The Winner IS.........

Earlier in February I ran a contest for the best engagement story. My winner receives a free engagement session with a $15 credit toward their print order. They also receive $150 off any wedding package when they book their wedding with me.

AND the Winner IS......

They had a very sweet story. If they give me permission I will post the entry email at a later date. Check back here at my blog to see teaser images from their session, soon to be booked!...

With Janel's permission here is her story:
Well I met my fiancee in 2003 while attending MTSU. I saw him across the room and I thought he was so cute, but the problem was he was younger!!!!!!! So I knew I was not interested in dating a younger guy. So we still exchanged numbers and remained friends. So in April 2007 I went to an event at the college and there he was. Now I hadn't seen him in awhile but he was looking very good. So again we exchanged number, throwing caution of age, in the wind. We talked on the phone for a while, went on a date, and after a couple of months we were an item. Now through this whole process of dating and getting to know each other, he had started figuring out my ways and how I would mess a surprise up when he tried to do anything special without my knowledge. So I'm sure he figured it would be too hard to ask for my hand in marriage because he knew I was looking for it each and every day. So when Valentines 2009 came around, I so was hoping that he would ask me, but of course he didn't. So I was so sad. So Feb 17 came along. Just a regular ordinary day. Just working and coming home to cook dinner and rest. So when I got home, I opened the door and the room was lit with candles everywhere. Rose petals on the floor, dinner and wine on the table. So he came from the room with a teddy bear and told me how much he loved him. Now lets pause for a sec because you know I was not expecting this period so I was very shocked, surprised, everything. So he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. So I looked around the teddy bears neck and what do you know, there was my ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
