How Do I Love Thee?

Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote these beautiful words:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

We at the Southern California Dream Wedding Giveaway, have a soft spot for couple's love stories. We are often touched by the personal sentiments that couples say during their vows and can find us getting teary eyed at weddings...yes we are saps.

So, if you were wondering what you need to do to win the Southern California Dream Wedding Giveaway, you are going to have to win The Dream Crew's™ and the public's heart. When the Website launches we are going to want to know four things about you as a couple:

1. Tell us your love story (how you met, the engagement, etc. We want the full scoop).
   
2. Tell us about the hardest thing you as a couple has had to face to date.
3. Tell us about what you think is the key to a successful marriage.
   
4. Tell us why you deserve to win the Southern California Dream Wedding Giveaway.

Along with submitting your answers to these questions on the official Website online, we are also going to ask you to submit a photo of the two of you. Your answers, photo, first names, and location will be publicized on our website so that the public and the Southern California Dream Wedding Giveaway Dream Crew™ can get to know each of you.

Now you know what it's going to take to win this contest. Start thinking and writing your story now. We are just over one month away from you pulling on our heart strings! Remember the contest will officially run between October 18, 2009 and January 15, 2010. The official Southern California Dream Wedding Giveaway Website will be live on October 18, 2009. Additionally, mark your calendars for October 18th, as you are all invited to the official launch party and The Dream Crew™ meet and greet at the wedding location (to be revealed on a later date).

In the mean time, make sure to visit our blog, because starting on Monday, you will get to know a little bit about us. Everyday we will introduce one of The Dream Crew™ member that will be putting on this spectacular wedding for one lucky couple!
