After seven days of flooding our inbox, campaigning on Facebook, begging sisters/neighbors/grandmothers/coworkers to vote, finding out that a friend of a friend (of a friend) knows one of the other couples, and spamming the world with love stories....we've finally found our winning couple.
Thanks to everybody who spent so much time making such beautiful stories to share with the world. You've shown us all what love means to each one of you. A special thanks to Fiore Films, Laura Nadeau, and Wedding Chicks for their support and helping us spread the word. It was more insane than we had ever imagined it to be!
The best part about Carol and Bryan's wedding might have been when Bryan couldn't get through his vows. Or it might have been when Carol's mom and dad busted out on the dance floor (like the coolest Chinese parents ever). Or it might have been the incredible view of New York City from the hotel rooftop. Or it might have been Carol's gorgeous tea ceremony dress. Or it might have been their fabulous portaits in Gantry Park. Or it might have been when the Maid of Honor gave her speech...down on one knee. Or it might have been seeing Still Motion's jaw-dropping same day edit. Or it might have been seeing the wedding coordinator getting down on the dance floor. Or it might have been their decadent fondue fountain. Or it might have just been the beautiful weather. No, that couldn't be right.
The best part about Carol and Bryan's wedding was that Carol and Bryan fell in love all over again. And Bryan still can't hold back the tears when he thinks about it.

This couple came a looong way for a wedding. And that's not referring to the 9 years they've been together. Dina and Ray came all the way from China to celebrate their big day with family and friends--back to their alma mater and hometown! After the ceremony, and after the land rover limo ride, and after the tea ceremony, and after the Chinese food, and after the (random) magic show, and after all the hello's and goodbye's and the "oh my gawd you look so gorgeous!" remarks, we all hopped onto a coach bus around 10:30pm...and then the REAL party began. With close friends and plenty of party animals, they grooved the night away at the trendy Thompson Hotel--complete with a DJ, open bar, and hello kitty-themed cupcakes to go around. They had such a good time...maybe Dina and Ray will soon move back to New York (fingers crossed)!
