I was so excited to walk down the aisle. I was so proud to have my uncle walk me in place of my father who passed away. He went above and beyond. He did my make-up, combed my hair, and put an aqua crystal in the center of every stephanosis flower in my bouquet.

Oh! I love the idea that you had, to use your daughters birthstone for your colour theme! What a great significance to your big day! :)

Ha! Sorry... I didn't even read Yvette's comment. We both give you our final five ;)

Apr 15, 2008
 
Good luck beautiful lady! Here's my final 5!

Apr 15, 2008
 
Here's my final 5 girl! You rock it =) Thanks to you too for making this a fun and positive competition as well! It's nice to know that some brides still and always have had the right attitude from the beginning til the end.

Thanks Francisca! You are so sweet! I have a son who will be 3 in June who is the center of my universe... so I can only imagine how awesome it was to have him be such a special part of your wedding! I hope to see your beautiful photos in that magazine!!! All the best to you and your family! -Kristen

We would love to thank every single person who viewed and voted for our photos and web page. We are eternally grateful to our families and friends. We’d like to give a shout out to everyone from DDI & the U of A and all the wonderful, beautiful brides who showed their support and made this a fun experience! Our children have taught us to treasure the precious moments in life, to love whole heartedly, that laughter is essential, one should never take people or life for granted, and to never lose sight of the things that matter most… When this contest is over, we have our families, our friends, and our memories… Thank you all for sharing these beautiful entries; there were so many beautiful weddings. To all the contestants and finalist we congratulate you and wish you the very best in your lives! Feel free to sign our guestbook or contact us. Sincerely, Francisca, Conrad, and Santiago

Just wanted to let you know again that your pictures are so pretty! Everything was perfect and those bridesmaids dresses are AWESOME!! Your son is a little angel :)

Jessica, we chose soon after our entry not comment during this contest as a result of the negative comments made on our pictures by "Sarah Keller;" but, after reading yours, I thought you deserved a response from me, the real Cenny. I asked all my supporters not to respond to the nasty comments made on my pages or to comment on anyone else's wedding, but just to vote for me, and I see they have done just that. People have left so many rude and negative comments, some signing in as me and my husband and as if they were friends of ours. Because this was definitely unacceptable, to sign as if we were leaving the comments, we asked The Knot to remove them. Other than that, we could care less what someone says about us during this contest because we know they really don't know us, and we are not offended so easily. I read one entry where a bride cried because of such comments, sad but it shows you gotta have a backbone to deal with this kind of backbiting. With that said, I don't know who "D. Washington" is or any of the others that are commenting on my pages, yours, or the others during this contest. "Washington" may be one of my supporters but I'm sorry I do not know who she/he is and regret that it's assumed that I do. This entire contest has been very discouraging to me and my husband and we will never enter another one, at least not one where anybody can leave any kind comments saying just about anything they want. As a matter of fact, we could care less whether we win or not, at this discouraging point of the contest! I really do appreciate the kind comments you and others have given, but chose not to respond to those either. Just remember there are really mean, hateful, and just plain rude people hiding behind the Internet which, in fact, allows them to show their true colors. I strongly believe, "you reap what you sow" (Galatians 6:7) so they'll get it back one way or another. Cenny

pooh-ey on mean people. I love your photos, especially the one of your son..... I know you will treasure that always!!!

Apr 14, 2008
 
Okeee, I don't get some of the comments people make. Like I said on Bianca's entry, this is another one that deserves all the attention!! This contest is getting out of hand! Anyway, I'm here to give you my love for the day girl! 5 HEARTS forever!

Who are you, and why are you commenting about other people's weddings on this couple's entry? Makes no sense to me! Nice photos, girl- beautiful wedding!

it's real interesting that when someone else has high views or high hearts, they are cheating, why is it impossible for this, the Flowers and the Skelley couples? High views and 4 hearts early in the contest, come on!

Apr 13, 2008
 
Here's your daily 5 for today!!! Go Francisca!!!

What a blessed day! It was all worth it...all the planning and painstaking attention to detail, including not only the color commemorating our Isabella, but the release of balloons in her honor. You did an amazing job Francisca, and we were privileged to be a part of it. Love, mom
