<div>Congratulations to Kacie Whigham on being selected as the winner of our most recent giveaway!  She is the winner of these adorable quilted cosmetic bags for her and her maid of honor.</div>
<div>Kacie was randomly selected but below is her comment:</div>
<p><em>That is too cute! My fiance and I are getting married at Madison Square in Savannah, Ga on Labor day weekend, Sept. 4. For a couple of reasons… First, we got engaged in Savannah. Second, he being a military brat, and my parent’s moving away from my home town I grew up in, we felt we had no “hometown” to go home to get married in. Since he is being stationed at Fort Stewart and we will be moving to Savannah, we hope to make it our hometown.<br />
We hope to go on our honeymoon to Costa Rica, but nothing has been booked yet, since the military is so unpredictable <img src='http://thevegasweddingplanner.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt="icon sad Winner of our Quilted Cosmetic Bag Giveaway" class='wp-smiley' title="Winner of our Quilted Cosmetic Bag Giveaway" /> </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congratulations to Becca who is the winner of our <a href="http://thevegasweddingplanner.com/2010/01/22/lifestyle-portrait-session-giveaway-2/" target="_blank">Lifestyle Portrait Session Giveaway</a>. She has won a photo session with Jessie Emeric of <a href="http://www.emericphotography.com/" target="_blank">Emeric Photography &amp; Design</a> to be used for an engagement session, trash the dress session, or day after session!</p>
<p><em><strong>Update:</strong></em></p>
<div>Hair and Makeup Artist <a href="http://amelia-c.com" target="_blank">Amelia Cline</a> will also be doing Becca&#8217;s makeup for this portrait session.</div>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s Becca&#8217;s story:</p>
<p><em>My fiancé Steve and I met online. We were both dating other people when we signed up for OKCupid.com to see what it was all about. We corresponded via email for a few months then starting IMing for about a week. When I split with my then boyfriend, I sent him an email to let him know and it turned out he’d just moved out of his ex’s place. We made plans to meet for dinner, which lasted about 20 minutes as my friends were frantically calling and texting me. Turns out one of their neighbors set the building on fire and they needed a place to stay. I promised him it wasn’t a “bad date” phone call and that I’d call later. After they were settled into my place, I called him and we talked and set up our next date for a few days later. We had a fabulous time and I wrote in my journal that he was amazing and had such a good heart and I could see myself with him for a long time. We were engaged 6 months later and are getting married in Vegas on 10-10-10.</em></p>
<p>Our winner was randomly selected<em>. </em> Thank you to all who entered! I enjoyed reading your stories.<em><br />
