Crate and Barrel's Ultimate Wedding Contest

Our love story.

To some, online dating seems a last resort. To us, it was the beginning of our happily ever after. Mark and I "met" online. The night before New Years Eve was our first date, and before long, we knew that not only was the year coming to an end, but our search for the perfect partner was also over. In August , Mark asked me to be his wife. It was the happiest moment in my life. When the dating site sent us both the message 2.5 years ago that "we clicked", those two little words changed our lives forever.

Three important details about our Ultimate Wedding.

Our ultimate wedding will be a celebration of love, family, and friendship. Why else do you get married if not for those three things? But, if you are twisting my arm to spend $100,000, I think I would love to see a room drowning in candlelight and beautiful flowers. I think we would also have to use a portion of the money to make a donation to a charity (that we will choose together) on behalf of all of our guests. This way, our special day will truly be a celebration of love and life for everyone involved.

Our everyday dream day.

Waking up (no alarm clock needed) with the love of my life beside me and no need to rush out of bed is the perfect start . We would spend the day doing together the things that we love best individually. We would wander through an art exhibit and then we would go spend the afternoon at the ball park, soaking in the sun and some baseball (and perhaps a hotdog and nachos). To end this amazing day, we would dine at one of our favorite restaurants and savor the amazing food, wine, and company of one another.
