we cant afford a house yet. This wedding is my dream for marrying the man I love and having the family I need. Hopefully you give us a chance. Thank you for reading this if anyone does.

The truth of the matter is we do not have the money for a wedding because of very large medical bills from a illness no fault of my own. Four years ago I became deathly ill from a prescription drug I was perscribed to, it caused my pancreas to start dying, which I only have about 4o % left and am now type 1 diabetic. I have had exploratory surgiers, external drians and about a 10% chance to live and that was me being left a brittel diabetic. The doctors came to my mother, telling her that her only child would not make it much longer. My mother told them they had no faith and basiclly begged me to fight. My mom is a smart woman saying I would live, I would walk again and find the man of my dreams that would love me no matter what. Thinking of anyone loving me as I lay there watching the world go by through my hospital room I did not have much hope. Everyone left me when I got sick, I finally beat the odds for the third time and started thinking about this life I could maybe have. I actually found Tim online, I was almost scared tro get close because I didnt want to hurt him if I died. That man has been so wonderful to me and encourages me to take care of myself. After only being together 3 months he took me to the Bahamas, when we got off the ferry I cried that I was finally alive. He has done everything to make me a happier healthy person, he opens my car door EVERY time, he tells me im beautiful when I was just sick. He is my prince charming in every way and he has truly saved my life. Neither of us has ever been married, neither of us have kids, we want a beautiful life together and with that we want a beautiful start. Our plan was not for a big wedding but is turning into so as I keep wanting to invite doctors, attorneys and nurses! I though I would never see the day that some one would think the world of me or put a blue diamond on my finger! I want any help I can get to have a wedding, I have been through a lot for a 25 yr old and most of my dreams have gone, please let me have this one. I try to be a good person, we are both greatful for everyday. I have no insurance, I have been fighting for disability for years, my medical bills are well over a million and all I want is to have my garden wedding in the low country of Charleston South Carolina. I am praying that all of my good deeds that have gone unnoticed and all the pain I have suffered to finally have this one break that we would both be so forever grateful. Just diabetic supplys alone so far this year would have my photographer paid for. Please, I would be forever greatful for eyes to finally be on me for how beautiful I look and not the looks you get when your expected to die. Thank you all for reading this, Please help our big day become a reality!

Neither my fiance and I have been lucky in love until we met each other, my story is I met by sons Dad and married him in 1992 when my second son was 6 weeks old and my first son was still only 2 and a half he decided marriage, committment and fatherhood was not for him so he left me, I found out afterwards he had been having an affair with his work collegue the whole time I was pregnant with my second son, so alone now two babies under 3 life was hard, my mum unfortunately passed away not long after and after having been in a couple of relationships I was drawn towards a man that worked with my sister’s husband we rushed into things and got engaged and married too quickly and within a year we were married, things gradually got worse and he started getting more and more controlling as time went by and eventually the relationship turned violent and ended up with him seriously hurting me and putting me in hospital, for the sake of my sons I had to walk away and put their and my safety first and so divorce number 2, I never imagined my life would turn out like this two failed marriages when all I ever wanted was to be happy why oh why do I attract the wrong men!!! Then I met Ian the love of my life my soul mate from the moment we met I felt we had known each other before, we are both very spiritual and both had past life regression and it was found we have been together in past lives, the first of which was in Eqypt many years ago, Now we would love to go to Eqypt and get married there and spend the rest of our lives making each other happy, it took all these years for us to find each other again, and for me this marriage will be third time lucky

My fiance, Joe, and I have been given a second chance. Our sisters, who are now in their mid-thirties, have been friends since the ages of 12 & 13. They had hoped to fix Joe and me up when we were younger but there was always something getting in the way of it. Joe and I first met in 1994 – I was 24. I was single at the time but he was not. He and his wife (at the time), of only 8 months, were separated. She had been unfaithful to him and he felt their marriage was over. After a month of Joe and I seeing one another, on weekends only, he chose to go back to his wife to try and make their marriage work. He felt it was the right thing to do. Although I respected his decision, I was very hurt. I had been dating someone prior to meeting Joe. This person, “Kyle”, started calling after things with Joe and me had ended. “Kyle” proposed in 1995 and I accepted. As I was still in contact with Joe’s sister, I knew he was still married. As much as I had hoped to share and spend my life with Joe, I had to accept the fact that it was not going to be an option so I had to move on. It turns out that Joe got divorced during the course of my marriage. After his divorce, Joe attempted to contact me through my Father. I refused to take or to return his calls. I was married and did not want to even entertain the thoughts of temptation. My Father advised Joe that I was not interested in speaking with him. He accepted my decision and stopped calling. He did not attempt to see me. I respected my vows. My husband, at the time, however, did not. After 5 years of marriage, he, out of nowhere, cheated on me with the woman with whom he shared his first child. “Kyle” and I had attended counseling and worked through it. We actually had a child together a year later. It was brought to my attention, soon before my Son turned 3, however, that my, now ex-husband, was being accused of an extra-marital affair that would have taken place during the summer that my Son was 2 (2005) with someone else – a family member. I chose to believe his self-proclaimed innocence in the beginning but, after further thought, believed him to be guilty. I chose to file for divorce. I had already forgiven him once. He was given a second chance at sharing a life with me. We shared a Son. The birth of our child was providing him with the opportunity to be in his child’s life each and every day, unlike with that of his first Son. I could not understand, for the life of me, why he would be so foolish to jeopardize that. I now have a better understanding. I wasn’t the person with whom he was intended to be. He wasn’t mine either but, nonetheless, I honored my vows and I accepted the fact that we would be spending our lives together even after his first, that I am aware of, indiscretion. The second indiscretion, I was not willing to accept. What would I be teaching my Son? That it was okay to disrespect women? Once I decided to end the marriage and informed “Kyle” that the marriage was over, I reached out to my Sister, who reached out to Joe’s sister, who reached out to Joe, who reached out to me. When Joe and I spoke for the first time in 12 years, it was as if we had just spoken the day prior. It was wonderful to hear his voice. It wasn’t until we kissed for the first time since 1994 that I realized how much I had truly missed his kiss. So, we started speaking to one another at the end of the year 2006 and we were engaged just over a year later. Joe loves and is very involved with my Son, who is now almost 6. My Son already refers to Joe as his Stepdad. My ex? Oh, well, he is now engaged to the woman he first cheated on me with – the mother of his first son. Their Son, is now 19 and has a become a father himself since “Kyle” and I have divorced. So, now my ex and his former ex, now fiance, get to, in their 30s, be grandparents together. And, lucky me, I get to hear my Son say good things about his future step-mother, the woman who slept with my ex-husband during the course of our marriage. For the sake of my Son, I promote his liking her. As long as she is good to him I will swallow my pride. I feel very fortunate to have been given a second chance with the man who I know I was intended to share my life. Each of our first weddings were simply weddings. We were not cherished by those partners. Our wedding will be a celebration of love, romance and life. During the time we were apart, I lost my Mother and Joe lost both of his Grandparents. Each of them is always with us in spirit. Each of them will certainly be acknowledged and memorialized on our Special Day. We are good people who come from divorced families. Each of us gave our first marriages our all because neither of us ever wanted to have the word ‘divorce’ attached to us. Unfortunately, the people we first chose to marry did not appreciate us or our efforts. Joe and I truly love one another. We have been given a second chance. We have every intention of making the most of it. Winning this contest and having the opportunity to have the wedding of our dreams would just be further proof that we are, finally, where we belong – together. Thank you.

I found the love of my life at age 5, hahaha yeah age 5. At the time I didn’t know it but I would marry my best friend’s brother. Oh, I was in love with him I was loud, obnoxious, and not shy about a thing, but when he walked in the room I got shy, quite and I suddenly had nothing so say. I never thought that he paid any attention to me, and why would he I was his sister silly little friend (but he did) and that was the girl who came over for sleepovers and birthday parties and we would play make believe. We had all gone to the same school but they left when I was in 7th grade. In that time when they were gone my dad got really sick he had diabetes before hand, but he had a series of strokes and the blood vessels in his eyes had popped and his retina had detached and currently on kidney dialyses three times a week. He was then unable to work because he had gone blind in 18 months; my mother had to go back to work so that we could make ends meet. At the time I had 3 older brothers myself and a younger brother and my mom and dad all living under one ruff. When she was away at work I resumed the responsibilities of what she could not do I would help clean, cook, and pretty much raised my younger brother.
Four years later. I was taking my little brother to the library to use the internet because at the time ours was broken. I let him do his work and I had sometime to kill. So, I went walking down town I went into a few nick-knack stores, and then as I was on my way into another store it started to rain and the store of course was closed “great” I thought to myself and I ran to the nearest store ACE Hardware. I walked in and saw two guys standing around the bargain bin and I thought HA! I will joke around with these guys a little as they were looking in the bin I picked up a pair or screws or nails or something and said “ these are great” and I had planed to walk away right after that but I recognized his face. I said “Hey! I know you.” He replied back “Yeah I know you too.” And he said my name, truthfully I said the wrong name at first but he corrected me =] we got to talking and it was like my school girl crush all over again we exchanged numbers and talked about hang out. Then I got a call it was a friend from work telling me I was late! I didn’t want to leave but I had to and as I was apologizing while running out the door he called out “Call Me!” and it was the cutes thing I had ever seen! Of course I called him!
I really need help my life has never been easy and I’m not saying other people don’t have it difficult, but taking care of my dad and having to help pay bills all when I was in high school and even now my family is not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. And I know my parents feel bad that they really can’t help me this is why I need to win the contest. So please if anyone needs to win it truly is me.

Hi my name is jen i am 26 years old. I have been divorced for two years never had a wedding. I have met the man of my dreams and we want to get married so bad we would never be able to afford a wedding that we both deserve. It would mean the world to us.

I guess you can say that it is every girls dream to have the perfect wedding. My fiance wishes that he could do that for me. We’ve been engaged for about two years and we’re planning to finally be married next year. Both of us are from Texas, but our hometowns are on opposite ends. I’m from North Texas and he is from South Texas. We met in Nebraska about four and a half years ago. The first time that we saw each other there was no word exchanged between us just our eyes gazing into each others souls. We both felt it, there was something there that we have never felt before. But instead of rushing into to things, for about half a year we would hang out as friends just to get to know each other, but it felt as if we already knew one another. We knew that we had found our soul mate from the first time that we gazed upon each other there is no question about that. We were together for about a year and living in his hometown, when I decide to go to my hometown for a while to visit my family, so we decided to separate and we told each other if it is meant to be we’ll find each other again. Sure enough, we found each other in Mississippi. We lived there for about half a year and we decided to move to my hometown, where we now live. I have four children which two of them are his and the other two are from a previous relationship. My first two consider him to be more of their father figure than what their biological father is. He has given us everything that we’ve ever needed and almost everything that we want. He is a really good man, he is considerate, hard working, and loyal. Even through all the good things like every relationship we’ve had our ups and downs, but we support each other and give our opinions without holding back. Like everyone knows how it is when money is tight with bills, bills, and neverending bills. And of course with four children to support it is not easy trying to plan for a wedding. I would like to win our dream wedding for him, cause just as much as he wants to make it perfect for me I want to do the same for him.

i am trying to win a dream wedding for my son and his girlfriend.i do not have alot of money to help him out so i thought that i would try and win them a dream wedding.he is a good guy . he has two children by 2 different woman but he pays child support. he is a great dad to his children not like his own father who said he was not the father when he was born. i had to get blood test done to prove that he was the father before he would say he was his father. he still really was not in his life.my son tried for years to get to know his father but he kept on lying to him saying he would do thing but he did not.now that my son is a dad he does not want to be like his father so he takes really good care of his kids.he is a really good guy.he got laid off from his job so it is kind of hard for him to save up for the wedding and get a house because he pays so much in child support with his unemployment checks. at least he pays not like his father who was suppose to pay 25 dollars aweek and could not do that.can you please help me out with my son
