Hi Friends,

For all of you that don't know, which is surprising with all of my obnoxious posts, Ben and I are engaged. We are in a contest to win your ultimate wedding and we are in the top 50 (out of thousands). But, we are falling behind and I've tapped out my network.

Meaning I need to tap into your networks!!!! Please forward...
Vote for Vanessa and Ben!
