Thank you all for the kind words/gifts many of you gave to our family upon our Mother's recent passing.
My daughter Marissa is getting married in October. Her fiance is 1 of 8 finalists for Groom of the Year at Brides.com. There were about 2000 entrants! The winner is now determined by popular vote at the website. Could you you please click on the link and vote for
CHAD JOSEPH! He has the cowboy hat on. The hat is the one Marissa wore at the BHS sale last year!

Here is Marissa's story:
Hello,
My name is Marissa Pearson and I am looking for your support on behalf of Chad Joseph who is one of 8 finalists competing for the 2009 Groom of the Year Award at Brides.com. He is the only contestant from Minnesota and also the only individual in the law enforcement profession.
There are many things that I can say Chad has done for me over the past four years, but I am going to forgo that option and instead share with you why you should vote for him.
Chad has been on active duty with the Downtown Mpls. Police Dept. for nearly 12 years where he has protected, served and fought for all citizens of Minneapolis:
Approximately, 9 years ago Chad saved a man's life by pulling him from a burning car.
During a riot after a concert he had bricks thrown at him by angry protestors.
He participated in the 2009 RNC in St Paul.
The most dear to Chad's heart is the loss of his partner (Melissa Schmidt) who 7 years ago, received a fatal shot to the stomach while protecting the community.
Because of all that Chad does for the community I would love to see him win and as a group we would be able to showcase our Minnesota pride by voting for this hometown hero for Groom of the Year at http://www.brides.com/groomoftheyear
