Wedding Contest Deadline
Hello everyone. I just wanted to express my concern with this contest in which I have entered a story in...story 10069 to be exact. I entered this contest back in July ( the October date is from formating my story and resending) and since then I have been eating and sleeping this contest. Well, to my surprise, the voting ended 2 days earlier than the 2nd origional deadline of Jan 5th. You see, I never came on to this message board, so I had no idea what was going on. All i knew was that Partypop sent me an e mail saying that the new deadline is Jan 5th. Well, I have all of my family and friends voting tomorrow, Jan 4th because when I had people vote before, my story was voted down so fast everytime i took the lead, so I had everyone wait until the last minute so that I at least had a chance. Well, now I do not get that chance. Wew! I feel better now that I got that off my chest. Well, good luck to all of the storytellers and thanks for listening. Lisa G.

I read through the top wedding stories again when I read all the posts on the message board. It seems there are a couple of SPOILED girls that are almost demanding their prize.
In my opinion, out of the top 10 stories, I found Lisa G.'s story to be the most interesting and real-life. How many times do we hear of a relationship from the internet becoming true love? Never. This was real. This was a situation. This was something that this girl had to fight for with her family. And from what I can tell, she really has wanted this. Give it to her Partypop! Make her a winner!

Let me first say that I am far from SPOILED so I will not take your comment personally.
And, have you read all of the Stories? Keri (high score) also fell in love on the internet. So don't try to make people look bad. If anything, you may be hurting Lisa.

I couldn't have said this better myself. I'm not in the contest but my bro is, and he didn't come close to winning. You don't hear him slammin' people.
I didn't win either, there are a couple of hundred stories that didn't win. I'm sorry, but I kind of took offense to the "We were going to wait
Until all the other girls scammed their way to the top..." comment. I know that I, for one, encouraged my friends and family to vote fairly and
Honestly and NOT to vote other stories down. As soon as I found out my younger brother had voted a couple of stories down I asked him
To stop immediately, and he has promised me that he did.
Team PartyPOP has done nothing wrong in this... If the deadline was misunderstood, there was more than a month for any questions to
Be addressed. They do not keep their e-mail address a secret (partypop@partypop.com) and the question was addressed at least three
Times right here on the message board.
I am sorry for Lisa and her friends and family if a misunderstanding was the case, however, I do not think that any one person is "more
Deserving" of this prize than any other. We all have our stories. We all have our dreams.
This voting was simply used to narrow the field down for PartyPOP so that they might choose the winner. They stated very clearly that they
Will be making the final decision on who the winner is and not this voting. Yes, having a high score is nice and quite frankly, flattering. I
Know that for me to have the score I have there had to be people that I don't know voting for me, I simply don't know that many people!
I think everyone needs to keep a positive attitude in this because, as I've said before, when it all comes down to it... We are marrying the
Person of our dreams. That one person that we have chosen to spend the rest of our lives with. 50K or 5K I'm going to have a fabulous
Wedding!
I don't want anyone to take offense to anything I've written. I think Lisa's story is fabulous. Good luck to everyone, and Congratulations to
The winner... Whomever you may be.

I apologize if I insulted anyone. I just called it like I saw it. I read a few posts that seemed people were real concerned about silly stuff like cut off times and pacific times. Lol it made me say what brats. Also, I don't try to make people look bad at all. As a matter of fact, I like I gave one of the girls who wrote a story a wonderful compliment. And I also aplogize that I found her story much better than yours. I could actually FEEL her love. That's why I felt her's was the best. Good Luck. Whoever wins will have a wedding to remember forever.

I'd like to know what story you think is mine. You know, since I flat out said I'm not in the contest. Plus, my bro has a different last name so there's no way you could know which story I'm talking about. That's not the point anyway. The point is you are all acting just as "bratty" as anyone else you are pointing fingers at.
Peace and love
Meg
