Am I the only Wedding Contest Junkie?

I've officially found a new hobby......entering wedding contests!! I know it may sound comical, but I feel like it's the same as playing the lottery only I don't have to stand in line or pay any money (at least not yet). I'm very interested in knowing if any of you ladies have ever won anything...

I'm very interested in knowing if any of you ladies have ever won anything national or locally, and if so was it worth the trouble?

    I'm also addicted to winning contests. I haven't yet won a particular contest, but I have gotten a lot of discounted stuff by following pages on Facebook! I'm in a contest right now and could really use your help! We're trying to win a free honeymoon from Wedding Paper Divas! If you can follow this link (http://bit.ly/1aFbZro) and vote for us once per day until September 30th, that would be AMAZING! We just need to get into the top 25 by the 30th then the judges pick out of the top 25. Thanks for your help and good luck to all the brides entering other contests!!

    Wedding contests are amazing!! I am quite addicted to them. It all started with me trying to win a wedding because I would not have been able to afford a nice one otherwise. The first time, I was a finalist but did not win my dream wedding. The second time, I WON the whole kit n' caboodle. Smiley laugh

    To date, I have won:

    -1/2 off a photo booth

    -Dinner for two at Crown Plaza hotel

    -Romantic weekend get-a-way

    -Valet, Ceremony and reception dinner at local country club

    - DJ

    - Cake

    This has been such a blessing for me and my finance, and now its just fun to enter stuff. I won't complain if I don't win, but now my fiancé is hoping I will win our honeymoon, as I would love to go to Fiji. LOL

    If anyone was deciding to try entering contests, I would say Dooooooo it!!

    How do you set up a google voice phone number so I can direct all wedding related phone calls to that specific number?

    You are not the only one! Speaking of contests, I entered into the Blooms by the Box Flower Fantasy Contest and I'm currently in 2nd place. I just need more likes on my flower inspiration board on Facebook. If you ladies could click the link below and like my picture, I will greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance.

    I was really lucky and have won a pair of diamond earrings (there was a drawing of 20 names, everyone in the 20 got a jewelry box, 19 had Tacori Diamond Earrings and one had a 3 carat Tacori diamond) AND I won a $3,000 photography shoot for our wedding and an engagement session. Enter everything you can! I never thought I would win anything.
