“We both live in Tyler, and have been dating for three years,” she wrote in an e-mail. “The photos were taken for our two-year anniversary. (We) just took our three-year (photos, and) they came out great. Wish I would have had time to enter them.”

NO.3
“He loves hunting and fishing, also is a police officer and serves in the Army National Guard,” she wrote. “I am a family girl — anything to do with them I love. I love taking pictures, and thought I would capture a kiss with the best man I have ever met. We have been dating for three months – woohoo, couldn’t ask for a better man.”
Note: Some photos that may have qualified were disqualified because they had more votes than page views, a violation of the contest rules.
