This is what the winning couple wrote:

I have to say...I'm really disappointed in how this contest is turning out. The winner of the contest is supposed to be who deserves a wedding the most. Uploading pictures, videos and stories to a connect page so that people can see what your relationship is like and then vote based upon that.

I'm sure all the finalists have utilitzed all their resources, just like we have. I can't tell you how many co-workers, family members, friends and members of the military have told me how they voted for us and then forwarded the link to all of their family and friends, who forwarded it on to others, etc. Word of mouth is the only way to win this because it would be impossible to win by sitting in front of a computer all day voting for yourself. We are extremely lucky to have a large, dedicated group of people that want to see us win this!
