Three Same-Sex Couples in Top 10 Spot in $100K Ultimate Wedding Contest

Filed Under LGBT, Love | 4 Comments

Crate and Barrel is hosting The Ultimate Wedding Contest. One lucky couple will win the $100,000 wedding of their dreams. Hundreds of couples are competing and (as of today’s date) 3 of the couples in the top 10 are same-sex couples:

#3 – Gregory and Jonathan: A Love That Beat the Odds – Currently has 1736 votes

THEIR LOVE STORY: Boy meets boy, boy falls for boy, and boys get engaged. The pure existence of our love is not always accepted. We had to deal with hatred from outsiders and support one another in recovery. Our love story involves the evolution of the meaning of love and the perseverance that allowed two people such as us to openly experience happiness. We knew that we were right for each other from the start, we knew that we would always be by one another’s sides and that as best friends we could truly experience our love openly.

#6 – Mikey and Earl: They said no, but he said YES! – Currently has 865 votes

THEIR LOVE STORY: What a story we have! The short of it is that we met at a strip club in Baltimore while I was on a date with someone else. When Earl and I started chatting I learned that he lived in New England. Another long-distance relationship was the last thing I wanted. But, I’ll be completely honest here, Earl was just too cute to resist. Three-and-a-half years later and here we are.

#9 – Emily and Rachel: Past in Present – Currently has 791 votes

THEIR LOVE STORY: We both knew that we had been struck the moment that we laid eyes on each other in the summer of 2006 but we couldn’t seem to get the timing right until exactly 2 years later, when the stars at long last aligned and I asked Rachel to join me to see Feist in concert at the outdoor venue Ravinia. For the record, “The Reminder” will always be a shared favorite album, as we have Feist to thank for setting the scene for a most perfect, long awaited first date.

Head on over and vote for one of these couples – or scroll through the list and find another couple you like!

  • 15:28 We have a huge list of lesbian & bi female indie musicians, but we’re missing the gay guys and trans folks. Help us out! #
  • 17:01 Just watched Venice 1.10 – anyone else noticed the Black characters are "the help?" That annoys me a bit. #
  • 17:12 @mjpurser He owns the club, yes. But you only see him when he’s bringing her drinks. #
  • 17:13 @Jay00789 Yep, Venice the Series. All this talk about diversity – you only see the Black characters when they’re serving Gina/Crystal. #
  • 17:17 @Jay00789 LMAO! Awww, it’s nice of them to make the Black folks wait for more exposure in season 2. How sweet. #
  • 17:18 @Jay00789 BTW, @AnyoneButMe didn’t make us wait to learn more about their Black characters in Season 2. Kudos ABM! Venice #fail. #

  • 09:37 @londonbridgez Thanks for the props! Good morning. #
  • 09:40 Hmm . . . www.TwitHive.com looks interesting. No time to play around with it this morning though. #
  • 10:07 Weird. Looks like Facebook just reverted back to the old layout. Maybe it’s just a bug. #
  • 12:56 If you’re running ads on Facebook, I suggest pausing them. All ad clicks re-route to an error page. #
  • 12:57 @feromooninfo LMAO! Was that a serious question? #
  • 12:59 Ok, looks like Facebook fixed the ad bug (at least for now). Wonder if they’ll refund any bad clicks. I doubt it. #
  • 13:01 Someone just informed me that there are still issues with FB ad clicks if you click on an ad from your profile page directly. #
  • 13:11 Alice in Wonderland Exclusive Clip – Clothe This Girl: bit.ly/d483kb #
  • 13:16 @lovingyouiseasy Same here! Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorites, so it’ll be nice to see the new version. #
  • 13:18 @lovingyouiseasy I took a course called Mathematical Approaches to Literature. Alice in Wonderland was the main text. Loved that class! #
  • 13:25 Facebook must hate Twitter right about now – and Tiger must love the fact that he’s no longer a trending subject. #
  • 14:50 @lovingyouiseasy Sorry, no syllabus. It’s been 7 years since I took that class. #
  • 17:59 Having dinner at Cafe Costa Rica in Madison, WI. #

  • 16:13 @Jonathan360 Go to your home page on Facebook, scroll to the bottom and hit the EDIT OPTIONS link. You can fix that from there. #
  • 17:16 @guerrillamama Why did you even show her enough respect to explain WHY you didn’t want to be friends anymore? I wouldn’t have bothered. #
  • 17:20 @womanistmusings There’s nothing more entertaining than a drunk person singing George Michael tunes. Video, please! #
  • 17:28 @guerrillamama The Leo in me doesn’t even bother when it comes to people like her. I despise passive aggressiveness. #
  • 18:01 @guerrillamama I removed all that kind of negativity out of my life, too. It was blocking all the great things that happened since then. #
  • 18:54 Help this adorable gay couple win a free dream wedding from Crate & Barrel – bit.ly/8X4cQH #
  • 19:08 There’s a lesbian couple in the running for the free dream wedding, too: bit.ly/b3Wo9D #

  • 09:55 If you haven’t added me as a friend on Facebook yet . . . why not? bit.ly/8PTIS7 #
  • 09:57 BTW, good morning Twitterland! (err, Twitterverse? Twitterhood?) #
  • 11:33 @linsey I don’t know if I believe those numbers. 60K android phones shipped per day? Sounds like PR hype to me. #
  • 11:35 @seanpadilla Can you? #
  • 11:37 @TGworldNews Wow! Lots of media coverage of the transgender community lately. Do we have Oprah to thank for that? #
  • 16:32 Guess which lesbian web series executive producers will be on SistersTalk Radio tonight at 7pm central! bit.ly/b3fcmu #
  • 16:57 Grinnell College Names Openly Gay, Black Male President – bit.ly/aPsCVo #
  • 17:35 I’m sure radical anti-male feminists everywhere will be blaming the patriarchy for this one (as usual) – bit.ly/d07Wvb #
  • 17:42 @yayayarndiva I noticed there was no mention of that either. Waiting to see how this is handled by the feminist blogosphere – if at all. #
  • 17:44 @yayayarndiva Three guesses on how she got away with killing her brother years ago. The first 2 don’t count.. #
  • 18:11 I have to get over my urge to immediately block anyone who uses the hashtags #tcot and #gop. They COULD be LGBT allies. #
  • 18:14 @michichan Yes. I’m aware of that. Hence: "They COULD be LGBT allies." #
  • 18:15 @jeffsheng LMAO! You rebel! You’ll get a ton of new followers – guaranteed. #
  • 18:16 @yayayarndiva You misunderstood. I said I shouldn’t immediately block them because they COULD be LGBT allies. #
  • 18:20 @yayayarndiva No problemo. The 140 character limit often lends itself to misunderstandings. #
  • 18:22 @dragonheartsong Thank you so much for the compliment. #
  • 18:43 In about 15 minutes: Live interview with executive producers of award winning lesbian web series: bit.ly/b3fcmu #

  • 08:17 @londonbridgez – I love your music. I’ve had "Introduce" on repeat for a week. #
  • 08:21 Anyone else using the MagicJack? #
  • 08:27 @pfunn Sometimes people miss things, so a repost of an old news item might be useful. #
  • 08:39 @pfunn Do you need a cure for cranky pants? Try bacardi and diet, although it’s a bit early in the day for that. #
  • 08:43 @iAmOshun I’m seeing a lot of God-talk in my timeline, too. As long as they’re not passing the collection plate, I’m cool with it. #
  • 09:51 A MUST-READ for all the get-off-your-ass-and-DO-something equality activists out there: bit.ly/bAsx52 #
  • 10:16 @roschelle Ha! All the racial stereotyping is insane, right? I blame the media. #
  • 11:05 @blogdiva I had to block the personhood people – but not until I reminded them to stay out of other people’s business. #
  • 13:05 The LGBT Movement Advancement Project (MAP) is hiring a Senior Strategist – bit.ly/ddv3Wq #
  • 18:33 @robin25 I like MagicJack. It takes a little getting used to, but it was worth the $40/year. #

  • 20:29 @cassowaryjewel Next week it’ll be Hispanic women. And the week after that it’ll be the Jews. And the week after that, it’ll be gays again! #

  • 13:15 @loldarian Exactly. "Alternative lifestyle" is an alternative to what? Something more accepted by society? #
  • 14:33 Closin’ up the office for today. Heading home to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Have a good one everyone! #
