Yesterday, Rick, Jay and Mary reviewed all the Wedding Day Threesome contest submissions and narrowed down our selections to a final six couples!

A huge congratulations goes out to Jen + Ned, Melinda + Mike, Kate + Riley, Brenda + Chris, Nicole + Jose, and Vanessa and Dave!! We absolutely loved the entries from these guys. Some couples gave us short + sweet, others gave us pages and pages. Some couples made us online slideshows, others made us Powerpoint presentations. One couple even supported their story using quotes from interviews with members of their family and wedding party! All in all, while we tried to narrow it down to three, ultimately we knew that all 6 of these brides and all 6 of these grooms deserved to make it to our final Phase of the Threesome contest. And here they are!

Today, we have the Phase III instructions from which we will select our $10,000 Wedding Day Threesome winner – and we can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

On a side note, we want to let everyone know that we’ve decided none of our Phase III Finalists go home empty-handed, so keep that in mind when you’re scurrying around!

Ladies and Gentlemen… Phase III is a Wedding Threesome photo shoot!

{Threesome Photoshoot | People + Places + Things}

People

1) Wedding Party

-       Take a photo to show us what your first night on your honeymoon would look like if your entire wedding party was in the room with you (nothing X-rated, please!)

2) Family

-       Create a Wedding Day family photo at your nearest famous landmark (using whatever definition of “family” you’d like!)

3) Threesome

-       Take a photo of your wedding day threesome

Places

1) Another Wedding

-       This one might be tricky, but we have faith in you! We want you to take a picture of yourselves with a bride and groom at THEIR wedding (proof of the date must be included!)

2) The Scene of the (original) Crime

-       Recreate your proposal scene, in costume

3) The Scene of the (soon-to-be) Crime

-      Give us a picture of what your ceremony will look like if the bride was the groom, and the groom was the bride

Things

1) The Dress

-       Take the dress that the groom wore in your ceremony role-reversal photo, and alter it into something the (real) bride would wear on her wedding night (please keep the photo clean!)

2) The Cake

-       Show us your best rendition of a Do-It-Yourself wedding cake created strictly by yourself and the groom. (if you have cake making talents, then…… do it blind-folded with your hands tied behind your back!) Note: the groom MUST be involved! (we all know it tends to be the brides with all the decorative talents!)

3) The Ring

-       Recreate your engagement ring to fit a giant (and submit it with a photo of your actual ring!)
