It’s official! Jesse and David will be the lucky couple walking down the aisle in a Central Park wedding.

They beat out 50 other hopefuls to snag the grand prize: a dream wedding in Central Park. But, the competition was tough, and the coveted $5,000 check didn’t come easy. Armed with homemade fortune cookies and donning hand-decorated t-shirts, Jesse and David hit the streets of New York.

They serenaded us with a song in a YouTube video and even made their own Facebook page to get votes. A little creative marketing can sure go a long way! Jesse and David successfully spread the word about the contest, charming their way to 1,267 votes.

…And they charmed their way into our hearts (what can we say, we’re suckers for a good love story). Jesse and David met a year and a half ago, and the connection was undeniable. Right away, they knew they had something special. To Jesse, David was “the funniest, most honest, and real person I had ever met,” and David says Jesse is “the smartest, funniest, most motivated, most inspiring, and most beautiful woman I know.” Come on, guys, this is too adorable! 

As two starving artists in New York City, their dream wedding was once just a fantasy, but now the collaborative Done. community will make their special day a reality. Congratulations, Jesse and David! We foresee a beautiful wedding in your future.
