My my, is it already time for another Crate & Barrel wedding contest again? It was back in May 2010 we learned the fate of the top-scoring gay couple (second place for Gregory and Jonathan), and with another $100k dream wedding prize on the line, the gays are lining up again. Because they were the first to hit us up for some blog love, we’re sending positive thoughts (and a few votes) to Chad Kampe and his partner Matt, a Minneapolis couple calling themselves “Two Ripe Grapes.” I kind of just like the story of how they met: “Halloween 2003. Chad spots Matt grooving to Beyonce on the dance floor. Matt is dressed up as a wrestler. Chad and Matt lock eyes and jam out to “Crazy in Love.” Later that week, Chad serenades Matt a Spice Girls karaoke song on a their first date. Fast forward to 2011. Matt and Chad have become inseparable.” Vote for them here; you’ve got about three more weeks to pick your favorites. (Know of other deserving gay couples? Are you one? Let us know!)

But…but.but…..if they get married doesn’t that mean that my parents traditional marriage will collapse?!?!!?!?!?
Gregory
Don’t forget to vote for Robbie and ALlen who are now in second place in for votes. Only 800 or so from taking the lead. Would be a great win for marriage equality if a same-sex and/or trans couple were able to win those. Vote for Robbie and Allen at http://www.ultimateweddingcontest.com/entry/104050

Best wishes to Chad and Matt, for the competition, and most importantly a lifetime of happiness together. However, I have already voted for Robbie and Allen. Please help Robbie and Allen take the lead and come home strongly.. currently in second place they are in with a great chance to bring home the win for Marriage Equality. http://www.ultimateweddingcontest.com/entry/104050

Chad and Matt, you are sinning homosexuals and are going to be thrown into the pitt of hell by a vengeful god for your actions…..
Oh, and I just voted for you, good luck guys!!
Jackson
Good luck boys. More importantly, and more important than $100,000…congrats for attaining love, commitment and a soulmate. That is invaluable and something so many heteros still haven’t mastered, but through your hard efforts in your relationships and your open hearts, you prove that there’s many gay loving couples who do what some heteros can’t. Sending all the same sex couples much love in this!
Chad
Thank you all! This is such a sweet community. Jackson you are right, I am very lucky!
Chad
Keep them coming! We have some competition! We just need to be in top 100!

@Jonathan Howard:
