Please vote for this couple

[ame]

I know of them from my membership on theknot.com. A local girl posted this on our board, the St. Louis board because she works in the local office of a company headquartered there.

Friends,

A colleague of my wife's, Veenu Teneja, recently endured a horrific tragedy. This past August, on the day before his wedding, Veenu's mother went to her local store in Flushing, Queens to pick up milk for the wedding guests staying with her, and was brutally mugged and murdered.

Veenu and his fiance, Manisha, went from last minute wedding details to planning a funeral for his Mom. Although their story was all of the local NYC media, their vendors were not exactly compassionate so they
lost all of their deposits and payments on their wedding and went on to have a small civil ceremony about a month later.

They do not know it, but Veenu and Manisha have been entered into a content that Z100 (a local radio station) is having to win a Wedding. They are one of 5 finalists. The winners are chosen by popular vote.

I know everyone is extremely busy, but this only takes about 20 seconds:
Please go to http://www.z100.com/elvis_zoo/wedding/zoowedding2.html and click on #3 (Manisha and Veenu). And, forward this to your friends.

Today is the only day to vote.

Ame -- it looks as if the voting is closed (Unless I missed something -- sometimes it just stares mein the face, and I don''t see it.) I''m sorry to hear about their tragedy, and hope they win.

Oh, come on, they''ve GOT to win! I read those other stories and with the exception of the one who needed a kidney transplant and the one who lost all their belongings in a house fire, none even come CLOSE to comparing.....

...I really think the fact that the tragedy happened on the wedding eve makes them even more deserving.

I truly hope they get the wedding of their dreams.

I emailed the guy that does that show to ask him when the results will be posted.
I really hope they win!

The website said that the results will be announced on the air on Z100 between 7 and 8 a.m. on Monday. I''m sure they will also post the winner on the website. For anyone interested, the station is 100.3 in the NY metro area.

Oh cool thnk you! Someone please listen and let me know

 

[Nicrez]

I don''t think I wake up or do anything in the morning WITHOUT that station on... I laugh so hard, I actually WANT to sit up in bed and get up... I''ll let you know Ame!

I too tried to vote, but couldn''t. I hope they win, it''s such a sad story to hear of people who don''t get that dream wedding, and do so under circumstances of such tragedy!

 

[ame]
