First, On behalf of Ashleigh Taylor, Elena Galaviz and myself, Christina Molina, I would like to thank all of the brides who entered our contest. We are so very honored that you want to work with us. We would still love to work with you even if you didn't win so please contact me at Christina@Tinamolina.com if interested.
Now onto the winners:
Well we couldn't choose so we have chosen the top 3 brides. We are asking them to get their family, friends and even their vendors to chose the winner. So if you want your couple to win please vote. Voting begins NOW. The voting will last until tomorrow 8/21/09 at 9pm. We will then tally the votes and announce our winner!
To vote please email VOTE@TINAMOLINA.COM. In the subject line please just put the bride & Grooms name. This will count as one vote. Only one vote per email address please. If you vote more than once the first vote will only count. Therefore, you cannot vote for multiple couples.
GOOD LUCK LADIES!!
Each couple had provided us with a short sentence on why they should win. :)
