Money Dance at your wedding, anyone? 

Post from: Our One Heart

The draw was done in the presence of honorable witnesses, ie my husband and our daughter. I asked my husband to give me a number between 1 to 34 and he chose the number 17.

And guess who that slot went to?

Leis Pagaspas from the Philippines is our winner!

Leirs said

my favorite wedding supplier was the weddingsatwork.com website. It was such a big help to me. i didn’t get to join the egroup because I only had 3 weeks to prepare for our wedding but weddingsatwork.com was such a great help it was like an online bible. People were complimenting us for a beautiful wedding but I couldn’t have done it without weddingsatwork.com

Congratulations to Leirs for winning the contest. Leirs and Weddingsatwork will each get either a

• $25 gift certificate from Amazon
• a 1-year Flickr Pro membership worth $25
• $25 straight to their paypal accounts

I’ve decided to give the winner the option rather than sticking them with an Amazon gift certificate that they may never use!

I will run more contests so stay tuned and again, congratulations to Leirs and weddingsatwork!

Thanks to everyone who participated. I enjoyed reading your answers!
