I just would like you to read what I have to say and decide whether this is a worthy cause or not.
I am a concept and freelance artist here and worldwide and I stumbled on wookiesstock page about a year and a half ago. I needed stock so we ended up talking. I had no idea that when we talked he was only an hour away from me. Let alone on the same continent. Please read on and you will find out some amazing things about this union that DA has brought about. Also if your living in the Victoria area I hope that you CA Victorians can help us in this amazing opportunity that has sprung up.
I entered a contest last month for a 17000$ packaged Green Dream Wedding contest at the Mayfair mall (Victoria) and am happy to announce we are in the top 5 finalists.... SO that's why I am here. I am counting on the public to become aware of whats happening. Since me and Ty are new to the area (Victoria) and friends and family aren't here....so I am hoping the artistic community that I have socialized with over the last couple years on this forum and DAs can fill those peoples boots.
Each finalist had to write a 200 word essay on why they felt they should win the GREEN DREAM WEDDING contest and here is my entry that got me and wookie into the top 5 finalists.
(((((My father named me after a Christmas song called Holly Green "the prettiest green you ever seen." He sang that song to me every year and a year ago as a joke I told my father that I was going to marry a man with the last name Green...one month later without knowing his last name at the time I met Tyler Green. A man I love so very much. I promptly told my father that I had met the man I was going to marry---my family chuckled.
But lo and behold last summer Tyler proposed to me at the edge of the Grand Cannon on his knees for all the world to see. And now Tyler sings that song to me.."Holly Green". I promptly got to planning for my Green themed wedding. But being a young couple with college debt and trying desperately to keep my freelance business afloat we realized that perhaps my green wedding would never come to fruition. But then when I was looking for financial help on the web I stumbled across your contest Green Dream Wedding and I broke into tears. Please tell me this is some happy serendipity! Sincerely...the future Mrs Holly Green.(Rorke+wookiestock) ))))))!
Also I wanted to mention that anyone that votes has a chance to win a 2 day getaway at Tin Wis Resort in taffino whether its for us or any of the other contestants.
Some of you CA couples who have gone through the wedding proses will know what a wedding package like this means to us. It means we don't have to sink deeper and deeper into debt because of a wedding that might cost us thousands of dollars.
The average wedding in Canada is $21,000 these days. So for us to be able to get married on our own might take years for us to save up. That or we might cop out and elope.... But... I want my father to be able to walk me down the isle in the wedding dress I always wanted... and I want our family to be able to come and watch this joining of hearts. I want it to be the dream wedding I always hoped for... And I have this 1 in 5 chance to get it.... so I am here... begging for people to come and vote... it doesn't have to be for us... even if some CA artists came and just voted and hung out it will be moving.
If you have ever been that down and out couple with moths flying out of your pockets trying to figure out the bills and just trying to make a start for yourselves you'll understand my desperation. We need your help. To anyone that will listen ...we need your support.... we need you CA-ers!! Please come and be a part of this amazing opportunity to change this couples life. Please come...
In the next week I am going down to the mall with timbits and coffees and handing them out.... if anyone would just like to meet some other artists in the area and volunteer to spread some sweets around note me and we can talk. I would really like to meet some other artists in Vic whether I win or not.:yayca:
Sincerely, :) *hug* Rorke and wookiestock (HOLLYandTYLER)
