AND THE WINNER IS......

Drumroll please......

Our independent judge has spent the past few days reading the submissions over and over again. And he has finally made a decision. 

You might be thinking "wow, a 'he'"? Yep! We wanted to be a little different. We wanted our competition to be fair, but to stick to the brief of our entrants to be creative. Writing skills were needed to be successful. 

So we enlisted the expert assessment skills of a 29yr old male, married with two children. And he's a tough cookie! For obvious reasons, we'll keep his identity a secret, so we'll name him Bill*. 

Bill* was extremely impressed by the four entries that were presented to him. But one stood out from the rest. It was creative, took the reader on a journey with the writer, and brought forth emotions in the reader. 

That entry belongs to Olivia & Richard! 

Congratulations to you both. We look forward to working with you on your dream wedding, and will be in touch soon. 

To our runners-up, thank you for your wonderful entries. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to offer you 25% off our decor services should you wish us to still make your dream a reality. 

Thank you to everyone involved in the competition, to our voters, people who promoted and shared our competition, our new likers, and our independent judge Bill*. 

We look forward to the next time we can bring you another wonderful competition. Keep an eye out! ;-)

THE TOP THREE.......

After what seemed like a lifetime of tallying up the votes for our entrants for our little competition, we finally have the results. And they were a little surprising.

At this point I must reiterate that part of the entry conditions for votes to be counted was that any "like" must be accompanied with a "page like". There were a large number of votes that could not be counted because this condition was not met.

So the results are as follows:

Entry 1: Jaydee & Damien - 71 votes

Entry 2: Suzie & Tim - 49 votes

Entry 3: Jessica & Chris - 62 votes

Entry 4: Olivia & Richard - 56 votes

Entry 5: Aleesa & Dwayne - 2 votes

Entry 6: Toni-Leah & Daniel - 2 votes

As you can see, this puts Entry 1, Entry 3 & Entry 4 through to the final stage, but as we are feeling a little generous, and the top 4 came down to only a few votes, we have decided to put our top 4 entries through to the independent judge for assessment.

Congratulations and good luck to all our entrants.

We will announce the WINNER very soon! :-)
