Apparently it's time for everyone to fill out their brackets for the tournament. Because the brackets are so fun, I invite you to help one of our beautiful brides and her sweet, super romantic and cute fiance to win the honeymoon of their dreams. There are more prizes but the honeymoon seals the deal.
Super easy to vote. I've already done it! What do you have to lose?? Help out Lauren and Brian. We are thrilled we get to be a part of their day. We'd be even more thrilled if you help them win a honeymoon.

...and just because... I have to copy and paste what Brian's entry answer was...
"I knew she was "The One" when:
I texted my roommate the statement "I just met the girl I'm going to marry" and I burned up all of my vacation days just to spend another moment getting to know her.
Going backwards in time a little bit, I'll explain the story. In August of 2009, I was moving from a city in the outskirts of Seattle to downtown. I was scheduled to go home to visit my family in MD and see my favorite band play the second weekend in August, however, while packing to move to Seattle, I accidentally packed my concert tickets and they were lost in a cardboard box abyss forever. I figured "what the heck, I've already paid for the flight, I might as well go home and visit family and friends", so I did. When in MD, on the night that I was originally supposed to be at my concert, my best friend dragged me out to a bar for the evening. Once we entered the bar, I laid my eyes on her, the most beautiful little lady I had ever seen. We spent the whole evening batting eyes at each other, but I knew all too well that both meeting at a bar and long distance relationships generally don't work, so I didn't even consider approaching her. After hours of staring, my friends finally pushed me (literally) in her direction to go talk to her. I stumbled , almost tripping, and introduced myself. Her first words to me were "what took you so long?". Knowing that I had a little too much "liquid courage" in my system at the time (which I was consuming in order to gain the courage to talk to her in the first place), I thought it be best that I invite her to coffee and call it a night. Before we even had our first date, Lauren met my family (only 1 day after knowing me) and they fell in love. I was scheduled to go back to Seattle that next afternoon, however, I knew that this woman was special somehow and I called my boss and extended my stay another day.The next evening I met her family and something just felt right, I just wasn't ready to leave...so I called my boss and extended my stay another day. At this point I had run out of vacation time, but wasn't ready to bid this new relationship farewell. We both knew that long distance relationships were a bad idea, but we tried it anyways. IT WAS WORTH IT. We dated long distance for 11 months, and this past July she moved out to join me in Seattle. We've been engaged for 14 months now and both couldn't be more excited for our wedding in June!
