There's no need to pinch you. Because this is so totally real.


The good folks over at the Utah Commission on Marriage are hosting a StrongerMarriage.org DREAM WEDDING CONTEST. 


The contest will follow one Utah couple through the most important steps of marriage preparation and education, and then reward them with a dream wedding. 


Umm, OK!


To enter, couples can logon to www.facebook.com/strongermarriage, upload a photo and explain why they deserve to win a dream wedding. The deadline to enter is SUNDAY, OCT. 9, so get your engaged little selves to Facebook pronto. 


Commission board members will select five finalists to be announced on FOX13's Good Day Utah on Oct. 14, after which fans and viewers will be invited to vote for the winning couple on the Stronger Marriage Facebook page.

Hey, Bright Eyes

WHAT TO LOVE These colors! That tree! Their blissful expressions! That tree!

WHAT TO LEARN Color is your friend. Talk to your photographer about hue-tiful locations that will help you pop off the page. (Yes, I totally just said hue-tiful.)
