In second place with 367 votes...

Deanna & Mike

The story behind their photo: "Sure, sure Gatorade's at every QT on the corner here in the States, but not so in India. We traveled for 5 weeks together in India, Nepal and Tibet. India = tasty food, beautiful sites.. and lots of sweating. It was H-O-T, and despite living in Atlanta, we've got nothin' on India. On our last day there, Mike magically discovered two ice cold, beautiful bottles of awesome Gatorade. A happy moment indeed."


And in third place with 301 votes...

Lindsey & Tim

Fun Fact About Them: "We spend the majority of our time dancing together, even when we're home alone and cooking dinner."

Deanna & Mike and Lindsey & Tim will each be receiving a mini-session. I will be contacting all 3 couples about claiming their prizes.

Thanks to everyone for voting. Congratulations again to the winners, Ashley and Michael!
