How did you and your partner meet? It all started in 2nd grade, I loved long hair. Kimdra's hair was just that. The smell of her hair caught my nose as I sat behind her. I'll never forget it. I followed her all over the school. Long, black, good, smelling hair! She was cute too and smart. I remember telling my Mother, "Kimdra has long hair," and all I spoke of was Kimdra. Then unexpectedly, no Kimdra, she left the school. Luck prevailed and Kimdra returned in 5th grade. I knew then she would become "My Dream Girl", and she did following our high school graduation. How did you and your partner get engaged? A wise man once stated "Luck is When Preparation Meets Opportunity", I started preparing in 2nd grade for My Dream Girl's engagement. Kimdra was informed she would be attending Christmas Gala. Little did she know I hired decorators, flew in flowers, rented 7 suites, and invited family and friends to her Riverfront Dream. On December 25, 2007, Kimdra entered 7 decorated rooms where poems and bibles scriptures were read. Five rooms represented the five years we dated, the sixth room represented my promise, and I proposed in the 7th room with all guests. View JamesAndKimdra.com. Why do you and your partner want to win this contest? We have aspirations of having a memorable wedding with our family in a tropical ambiance. However, we would like to be able to start saving money for a home. We want to win this contest to fulfill our destination wedding fantasy, and concurrently fulfill our dream of owning our first home. We have worked extremely hard at maintaining our relationship and have always strived to follow God's planned path for us. A destination wedding would allow us to visit our dream vacation spot, share our day of happiness with our family, and give "My Dream Girl" her dream wedding. Why do you want Jaheim to sing at your wedding reception? Kimdra has often stated that Jaheim is one of her favorite R&B singers since his debut album, "Ghetto Love" There for, when we heard about this contest Kimdra reminded me that she has all of his albums and immediately started playing his "Making of a Man" album. She told me that hearing Jaheim sing at our wedding reception would be the ultimate gift and at that moment I knew I had to enter the contest, so I could fulfill another one of her dreams. For Jaheim to sing at our wedding would be a tremendous gift to us and our family.

How did you and your partner meet? I met my fiancé (Chidonna) when I dropped by the grocery to pick up some items for dinner. Our eyes met and I felt drawn to her. After a few moments of conversation I asked for her number. She said "Turn around and give me your back." She used my back as a base to record her number on a slip of paper. Maybe it was her voice. Perhaps it was the sensation of the first gentle touch of her hand grazing across my back. That day I was settled in my soul; I knew she would be my wife. How did you and your partner get engaged? There is a famous Angel Oak located on historic Johns Island, South Carolina. The tree is 1,500 years old. Because of the tree's strength and longevity, it's revered as a sacred monument and South Carolina's most imposing work of nature. It's truly a gift from God. When I learned about this landmark, I knew I wanted my marriage to be as strong, blessed and timeless as the Angel Oak. There was no better place to propose marriage to Chidonna. I planned a romantic weekend in Charleston and proposed to my future wife on bended knee under the majestic Angel Oak. Why do you and your partner want to win this contest? My wife to be is a third grade teacher at on of the toughest elementary schools in our city. She works tirelessly to encourage her student to dare to dream. Not only does she encourage them to dream big dreams, but she gives 100% of herself everyday to make sure that they are equipped with the skills to accomplish their goals. Because she gives so much of herself, I think she deserves to have one of her own dreams come true. A luxury island wedding featuring Jaheim would be her ultimate fantasy fulfilled. Why do you want Jaheim to sing at your wedding reception? I must admit, until a year ago I barely know about Jaheim. My fiancé, his biggest fan, introduced me to his music. She has every song he has ever recorded. Her favorite song is "Never". So it is no surprise that "Never" is our official song. The song's lyrics express exactly how I feel about my commitment to her. She has been Jaheim's biggest fan from the inception of his recording career because of his honest soulful lyrics. We would like nothing more than to have the privilege of him singing "Our Song" at our reception.

Melissa W. age 27 & Lester J. age 29
Kansas City, MO
KPRS 103.3 FM Kansas City, MO
How did you and your partner meet? We met September '06 at happy hour in KC which Lester's marketing company was hosting. I was an event planner, so a friend introduced us on that basis. We learned that we were both Mississippi natives, so we decided to keep in touch. He gave me his card, and invited me to the next happy hour. I went, but meet another guy there. That didn't deter Lester. As I left, he asked me to call, but I misplaced his card. He was nice and gave me another. The next week, I emailed him, we've kept in touch ever since. How did you and your partner get engaged? Melissa planned a Vegas trip for my birthday. I contacted our airline and told them I wanted to propose on the flight. At the airport, I checked in before her and met the flight manager and crew on the jet-way. They confirmed my plans, and took the letter I wrote for Melissa, to the flight captain. As the plane reached a cruising altitude of 30,000+ feet the captain came on the speaker and read my letter. Melissa was in tears. Through her beautiful smile she said yes. Why do you and your partner want to win this contest? Winning the contest provides an important financial break for us. We have dreams of owning a home together as husband and wife and this will help us reach that dream faster. Many couples and families go into debt paying for the "wedding of their dreams" only to realize that they spent more on a dream than the actual components of the marriage. We don't want that to happen to us. We would like to focus more on our future together without worrying about incurring additional debt for a wedding/reception. So, this is a wonderful and perfect opportunity. Why do you want Jaheim to sing at your wedding reception? We were excited to learn about this contest, but we were blown away to learn that Jaheim would be singing as we dance for the first time as husband and wife. We remember him from the Apollo and have followed his career through the years. We heard him sing live on your show, and he was Amazing! It was nothing less than we expected. He is Real, from a time and place where real music lives. We are fans and lovers of real music. We couldn't be happier to have Jaheim share this special time in our lives!
