It was really hard to chose but the grand prize winner Brianne's story just really struck as one of those "meant-to-be" type romances. She and her finance Murat met in the 7th grade when he had just arrived in the U.S. from Turkey. She says that even then they knew their was something special between them. They had a middle school romance but he and his family moved away in later years. They both went to separate colleges and Brianne traveled and worked in London. And they ran into each other again as adults and knew that the something they felt 15 years before was true love and that they were meant to be together.
They are planning to get married this November in the Florida Keys and I am thrilled that I will be there to capture their wedding celebration that has been a long time in coming!
