I VOTED 5!

Last week fellow bridesmaid Kara and I entered our lovely bride Jalyn into Amelia Lyon’s Wedding Photography Giveaway contest!To our lucky stars, Jalyn and her fiancee Matt, made it to the top 5! Although Amelia has selected a panel of judges to determine the winner, she’d like the family and friends of the contestants to VOTE by leaving a comment and cheering on their couple! That’s where we come in, the campaign squad!

We’ve been having alot of fun with this and it’s been bringing back old memories of high school and campaigning for class office!  It’s been heart warming to see all the support and love that Jalyn and Matt have been receiving from friends, family, teacher colleagues (Jalyn is a high school teacher), and even “Ms. G’s” students! Because Jalyn and Matt are listed as *COUPLE #5* on the contest, one of Jalyn’s colleagues even mentioned the need to make “I VOTED 5″ stickers which was inspired by this year’s events when California began laying off teachers with pink slips. In addition, there was also the “TEAM JALYN + MATT” which was inspired by the Twilight phenomenon!

You can definitely read more about Jalyn and Matt’s story on Amelia’s blog. they are high school sweethearts (going on over 10 years!) who enjoy the simple things in life. The economic situation and unemployment rate has been extremely unkind to this selfless couple, especially while planning a wedding on a time restricted circumstance….. but they’ve trekked on without complaint! Jalyn once said, We might not always have money, but we’re happy, we’re healthy, and we’re lucky to have each other.

So if you could, spare us 1 minute of your time… Please click here –> Amelia Lyon’s blog and cast your vote, love and support for Couple #5, Jalyn and Matt by leaving a blog comment (or 5, hehe!)! Deadline is tomorrow, Dec 31st! Thank you so much!

And because a blog post isn’t that fun without a picture…. I leave you this!
