Congratulations to Courtney and Michael! You have been selected as our winning couple.

Courtney is a frontline worker, working as an RN during COVID-19. Upon her May graduation, she and Michael were planning to get married. But, as life would have it during this pandemic, a wedding was put on the backburner. Michael had lost significant income and Courtney has been having to work non-stop.

Courtney is a single mom of two sets of twin boys. When she submitted her letter for entry, she didn’t brag about herself. Instead, she highlighted that they deserved the free wedding because of her fiancé, Michael.

Michael has loved her and her boys without hesitation. He has battled substance abuse, but has been clean for three years now. Why? Because he wants absolutely nothing to interfere with him being the best husband and best father for Courtney and her boys.

After getting married, Michael is going to adopt Courtney’s boys so they can officially be the family they so badly want to be.

And, that is what a wedding is all about. A love that makes you want to constantly be a better version of yourself and understanding that love is what makes you family.

We can’t wait for your wedding in September. Congratulations, Courtney and Michael!
