Vote for Mary and Densey Cole

At the request of the fine proprietors of t-shirt purveyors, ScapeGoat Ink, I come to you, fair readers, with a plea to help out some good people with some simple internet voting.

(Most of this is copied from ScapeGoat Ink's blog.)

Crate & Barrel is sponsoring a $100,000 Dream Wedding Contest, in which couples submit their unique love stories, which are voted on by the public, but ultimately Crate & Barrel has the final vote, as to who is the most deserving. If chosen, the lucky winner receives the cash prize, and with the help of a wedding planner, the opportunity to make the wedding of their dreams a reality.

Friends of the ScapeGoat Inkers, Mary and Densey Cole (pictured below), entered this contest on a whim, but a lot of people have shown their support for them, and the possibility of them winning is becoming more and more of a reality. However, with over three weeks left in the contest, anything can happen.
To give you a brief backstory on Mary and Densey, last May, Densey -- a Chicago Police Officer -- was paralyzed from the neck down in a head-on collision while responding to a burglary call. Despite this tragedy, Mary and Densey were married in the hospital 4 weeks after the accident. Almost a year later, and with the help of Mary, Densey is growing stronger. And, through it all, he's managed to keep his sense of humor intact and continue to stay positive.

Please take a moment to check out Mary and Densey's inspirational story, and cast a vote for them. It only takes a minute to sign up, verify your email address, and vote.

If you have a Facebook account, please share the link to Mary and Densey's story(http://www.ultimateweddingcontest.com/entries/33527) on your page. If you're one of the few people on Twitter, please tweet about it, too. And, of course, if you're a fellow blogger, feel free to borrow from this entry, copy it, or write your own version of it and share it on your site. Thanks!
