Essence is holding a Will you Marry Me contest. They have selected 4 couples and the world will vote who gets their dream wedding.

I voted for Cleveland and Maya

Cleveland Sonny Carr, 30, is in the Army for nine years and is scheduled to make a fourth trip to Afghanistan in July 2010. He and his fiancée, Maya, have been together for one year but have known each other since the eighth grade. Maya teaches 7th grade reading, and is working on her Masters for School Administration. The relationship is long-distance, as he lives in Clarksville, TN, and she lives in Chicago, IL.

***I chose this couple, because they have come a long way and deserve it.  They have 3 children together and He will be deployed in July. Being a Former Army wife, i know the money is not that great, and it’s good to have the great memory of a wedding while deployed(what if something happens?).

I think this couple deserves to win, you should go vote for your couple
