Today is the Last Day to enter the Contest

Today is officially the last day to enter the contest. The Southern California Dream Wedding Giveaway officially ends at 11:59PM PT Tonight, 1/31/10. If you have not received an email confirming that we have received your entry, than we did not receive your entry or your entry was incomplete. All officially entered contestants were notified by email that we received their entry form.

The TOP 10 Dream Couples™ will be announced on Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2010. We will be contacting all the Top 10 couples on 2/2/10 to see if they are still interested in the contest and will also ask them to answer 3 more questions. The three questions will be:

1) If you were to win the Southern California Dream Wedding Giveaway, what would you do to pay it forward?

2) What songs is your love song?

3) What is the one thing that would make your wedding day memorable to you as a couple?

Good luck to all the contestants. Thank you for making this such a successful giveaway!

Remainder of Dream Couple Stories will not be posted but still in the running.

Due to the overwhelming number of entries that we have received in the last two weeks, entries received from January 11, 2010 to January 31, 2010 will not be publicly posted on our website or blogs. All entries will automatically be sent to the Dream Crew™ who will be choosing the Top 10 finalist for consideration. Since January 11th we have received over 200 entries bringing the total number of contestants to over 600 couples. Every entry regardless of being posted or not are being considered and the couples presence on the website is not an indicator of who will be considered for the Top 10 slots. Top 10 contestants will be announced on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 and will be posted on this page. Thank you for your patience and understanding, but this contest has expected all our expectations on the number of contestants we would receive Every contestant in the running for the Top 10 and who is not posted on this site will be notified by email, by January 31, 2010, that if we have received your entry.

The reason for this change is that we are just unable to merge the photos and format stories in a timely manner. And to edit and post over 200 stories before the deadline would not be feasible, so we are emailing all the individual stories to the 50+ Dream Crew members to read on their own and to consider for the Top 10.

Thank you.
